title: Accelerator-based neutron sources for condensed matter research - Cockcroft Institute Lectures 2015
Creators: name: Fernandez-Alonso, F
Publisher: name: Science and Technology Facilities Council
Year: 2016

description: These lectures provide a self-contained introduction to the use of accelerator-based neutron sources for condensed matter research. In their present form, they were first given in 2015 as part of the Applications of Accelerators graduate course at the Cockcroft Institute of Accelerator Science & Technology, Daresbury Laboratory, United Kingdom. They also build on previous teaching materials prepared for the graduate curriculum of the The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science at the University of Oxford. The first lecture is primarily concerned with neutron production. It sets the scene by reviewing the merits and strengths of neutron-scattering as a condensed-matter probe. It then explains the reasons behind the increasing use of accelerator technology to this and other ends, including muon production. A number of recent and ongoing projects around the globe to develop both small- and large-scale accelerator-driven neutron facilities are described, alongside emerging concepts aimed at the optimisation of neutron production for specific scientific applications. The second lecture provides an overview of condensed matter research with neutrons across a number of disciplines in science and engineering. Key concepts are illustrated using recent case studies primarily carried out at the ISIS Pulsed Neutron & Muon Source, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, United Kingdom. We close by presenting a number of opportunities on the horizon, in order to address emerging research trends in condensed matter and stimulate further work in the field of accelerator science.

title: Home-grown school feeding and poverty reduction: understanding actors’ perspectives in Malawi
Creators: name: Miki, Gilbert Ngwaneh
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: Home-Grown School Feeding (HGSF) is known to have a multisectoral impact dimension, 
impacting on multiple Sustainable Development Goals. As such, this study examined the 
contribution of HGSF to poverty reduction among smallholder farmers in Malawi. The study 
utilised a hybrid approach, involving quantitative and qualitative methods with smallholder Farmer 
Organisations (FOs) in Mangochi, Phalombe and Salima districts. Key informant interviews 
(n=20), in-depth interviews with smallholder farmers (n=40) and surveys (n=153) were conducted, 
and secondary data reviewed to support the findings. The study found that though school feeding 
started in Malawi in 1999, HGSF was introduced a decade later; following the 2007 Presidential 
Directive. The study noted the existence of various HGSF models, raising both theoretical and 
practical questions around conceptual framing. Thus, the research points to the fact that HGSF is 
not a one-size-fits-all concept, and that its impact on poverty reduction is a function of the effective 
participation of smallholder farmers. The study revealed critical gaps in smallholder farmer 
participation including issues of procurement governance and capacity. The study, however, 
established a positive correlation between HGSF and poverty reduction, highlighting the evident 
impact on household incomes, food security, dietary diversity and consumption patterns, and 
agricultural production. In addition, the study revealed fundamental impacts on health, education, 
and infrastructure for smallholders, all attributable to their participation in the HGSF programme. 
The study also found that school feeding in Malawi is embedded in multiple policy/institutional 
frameworks but fragmented and lacking in implementation and practice. This points to the 
importance of a robust policy framework specific to school feeding for Malawi to ease concerted 
and coordinated efforts across development partners involved in school feeding. With increased 
political interest, school feeding and HGSF in particular is seen as a sensible and effective 
investment tool for poverty reduction especially for children and smallholder farmers in Malawi.

description: We report on an update of the test on the rotation of the plane of linear polarization for light traveling over cosmological distances, using a comparison between the measured direction of the UV polarization in 8 radio galaxies at z>2 and the direction predicted by the model of scattering of anisotropic nuclear radiation, which explains the polarization. No rotation is detected within a few degrees for each galaxy and, if the rotation does not depend on direction, then the all-sky-average rotation is constrained to be θ= -0.8 +/- 2.2. We discuss the relevance of this result for constraining cosmological birefringence, when this is caused by the interaction with a cosmological pseudo-scalar field or by the presence of a Cherns-Simons term.

description: We study Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity models in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime which admit the Reissner-Nordstrom (RN) black hole solution. We show that below a critical temperature the AdS-RN solution becomes unstable against scalar perturbations and the gravitational system undergoes a phase transition. We show using numerical calculations that the new phase is a charged dilatonic black hole. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we discuss the phase transition in the dual field theory both for non-vanishing temperatures and in the extremal limit. The extremal solution has a Lifshitz scaling symmetry. We discuss the optical conductivity in the new dual phase and find interesting behavior at low frequencies where it shows a "Drude peak". The resistivity varies with temperature in a non-monotonic way and displays a minimum at low temperatures which is reminiscent of the celebrated Kondo effect.

description: JournalViewer is a graphical desktop application which allows run data for any ISIS instrument to be easily viewed and interrogated, by parsing the relevant XML data available on the local network. It provides at-a-glance information on the title, timing, and user information associated to each run, which can be sorted, grouped by RB number or user ownership, and filtered according to several criteria. Moreover, JournalViewer also parses sample environment data contained with the log or nxs files associated with each run, and allows any logged value to be plotted as a function of time. JournalViewer can also work on ‘offline’ data stored in local directories, extracting run information in order to (re)create a bespoke journal file, permitting users to make use of the program at their home institutions.

description: Continuing the program begun by the authors in a previous paper, we develop an exact low-density expansion for the random minimum spanning tree (MST) on a finite graph, and use it to develop a continuum perturbation expansion for the MST on critical percolation clusters in space dimension d. The perturbation expansion is proved to be renormalizable in d=6 dimensions. We consider the fractal dimension D_p of paths on the latter MST; our previous results lead us to predict that D_p=2 for d>d_c=6. Using a renormalization-group approach, we confirm the result for d>6, and calculate D_p to first order in ε=6-d for d\leq 6 using the connection with critical percolation, with the result D_p = 2 - ε/7 + O(ε^2).

description: We demonstrate that a massive asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star is a good candidate as the main source of short-lived radionuclides in the early solar system. Recent identification of massive (4-8 solar masses) AGB stars in the Galaxy, which are both lithium- and rubidium-rich, demonstrates that these stars experience proton captures at the base of the convective envelope (hot bottom burning), together with high-neutron density nucleosynthesis with 22Ne as a neutron source in the He shell and efficient dredge-up of the processed material. A model of a 6.5 solar masses star of solar metallicity can simultaneously match the abundances of 26Al, 41Ca, 60Fe, and 107Pd inferred to have been present in the solar nebula by using a dilution factor of 1 part of AGB material per 300 parts of original solar nebula material, and taking into account a time interval between injection of the short-lived nuclides and consolidation of the first meteorites equal to 0.53 Myr. Such a polluting source does not overproduce 53Mn, as supernova models do, and only marginally affects isotopic ratios of stable elements. It is usually argued that it is unlikely that the short-lived radionuclides in the early solar system came from an AGB star because these stars are rarely found in star forming regions, however, we think that further interdisciplinary studies are needed to address the fundamental problem of the birth of our solar system.

description: Age-related changes in the patterns of local relatedness (kinship dynamics) can be a significant selective force for shaping the evolution of life history and social behaviour. In humans and some species of toothed whales, average female relatedness increases with age which can select for a prolonged post-reproductive lifespan in older females due to both the costs of reproductive conflict and the benefits of late-life helping of kin. Killer whales (Orcinus orca) provide a valuable system for exploring social dynamics related to such costs and benefits in a mammal with an extended post-reproductive female lifespan. We use >40 years of demographic data to investigate the opportunities for helping and harming in the mammal-eating Bigg's killer whale by quantifying how mother-offspring social relationships change with offspring age. Our results suggest a high degree of male philopatry and female-biased budding dispersal in Bigg's killer whales, with some variability in the dispersal rate for both sexes. These patterns of dispersal provide opportunities for late-life helping of particularly adult sons, while partly mitigating the costs of mother-daughter reproductive conflict. This is an important step towards understanding the evolution of menopause in the few species it occurs.

description: Demographic and association data has been collected on Bigg's killer whales off the West coast of Canada and the USA between 1972 and 2020. Individuals have been identified using photo identification using the unique markings on the whales. For the analysis, the data has been combined between data collected by DFO and CWR. Attributes, where known, were added for each individual in the data. Three separate analyses were run, and for each, the data was formatted to either be a group-by-individual matrix or a list with the denominator and numerator for the simple ratio index for all possible dyads in each year of the data and finally a data frame where each row refers to the association between a mother and offspring, including the age and sex of the offspring.

description: Effect of effluents from Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Company (KRPC), Nigeria Breweries (BREWY), and CHELLCO (Blanket manufacturing Company) on Compressive and Flexural Strength of two (2) grades (25 and 30) of concrete were investigated. This is an attempt to understand the possible influence of industrial effluent on the quality of concrete as obtainable in a nearby downstream settlement. Samples of effluent contaminated water were collected at approximately 2km from the point of discharge into each of the rivers. A total of ninety (90) 150 mm 𝑥 150mm 𝑥 150 mm cubes were cast for compressive strength, 45 cubes for each grade. All cubes were mixed and cured using the effluent contaminated water. The 30 cubes were cast for the flexural test. In each case, the comparison is made with a control sample mixed and cured with tap water. Analysis of the chemical composition of the samples was conducted and compared with Nigeria Standard, while both compressive and flexural strength were tested for a maximum of 56 days. The compressive strength of Grade 25 concrete indicates a favourable influence on compressive strength at 21, 28, and 56days, respectively, for the three (3) samples considered. Also, an appreciable increase in compressive Strength was recorded at 7days for Grade 30 when compared with the control sample (tap water).
Consistent massive truncations of IIB supergravity on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds

description: Recent work on holographic superconductivity and gravitational duals of systems with non-relativistic conformal symmetry have made use of consistent truncations of D=10 and D=11 supergravity retaining some massive modes in the Kaluza-Klein tower. In this paper we focus on reductions of IIB supergravity to five dimensions on a Sasaki-Einstein manifold, and extend these previous truncations to encompass the entire bosonic sector of gauged D=5, N=2 supergravity coupled to massive multiplets up to the second Kaluza-Klein level. We conjecture that a necessary condition for the consistency of massive truncations is to only retain the lowest modes in the massive trajectories of the Kaluza-Klein mode decomposition of the original fields. This is an extension of the well-known result that consistent truncations may be obtained by restricting to the singlet sector of the internal symmetry group.

Several problems in extremal and probabilistic combinatorics
Creators: name: Yap, Corrine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: This thesis consists of four parts, each on a different problem in extremal or probabilistic combinatorics. Chapters 2 and 3 center around hypergraph versions of foundational problems in extremal combinatorics. Chapter 4 concerns algorithmic and structural results for a probabilistic model motivated by statistical physics, and Chapter 5 details the use of a statistical physics technique to tackle a problem in discrete probability. In Chapter 2, we study the Turán exponent for k-dimensional homogeneous simplicial complexes and give the first lower bound that depends only on dimension. We do this by reducing to a combinatorial statement that bounds the Turán exponent for d-trace-bounded hypergraphs, strengthening a result by Conlon, Fox, and Sudakov on degenerate trace-bounded hypergraphs In Chapter 3, we answer a question of Conlon, Fox, and Rödl by constructing a family of k-uniform hypergraphs whose 2-color Ramsey number is at most polynomial in the number of vertices but whose q-color Ramsey number, for some q = q(k), is at least a tower of height log log k. We do this by proving new versions of the classical Erdős--Hajnal stepping-up lemma for multicolored hypergraph Ramsey numbers. In Chapter 4, we focus on a problem in statistical physics related to the Potts model. We characterize both the high-temperature and low-temperature structure of the model on regular edge-expanding graphs, where high and low temperature are defined with respect to the order-disorder threshold for the random d-regular graph. This allows us to prove the existence of efficient counting and sampling algorithms at almost all temperatures. Our main tools include an adaptation of Karger's randomized algorithm for computing min-cuts and a container-like lemma, combined with an application of cluster expansion to appropriately-defined abstract polymer models. In Chapter 5, we prove the existence of an almost-sharp threshold for reconstructing a random binary grid from the collection of its subgrids of a fixed size k. For small k, we use a straightforward entropy argument to prove the grid is not reconstructible with high probability. For large k, we produce an algorithm for reconstruction and prove that the probability the algorithm fails tends to 0 as n approaches infinity by using an adaptation of Peierls' contour method.

description: We calculate the two-qubit disentanglement due to classical random telegraph noise using the quasi-Hamiltonian method. This allows us to obtain analytical results even for strong coupling and mixed noise, important when the qubits have tunable working point. We determine when entanglement sudden death and revival occur as functions of qubit working point, noise coupling strength and initial state entanglement. For extended Werner states, we show that the concurrence is related to the difference of two functions: one is related to dephasing and the other longitudinal relaxation. A physical intepretation based on the generalized Bloch vector is given: revival only occurs for strongly-coupled noise and comes from the angular motion of the vector.

description: HD 49798 is a hydrogen depleted subdwarf O6 star and has an X-ray pulsating companion (RX J0648.0-4418). The X-ray pulsating companion is a massive white dwarf. Employing Eggleton's stellar evolution code with the optically thick wind assumption, we find that the hot subdwarf HD 49798 and its X-ray pulsating companion could produce a type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in future evolution. This implies that the binary system is a likely candidate of SN Ia progenitors. We also discussed the possibilities of some other WD + He star systems (e.g. V445 Pup and KPD 1930+2752) for producing SNe Ia.

title: Collaborative dialogue and deliberative communication: Reading circles with Young Adult novels and adolescent learners of English as a Second Language
Creators: name: Strobel, Madeleine
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: Learning a second language (L2) requires extensive input, and interaction in the target language can allow learners to notice and adjust their language use. Pedagogical activities that involve small-group discussions around literary texts have the potential to provide such learning opportunities. There is limited empirical research in the fields of L2 learning and teaching, however reader response research demonstrates that in-depth exploration of interpretations can be facilitated and suggests that critical pedagogies where learners act as problem-posers and problem-solvers may facilitate democratic dialogue (Short, 2011). This interdisciplinary shared goal of negotiation of meaning follows the Education 2030’s (UNESCO, 2016) global aims of furthering democracy. This qualitative study aims to provide insights into how reading circles can facilitate opportunities for interaction in L2 English and responses to literary texts. Data was generated from classroom observations and transcripts of audio recordings of learner-led reading circles with roles, Young Adult (YA) novels, and adolescent learners of English as a Second Language at a Swedish middle school. Selected purposively to draw insights from established communicative practices, this school implements reading circles regularly with their L2 English learners. Framed by sociocultural theory and the concept of languaging (Swain & Watanabe, 2013), the iterative linguistic and reader response analysis generated an analytical framework that draws on findings from Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research and reader response studies with picturebooks and younger learners. Main findings demonstrate how the learners co-constructed collaborative dialogue that involved appropriation of lexis and selfand other-repair of form, lexis, and narrative details. Supporting previous SLA research, this suggests how learner-led reading circles can provide opportunities for noticing form and lexis and adjustment of language in interaction. It also contributes to understanding how they can allow for negotiation of narrative details and regulation of reading comprehension. Adding to reader response research with adolescent L2 learners and YA novels, a typology of responses was developed that demonstrate how the learners made intertextual links within the novels and between the novels and their own narratives of life. This contributes to the discussion of the potential of literary texts to foster empathy by providing insights into how the learners drew on emotional responses to express compassion for or reject the characters’ actions. In sum, the learners’ interactions and negotiation of meaning suggest they were involved in deliberative communication, a pedagogical pursuit that aims to facilitate democratic processes (Englund, 2006).

description: The article considers the nature and some mechanical properties of corrosionresistant metallizing steel coatings produced out of 13% chromium wires. The carbon is confirmed to influence on the phase composition, hardness, adhesion strength of the coating to the substrate, elasticity module and bending strength of the coating material. The authors estimated a relative wear resistance of sprayed coatings under abrasive friction. They showed the data on the adhesion strength and elasticity module of the coating depending on the carbon content in the 13% Chr wires. The difference in the adhesion strength of the coatings can be explained by quenching processes during spraying and the variability of the elastic module of the applied material.

description: We study theoretically the in-flight ($K^-,N$) reactions for the formation of light kaonic nuclear systems to get deeper physical insights on the expected spectra, and to investigate the experimental feasibility of the reaction at new facilities like J-PARC. We show the expected spectra for the formation of the $K^-pp, K^-pn$, $K^-nn$ and $K^-$-$^{11}$B systems which are accessible by the ($K^-,N$) experiments. By considering the conversion part of the Green's function, we can show the missing mass spectra of the ($K^-,N$) reactions coincidence with the particle emissions due to ${\bar K}$ absorption in ${\bar K}N\to πY$ processes. To calculate the cross sections, we use the so-called $Tρ$ approximation to evaluate the optical potential. As for the amplitude $T$, we adopt the chiral unitary amplitude of ${\bar K}N$ channel in vacuum for simplicity, and we also check the medium effects by applying the chiral amplitude at finite density. The effects of the p-wave optical potential of $Σ$(1385) channel and the contribution from ${\bar K^0}$ mixing in $^3$He($K^-,n$) reaction are also evaluated numerically. To understand the meanings of the spectrum shape, we also study the behavior of the poles of kaon Green's function in nuclear matter. We conclude that $^3$He($K^-,n$) and $^3$He($K^-,p$) reactions coincident with the $πΣ$ emission due to ${\bar K}$ absorption may show the certain structure in the bound region spectra indicating the existence of the unstable kaonic nuclear bound states. As for the $^{12}$C($K^-,p$) spectra with the $πΣ$ emission, we may also observe the structure in the bound region, however, we need to evaluate the medium effects carefully for larger nuclei.

title: Impact of LRRK2 kinase activation and inhibition in vivo and in vitro

description: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized in part by a loss of dopamine neurons in the Substantia Nigra and affects the nigrostriatal pathway. Mutations in the gene encoding leucine�rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) have been found to cause late onset PD through a gain of function of its kinase domain. Thus, LRRK2 has become an intriguing candidate for therapeutic intervention by kinase inhibition. While preclinical studies have shown that ablating the kinase activity of wildtype LRRK2 is safe with a mild and reversible lung phenotype, the molecular effects of chronic LRRK2 inhibition have not been examined in the context of mutant LRRK2. Using the potent LRRK2 kinase-specific inhibitor, Merck LRRK2 inhibitor 2 (MLi�2), hyperactive G2019S LRRK2 was reduced to wildtype levels chronically in G2019S knock-in (KI) mice and autophosphorylation of LRRK2 and phosphorylation of direct substrates Rab10, Rab12, and Rab29 was assessed. Unbiased total and phospho-proteomics revealed alterations in endolysosomal proteins similar to those found in LRRK2 knockout (KO) animals after 10 weeks of treatment. LRRK2 has been shown to play roles in a number of pathways within the endolysosomal system and studies have reported LRRK2 presence on many organelles from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the lysosome. Based on the current study’s proteomic results, eight different trap plasmids were generated to evaluate LRRK2 kinase activity at distinct endolysosomal membranes. As a result, LRRK2 kinase activity was found to be enhanced after being trapped to all membranes and downstream Rab10 and Rab12 phosphorylation were increased in vitro, but recruitment of these Rabs revealed differential patterns in localization specifically when targeting LRRK2 on lysosomes compared to other membranes. Evaluation of lysosomal position through manipulation of various motor proteins showed phosphorylated Rab10 was preferentially restricted to a subset of perinuclear lysosomes, whereas pRab12 was present at most LRRK2-positive lysosomes regardless of their position. This is the first study to examine the molecular underpinnings of chronic LRRK2 inhibition in a preclinical in vivo PD model and highlights cellular pathways that may be influenced by therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring LRRK2 physiological activity in PD patients. Complementary in vitro data provides novel insight into the differences in LRRK2-dependent Rab localization that can help elucidate the role of LRRK2 at the lysosome which may be relevant to PD pathogenesis. The work presented in this thesis additionally contributes to our knowledge on the utility of pS1292 LRRK2 and pS106 Rab12 as robust biomarkers of both kinase hyperactivity and inhibition in G2019S LRRK2 KI mice in brain and peripheral tissues that is worth assessment in patients with PD harboring the G2019S mutation.

Prescribing Errors

description: Introduction Pharmacists play an important role in identifying prescribing errors, and are often viewed as the “safety net” for patients in many healthcare settings. 1 However, their ability in correctly detecting errors is not well understood. We investigated the ability of pharmacists in detecting prescribing errors, and whether feedback improved their ability to do so. Methodology A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a proportionate random sample of 18 public specialist hospitals, district hospitals, and health clinics in Perak. The study population was pharmacists involved in dispensing medications at the paediatric outpatient setting. A pharmacist was appointed at each site to review prescriptions of patients aged 12 years and below. Prescription data were collected monthly, and feedback was provided to pharmacists following data collection at baseline, and the third month of the study (Fig. 1). We considered both commission and omission errors (Box 1). Changes in the % prescriptions with errors missed by pharmacists were compared between baseline and third month, and end of study. Results [Refer to Poster]. Discussion / Conclusion With the expanding number and complexity of medications, pharmacists’ roles and responsibilities have expanded broadly. Pharmacists must not be assumed as a complete safety net to prevent prescribing errors. Feedback in the form of league tables were effective in improving error detection by pharmacists. Policymakers should consider the implementation of sentinel monitoring methods with active feedback3 in the health system to monitor staff performance and ensure patient safety.
