Non-cooperative Equilibria of Fermi Systems With Long Range Interactions
2019
We define a Banach space $\mathcal{M}_{1}$ of models for fermions or quantum spins in the lattice with long range interactions and explicit the structure of (generalized) equilibrium states for any $\mathfrak{m}\in \mathcal{M}_{1}$. In particular, we give a first answer to an old open problem in mathematical physics - first addressed by Ginibre in 1968 within a different context - about the validity of the so-called Bogoliubov approximation on the level of states. Depending on the model $\mathfrak{m}\in \mathcal{M}_{1}$, our method provides a systematic way to study all its correlation functions and can thus be used to analyze the physics of long range interactions. Furthermore, we show tha…
Precision Measurement of the Top Quark Mass in <span class="aps-inline-formula"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="in…
2014
We measure the mass of the top quark in lepton$+$jets final states using the full sample of $$p\bar{p}$$ collision data collected by the D0 experiment in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at $$\sqrt s=1.96 $$TeV, corresponding to $$9.7 {\rm fb}^{-1}$$ of integrated luminosity. We use a matrix element technique that calculates the probabilities for each event to result from $$t\bar t$$ production or background. The overall jet energy scale is constrained in situ by the mass of the $W$ boson. We measure $$m_t=174.98\pm0.76$$ GeV. In conclusion, this constitutes the most precise single measurement of the top-quark mass.

Abstract
Monads in double categories
2010
We extend the basic concepts of Street's formal theory of monads from the setting of 2-categories to that of double categories. In particular, we introduce the double category Mnd(C) of monads in a double category C and define what it means for a double category to admit the construction of free monads. Our main theorem shows that, under some mild conditions, a double category that is a framed bicategory admits the construction of free monads if its horizontal 2-category does. We apply this result to obtain double adjunctions which extend the adjunction between graphs and categories and the adjunction between polynomial endofunctors and polynomial monads.
Risk perception, knowledge, prevention, information sources and efficacy beliefs related to Covid-19
2020
Abstract Background Sars-Cov-2 is one of the latest examples of an emerging infectious disease challenging the world and it is the third case, in just two decades, of “spillover”. In light of the recent outbreak (Italy is in 2nd position), it is important to evaluate people risk perception and to support the Health Authority with effective communicative actions to avoid the spread of “infodemia”/alarmism. The aim of this study is a) to study levels of perceived threat, risk perception, severity and comparative vulnerability b) to compare risk perception with other communicable/not communicable diseases; c) provide information to increase awareness/ knowledge of the disease. Methods We perfo…
P–294 Mapping COVID–19 affected genes from blood in a Window of implantation co-expression network reveals a potentially compromised landscape
2021
Abstract Study question Could the transcriptomic and functional landscape of the window of implantation be compromised by SARS-COV–2 infection? Summary answer Some of the main genes and pathways involved in the window of implantation are affected in blood of COVID–19 patients and receptivity could be affected. What is known already There is a concern whether SARS-COV–2 can disrupt assisted reproduction treatments (ARTs) and fertility in short and long terms. In the endometrium, it was found that genes related to the viral infection (ACE2, TMPRSS2/4, CTSL/B) are involved in menstrual cycle progression, especially in the Window of Implantation (WOI). However, there are no studies describing t…
T52. COGNITION, METACOGNITION AND SOCIAL COGNITION AFTER A FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS. PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM A 5-YEAR-FOLLOW-UP STUDY
2020
Abstract Background Cognitive impairment is considered a core feature of psychotic disorders. Deficits in cognition, metacognition and social cognition have been reported to be correlated, and indeed predictors, of functional outcome or level of disability. Psychotic patients tend to present lower IQ and show impairment in specific cognitive domains, and in social cognition, than controls. Several studies have found deficits in facial emotion recognition (FER) and a higher prevalence of the jumping to conclusions (JTC) reasoning and data gathering biases among psychotic patients, even at time of illness onset, compared to controls. However, the trajectory of this impairment remains unclear.…
S118. TRANSDIAGNOSTIC SYMPTOM DIMENSIONS OF PSYCHOSIS AND THE PREDICTIVE ROLE OF PREMORBID ADJUSTMENT AND COGNITIVE CHARACTERISTICS IN THE MULTINATIO…
2020
Abstract Background A symptom dimension approach may best examine the heterogeneous expression of psychosis. However, whether and how premorbid predisposition and cognitive factors explain phenotypes variation is still debated. This study aimed to test the predictive value of combined cognition and premorbid adjustment on transdiagnostic symptom dimensions in a large sample of people suffering from the first episode of psychosis (FEP). Methods FEP patients were part of the EUGEI study. Psychopathology was rated using the OPerational CRITeria system. Multidimensional item response modelling estimate a bifactor model of psychosis by Mplus, composed of a general factor and five specific sympto…
S126. THE RELATION OF THE PSYCHOSIS CONTINUUM WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA POLYGENIC RISK SCORE AND CANNABIS USE
2020
Abstract Background There has been much debate about whether research into psychosis should be conducted using symptom dimensions as opposed to diagnostic categories. Indeed, dimensions, like categories, may be practical but arbitrary tools for research and clinical practice; hence, they should not be based on psychometric data only. The aim of this study was to externally validate empirically derived symptom dimensions using combined genetic and environmental data. Specifically, we examined the hypothesis that the continuous multivariate distribution of psychosis is a function of cannabis use and genetic liability to schizophrenia, as summarised by polygenic risk score (SZ-PRS). Methods As…
S114. THE EFFICACY OF “URGENT CONSULTATION REQUEST”; PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF A REAL-WORLD APP (REMIDCARE) FOR EARLY PSYCHOSIS
2020
Abstract Background Patients are clamming for more personalized and closer clinical attention (Bonet et al. 2018). To this end, we developed RemindCare app. The app conducts daily and weekly assessments and this information is used to prevent relapses, to improve the therapeutic alliance and it is automatically included at the electronic clinical record of the hospital. Moreover, patients can contact clinicians by an “Urgent Consultation Request” (UCR), which is answered by a phone call in a period of 24-48h. This app was introduced in clinical practice in October 2018. Since then, 81 patients met criteria for inclusion and 57/81 (71%) started using the app. The aim of this study is to anal…
