description: We introduce the concept of 'dynamical phase coexistence' to provide a simple solution for a long-standing problem in theoretical ecology, the so-called "savanna problem". The challenge is to understand why in savanna ecosystems trees and grasses coexist in a robust way with large spatio-temporal variability. We propose a simple model, a variant of the Contact Process (CP), which includes two key extra features: varying external (environmental/rainfall) conditions and tree age. The system fluctuates locally between a woodland and a grassland phase, corresponding to the active and absorbing phases of the underlying pure contact process. This leads to a highly variable stable phase characterized by patches of the woodland and grassland phases coexisting dynamically. We show that the mean time to tree extinction under this model increases as a power-law of system size and can be of the order of 10,000,000 years in even moderately sized savannas. Finally, we demonstrate that while local interactions among trees may influence tree spatial distribution and the order of the transition between woodland and grassland phases, they do not affect dynamical coexistence. We expect dynamical coexistence to be relevant in other contexts in physics, biology or the social sciences.

description: Prima di affrontare il tema dei giudici e dei pubblici ministeri nel sistema giudiziario della Repubblica Federale tedesca occorrerà fare una premessa di carattere terminologico in relazione al sistema giudiziario italiano: mi riferisco alla particolarità per cui in Italia, sia giudici sia pubblici ministeri, hanno la qualifica di “magistrati”; in Germania non esiste tale termine, e, quando si parla di giudici e di pubblici ministeri, si utilizzano, appunto, due concetti tra loro distinti, e ciò anche sul piano normativo. A nessuno verrebbe in mente di sussumere giudici e pubblici ministeri sotto lo stesso termine e qualificarli entrambi come “ordine autonomo”, ai sensi dell’art. 104 della Costituzione italiana. In Germania la netta separazione fra giudici e pubblici ministeri ha motivazioni di natura sia storica sia costituzionale. [Segue...]

description: Epitaxial GaAs quantum dots grown by droplet etching have recently shown excellent properties as sources of single photons as well as entangled photon pairs. Integration in some nanophotonic structures requires surface-to-dot distances of less than 100 nm. This demands a surface passivation scheme, which could be useful to lower the density of surface states. To address this issue, sulphur passivation with dielectric overlayer as an encapsulation is used for surface to QD distances of 40 nm, which results in the partial recovery of emission linewidths to bulk values as well as in the increase of the photoluminescence intensity.

Rinviate a giudizio, però, le stesse persone sono prosciolte dalla Corte d’assise anche perché il testimone più importante cambia completamente versione durante l’udienza. [Segue...]

description: We have investigated some of the properties of dense sub-nuclear matter at the crustal region (both the outer crust and the inner crust region) of a magnetar. The relativistic version of Thomas-Fermi (TF) model is used in presence of strong quantizing magnetic field for the outer crust matter. The compressed matter in the outer crust, which is a crystal of metallic iron, is replaced by a regular array of spherically symmetric Wigner-Seitz (WS) cells. In the inner crust region, a mixture of iron and heavier neutron rich nuclei along with electrons and free neutrons has been considered. Conventional Harrison-Wheeler (HW) and Bethe-Baym-Pethick (BBP) equation of states are used for the nuclear mass formula. A lot of significant changes in the characteristic properties of dense crustal matter, both at the outer crust and the inner crust, have been observed.

description: We report about investigations of time-dependent structural modifications in single crystal graphene due to laser irradiation even at moderate power levels of 1mW in a diffraction limited spot. The structural modifications have been characterized by in situ scanning confocal Raman spectroscopy, atomic force height microscopy and transport studies. The time evolution of the Raman spectrum reveals two different effects: on a short time scale, dopants, initially present on the flake, are removed. The longer time scale behavior points to a laser induced gradual local decomposition of single crystal graphene into a network of interconnected nano-crystallites with a characteristic length scale of approximately 10 nm due to bond-breaking. The broken bonds offer additional docking sites for adsorbates as confirmed in transport and AFM height studies. These controlled structural modifications may for instance be valuable for enhancing the local reactivity and trimming graphene based gas sensors.

description: We derive a generalized time-dependent Galilean-invariant density-functional (DF) equation appropriate to study the stationary and non-stationary properties of a trapped Fermi super-fluid in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) to Bose-Einstein condensation (BCS) crossover. This equation is equivalent to a quantum hydrodynamical equation for a Fermi super-fluid. The bulk chemical potential of this equation has the proper (model-independent) dependence on the Fermi-Fermi scattering length in the BCS and BEC limits. We apply this DF equation to the study of stationary density profile and size of a cigar-shaped Fermi super-fluid of $^6$Li atoms and the results are in good agreement with the experiment of Bartenstein {\it et al.} in the BCS-BEC crossover. We also apply the DF equation to the study of axial and radial breathing oscillation and our results for these frequencies are in good agreement with experiments in the BCS-BEC crossover.

description: We use the WMAP maximum entropy method foreground emission map combined with previously determined distances to giant HII regions to measure the free-free flux at Earth and the free-free luminosity of the galaxy. We find a total flux f_ν=54211 Jy and a flux from 88 sources of f_ν=36043 Jy. The bulk of the sources are at least marginally resolved, with mean radii ~60 pc, electron density n_e ~ 9 cm^{-3}, and filling factor ϕ_{HII}=0.005 (over the Galactic gas disk). The total dust-corrected ionizing photon luminosity is Q=3.2x10^{53} photons/s, in good agreement with previous estimates. We use GLIMPSE and MSX 8 micron images to show that the bulk of the free-free luminosity is associated with bubbles having radii r~5-100 pc, with a mean ~20 pc. These bubbles are leaky, so that ionizing photons from inside the bubble excite free-free emission beyond the bubble walls, producing WMAP sources that are larger than the 8 micron bubbles. We suggest that the WMAP sources are the counterparts of the extended low density HII regions described by Mezger (1978). Half the ionizing luminosity from the sources is emitted by the nine most luminous objects, while the seventeen most luminous emit half the total Galactic ionizing flux. These 17 sources have 4x10^{51} < Q <1.6x10^{52}, corresponding to 6x10^4M_\odot < M_*< 2x10^5M_\odot; half to two thirds of this will be in the central massive star cluster. We convert the measurement of Q to a Galactic star formation rate dM/dt=1.3M_\odot/yr, but point out that this is highly dependent on the exponent Γ~1.35 of the high mass end of the stellar initial mass function.

description: Contextualized word embeddings have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in various natural language processing tasks including those that concern historical semantic change. However, language models such as BERT was trained primarily on contemporary corpus data. To investigate whether training on historical corpus data improves diachronic semantic analysis, we present a pre-trained BERT-based language model, HistBERT, trained on the balanced Corpus of Historical American English. We examine the effectiveness of our approach by comparing the performance of the original BERT and that of HistBERT, and we report promising results in word similarity and semantic shift analysis. Our work suggests that the effectiveness of contextual embeddings in diachronic semantic analysis is dependent on the temporal profile of the input text and care should be taken in applying this methodology to study historical semantic change.
FROM MICRO BEHAVIORS TO MACRO EFFECTS - AGENT BASED MODELING OF ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS SPREAD AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE CONSUMPTION OF A LIMITED RESOURCE
Creators: name: SISSA, GIOVANNA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: This research starts from an overview of the many aspects that link ICT - and related activities - to the environment, with particular reference to software development. We introduce an interdisciplinary framework to delineate boundaries, overlaps, and relations between different areas of science that underlie the interactions outlined. We then identified some conceptual tools that allow us to introduce the key concept of the research, namely environmental awareness and the mechanisms of its spread. The concepts that are derived from this interdisciplinary and intersectorial excursus are mainly those of social influence in the spread of ideas, the formation of social norms, agent based modeling, the emergence of collective phenomena from individual behavior, and of the socio-technical systems. The methodological approach followed here is based on the observation that while most people generally agree that environmental sustainability is a general objective worth achieving, at the specific level the consumption of finite resources is not sustainable. This leads to the conclusion that any behavioral change towards sustainability must be based on environmental awareness at the individual, collective, and institutional level. The research objectives consisted in identifying the underlying mechanisms of human behaviours in limited resource consumption, in order to define a conceptual model able not only to describe them but also to analyze if and when scenarios of sustainable behavior may be emerging. The operating result is an agent-based model (ABM) that simulates how environmental awareness spreads in a system whose unsustainable consumption should be reduced and how both social influence and empowering technology play a role in determining social norms of sustainability. The examples given relate mainly to the use of energy, but the conceptual model is not limited to that resource. SAM4SN (Spread of Awareness Model for Social Norm) is an ABM that may allow other researchers to conduct experiments in socio-technical innovation for environmental goals and to understand the responsibilities and consequences of human behavior on environmental sustainability in various institutions, including informal ones. One of the main findings of the research is the ability of the model to provide some monitoring indicators able to foresee if the system will achieve the goal of reducing the limited resource, i.e. if it will reach sustainability. Such indicators, with the SAM4SN model, can be usefull tools in energy policy making.

description: The full counting statistics of a molecular level weakly interacting with a local phonon mode is derived. We find an analytic formula that gives the behavior of arbitrary irreducible moments of the distribution upon phonon excitation. The underlying competition between quasi-elastic and inelastic processes results in the formation of domains in parameter space characterized by a given sign in the jump of the irreducible moments. In the limit of perfect transmission, the corresponding distribution is distorted from Gaussian statistics for electrons to Poissonian transfer of holes above the inelastic threshold.

description: We investigate the behavior of a mesoscopic one-dimensional ring in an external magnetic field by simulating the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations with periodic boundary conditions. We analyze the stability and the different possible evolutions for the phase slip phenomena starting from a metastable state. We find a stability condition relating the winding number of the initial solution and the number of flux quanta penetrating the ring. The analysis of multiple phase slips solutions is based on analytical results and simulations. The role of the ratio of two characteristic times u is studied for the case of a multiple phase slips transition. We found out that if u>>1, consecutive multiple phase slips will be more favorable than simultaneous ones. If u<<1 the opposite is true and we confirm that u>>1 is often a necessary condition to reach the ground state. The influence of the Langevin noise on the kinetics of the phase transition is discussed.

description: Hypothesis: We test whether the wettability of nanoparticles (NPs) straddling at an air/water surface or oil/water interface can be extrapolated from sessile drop-derived macroscopic contact angles (mCAs) on planar substrates, assuming that both the nanoparticles and the macroscopic substrates are chemically equivalent and feature the same electrokinetic potential. Experiments: Pure silica (SiO2) and amino-terminated silica (APTES-SiO2) NPs are compared to macroscopic surfaces with extremely low roughness (root mean square [RMS] roughness <= 2 nm) or a roughness determined by a close-packed layer of NPs (RMS roughness about 35 nm). Equivalence of the surface chemistry is assessed by comparing the electrokinetic potentials of the NPs via electrophoretic light scattering and of the macroscopic substrates via streaming current analysis. The wettability of the macroscopic substrates is obtained from advancing (ACAs) and receding contact angles (RCAs) and in situ synchrotron X-ray reflectivity (XRR) provided by the NP wettability at the liquid interfaces. Findings: Generally, the RCA on smooth surfaces provides a good estimate of NP wetting properties. However, mCAs alone cannot predict adsorption barriers that prevent NP segregation to the interface, as is the case with the pure SiO2 nanoparticles. This strategy greatly facilitates assessing the wetting properties of NPs for applications such as emulsion formulation, flotation, or water remediation.

RIGHT(S) OPPORTUNITIES. THE CASE OF OVERSEAS NURSES AND RE-QUALIFIED HEALTH AUXILIARY PROFESSIONALS IN MILAN
Creators: name: QUARTARARO, CRISTINA INCORONATA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2019

description: The topic of this research, in the light of feminization and differentiation emerging as features in contemporary migrations (Castles and Miller 2009; Anthias and Lazaridis 2000), is an effort to expand the field of analysis in migration studies, by including women as ?skilled? workers. Drawing on the Capability Approach (CA) (Sen 1992), this thesis will investigate skilled and semi-skilled transnational waged care workers. The study focuses on female migrant workers? capabilities and the ?social opportunities? available to them. Social opportunities are looked into by trying to link agency-structure dynamics and comparing two different selected scenarios of ?recognition? in the Italian post-migratory context. Two paths are addressed: i. recognition ex ante ? from abroad; and ii. recognition - ex post after a process of re-qualification in Italy, in loco. In particular, the case of overseas nurses will be investigated for the former scenario and the case of health professionals and semi-professional auxiliary health workers for the latter. The selection fell on those workers whose qualifications correspond, at least formally , to their achieved occupational condition. The object of this investigation is the ?available social opportunities?, focusing on the factors and actors that enable and/or hinder these women?s capabilities of gaining a ?suitable employability? status. Two pathways of recognition are considered, analysing female Peruvian and Romanian workers, currently employed in waged care work in Milan and its surroundings, with a status of potentially permanent residency. The available mobilities and related membership statuses seem to be highly interconnected with the occupational functioning achieved by these women. The findings show tendencies of polarization, segmentation and stratification. ?Civic stratification?, as intended by Morris (2002), will provide a useful framework to critically understand how, in these processes, the freedoms of choice are structured along varying axes of differentiation and recognition.

description: Recessive mutations in Cul4 locus was described as causing low tillering phenotype in barley. The locus was previously mapped to 0.22 cM genetic interval and Candidate Gene (CG) was proposed. In this study, we mapped the locus into 0.09 cM interval and proved the correspondence between the CG and cul4 phenotype by showing the recombination between CG and adjacent annotated genes. Also, we isolated three independent mutant alleles for Cul4 in the available mutant stocks, and we showed their correlation to cul4 phenotype. Detailed phenotyping of cul4 mutant lines revealed various effects on plant vegetative, reproductive, and developmental parameters. The Cul4 gene was identified as encoding BTB/ANK domain protein highly related to Arabidopsis BOP1 and BOP2 genes. To assess the role of Cul4/BOP-like genes in other plant species, protein sequences similar to Cul4 were used to carry out phylogenetic analysis. Cul4/BOP-like proteins appear to be organised in two main clades corresponding to monocot and dicot divergence. Two sub-clades exist within monocot clade, representing relatively ancient duplication after monocot and dicot separation; Cul4 orthologs and paralogs. Recent duplications appear within Cul4 monocot paralogs, as well as for Arabidopsis BOP1 and BOP2 proteins. Publicly available transcriptomics data for Cul4 rice ortholog support involvement in axillary meristem development, leaf morphogenesis, and floral organ development. Rice mutant lines carrying T-DNA inserts in Cul4-like genes were identified and initially characterised. Screening of mutagenized TILLMore barley collection identified 12 lines with significant defect in tillering. Further histological characterisation of 3 lines displaying the most severe low tillering phenotype, showed inhibition in tiller outgrowth rather than axillary bud formation. Initial steps in constructing mapping populations for selected mutant lines were performed by crossing them to different wild-type parents.

Machine learning for spectroscopic data analysis : challenges of limited labelled data
Creators: name: Dirks, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Extracting meaningful information from spectra, such as sample composition, proves to be challenging. Building prediction models with supervised learning requires labelled data which is often limited. To overcome the challenge of limited data, this thesis explores various strategies spanning the gamut from models reliant on domain knowledge to those primarily data-driven. Leveraging domain knowledge, an approximate, fully-differentiable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) simulator is developed and used in two models. In the first model, the simulator is fit to an observed spectrum. The resulting parameter values are mapped to element concentrations by regression modelling. In the second model, the simulator is embedded in an auto-encoder (AE) neural network. The AE learns the inverse function of the simulator while also adapting to the data when instrument or environment parameters are unavailable. An experiment comparing the AE to standard regression models found improved predictions for 11 elements. Another AE model is developed that uses more general domain knowledge about spectra, which applies to any type of spectrum containing peak-shaped structures. With this model, a statistically significant decrease in prediction error compared to state-of-the-art models was found for predicting tin concentration (with p < 0.00001) in the results of 10×10-fold cross-validation, and it was tied for best on 11 out of 32 elements. A benefit of both AE models is that they can utilize unlabelled data in semi-supervised learning to lower the requirements for ground truth data. Neural networks require extensive hyperparameter optimization (HPO) which depends on validation data to estimate performance accurately. HPO works poorly when the validation set score is noisy; noisy validation scores are typical of small datasets. Ensembling is used to lower the variance, resulting in a neural network configuration that performs as well as an expertly-chosen configuration. A final prediction model combines information from multiple spectrometers, which is particularly challenging for small datasets. Several sensor fusion methods are compared, including a parallel-input convolutional neural network (CNN). Results of 10-fold cross-validation found that high-level PLS-based methods were best, though neural network models were competitive.

description: Pulsed magnetic fields of up to 55T are used to investigate the transport properties of the topological insulator Bi_2Se_3 in the extreme quantum limit. For samples with a bulk carrier density of n = 2.9\times10^16cm^-3, the lowest Landau level of the bulk 3D Fermi surface is reached by a field of 4T. For fields well beyond this limit, Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations arising from quantization of the 2D surface state are observed, with the ν=1 Landau level attained by a field of 35T. These measurements reveal the presence of additional oscillations which occur at fields corresponding to simple rational fractions of the integer Landau indices.

description: In spite of the tremendous development of recommender system owing to the progressive capability of machine learning recently, the current recommender system is still vulnerable to the distribution shift of users and items in realistic scenarios, leading to the sharp decline of performance in testing environments. It is even more severe in many common applications where only the implicit feedback from sparse data is available. Hence, it is crucial to promote the performance stability of recommendation method in different environments. In this work, we first make a thorough analysis of implicit recommendation problem from the viewpoint of out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization. Then under the guidance of our theoretical analysis, we propose to incorporate the recommendation-specific DAG learner into a novel causal preference-based recommendation framework named CausPref, mainly consisting of causal learning of invariant user preference and anti-preference negative sampling to deal with implicit feedback. Extensive experimental results from real-world datasets clearly demonstrate that our approach surpasses the benchmark models significantly under types of out-of-distribution settings, and show its impressive interpretability.

INKT CELLS IN DISLIPIDEMIA.
Creators: name: BONDARENKO, SERGEY
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Natural killer T cells (NKT) are T lymphocytes with a reactivity directed against glycolipid antigens presented by MHC-like CD1d molecules expressed by antigen presenting cells (APC). A large proportion of these cells (invariant NKT cells (iNKT)) possess strong immunomodulatory properties which impose a profound impact on the development and course of chronic diseases. The main aim of this project was to characterize iNKT cells and CD4+ iNKT subset numerically and functionally in the context of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and in murine models of dyslipidemia. Additionally, using an in vitro PBMC proliferation essay in the presence of iNKT cell antigen (?-GalCer) and IL-2, we investigated how lipoproteins affect the ability of iNKT cells to proliferate following ?-GalCer stimulation. We report that FH patients exhibit a significantly decreased percentage of CD4 positive iNKT compared to age and sex matched controls (Control: 40.8% � 4.2% (�SEM), N=31; FH patients: 19.2% � 3.5% of total iNKT (�SEM); N=26; *P<0.01), while the total numbers of iNKT cells are similar between FH patients and control individuals. iNKT cell function measured as the ability of iNKT cells to proliferate in vitro upon ?-GalCer stimulation was decreased in FH patients (~ 2 fold). iNKT cells levels are decreased in the liver of LDLR -/-, ApoE-/- and ApoA-I-/- mice, but increased in the blood of LDLR -/- and ApoE-/- mice (compared to WT mice). Additionally we report that iNKT cells are enriched in cardiac lymph nodes. In vitro experiments showed that the absence of lipoproteins abrogated iNKT cell proliferation in PBMC proliferation essay in presence of ?-GalCer. Finally, our data indicate that HDL is the major lipoprotein class which supports ?-GalCer exposure to APCs and subsequent iNKT cell presentation under physiological conditions.

description: In this paper we address the problem of constructing a class of representations of Clifford algebras that can be named "alphabetic (re)presentations". The Clifford algebras generators are expressed as m-letter words written with a 3-character or a 4-character alphabet. We formulate the problem of the alphabetic presentations, deriving the main properties and some general results. At the end we briefly discuss the motivations of this work and outline some possible applications.
