Pre-saddle neutron multiplicity for fission reactions induced by heavy ions and light particles

description: Pre-saddle neutron multiplicity has been calculated for several fission reactions induced by heavy ions and light particles. Experimentally, it is impossible to determine the contribution of neutrons being emitted before the saddle point and those emitted between the saddle and the scission points. Determination of the pre-saddle neutron multiplicity in our research is based on the comparison between the experimental anisotropies and those predicted by the standard saddle-point statistical model. Analysis of the results shows that the pre-saddle neutron multiplicity depends on the fission barrier height and stability of the compound nucleus. In heavy ion induced fission, the number of pre-saddle neutrons decreases with increasing the excitation energy of the compound nucleus. A main cause of this behavior is due to a reduction in the ground state-to-saddle point transition time with increasing the excitation energy of the compound nucleus. Whereas in induced fission by light particles, the number of pre-saddle neutrons increases with increasing the excitation energy of the compound nucleus.

description: Homophily and social influence are the fundamental mechanisms that drive the evolution of attitudes, beliefs and behaviour within social groups. Homophily relates the similarity between pairs of individuals' attitudinal states to their frequency of interaction, and hence structural tie strength, while social influence causes the convergence of individuals' states during interaction. Building on these basic elements, we propose a new mathematical modelling framework to describe the evolution of attitudes within a group of interacting agents. Specifically, our model describes sub-conscious attitudes that have an activator-inhibitor relationship. We consider a homogeneous population using a deterministic, continuous-time dynamical system. Surprisingly, the combined effects of homophily and social influence do not necessarily lead to group consensus or global monoculture. We observe that sub-group formation and polarisation-like effects may be transient, the long-time dynamics being quasi-periodic with sensitive dependence to initial conditions. This is due to the interplay between the evolving interaction network and Turing instability associated with the attitudinal state dynamics.

description: State-of-the-art machine learning (ML) models are highly effective in classifying gait analysis data, however, they lack in providing explanations for their predictions. This "black-box" characteristic makes it impossible to understand on which input patterns, ML models base their predictions. The present study investigates whether Explainable Artificial Intelligence methods, i.e., Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP), can be useful to enhance the explainability of ML predictions in gait classification. The research question was: Which input patterns are most relevant for an automated gender classification model and do they correspond to characteristics identified in the literature? We utilized a subset of the GAITREC dataset containing five bilateral ground reaction force (GRF) recordings per person during barefoot walking of 62 healthy participants: 34 females and 28 males. Each input signal (right and left side) was min-max normalized before concatenation and fed into a multi-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The classification accuracy was obtained over a stratified ten-fold cross-validation. To identify gender-specific patterns, the input relevance scores were derived using LRP. The mean classification accuracy of the CNN with 83.3% showed a clear superiority over the zero-rule baseline of 54.8%.

description: Machine learning (ML) models have proven effective in classifying gait analysis data, e.g., binary classification of young vs. older adults. ML models, however, lack in providing human understandable explanations for their predictions. This "black-box" behavior impedes the understanding of which input features the model predictions are based on. We investigated an Explainable Artificial Intelligence method, i.e., Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP), for gait analysis data. The research question was: Which input features are used by ML models to classify age-related differences in walking patterns? We utilized a subset of the AIST Gait Database 2019 containing five bilateral ground reaction force (GRF) recordings per person during barefoot walking of healthy participants. Each input signal was min-max normalized before concatenation and fed into a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Participants were divided into three age groups: young (20-39 years), middle-aged (40-64 years), and older (65-79 years) adults. The classification accuracy and relevance scores (derived using LRP) were averaged over a stratified ten-fold cross-validation. The mean classification accuracy of 60.1% was clearly higher than the zero-rule baseline of 37.3%. The confusion matrix shows that the CNN distinguished younger and older adults well, but had difficulty modeling the middle-aged adults.

description: This portfolio-style thesis has three components: a case study, my own autoethnographic work, and the analysis of Doublelist casual encounter ads. It explores hookup culture across Metro Atlanta and the Southeast among down low and discreet men beginning with an examination of the masc 4 masc subculture where MSM assert their hypermasculinity in an attempt to stay on top of the heteropatriarchy. I then explore brojobs, how the definition can fluctuate, and participants’ past sexual conquests. Sexual fluidity and identity correlate for some, while it is distinct for others. Lastly, the secretive nature of the down low and discreet culture are analyzed through means of sexual behaviors.

description: This paper is concerned with stochastic reaction-diffusion kinetics governed by the reaction-diffusion master equation. Specifically, the primary goal of this paper is to provide a mechanistic basis of Turing pattern formation that is induced by intrinsic noise. To this end, we first derive an approximate reaction-diffusion system by using linear noise approximation. We show that the approximated system has a certain structure that is associated with a coupled dynamic multi-agent system. This observation then helps us derive an efficient computation tool to examine the spatial power spectrum of the intrinsic noise. We numerically demonstrate that the result is quite effective to analyze noise-induced Turing pattern. Finally, we illustrate the theoretical mechanism behind the noise-induced pattern formation with a H2 norm interpretation of the multi-agent system.

description: • Background Fixed orthodontic treatment increases bacterial plaque accumulation by providing numerous mechanical retention sites making them more prone for plaque accumulation leading to gingivitis and periodontitis. Chlorhexidine is considered as gold standard and is widely used alone as well as an adjunct to mechanical oral hygiene procedures. As compared to chemicals and allopathy, now a days patients are showing great inclination for the herbal products. Commercially available herbal mouhrinses are emerging these days in the market. Because of their lack of purity, these is a need for more herbal alternative mouthrinses like Triphala. As known, silver coated wire has antimicrobial and antiadherent properties, still not commercially available. Some reasons could be cost, toxicity levels, etc. Thereby, to evaluate the effects herbal mouthwashes in adjunct with herbal form of silver i.e. Rajat bhasma, present study has been taken up to check the antimicrobial and anti-adherent properties with various combinations • Objectives 1. To evaluate the efficacy of chlorhexidine mouthrinse and Rajat bhasma jelly as an antimicrobial agent 2. To evaluate the efficacy of Triphala mouthrinse and Rajat bhasma jelly as an antimicrobial agent 3. To compare the antimicrobial potency of chlorhexidine, triphala with rajat bhasma jelly combinations as against chlorhexidine on bacterial accumulation (streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus). • Methodology Plaque will be collected from the left molar to right molar of the upper arch with a sterile curette at 3 intervals T0 = after complete prophylaxis prior to bonding T1 = 1 month after bonding T3 = 2 months after bonding Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli will be quantified by colony count procedure. • Expected Results Reduction in plaque accumulation in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment is more with synergistic effect of rajat bhasma with various mouthrinses. • Conclusion  It is expected that, Rajat bhasma and triphala being ayurvedic products cause no harm and show plaque reduction.

description: The discovery of a previously unknown 21cm HI line source identified as an ultra-compact high velocity cloud in the ALFALFA survey is reported. The HI detection is barely resolved by the Arecibo 305m telescope ~4' beam and has a narrow HI linewidth (HPFW of 24 km/s). Further HI observations at Arecibo and with the VLA corroborate the ALFALFA HI detection, provide an estimate of the HI radius, ~1' at the 5 x 10^19 cm^-2 isophote, and show the cloud to exhibit rotation with an amplitude of ~9.0 +/- 1.5 km/s. In other papers, Rhode et al. (2013) show the HI source to have a resolved stellar counterpart and ongoing star forming activity, while Skillman et al. (2013) reveal it as having extremely low metallicity: 12 + log(O/H) = 7.16 +/- 0.04. The HI mass to stellar mass ratio of the object is found to be 2.6. We use the Tully-Fisher template relation in its baryonic form (McGaugh 2012) to obtain a distance estimate D = 1.3 (+0.9,-0.5) Mpc. Additional constraints on the distance are also provided by the optical data of Rhode et al. (2013) and McQuinn et al. (private communication), both indicating a distance in the range of 1.5 to 2.0 Mpc. The three estimates are compatible within their errors. The object appears to be located beyond the dynamical boundaries of, but still in close proximity to the Local Group. Its pristine properties are consistent with the sedate environment of its location. At a nominal distance of 1.75 Mpc, it would have an HI mass of ~1.0 x 10^6 Msun, a stellar mass of ~3.6 x 10^5 Msun, and a dynamical mass within the HI radius of ~1.5 x 10^7 Msun. This discovery supports the idea that optically faint - or altogether dark - low mass halos may be detectable through their non-stellar baryons.

description: In video surveillance as well as automotive applications, so-called fisheye cameras are often employed to capture a very wide angle of view. As such cameras depend on projections quite different from the classical perspective projection, the resulting fisheye image and video data correspondingly exhibits non-rectilinear image characteristics. Typical image and video processing algorithms, however, are not designed for these fisheye characteristics. To be able to develop and evaluate algorithms specifically adapted to fisheye images and videos, a corresponding test data set is therefore introduced in this paper. The first of those sequences were generated during the authors' own work on motion estimation for fish-eye videos and further sequences have gradually been added to create a more extensive collection. The data set now comprises synthetically generated fisheye sequences, ranging from simple patterns to more complex scenes, as well as fisheye video sequences captured with an actual fisheye camera. For the synthetic sequences, exact information on the lens employed is available, thus facilitating both verification and evaluation of any adapted algorithms. For the real-world sequences, we provide calibration data as well as the settings used during acquisition. The sequences are freely available via www.lms.lnt.de/fisheyedataset/.

description: ABSTRACT
Transferosomes' are specially optimized particles or vesicles, which can respond to an external stress by rapid and energetically inexpensive, shape transformations. The present study was carried out to use statistical techniques of quality by design to develop and optimize Methotrexate Transfersomes by conventional rotary evaporation sonication techniques. A32 full factorial design was used to understand the main effects and interaction of formulation variables. The relationship between the dependent and independent variables was further elucidated using contour plots. Then, experimental design combined with desirability functions to predict the desired quality.
A conventional rotary evaporation sonication technique was developed to prepare Baricitinib transfersomes using Phopholipon 90 G as a lipid (SPC) and SPAN 80 as an edge activator (EA).Preformulationstudiesprovedthepurityofdrugandcompatibilityof drug and excipients was evaluated by DSC study. BCT loaded transfersomes was successfully formulated using 32 full factorial design and desirability function. The %entrapment efficiency, deformability index and particle size were highly dependent on the SPC: EA ratio, and BCT concentration for the preparation of BCT loaded Transfersomes. SPC: EA ratio and BCT concentration had a positive effect on % Entrapment efficiency and negative effect on deformability. But particle size was not much affected. Using contour plots, response surface plots and % Bias, formulation was optimized. Batch M5 (1:1PC: EA, 2%w/v BCT) is best batch among nine combinations. Surface morphology of transfersomes was evaluated by TEM study. A good interaction between drug and excipients were found with FTIR study of transferosomes. It was advisable to store BCT-TFS at refrigerated conditions (4±2 0C).Optimum drug: lipidratiois0.1-0.4.BCT-TFS was successfully optimized with experimental design and desirability function.

description: Direct Torque Control (DTC) is well known as an effective control technique for high performance drives in a wide variety of industrial applications and conventional DTC technique uses two constant reference value: torque and stator flux. In this paper, a new fuzzy based stator flux optimizer has been proposed for DTC controlled induction motor drivers and simulation studies have been carried out with Matlab/Simulink to compare the proposed system behaviours at vary load conditions. The most important feature of the proposed fuzzy logic based stator flux optimizer that it self-regulates the stator flux reference value using the motor load situation without need of any motor parameters. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed DTC technique has been improved and especially at low-load conditions torque ripples are greatly reduced with respect to the conventional DTC.

description: The pressure induced superconductivity and structural evolution for Bi2Se3 single crystal have been studied. The emergence of superconductivity with onset transition temperature (Tc) about 4.4K is observed around 12GPa. Tc increases rapidly to the highest 8.5K at 16GPa, decreases to 6.5K at 21GPa, then keep almost constant. It is found that Tc versus pressure is closely related to the carrier density which increases by more than two orders of magnitude from 2GPa to 23GPa. High pressure synchrotron radiation measurements reveal structure transitions occur around 12GPa, 20GPa, and above 29GPa, respectively. A phase diagram of superconductivity versus pressure is obtained.

description: We consider the problem of estimating the unknown response function in the multichannel deconvolution model with long-range dependent Gaussian errors. We do not limit our consideration to a specific type of long-range dependence rather we assume that the errors should satisfy a general assumption in terms of the smallest and larger eigenvalues of their covariance matrices. We derive minimax lower bounds for the quadratic risk in the proposed multichannel deconvolution model when the response function is assumed to belong to a Besov ball and the blurring function is assumed to possess some smoothness properties, including both regular-smooth and super-smooth convolutions. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive wavelet estimator of the response function that is asymptotically optimal (in the minimax sense), or near-optimal within a logarithmic factor, in a wide range of Besov balls. It is shown that the optimal convergence rates depend on the balance between the smoothness parameter of the response function, the kernel parameters of the blurring function, the long memory parameters of the errors, and how the total number of observations is distributed among the total number of channels. Some examples of inverse problems in mathematical physics where one needs to recover initial or boundary conditions on the basis of observations from a noisy solution of a partial differential equation are used to illustrate the application of the theory we developed. The optimal convergence rates and the adaptive estimators we consider extend the ones studied by Pensky and Sapatinas (2009, 2010) for independent and identically distributed Gaussian errors to the case of long-range dependent Gaussian errors.

TWO CLADE III GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE ISOFORMS INVERSELY REGULATE LOCAL AND LONG-DISTANCE CA2+ SIGNALLING IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA
Creators: name: DOCCULA, FABRIZIO GANDOLFO

description: In the central nervous system, ionotropic Glutamate Receptors (iGluRs) are tetrameric ligand-gated non-selective cation channels. They have been linked to learning and memory as well as to neurodegenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer disease. Thus, they are among the best characterized channels in animals. Animals and plants share this class of proteins. Plant Glutamate Receptors-like (GLRs) have been implicated in stomata movement regulation, pollen tube growth, long-distance signalling, root development and defence against pathogens. However, to date few details are known about their basic properties and functions, such as binding activity, ion transportation, sub-cellular localization, subunits interaction, desensitization etc. My PhD project focused on two GLR isoforms in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtGLR3.3 and AtGLR3.7 (hereafter called ?AtGLR3.x?). Being putative amino acids-gated Ca2+-permeable channels, I tested the hypothesis that the two isoforms could handle Ca2+ dynamics upon amino acids challenge. Remarkably, Arabidopsis Col-0 plants show a transient elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ at the root tip meristematic zone upon amino acids treatment. Ablation of the AtGLR3.3 abolished the increase of Ca2+ concentration whereas loss of-function mutants for AtGLR3.7 showed enhanced Ca2+ rises in response to amino acids. Additionally, when the double mutant glr3.3glr3.7 was challenged with amino acids, mirrored the glr3.3 null-response. These results strongly suggested that the two AtGLRs could assemble in a channel where GLR3.3 would act as main scaffold and GLR3.7 would negatively regulate the biophysical properties. Being AtGLR3.x also expressed in the vascular tissues and in the cells of the floral abscission zone, we also assayed the role of AtGLR3.x in the generation/propagation of long-distance Ca2+ waves that occurs between stems and inflorescence apexes of Arabidopsis plants subjected to flaming. In the future, our efforts will be aimed at understanding whether the predicted amino acid sensing of GLRs is also required for the long-distance signalization.

description: We experimentally demonstrate that large magnetic vortex oscillations can be parametrically excited in a magnetic tunnel junction by the injection of radio-frequency (rf) currents at twice the natural frequency of the gyrotropic vortex core motion. The mechanism of excitation is based on the parallel pumping of vortex motion by the rf orthoradial field generated by the injected current. Theoretical analysis shows that experimental results can be interpreted as the manifestation of parametric amplification when rf current is small, and of parametric instability when rf current is above a certain threshold. By taking into account the energy nonlinearities, we succeed to describe the amplitude saturation of vortex oscillations as well as the coexistence of stable regimes.

description: Spectropolarimetry provides the means to probe the 3D geometries of Supernovae at early times. We report spectropolarimetric observations of the Type Ia Supernova 2012fr at four epochs: -11, -5, +2 and +24 days, with respect to B-lightcurve maximum. SN 2012fr is a normal Type Ia SN, similar to SNe 1990N, 2000cx and 2005hj (that all exhibit low velocity decline rates for the principal Si II line). The SN displays high velocity components at -11 days that are highly polarized. The polarization of these features decreases as they become weaker from -5 days. At +2 days, the polarization angles of the low velocity components of silicon and calcium are identical and oriented at 90 degrees relative to the high velocity Ca component. In addition to having very different velocities, the high and low velocity Ca components have orthogonal distributions in the plane of the sky. The continuum polarization for the SN at all four epochs is low <0.1%. We conclude that the low level of continuum polarization is inconsistent with the merger-induced explosion scenario. The simple axial symmetry evident from the polarization angles of the high velocity and low velocity Ca components, along with the presence of high velocity components of Si and Ca, are consistent with the pulsating delayed detonation model. We predict that, during the nebular phase, SN 2012fr will display blue-shifted emission lines of Fe-group elements.

description: We consider three-dimensional AdS gravity minimally coupled to a massless scalar field and study numerically the evolution of small smooth circularly symmetric perturbations of the $AdS_3$ spacetime. As in higher dimensions, for a large class of perturbations, we observe a turbulent cascade of energy to high frequencies which entails instability of $AdS_3$. However, in contrast to higher dimensions, the cascade cannot be terminated by black hole formation because small perturbations have energy below the black hole threshold. This situation appears to be challenging for the cosmic censor. Analysing the energy spectrum of the cascade we determine the width $ρ(t)$ of the analyticity strip of solutions in the complex spatial plane and argue by extrapolation that $ρ(t)$ does not vanish in finite time. This provides evidence that the turbulence is too weak to produce a naked singularity and the solutions remain globally regular in time, in accordance with the cosmic censorship hypothesis.

Membrane properties revealed by spatiotemporal response to a local inhomogeneity

description: We study theoretically the spatiotemporal response of a lipid membrane submitted to a local chemical change of its environment, taking into account the time-dependent profile of the reagent concentration due to diffusion in the solution above the membrane. We show that the effect of the evolution of the reagent concentration profile becomes negligible after some time. It then becomes possible to extract interesting properties of the membrane response to the chemical modification. We find that a local density asymmetry between the two monolayers relaxes by spreading diffusively in the whole membrane. This behavior is driven by intermonolayer friction. Moreover, we show how the ratio of the spontaneous curvature change to the equilibrium density change induced by the chemical modification can be extracted from the dynamics of the local membrane deformation. Such information cannot be obtained by analyzing the equilibrium vesicle shapes that exist in different membrane environments in light of the area-difference elasticity model.

description: In the last decade, exponential data growth supplied machine learning-based algorithms' capacity and enabled their usage in daily-life activities. Additionally, such an improvement is partially explained due to the advent of deep learning techniques, i.e., stacks of simple architectures that end up in more complex models. Although both factors produce outstanding results, they also pose drawbacks regarding the learning process as training complex models over large datasets are expensive and time-consuming. Such a problem is even more evident when dealing with video analysis. Some works have considered transfer learning or domain adaptation, i.e., approaches that map the knowledge from one domain to another, to ease the training burden, yet most of them operate over individual or small blocks of frames. This paper proposes a novel approach to map the knowledge from action recognition to event recognition using an energy-based model, denoted as Spectral Deep Belief Network. Such a model can process all frames simultaneously, carrying spatial and temporal information through the learning process. The experimental results conducted over two public video dataset, the HMDB-51 and the UCF-101, depict the effectiveness of the proposed model and its reduced computational burden when compared to traditional energy-based models, such as Restricted Boltzmann Machines and Deep Belief Networks.

description: We report the first experimental realization of the geometric Landau-Zener-Stückelberg (LZS) interferometry proposed by [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 207002 (2011)] in a single trapped ion system. Different from a conventional LZS interferometer, the interference fringes of our geometric interferometer originate solely from geometric phase. We also observe the robustness of the interference contrast against noise or fluctuation in the experimental parameters. Our scheme can be applied to other complex systems subject to relatively large errors in system control.

PRECISION MEDICINE IN SOCIETY: PROMISES, EXPECTATIONS AND CONCERNS AROUND SOCIAL AND HEALTH EQUITY
Creators: name: GALASSO, ILARIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2019

description: This thesis analyzes precision medicine from an ethical and political perspective, especially in terms of distributive justice: it is aimed at investigating the kinds of benefits that can be produced after precision medicine, and the possible distributions of those benefits, by considering the consequent impact of precision medicine on social and health equity. Precision medicine is considered as a social construct subjected to different interpretations, and it is analyzed by mainly referring to two major case studies: the Precision Medicine Initiative in the US, and the 100,000 Genomes Project in the UK. The analysis focuses on the promises of precision medicine, as expressed in the discourses of the two projects, compared with the expectations and the concerns, as expressed in published comments and in fieldwork interviews with relevant stakeholders. The analysis investigated the scope of precision medicine with respect to public health, the inclusiveness of precision medicine, and the democratizing capacities. It emerged that there are different versions of precision medicine, which encompass different scopes and possibly produce different kinds of benefits. In particular, one version, by also including in its scope the social determinants of health, is argued to have the ?societal potential? to inform socio-political interventions to promote social equity and, in return, health equity. It is argued that, although the benefits directly deriving from precision medicine - tailored biomedical treatments and information supposed to empower individuals - risk to totally exclude socio-economically disadvantaged groups, thus preventing any solidarity-based participation, on the other hand, the implementation of the ?social potential? would foster the public good and a solidarity-based medicine, to the advantage of everybody. Some challenges for the actualization of this ?societal potential? are identified and discussed. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to overcoming those challenges by promoting the dialogue and the alignment between medical innovation and socio-political reforms.

description: We present KPNO 4-m and LBT/MODS spectroscopic observations of an HII region in the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy Leo P discovered recently in the Arecibo ALFALFA survey. In both observations, we are able to accurately measure the temperature sensitive [O III] 4363 Angstrom line and determine a "direct" oxygen abundance of 12 + log(O/H) = 7.17 +/- 0.04. Thus, Leo P is an extremely metal deficient (XMD) galaxy, and, indeed, one of the most metal deficient star-forming galaxies ever observed. For its estimated luminosity, Leo P is consistent with the relationship between luminosity and oxygen abundance seen in nearby dwarf galaxies. Leo P shows normal alpha element abundance ratios (Ne/O, S/O, and Ar/O) when compared to other XMD galaxies, but elevated N/O, consistent with the "delayed release" hypothesis for N/O abundances. We derive a helium mass fraction of 0.2509 +0.0184 -0.0123 which compares well with the WMAP + BBN prediction of 0.2483 +/- 0.0002 for the primordial helium abundance. We suggest that surveys of very low mass galaxies compete well with emission line galaxy surveys for finding XMD galaxies. It is possible that XMD galaxies may be divided into two classes: the relatively rare XMD emission line galaxies which are associated with starbursts triggered by infall of low-metallicity gas and the more common, relatively quiescent XMD galaxies like Leo P, with very low chemical abundances due to their intrinsically small masses.

description: A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with a triple of complex structures satisfying the quaternionic relations. A holomorphic Lagrangian variety on a hypercomplex manifold with trivial canonical bundle is a holomorphic subvariety which is calibrated by a form associated with the holomorphic volume form; this notion is a generalization of the usual holomorphic Lagrangian subvarieties known in hyperkaehler geometry. An HKT (hyperkaehler with torsion) metric on a hypercomplex manifold is a metric determined by a local potential, in a similar way to the Kaehler metric. We prove that a base of a holomorphic Lagrangian fibration is always Kaehler, if its total space is HKT. This is used to construct new examples of hypercomplex manifolds which do not admit an HKT structure.
