Probing primordial features with the primary CMB
CMB photons travel from the last scattering surface, when the primary CMB has
been generated, along the surface of the light cone to us. During their travel,
they are affected by many secondary effects such as the integrated Sachs-Wolfe
effect and CMB lensing. These CMB secondary effects modify the CMB primary
power spectrum adding degeneracies and decreasing the sensibility to primordial
parameters. The possibility to reconstruct the primary CMB anisotropies will
allow us to have a more direct observable to test the physics of the early
universe. We propose to study the imprint of features in the primordial power
spectrum with the primary CMB after the subtraction of the reconstructed ISW
signal from the observed CMB temperature angular power spectrum. We consider
the application to features models able to fit two of the large scales
anomalies observed in the CMB temperature angular power spectrum: the deficit
of power at and at . This method allows to improve
significantly the constraints on the features parameters up to for
models predicting a suppression of power of the quadrupole and up to for
models with features at , assuming instrumental sensitivity
similar to the satellite (depending on the goodness of the ISW
reconstruction). Furthermore, it gives the opportunity to understand if these
anomalies are attributed to early- or late-time physics.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, 1 table; Version accepted by Physics of Dark

CMB and BAO constraints for an induced gravity dark energy model with a quartic potential
We study the predictions for structure formation in an induced gravity dark
energy model with a quartic potential. By developing a dedicated
Einstein-Boltzmann code, we study self-consistently the dynamics of homogeneous
cosmology and of linear perturbations without using any parametrization. By
evolving linear perturbations with initial conditions in the radiation era, we
accurately recover the quasi-static analytic approximation in the matter
dominated era. We use Planck 2013 data and a compilation of baryonic acoustic
oscillation (BAO) data to constrain the coupling to the Ricci
curvature and the other cosmological parameters. By connecting the
gravitational constant in the Einstein equation to the one measured in a
Cavendish-like experiment, we find at 95% CL with Planck 2013
and BAO data. This is the tightest cosmological constraint on and on
the corresponding derived post-Newtonian parameters. Because of a degeneracy
between and the Hubble constant , we show how larger values for
are allowed, but not preferred at a significant statistical level,
when local measurements of are combined in the analysis with Planck 2013
data.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
Cosmological constraints on induced gravity dark energy models
We study induced gravity dark energy models coupled with a simple monomial
potential and a positive exponent . These simple
potentials lead to viable dark energy models with a weak dependence on the
exponent, which characterizes the accelerated expansion of the cosmological
model in the asymptotic attractor, when ordinary matter becomes negligible. We
use recent cosmological data to constrain the coupling to the Ricci
curvature, under the assumptions that the scalar field starts at rest deep in
the radiation era and that the gravitational constant in the Einstein equations
is compatible with the one measured in a Cavendish-like experiment. By using
2015 data only, we obtain the 95 % CL bound for
, which is further tightened to by adding Baryonic
Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) data. This latter bound improves by % the
limit obtained with the 2013 data and the same compilation of BAO
data. We discuss the dependence of the and on

L’interprete traduttore nel procedimento penale italiano: quale formazione alla luce delle recenti direttive europee?
Il divario esistente tra substrato normativo e applicazione della legge in materia di assistenza linguistica in ambito penale può essere colmato attraverso interventi correttivi a livello normativo e adeguate misure in materia di formazione e di abilitazione di interpreti e traduttori. Solo professionisti formati e ufficialmente abilitati, accanto a una maggior consapevolezza degli operatori del diritto di ciò che significa interpretare e tradurre, possono garantire un’assistenza linguistica qualitativamente appropriata
Ghost Dance in 31 Movements
A kind of poetry that tries to understand contemporary social and philosophical issues as much as behaviors by rewriting in a poetic language the video artwork of some of the main representatives of modernism and postmodernism. Such poetry is deprived of confessional hues, any personal reference has to be ascribed to a mirroring effect by which the single person empathically absorbs and projects what is conveyed, be it stemming directly from the historical time of the artwork\u27s making and inherited, or alive at the time of its actual viewing. By following a restructuring process started at the beginning of the twentieth century, the writing analyzes possible ways to outline developments or to underline breaking points. Poetry is seen as an active medium within the formation of societies characterized as it is by its highly introspective power, not restricted to the individual but open to all beings perceived as members of one entity
