MEASUREMENT OF THE MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENTS OF THE $\LAMBDA$ BARYON AT LHCB

One of the most profound and unresolved questions in modern physics is why the Universe is composed predominantly of matter, with negligible antimatter. This imbalance suggests the existence of processes that violate the fundamental symmetry between matter and antimatter, the so-called CP symmetry. However, the amount of CP violation predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics (SM), via the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark-mixing mechanism, cannot explain the large observed asymm...

LA GRANDE MILANO NELL'EPOCA DEI LUMI. LA CORRISPONDENZA DI ANTONIO GREPPI ALLE ORIGINI DELLA NOSTRA MODERNITA' STORICA E CULTURALE.

La figura del fermiere Antonio Greppi e l’affare della Ferma generale di Milano tra il 1750 e il 1770 sono state oggetto ricerche intensive nel corso della seconda metà del Novecento, con particolare riferimento all’Istituto Mario Romano e agli studi di Storia economica realizzati sotto la direzione di Sergio Zaninelli presso l’Università del Sacro Cuore di Milano. Presso l’Università degli Studi di Milano, invece, la ricerca si è concentrata sulla dimensione politica della Ferma e sulla pers...

ANALYSING TEACHERS¿ RELATIONSHIPS TO INVESTIGATE TERTIARY EFFECT AND WORK-RELATED OUTCOMES

The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the influence of teachers' social networks on various aspects of their professional and personal attitudes. In particular, it focuses on teachers' stereotypes and biases, which may represent antecedents of the so-called tertiary effects of social origin on educational inequalities—namely, the often unconscious ways in which schools and their agents contribute to the reproduction of these inequalities. The use of Social Network Analysis (SNA) offe...

SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF NOVEL ANTIPARASITIC AND ANTICANCER AGENTS

Vector-borne parasitic diseases (VBPDs), including human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), leishmaniasis, and malaria, pose a major global health challenge, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Climate change is expected to alter their transmission patterns, potentially expanding their impact worldwide. Despite their severe health, economic, and social consequences, available treatments often suffer from toxicity, limited efficacy, and increasing drug resistance. Considering th...

CO AND CO2 HYDROGENATION BY FISCHER TROPSCH SYNTHESIS PROMOTED WITH IRON BASED HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS: DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESS DESIGN

The reduction of CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere has become a global priority, given the crucial role of this greenhouse gas in climate change. A promising approach to mitigate CO₂ is its conversion into fuels and chemicals through processes such as Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis. Traditionally, FT relies on syngas (CO/H₂) over transition-metal catalysts, but the direct hydrogenation of CO₂ has been less explored, particularly with Fe-based heterogeneous catalysts. Iron is an abundant and i...

AMPK-MEDIATED LONG-TERM REGULATION OF HCN4CONTRIBUTES TO AGE-RELATED SINUS BRADYCARDIA

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels mediates inward depolarizing currents, called If in the heart and Ih in the brain, that contribute to the regulation of neuronal excitability and cardiac rhythm. Among the HCN isotypes, HCN4 stands out for its prominent role in pacemaker activity in the heart where it acts as a key element for the heart rhythm and its adrenergic modulation. Changes in HCN4 activity or in its amount leads to pathological condition characterized...

SUPPORTING COMPANIES IN THEIR DIGITAL TRANSITION TO SMART MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

Industry 4.0 (I4.0), which is considered to be the fourth industrial revolution, is now a well-established concept. However, it presents significant challenges for several manufacturing sectors. Luxury fashion is a key example, showing two blocking factors. First, the need to keep not only design, but also production data in-house, to protect industrial secrets, prevents the export of production or design data to external cloud services. Second, the need to keep using specially tailored legac...

MAKING UP URBAN SPACE. A COMPARATIVE ETHNOGRAPHY OF SOCIAL DISTANCING ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT

While social distancing has emerged as a global strategy in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, its relevance in social science, particularly as a category for the study of everyday life, remains a subject of debate. This research, relying on the complementary aspects of interactionist studies, neo-materialism, and neo-Marxist perspectives, delves into phenomena and ecologies of social distancing on public transport within Milan, Amsterdam, and New York City. The study, moving beyond the pandem...
