    Si anticipano qui alcuni interventi del IV Seminario di Bertinoro svoltosi il 17 ottobre 2008 sul tema Tecnica e politica delle citazioni: l’Introduzione di Franco Carinci, nonchè la relazione della Prof.ssa Fiorella Lunardon e l’intervento della Prof.ssa Marina Brollo. La relazione e l’intervento evidenziano i due aspetti rilevanti delle citazioni, quali supporto e rispettivamente quali elementi di valutazione della ricerca ai fini della ripartizione dei Fondi. Gli atti sono in corso di pubblicazione su Quaderni di Argomenti di Diritto del Lavoro, con premessa di Mattia Persiani e Franco Carinci, e, oltre alla relazione di Fiorella Lunardon e all’intervento di Marina Brollo, con contributi di Alessandro Bellavista, Laura Castelvetri, Vito Leccese, Marco Marazza, Antonio Viscomi, Roberto Pessi, Mariella Magnan

    Translation dual of a semifield

    No full text
    In this paper we obtain a new description of the translation dual of a semifield introduced in [G. Lunardon, Translation ovoids, J. Geom. 76 (2003) 200–215]. Using such a description we are able to prove that a semifield and its translation dual have nuclei of the same order. Combining the Knuth cubical array and the translation dual, we give an alternate description of the chain of twelve semifields in the table of [S. Ball, G.L. Ebert, M. Lavrauw, A geometric construction of finite semifields, J. Algebra 311 (2007) 117–129]

    Open Heavy Flavour Detection in ALICE

    No full text
    The start of the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scheduled for next year, will open a new chapter for heavy-ion physics. An important new aspect at the LHC, with respect to the existing accelerators, will be the abundant production of heavy quarks, that are expected to be a key probe of the strongly interacting medium produced in the collision. We present results on the expected experimental capability for the measurement of heavy avour production in the central barrel of ALICE, the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the LHC

    Study of the ALICE performance for the measurement of beauty via the electron decay channel

    No full text
    We present a strategy for the detection of electrons coming from the semi-electronic decay of beauty particles generated in Pb–Pb and p–p collisions at LHC using the ALICE detector. The experiment’s performance for this measurement is evaluated in terms of accessible pt range and expected uncertainties

    Empirical bias-reducing adjustments to estimating functions

    No full text
    We develop a novel and general framework for reduced-bias MM-estimation from asymptotically unbiased estimating functions. The framework relies on an empirical approximation of the bias by a function of derivatives of estimating function contributions. Reduced-bias MM-estimation operates either implicitly, by solving empirically-adjusted estimating equations, or explicitly, by subtracting the estimated bias from the original MM-estimates, and applies to models that are partially- or fully-specified, with either likelihoods or other surrogate objectives. Automatic differentiation can be used to abstract away the only algebra required to implement reduced-bias MM-estimation. As a result, the bias reduction methods we introduce have markedly broader applicability with more straightforward implementation and less algebraic or computational effort than other established bias-reduction methods that require resampling or evaluation of expectations of products of log-likelihood derivatives. If MM-estimation is by maximizing an objective, then there always exists a bias-reducing penalized objective. That penalized objective relates closely to information criteria for model selection, and can be further enhanced with plug-in penalties to deliver reduced-bias MM-estimates with extra properties, like finiteness in models for categorical data. The reduced-bias MM-estimators have the same asymptotic distribution as the original MM-estimators, and, hence, standard procedures for inference and model selection apply unaltered with the improved estimates. We demonstrate and assess the properties of reduced-bias MM-estimation in well-used, prominent modelling settings of varying complexity

    We give a new proof of the main theorem of \cite{THAS1997} concerning the connection between good eggs in \PG(4n-1,q), qq odd, and Veronese varieties, using the model for good eggs in \PG(4n-1,q), qq odd, from \cite{LAVRAUWPENTTILA2001}
