Tornare sui propri passi. Presentazione di Napoli scontrosa di Davide Vargas (La nave di Teseo, Milano 2022)

subject: Naples

description: It is not easy to find architects who have a sincere visceral need for writing, who are able to speak more with written texts than with oral discourse, or who, while perfectly sketching, quickly drawing, or photographing, prefer as an analytical tool the written word, the beautiful narration of a place crossed by choice or by chance. The author of Napoli scontrosa certainly belongs to the rare type of architect/writer devoted to both disciplines. Then there are some cities that are more literary than others. Naples undoubtedly belongs to this category and, even within travel literature alone, this can easily be proven by the very long list of reports, stories, and diaries of foreign travellers, from the sixteenth century to the present, in which Naples has been included among the most visited cities in Italy, though being a southern city. But alongside the authors who have arrived in Naples from the outside, there are those who have travelled within Naples, where they were born or have chosen to live. Here too a very long list of titles could be drawn up. Napoli Scontrosa, authored by Davide Vargas and published a few months ago by La nave di Teseo, belongs to this second group of works. Read it as you wish, either by following the author's instructions or wandering among the pages, Napoli scontrosa reserves many (extra)ordinary surprises, both small and great, alongside many known facts. Above all, it brings architecture out of its specialist field. The book has the merit, in other words, of making architecture loveable even to those who are not architects but can discover it, retracing their steps in the city, through Vargas’ written word. Although the incipit of Napoli Scontrosa is a note on how the author has tackled this journey inside the city of many layers, what the reader keeps at the end is the extraordinary ability of Neapolitan architecture to always build an interior or a fixed scene of extreme interest for unexpected stories. The involuntary map that is generated re-creates the city as a labyrinthine palimpsest with no beginning and no end.

description: Oxide thin films exhibit versatile physical properties such as magnetism, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, metal-insulator transition (MIT), multiferroicity, colossal magnetoresistivity, switchable resistivity, etc. More importantly, the exhibited multifunctionality could be tuned by various external fields, which has enabled demonstration of novel electronic devices. In this article, recent studies of the multi-fields modulation of physical properties in oxide thin films have been reviewed. Some of the key issues and prospects about this field are also addressed.

An Analysis of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Football Enforcement Actions from 1990 to 2011
Creators: name: Fulton, Nicholas J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: This paper serves to update previous research conducted analyzing the cartel behavior of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). A cartel agreement in which the Association attempts to maximize profits for its members by regulating input prices and restricting output has evolved throughout the NCAA's existence. A cartel maintains its feasibility only when the expected costs of violating the cartel agreement remain greater than expected benefits of violation. Using data from 1950 to the 1980's, previous research found the NCAA relied upon observable variables like winning percentage variability to detect violations of cartel regulations. This results in a redistributive effect that has benefited consistent winners while placing teams who experience rapid increased achievement at a disadvantage. Drastic changes have occurred on the college sport landscape recently; this study provides a much needed update to previous research by contemporizing the data corresponding to previously studied variables.

EU Common Agricultural Policy

description: In 2012, the European Commission launched the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI) as a tool for ‘speeding up’ innovation in agriculture, forestry and related sectors across the European Union (EU) by means of collaboration and knowledge sharing between diverse actors. There is, however, ample evidence to show that the capacity to innovate varies widely across the EU, both between Member States and regions, as well as organisations, sectors, innovation partnerships and projects.
 A Common Framework for Multi-level Capacity Development (CF4CD) is required to address this ‘innovation gap’. In other words, it is necessary to develop the ‘functional capacities’ (i.e., ‘soft skills’ such as the ability to listen, reflect and learn) needed by diverse actors across the EU to utilise and co-ordinate technical capacities. The proposed CF4CD consists of five core elements, namely (1) a focus on development of the functional capacities necessary for the effective implementation of the EIP-AGRI (2) on three (micro-, meso- and macro-) levels (3) through five capacity development (CD) principles (4) by the adoption and adaptation of existing CD support mechanisms (5) based upon a self-assessment tool for functional capacity. The five CD principles are (1) enhance networking and collaboration, (2) work with diversity, (3) create space and ability to act, (4) foster reflection and learning, and (5) promote fair governance on multiple levels.
 This Policy Brief is addressed, in particular, to policy makers and programme managers at EU, national and regional levels, especially (but not only) those concerned with the implementation of the EIP-AGRI. As well as describing the CF4CD, this Policy Brief introduces the reader to several support mechanisms that are currently used by the European Commission in various domains for developing the capacity of relevant actors to implement EU policy and which have the potential to be adopted and adapted to the EIP-AGRI.
description: This Policy Brief has been developed by the two EU projects LIAISON and PREMIERE, which aim to contribute to capacity building for multi-actor co-creation in farming, forestry, and rural areas.
Quantum decay of the persistent current in a Josephson junction ring

description: We study the persistent current in a ring consisting of N >> 1 Josephson junctions threaded by the magnetic flux. When the dynamics of the ring is dominated by the capacitances of the superconducting islands the system is equivalent to the xy spin system in 1+1 dimensions at the effective temperature T*=(2JU)^(1/2), with J being the Josephson energy of the junction and U being the charging energy of the superconducting island. The numerical problem is challenging due to the absence of thermodynamic limit and slow dynamics of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. It is investigated on lattices containing up to one million sites. At T << J the quantum phase slips are frozen. The low-T* dependence of the persistent current computed numerically agrees quantitatively with the analytical formula provided by the spin-wave approximation. The high- T* behavior depends strongly on the magnetic flux and on the number of superconducting islands N. Depending on the flux, the persistent current gets destroyed by the phase slips and/or by the superconductor-insulator transition on increasing T*.

Abstract (German) Vorläufiger Titel: Forschung als Software Engineering - Lösung für alles? Finaler Titel: Tools für einen offenen und reproduzierbaren Forschungsprozess Unzureichende Reproduzierbarkeit, mangelnde Transparenz und ineffiziente Arbeitsabläufe - viele wissenschaftliche Disziplinen haben einen großen Innovationsbedarf. Zudem wird der Forschungsprozess immer digitaler, komputationaler und interaktiver. In meinem Vortrag argumentiere ich, dass technische Lösungen für diese Herausforderungen bereits vorhanden und in der professionellen Softwareentwicklung zu finden sind. Dazu zählen vor allem Tools für interaktive Versionskontrolle von Daten wie Git oder DataLad und Software-Container wie Docker. Ich diskutiere wie diese Tools wissenschaftliche Arbeitsabläufe transformieren und welche (vorranging nicht technischen) Hürden bei ihrer Implementierung bestehen.

description: Abstract: - The gut-brain axis represents a complex communication network between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, influencing various aspects of mental health. This review explores the physiological mechanisms underlying this interaction, focusing on neurotransmitter production, immune system interactions, and microbial metabolites. Evidence suggests that dysbiosis, or imbalances in gut microbiota, can significantly impact mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorders. Mechanisms of gut-brain signaling include the vagus nerve, gut-derived neurotransmitters, and the blood-brain barrier. This review also examines experimental models and clinical studies that highlight the therapeutic potential of modulating gut microbiota through probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary interventions. Despite promising findings, challenges such as variability in research results and methodological limitations persist. Future research directions include exploring personalized medicine approaches and advancing technologies to deepen our understanding of the gut-brain axis.

description: Understanding the genomic underpinnings of thermal adaptation is a hot topic in eco-evolutionary studies of parasites. Marine heteroxenous parasites have complex life cycles encompassing a free-living larval stage, an ectothermic intermediate host and a homeothermic definitive host, thus representing compelling systems for the study of thermal adaptation. The Antarctic anisakid Contracaecum osculatum sp. D is a marine parasite able to survive and thrive both at very cold and warm temperatures within the environment and its hosts. Here, a de novo transcriptome of C. osculatum sp. D was generated for the first time, by performing RNA-Seq experiments on a set of individuals exposed to temperatures experienced by the nematode during its life cycle.

description: Recent high-resolution, near-infrared images of protoplanetary disks have shown that these disks often present spiral features. Spiral arms are among the structures predicted decades ago by numerical simulations of disk-planet interaction and thus it is tempting to suspect that planetary perturbers are responsible for the observed signatures. However, such interpretation is not free of problems. The spirals are found to have large pitch angles, and in at least one case (HD 100546) the spiral feature appears effectively unpolarized, which implies thermal emission of the order of 1000K (465$\pm$40K at closer inspection). We have recently shown in two-dimensional models that shock dissipation in the supersonic wake of high-mass planets can lead to significant heating if the disk is sufficiently adiabatic. In this paper we extend this analysis to three dimensions in thermodynamically evolving disks. We use the Pencil Code in spherical coordinates for our models, with a prescription for thermal cooling based on the optical depth of the local vertical gas column. We use a 5$M_J$ planet, and show that shocks in the region around the planet where the Lindblad resonances occur heat the gas to substantially higher temperatures than the ambient disk gas at that radius. The gas is accelerated vertically away from the midplane by the shocks to form shock bores, and the gas falling back toward the midplane breaks up into a turbulent surf near the Lindblad resonances. This turbulence, although localized, has high $α$ values, reaching 0.05 in the inner Lindblad resonance, and 0.1 in the outer one. We also find evidence that the disk regions heated up by the planetary shocks eventually becomes superadiabatic, generating convection far from the planet's orbit.

description: During the 2020 US Presidential Election, allegations of election fraud plagued the news headlines and the political rhetoric. Even though these allegations have been addressed in both courts and numerous investigations, there remains a strong belief among American voters that widespread election fraud is a reality. What psychological constructs can help explain this? Are perceptions of election fraud embedded in an individual’s worldview and ideological attitudes? This research examines the relationship between right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), and perceptions of election fraud. In this first study, we explore the predictive ability of RWA and SDO on perceptions of election fraud and test the mediating relationship of perceived partisan outgroup threat and competitiveness.
Higher order analogues of unitarity condition for quantum R-matrices

description: We prove a family of $n$-th order identities for quantum $R$-matrices of Baxter-Belavin type in fundamental representation. The set of identities includes the unitarity condition as the simplest one ($n=2$). Our study is inspired by the fact that the third order identity provides commutativity of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard connections. On the other hand the same identity gives rise to $R$-matrix valued Lax pairs for the classical integrable systems of Calogero type. The latter construction uses interpretation of quantum $R$-matrix as matrix generalization of the Kronecker function. We present a proof of the higher order scalar identities for the Kronecker functions which is then naturally generalized to the $R$-matrix identities.

description: We consider a system consisting of a large individual quantum dot with excitonic resonance coupled to a single mode photonic cavity in the nonlinear regime when exciton- exciton interaction becomes important. We show that in the presence of time-modulated external coherent pumping the system demonstrates essentially non classical behavior reflected in sub-Poissonian statistics of exciton- and photon-modes and the Wigner functions with negative values in phase-space for time-intervals exceeding the characteristic time of dissipative processes, $t\ggγ^{-1}$. It is shown that these results are cardinally different from the analogous results in the regime of the monomode continues-wave (cw) excitation.

A Study of Late-Proterozoic Host Rocks, the Style of Mineralization and Alteration, and Their Timing at the Deep River Gold Prospect, Central North Carolina
Creators: name: Rapprecht, Rachel Mireille
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The Carolina terrane of the southern Appalachians hosts major gold deposits and historically producing mines. The deposits have been interpreted to be either structurally controlled or epithermal in origin. An improved understanding of the geologic setting, style of alteration, and mineralization can assist in developing exploration strategies. The Deep River gold prospect, central North Carolina, is hosted by volcanic, volcaniclastic and epiclastic rocks of the Virgilina sequence, which have been intruded by porphyritic, felsic and andesitic dikes, and mafic dikes. Soil anomalies and radiometric features show concentric patterns associated with centers of intense silica and propylitic alteration, haloed by phyllic alteration. U-Pb zircon geochronology gives ages between 547.00.7 and 550.61.1 Ma for a non-mineralized felsic dike, while molybdenum ages place the mineralization between 5322 and 5432 Ma. This study suggests that gold mineralization is most likely intrusion-related and represents a high-level gold porphyry system.
The Casimir effect at finite temperature in a six-dimensional vortex scenario

description: The Casimir effect for parallel plates satisfying the Dirichlet boundary condition in the context of effective QED coming from a six-dimensional Nielsen-Olesen vortex solution of the Abelian Higgs model with fermions coupled to gravity is studied at finite temperature. We find that the sign of the Casimir energy remains negative under the thermal influence. It is also shown that the Casimir force between plates will be weaker in the higher-temperature surroundings while keeps attractive. This Casimir effect involving the thermal influence is still inconsistent with the known experiments. We find that the thermal correction can not compensate or even reduce the modification from this kind of vortex model to make the Casimir force to be in less conflict with the measurements.

Partially magic labelings and the Antimagic Graph Conjecture
Creators: name: Beck, Matthias
name: Farahmand, Maryam
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The Antimagic Graph Conjecture asserts that every connected graph $G = (V, E)$ except $K_2$ admits an edge labeling such that each label $1, 2, \dots, |E|$ is used exactly once and the sums of the labels on all edges incident to a given vertex are distinct. On the other extreme, an edge labeling is magic if the sums of the labels on all edges incident to each vertex are the same. In this paper we approach antimagic labelings by introducing partially magic labelings, where "magic occurs'' just in a subset of $V$. We generalize Stanley's theorem about the magic graph labeling counting function to the associated counting function of partially magic labelings and prove that it is a quasi-polynomial of period at most $2$. This allows us to introduce weak antimagic labelings (for which repetition is allowed), and we show that every bipartite graph satisfies a weakened version of the Antimagic Graph Conjecture.

The generation of an experimental database for testing predictive models for α-pinene gas- and particle-phase reactions in the atmosphere
Creators: name: Bapat, Jyoti
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Atmospheric chemistry of biogenic and anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become an increasingly important aspect of environmental policy. Atmospheric oxidation of VOCs produces ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM), both of which have been shown to have effects on climate and human health. α-Pinene, a biogenically emitted VOC, is a source of O3, and in an urban environment is an important source of urban secondary organic aerosol (SOA). This work attempts to model the O3 and SOA production of α-pinene photooxidation in the presence of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and an urban hydrocarbon (HC) mixture. The model was compared against recent experimental data. Under most conditions, the model predicts SOA production well, and fits gas-phase data better than other common mechanisms. Results indicate that further experimentation is required to model α-pinene chemistry at α-pinene/NOx ratios lower than 1, especially since these are concentrations that are atmospherically relevant.
Formation of emission line dots and extremely metal-deficient dwarfs from almost dark galaxies
Creators: name: Bekki, Kenji
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent observations have discovered a number of extremely gas-rich very faint dwarf galaxies possibly embedded in low-mass dark matter halos. We investigate star formation histories of these gas-rich dwarf ("almost dark") galaxies both for isolated and interacting/merging cases. We find that although star formation rates (SFRs) are very low (<10^-5 M_sun/yr) in the simulated dwarfs in isolation for the total halo masses (M_h) of 10^8-10^9 M_sun, they can be dramatically increased to be ~ 10^{-4} M_sun/yr when they interact or merge with other dwarfs. These interacting faint dwarfs with central compact HII regions can be identified as isolated emission line dots ("ELdots") owing to their very low surface brightness envelopes of old stars. The remnant of these interacting and merging dwarfs can finally develop central compact stellar systems with very low metallicities (Z/Z_sun<0.1), which can be identified as extremely metal-deficient ("XMD") dwarfs. These results imply that although there would exist many faint dwarfs that can be hardly detected in the current optical observations, they can be detected as isolated ELdots or XMD dwarfs, when they interact with other galaxies and their host environments. We predict that nucleated ultra-faint dwarfs formed from merging of almost dark dwarfs can be identified as globular clusters owing to the very low surface brightness stellar envelopes, if they are distant objects.

The impact of quality of life measures on the decision to have third molars removed in subjects with mild pericoronitis symptoms
Creators: name: Tang, Dana
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: Subjects and Methods: Healthy subjects (N=113) with mild pericoronitis signs/symptoms were enrolled in an IRB-approved study. Demographic and quality of life (QoL) data were collected at enrollment. Subjects voluntarily scheduled for third molar removal (3MR). The outcome variable was subjects' decision for 3MR within six months of enrollment. Possible predictor variables were demographic and QoL data. To explore associations between the predictor and outcome variables, bivariate analyses (Chi-square and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel) and a multivariate logistic regression were performed. Results: At six months post-enrollment, 79 subjects elected 3MR (removed) and 34 subjects retained their third molars (retained). A greater proportion of the removed compared to the retained group reported at least a little trouble with opening their mouths, 38% vs. 18%, respectively (P=0.04), and taking part in social interactions, 27% vs. 6%, respectively (P=0.01). Conclusion: In pericoronitis subjects, problems with oral function and lifestyle were associated with subjects' decision for early 3MR.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία ασχολείται με την επίδραση της επωνυμίας προορισμών στην τουριστική ανάπτυξη μέσα από την προοπτική του μακρομάρκετινγκ. Αρχικά, στην εργασία γίνεται αναφορά στην έννοια της επωνυμίας, στην αξία επωνυμίας, στην επωνυμία προορισμού (Destination Branding) και στην πίστη επωνυμίας προορισμού. Στη συνέχεια, γίνεται αναφορά στην έννοια της τουριστικής ανάπτυξης, καθώς και στη σχέση μεταξύ επωνυμίας προορισμού και τουριστικής ανάπτυξης, ενώ αναφέρεται το μακρομάρκετινγκ στον τουρισμό. Στη συνέχεια, πραγματοποιείται έρευνα με σκοπό να διερευνηθούν οι απόψεις των πολιτών σχετικά με την επίδραση της επωνυμίας προορισμών στην τουριστική ανάπτυξη. Γενικά, φαίνεται να υποστηρίζεται η περαιτέρω αύξηση του τουρισμού στην περιοχή των συμμετεχόντων. Μέσα από την έρευνα προκύπτει ότι η ανάπτυξη μιας ισχυρής τουριστικής αλυσίδας αξίας συμβάλει στην τουριστική ανάπτυξη ενός προορισμού, όπως και η ανάπτυξη ενός ολοκληρωμένου συστήματος. Σχετικά με την τουριστική ανάπτυξη μέσω της προοπτικής μακρομάρκετινγκ προκύπτει ότι η χρήση της επιστήμης μπορεί να εξαναγκάσει τους καταναλωτές σε τρόπους ζωής που εξυπηρετούν επιχειρηματικά συμφέροντα, η χρήση νέων ή σύγχρονων τεχνικών μάρκετινγκ συμβάλει στη δημιουργία πιο αληθινών επωνυμιών (Brands), για την καλύτερη τουριστική ανάπτυξη, πρέπει να υπάρχει αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ επενδυτικών πολιτικών, επενδύσεων, βιωσιμότητας και ποιότητας ζωής, ενώ μία χώρα για καλύτερη τουριστική ανάπτυξη πρέπει να στραφεί σε μάρκετινγκ που θα βασίζεται περισσότερο στην εδραίωση και βελτίωση της ποιότητας ζωής.

description: Enhanced continuum brightness is observed in many flares (''white light flares''), yet it is still unclear which processes contribute to the emission. To understand the transport of energy needed to account for this emission, we must first identify both the emission processes and the emission source regions. Possibilities include heating in the chromosphere causing optically thin or thick emission from free-bound transitions of Hydrogen, and heating of the photosphere causing enhanced H$^-$ continuum brightness. To investigate these possibilities, we combine observations from IRIS, SDO/HMI, and the ground-based FIRS instrument, covering wavelengths in the far-UV, near-UV, visible, and infrared during the X1 flare SOL20140329T17:48. Fits of blackbody spectra to infrared and visible wavelengths are reasonable, yielding radiation temperatures $\sim$6000-6300 K. The NUV emission, formed in the upper photosphere under undisturbed conditions, exceeds these simple fits during the flare, requiring extra emission from the Balmer continuum in the chromosphere. Thus, the continuum originates from enhanced radiation from photosphere (visible-IR) and chromosphere (NUV). From the standard thick-target flare model, we calculate the energy of the nonthermal electrons observed by RHESSI and compare it to the energy radiated by the continuum emission. We find that the energy contained in most electrons $>$40 keV, or alternatively, of $\sim$10-20% of electrons $>$20 keV is sufficient to explain the extra continuum emission of $\sim4-8 \times 10^{10}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$. Also, from the timing of the RHESSI HXR and the IRIS observations, we conclude that the NUV continuum is emitted nearly instantaneously when HXR emission is observed with a time difference of no more than 15 s.

description: The current study will provide the first direct empirical test of how social frailty is related to meaningful indicators of wellbeing (i.e., demoralisation, apathy, social anxiety, resilience, life satisfaction), after adjusting for other physical, cognitive, mental health and demographic covariates previously linked to social frailty. The study will also include multiple measures of social frailty to establish whether these different measures converge in their associations with important indicators of wellbeing, and if not, whether a specific measure of social frailty, or types of social frailty measure, have particular sensitivity to these important aspects of wellbeing.
Daily Measures of Spousal Support in Women with Breast Cancer

description: The effects of partner support on women with breast cancer were investigated utilizing a daily diary methodology. Fifty-four women who had recently been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer completed daily diary measures of partner support amount and satisfaction, mood, cancer symptoms, and role functioning each day for 30 days. Results indicate that the relationship between support amount and satisfaction and the various outcomes differs depending on the level of support, suggesting different underlying mechanisms for average, same-day, and previous-day support. Women’s average amount and satisfaction with support may help protect the women from the negative impact of breast cancer, while a woman’s daily fluctuations in support seem to be related to her experience on that specific day. For previous-day support, amount appears to operate in the expected direction, while the effect of satisfaction is unclear. Thus, amount and satisfaction are both important when investigating effects of partner support.

description: We compute the local cohomology modules H_Y^(X,O_X) in the case when X is the complex vector space of n x n symmetric, respectively skew-symmetric matrices, and Y is the closure of the GL-orbit consisting of matrices of any fixed rank, for the natural action of the general linear group GL on X. We describe the D-module composition factors of the local cohomology modules, and compute their multiplicities explicitly in terms of generalized binomial coefficients. One consequence of our work is a formula for the cohomological dimension of ideals of even minors of a generic symmetric matrix: in the case of odd minors, this was obtained by Barile in the 90s. Another consequence of our work is that we obtain a description of the decomposition into irreducible GL-representations of the local cohomology modules (the analogous problem in the case when X is the vector space of m x n matrices was treated in earlier work of the authors).

description: The purpose of this paper is a lot of research using reconfigurable smart surfaces (RIS) in long-range wireless networks to develop smart wireless environments. In a RIS, surfaces can control the propagation of incident electromagnetic waves in a programmable smart wireless environment. In parallel, a way is provided to intentionally transform the implementation of a channel, changing it into a controllable set of devices that can be optimized to maximize the overall system performance. Therefore and based on scientific research the RIS is an artificial surface made of electromagnetic (EM) materials that are electronically controlled by implanted electronics. A new cost-effective solution that improves the energy efficiency and spectral efficiency of wireless communications is then presented. The organization of this document is as follows. Section 2 analyzes existing and recent communication technologies based on Intelligent Surfaces with recent state-of-the-art systems. Section 3 describes the working principle of RIS, the intelligent wireless link environment supported by RIS, its related limitations, and the comparison of RIS performance parameters. The principle and operation of metamaterials are discussed in Section 4. Performance comparison of liquid crystal-based RIS implementation active/phase shifts and new RIS active signal models are discussed in Section 5.RIS-based FPGA and its embedded architectures are discussed in Section 6. Section 7 presents the applications and future research directions. At the end of this paper, its completion is presented and ends in Section 8.

description: The effects of reservoir squeezing on the precision of parameter estimation are investigated analytically based on non-perturbation procedures. The exact analytic quantum Fisher information (QFI) is obtained. It is shown that the QFI depends on the estimated parameter and its decay could be reduced by the squeezed reservoir compared with thermal (vacuum) reservoir, in particular, if the squeezing phase matching is satisfied.

description: Two distinct halo populations were found in the solar neighborhood by a series of works. They can be clearly separated by [alpha\Fe] and several other elemental abundance ratios including [Cu/Fe]. Very recently, a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) study revealed that relatively large departures exist between LTE and non-LTE results in copper abundance analysis. We aim to derive the copper abundances for the stars from the sample of Nissen et al (2010) with both LTE and non-LTE calculations. Based on our results, we study the non-LTE effects of copper and investigate whether the high-alpha population can still be distinguished from the low-alpha population in the non-LTE [Cu/Fe] results. Our differential abundance ratios are derived from the high-resolution spectra collected from VLT/UVES and NOT/FIES spectrographs. Applying the MAFAGS opacity sampling atmospheric models and spectrum synthesis method, we derive the non-LTE copper abundances based on the new atomic model with current atomic data obtained from both laboratory and theoretical calculations. The copper abundances determined from non-LTE calculations are increased by 0.01 to 0.2 dex depending on the stellar parameters compared with the LTE results. The non-LTE [Cu/Fe] trend is much flatter than the LTE one in the metallicity range -1.6
