description: Federated learning allows multiple parties to collaboratively train a model, without needing individual participants to directly reveal their private data. However, sharing the model at various stages of training poses risks for the model owners, particularly from insider threats such as malicious clients who may steal the model. To counter these threats, embedding a watermark in the model allows owners to prove ownership and protect against unauthorized use. This thesis aims to evaluate the effectiveness, fidelity, robustness, and efficiency of state-of-the-art federated black-box watermarking approaches. A key focus is on intermediate models, specifically assessing how well these models are protected during the training process, and exploring how they can be exploited in watermark removal attacks. Additionally, this work proposes modifications to existing watermarking methods in federated learning to address the identified vulnerabilities.

description: In the framework of gravitational models obtained from the Geometric Inflation's proposal, where an infinite tower of curvature scalars are included into the action, we compute the slow-roll parameters by the Hubble slow-roll approach. We test the viability of such models as inflationary scenarios, focusing on the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$, and spectral scalar index, $n_s$, relation. We find that all models considered here produce inflation and, most of them coincide, some better than others, with the marginalized 95$\%$ CL region given by Planck's data collaboration.

Quantum destruction of stiffness in diluted antiferromagnets and superconductors

description: The reduction of 2D superconducting or antiferromagnetic order by random dilution is studied as a model for the 2D diluted Heisenberg antiferromagnet (DHAF) La$_2$Cu$_{1-p}$(Zn,Mg)$_p$O$_4$ and randomly inhomogeneous 2D suerconductors. We show in simplified models that long-range order can persist at the percolation threshold despite the presence of disordered one-dimensional segments, contrary to the classical case. When long-range order persists to the percolation threshold, charging effects (in the superconductor) or frustrating interactions (in the antiferromagnet) can dramatically modify the stiffness of the order. This quantum destruction of stiffness is used to model neutron scattering data on La$_2$Cu$_{1-p}$(Zn,Mg)$_p$O$_4$. In a certain simplified model, there is a sharp stiffness transition between ``stiff'' and ``floppy'' ordered phases.

description: L'area oggetto di questa escursione è di grande interesse geografico in quanto costituisce un esempio emblematico della efficace connessione che può essere stabilita tra potenzialità offerte dall'ambiente naturale e ricerca di risposte ottimali per le esigenze economico-sociali della popolazione. Fin dai tempi più antichi il rapporto uomo-ambiente ha qui visto utilmente messi a frutto tanto l'articolata morfologia del territorio, che ha favorito nei periodi di pace gli insediamenti di valle e nei periodi di maggiore insicurezza politica quelli arroccati, quanto le caratteristiche climatiche e pedologiche che già nei secoli passati hanno orientato le scelte colturali e le attività manufatturiere ad esse sempre strettamente collegate (cartiere e lanifici).

description: La storia geologica degli Ausoni,come pure quella dei contigui monti Lepini ed Aurunci, è direttamente legata alle complesse vicende della formazione degli Appennini: nel Mesozoico, infatti, nella porzione meridionale del mare della Tetide (quella più vicina alle coste africane) inizia l'opera di accumulo di sedimenti calcarei da cui si origineranno nuove formazioni rocciose. Alghe, coralli, unitamente ad animali marini tipici dello stesso Mesozoico come le rudiste, dalla classica forma a cono, diverranno i più tipici organismi costruttori di quella che è chiamata per la sua estensione e collocazione piattaforma carbonatica Laziale-Abruzzese.

description: Herein, we developed novel malachite green (MG), crystal violet (CV), methyl orange (MO) sensitized Polymethylmethacrylate (named as MG@PMMA, CV@PMMA, and MO@PMMA) through the simple solution casting method. The successful formation was confirmed by various analytical and spectroscopic techniques. For the first time, the as-prepared MG@PMMA, CV@PMMA, and MO@PMMA were utilized as photocatalysts for the degradation of levofloxacin (LEV) drug under visible light. The UV–visible spectroscopy results revealed that the above 90%, 94%, and 95% of LEV degradation efficiency was achieved over MG@PMMA, CV@PMMA, and MO@PMMA, respectively. Furthermore, the dye-sensitized PMMA matrices demonstrated good repeatability and reusability even after the fifth usage.

description: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of applying aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) to process the zinc hydrometallurgical cementation residue, seeking to extract the Cu(II) and Cd(II) in the top phase, while zinc is concentrated in the bottom phase. Initially, leaching conditions were optimized. After evaluating several polymers, the optimum conditions of ATPS formation were: poly(ethylene glycol) 4000 g.mol−1 at 18 wt% and pH = 2.0. After two extraction steps, high values of %E for Cu(II) (%E = 90.1 ± 3.1%) and Cd(II) (%E = 99.1 ± 4.0%) were obtained, while Zn(II) was predominantly retained in the bottom phase.

description: Machine learning (ML) algorithms and machine learning based software systems implicitly or explicitly involve complex flow of information between various entities such as training data, feature space, validation set and results. Understanding the statistical distribution of such information and how they flow from one entity to another influence the operation and correctness of such systems, especially in large-scale applications that perform classification or prediction in real time. In this paper, we propose a visual approach to understand and analyze flow of information during model training and serving phases. We build the visualizations using a technique called Sankey Diagram - conventionally used to understand data flow among sets - to address various use cases of in a machine learning system. We demonstrate how the proposed technique, tweaked and twisted to suit a classification problem, can play a critical role in better understanding of the training data, the features, and the classifier performance. We also discuss how this technique enables diagnostic analysis of model predictions and comparative analysis of predictions from multiple classifiers. The proposed concept is illustrated with the example of categorization of millions of products in the e-commerce domain - a multi-class hierarchical classification problem.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να εξετάσει τη θέση που έχει ο ελεύθερος χρόνος στη ζωή του ανθρώπου στη δεύτερη νεωτερικότητα και να ανιχνεύσει τη σχέση που διαμορφώνεται ανάμεσα στη θρησκεία και τον ελεύθερο χρόνο. Στο πρώτο μέρος της μελέτης παρουσιάζονται οι έννοιες της δεύτερης νεωτερικότητας, του ελεύθερου χρόνου, καθώς και ο τρόπος κατανόησής του από την χριστιανική διδασκαλία. Λόγω της στενής σχέσης του ελεύθερου χρόνου με την έννοια της εργασίας, κρίθηκε σκόπιμο να παρουσιαστεί και η θέση της εργασίας ως αξίας στην κοινωνική θεωρία. Στο δεύτερο κομμάτι εξετάζεται ο ελεύθερος χρόνος ως κοινωνικό φαινόμενο στη δεύτερη νεωτερικότητα. Επιλέχθηκαν συγκεκριμένες πτυχές του φαινομένου, είτε νέες είτε σημαντικά διαφορετικές συγκριτικά με το παρελθόν, και ταυτόχρονα έγινε προσπάθεια να τονιστούν σημεία που συνδέονται με τη θρησκεία και τη θρησκευτική συμπεριφορά. Αναλύεται η σημασία της εργασίας για τον σύγχρονο άνθρωπο λαμβάνοντας υπ’ όψιν το νέο εργασιακό τοπίο, καθώς αυτό επηρεάζει την ποσότητα και την ποιότητα του ελεύθερου χρόνου, όπως κάνει και ο κυρίαρχος καταναλωτικός προσανατολισμός της κοινωνίας. Ξεχωριστή ενότητα αφιερώνεται στη σχέση ελεύθερου χρόνου και τουρισμού, με έμφαση στον θρησκευτικό τουρισμό. Η μελέτη ολοκληρώνεται με την παρουσίαση σύγχρονων κοινωνικών διδαχών της Εκκλησίας γύρω από τον ελεύθερο χρόνο, όπως αυτές καταγράφονται σε επίσημα κείμενα.
description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the role that leisure time has in human life in second modernity and to trace the relationship formed between religion and leisure time. In the first part of the study, we present the concepts of second modernity, free time, as well as the way of understanding it from Christian teaching. Due to the close relationship of leisure time with the concept of work, it was considered appropriate to present the significance of work as a value in social theory. The second part examines free time as a social phenomenon in second modernity. Specific aspects of the phenomenon, either new or significantly different compared to the past, were selected. Αt the same time was made an attempt to focus attention on points related to religion and religious behavior. The importance of work for modern people is analysed, in consideration of the new work landscape and its effects in the quantity and the quality of free time, as well as the effect of a dominantly consumer oriented society. A separate section is dedicated to the relationship between leisure and tourism, emphasising on religious tourism. The study concludes with a presentation of contemporary social teachings of the Church regarding leisure time, as recorded in official texts.

description: A maximum likelihood approach has been used to analize the first results from KamLAND emphasizing the application of this method for low statistics samples. The goodness of fit has been determined exploiting a simple Monte Carlo approach in order to test two different null hytpotheses. It turns out that with the present statistics the neutrino oscillation hypothesis has a significance of about 90% (the best-fit for the oscillation parameters from KamLAND are found to be: $δm_{12}^2 \sim 7.1 \times 10^{-5}$ eV$^2$ and $\sin^2 θ_{12} = 0.424/0.576$), while the no-oscillation hypothesis of about 50%. Through the likelihood ratio the hypothesis of no disappearence is rejected at about 99.9% C.L. with the present data from the positron spectrum. A comparison with other analyses is presented.

description: We demonstrate the emergence of an anomalous Hall effect in chiral magnetic textures which is neither proportional to the net magnetization nor to the well-known emergent magnetic field that is responsible for the topological Hall effect. Instead, it appears already at linear order in the gradients of the magnetization texture and exists for one-dimensional magnetic textures such as domain walls and spin spirals. It receives a natural interpretation in the language of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry. We show that this chiral Hall effect resembles the familiar topological Hall effect in essential properties while its phenomenology is distinctly different. Our findings make the re-interpretation of experimental data necessary, and offer an exciting twist in engineering the electrical transport through magnetic skyrmions.

description: Let H_1 and H_2 be complex Hilbert spaces, L_1=P(H_1) and L_2=P(H_2) the lattices of closed subspaces, and let L be a complete atomistic lattice. We prove under some weak assumptions relating L_i and L, that if L admits an orthocomplementation, then L is isomorphic to the separated product of L_1 and L_2 defined by Aerts. Our assumptions are minimal requirements for L to describe the experimental propositions concerning a compound system consisting of so called separated quantum systems. The proof does not require any assumption on the orthocomplementation of L.

description: We studied experimentally the breakup of liquid bridges made of aqueous solutions of Poly(acrylic acid) between two separating solid surfaces with freely moving contact lines. For polymer concentrations higher than a certain threshold ($\sim$ 30 ppm), the contact line on the surface with the highest receding contact angle fully retracts before the liquid bridge capillary breakup takes place at its neck. This means that all the liquid remains attached to the opposing surface when the surfaces are separated. This behavior occurs regardless of the range of liquid volume and stretching speed studied. Such behavior is very different from that observed for Newtonian liquids or non-Newtonian systems where contact lines are intentionally pinned. It is shown that this behavior stems from the competition between thinning of bridge neck (delayed by extensional thickening) and receding of contact line (enhanced by shear thinning) on the surface with lower receding contact angle. If the two surfaces exhibit the same wetting properties, the upper contact line fully retracts before the capillary breakup due to the asymmetry caused by gravity, and, therefore, all the liquid remains on the lower surface.
The Halo Occupation Number and Spatial Distribution of 2dF Galaxies

description: We use the clustering results obtained by Madgwick et al. (2003) for a sample of 96,791 2dF galaxies with redshift 0.01 < z < 0.15 to study the distribution of late-type and early-type galaxies within dark matter haloes of different mass. The adopted method relies on the connection between the distribution of sources within haloes and their clustering properties by focussing on the issue of the halo occupation function i.e. the probability distribution of the number of galaxies brighter than some luminosity threshold hosted by a virialized halo of given mass. Within this framework, the distribution of galaxies within haloes is shown to determine galaxy-galaxy clustering on small scales, being responsible for the observed power-law behaviour at separations r < 3 Mpc. For a more extended analysis, we refer the reader to Magliocchetti & Porciani (2003)

description: This paper investigates heterogeneity of preferences for disability services within the theoretical framework of consumption values. We conducted interviews with people with a disability and disability service providers to develop survey items, then conducted a survey with 2000 adult Australian residents who either had a disability or were carers of a person with a disability. After conducting descriptive analyses and data-driven market segmentation, findings revealed that, at the aggregate level, basic or functional benefits of disability services are most important. However, when accounting for heterogeneity, very distinct benefit patterns emerge, pointing to the substantial potential for improving disability services by catering to distinct market segment needs. These insights have the potential to improve disability service provision, thus maximally harvesting the opportunities from disability service models that now often include commercial providers, and enabling people with disabilities to make optimal choices in relation to both services and providers.

description: We investigate the frequency-resolved intensity noise spectrum of an Yb-doped fiber amplifier down to the fundamental limit of quantum noise. We focus on the kHz and low MHz frequency regime with special interest in the region between 1 and 10 kHz. Intensity noise levels up to >60 dB above the shot noise limit are found, revealing great optimization potential. Additionally, two seed lasers with different noise characteristics were amplified, showing that the seed source has a significant impact and should be considered in the design of high power fiber amplifiers.
Nilpotent Symmetries For A Free Relativistic Particle In Augmented Superfield Formalism

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

description: In the framework of the augmented superfield formalism, the local, covariant, continuous and off-shell (as well as on-shell) nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations are derived for a $(0 + 1)$-dimensional free scalar relativistic particle that provides a prototype physical example for the more general reparametrization invariant string- and gravitational theories. The trajectory (i.e. the world-line) of the free particle, parametrized by a monotonically increasing evolution parameter $τ$, is embedded in a $D$-dimensional flat Minkowski target manifold. This one-dimensional system is considered on a $(1 + 2)$-dimensional supermanifold parametrized by an even element $τ$ and a couple of odd elements ($θ$ and $\barθ$) of a Grassmannian algebra. The horizontality condition and the invariance of the conserved (super)charges on the (super)manifolds play very crucial roles in the above derivations of the nilpotent symmetries. The geometrical interpretations for the nilpotent (anti-)BRST charges are provided in the framework of augmented superfield approach.

description: The \textit{Kepler} space telescope observed thousands of RR Lyrae stars in the K2 mission. In this paper we present our photometric solutions using extended apertures in order to conserve the flux of the stars to the highest possible extent. With this method we are able to avoid most of the problems that RR Lyrae light curves produced by other pipelines suffer from. For post-processing we apply the K2SC pipeline to our light curves. We provide the EAP (Extended Aperture Photometry) of 432 RR Lyrae stars observed in campaigns 3, 4, 5, and 6. We also provide subclass classifications based on Fourier parameters. We investigated in particular the presence of the Blazhko effect in the stars, and found it to be 44.7\% among the RRab stars, in agreement with results from independent samples. We found that the amplitude and phase modulation in the Blazhko stars may behave rather differently, at least over the length of a K2 Campaign. We also identified four anomalous Cepheid candidates in the sample one of which is potentially the first Blazhko-modulated member of its class.

description: This paper reports a method for preparation of functional derivative – poly(N-2-sulfoethyl)allylamine – obtained when treating poly(allylamine) with sodium vinylsulfonate, and allowing for the complete functionalization of the amino groups. The composition and the structure of the products of the polymer transformation were studied using the elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. In order to obtain the sorption material, it is necessary to use epichlorohydrin, which enables the effective cross-linking of the macromolecule, vs. glutaraldehyde. The sorbent based on the sulfoethylated poly(allylamine) selectively removes silver(I) from its ammonium acetate buffer solution having the рН value from 6.0 to 6.5 and containing some other transition and alkaline earth metal ions.

description: In questo lavoro di ricerca, svolto all’interno dei circoli di lettura secondo il metodo del Writing and Reading Workshop, si è cercato di individuare delle strategie volte a sostenere l’allievo nello sviluppo di competenze comunicative nell’oralità. Si ipotizza infatti che la lettura possa costituire uno strumento valido per sostenerla e svilupparne la qualità. I dati sono stati raccolti attraverso dei questionari di entrata e di uscita, autovalutazioni, testi scritti e osservazioni della docente. Il metodo utilizzato è dunque qualitativo. In conclusione si è potuto osservare che l’attività svolta nei circoli di lettura ha avuto degli effetti positivi sugli allievi. Malgrado ci si aspettasse un miglioramento consistente rispetto alla qualità dei discorsi, avvenuto solo in parte, questo percorso ha permesso agli allievi di raggiungere una maggiore consapevolezza riguardo al valore positivo delle discussioni di gruppo e alle difficoltà che si possono riscontrare. L’attività ha inoltre favorito l’integrazione di alcuni allievi e invogliato molti altri a leggere maggiormente. Relatrice: Anna Bosia.

description: This work describes a novel image analysis approach to characterize the uniformity of objects in agglomerates by using the propagation of normal wavefronts. The problem of width uniformity is discussed and its importance for the characterization of composite structures normally found in physics and biology highlighted. The methodology involves identifying each cluster (i.e. connected component) of interest, which can correspond to objects or voids, and estimating the respective medial axes by using a recently proposed wavefront propagation approach, which is briefly reviewed. The distance values along such axes are identified and their mean and standard deviation values obtained. As illustrated with respect to synthetic and real objects (in vitro cultures of neuronal cells), the combined use of these two features provide a powerful description of the uniformity of the separation between the objects, presenting potential for several applications in material sciences and biology.

description: Amphiregulin (Areg), a glycoprotein from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligand family, has a well-documented protective role against tissue injury; however, its effects on immune-mediated liver injury are still unclear. Here, we used a concanavalin A (ConA)-induced acute liver hepatitis model to explore the effects of Areg on immune-mediated acute liver injury. Some C57BL/6 mice were administered ConA at a dose of 20 mg/kg (model mice), and some received 5 µg of Areg (treated mice). Then, their survival rates over 36 h were analyzed. After 5 h of treatment, liver function, hepatic histology, and apoptosis in liver tissue were investigated, and cytokine expression and neutrophil infiltration and activity in the liver were detected. Moreover, the protective effects of Areg were also evaluated without IL-22 in vivo. Our results showed that Areg administration increased acute liver failure (ALF) mouse survival, restored liver function, and alleviated liver damage. Interestingly, Areg administration increased IL-22 production in hepatic T cells and upregulated IL-22 concentrations in the serum and liver, whereas IL-22 neutralization completely abolished the therapeutic effect of Areg. Meanwhile, Areg administration was concomitant with increased expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, which are important in the hepatoprotective mechanism of IL-22. Areg showed direct protective effects against ConA-induced acute liver injury, which suggests the potential therapeutic application of Areg in immune-mediated ALF.

description: We derive the chiral effective Lagrangian for heavy-light mesons in the heavy quark limit from QCD under proper approximations. The low energy constants in the effective Lagrangian are expressed in terms of the light quark self-energy. With typical forms of the running coupling constant of QCD and the quark self-energy obtained from Dyson-Schwinger equations as well as lattice QCD, we estimate the low energy constants in the model and the strong decay widths. A comparison with data and some discussions of the numerical results are presented.

Semiclassical Double-Pomeron Production of Glueballs and $η'$

description: A semiclassical theory of high energy scattering based on interrupted tunneling (instantons) or QCD sphaleron production has been recently developed to describe the growing hadronic cross section and properties of the soft Pomeron. In this work we address double-pomeron processes in this framework for the first time. We specifically derive the cross section for central production of parity even and odd clusters, scalar and pseudoscalar glueballs, and $η'$ in parton-parton scattering at high energy. We show that the specific dependence of the production cross section on all its kinematical variables compares favorably with the UA8 data on inclusive cluster production, as well as the WA102 data on exclusive central production of scalar glueball and $η'$, in double-pomeron exchange $pp$ scattering. The magnitude of the cross section and its dependece on kinematic variables is correct, explaining in particular a large deviation from the Pomeron factorization at cluster masses in the range $M_X<8$ GeV reported by UA8.

Rates of $D^{*}_{0}(2400)$, $ D_J^*(3000) $ as the $D^{*}_{0}(2P)$ and $D^{*}_{0}(3P)$ in $B$ Decays

description: In this paper, we use the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method to calculate the semi-leptonic and non-leptonic production of the orbitally excited scalar $ D_0^* $ in $ B $ meson decays. When the final state is $ 1P $ state $ D_0^*(2400) $, our theoretical decay rate is consistent with experimental data. For $ D_J^*(3000) $ final state, which was observed by LHCb collaboration recently and here treated as the orbitally excited scalar $D^{*}_{0}(2P)$, its rate is in the order of $ 10^{-4} \sim 10^{-6}$. We find the special node structure of $D^{*}_{0}(2P)$ wave function possibly results in the suppression of its branching ratio and the abnormal uncertainty. The $3P$ states production rate is in the order of $ 10^{-5}$.

description: A multi-line millimeter-wave study of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 4945 has been carried out using the Swedish-ESO Submillimeter Telescope (SEST). The study covers the frequency range from 82 GHz to 354 GHz and includes 80 transitions of 19 molecules. 1.3 mm continuum data of the nuclear source are also presented. A large number of molecular species indicate the presence of a prominent high density interstellar gas component characterized by $n_{\rm H_2}\sim10^5$ cm$^{-3}$. Abundances of molecular species are calculated and compared with abundances observed toward the starburst galaxies NGC 253 and M 82 and galactic sources. Apparent is an `overabundance' of HNC in the nuclear environment of NGC 4945. While the HNC/HCN $J$=1--0 line intensity ratio is $\sim$0.5, the HNC/HCN abundance ratio is $\sim$1. While HCN is subthermally excited ($T_{\rm ex}\sim$8 K), CN is even less excited ($T_{\rm ex}\sim$3--4 K), indicating that it arises from a less dense gas component and that its $N$=2--1 line can be optically thin even though its $N$=1--0 emission is moderately optically thick. Overall, fractional abundances of NGC 4945 suggest that the starburst has reached a stage of evolution that is intermediate between those observed in NGC 253 and M 82. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur isotope ratios are also determined. Within the limits of uncertainty, carbon and oxygen isotope ratios appear to be the same in the nuclear regions of NGC 4945 and NGC 253. High $^{18}$O/$^{17}$O, low $^{16}$O/$^{18}$O and $^{14}$N/$^{15}$N and perhaps also low $^{32}$S/$^{34}$S ratios appear to be characteristic properties of a starburst environment in which massive stars have had sufficient time to affect the isotopic composition of the surrounding interstellar medium.

description: We use a modified perturbative renormalization group approach to study the random quantum antiferromagnetic spin-3/2 chain. We find that in the case of rectangular distributions there is a quantum Griffiths phase and we obtain the dynamical critical exponent $Z$ as a function of disorder. Only in the case of extreme disorder, characterized by a power law distribution of exchange couplings, we find evidence that a random singlet phase could be reached. We discuss the differences between our results and those obtained by other approaches.
