L’area alpina centro-orientale negli storici romani
No full textRassegna commentata delle principali testimonianze degli storici antichi (particolarmente Livio, Cesare, Strabone e Tacito), utili per comprendere le strutture e le vicende dell’area alpina, dai primi contatti con i Romani alla conquista augustea fino all’età imperiale. I passi degli storici romani sono indagati non soltanto come fonti da cui estrarre una serie di dati oggettivi, ma anche e soprattutto come testi letterari, dotati di una loro organicità, che intendono trasmetterci una certa idea e immagine del mondo alpino
Probing the Top-Yukawa Coupling by Searching for Associated Higgs Boson Production with a Single Top Quark at the CMS Experiment
No full textIn this thesis the associated production of a single top quark with a Higgs boson is studied. This process is especially well suited for probing of the Top-Yukawa coupling, as the cross section of the tH process increases for couplings deviating from the Standard Model prediction. Upper exclusion limits are set on the tH production by analyzing the data recorded during Run-I and recorded in 2015 during Run-II of the LHC with the CMS detector

Archives and history: Towards a history of 'the use of state archives' in the 19(th) century
No full textThis article probes the relationship between archives and history by examining the archive policy on historical research in the first modern administration state of the German lands, the kingdom of Bavaria. Given the continuing tradition of the theory and practice of the arcana imperii in the 19(th) century, state archives served first and foremost the state. As a result, researchers' interest in archival material was to undergo an administrative vetting procedure, in order to safeguard the interests of the state. By examining comparatively the cases of two petitioners supplicating for the historical use of state archives in Munich, the article showcases the policy of secrecy and the resultant administrative threshold separating the sphere of the arcana from the public. Caution guided the archive politics of state officials and, ultimately, their more or less explicit notions and concerns decided which material was finally to be released, in order to become a source' for historical study. Historical researchers such as the writer Alessandro Volpi and the historian August Kluckhohn were thus required to meet specific criteria and to overcome political hurdles, in order to gain access to the desired clues guarded by the state. As a result of this, the opportunity to inspect archival material was very much dependent on the political communication between petitioner and government, and its result, the granting or denial of access, was not without ramifications for historical research and the epistemic status of historical knowledge

Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Physical properties of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system in Europe
No full textSuhadolc, P., Panza, G.F. and Mueller, St., 1990. Physical properties of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system in Europe. In: R. Freeman and St.Mueller (Editors), The European Geotraverse, Part 6. ~ectono~hysics, 176: 123-135.
All the geophysical fields considered evidence a clear structural difference between the Adriatic Sea-Ionian Sea basin on one side and the Tyrrhenian Sea-Western Mediterranean basin on the other. The former displays continental type characteristics, while the latter shows features definitely related to young ocean basins.
Lateral variations in the thickness of the high-velocity sub-crustal layer, the “lid”, are clearly evidenced in the whole European area. The lateral changes in the shear-wave velocities of the exosphere-~th~osphe~ system are quite pronounced. Gravity data imply a positive density contrast (0.03-0.07 g,/cm3) in the upper mantie related to almost aseismic high-velocity lithospheric roots, which seem to characterize many erogenic belts. The analysis of a transect along the longitudinal axis of the Alps seems to indicate that relevant lateral variations in density are present in the lithospheric part of the mantle
Dissipative Range Scaling of Higher Order Structure Functions for Velocity and Passive Scalars
No full textDifferently to Kolmogorov's second similarity hypothesis, we find that the 2n-th order velocity and scalar structure functions scale with n-th order moment of the energy dissipation and the scalar dissipation, respectively. The origins of this scaling are analyzed by the transport equations of the fourth order velocity and scalar increment moments and by direct numerical simulations
DNA Nanotechnology: The Development of Multi-Functional Hybridization Sensors
No full textHybridization probes have been used to detect specific nucleic acids for the last 50 years. These probes have medical applications, including identifying disease-causing genes or multi-drug resistant bacteria. To be considered robust, a probe should have high selectivity at ambient or low temperatures, be able to detect folded analytes, and remain economical for use in clinical settings. This work will uncover a challenge faced by molecular beacon probes (MBP), describe an adaptation to MBPs that enables the hybridization of the probe to a folded target, a multicomponent DNA sensor (OWL2) that overcomes common challenges faced by hybridization probes, and a thresholding sensor (MB-Th) that allows for the quantification of microRNA. Using ssDNA segments, the MBP adaptation and OWL2 sensor are able to hybridize with and detect folded analytes. The OWL2 sensor contains two analyte-binding arms to unwind folded analytes and two sequence-specific strands that bind both the analyte and a universal molecular beacon (UMB) probe to form a fluorescent ‘OWL’ structure. The sensor can differentiate single base mismatches in folded analytes in the temperature range of 5–38 °C, even when challenged with excess wild-type analytes. The MB-Th sensor consists of two gates with increasing affinity for the target, with each varying in thermodynamic stability. The gates bind to separate molecular beacons, each with a unique fluorophore, and produce distinct signals that can be measured simultaneously. Both sensor designs are cost-efficient since the same UMB probe can be used to detect any analyte sequence. These sensors have significant clinical benefits for diagnosing non-invasive early-stage cancer and cancers associated with miRNA dysregulation.This work was supported by the National Science Foundation through the CCF: Software and Hardware Foundations under cooperative agreement SHF-1907824 and CCF: SHF-2226021, and by the Special Research Fund (BOF) of Hasselt University: BOF23BL0
