The physics and mathematical theory of nano-scaled ring resonators and loop antennas

This thesis is based on the realisation that no analytical theory of loop antennas and rings exists that is at once applicable to the Radio Frequency (RF), Micro-wave (MW), TeraHertz (THz), Infra-red (IR), and Optical (OR) regions. Nor is there any Electrical Engineering circuit model, rigorously developed from the results of that theory, that generates results which match numerical simulations and experimental work in the literature across all of these regimes. This thesis fills that gap. Maxwell’s equations for perfectly conducting, closed circular loops are presented, and then solved, using standard RF andMWantenna theory. The governing equation is then extended to include real, lossy metals with focus on the noble metals, gold, silver and copper. The solution to the extended equation yields results for rings in the THZ, IR and OR. Next, the governing equation is extended to include a single impedance on the periphery. The solution is studied using a capacitive reactance, in particular. These results are compared to simulations of illuminated rings with a single gap, and a relationship is developed between the width of the gap and its capacitive reactance. Primary results are these: • An analytical set of mathematical functions derived from Maxwell’s equations now exist that give the current distribution on closed and single gapped loops at all frequency regimes from the RF through OR, constructed of any metal for which the index of refraction is known. • A detailed RLC circuit model has been derived from these functions, accurate at all frequency bands, from which the total R, L and C of the loop at any frequency or wavelength, and the R, L and C of any modal resonance, can be calculated. The model yields the functions R(w), L(w), C(w) from which radiation resistance, power loss, radiation efficiency, radar cross-section, and the quality factor (Q) of any resonance can be calculated. • The input impedance of the circuit model representing the loop can be calculated as a function of wavelength for closed loops and single gap loops. • The introduction of a single gap in the periphery of a loop will cause a very high-Q resonance in the sub-wavelength region. This is due to the zero-order mode inductance of the loop resonating with a combination of the gap capacitance and the closed loop capacitance. The Q is on the order of several thousand. • Gap width and capacitance value of the gap are closely related. However, none of the simple models suggested in the literature, such as the flat-plate capacitance model, generates the correct relationship, at least for gaps in rings.
Indirect measurement method of inner wall temperature of scramjet with a state observer

A state observer-based method is developed for the indirect online measurement of the inner wall temperature using the out surface temperature and pressure of a scramjet combustor. A mathematical model is established to describe the heat transfer from gas to combustor wall and inside combustor wall as well. A proportional integral observer is developed using the mathematical model for establishing the relationship between the observed inner wall temperature and the experimentally measurable parameters, including the out surface temperature and pressure. Numerical simulations and ground experiments are carried out with a direct-connect hydrocarbon fueled scramjet combustor to prove the validity of the proportional integral observer. Test results indicate the proportional integral observer method could be used to measure the inner wall temperature of the scramjet combustor.

A wide range of services for disaster-affected communities are provided as part of emergency sheltering. Collaboration between agencies providing services is essential, but sometimes challenging. Design/methodology/approach – A wide range of services for disaster-affected communities are provided as part of emergency sheltering. Collaboration between agencies providing services is essential, but sometimes challenging. The purpose of this paper is to provide a case study of two organisations working in evacuation centres which overcame challenges to develop a constructive relationship, resulting in improved outcomes for disaster-affected people. Findings – The Preferred Sheltering Practices provides an ongoing anchor for Australian Red Cross and Environmental Health Australia (EHA) (Queensland) Inc.’s relationship and has led to other tangible benefits such as involvement in each other’s events and trainings. The relationship has become embedded in each organisation’s day-to-day business ensuring the relationship’s sustainability beyond individual staff movements. Originality/value – This case study provides an example of how collaboration can be achieved between two organisations with seemingly different mandates to improve the response for disaster-affected communities.
Interactions between groups, orbits, and cartans

Recently, we discovered that the notion of Cartan subalgebras builds bridges between C*-algebras, topological dynamics, and geometric group theory. The goal of this research project is to develop our understanding of this concept in order to attack the following major open questions:

I. The UCT question
II. The Baum-Connes conjecture
III. The conjugacy problem for topological shifts
IV. Quasi-isometry rigidity for polycyclic groups

UCT stands for Universal Coefficient Theorem and is a crucial ingredient in classification. I want to make progress on the open question whether sufficiently regular C*-algebras satisfy the UCT, taking my joint work with Barlak as a starting point.
The Baum-Connes conjecture predicts a K-theory formula for group C*-algebras which has far-reaching applications in geometry and algebra as it implies open conjectures of Novikov and Kaplansky. My new approach to II will be based on Cartan subalgebras and the notion of independent resolutions due to Norling and myself.
Problem III asks for algorithms deciding which shifts are topologically conjugate. It has driven a lot of research in symbolic dynamics.
Conjecture IV asserts that every group quasi-isometric to a polycyclic group must already be virtually polycyclic. A solution would be a milestone in our understanding of solvable Lie groups.
To attack III and IV, I want to develop the new notion of continuous orbit equivalence which (as I recently showed) is closely related to Cartan subalgebras.

Problems I to IV address important challenges, so that any progress will result in a major breakthrough. On top of that, my project will initiate new interactions between several mathematical areas. It is exactly the right time to develop the proposed research programme as it takes up recent breakthroughs in classification of C*-algebras, orbit equivalence for Cantor minimal systems, and measured group theory, where measure-theoretic analogues of our key concepts have been highly successful.
Impact of Time Restriction and Logistics Sprawl on Urban Freight and Environment: The Case of Beijing Agricultural Freight

Time restriction and logistics sprawl (e.g., relocating logistics facilities), as two popular urban policies, usually affect the urban freight and environmental burden, but their combination might lead to unexpected results. This paper analyzes the impact of time restriction and logistics sprawl on urban freight and local environments based on a Beijing agricultural freight case through traffic simulation. The data is derived through a freight demand forecasting method. Based on the data, this paper constructs four groups of scenarios to represent different policies (or combined policies) and then conducts macro-simulation to obtain the economic and environmental indicators. Results show that (1) time restriction can increase the freight costs and slightly decrease local emissions, while logistics sprawl can increase both costs and emissions; (2) the joint implementation of the two policies are proved to be positive in economic and environmental aspects because it helps freight carriers adopt a new strategy to improve delivery efficiency; (3) urban freight policies are closely related to the freight carriers because different responses from carriers can lead to different policy effects.
Energy landscapes from cryo-em and simulations

Proteins are dynamic entities that undergo many structural transitions and fluctuations, which are essential to their biological functions. We, therefore, need continuous descriptions of protein conformational space in the form of energy landscapes in order to properly understand their mechanisms of action. This is now becoming possible through the use of hybrid methods, which combine computational biophysics with experimental structural biology and overcome the limitations of either approach alone. In this proposal, we present a new hybrid methodology that leverages recent innovations in cryo-electron microscopy image analysis to examine continuous dynamics and free energy landscapes of large, multi-domain proteins, which are not achievable with existing methods. Our novel interdisciplinary pipeline will involve the use of efficient coarse-grained representations of proteins from computational biophysics coupled with sophisticated image processing tools including 3D reconstruction, classification, and dimensionality reduction. The specific objective is to extract reaction coordinates from 3D class averages and use them to generate conformational landscapes onto which the raw 2D images can be mapped. The resulting free energy landscapes will reveal all conformational states with physiological relevance and the preferred transition pathways, which can be analysed further using molecular dynamics simulations. We will apply our pipeline to ionotropic glutamate receptors, which are tetrameric ligand-gated ion channels with large, dynamic, multi-domain architectures that are critical to synaptic transmission and plasticity in the mammalian central nervous system. We expect our results to be of great benefit to the broad structural biology community and to be instrumental in understanding brain physiology and designing treatments for a wide range of diseases.

The International Committee on the Christian Approach to the Jews and its role in ecumenical Protestant understanding of Antisemitism and the Jewish problem during the Hitler years

This thesis describes a framework of ecumenical Protestant aspirations for world expansion of Jewish evangelization in the years before, during, and after Nazi extermination of European Jewry. It uses extensive archival documentation to reconstruct and analyze the developmental path of the International Committee on the Christian Approach to the Jews from inception in 1927 to its major collaboration on the World Council of Churches founding statement on Jews, antisemitism, and Jewish conversion in 1948. It examines the centrally informing role of the Jewish problem on a landscape of ideas, perceptions, and beliefs which ground organizational theories about relations between the Jewish problem, escalating antisemitism, and what was deemed to be a Christian imperative to evangelize Jews. The research unfolds around textual analysis of two categories of key texts in five chronologically structured chapters: ideas about Jews, the Jewish question, antisemitism, and Jewish missions, in the first, and protests against Nazi persecution of Jews, in the second. The study tracks and analyzes developing trends and patterns in organizational thought as well as cross-connections and cross-influence between key ecumenical leaders in order to explain why this principal rallying body for ecumenical emphasis on conversion of Jews was, by the eve of Hitler's rise, also the self-proclaimed 'responsible' body for making known to Protestant audiences the causes of discrimination, prejudice and race-hatred. The thesis examines the presences and absences of official ecumenical voices on behalf of Jews from 1933 to the end of the war, as well as the background internal dynamics of arriving at official organizational responses to the escalating persecution of Jews. It examines in detail the collaborative effort which led from a 1927 International Missionary Conference in Budapest and Warsaw to the 1948 World Council of Churches statement that called attention, in the embers of the Holocaust, to the continuing existence of a people who did not acknowledge Christ.
Towards a new eu-lac partnership in research infrastructures

EU-LAC ResInfra will identify a number of Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Research Infrastructures (RIs) that may be considered eligible for the construction of a bi-regional collaboration. This will be carried out through the definition of minimal key requirements these RIs would need to develop in the coming years. To this aim, the Project will build on the prioritisation results of the EU-CELAC Senior Official Meeting on Science and Technology (SOM) Working Group (WG) on Research Infrastructures (RI) and, more specifically, will take as a reference the mapping exercises developed in previous EU funded projects. In addition, EU-LAC ResInfra will develop a map of National and Regional Research Infrastructure policies, and their corresponding strategies and plans, including funding mechanisms that might be used to support the construction and operation of future EU-LAC RIs. 

Furthermore, EU-LAC ResInfra will use all the results and information obtained for drafting a Sustainability Plan, which will be presented to the EU-CELAC WG RI for discussion and endorsement. The Plan will include specific actions to support the bi-regional collaboration in a mid-term perspective. The objectives are to design specific variable geometry instruments for co-funding RIs of common interest, and to design measures that pursue the strengthening of the bi-regional RI cooperation, seeking to maximise the impact of the RI collaboration in the construction of the EU-CELAC Common Research Area. 

Finally, the Project aims to show the feasibility of the EU-LAC RI collaboration through existing examples, thanks to the development of four Pilots in different scientific domains that are linked to some existing Research Infrastructures: INSTRUCT-ERIC, LIFEWATCH-ERIC, E-RIHS and RICAP.

GENOMICS IN THE LIGHT OF EVOLUTIONARY TRANSITIONS

Molecular biology has entrenched the gene as the basic hereditary unit and genomes are often considered little more than collections of genes. However, new concepts and genomic data have emerged, which suggest that the genome has a unique place in the hierarchy of life. Despite this, a framework for the genome as a major evolutionary transition has not been fully developed. Instead, genome origin and evolution are frequently considered as a series of neutral or nonadaptive events. In this article, we argue for a Darwinian multilevel selection interpretation for the origin of the genome. We base our arguments on the multilevel selection theory of hypercycles of cooperative interacting genes and predictions that gene-level trade-offs in viability and reproduction can help drive evolutionary transitions. We consider genomic data involving mobile genetic elements as a test case of our view. A new concept of the genome as a discrete evolutionary unit emerges and the gene-genome juncture is positioned as a major evolutionary transition in individuality. This framework offers a fresh perspective on the origin of macromolecular life and sets the scene for a new, emerging line of inquiry--the evolutionary ecology of the genome.
Living with radiation: the role of the international atomic energy agency in the history of radiation protection

This project addresses the central question of how the International Atomic Energy Agency, a diplomatic and political international organization, came to dominate scientific institutions with a long tradition in radiation protection. Despite the importance of international organizations for the development of postwar science there is no work on the history of radiation protection in relation to the development of the IAEA. The project addresses this lacuna in a groundbreaking way: it analyses what is usually treated as a strictly techno-scientific issue—how best to protect us from ionized radiation—using methods from history, philosophy, and sociology of science, and in the context of international history. The main hypothesis is that scientific knowledge about radiation protection has been shaped by diplomatic, social, economic, and political concerns. This approach casts new light on important aspects of postwar history of science, combining attention to state actors, science diplomacy, and the roles played by international organizations. Given the enormous interest in radiation protection the time is ripe for providing a comprehensive social, historical, and political study of the role of the IAEA in the field. 
The main objectives of the project are: 
• to retrace the international history of radiation protection after World War II, focusing especially on the Technical Assistance Programs of the IAEA; 
• to investigate the role of the IAEA in sponsoring knowledge production in the field of radiation protection in competition with other regulatory agencies; and
• to analyze the standardization of instruments, objects, procedures, and technical vocabulary as the main strategy used by the IAEA for guiding radiation protection worldwide.
The project advocates a ""diplomatic turn"": diplomacy becomes analytical category in history of science. Highly interdisciplinary it brings together expertise from several disciplines, promising a significant advancement across them.
Accelerated expansion of the Universe without an inflaton and resolution of the initial singularity from Group Field Theory condensates

We study the expansion of the Universe using an effective Friedmann equation obtained from the dynamics of GFT (Group Field Theory) isotropic condensates. The evolution equations are classical, with quantum correction terms to the Friedmann equation given in the form of effective fluids coupled to the emergent classical background. The occurrence of a bounce, which resolves the initial spacetime singularity, is shown to be a general property of the model. A promising feature of this model is the occurrence of an era of accelerated expansion, without the need to introduce an inflaton field with an appropriately chosen potential. We discuss possible viability issues of this scenario as an alternative to inflation.
Trust-Aware Information Dissemination in Social Network

Information dissemination security is a crucial factor for social network interaction. In this paper, we present a trust-aware information dissemination algorithm for social network in order to make the nodes transmitting more trustable information. Firstly, we propose information trust computation from two aspects: entity trust of information and source trust. Two above aspects can be integrated into whole trust of information. Likewise, we propose the trust relationship comutation method among nodes. Further, we present a multiple paths trust computation method (MPTC) for information dissmination in social network. Then, we address the trust-aware information dissemination algorithm (TIDA) based on above trust computaiton. Finally, our experiments show that TIDA is a feasible and effective solution for social network information dissemination.
