PROBABILISTIC MODELLING IN FOOD SAFETY: A SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH FOR POLICY DECISIONS
Creators: name: CROTTA, MATTEO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: This thesis deals with use of qualitative and quantitative probabilistic models for the animal-derived food safety management. Four unrelated models are presented: three quantitative and one qualitative. Two of the quantitative models concern the risk posed by pathogens in raw milk, in the first study, a probabilistic approach for the inclusion of the variability and the uncertainty in the consumers? habits and the bacterial pathogenic potential is proposed while the second study, demonstrate how the overlook of the relationship between the storage time and temperature has led to overestimated results in raw milk-related models published so far and an equation to address the issue is provided. In the third study, quantitative modelling techniques are used to simulate the dynamics underlying the spread of Campylobacter in broiler flocks and quantify the potential effects that different on-farm mitigation strategies or management measures have on the microbial load in the intestine of infected birds at the end of the rearing period. In the qualitative study, a general approach for the estimation of the likelihoods of introduction of live parasites in aquaculture implants and the commercialization of infested product is outlined by using the example of Anisakids in farmed Atlantic salmon.
GENERATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NPC1-/- AND NPC2-/- ARPE19 AS NOVEL CELLULAR MODELS OF NIEMANN-PICK TYPE C AND THEIR APPLICATION IN A HIGH-CONTENT DRUG SCREENING
Creators: name: PASTORE, RAFFAELE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2019

description: Niemann-Pick type-C (NP-C) is a lysosomal lipid-storage disorder caused by autosomal-recessive mutations in either the NPC1 or NPC2 genes. Among the NPC cases, 95% results from dysfunction of NPC1, whereas 5% is due to malfunction of NPC2. These proteins mediate the transport of free cholesterol from the inner lumen to the limiting membrane of lysosomes. More specifically, the soluble protein NPC2 delivers free cholesterol directly to the transmembrane protein NPC1. Niemann-Pick-C is a neurovisceral disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration with affected cells accumulating cholesterol and sphingolipids. The mechanisms linking lipid-storage and onset of organ dysfunction are still unknown and a curative therapy is missing. A major limitation for in vitro studies is represented by the lack of appropriate NPC cellular models because NPC-fibroblasts and their derived-iPScs present high phenotypic variability and are difficult to work with. To overcome this problem, in this research cellular models of NPC-type-1 and NPC-type-2 were generated by knocking out either the NPC1 or NPC2 genes in ARPE19 cells using CRISPR/Cas9. NPC1-/- and NPC2-/- ARPE19 turned out to be good disease models thoroughly recapitulating the pathological features of NPC. Since both knockout cell lines showed accumulation of free cholesterol within LE/LY, the microscopy assay filipin-LAMP1 co-staining was used to monitor the effect of potential therapeutic compounds on the stored LE/LY free cholesterol. To this end, the NPC2-/- ARPE19 were employed in a high-content experiment to screen the 1200 FDA-approved drugs of the Prestwick library. As a result, three candidate drugs, desipramine, fendiline and thioproperazine were selected.

description: (Abridged) We recently found that the halo of the Milky Way contains a large reservoir of warm-hot gas that contains a large fraction of the missing baryons from the Galaxy. The average physical properties of this circumgalactic medium (CGM) are determined by combining average absorption and emission measurements along several extragalactic sightlines. However, there is a wide distribution of both, the halo emission measure and the \ovii column density, suggesting that the Galactic warm-hot gaseous halo is anisotropic. We present {\it Suzaku} observations of fields close to two sightlines along which we have precise \ovii absorption measurements with \chandran. The column densities along these two sightlines are similar within errors, but we find that the emission measures are different. Therefore the densities and pathlengths in the two directions must be different, providing a suggestive evidence that the warm-hot gas in the CGM of the Milky Way is not distributed uniformly. However, the formal errors on derived parameters are too large to make such a claim. The average density and pathlength of the two sightlines are similar to the global averages, so the halo mass is still huge, over 10 billion solar masses. With more such studies, we will be able to better characterize the CGM anisotropy and measure its mass more accurately. We also show that the Galactic disk makes insignificant contribution to the observed \ovii absorption; a similar conclusion was also reached independently about the emission measure. We further argue that any density inhomogeneity in the warm-hot gas, be it from clumping, from the disk, or from a non-constant density gradient, would strengthen our result in that the Galactic halo path-length and the mass would become larger than what we estimate here. As such, our results are conservative and robust.

description: Lyα line EWs provide important clues to the physical nature of high redshift LAEs. However, measuring the Lyα EW distribution of high-z narrowband selected LAEs can be hard because many sources do not have broadband photometry. We investigate the possible biases in measuring the intrinsic Lyα EW distribution for a LAE sample at z $\sim$ 4.5 in the Extended CDFS. Only weak Malmquist-type bias in both the intrinsic Lyα luminosity function and the Lyα EW distribution were found. However, the observed EW distribution is severely biased if one only considers LAEs with detections in the continuum. Taking the broadband non-detections into account requires fitting the distribution of the broadband-to-narrowband ratio, which then gives a larger EW distribution scale length. Assuming an exponential form of the intrinsic Lyα EW distribution dN/dEW = N exp(-EW/W$_0$), we obtain W$_0$ = 167+/-44Å (uncorrected for IGM absorption of Lyα). We discuss the likely range of IGM absorption effects in light of recent measurements of Lyα line profiles and velocity offsets. Our data are consistent with Lyα EW being independent of UV luminosity (i.e., we do not see evidence for the "Ando" effect). Our simulations also imply that broad-band images should be 0.5-1 magnitude deeper than narrowband images for an effective and reasonably complete LAE survey. Comparing with consistent measurements at other redshifts, we see a strong evolution in Lyα EW distribution with redshift which goes as a power-law form of W$_0$ $\prop$(1+z)$^$ξ, with ξ = 1.1$\pm$0.1 (0.6$\pm$0.1) if no IGM corrections are applied to the Lyα line; or ξ = 1.7$\pm$0.1 (1.2$\pm$0.1) after applying a maximal IGM-absorption correction to Lyα line) for an exponential (a gaussian) EW distribution from z = 0.3 to 6.5.

Accelerating expansion or inhomogeneity? A comparison of the $Λ$CDM and Lema\^ıtre - Tolman models

description: It is shown how certain observations interpreted in the background of the Friedmann model with $Λ< 0 = k$ (the $Λ$CDM model) can be re-interpreted using the $Λ= 0$ Lema\^ıtre - Tolman (L-T) model so as to do away with the "dark energy". The purpose of the paper is to clarify the underlying geometrical relations by doing the calculations as much as possible analytically or by very simple numerical programs. In the first part of the paper (fictitious) observations of the distribution of expansion velocity along the past light cone of the observer are considered. It is shown that the whole past light cone of the $Λ$CDM observer can be reproduced in the L-T model with $Λ= 0 = E$. This is a geometric exercise that has the advantage of being free of numerical complications. In the second part, the luminosity distance - redshift relation of the $Λ$CDM model is duplicated using the L-T model with $-k = 2E/r^2 =$ constant $> 0$. The value of $k$ and the function $t_B(r)$ are determined by the $Λ$CDM parameters. General properties of this L-T model are described. Difficulties of carrying the numerical calculations through the apparent horizon are presented in detail and mostly solved. The second model is a counterexample to the claim that an L-T model mimicking $Λ$CDM must contain a void around the center - it has a peak of density at $R = 0$.

The considered process is identified as special distorted Brownian motion $X$ in dimension one and is studied thoroughly. Besides strong uniqueness, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for non-explosion, recurrence and positive recurrence as well as for $X$ to be semimartingale and possible applications to advection-diffusion in layered media.

description: Decisions are based on information. Information is the result of an analytical process or system that uses data as an input. Land use information systems require data of three basic types: land use, land capability, and landownership. Each of these types requires a classification system based on relevant characteristics to provide specifications for data and organize it for use in information systems. Geographic breakdown is also an important dimension of land use data. The traditional sources of land use data have been the Censuses of Agriculture and Population, the Forest Survey, the National Inventory of Soil and Water Conservation Needs (CNI), crop acreage reports of the Statistical Reporting Service, the major land use series of the Economic Research Service, and reports and records of the Bureau of Land Management, Park Service, Forest Service, and other governmental agencies that hold and manage land. The Land Inventory and Monitoring Program (LIM) of the Soil Conservation Service, the Land Use Data and Analysis Program (LUDA) of the U.S. Geological Survey, and other new and emerging sources of data are discussed.

Dynamic scaling at classical phase transitions approached through non-equilibrium quenching

description: We use Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate generic scaling aspects of classical phase transitions approached through a quench (or annealing) protocol where the temperature changes as a function of time with velocity $v$. Using a generalized Kibble-Zurek ansatz, we demonstrate dynamic scaling for different types of stochastic dynamics (Metropolis, Swendsen-Wang, and Wolff) on Ising models in two and higher dimensions. We show that there are dual scaling functions governing the dynamic scaling, which together describe the scaling behavior in the entire velocity range $v \in [0, \infty)$. These functions have asymptotics corresponding to the adiabatic and diabatic limit, and close to these limits they are perturbative in $v$ and $1/v$, respectively. Away from their perturbative domains, both functions cross over into the same universal power-law scaling form governed by the static and dynamic critical exponents (as well as an exponent characterizing the quench protocol). As a by-product of the scaling studies, we obtain high-precision estimates of the dynamic exponent $z$ for the two-dimensional Ising model subject to the three variants of Monte Carlo dynamics; for single-spin Metropolis updates $z_M=2.1767(5)$, for Swendsen-Wang multi-cluster updates $z_{\rm SW}=0.297(3)$, and for Wolff single-cluster updates $z_{W}=0.30(2)$. For Wolff dynamics, we find an interesting behavior with a non-analytic break-down of the quasi-adiabatic and diabatic scaling, instead of the generic smooth cross-over described by a power law. We interpret this disconnect between the two scaling regimes as a dynamic phase transition of the Wolff algorithm, caused by an effective sudden loss of ergodicity at high velocity.

description: A wide international community is interested in NAUTILOS targeted measurement, hence whenever possible, the developed data management infrastructure, tools and services should allow an easy data flow towards existing infrastructures and integrators globally accepted and used by the ocean observing community. To this end, the data management infrastructure should be designed to serve both internal project’ need and international scientific ocean science community and other stakeholders in the field. Data policy should be open and free and state-of-art and international standards and workflows for interoperability should be applied. NAUTILOS data management infrastructure will deliver data and information to a human accessible interface, i.e., an on-line web user interface that will provide features to discover, access, retrieve sensors and platforms data. This web interface would also represent the entry point for all the users (including citizen scientists) with an interest in validated environmental data collections. This document presents and describe the current design and implementation of the NAUTILOS data management infrastructure.

description: Electronic transport through chaotic quantum dots exhibits universal behaviour which can be understood through the semiclassical approximation. Within the approximation, transport moments reduce to codifying classical correlations between scattering trajectories. These can be represented as ribbon graphs and we develop an algorithmic combinatorial method to generate all such graphs with a given genus. This provides an expansion of the linear transport moments for systems both with and without time reversal symmetry. The computational implementation is then able to progress several orders higher than previous semiclassical formulae as well as those derived from an asymptotic expansion of random matrix results. The patterns observed also suggest a general form for the higher orders.

description: Two-way relaying networks (TWRNs) allow for more bandwidth efficient use of the available spectrum since they allow for simultaneous information exchange between two users with the assistance of an intermediate relay node. However, due to superposition of signals at the relay node, the received signal at the user terminals is affected by \emph{multiple impairments}, i.e., channel gains, timing offsets, and carrier frequency offsets, that need to be jointly estimated and compensated. This paper presents a training-based system model for amplify-and-forward (AF) TWRNs in the presence of multiple impairments and proposes maximum likelihood and differential evolution based algorithms for joint estimation of these impairments. The Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) for the joint estimation of multiple impairments are derived. A minimum mean-square error based receiver is then proposed to compensate the effect of multiple impairments and decode each user's signal. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed estimators is very close to the derived CRLBs at moderate-to-high signal-to-noise-ratios. It is also shown that the bit-error rate performance of the overall AF TWRN is close to a TWRN that is based on assumption of perfect knowledge of the synchronization parameters.

We show how angular observables in $B^-\to π^+π^-\ell^-\barν_\ell$ can be used to measure dipion form factors or to perform null tests of the Standard Model.

description: Jumping walls and crossing borders, particularly when it came to moving from East to West - from the communist bloc to the Western bloc - were considered at least until the 1980s as courageous acts of rebellion and liberation from dictatorships. The image of crowds violating the borders established after World War II, tearing down walls, or deciding to move en masse to the West, was portrayed in Western media as a sign of emancipation. In the 1990s, this process dramatically changes: masses on the move from dictatorships or poverty-stricken countries towards democratic and wealthy nations are seen as a serious threat to internal and international order. The perception of these masses as dangerous and illegal emerges rapidly throughout the 1990s and persists to this day. This chapter analyzes the process of "illegalization" of these images within the political construction of the Schengen space.

description: Decades of mounting scientific evidence have revealed that common raven (Corvus corax; raven) population numbers have been increasing across nearly all regions of their geographic range in North America. Concomitantly, numerous native wildlife species have experienced elevated predation rates from ravens as populations have increased and expanded their range. Managers are concerned that increased raven predation of many threatened and endangered avian species in the U.S. and Canada during nesting periods may be hampering species recovery. We explored the literature to aggregate existing knowledge and evaluate the impacts of raven predation on nests and young of sensitive avian species. We used this information to develop a simple relative index for each species, the “Raven Impact Index” (RII). The RII incorporated the species demographic rates, abundance of ravens in relation to each sensitive species’ breeding range, and the degree of overlap between raven and sensitive prey distributions. We also developed a second relative descriptor describing our confidence in each RII, termed a “Impact Credibility Index (ICI).” The species ICI was based on the number of published studies and the type of evidence presented (e.g., circumstantial vs. direct). We found evidence of nest predation on 8 sensitive avian species and suspected nest predation on 1 additional species. All species shared aspects of nesting biology that suggested they would likely be susceptible to raven nest predation. The RII varied among prey species, with greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) having the highest relative impact values, followed by snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus), marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus), and Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus). Our species RII is intended to inform management decisions regarding actions that mitigate the negative effects of raven predation of sensitive avian species. Although elevated nest predation may be of high conservation concern, it is important to recognize that all of the sensitive native prey species we established an RII for also face multiple conservation threats.

description: A significant proportion of cropland in the U.S. is annually allocated to uses not leading to harvests including cropland pasture. Not much is known about the interaction of those physical, economic, and institutional factors affecting decisions to establish and sustain cropland pasture, a seemingly lower use of available cropland. Using county data from the 1969 Agricultural Census weighted by farm numbers, preliminary analyses of the association between the incidence of cropland pasture in Kentucky and variables such as livestock numbers, type of farm, and land tenure were developed by multiple regression. These efforts are preliminary since analyses of Census data do not generate insights into the decision-making processes resulting in using a portion of available cropland as cropland pasture. These insights, however, are integral to estimating land use changes in response to changing economic and institutional conditions.

We wrap up with an adventurous proposal, which relates the spontaneous collapse events of objective collapse models to microscopic virtual black holes.

PMN: a minimal induced-moment soft pseudo-spin glass perspective

description: An argument that relaxor ferroelectricity in the isovalent alloy $\mathrm {Ba(Zr}_{1-x}\mathrm{Ti}_{x})\mathrm{O}_3$ can be understood as an induced moment soft pseudo-spin glass on the B-ions of the $\mathrm{ABO}_{3}$ matrix is extended to the experimentally paradigmic but theoretically more complex heterovalent relaxor $\mathrm {Pb(Mg}_{1/3}\mathrm{Nb}_{2/3}\mathrm{)O}_3$ (PMN). It is argued that interesting behaviour of the onset of non-ergodicity, frequency-dependent susceptibility peaks and precursor nanodomains can be understood from analagous considerations of the B-ions, with the displacements of the Pb ions a largely independent, but distracting, side-feature. This contrasts with conventional conceptualizations.

Clustering, Classification, Discriminant Analysis, and Dimension Reduction via Generalized Hyperbolic Mixtures

Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: Computation (stat.CO)

description: A method for dimension reduction with clustering, classification, or discriminant analysis is introduced. This mixture model-based approach is based on fitting generalized hyperbolic mixtures on a reduced subspace within the paradigm of model-based clustering, classification, or discriminant analysis. A reduced subspace of the data is derived by considering the extent to which group means and group covariances vary. The members of the subspace arise through linear combinations of the original data, and are ordered by importance via the associated eigenvalues. The observations can be projected onto the subspace, resulting in a set of variables that captures most of the clustering information available. The use of generalized hyperbolic mixtures gives a robust framework capable of dealing with skewed clusters. Although dimension reduction is increasingly in demand across many application areas, the authors are most familiar with biological applications and so two of the five real data examples are within that sphere. Simulated data are also used for illustration. The approach introduced herein can be considered the most general such approach available, and so we compare results to three special and limiting cases. Comparisons with several well established techniques illustrate its promising performance.

description: In the current time, social sustainability is directed by market turbulence and growing societal and environmental awareness among customers and employees. Manufacturing industries with multi-tier supply chains, especially in developing nations, such as India, are plagued with various social issues, as it employs large manpower. The present study attempts to identify the key social sustainability practices (SSP) and the method to evaluate SSP in multi-tier manufacturing firms. The approach was pilot tested in Indian manufacturing industry. A total of 16 SSP were identified through the process of literature survey and discussions with the domain experts. Furthermore, based on five practitioners’ inputs, the relationship between various practices of social sustainability is modelled using Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM). The vagueness in the model and identified relationships are compensated by experts’ (practitioners’) validation. The practices are classified on the basis of driving and dependence power by adopting the MICMAC analysis. Customer management, information sharing, corporate sustainability reporting and standardisation, and monitoring practices are found to be the most influential practices that drive social sustainability in multi-tier automotive chains. Production managers could adopt these SSP to establish supply chain social sustainability in multi-tier global supply chains and achieve strategic advantage over others.

description: Co-opetition is gaining increasing attention as a potentially useful form of inter-organisational collaboration model to improve firms’ sustainable performance. However, limited previous studies have provided a clear substantive theory or offered empirical evidence for the process of sustainability-driven co-opetition. This paper explores how competing companies can collaborate in their supply chains (SCs) to achieve a higher level of sustainability performance by identifying drivers, facilitators and barriers of co-opetition. Based on two explorative case studies of co-opetition in the UK, the findings of this paper lead to a number of propositions and a theoretical framework for sustainability-driven co-opetition in SCs. This study contributes to the literature by providing a more in-depth understanding of co-opetition as a strategic capability for firms. This paper also proves the feasibility of a combined use of Resource-Based View and Network Theory perspectives in explaining a paradoxical inter-organisational relationship like co-opetition. A road map for sustainability-driven co-opetition in SCs is also provided as a heuristic decision model for practitioners.

Labor Market Institutions and the Composition of Firm Compensation: Evidence from Brazilian Collective Bargaining
Creators: name: Lagos, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: collective bargaining

industrial relations

description: This paper studies the relation between the wage and amenity components of  firm compensation under collective bargaining. A posting model of wages and amenities where Nash bargaining between unions and employers determine firm-specific compensation bundles shows that unions can offset the markdowns incurred by workers in monopsonistic labor markets. Merging linked employer-employee data to the universe of collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) in Brazil, worker transitions across establishments and their wages are augmented by the workplace amenities codified in the text of CBAs. To estimate the value of these amenities, I decompose revealed preference measures of the value of employment at an establishment into corresponding wage premiums and CBA clauses. Dispersion across establishments in terms of compensation premiums increases once amenities are accounted for, i.e., variance increases by 4%. Evidence of compensating differentials is only found in low rent sectors, but are otherwise reversed|that is, there is a positive relation between wage and amenity premiums. Leveraging an unexpected shock to bargaining power that differentially impacted negotiating counterparts, I obtain causal effects on wage premiums, amenity premiums, and employment. This analysis reveals elasticities of labor supply with respect to compensation of 1.82, meaning that unions are in fact countering employer market power (with markdowns between 0.73 and 0.83). Assuming efficient bargaining, the estimates indicate that amenities account for 29% of compensation.
