description: We have studied the adsorption of neutral polyampholytes on model charged surfaces that have been characterized by contact angle and streaming current measurements. The loop size distributions of adsorbed polymer chains have been obtained using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and compared to recent theoretical predictions. We find a qualitative agreement with theory; the higher the surface charge, the smaller the number of monomers in the adsorbed layer, in agreement with theory. We propose an original scenario for the adsorption of polyampholytes on surfaces covered with both neutral long-chain and charged short-chain thiols.

Illness appraisals and psychological morbidity in adults with non-specific abdominal pain
Creators: name: French, Fiona
Publisher: name: University of Leicester

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Enhancing quality of life and managing symptoms in the community has become a central focus in the care of long-term conditions. A large proportion of long-term health conditions are encompassed by unexplained symptoms, such as non-specific abdominal pain (NSAP). Individuals with NSAP are more likely to experience mental health difficulties. Understanding how patients may differ in the way they understand their illness may be the first step to contribute to interventions that focus on improving the individual and societal burden for this patient population.Literature Review:The association of metacognitions on health outcomes was reviewed within the long-term health care population. Eight quantitative papers were analysed and revealed a strong association between metacognitions and a range of physical health conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain and Parkinson’s disease. Beliefs about the need to control thoughts and beliefs about the uncontrollability of the illness were significantly associated with long-term health conditions.Empirical Report:This study explored the link between illness appraisals and psychological morbidity between three groups of patients: those with NSAP, those with an organic abdominal diagnosis, and a control group. The overall sample consisted of 64 participants and analysed differences between demographic characteristics, illness appraisals, psychological morbidity, metacognitions and pain using a number of psychometrics. Results revealed a higher proportion of young females with NSAP, with significantly lower scores on the positive subscale of illness appraisals observed in comparison to those with an organic condition. Correlational analysis also showed significant associations between depression scores and the negative subscale of illness appraisals, as well as anxiety scores and negative metacognitions.

description: Automatic Extraction of road network from satellite images is a goal that can benefit and even enable new technologies. Methods that combine machine learning (ML) and computer vision have been proposed in recent years which make the task semi-automatic by requiring the user to provide curated training samples. The process can be fully automatized if training samples can be produced algorithmically. Of course, this requires a robust algorithm that can reconstruct the road networks from satellite images reliably so that the output can be fed as training samples. In this work, we develop such a technique by infusing a persistence-guided discrete Morse based graph reconstruction algorithm into ML framework. We elucidate our contributions in two phases. First, in a semi-automatic framework, we combine a discrete-Morse based graph reconstruction algorithm with an existing CNN framework to segment input satellite images. We show that this leads to reconstructions with better connectivity and less noise. Next, in a fully automatic framework, we leverage the power of the discrete-Morse based graph reconstruction algorithm to train a CNN from a collection of images without labelled data and use the same algorithm to produce the final output from the segmented images created by the trained CNN. We apply the discrete-Morse based graph reconstruction algorithm iteratively to improve the accuracy of the CNN. We show promising experimental results of this new framework on datasets from SpaceNet Challenge.

description: Leukemia and lymphoma are top cancers affecting children, adolescents and young adults with high five-year survival rates. Late effects of these cancers are a concern in reproductive-age patients, including pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth. Our study aimed to evaluate whether diagnosis of leukemia or lymphoma prior to pregnancy was associated with preterm birth (<37 weeks gestation). We conducted a cross-sectional study using a population-based dataset from California with linked birth certificates to hospital discharge records and an Iowa-based sample that linked birth certificates to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registry data. Preterm birth was defined using birth certificates. We ascertained history of leukemia and lymphoma using discharge diagnosis data in California and SEER registry in Iowa. Prevalence of preterm birth in California and Iowa was 14.6% and 12.0%, respectively, in women with a history of leukemia/lymphoma compared to 7.8% and 8.2%, respectively, in women without a cancer history. After adjusting for maternal age, race, education, smoking, and plurality, Women with history of leukemia/lymphoma were at an increased risk of having a preterm birth in California (odds ratio (OR) 1.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.56–2.28) and Iowa (OR 1.61; 95% CI 1.10–2.37) compared to those with no cancer history. In both California and Iowa, women with a history of leukemia or lymphoma were at increased risk for preterm birth. This suggests the importance of counseling with a history of leukemia/lymphoma prior to pregnancy and increased monitoring of women during pregnancy.

description: Theory of domain wall motion in a random medium is extended to the case when the driving field is below the zero-temperature depinning threshold and the creep of the domain wall is induced by thermal fluctuations. Subject to an ac drive, the domain wall starts to move when the driving force exceeds an effective threshold which is temperature and frequency-dependent. Similarly to the case of zero-temperature, the hysteresis loop displays three dynamical phase transitions at increasing ac field amplitude $h_0$. The phase diagram in the 3-d space of temperature, driving force amplitude and frequency is investigated.

description: Cerebroplacental Doppler studies have been advocated to predict the risk of adverse perinatal outcome (APO) irrespective of fetal weight. To report the diagnostic performance of cerebroplacental (CPR) and umbilicocerebral (UCR) ratios in predicting APO in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses and in those affected by late fetal growth restriction (FGR) attempting vaginal delivery. Multicenter, retrospective, nested case-control study between 1 January 2017 and January 2020 involving five referral centers in Italy and Spain. Singleton gestations with a scan between 36 and 40 weeks and within two weeks of attempting vaginal delivery were included. Fetal arterial Doppler and biometry were collected. The AGA group was defined as fetuses with an estimated fetal weight and abdominal circumference >10th and <90th percentile, while the late FGR group was defined by Delphi consensus criteria. The primary outcome was the prediction of a composite of perinatal adverse outcomes including either intrauterine death, Apgar score at 5 min <7, abnormal acid-base status (umbilical artery pH < 7.1 or base excess of more than −11) and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis was performed. 646 pregnancies (317 in the AGA group and 329 in the late FGR group) were included. APO were present in 12.6% AGA and 24.3% late FGR pregnancies, with an odds ratio of 2.22 (95% CI 1.46–3.37). The performance of CPR and UCR for predicting APO was poor in both AGA [AUC: 0.44 (0.39–0.51)] and late FGR fetuses [AUC: 0.56 (0.49–0.61)]. CPR and UCR on their own are poor prognostic predictors of APO irrespective of fetal weight.

Particle-hole symmetry and transport properties of the flux state in underdoped cuprates

description: Transport properties are studied for the flux state with the gauge flux $ϕ$ per plaquett, which may model the underdoped cuprates, with the emphasis on the particle-hole and parity/chiral symmetries.This model is reduced to the Dirac fermions in (2+1)D with a mass gap introduced by the antiferromagnetic (AF) long range order and/or the stripe formation. Without the mass gap, the Hall constant $R_H$ and the thermopower $S$ obey two-parameter scaling laws, and show the strong temperature dependence due to the recovery of the particle-hole symmetry at high temperature. The $x$-dependences of $σ_{xx} (\propto \sqrt{x})$ and $σ_{xy}$ (independent of $x$) are in a sharp contradiction with the experiments. (Here $x$ is the hole concentration.) Therefore there is no signature of the particle-hole symmetry or the massless Dirac fermions in the underdoped cuprates even above the Neel temperature $T_N$. With the mass gap introduced by the AF order, there occurs the parity anomaly for each of the Dirac fermions. However the contributions from different valleys and spins cancel with each other to result in no spontaneous Hall effect even if the time-reversal symmetry is broken with $ϕ\ne π$. The effects of the stripes are also studied. The diagonal and vertical (horizontal) stripes have quite different influence on the transport properties. The suppression of $R_H$ occurs at low temperature only when (i) both the AF order and the vertical (horizontal) stripe coexist, and (ii) the average over the in-plane direction is taken. Discussions on the recent experiments are given from the viewpoint of these theoretical results.

description: In recent years, reinforcement learning and its multi-agent analogue have achieved great success in solving various complex control problems. However, multi-agent rein-forcement learning remains challenging both in its theoretical analysis and empirical design of algorithms, especially for large swarms of embodied robotic agents where a definitive toolchain remains part of active research. We use emerging state-of-the-art mean-field control techniques in order to convert many-agent swarm control into more classical single-agent control of distributions. This allows profiting from advances in single-agent reinforcement learning at the cost of assuming weak interaction between agents. However, the mean-field model is violated by the nature of real systems with embodied, physically colliding agents. Thus, we combine collision avoidance and learning of mean-field control into a unified framework for tractably designing intelligent robotic swarm behavior. On the theoretical side, we provide novel approximation guarantees for general mean-field control both in continuous spaces and with collision avoidance. On the practical side, we show that our approach outperforms multi-agent reinforcement learning and allows for decentralized open-loop application while avoiding collisions, both in simulation and real UAV swarms. Overall, we propose a framework for the design of swarm behavior that is both mathematically well-founded and practically useful, enabling the solution of otherwise intractable swarm problems.

description: We study the natural linear operators associated to divide and color (DC) models. The degree of nonuniqueness of the random partition yielding a DC model is directly related to the dimension of the kernel of these linear operators. We determine exactly the dimension of these kernels as well as analyze a permutation-invariant version. We also obtain properties of the solution set for certain parameter values which will be important in (1) showing that large threshold discrete Gaussian free fields are DC models and in (2) analyzing when the Ising model with a positive external field is a DC model, both in future work. However, even here, we give an application to the Ising model on a triangle.

description: Various procedures have been introduced to achieve hemostasis for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in placenta previa (PP). This study attempted to clarify the effectiveness of the combined use of three hemostatic procedures: Matsubara-Takahashi cervix-holding (MT-holding), intrauterine balloon (IUB), and uterine compression suture (UCS). This was a historical cohort study on the hemostatic effect of combined procedures for patients with placenta previa (PP) undergoing cesarean section between April 2006 and December 2018. Until 2011 (2006–2011), we used MT-holding alone, whereas since 2012 we have also been using IUB and UCS: MT-holding alone was used in the former period whereas three procedures (MT-holding, IUB, UCS, and their combinations) have been used in the latter period. Perinatal outcomes were compared between 2006–2011 (before group) and 2012–2018 (after group). Of 416 patients with PP, excluding 273 patients with cesarean hysterectomy or no hemostatic procedure, the remaining 143 patients were analyzed. In the after group, intraoperative blood loss, the percentage of patients with postoperative blood loss ≥ 500 ml, and incidence of autologous blood transfusion were significantly lower than in the before group. Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative blood loss ≥ 500 ml decreased in the after group (adjusted OR: 0.3, 95%CI: 0.1–0.8, compared with the before group). PPH decreased after introducing the combination of hemostatic procedures in patients with PP. Further studies are needed to determine the best combination and optimal indication for combining hemostatic procedures for PP.
The Art Of Aid And War In Supply Chain Management

Publisher: name: University of Leicester

description: This thesis uses mixed-methods to study key areas of concern in supply chain management for the improved delivery of humanitarian aid and the fight against dark supply chains, specifically human trafficking. The growing field of supply chain management finds some of its antecedents in the operations of war, business, and in the delivery of aid. These three areas employ similar supply chain management tools and are inextricably linked, yet prior research is compartmentalised with the study of one area at a time, often with the questionable assumption of altruistic objectives of the main actors. This thesis challenges such common notions by providing new insights on: • supply chain vulnerabilities that span across industries,• an objective of stopping a supply chain rather than improving it, and• an understanding of how to disrupt human trafficking supply chains.To begin, I perform a literature survey to outline the key humanitarian areas that can benefit from further research in supply chain management (Chapter 1). This extends the realm of humanitarian research to include dark (i.e. hidden) supply chains as a field of study. To better understand dark supply chains, I employ multiple methodologies which are introduced in Chapter 2. I provide an exposition of the operational methods of dark supply chains in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4, I use game theory to analyse established industry and government protocols to optimise the decisions that underpin supply chain regulation on forced labour. In order to combat human trafficking supply chains, I use econometrics to study historical supply chain failures and categorise their vulnerabilities in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 applies the findings from the previous chapters to the dark supply chains involved in the case of illegal gold mining in Peru. The thesis ends with discussion and relevant directions for future research in supply chain management.

description: We study the conductance of three or more semi-infinite wires which meet at a junction. The electrons in the wires are taken to interact weakly with each other through a short-range density-density interaction, and they encounter a general scattering matrix at the junction. We derive the renormalization group equations satisfied by the S-matrix, and we identify its fixed points and their stabilities. The conductance between any pair of wires is then studied as a function of physical parameters such as temperature. We discuss the possibility of observing the effects of junctions in present day experiments, such as the four-terminal conductance of a quantum wire and crossed quantum wires.

description: We discuss the simulation of non-perturbative cavity-QED effects using systems of trapped ions. Specifically, we address the implementation of extended Dicke models with both collective dipole-field and direct dipole-dipole interactions, which represent a minimal set of models for describing light-matter interactions in the ultrastrong and deep-strong coupling regime. We show that this approach can be used in state-of-the-art trapped ion setups to investigate excitation spectra or the transition between sub- and superradiant ground states, which are currently not accessible in any other physical system. Our analysis also reveals the intrinsic difficulty of accessing this non-perturbative regime with larger numbers of dipoles, which makes the simulation of many-dipole cavity QED a particularly challenging test case for future quantum simulation platforms.

Thus, infections with these organisms can be difficult to both diagnose and treat. Bacteriophages are a potential tool to be exploited to aid in the elimination and detection of Legionella spp. in both the environment and in patients, with bacteriophage based diagnostics and therapeutics already successfully developed for many organisms. However, little is known about the bacteriophages capable of infecting Legionella spp. Thus, with little knowledge available in the literature, the aim of this study was to obtain more information on Legionella spp. bacteriophages using both experimental and bioinformatic approaches. Here, a diverse range of Legionella spp. were collected either through isolation from 262 water and soil samples from natural reservoirs and man-made systems, or obtained from Public Health England. These strains were then characterised, used to isolate bacteriophages from the same 262 samples, and were exposed to prophage-inducing agents to isolate bacteriophages directly from the bacteria themselves. While no bacteriophages were isolated from the samples, virus-like particles were observed following induction of Legionella spp. These particles were not like any currently identified bacteriophages, and warrant further investigation to confirm they are in fact bacteriophages. A bioinformatic approach was conducted in parallel to these investigations. Using this approach, a total of 717 Legionella spp. genomes in the GenBank database were screened for the presence of prophage-like regions. Although putative complete prophage elements were identified in the Legionella spp. genomes, further investigation concluded that these were due to fX-174 contamination that had not been removed by the submitting group before adding their genomes to GenBank. Other elements were discovered, but with little core recognisable bacteriophage genes. These results show that much more fundamental knowledge remains to be understood about Legionella spp. bacteriophages before extensive work is carried with the aim of developing bacteriophage diagnostics and therapeutics for Legionella spp. infections.

description: We apply a synchro-curvature spectral emission model based on characterizing the dynamics of magnetospheric particles to fit the phase-average spectra of the most extended database for the non-thermal spectra of pulsars. We consider 36 pulsars with well-determined non-thermal spectra from X-rays to gamma-rays. The sample includes Crab and Crab twin, for which the spectra extends even to the optical/ultraviolet and infrared energies. We find that the model --with just three physical parameters and a global scaling-- can fit the observations well across eight orders of magnitude for 18 of the 36 pulsars studied. Additionally, we find a set of 8 pulsars for which the model still provides arguably good fits and another set of 10 pulsars for which the model fails in reproducing the spectra. We discuss why, propose and provide physical interpretations for a simple model extension (related to the geometry of the accelerating system with regards to the observer) that allows dealing with all such cases, ultimately providing very good fits for all pulsars. The extended model is still austere, adding only two additional parameters to the former set, of the same kind of the ones previously used. We use these fits to discuss issues going from the observed spectral origin, to the extent of the dominance of synchrotron or curvature regimes, the use of a model as predictor for searching new non-thermal pulsars starting from gamma-ray surveys, and how the model offers a setting where phase shifts between X-ray and gamma-ray light curves would naturally arise.

Byron and the Sublime

Publisher: name: University of Leicester

description: This thesis seeks to fill the lack of scholarship regarding Byron and the sublime by tracing and investigating how and where Byron utilises the sublime in his major late-period works: Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (hereafter CHP) cantos III and IV, Manfred, Cain, and Don Juan. Each text will be the focus of its own chapter, whilst considering possible sources of inspiration regarding the sublime. These include the theories of Longinus, Edmund Burke, and Immanuel Kant, as well as postmodern interpretations.The ‘Alpine stanzas’ of CHP (canto III) demonstrate the various aspects of the Longinian sublime. Here, Longinus focuses on the role language plays in bringing the reader towards the sublime. Manfred is engaged with the relationship between sublimity and religion, especially in the two versions of the third act.CHP (canto IV) moves away from the sublime of the natural world and, as I argue, shifts towards the construct of the human sublime. Harold’s journey continues through Italy, and in each location there is a different aspect of the Byronic sublime. The Venetian stanzas exemplify the grotesque, the Florentine stanzas illustrate the beautiful, and the Roman stanzas are the epitome of the human-created sublime.Next, I come to Cain where I argue that Byron utilises the Lucretian sublime, paying special attention to ‘the swerve’ of atoms in the void. In the final chapter, I look to Don Juan and focus on five crucial cantos. Canto X continues the discussion of the void, whereas cantos XI and XIII present the opportunity to analyse how scepticism shapes the Byronic sublime. Canto XIV is the product of doubting and scepticism, because it focuses on the abyss. Lastly, in canto XVI, Byron has moved beyond the abyss in order to bring the reader to the religious sublime—the highest form of sublime.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Fusion categories are fundamental objects in quantum algebra, but their definition is narrow in some respects. By definition a fusion category must be k-linear for some field k, and every simple object V is strongly simple, meaning that (V) = k. We prove that linearity follows automatically from semisimplicity: Every connected, finite, semisimple, rigid, monoidal category \C is k-linear and finite-dimensional for some field k. Barring inseparable extensions, such a category becomes a multifusion category after passing to an algebraic extension of k. The proof depends on a result in Galois theory of independent interest, namely a finiteness theorem for abstract composita.

description: We report on Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 optical and STIS near ultraviolet MAMA observations, and ground-based optical observations of GRB010222, spanning 15 hrs to 71 days. The observations are well-described by a relativistic blast-wave model with a hard electron-energy distribution, p = 1.57, and a jet transition at t_j=0.93 days. These values are slightly larger than previously found as a result of a correction for the contribution from the host galaxy to the late-time ground-based observations and the larger temporal baseline provided by the Hubble Space Telescope observations. The host galaxy is found to contain a very compact core (size <0.25 arcsec) which coincides with the position of the optical transient. The STIS near ultraviolet MAMA observations allow for an investigation of the extinction properties along the line of sight to GRB010222. We find that the far ultraviolet curvature component (c_4) is rather large. In combination with the low optical extinction A_V =0.11 mag, when compared to the Hydrogen column inferred from X-ray observations, we suggest that this is evidence for dust destruction.

description: The existence of a stripe-liquid phase in a layered nickelate, La(1.725)Sr(0.275)NiO(4), is demonstrated through neutron scattering measurements. We show that incommensurate magnetic fluctuations evolve continuously through the charge-ordering temperature, although an abrupt decrease in the effective damping energy is observed on cooling through the transition. The energy and momentum dependence of the magnetic scattering are parametrized with a damped-harmonic-oscillator model describing overdamped spin-waves in the antiferromagnetic domains defined instantaneously by charge stripes.

Welcome Aboard: Exploring Experiences of Disability Hate Crime on Public Transport and Approaches to Safeguarding Passengers

description: Acts of hostility against people with disabilities remain largely overlooked by academia and the UK government. Despite this, between 2014/15-2016/17 the known incidents of disability hate crime in the UK increased by 249% with hate crime reports on Britain’s railways increasing by 23% between 2015/16-2016/17. Although estimates suggest that 19% of the global population has a disability and whilst public transport is a recognised trigger-environment for hate attacks against disabled people, no dedicated research existed, until now, to understand the victim experience. The key aims of this thesis are to transform academic understanding, methodology and theoretical frameworks.Public transport providers have an equality duty to protect all passengers; if not undertaken, minority groups remain susceptible. This thesis explores victim experiences through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 56 participants. Public transport staff members were interviewed and policies explored to understand how diligently authorities, providers and staff meet their legal obligations to protect susceptible passengers as obliged by the Public Sector Equality Duty. To enable engagement with people who possess a range of physical and mental disabilities, specific ethical considerations and adaptions were employed and diverse communications facilitated.Findings reveal everyday abuse, distress and violence affecting disabled passengers and fuelling aversions to using public transport often results in social isolation. Conflicts can be triggered by occupancy of priority spaces with most abuse occurring on buses. Staff members hold little awareness of the problem or confidence to manage it. Most authorities do not discharge their safeguarding obligations, consequently providers are not incentivised to safeguard. The thesis outlines the implications of these findings for scholarship and policy offering recommendations which are designed to raise awareness of the problem and improve access to justice.
