description: We discuss precision measurements of the leading atmospheric parameters at a standard neutrino factory with a detector that is sensitive to muons alone. The oscillation of the muon- and electron neutrinos in the neutrino factory beam to tau neutrinos adds to the muon events sample (both right sign and wrong sign) via leptonic decays of the taus produced through charge-current interactions in the detector. In particular, we study how this affects a precision measurement of the atmospheric mixing parameters and the deviation of nu_mu nu_tau mixing from maximality. In spite of the enhancement of the number of events due to the additional tau contribution, the determination of the atmospheric mixing angle and the deviation from maximality will be poorer. We show that it is impossible to devise satisfactory cuts to remove this tau contamination. Neglect of these tau contributions will lead to an incorrect conclusion about the precision obtainable at such a neutrino factory.

description: This paper presents an overview and features of an Analysis Description Language (ADL) designed for HEP data analysis. ADL is a domain specific, declarative language that describes the physics content of an analysis in a standard and unambiguous way, independent of any computing frameworks. It also describes infrastructures that render ADL executable, namely CutLang, a direct runtime interpreter (originally also a language), and adl2tnm, a transpiler converting ADL into C++ code. In ADL, analyses are described in human readable plain text files, clearly separating object, variable and event selection definitions in blocks, with a syntax that includes mathematical and logical operations, comparison and optimisation operators, reducers, four-vector algebra and commonly used functions. Recent studies demonstrate that adapting the ADL approach has numerous benefits for the experimental and phenomenological HEP communities. These include facilitating the abstraction, design, optimization, visualization, validation, combination, reproduction, interpretation and overall communication of the analysis contents and long term preservation of the analyses beyond the lifetimes of experiments. Here we also discuss some of the current ADL applications in physics studies and future prospects based on static analysis and differentiable programming.

description: We present a resolution of the Klein paradox within the framework of one-particle relativistic quantum mechanics. Not only reflection becomes total but the vacuum remains neutral as well. This is accomplished by replacing the pair production process with virtual negative energy "incidence" within the barrier in a similar manner to what is done with image charges in electrostatic and virtual sources in optics.

description: The focus of this dissertation is the relationship between the necessity for protection and the construction of cultural identities. In particular, by cultural identities I mean the representation and construction of communities: national communities, religious communities or local communities. By protection I mean the need for individuals and groups to be reassured about dangers and risks. From an anthropological point of view, the relationship between the need for protection and the formation and construction of collective identities is driven by the defensive function of culture. This was recognized explicitly by Claude Lévi-Strauss and Jurij Lotman.
To explore the “protective hypothesis,” it was especially useful to compare the immunitarian paradigm, proposed by Roberto Esposito, with a semiotic approach to the problem. According to Esposito, immunity traces borders, dividing Community from what should be kept outside: the enemies, dangers and chaos, and, in general, whatever is perceived to be a threat to collective and individual life. I recognized two dimensions in the concept of immunity. The first is the logic dimension: every element of a system makes sense because of the network of differential relations
in which it is inscribed; the second dimension is the social praxis of division and definition of who. We are (or what is inside the border), and who They are (or what is, and must be kept, outside the border).
I tested my hypothesis by analyzing two subject areas in particular: first, the security practices in London after 9/11 and 7/7; and, second, the Spiritual Guide of 9/11 suicide bombers. In both cases, one observes the construction of two entities: We and They. The difference between the two cases is their “model of the world”: in the London case, one finds the political paradigms of security as Sovereignty, Governamentality and Biopolitics. In the Spiritual Guide, one observes a religious model of the Community of God confronting the Community of Evil. From a semiotic point view, the problem is the origin of respective values, the origin of respective moral universes, and the construction of authority. In both cases, I found that emotional dynamics are crucial in the process of forming collective identities and in the process of motivating the involved subjects: specifically, the role of fear and terror is the primary factor, and represents the principal focus of my research.
Doxorubicina coniugata alla albumina umana lattosaminata: azione antineoplastica sui carcinomi epatocellulari indotti nel ratto dalla dietilnitrosammina

description: The experiments described in the thesis for my PhD were addressed to the study of the anticancer activity of a conjugate of doxorubicin (DOXO) with lactosaminated human albumin (L-HSA) on hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) induced in rats by diethylnitrosamine. L-HSA is a neoglycoprotein exposing galactosyl residues. The conjugate was prepared to improve the chemo therapeutic index of DOXO in the treatment of the well differentiated (WD) HCCs whose cells
mantain the receptor for galactosyl terminating glycoproteins and consequently can actively internalize L-HSA. In my first experiments I found that L-HSA coupled DOXO produced concentrations of DOXO higher than those raised by an equal dose of free drug, not only in WD HCCs, but also in the poorly differentiated forms (PD) of these tumors which do no express the receptor for galactosyl terminating glycoproteins. Subsequently I provided evidence that penetration of L-HSA-DOXO in PD HCCs was due to a non-specific adsorption mediated by the DOXO residues of the conjugate which interact with the cell surface mainly because at physiological pH they are positively charged and bind to anionic phospholipids of the cell membrane. In subsequent experiments, by ultrasound technique, I studied the action of free and L-HSA coupled DOXO on the growth of rat HCCs. I found that L-HSA coupled DOXO hindered the development of new neoplastic nodules and inhibited the growth of the established tumors. In contrast, the free drug
neither inhibited the development of HCCs nor prevented the growth of the established tumors. Moreover, the free drug produced a severe loss of weight of rats, a sign of severe toxicity, which was not caused by the conjugate.
In conclusion assuming that the results obtained in rats can be applied to patients, the results of my thesis suggest that the conjugate by increasing the efficacy and tolerability of DOXO could improve the value of this drug in the treatment of human HCCs.
ENERGY, DIGITAL PRESERVATION, AND THE CLIMATE:  Proactively Planning for An Uncertain Future
Creators: name: Schaefer, Sibyl
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Abstract – Energy is the currency of life and the foundation for all digital preservation activities. It is energy, in the form of electricity, which allows us to write physical marks on various substrates and energy which allows us to read those marks. The industrial revolution, powered by coal and oil, supercharged our technology by greatly increasing the amount of energy available to us at only the cost of extraction. This surge of cheap energy into our civilization was what allowed us to advance our technology and develop computers and the digital realm.

As we move into the middle of this century, energy will affect our ability to preserve digital materials in two critical ways. First, the age of cheap oil is coming to an end. As oil becomes more expensive to extract, less and less energy will be available. Second, the byproducts of burning fossil fuels such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen, create greenhouse gasses (GHGs) which have warmed our atmosphere and destabilized our climate. The more energy we use from fossil fuels, the more we create an inhospitable planet.

To proactively plan for the future ahead of us, the digital preservation community needs to become aware of the risks inherent in our critical dependency on energy and enact adaptation strategies to address those threats. Methodologies, like those presented in the Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty (DMDU) suite, provide a way of selecting strategies that are adaptive to multiple futures. While there’s no way of knowing what the future will bring, the current state of our climate guarantees that it will not be business as usual.
Studying SMBH – Galaxy Coevolution in Mergers
Creators: name: Stemo, Aaron
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Galaxy mergers are key events in the process of galaxy evolution. It is thought that merger events drive gas and dust towards the centers of merging galaxies. This should lead to increased star formation and SMBH growth. This common growth mechanism may explain known correlations between SMBH and host galaxy properties, such as the M-sigma relation. Statistical studies of merging AGN host systems has been limited due to the small number of known systems, with most being serendipitous discoveries. Here, we present a large catalog (N~200) of uniformly-selected merging AGN host galaxy candidates at redshifts from 0.2 to 2.5 and observed by HST in the AEGIS, GOODS + GEMS, and COSMOS fields. These candidates are parametrically fit by GALFIT, providing merger ratio and SMBH pair separation estimates for our sample. While multiwavelength photometric data along with SED template fitting tools provide AGN bolometric luminosity and host galaxy star formation rate and stellar mass values for our candidates. These data allow us to answer open questions regarding SMBH growth and galaxy evolution during mergers, to include: whether the most luminous AGN are preferentially triggered in mergers and whether AGN activity increases as SMBH pair separation decreases.

description: The SimPEG project was started in 2013 with the aim of being a flexible toolbox for researchers working with numerical simulations and inversions. Since then, there has been substantial growth in the Python and Jupyter ecosystems for scientific computing. The Pangeo project has been a driving force for the development and improvement of packages for handling large multidimensional datasets (Xarray) and performing parallel computation (Dask) on cloud resources and HPC centers. Technologies in the Jupyter ecosystem have continued to advance as well -- for example, the extension framework in JupyterLab allows for custom components such as rich visualizations to be combined with computation. In this presentation, we will provide an update on recent advances in natural source electromagnetic methods in SimPEG that benefit from and build upon developments in the open-source Python and Jupyter ecosystems.
Semantic Service Architectures for Smart Environments

Subjects: ING-INF/05 Sistemi di elaborazione delle informazioni

description: Many industries and academic institutions share the vision that an appropriate use  of information originated from the environment may add value to services in multiple domains  and may help humans  in  dealing with the growing  information overload which often seems to jeopardize our life.
It is also clear that information sharing and mutual understanding between software agents may impact complex processes where many actors  (humans and machines) are involved,  leading to relevant socioeconomic benefits.
Starting from these two input, architectural and technological solutions to enable “environment-related cooperative digital services” are here explored. 
The proposed analysis starts from the consideration that our environment is physical space and here diversity is a major value. On the other side diversity is detrimental to common technological solutions, and it is an obstacle to mutual understanding. An appropriate environment abstraction and a shared information model are needed to provide the required levels of interoperability in our heterogeneous habitat.
This thesis reviews several approaches  to support environment related applications and intends to demonstrate that smart-space-based, ontology-driven, information-sharing platforms may become a flexible and powerful solution to support  interoperable services in virtually any domain and even in cross-domain scenarios.  It also shows that semantic technologies can be fruitfully applied not only to represent application domain knowledge. For example semantic modeling of Human-Computer Interaction may support interaction interoperability and transformation of interaction primitives into actions, and the thesis shows how smart-space-based platforms driven by an interaction ontology may enable natural ad flexible ways of accessing resources and services, e.g, with gestures. An ontology for computational flow execution has also  been built to represent abstract computation, with the goal of exploring new ways of scheduling computation flows with smart-space-based semantic platforms.

description: Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are presently attracting broad interest as a novel platform for nanoscale sensing and quantum information processing. Unfortunately, their atomic structures remain largely elusive and only a small percentage of the emitters studied thus far has the properties required to serve as optically addressable spin qubits. Here, we use confocal fluorescence microscopy at variable temperature to study a new class of point defects produced via cerium ion implantation in thin hBN flakes. We find that, to a significant fraction, emitters show bright room-temperature emission, and good optical stability suggesting the formation of Ce-based point defects. Using density functional theory (DFT) we calculate the emission properties of candidate emitters, and single out the CeVB center - formed by an interlayer Ce atom adjacent to a boron vacancy - as one possible microscopic model. Our results suggest an intriguing route to defect engineering that simultaneously exploits the singular properties of rare-earth ions and the versatility of two-dimensional material hosts.

description: Efficiently exploiting servers in data centers requires performance analysis methods that account not only for the stochastic nature of demand but also for server heterogeneity. Although several recent works proved optimality results for heterogeneity-aware variants of classical load-balancing algorithms in the many-server regime, we still lack a fundamental understanding of the impact of heterogeneity on performance in finite-size systems. In this paper, we consider a load-balancing algorithm that leads to a product-form queueing model and can therefore be analyzed exactly even when the number of servers is finite. We develop new analytical methods that exploit its product-form stationary distribution to understand the joint impact of the speeds and buffer lengths of servers on performance. These analytical results are supported and complemented by numerical evaluations that cover a large variety of scenarios.

description: Direct detection and characterization of Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars is a core task for evaluating the prevalence of habitability and life in the Universe. Here, we discuss a promising option for achieving this goal, which is based on placing an occulter in orbit and having it project its shadow onto the E- ELT at the surface of Earth, thus providing a sufficient contrast for imaging and taking spectra of Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars. Doing so at a sensible fuel budget will require tailored orbits, an occulter with a high area-to-mass ratio, and appropriate instrumentation at the E-ELT. In this White Paper, submitted in response to the ESA Voyage 2050 Call, we outline the fundamental aspects of the concept, and the most important technical developments that will be required to develop a full mission.

Trascriptome analysis and functional genomics of Neisseria meningitidis in human blood

Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna

Subjects: BIO/11 Biologia molecolare

description: Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) is the major cause of septicemia and meningococcal meningitis. During the course of infection, it must adapt to different host environments as a crucial factor for survival. Despite the severity of meningococcal sepsis, little is known about how Nm adapts to permit survival and growth in human blood.
A previous time-course transcriptome analysis, using an ex vivo model of human whole blood infection, showed that Nm alters the expression of nearly 30% of ORFs of the genome: major dynamic changes were observed in the expression of transcriptional regulators, transport and binding proteins, energy metabolism, and surface-exposed virulence factors. Starting from these data, mutagenesis studies of a subset of up-regulated genes were performed and the mutants were tested for the ability to survive in human whole blood; Nm mutant strains lacking the genes encoding NMB1483, NalP, Mip, NspA, Fur, TbpB, and LctP were sensitive to killing by human blood.
Then, the analysis was extended to the whole Nm transcriptome in human blood, using a customized 60-mer oligonucleotide tiling microarray. The application of specifically developed software combined with this new tiling array allowed the identification of different types of regulated transcripts: small intergenic RNAs, antisense RNAs, 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions and operons. The expression of these RNA molecules was confirmed by 5’-3’RACE protocol and specific RT-PCR.
Here we describe the complete transcriptome of Nm during incubation in human blood; we were able to identify new proteins important for survival in human blood and also to identify additional roles of previously known virulence factors in aiding survival in blood.
In addition the tiling array analysis demonstrated that Nm expresses a set of new transcripts, not previously identified, and suggests the presence of a circuit of regulatory RNA elements used by Nm to adapt to proliferate in human blood.

description: The radio communication system is one of the most critical system of the overall satellite platform: it often represents the only way of communication, between a spacecraft and the Ground Segment or among a constellation of satellites.
This thesis focuses on specific innovative architectures for on-board and on-ground radio systems. In particular, this work is an integral part of a space program started in 2004 at the University of Bologna, Forlì campus, which led to the completion of the microsatellite ALMASat-1, successfully launched on-board the VEGA maiden flight. The success of this program led to the development of a second microsatellite, named ALMASat-EO, a three-axis stabilized microsatellite able to capture images of the Earth surface. Therefore, the first objective of this study was focused on the investigation of an innovative, efficient and low cost architecture for on-board radio communication systems. The TT&C system and the high data rate transmitter for images downlink design and realization are thoroughly described in this work, together with the development of the embedded hardware and the adopted antenna systems. Moreover, considering the increasing interest in the development of constellations of microsatellite, in particular those flying in close formations, a careful analysis has been carried out for the development of innovative communication protocols for inter-satellite links.
Furthermore, in order to investigate the system aspects of space communications, a study has been carried out at ESOC having as objective the design, implementation and test of two experimental devices for the enhancement of the ESA GS. Thus, a significant portion of this thesis is dedicated to the description of the results of a method for improving the phase stability of GS radio frequency equipments by means of real-time phase compensation and a new way to perform two antennas arraying tracking using already existing ESA tracking stations facilities.

Analisi sperimentale dell'influenza dei parametri di processo sulla resistenza di contatto tra polimero e stampo durante la formatura

description: Con gli strumenti informatici disponibili oggi per le industrie, in particolar modo coi software CAE, le possibile simulare in maniera più che soddisfacente i fenomeni fisici presenti in natura. Anche il raffreddamento di un manufatto in polimero può venire simulato, a patto che si conoscano tutti i dati dei materiali e delle condizioni al contorno. Per quanto riguarda i dati dei materiali, i produttori di polimeri sono molto spesso in grado di fornirli, mentre le condizioni al contorno devono essere padroneggiate dal detentore della tecnologia. Nella pratica, tale conoscenza è al più incompleta, quindi si fanno ipotesi per colmare le lacune. Una tra le ipotesi più forti fatte è quella di una perfetta conduzione all'interfaccia tra due corpi. Questo è un vincolo troppo forte, se paragonato alla precisione di tutti gli altri dati necessari alla simulazione, e quindi si è deciso di eseguire una campagna sperimentale per stimare la resistenza al passaggio flusso termico all'interfaccia polimero-stampo ovvero determinare la conduttanza termica di contatto. L'attività svolta in questa tesi di dottorato ha come scopo quello di fornire un contributo significativo allo sviluppo e al miglioramento dell'efficienza termica degli stampi di formatura dei polimeri termoplastici con tecnologia a compressione.
description: Today's computational resources allow a more than satisfactory simulation of most industrial processes, including closure manufacturing. The cooling and cristalization step of the manufacturing process may be simulated, provided all polymer data, process parameters and boundary conditions are known. As to the latter two issues, it is the manufacturer's task to gain the necessary information, but this knowledge is in practice lacking at best, which makes assumptions compulsory. One of the strongest assumptions is that of perfect thermal contact at the interface between mold and polymer, too limiting a hypothesis if compared to the precision with which other conditions and parameters are known. To fill this gap an experimental campaign was devised, starting from scratch, to determine by means of inverse thermal analysis the value of the thermal contact conductance in the case of two families of polymeric materials and its dependence on the main process parameters at play in compression molding. The results, both qualitative and quantitative highlighted which aspects may be discarded and which play a fundamental role in the cooling process.

description: The perspective of the present project can be inscribed in the so-called “Social Cognition” framework, that in the last years moved from a focus on the individual mind toward embodied and participatory aspects of social understanding. Among the topics relevant for social cognition, the aim of the thesis was to shed more light on motor resonance and joint action, by using two well-known effects of cognitive psychology: “Affordance” and “Simon”.
In the first part of the project, the Affordance effect has been considered, starting from Gibson to some post-Gibsonian theorizations. Particular attention has received the notion of “Micro-affordance”. The theoretical and empirical overview allows to understand how it can be possible to use the affordance effect to investigate the issue of motor resonance. A first study employed a priming paradigm and explored both in adults and school-age children the influence of a micro-affordance that can be defined dangerousness, and how motor resonance develops.
The second part of the thesis focused on the Simon effect, starting with the presentation of the “stimulus–response (S–R) compatibility effect” to introduce the “Simon effect”. Particular attention has been dedicated to recent studies on the “joint Simon effect”. The reviewed empirical findings have been discussed in a wider theoretical perspective on joint action. The second study was aimed at investigating whether shared representations, as indexed by the presence of the joint Simon effect, are modulated by minimal ingroup–outgroup distinctions and by experienced interdependence between participants. The third study explored to what extent prior experience could modulate performance in task sharing, combining two paradigms of cognitive psychology, the joint Simon and the joint transfer-of-learning.
In a general discussion the results obtained in the three studies have been summarized, emphasizing their original contribution and their importance within the Social Cognition research.

description: In this paper, we present a collection of results focussing on the transport properties of doped direct-gap inverted-band highly polar III-nitride semiconductors (GaN, AlN, InN) and GaAs in the transient and steady state, calculated by using nonlinear quantum kinetic theory based on a non-equilibrium statistical ensemble formalism (NESEF). In the present paper, these results are compared with calculations usingMonteCarlo modelling simulations and experimental measurements. Both n-type and p-type materials, in the presence of intermediate to high electric fields, are considered for several temperatures and carrier concentrations.The agreement between the results obtained using nonlinear quantum kinetic theory, with those ofMonte Carlo calculations and experimental data is remarkably good, thus satisfactorily validating the NESEF.

X-rays from the Eclipsing Millisecond Pulsar PSR J1740-5340 in the Globular Cluster NGC 6397

description: The millisecond pulsar PSR J1740-5340 in the globular cluster NGC 6397 shows radio eclipses over ~40% of its binary orbit. A first Chandra observation revealed indications for the X-ray flux being orbit dependent as well. In this work we analysed five data sets of archival Chandra data taken between 2000 and 2007 in order to investigate the emission across the pulsar's binary orbit. Utilizing archival Chandra observations of PSR J1740-5340, we have performed a systematic timing and spectral analysis of this binary system. Using a chi-square-test the significance for intra-binary orbital modulation is found to be between 88.5% and 99.6%, depending on the number of phase bins used to construct the light curve. Applying the unbiased statistical Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test did not indicate any significant intra-binary orbital modulation, though. However, comparing the counting rates observed at different epochs a flux variability on times scales of days to years is indicated. The possible origin of the X-ray emission is discussed in a number of different scenarios.

description: The asymptotics of the Kohn-Sham (KS) exact exchange potential $V_x(z)$ of a jelliumlike semi-infinite metal is investigated, in the framework of the optimized-effective-potential formalism of density-functional theory. Our numerical calculations clearly show that deep into the vacuum side of the surface $V_x(z) \propto e^2 \ln(az) / z$, with $a$ being a system-dependent constant, thus confirming the analytical calculations reported in Phys. Rev. B {\bf 81}, 121106(R) (2010). A criticism of this work published in Phys. Rev. B {\bf 85}, 115124 (2012) is shown to be incorrect. Our rigorous exchange-only results provide strong constraints both for the building of approximate exchange functionals and for the determination of the still unknown KS correlation potential.

description: We prove a Lagrangian analogue of the Conley conjecture: given a 1-periodic Tonelli Lagrangian with global flow on a closed configuration space, the associated Euler-Lagrange system has infinitely many periodic solutions. More precisely, we show that there exist infinitely many contractible integer periodic solutions with a priori bounded mean action and either infinitely many of them are 1-periodic or they have unbounded period.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an orthogonal basis of gauge invariant operators constructed from some complex matrices for the free matrix field, where operators are expressed with the help of Brauer algebra. This is a generalisation of our previous work for a signle complex matrix. We also discuss the matrix quantum mechanics relevant to N=4 SYM on S^{3} times R. A commuting set of conserved operators whose eigenstates are given by the orthogonal basis is shown by using enhanced symmetries at zero coupling.

Black Hole Zeroth Law in Horndeski Gravity

description: The four laws of black hole mechanics have been put forward for a long time. However, the zeroth law, which states that the surface gravity of a stationary black hole is a constant on the event horizon, still lacks universal proof in various modified gravitational theories. In this paper, we study the zeroth law {in a special Horndeski gravity}, which is an interesting gravitational theory with a nonminimally coupled scalar field. After assuming that {the nonminimally coupled scalar field has the same symmetries with the spacetime,} the minimally coupled matter fields satisfy the dominant energy condition and the Horndeski gravity has a smooth limit to Einstein gravity when the coupling constant approaches zero, we prove the zeroth law based on the gravitational equation in Horndeski gravity without any assumption to the spacetime symmetries.

Evidence for a new boson in the search for the Standard Model Higgs particle decaying to four leptons at CMS
Creators: name: Meneghelli, Marco <1985>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2013
Subjects: FIS/01 Fisica sperimentale

description: One of the main targets of the CMS experiment is to search for the Standard Model Higgs boson. The 4-lepton channel (from the Higgs decay h->ZZ->4l, l = e,mu) is one of the most promising. The analysis is based on the identification of two opposite-sign, same-flavor lepton pairs: leptons are required to be isolated and to come from the same primary vertex. The Higgs would be statistically revealed by the presence of a resonance peak in the 4-lepton invariant mass distribution.
The 4-lepton analysis at CMS is presented, spanning on its most important aspects: lepton identification, variables of isolation, impact parameter, kinematics, event selection, background control and statistical analysis of results.
The search leads to an evidence for a signal presence with a statistical significance of more than four standard deviations. The excess of data, with respect to the background-only predictions, indicates the presence of a new boson, with a mass of about 126 GeV/c2 , decaying to two Z bosons, whose characteristics are compatible with the SM Higgs ones.
On the practical application of negentropic polarization of thermodynamically equilibrium photon gas

description: In the course of the analysis of the axiomatic principles underlying statistical physics, the assumption about the limited correctness of the postulate of equiprobability of all available microstates of a closed system was tested. Earlier, the result of simulation modeling of the most probable stationary state of a stochastic isolated system, inside which isotropic monochrome radiation spontaneously acquired anisotropic polarization, was obtained (later the presence of such an effect was confirmed by a natural experiment). This article considers an already practically significant variant of suchlike a system. The conditions for the appearance of polarization anisotropy in a thermodynamically equilibrium medium initially filled with isotropic Planck radiation are predicted. Important consistent pattern of the applied mathematical model are noted.
