    This thesis deals with the investigation of single-ion excitations, magnetic frustration, and magnetization reversal phenomena. We have employed neutron scattering, μ+SR, and computational methods for these studies. Inverse spinel oxide Co2VO4 belongs to the family of spinel vanadates where cobalt and vanadium ions occupy the spinel B-site equally. This system exhibits magnetization reversal for temperatures below 65 K. Magnetization studies reveal three anomalies involving collinear and non-collinear ferrimagnetism phase and magnetization reversal crossover. Neutron diffraction analysis of Co2VO4 unveils that the evolution of relative balance between the two sublattice moments leads to ferrimagnetic phase and magnetization reversal. DFT calculation and μ+SR results suggest delocalization -localization crossover as the underlying microscopic mechanism for magnetization reversal. Rare earth oxide SrTm2O4 belongs to the family of SrLn2O4 where two inequivalent Tm3+s form two zig-zag chains along the orthorhombic c-axis. An earlier study on SrTm2O4 reports the absence of long- or short-range order down to 65 mK. The crystal fields and exchange interactions in SrTm2O4 were studied to examine the absence of order. The crystal fields in SrTm2O4 were modeled using DFT and the effective charge (EC) model. The EC model describes the system well and suggests ꞁJ,mj > = ꞁ6,0> dominates the ground state of both Tm3+s. The exchange interactions extracted from low-energy dispersing excitations using random phase approximation suggest that Tm2 chains are frustrated and Tm1 chains could form dimers. The critical ratio calculated from exchange interaction indicates SrTm2O4 cannot undergo a thermal second-order phase transition confirming the absence of order. μ+SR results show oscillations in polarization evolution spectra; these are typically associated with muon precession due to the system’s long-range order. Modeling precession frequency vs. temperature reveals that these oscillations originate due to nuclear hyperfine enhancement. Additionally, the magnetic field application induces long-range order, with Tm2 function as polarized paramagnet whereas Tm1 above 4 T transitions into XY-AFM phase

    A method for detecting the profile of an author

    No full text
    This paper presents a method for detecting an author’s profile using the following two elements: gender and age. This is based on a set of dialogues, written in two languages: English and Spanish, provided for Author Profiling competence within the evaluation forum "Uncovering Plagiarism, Authorship, and Social Software Misuse" (PAN2018). Counts of lexical, semantic, and syntactic characteristics are used to generate a two-phase classification system, which first classifies gender and then age. The results obtained show that, with the amount of data available, it is possible to characterize both the age and gender of an author with an accuracy greater than 50%. However, these values could be improved by having more evidence of information in the training data.Silva, JesusGarcía, SilviaBinda, María AlejandraMarin Gonzalez, FredyBarrios, RosioLeon Castro, Bellani

    Conference Institutional archives for research: experiences and projects in Open Access Istituto Superiore di Sanità Rome, 30 November - 1 December 2006

    No full text
    The Congress was organised into four sessions: 1) Open Access (OA) and authors: support from the international community; 2) OA in Italy: knowledge and tools to write and search; 3) institutional policies for OA; 4) opportunities and services to develop OA. It was aimed at achieving the following objectives: a) make authors of biomedical publications aware of the benefits of depositing research material in digital open archives and publishing in OA peer-reviewed journals; b) outline the impact of the OA publishing model on the assessment of research output; c) enhance the adoption of policies encouraging the OA paradigm; d) promote cooperation between research institutions in Italy and abroad to share resources and experiences on institutional repositories. A useful introductory bibliography on the OA publishing model in the biomedical field is included in the Appendix

    On some singular Sturm-Liouville equations and a Hardy type inequality

    No full text
    The main body of this dissertation can be divided into two separate topics. The first topic deals with a Hardy type inequality for functions belonging to the Sobolev space W0m,1(Omega)W^{m,1}_0(Omega), where mgeq2mgeq 2 and OmegaOmega is a smooth bounded domain in RRNRR^N, Ngeq1Ngeq 1. We show that for such functions uinW0m,1(Omega)uin W^{m,1}_0(Omega), one has [ orm{partial^kpt{frac{partial^ju(x)}{d(x)^{m-j-k}}}}_{L^1(Omega)}leq Corm{u}_{W^{m,1}(Omega)}, ] where j,kj,k are non-negative integers such that 1leqkleqm11 leq k leq m-1 and 1leqj+kleqm1leq j+kleq m, and d(x)d(x) is a smooth positive function which coincides with dist(x,domega)dist(x,domega) near domegadomega. The second topic deals with the study of the singular Sturm-Liouville operator {mathcalLalphau:=(x2alphau)mathcal L_alpha u:=-(x^{2alpha}u')',} where alpha>0alpha>0. We develop a linear theory for such operator by introducing suitable weighted Sobolev spaces and prove existence and uniqueness for equations of the form mathcalLalphau+u=finL2mathcal L_alpha u+u=fin L^2 under both homogeneous and non-homogeneous boundary data at the origin. In addition, the spectrum of the operator mathcalLalphamathcal L_alpha is fully described. Finally, we prove existence, non-existence and uniqueness results for positive solutions of the non-linear singular Sturm-Liouville equation mathcalLalphau=lambdau+up,u(1)=0mathcal L_alpha u=lambda u+u^p, u(1)=0, where alpha>0alpha>0, p>1p>1 and lambdainRRlambdainRR are parameters.Ph.
