Unveiling signatures of topological phases in open kitaev chains and ladders
2019
In this work, the general problem of the characterization of the topological phase of an open quantum system is addressed. In particular, we study the topological properties of Kitaev chains and ladders under the perturbing effect of a current flux injected into the system using an external normal lead and derived from it via a superconducting electrode. After discussing the topological phase diagram of the isolated systems, using a scattering technique within the Bogoliubov de Gennes formulation, we analyze the differential conductance properties of these topological devices as a function of all relevant model parameters. The relevant problem of implementing local spectroscopic measurement…

Orto Botanico
The University of Palermo’s Botanical Garden is one of the most important Italian academic institutions. This enormous outdoor museum can boast over 200 years of activity and is responsible for the study and diffusion of innumerable plant species in Sicily, in Europe and throughout the Mediterranean basin, many of which come from tropical and subtropical regions. Today, the Garden is particularly noteworthy for the large variety of species and the expressivity of the many floras it hosts.
Rifampicin treatment of Blattella germanica evidences a fecal transmission route of their gut microbiota
2018
Eukaryotes have established symbiotic relationship with microorganisms, which enables them to accomplish functions that they cannot perform alone. In the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, the obligate endosymbiont Blattabacterium coexists with a rich gut microbiota. The transmission of Blattabacterium is vertical, but little is known about how the gut microbiota colonizes newborn individuals. In this study, we treated B. germanica populations with rifampicin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, during two generations and analyzed gut bacterial composition and the Blattabacterium load in control and rifampicin-treated populations. Rifampicin exerted a drastic effect on gut microbiota compositi…

Repeatability and reliability of the diabetic foot self-care questionnaire in Arabic patients: A transcultural adaptation.
2022
Abstract Purpose The diabetic foot self-care questionnaire is considered a self-care evaluation tool with 16 questions for assessing diabetic foot health disorders. To date, the DFSQ has been validated in different languages, but an Arabic version was lacking. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to translate and validate the Arabic version of the DFSQ (DFSQ-AR). Method A suitable method was developed for the translation protocol and cross-cultural validation from Spanish to Arabic. Regarding the total marks from each sub-scale, agreement degrees and confidence were analyzed using Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. In addition, the mean ± standar…
Integrated Activities for the High Energy Astrophysics Domain
High-energy astrophysics is the study of the most energetic and extreme processes in the universe, processes that are impossible to replicate in experiments here on Earth. These processes are associated with objects like exploding stars and supermassive black holes, and their understanding not only helps us answer fundamental questions about the origin and evolution of our cosmos but also fosters technological developments in other areas. Further, it prepares us to optimise space exploration expeditions for maximum impact. Teamwork is necessary for success and the EU-funded AHEAD2020 project is team building to achieve this. A key focus is integration of national efforts while enhancing foc…
True Bugs Collection (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)
A true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) collection at the University Opole contains several thousand specimens, including more than a hundred types representing mainly three families, i.e. Cydnidae (burrowing bugs), Tingidae (lace bugs) and Dinidoridae. The collection covers almost all zoogeographical regions of the World, but mostly concentrates on tropical Africa, Australia, the Oriental Region and the Palaearctics.
A one-year follow-up of basic psychological need satisfactions in physical education and associated in-class and total physical activity
2020
This study examined basic psychological need satisfactions for competence, autonomy, and social relatedness in physical education (PE) and their contributions to accelerometer-based in-class and total moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) across a one-year follow-up (T1). Participants were 523 students (girls 280, boys 243; mean age = 11.26 ± 0.31) and the data were collected using self-reports and waist-worn accelerometers. The key findings were: (a) competence and social relatedness need satisfaction at baseline (T0) predicted total MVPA at T1 via total MVPA at T0; (b) in-class MVPA at T0 predicted total MVPA at T1 via total MVPA at T0; (c) in-class MVPA was directly associated w…
Constraints on a possible dibaryon from combined analysis of the $pn \to d \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $pn \to pn \pi^+ \pi^-$ cross sections
2013
We use recent data that show a narrow peak around $\sqrt{s}=2.37\ \text{GeV}$ in the $pn \to d \pi^+ \pi^-$ cross section, with about double strength at the peak than in the analogous $pn \to d \pi^0 \pi^0$ reaction, and, assuming that it is due to the excitation of a dibaryon resonance, we evaluate the cross section for the $pn \to pn \pi^+ \pi^-$ reaction, with the final $pn$ unbound but with the same quantum numbers as the deuteron. We use accurate techniques to determine the final state interaction in the case of the $pn$ forming a deuteron or a positive energy state, which allow us to get the $pn \to pn \pi^+ \pi^-$ cross section with $pn$ in I=0 and S=1, that turns out to be quite clo…

Persistence of the Z=28 shell gap in A=75 isobars: Identification of a possible (1/2−) μs isomer in Co75 and β decay to Ni75
2021
Background: The evolution of shell structure around doubly-magic exotic nuclei is of great interest in nuclear physics and astrophysics. In the `south-west' region of $^{78}$Ni, the development of deformation might trigger a major shift in our understanding of explosive nucleosynthesis. To this end, new spectroscopic information on key close-lying nuclei is very valuable. Purpose: We intend to measure the isomeric and $\beta$ decay of $^{75}$Co, with one proton- and two neutron-holes relative to $^{78}$Ni, to access new nuclear structure information in $^{75}$Co and its $\beta$-decay daughters $^{75}$Ni and $^{74}$Ni. Methods: The nucleus $^{75}$Co is produced in relativistic in-flight fiss…
