description: Calculating the energy absorption of atomic clusters as a function of the laser pulse length $T$ we find a maximum for a critical $T^*$. We show that $T^*$ can be linked to an optimal cluster radius $R^*$. The existence of this radius can be attributed to the enhanced ionization mechanism originally discovered for diatomic molecules. Our findings indicate that enhanced ionization should be operative for a wide class of rare gas clusters. From a simple Coulomb explosion ansatz, we derive an analytical expression relating the maximum energy release to a suitably scaled expansion time which can be expressed with the pulse length $T^*$.

description: In view of domestic scientific and technological achievements at present, real-time control circuit for greenhouse temperature and light intensity has been designed in line with the principle of cost saving and easy control. With advanced temperature sensor and light sensor applied to measure the temperature and light intensity, an execution unit is controlled by single-chip microcomputer (SCM) to regulate the temperature and light intensity, creating a hardware design scheme and software design idea. In case of high temperature and high light intensity in greenhouse, the sunshade net will be put down and the blower will be started automatically; and in case of low temperature and light intensity, the sunshade net will be folded up and the heating valve will be turned up automatically. In this way, the temperature and light intensity in greenhouse will be controlled within the designed range.

description: As part of the global response to planetary emergencies, higher education institutions (HEI) are considered a pivotal enabler for the transition to new and sustainable societal, economic and ecological models. The aim of education for sustainable development is to embed sustainability into the teaching, learning and operations of HEIs. This thesis examines the implementation of the National Strategy for Education for Sustainable Development in Ireland 2014-2020 (ESD Strategy) within a higher education (HE) context. A meso-level analysis of the emerging ESD landscape, set against the recommendations of the ESD Strategy, is presented, and the perceived barriers and drivers are identified. The process of change unfolding within HEIs is viewed through the lens of theories of policy implementation staircase and steering. Furthermore, two emerging, ontologically polar theories of change, behavioural insights and social practice theory, are considered within the context of sustainability-centred change. The research adopts a mixed qualitative methodology, examining the policy landscape, unpacking the ESD Strategy and carrying out in-depth semi-structured interviews with a range of stakeholders from within HEIs, government and non-government agencies (n=27). Adopting a critical realist perspective, data generated was analysed using NVivo software, applying both inductive and deductive approaches to thematic analysis to develop themes and subthemes. A common thread across all institutions is participation on the Green Campus Programme, though the findings demonstrate a three-tiered level of engagement with ESD. Barriers identified by participants include coordination, communication, power and resources. Drivers that emerge include agency, financial steering mechanisms, accreditation bodies and societal pressures. The research unveils a low level of awareness of the ESD Strategy and little by way of progress in the development of strategies for teaching and learning for sustainability. This critical enquiry highlights the potential of behavioural insights as a means of framing policy for the efficient management of campus resources and influencing individual pro-environmental behaviour by the implementation of green nudges. However, social practice theory is considered more applicable in providing a framework for the development of systemic, long-term changes to HEI structures that support current unsustainable practices. The development of a model based upon the concept of HEI practice architecture places an emphasis on collaborative, policy, teaching and learning and campus architectures. Finally, by analysing the elements of the practice of teaching and learning, the research suggests a method of reconceptualising this practice so that students and academics can better engage with the sustainability agenda.

description: Whether China continues its current energy-intensive growth path or adopts a sustainable development prospect has significant implication for energy and climate governance. Building on a Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans growth model incorporating the mechanism of endogenous technological change and its interaction with fossil energy use and economic growth, this paper contributes to an economic exposition of China’s potential transition from an energy-intensive to an innovation-led growth path. We find that in China’s initial growth period the small amount of capital stock creates higher dynamic benefits of capital investment and incentives of capital stock accumulation rather than R&D-related innovation. Accumulation of energy-consuming capital stock along this non-innovation-led growth path thus leads to an intensive use of fossil energy - an energy-intensive growth pattern. To avoid this undesirable outcome, China’s social planner should consider locating a transition point to an innovation-led balanced growth path (BGP). When the growth dynamics reaches that transition point, China’s economy would embark on investment in physical capital and R&D simultaneously, and make a transition into the innovation-led BGP along which consumption, capital investment, and R&D have a balanced share. Also in this innovation-led BGP, consumption, physical capital stock, and knowledge stock all grow, fossil energy uses decline.

description: Solid state quantum bits are promising candidates for the realization of a {\em scalable} quantum computer. However, they are usually strongly limited by decoherence due to the many extra degrees of freedom of a solid state system. We investigate a system of two solid state qubits that are coupled via $σ_z^{(i)} \otimes σ_z^{(j)}$ type of coupling. This kind of setup is typical for {\em pseudospin} solid-state quantum bits such as charge or flux systems. We evaluate decoherence properties and gate quality factors in the presence of a common and two uncorrelated baths coupling to $σ_z$, respectively. We show that at low temperatures, uncorrelated baths do degrade the gate quality more severely. In particular, we show that in the case of a common bath, optimum gate performance of a CPHASE gate can be reached at very low temperatures, because our type of coupling commutes with the coupling to the decoherence, which makes this type of coupling attractive as compared to previously studied proposals with $σ_y^{(i)} \otimes σ_y^{(j)}$ -coupling. Although less pronounced, this advantage also applies to the CNOT gate.

description: Using the 2001 ARMS, we investigate farm operator expectations regarding the continuation of government payments. Given the farmer expects payments to continue, we further investigate the expected direction of changes in payments. The 2001 Farm Bill was being debated at the time of the survey while the previous Farm Bill, the 1996 FAIR Act, was more marketoriented than previous legislation. Following the significant changes in the previous bill, this data provides an interesting glimpse into how the changing nature of the previous legislation influenced expectations for future agricultural policy. Significant variables influencing a farmer operator’s expectations for continued government payments and level of support include education, age, offfarm income of primary operator, off-farm income of the spouse, farm type, increased farm debt since 1996, and usage of risk management strategies.

description: Conformal field theories (CFTs) with cubic global symmetry in 3D are relevant in a variety of condensed matter systems and have been studied extensively with the use of perturbative methods like the $\varepsilon$ expansion. In an earlier work, we used the nonperturbative numerical conformal bootstrap to provide evidence for the existence of a previously unknown 3D CFT with cubic symmetry, dubbed "Platonic CFT". In this work, we make further use of the numerical conformal bootstrap to perform a three-dimensional scan in the space of scaling dimensions of three low-lying operators. We find a three-dimensional isolated allowed region in parameter space, which includes both the 3D (decoupled) Ising model and the Platonic CFT. The essential assumptions on the spectrum of operators used to provide the isolated allowed region include the existence of a stress-energy tensor and the irrelevance of certain operators (in the renormalization group sense).

description: This paper discusses the recent increases in the returns to crop production as well as trends in land rental rates and the types of rental agreements used in the Midwest. The concept of a flex cash lease and an approach to defining the terms of such a lease, relative to the current fixed cash or share arrangement, are outlined within the context of an example Midwestern corn farm. The resulting flex lease results in returns to the tenant and landowner which are a hybrid of those realized under the more traditional fixed cash and share rent agreements. Using these alternatives as benchmarks, the approach to defining a flex lease could be applied to other specific farm scenarios.

RELION

description: Helical assemblies of proteins are ubiquitous in nature and they perform vital functions in a wide range of organisms. The recent development of direct electron detectors and other imaging techniques in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has opened new possibilities in solving helical structures at atomic resolution. Existing software packages for helical processing often require experience in tuning many ad hoc parameters to achieve optimal reconstruction results. REgularised LIkelihood OptimisatioN (RELION), an open-source single-particle analysis package, reduces the need for user expertise by the formulation of an empirical Bayesian framework, and has yielded some of the highest resolution density maps in recent years. Prior information about the helical assemblies can be conveniently incorporated into the statistical framework of RELION and thereby improves the helical reconstructions. This PhD thesis describes the development of a helical processing computation workflow with reduced user intervention in RELION. Chapter 1 introduces the theoretical basis of cryo-EM data acquisition and single-particle data processing, the concepts of helical symmetry, and a previously described method for iterative real-space reconstruction of helical assemblies, to which the RELION implementation bears resemblance. Chapter 2 discusses multiple adaptations to RELION that are necessary for helical processing. Key elements include the imposition and local refinement of helical symmetry, masks on helical segments and references, expressions of angular and translational prior information, manual and automated segment picking as well as initial model generation for helices. Calculations have been performed on four test data sets showing that the developed methods in RELION yield results that are as good as or better than alternative approaches for the tests performed. Chapter 3 describes the same methodology adapted to helical sub-tomogram averaging in RELION. Chapter 4 introduces the local symmetry option developed for special types of filaments with pseudo-helical symmetry. The concept can be extended to general single-particle analysis as well. Chapter 5 describes four helical structures determined in collaboration with other research groups using helical RELION for data processing. Chapter 6 concludes the thesis with a brief summary and future prospects.

description: This paper studies the role of speculators in explaining agricultural commodity price movements. The spikes in global agricultural commodity prices in 2007-2008 and 2010 2011 have opened a debate on the contribution of speculation to recent food price volatility. Most academic literature does not support the idea that speculators drive commodity prices beyond fundamental levels. There are, however, some researchers who do find empirical evidence supporting the idea that the activity of speculators affects commodity prices. This paper concludes that the activity of speculators may temporarily overprice or underprice commodity values. It is assumed, however, that both fundamental and financial factors influence commodity prices. Nevertheless, it is difficult to indicate the extent to which each factor separately affects prices.

A new derivation of the Second Law is presented that respects these fundamental complications. Our ``geometric foundation of Thermo-Statistics'' opens the fundamental (axiomatic) application of Thermo-Statistics to non-diluted systems or to ``non-simple'' systems which are not similar to (homogeneous) fluids. Supprisingly, but also understandably, a so far open problem c.f. Uffink: cond-mat/0005327, page 50 and page 72.

description: The compact material irradiation facility (CMIF) is a current project in China that will provide a compact deuteron-beryllium neutron source. The target of this facility will be an intense and compact Isotope Decay-At-Rest (IsoDAR) neutrino source. In this paper, we propose to test the sterile neutrino hypothesis using CMIF as the neutrino source. At CMIF platform, the electron antineutrino production rate can be up to $2.0\times 10^{19}$ per day. When paired with an 80 t liquid scintillator detector to study short baseline electron antineutrino disappearance, the inverse beta decay (IBD) event rate is large enough to investigate the parameter ranges of interest for neutrino anomalies. Our sensitivity analysis shows that a short baseline experiment at this platform will provide a very competitive sterile neutrino search, especially in the high-$Δm^2$ region ($Δm^2 >10\,\text{eV}^2$).

description: Upon exposure to heat or cold, Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings undergo rapid transcriptional reprogramming of several hundreds of genes that promote stress tolerance. Despite extensive characterisation of the transcriptional responses to these stimuli, however, relatively little is known about the mechanisms by which temperature signals are perceived and transduced in plant cells. High or low seasonal temperatures have large impacts on crop productivity and are expected to intensify given current global climatic projections. It is therefore of agricultural importance to better understand temperature signalling pathways in plants in order to find solutions to this problem. In this thesis, a chemical genomics screen for molecules activating or repressing heat-inducible genes in A. thaliana was performed in collaboration with Syngenta and the biological targets of these chemicals were predicted based on structural similarities to compounds with known modes of action. Many molecules that affect the function of chloroplasts or mitochondria either activate or repress heat-responsive genes, thus implicating these organelles in the regulation of plant temperature responses. In addition, the translation inhibitor cycloheximide was identified as a repressor of heat-inducible genes and an activator of early cold-inducible genes. Diverse translation inhibitors trigger a cytosolic influx of calcium ions and several inhibitors of translation elongation were found to strongly activate cold-inducible gene expression in a calcium-dependent manner. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that cold shock causes rapid translation repression in A. thaliana seedlings and that the elongation factor LOS1 is involved in cold- or cycloheximide-induced gene expression, thus implicating translational machinery in the regulation of temperature signalling in plants. Finally, one of the chemicals identified in the screen, S01A463859Y, was found to improve heat resilience in A. thaliana and may therefore be of potential use in enhancing crop productivity during thermal stress.

description: Living systems exhibit complex yet organized behavior on multiple spatiotemporal scales. To investigate the nature of multiscale coordination in living systems, one needs a meaningful and systematic way to quantify the complex dynamics, a challenge in both theoretical and empirical realms. The present work shows how integrating approaches from computational algebraic topology and dynamical systems may help us meet this challenge. In particular, we focus on the application of multiscale topological analysis to coordinated rhythmic processes. First, theoretical arguments are introduced as to why certain topological features and their scale-dependency are highly relevant to understanding complex collective dynamics. Second, we propose a method to capture such dynamically relevant topological information using persistent homology, which allows us to effectively construct a multiscale topological portrait of rhythmic coordination. Finally, the method is put to test in detecting transitions in real data from an experiment of rhythmic coordination in ensembles of interacting humans. The recurrence plots of topological portraits highlight collective transitions in coordination patterns that were elusive to more traditional methods. This sensitivity to collective transitions would be lost if the behavioral dynamics of individuals were treated as separate degrees of freedom instead of constituents of the topology that they collectively forge. Such multiscale topological portraits highlight collective aspects of coordination patterns that are irreducible to properties of individual parts. The present work demonstrates how the analysis of multiscale coordination dynamics can benefit from topological methods, thereby paving the way for further systematic quantification of complex, high-dimensional dynamics in living systems.

description: Coding theory is the study of algorithms and techniques that facilitate reliable information transmission over noisy mediums, most notably through combinatorialobjects called error-correcting codes. Following the inspiring works of Shannon and Hamming, a sophisticated and extensive body of research on error-correcting codes has led to a deep and detailed theoretical understandingas well as practical implementations that have helped fuel the digital revolution. Error-correcting codes can be found in essentially all modern communication, computation, and data storage systems. While being remarkably successful inunderstanding the theoretical limits and trade-o?s of reliable communication under errors and erasures, the coding theory literature significantly lags behind when it comes to overcoming errors that concern the timing of communications. In particular, the study of correcting synchronization errors, i.e., symbol insertions and deletions, while initially introduced by Levenshtein in the 60s,has significantly fallen behind our highly sophisticated knowledge of codes for Hamming-type errors.This thesis investigates coding against synchronization errors under a variety of models and attempts to understand trade-offs between different qualities of interest in respective coding schemes such as rate, distance, and algorithmicqualities of the code. Most of the presented results rely on synchronization strings, simple yet powerful pseudorandom objects introduced in this work that have proven to be very effective solutions for coping with synchronization errorsin various settings. Through indexing with strings that satisfy certain pseudo-random properties, we provide synchronization codes that achieve near-optimal rate-distance trade-off. We further attempt to provide constructions that enable fast encoding/ decoding procedures. We study the same problem under the list-decoding regime, where the decoder is expected to provide a short list of codewords that is guaranteed to contain the sent message. We will also try to better understandthe fundamental limits of list-decoding for synchronization errors such as the list-decoding capacity or maximal error resilience for list-decodable synchronization codes. This thesis furthermore studies synchronization strings andother related pseudo-random string properties as combinatorial objects that are of independent interest. Such combinatorial objects will be used to extend someof our techniques to alternative communication problems such as coding from block transposition errors or coding for interactive communication.

description: We consider the Maldacena conjecture applied to the near horizon geometry of a D1-brane in the supergravity approximation and present numerical results of a test of the conjecture against the boundary field theory calculation using supersymmetric discrete light-cone quantization (SDLCQ). We present numerical results with approximately 1000 times as many states as we previously considered. These results support the Maldacena conjecture and are within 10-15% of the predicted numerical results in some regions. Our results are still not sufficient to demonstrate convergence, and, therefore, cannot be considered to a numerical proof of the conjecture. We present a method for using a ``flavor'' symmetry to greatly reduce the size of the basis and discuss a numerical method that we use which is particularly well suited for this type of matrix element calculation.

description: Dairy production in Ukraine, as well as worldwide, is an important sector of the economy which ensures the food security of the country. The Ukrainian dairy sector has many unsolved systematic problems, foremost of which is the decrease in cow productivity and the number of cows. This directly influences the decrease of total milk production, and, as a result, a deficit on the food market. Today, the Ukrainian government has to focus on improving dairy sector support in order to ensure its effectiveness in the future. PAM-analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of state agricultural policy in the dairy sector. Research results show that the production system of Ukraine can ensure profitable milk production in private and social prices. But, while dairy producers benefit from cheap internal resources, state policy in the dairy sector impacts profitability of milk production by production trade factors.

description: A distributed sensing protocol uses a network of local sensing nodes to estimate a global feature of the network, such as a weighted average of locally detectable parameters. In the noiseless case, continuous-variable multipartite entanglement shared by the nodes can improve the precision of parameter estimation relative to the precision attainable by a network without shared entanglement; for an entangled protocol, the root-mean-square estimation error scales like $1/M$ with the number $M$ of sensing nodes, the so-called Heisenberg scaling, while for protocols without entanglement, the error scales like $1/\sqrt{M}$. However, in the presence of loss and other noise sources, although multipartite entanglement still has some advantages for sensing displacements and phases, the scaling of the precision with $M$ is less favorable. In this paper, we show that using continuous-variable error correction codes can enhance the robustness of sensing protocols against imperfections and reinstate Heisenberg scaling up to moderate values of $M$. Furthermore, while previous distributed sensing protocols could measure only a single quadrature, we construct a protocol in which both quadratures can be sensed simultaneously. Our work demonstrates the value of continuous-variable error correction codes in realistic sensing scenarios.

description: We consider semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and Drell-Yan events within transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization. Based on the simultaneous fit of multiple data points, we extract the unpolarized TMD distributions and the non-perturbative evolution kernel. The high quality of the fit confirms a complete universality of TMD non-perturbative distributions. The extraction is supplemented by phenomenological analyses of various parts of the TMD factorization, such as sensitivity to non-perturbative parameterizations, perturbative orders, collinear distributions, correlations between parameters, and others.

description: Shoemakerella Pirlot, 1936
 Remarks. Shoemakerella Pirlot, 1936: 264, was previously known only from the western North Atlantic Ocean, with a possible occurrence in the eastern North Pacific Ocean represented by Hurley’s (1963) record of Shoemakerella cubensis (as Lysianopsis) from the Gulf of California. The present record is the first from the Indo-West Pacific Ocean. Shoemakerella is very similar to Arugella Pirlot, 1936: 259, a genus known from eastern Indonesia. Both genera have only slight sexual dimorphism, a molar reduced to a setose flap, no apical robust setae on the maxilla 1 palp, simple first gnathopods, a constricted inner ramus on uropod 2 and short third uropods with a flanged peduncle. However in Shoemakerella the mandibular molar has a medial row of small robust setae (absent in Arugella); the first article of the mandibular palp is long (short in Arugella); and STB - STD of the maxilla 1 outer plate inner row setal-teeth are stout (slender in Arugella).

description: The paper discusses the effects of changes in Asian agricultural policies on regional and global food security. It also takes account of the consequences of the “rise of Asia” for the European Union food sector. The Asian region is vitally important for future world food security. On the one hand, it suffers from volatility of agricultural commodity prices; on the other hand, individual countries introduce export barriers reducing supply in the global market as was the case during the 2007-08 food crisis. Therefore, the key question arises as to whether regional integration agreements like ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations) or ASEAN+China can shape agricultural policies of these countries and their food self-sufficiency status. Despite ASEAN’s intention to establish an ASEAN Economic Community by 2015, there was a lack of solidarity during the 2006-08 crisis to ensure food security in the region. Yet, given increasing demands from economic, demographic and climatic pressures, more intense regional cooperation can be expected in the near future. Thus, it is of interest to explore possible common solutions for food security policy in the region as well as their impact on national, regional and global food policies. It is still uncertain whether the Asian countries will adopt outward- or inward-looking policy strategies. There were some initiatives set up, however, due to many controversies between net rice exporters and importers, they failed. Therefore, in what direction will agricultural policies in Asian countries be heading in the foreseeable future? Will Asian countries further develop market mechanisms supporting agricultural prices like export quotas and bans, or will they shift to more “green” and trade-neutral policy instruments consistent with the World Trade Organization’s requirements?

description: Currently a revolution is happening in the development of gaseous detectors of photons and particles. Recently developed gaseous detectors with solid photocathodes are now replacing photosensitive wire chambers, which dominated for years in high energy and space flight experiments. We will review the main developments in this field as well as their applications in high-energy physics, medicine, industry and plasma diagnostics. New results on solid photocathodes coupled with gaseous micropattern/wire detectors will also be presented.

description: In non-mammalian vertebrates, some neurons can regenerate after spinal cord injury. One of these, the giant Mauthner (M-) neuron shows a uniquely direct link to a robust survival-critical escape behavior but appears to regenerate poorly. Here we use two-photon microscopy in parallel with behavioral assays in zebrafish to show that the M-axon can regenerate very rapidly and that the recovery of functionality lags by just days. However, we also find that the site of the injury is critical: While regeneration is poor both close and far from the soma, rapid regeneration and recovery of function occurs for injuries between 10% and 50% of total axon length. Our findings show that rapid regeneration and the recovery of function can be studied at remarkable temporal resolution after targeted injury of one single M-axon and that the decision between poor and rapid regeneration can be studied in this one axon.
Predictive Computational Modelling of the c-myc Gene Regulatory Network for Combinatorial Treatments of Breast Cancer

description: As cancer tumours develop, competition between cells will favour those with some mutations over others, creating a dynamic heterogeneous system made up of different cell populations, called sub-clones. This heterogeneity poses a challenge for treatment, as this variety serves to ensure there is almost always a portion of the cells which are resistant to any one targeted therapy. This can be avoided by combining therapies, but finding viable combinations experimentally is expensive and time-consuming. However, there is also cooperation between sub-clones, and being able to better model and predict these dynamics could allow this interdependence to be exploited. In order to investigate how best to tackle tumour heterogeneity, while avoiding acquired resistance, I have developed the first comprehensive computational model of the gene regulatory network in breast cancer focused on the c-myc oncogene and the differences between sub-clones. I model the system as a discrete, qualitative network, which can reproduce the conditions in heterogeneous tumours, as well as predict the effect of perturbations mimicking mutations or application of therapy. Together with experimental collaborators, I apply my computational model to an \textit{in vivo} mouse model of MMTV-Wnt1 driven breast cancer, which has high and low c-myc expressing sub-clones. I show that the computational model is able to reproduce the behaviour of this system, and predict how best to target either one sub-clone individually or the tumour as a whole. I show how combination therapies offer more paths to attack the tumour, and how two drugs can work synergistically. For example, I predict how Mek inhibition will preferentially affect one sub-clone, but the addition of COX2 inhibition improves effectiveness across the tumour as a whole. In this thesis, I show how a computational network model can predict treatments in breast cancer, and assess the effects on different clones of different treatment combinations. This model can be easily extended with new data, as well as adapted to different types of cancer. This therefore represents a novel method to find viable combination therapies computationally and speed up the development of new cancer treatments.
