title: THE PROFESSIONAL IDENTITIES OF ELLEN WOOD (1814-1887)
Creators: name: Holland, C
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis is a study of the writing life of Ellen Wood (1816-1887), the popular Victorian writer best known for her 1861 bestseller, East Lynne. Through its focus on Wood’s publishing history, this thesis investigates how the professional identities and authorial strategies adopted by Wood throughout her long and successful career contributed to her success as a popular woman writer in a competitive periodical and literary marketplace. The study is organised chronologically and splits Wood’s literary career into seven parts. The first chapter considers Wood’s anonymous contributions to mid-century periodicals and considers how text-associated signature provided an opportunity to work within the constraints of the house style of a periodical while also building a literary identity. The second chapter accounts Wood’s transition from the lowly paid periodical contributor to the more lucrative form of the novel and outlines the early formation of the ‘Mrs. Henry Wood’ brand. The third and fourth chapters cover the period immediately following the astronomical success of East Lynne and identify two specific phases where there is a noticeable shift in Wood’s literary and publishing strategies which I have coined the ‘prolific’ and ‘strategic’ phases of her career. The fifth chapter concerns itself with her editorship of the Argosy magazine, which she also owned for a time, and the sixth chapter considers the significance of Wood’s masculine identities, particularly in contrast to the overt femininity of her famous ‘Mrs. Henry Wood’ brand. The final chapter considers Wood’s literary legacy and asks how much it contributed to her condemnation as the ‘conservative sensationalist’ which rendered her insignificant for many years of academic research until the resurgence of interest in popular fiction writers in the 1970s. Wood’s importance as a successful Victorian writer identifies her as a significant case study in Victorian literary history and her manipulation of authorial identity reveals much about the necessity of strategy in Victorian publishing. Overall, this thesis argues that Wood’s manipulation of authorial and professional identities to achieve success in a competitive literary marketplace allows her to expose the cultural boundaries imposed on writers, and particularly women writers, even if her conservative persona and popular status prevented her from truly challenging them. A study of Wood as a significant figure in nineteenth-century publishing history spans multiple aspects of Victorian research making her deserving of single-author study.

Ennek árfelhajtó hatása befolyásolhatja egyrészt a biohajtóanyag-előállítás gazdaságosságát, másrészt az állattenyésztésben és az élelmiszeriparban feszültségeket eredményezhet. Érdemes tehát megvizsgálni, hogy milyenek a lehetőségek és a korlátok a biohajtóanyagok inputjában. - If all planned bio-ethanol and bio-diesel plants are built, Hungary will be able to produce 2.6-3 million tons of bio-ethanol and 400 thousands tons of bio-diesel in a year. This amount is far more than the country needs for the 5.75% bio-fuel content of her petrol or diesel consumption required by 2010. On the long run significant imports will be necessary to satisfy input requirements. This will cause price hikes, which may influence the profitability of bio-fuel production and introduce tensions in agricultural sections such as animal husbandry and the food industry. Therefore it is worthwhile to examine the opportunities and limits in bio-fuel production.

description: The 2004 Dec. 27 giant Gamma-ray flare detected from the magnetar SGR 1806-20 created an expanding radio nebula which we have monitored with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Very Large Array. These data indicate that there was an increase in the observed flux ~25 days after the initial flare that lasted for ~8 days, which we believe is the result of ambient material swept-up and shocked by this radio nebula. For a distance to SGR 1806-20 of 15 kpc, using the properties of this rebrightening we infer that the initial blast wave was dominated by baryonic material of mass M>10^{24.5} g. For an initial expansion velocity v~0.7c (as derived in an accompanying paper), we infer this material had an initial kinetic energy E>10^{44.5} ergs. If this material originated from the magnetar itself, it may have emitted a burst of ultra-high energy (E > 1 TeV) neutrinos far brighter than that expected from other astrophysical sources.

description: This paper explores the problem of hyperspectral image (HSI) super-resolution that merges a low resolution HSI (LR-HSI) and a high resolution multispectral image (HR-MSI). The cross-modality distribution of the spatial and spectral information makes the problem challenging. Inspired by the classic wavelet decomposition-based image fusion, we propose a novel \textit{lightweight} deep neural network-based framework, namely progressive zero-centric residual network (PZRes-Net), to address this problem efficiently and effectively. Specifically, PZRes-Net learns a high resolution and \textit{zero-centric} residual image, which contains high-frequency spatial details of the scene across all spectral bands, from both inputs in a progressive fashion along the spectral dimension. And the resulting residual image is then superimposed onto the up-sampled LR-HSI in a \textit{mean-value invariant} manner, leading to a coarse HR-HSI, which is further refined by exploring the coherence across all spectral bands simultaneously. To learn the residual image efficiently and effectively, we employ spectral-spatial separable convolution with dense connections. In addition, we propose zero-mean normalization implemented on the feature maps of each layer to realize the zero-mean characteristic of the residual image. Extensive experiments over both real and synthetic benchmark datasets demonstrate that our PZRes-Net outperforms state-of-the-art methods to a \textit{significant} extent in terms of both 4 quantitative metrics and visual quality, e.g., our PZRes-Net improves the PSNR more than 3dB, while saving 2.3$\times$ parameters and consuming 15$\times$ less FLOPs.

description: We present an approximation scheme to solve the Non Perturbative Renormalization Group equations and obtain the full momentum dependence of the $n$-point functions. It is based on an iterative procedure where, in a first step, an initial ansatz for the $n$-point functions is constructed by solving approximate flow equations derived from well motivated approximations. These approximations exploit the derivative expansion and the decoupling of high momentum modes. The method is applied to the O($N$) model. In leading order, the self energy is already accurate both in the perturbative and the scaling regimes. A stringent test is provided by the calculation of the shift $ΔT_c$ in the transition temperature of the weakly repulsive Bose gas, a quantity which is particularly sensitive to all momentum scales. The leading order result is in agreement with lattice calculations, albeit with a theoretical uncertainty of about 25%.

description: In this paper we use the hybrid integrated model WITCH to quantify and analyze the investments and financial flows stimulated by a climate policy to stabilize Greenhouse Gases concentrations at 550ppm CO2-eq at the end of the century. We focus on investments to decarbonize the power sector and on investments in knowledge creation. We examine the financial flows associated with the carbon market and the implications for the international trade of oil. Criticalities in investment requirements will emerge when coal power plants with carbon capture and sequestration and nuclear power plants are deployed around 2020-2040, both in high and low income regions. Investments in energy related R&D increase sharply and might cause stress in the short term. However, the transition to a low-carbon world, although costly, appears to be manageable from a financial point of view. In particular, R&D financial needs can easily be accommodated using revenues from the carbon market, which is expected to eventually become more important than the oil market in terms of traded value.
Towards a more rigorous treatment of uncertainties on the velocity distribution of dark matter particles for capture in stars

description: Dark matter (DM) capture in stars offers a rich phenomenology that makes it possible to probe a wide variety of particle DM scenarios in diverse astrophysical environments. In spite of decades of improvements to refine predictions of capture-related observables and better quantify astrophysical and particle-physics uncertainties, the actual impact of the Galactic phase-space distribution function of DM has been overlooked. In this work, we tackle this problem by making use of self-consistent equilibrium phase-space models based on the Eddington inversion formalism and an extension of this method to a DM halo with some degree of anisotropy in velocity space. We demonstrate that incorrectly accounting for the variation of the DM velocity distribution with position in the Galaxy leads to a systematic error between a factor two and two orders of magnitude, depending in particular on the target star, the DM candidate mass and the type of interaction involved. Moreover, we show that underlying phase-space properties, such as the anisotropy of the velocity tensor, actually play an important part -- previously disregarded -- and can have a sizable impact on predictions of capture rates and subsequent observables. We argue that Eddington-like methods, which self-consistently account for kinematic constraints on the components of the Galaxy, actually provide a reliable next-to-minimal approach to narrow down uncertainties from phase-space modeling on predictions of observables related to DM capture in stars.

description: In the paper, we study fluctuations over several ensembles of maximum-entropy random networks. We derive several fluctuation-dissipation relations characterizing susceptibilities of different networks to changes in external fields. In the case of networks with a given degree sequence, we argue that the scale-free topologies of real-world networks may arise as a result of self-organization of real systems into sparse structures with low susceptibility to random external perturbations. We also show that the ensembles of networks with noninteracting links (both uncorrelated and with two-point correlations) are equivalent to random networks with hidden variables.

It is based on Pound-Drever-Hall laser frequency locking, using radio-frequency phase modulation sidebands to derive an error signal from the complex optical response, near resonance, of a Fabry-Perot interferometer. We examine how modulation frequency and resonance bandwidth affect this error signal. Experimental results are presented that demonstrate when the laser is locked, this method detects differential phase shifts in the optical carrier relative to its sidebands, due to minute fiber optical path displacements.

description: Spin and charge are two interrelated properties of electrons. However, most of previous works on topological matter study the electronic and magnonic excitations separately. In this paper, by combining density functional theory calculations with the Schwinger boson method, we determine the topological electronic band structures and topological magnon spectrum simultaneously in the ferromagnetic ground state of the narrow-band-gap CoCu3(OH)6Cl2, which is an ABC stacking Kagome lattice material with fractional occupancy on Cu sites. This material provides an ideal platform to study the interplay of different types of topological excitations. Our work also proposes a useful method to deal with correlated topological magnetic systems with narrow band gaps.

description: Fear for oil exhaustion and its consequences on economic growth has been a driver of a rich literature on exhaustible resources from the 1970s onwards. But our view on oil has remarkably changed and we now worry how we should constrain climate change damages associated with oil and other fossil fuel use. In this climate change debate, economists have pointed to a green paradox: when policy makers stimulate the development of non-carbon energy sources to (partly) replace fossil fuels in the future, oil markets may anticipate a future reduction in demand and increase current supply. The availability of ‘green’ technologies may increase damages. The insight comes from the basic exhaustible resource model. We reproduce the green paradox and to facilitate discussion differentiate between a weak and a strong version, related to short-term and long-term effects, respectively. Then we analyze the green paradox in 2 standard modifications of the exhaustible resource model. We find that increasing fossil fuel extraction costs counteracts the strong green paradox, while with imperfect energy substitutes both the weak and strong green paradox may vanish.

description: We devise the optimal form of Gaussian resource states enabling continuous variable teleportation with maximal fidelity. We show that a nonclassical optimal fidelity of $N$-user teleportation networks is {\it necessary and sufficient} for $N$-party entangled Gaussian resources, yielding an estimator of multipartite entanglement. This {\it entanglement of teleportation} is equivalent to entanglement of formation in the two-user protocol, and to localizable entanglement in the multi-user one. The continuous-variable tangle, quantifying entanglement sharing in three-mode Gaussian states, is operationally linked to the optimal fidelity of a tripartite teleportation network.

description: We propose a simple theory of predatory pricing, based on scale economies and sequential buyers (or markets). The entrant (or prey) needs to reach a critical scale to be successful. The incumbent (or predator) is ready to make losses on earlier buyers so as to deprive the prey of the scale it needs, thus making monopoly profits on later buyers. Several extensions are considered, including markets where scale economies exist because of demand externalities or two-sided market effects, and where markets are characterised by common costs. Conditions under which predation may take place in actual cases are also discussed.

description: Using high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry, we present comprehensive human and mouse microglia proteomic datasets consisting of over 11,000 proteins across six microglia groups. Microglia share a core protein signature of over 5,600 proteins, yet fundamental differences are observed between species and culture conditions. Mouse microglia demonstrate proteome differences in inflammation- and Alzheimer's disease-associated proteins. We identify differences in the protein content of ex vivo and in vitro cells and significant proteome differences associated with protein synthesis, metabolism, microglia marker expression, and environmental sensors. Culturing microglia induces rapidly increased growth, protein content, and inflammatory protein expression. These changes are restored by engrafting in vitro cells into the brain, with xenografted human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived microglia closely resembling microglia from the human brain. These data provide an important resource for the field and highlight important considerations needed when using model systems to study human physiology and pathology of microglia.

description: We prove some generic properties for $C^r$, $r=1, 2, ..., \infty$, area-preserving diffeomorphism on compact surfaces. The main result is that the union of the stable (or unstable) manifolds of hyperbolic periodic points are dense in the surface. This extends the result of Franks and Le Calvez \cite{FL03} on $S^2$ to general surfaces. The proof uses the theory of prime ends and Lefschetz fixed point theorem.
Pedal coordinates, solar sail orbits, Dipole drive and other force problems

description: It was shown that pedal coordinates provides natural framework in which to study force problems of classical mechanics in the plane. A trajectory of a test particle under the influence of central and Lorentz-like forces can be translated into pedal coordinates at once without the need of solving any differential equation. We will generalize this result to cover more general force laws and also show an advantage of pedal coordinates in certain variational problems. These will enable us to link together many dynamical systems as well as problems of calculus of variation. Finally -- as an illustrative example -- we will apply obtained results to compute orbits of Solar sail and Dipole drive.
title: Comparative evaluation of Ising couplings, kinetic Ising couplings,and partial correlations in inferring structural connectivity
Creators: name: Kadirvelu, Balasundaram
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2018

description: The problem of inferring the structural connections from the functional connections obtained from the activity of the neuronal networks is one of the major challenges in neuroscience. Studies suggest that maximum entropy based Ising models can discount the effect of indirect interactions and provide good results in inferring the underlying structural connections in neuronal networks. Parameters of the kinetic formulation of the Ising models, kinetic Ising models, have been found to agree well with anatomical connectivity in in silico models of neuronal networks. Following this, Ising and kinetic Ising models have attracted attention in the area of connectivity studies. However, the performance of the Ising couplings and kinetic Ising couplings have not been evaluated in comparison with other functional con- nectivity metrics in the microscopic scale of neuronal networks for a varied set of network conditions and network structures. This thesis sets out to resolve this through a comparative evaluation of the ability of Ising cou- plings and kinetic Ising couplings to unravel the structural connections when compared to the widely used functional connectivity metrics of partial and cross-correlations in in silico networks. The thesis presents the finding that the network correlation level deter- mines the relative performance of the functional connectivity metrics in de- tecting the synaptic connections. At weak levels of network correlation, Ising couplings and kinetic Ising couplings yielded better performance when com- pared to partial and cross-correlations. Whereas at strong levels of network correlation, partial correlations detected more structural links when com- pared to other functional connectivity metrics in this study. This result was consistent across varying firing rates, network sizes, densities and topologies. Along with being directional and applicable in nonstationary cases, kinetic Ising couplings also displayed better performance when compared to Ising couplings. The findings of this thesis serve as a guide in selecting the right functional connectivity tool to reconstruct the structural connectivity.
A Search for Scalar Bottom Quarks from Gluino Decays in $\bar{p}p$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV

description: We searched for scalar bottom quarks in 156 pb$^{-1}$ of {\bf $\bar{p}p$} collisions at {\bf $\sqrt{s}=1.96$} TeV recorded by the CDF II experiment at the Tevatron. Scalar bottom quarks can be produced from gluino decays in R-parity conserving models of supersymmetry when the mass of the gluino exceeds that of the scalar bottom quark. Then, a scalar bottom quark can decay into a bottom quark and a neutralino. To search for this scenario, we investigated events with large missing transverse energy and at least three jets, two or more of which were identified as containing a secondary vertex from the hadronization of $b$ quarks. We found four candidate events, where $2.6\pm 0.7$ are expected from standard model processes, and placed 95% confidence level lower limits on gluino and scalar bottom quark masses of up to 280 and $240\gevm$, respectively.

description: Is tourism an opportunity for lagging countries in the elusive quest for growth (Easterly, 2002)? Recent empirical evidence suggests that the answer is a cautious yes. Aggregate cross-country data show that tourism specialization is likely to be associated with higher per capita GDP growth rates than those observed in industrialized countries. However, this evidence ignores the importance of institutional quality and results are likely to be biased by omitted variable problems. In this paper we frame our starting question within the general debate about the importance of good/bad institutions as fundamental determinants of economic growth (Acemoglu et al., 2001) and ask whether previous positive results of tourism on growth are in fact driven by the presence of growth enhancing institutions. Our empirical analysis exploits newly available datasets and controls the robustness of previous results on growth and tourism in the presence of several institutional quality variables. By means of descriptive statistics and some simple cross-country regressions we confirm that the quality of institutions is important for growth.

description: We propose models of Dark Matter that account for the 511 keV photon emission from the Galactic Centre, compatibly with experimental constraints and theoretical consistency, and where the relic abundance is achieved via p-wave annihilations or, in inelastic models, via co-annihilations. Due to the Dark Matter component that is inevitably upscattered by the Sun, these models generically predict keV electron recoils at detectors on Earth, and could naturally explain the excess recently reported by the XENON1T collaboration. The very small number of free parameters make these ideas testable by detectors like XENONnT and Panda-X, by accelerators like NA64 and LDMX, and by cosmological surveys like the Simons observatory and CMB-S4. As a byproduct of our study, we recast NA64 limits on invisibly decaying dark photons to other particles.

title: Theatre, performance and politics in Chile: the citizens’ turn
Creators: name: Gonzalez Ortiz, Camila
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2018

description: Theatre, Performance and Politics in Chile: The citizens’ turn is a revision of theatre practices in Chile over the last decade and its relationship with the country’s socio-political context. This research proposes that Chilean theatre practice in Chile have experienced a shift regarding its political dimension, a shift I have termed the citizens’ turn (Giro Ciudadano). The first section of the introductory chapter gives a description of the socio-political context and factors that have triggered the emergence of the citizens’ turn within Chilean theatre repertoire.
Remarks on the hadronic matrix elements relevant to the SUSY K-Kbar mixing amplitude

description: We compute the 1-loop chiral corrections to the bag parameters which are needed for the discussion of the SUSY K-Kbar mixing problem in both finite and infinite volume. We then show how the bag parameters can be combined among themselves and with some auxiliary quantities and thus sensibly reduce the systematic errors due to chiral extrapolations as well as those due to finite volume artefacts present in the results obtained from lattice QCD. We also show that in some cases these advantages remain as such even after including the 2-loop chiral corrections. Similar discussion is also made for the K --> pi electro-weak penguin operators.

Investigating the effect of temperature dependent many-body interactions on bulk electronic structures and the robust nature of (001) surface states of SnTe

description: Recently, SnTe has gained attention due to its non-trivial topological nature and eco-friendly thermoelectric applications. We report a detailed temperature dependent electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of this compound using DFT and GW methods. The calculated values of bandgaps by using PBEsol and $G_0W_0$ methods are found to be in good agreement with the experiment, whereas mBJ underestimates the bandgap. The estimated value of fully screened Coulomb interaction ($W$) for Sn (Te) 5$p$ orbitals is $\sim$1.39 ($\sim$1.70) eV. The nature of frequency dependent $W$ reveals that the correlation strength of this compound is relatively weaker and hence the excited electronic state can be properly studied by full-$GW$ many-body technique. The plasmon excitation is found to be important in understanding this frequency dependent $W$. In order to describe the experimental phonon modes, the long range Coulomb forces using nonanalytical term correction is considered. The temperature dependent electron-electron interactions (EEI) reduces the bandgaps with increasing temperature. The value of bandgap at 300 K is obtained to be $\sim$161 meV. The temperature dependent lifetimes of electronic state along W-L-$Γ$ direction are also estimated. This work suggests that EEI is important to explain the high temperature transport behaviour of SnTe. We have also explored the possibility of protecting the (001) surface states via mirror and time-reversal symmetry. These surface states are expected to be robust against the point and line defects.

description: Significant regional differences in food prices affect how far food stamp benefits can go toward enhancing the diet of low-income consumers in a given region. In regions where average food prices exceed the national average, food stamp benefits may not provide the same level of coverage as the same benefit would in below-average-price regions. This report measures average prices paid across U.S. regions. Results show that a household made up of a family of four in the East or West could spend $32-$48 more per month for a similar amount of food than the average U.S. household, whereas a household in the South and Midwest could spend $12-28 less per month than the average U.S. household.

description: The cost of “enough food,” estimated from the amount that low- and medium-income households in a geographic area report needing to spend to just meet their food needs, differs substantially across States and among metropolitan areas. In areas with high food costs, many food-stamp recipients are likely to have inadequate food resources to support healthy food choices.

description: The Food Stamp Program provides benefits that low-income households can use to purchase food in grocery stores. The rise in obesity has raised the question of whether food stamp participants would purchase more healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, if food stamp benefits were higher. This report examines household food spending patterns and how they differ across income levels to provide insight into how participants might change their food spending in response to additional income.

Mnemosyne. Un Trauerspiel moderno da Amburgo. In bianco e nero

description: Warburg’s inquiry does not oppose Renaissance to Baroque; on the contrary the Renaissance shows here the features of those melancholy which for Benjamin belongs to the seventeen-century “Trauerspiel”. The melancholy constellation of the past, the mirror in which – both for Benjamin and for Warburg – actuality looks at itself, is enlightened in Benjamin by a redemption spark that is denied to Warburg. The set of photographic fragments to which, like a modern “Trauerspiel”, the “Mnemosyne Atlas” reduces the world does’t admit indeed any transcendence.
