description: Presentazione realizzata in occasione dell'evento GenOA week 2022 (7-11 novembre 2022, Università di Genova).

Il lavoro relativo al progetto pilota dell’archivio istituzionale Open Access Repository dell’INFN (OAR) svolto nell’ultimo anno, ha visto una costante collaborazione di diverse professionalità. Bibliotecari, fisici e informatici hanno concentrato l’attenzione sulla scelta dei metadati, l’ingestione di grandi quantità di prodotti della ricerca, la divulgazione, con l’obiettivo di promuovere i principi dell’Open Science, favorendo il deposito Green, a partire dalla propria comunità di riferimento. La tecnologia scelta (Invenio e Zenodo, sviluppati dal CERN) permette di ospitare tutti i tipi di prodotti della ricerca, dati inclusi, con la disponibilità di strumenti dedicati per la conservazione a lungo termine. L’archivio OAR è stato infatti sviluppato in conformità ai principi FAIR e alle linee guida di PlanS. Tra le sue principali caratteristiche rientrano l’assegnazione di un DOI alle risorse, il supporto di identificatori univoci persistenti per le organizzazioni e l’associazione con il profilo ORCID dell’utente. Nel corso delle attività svolte è stato dato grande rilievo all’organizzazione dei metadati, alla progettazione di un workflow per l’approvazione dei prodotti, al popolamento con i prodotti della ricerca (Note tecniche relative a specifici progetti, Note interne, ecc). In quest’ultima fase sono stati sviluppati appositamente degli script realizzati in linguaggio Python, affiancati dall’utilizzo di API REST e del formato di interscambio YAML, per il caricamento massivo di centinaia di Note storiche interne relative a progetti INFN. È inoltre in corso un attento lavoro di progettazione della sezione Open Science all’interno della pagina web dell’INFN, con l’obiettivo di creare un canale di comunicazione con la comunità scientifica e i bibliotecari degli altri laboratori dell’INFN.

description: Context. Based on the Gaia DR3, we reconstructed the orbital evolution of the known Milky Way globular clusters and found that six objects, NGC 6681, NGC 6981, Palomar 6, NGC 6642, HP 1, and NGC 1904, very likely interact closely with the nuclear star cluster. Aims. We study the dynamical evolution of selected Milky Way globular clusters and their interactions with the Galactic centre over cosmological timescales. We examine the global dynamical mass loss of these globular cluster systems, their close interactions with the Galactic centre, and the potential capture of stars by the Milky Way nuclear star cluster. Methods. For the dynamical modelling of the clusters, we used the parallel N-body code phi-GPU, which allows star-by-star simulations of the systems. Our current code also enabled us to follow the stellar evolution of individual particles, including the formation of high-mass remnants. The modelling was carried out in a Milky Way-like, time-variable potential (with a dynamically changing mass and scale length), obtained from the IllustrisTNG-100 database, with a full integration time of eight billion years. Results. Based on extensive numerical modelling and analysis, we estimated the mass loss and the global and inner structures of the selected six clusters. Over an evolution of eight billion years, the clusters lost 80% of their initial mass. We analysed the phase-space evolution of the individual unbound stars NGC 6681, NGC 6642, HP 1, and NGC 1904. We found that only NGC 6642 could potentially have been a source for populating the Milky Way nuclear star cluster in the past.

description: A surrogate model approximates the outputs of a solver of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with a low computational cost. In this article, we propose a method to build learning-based surrogates in the context of parameterized PDEs, which are PDEs that depend on a set of parameters but are also temporal and spatial processes. Our contribution is a method hybridizing the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and several Support Vector Regression machines. This method is conceived to work in real-time, thus aimed for being used in the context of digital twins, where a user can perform an interactive analysis of results based on the proposed surrogate. We present promising results on two use cases concerning electrical machines. These use cases are not toy examples but are produced an industrial computational code, they use meshes representing non-trivial geometries and contain non-linearities.

description: The genetic changes appearing in the information system of the cells that program its unregulated growth and proliferation gradually lead to cancer manifestation and the treatment options must be guided accordingly. The critical roles played by some of the molecules associated with the specific signaling pathways and cell microenvironment that lead to oncogenesis and metastasis have been described precisely in recent years based on findings of the human genome project. Precision oncology relying on the genomic study of the cancer cells to better understand the prognosis and pathways involved with disease progression for the cure is destined to serve the purpose adequately. This article tries to comprehensively elucidate the foundations and frontiers of precision oncology in the context of single-cell technology for efficient cancer treatment.

description: A systematic, population-level discrepancy exists between the densities of exoplanets whose masses have been measured with transit timing variations (TTVs) versus those measured with radial velocities (RVs). Since the TTV planets are predominantly nearly resonant, it is still unclear whether the discrepancy is attributed to detection biases or to astrophysical differences between the nearly resonant and non resonant planet populations. We defined a controlled, unbiased sample of 36 sub-Neptunes characterised by Kepler, TESS, HARPS, and ESPRESSO. We found that their density depends mostly on the resonant state of the system, with a low probability (of $0.002_{-0.001}^{+0.010}$) that the mass of (nearly) resonant planets is drawn from the same underlying population as the bulk of sub-Neptunes. Increasing the sample to 133 sub-Neptunes reveals finer details: the densities of resonant planets are similar and lower than non-resonant planets, and both the mean and spread in density increase for planets that are away from resonance. This trend is also present in RV-characterised planets alone. In addition, TTVs and RVs have consistent density distributions for a given distance to resonance. We also show that systems closer to resonances tend to be more co-planar than their spread-out counterparts. These observational trends are also found in synthetic populations, where planets that survived in their original resonant configuration retain a lower density; whereas less compact systems have undergone post-disc giant collisions that increased the planet's density, while expanding their orbits. Our findings reinforce the claim that resonant systems are archetypes of planetary systems at their birth.

description: We propose a variational symplectic numerical method for the time integration of dynamical systems issued from the least action principle. We assume a quadratic internal interpolation of the state between two time steps and we approximate the action in one time step by the Simpson's quadrature formula. The resulting scheme is nonlinear and symplectic. First numerical experiments concern a nonlinear pendulum and we have observed experimentally very good convergence properties.

description: User simulation is a promising approach for automatically training and evaluating conversational information access agents, enabling the generation of synthetic dialogues and facilitating reproducible experiments at scale. However, the objectives of user simulation for the different uses remain loosely defined, hindering the development of effective simulators. In this work, we formally characterize the distinct objectives for user simulators: training aims to maximize behavioral similarity to real users, while evaluation focuses on the accurate prediction of real-world conversational agent performance. Through an empirical study, we demonstrate that optimizing for one objective does not necessarily lead to improved performance on the other. This finding underscores the need for tailored design considerations depending on the intended use of the simulator. By establishing clear objectives and proposing concrete measures to evaluate user simulators against those objectives, we pave the way for the development of simulators that are specifically tailored to their intended use, ultimately leading to more effective conversational agents.

description: As cities take center stage in developing and brokering strategies for sustainability, examining the uneven distribution of green infrastructure is crucial. Urban agriculture (UA) has gained a prominent role in urban greening and food system diversification strategies alike. Despite that it is the preeminent form of food production in North American cities, residential gardening has received little scholarly attention. Moreover, research on the intra-urban variability of home gardens is sparse. In this paper, we use a mixed-methods approach to assess the scale and scope of residential gardens in Portland, Oregon, a metropolitan region renowned for its innovations in sustainability. Using a combination of mapping, spatial regression, and a mail survey, we compare residential UA and the characteristics and motivations of gardeners in two socioeconomically differentiated areas of Portland and one of its major suburbs. Results demonstrate that engagement in UA is differentiated along both spatial and socioeconomic lines, with more educated respondents engaging for environmental reasons and more low income respondents relying on their gardens for food security. We contextualize our findings within broader urban processes, e.g. reinvestment in the urban core and displacement of poverty to the periphery. For policymakers, our results suggest the need for sustainability messaging that is sensitive to a variety of motivations and that resonates with a diverse population. For a city to reach a broader population, it may need to reframe its sustainability goals in new ways, while attending to the structural constraints to food access that cannot be resolved through local food production alone.

description: We started out by exploring the barriers in adopting PHRs and proposed a few approaches that can promote the adoption of PHRS by the general public so it is possible to implement continuity of care in community settings, evidence-based care, and also prevent potential medical errors. To uncover the barriers in adopting PHR, we have surveyed articles related to PHRS from 2008 to 2017 and categorized them into 6 different categories: motivation, usability, ownerships, interoperability, privacy, and security and portability.

We incorporated the survey results into our proposed PHRS, so it can help overcome some of the barriers and motivate people to adopt PHRS. In Our proposed PHRS, we aimed to manage personal health data by utilizing metadata for organizing and retrieval of clinical data. Cloud storage was chosen for easy access and sharing of health data with relevant caregivers to implement the continuity of care and evidence-based treatment. In our study, we have used Dropbox as storage for testing purposes. However, for practical use, secure cloud storage services that are Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) complaint can be used for privacy and security purposes, such as Dropbox (Business), Box, Google Drive,Microsoft OneDrive, and Carbonite. In case of emergency, we make critical medical information such as current medication and allergies available to relevant caregivers with valid license numbers only. In addition, to standardize PHR and improve health knowledge, we provide semantic guidance for using SNOMED CT to describe patient problems and for mapping SNOMED CT codes to ICD-10-CM to uncover potential diseases. As a proof of concept, we have developed two systems (prototypes): first, my clinical record system (MCRS) for organizing, managing, storing, sharing and retrieving personal health records in a timely manner; second, a health decision support system (HDSS) that can help users to use SNOMED CT codes and potential disease(s) as a diagnosis result.

description: In this paper, we study the problem of utility maximization in the uplink of vehicle-to-infrastructure communication systems. The studied scenarios consider four practical aspects of mobile radio communication links: i) Interference between adjacent channels, ii) interference between roadside units along the way, iii) fast and slow channel fadings, and iv) Doppler shift effects. We present first the system model for the IEEE 802.11p standard, which considers a communication network between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. Next, we formulate the problem of utility maximization in the network, and propose a distributed optimization scheme. This distributed scheme is based on a two-loop feedback configuration, where an outer-loop establishes the optimal signal to interference-noise ratio (SINR) that maximizes the utility function per vehicle and defines a quality-of-service objective. Meanwhile, inner-control loops adjust the transmission power to achieve this optimal SINR reference in each vehicle node regardless of interference, time-varying channel profiles and network latency. The computation complexity of the distributed utility maximization scheme is analyzed for each feedback loop. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme reaches the objective SINRs that maximize utility and improve energy efficiency in the network with a low time cost. The results also show that the maximum utility is consistently achieved for different propagation scenarios inside the vehicular communication network.

description: This paper introduces a novel approach to bolster algorithmic fairness in scenarios where sensitive information is only partially known. In particular, we propose to leverage instances with uncertain identity with regards to the sensitive attribute to train a conventional machine learning classifier. The enhanced fairness observed in the final predictions of this classifier highlights the promising potential of prioritizing ambiguity (i.e., non-normativity) as a means to improve fairness guarantees in real-world classification tasks.

description: Sixth generation (6G) wireless networks are envisioned to include aspects of energy footprint reduction (sustainability), besides those of network capacity and connectivity, at the design stage. This paradigm change requires radically new physical layer technologies. Notably, the integration of large-aperture arrays and the transmission over high frequency bands, such as the sub-terahertz spectrum, are two promising options. In many communication scenarios of practical interest, the use of large antenna arrays in the sub-terahertz frequency range often results in short-range transmission distances that are characterized by line-of-sight channels, in which pairs of transmitters and receivers are located in the (radiating) near field of one another. These features make the traditional designs, based on the far-field approximation, for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems sub-optimal in terms of spatial multiplexing gains. To overcome these limitations, new designs for MIMO systems are required, which account for the spherical wavefront that characterizes the electromagnetic waves in the near field, in order to ensure the highest spatial multiplexing gain without increasing the power expenditure. In this paper, we introduce an analytical framework for optimizing the deployment of antenna arrays in line-of-sight channels, which can be applied to paraxial and non-paraxial network deployments. In the paraxial setting, we devise a simpler analytical framework, which, compared to those available in the literature, provides explicit information about the impact of key design parameters. In the non-paraxial setting, we introduce a novel analytical framework that allows us to identify a set of sufficient conditions to be fulfilled for achieving the highest spatial multiplexing gain. The proposed designs are validated with numerical simulations.

description: This work focuses on creating a reliable and consistent way to evaluate regression models using residual plots, which are key tools for checking how well these models work. While statistical tests are often used, they have limits—they only detect specific issues and can sometimes be too sensitive. Residual plots, on the other hand, provide a visual way to spot problems, but they rely on human judgment, which can make them hard to use at scale. This research aims to solve that problem by developing a method to automate the process, making it more efficient and widely usable.

description: Most studies of triple flames in counterflowing streams of fuel and oxidizer have been focused on the symmetric problem in which the stoichiometric mixture fraction is $1/2$. There then exist lean and rich premixed flames of roughly equal strengths, with a diffusion flame trailing behind from the stoichiometric point at which they meet. In the majority of realistic situations, however, the stoichiometric mixture fraction departs appreciably from unity, typically being quite small. With the objective of clarifying the influences of stoichiometry, attention is focused on one of the simplest possible models, addressed here mainly by numerical integration. When the stoichiometric mixture fraction departs appreciably from $1/2$, one of the premixed wings is found to be dominant to such an extent that the diffusion flame and the other premixed flame are very weak by comparison. These curved, partially premixed flames are expected to be relevant in realistic configurations. In addition, a simple kinematic balance is shown to predict the shape of the front and the propagation velocity reasonably well in the limit of low stretch and low curvature.

description: The stability of a thick planar premixed flame, propagating steadily in a direction transverse to that of unidirectional shear flow, is studied. A linear stability analysis is carried out in the asymptotic limit of infinitely large activation energy, yielding a dispersion relation. The relation characterises the coupling between Taylor dispersion (or shear-enhanced diffusion) and the flame thermo-diffusive instabilities, in terms of two main parameters, namely, the reactant Lewis number $Le$ and the flow Peclet number $Pe$. The implications of the dispersion relation are discussed and various flame instabilities are identified and classified in the $Le$-$Pe$ plane. An important original finding is the demonstration that for values of the Peclet number exceeding a critical value, the classical cellular instability, commonly found for $Le<1$, exists now for $Le>1$ but is absent when $Le<1$. In fact, the cellular instability identified for $Le>1$ is shown to occur either through a finite-wavelength stationary bifurcation (also known as type-I$_s$) or through a longwave stationary bifurcation (also known as type-II$_s$). The latter type-II$_s$ bifurcation leads in the weakly nonlinear regime to a Kuramoto--Sivashinsky equation, which is determined. As for the oscillatory instability, usually encountered in the absence of Taylor dispersion in $Le>1$ mixtures, it is found to be absent if the Peclet number is large enough. The stability findings, which follow from the dispersion relation derived analytically, are complemented and examined numerically for a finite value of the Zeldovich number. The numerical study involves both computations of the eigenvalues of a linear stability boundary-value problem and numerical simulations of the time-dependent governing partial differential equations. The computations are found to be in good qualitative agreement with the analytical predictions.

Subjects: Sentinel2, wildfire, a posteriori dNDVI

description: Remote sensing from satellite is  a good tool for both fire detection and burn area assessment. A multi-temporal approach relies on pre and post fire multispectral  images to derive vegetation maps (e.g. Normalised Differential Vegetation Index-NDVI, dNBR . We have   considered two test cases:  one in UK were only post fire cloud free Sentinel 2 data are available and one in Italy were pre -fire, active- fire and post- fire Sentinel 2 A data are available.

The Dovestones- Stalybridge  wildfire occurred on 10th  April 2016.  Data acquired by Sentinel 2A on 20 April 2016 and 19 July 2016 were used  to derive  an "a posteriori" dNDVI -differential NDVI- by using two post images. A validation fieldwork  was conducted  on July 2016 to identify  re-growing and burn patches  to  validate the obtained results.

The Italian test site is located in S. Marinella area Latium Italy, images acquired by Sentinel 2A pre fire on 11 May  2017 and two post 9 August 2017 and 27 November 2017 . The results are promising and the techniques can be used to  validate burn area detection retrieved by using new SAR based methods or to complement more traditional methods based on dNDVI or dNBR by using a pre- post pairs. Work is  in progress to derive an optimized threshold approach to be tested on a range of test sites. .
On the two-reactant one-step activation-energy asymptotics for steady, adiabatic, planar flames with Lewis numbers of unity

description: Aspects of predictions of activation-energy asymptotics concerning the dependence of the burning velocity on the equivalence ratio are examined here through both asymptotic analyses and numerical computation. In typical hydrocarbon-air flames, the burning velocity achieves its maximum value for fuel-rich mixture, the cause being generally attributed to the effects of detailed chemical kinetics and unequal diffusivities of the reactants. The present results demonstrate the possibility of this attribute of the burning velocity occurring even when these two effects are absent. This is accomplished by parametrically studying the burning-velocity formula valid for all equivalence ratios under the conditions specified in the title of this article, with special attention paid to implications for hydrocarbon-air flames.
title: The impact of the NHS reforms on social welfare: the case of coronary revascularisation services

Subjects: subject: Health services & community care services

description: This thesis assesses the impact of the 1991 health care reforms on the British National Health Service with respect to one specialist service, coronary revascularisation, and examines the ways in which greater improvements in social welfare could be achieved. It is divided into three broad sections. The first section outlines the background to the reforms, the assessment criteria against which the reforms are to be measured and the service to be evaluated. The second section measures the impact of the reforms on efficiency and equity, the chosen assessment criteria, by means both of quantitative and qualitative analyses. The analyses describes the changes which had occurred since the introduction of market mechanisms into the NHS in 1991. Variations in the availability and use of coronary revascularisation services decreased and the contracting process became more sophisticated which suggested the reforms had been instrumental in increasing efficiency and equity. However, large variations remained and market mechanisms continued to cause a series of problems which signified that the reforms were still a long way off achieving an efficient allocation of resources. The third section considers how greater social welfare could be achieved. A strategy for improving social welfare involved managing the market for coronary revascularisations more effectively. An audit of waiting list management in three hospitals demonstrated that patients were often not treated within an appropriate time. The potential to improve efficiency and equity by more effective management of demand for coronary revascularisations therefore existed and the development of guidelines was recommended. Such guidelines were developed with the aim of prioritising patients according to their urgency of need. Finally, the thesis discusses the implications both for health care policy and future research.

description: Mixture of regression model is widely used to cluster subjects from a suspected heterogeneous population due to differential relationships between response and covariates over unobserved subpopulations. In such applications, statistical evidence pertaining to the significance of a hypothesis is important yet missing to substantiate the findings. In this case, one may wish to test hypotheses regarding the effect of a covariate such as its overall significance. If confirmed, a further test of whether its effects are different in different subpopulations might be performed. This paper is motivated by the analysis of Chiroptera dataset, in which, we are interested in knowing how forearm length development of bat species is influenced by precipitation within their habitats and living regions using finite Gaussian mixture regression (GMR) model. Since precipitation may have different effects on the evolutionary development of the forearm across the underlying subpopulations among bat species worldwide, we propose several testing procedures for hypotheses regarding the effect of precipitation on forearm length under finite GMR models. In addition to the real analysis of Chiroptera data, through simulation studies, we examine the performances of these testing procedures on their type I error rate, power, and consequently, the accuracy of clustering analysis.

Analysis of language teaching textbooks: instruments for applied language teaching methodology

The article raises awareness of how modern languages textbooks are structured. It presents a detailed, step-by-step observation grid that guides textbook analysis. The grid is accompanied by instructions that recall and illustrate – in a synthetic but systematic form – the key concepts of language teaching. It is thus intended to be a tool for (self-)study, based on practice yet firmly anchored to the theoretical principles that constitute the foundation of teaching practice. To support and complement the section in which the reader is guided in the analysis, the results of a language teaching study on a selection of different L2 textbooks using the proposed observation grid are presented.
