description: Let $M$ be a strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold which is also the total space of a principal $G$-bundle with $G$ a Lie group and compact orbit space $\bar M/G$. Here we investigate the $\bar\partial$-Neumann Laplacian on $M$. We show that it is essentially self-adjoint on its restriction to compactly supported smooth forms. Moreover we relate its spectrum to the existence of generalized eigenforms: an energy belongs to $σ(\square)$ if there is a subexponentially bounded generalized eigenform for this energy. Vice versa, there is an expansion in terms of these well-behaved eigenforms so that, spectrally, almost every energy comes with such a generalized eigenform.

title: The expectation of narrative in the photograph.
Creators: name: Giles, Kenneth W.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: The Expectation of Narrative in the Photograph is an investigation into the expectation of the narrative structure within and outside the photograph. The means of this exploration is to uncover the type of narrative structure that is in place in the photograph, and at what point in our reading of the still photographic image does this narrative structure come into play. By looking at the various types of photographs (found anonymous photographs to postcards to fine art prints from individuals such as: Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, Edward Weston and Richard Avedon) that are in circulation in today's contemporary society, I present a theoretical exploration of an expected narrativity being implicit in the photograph. To complement this photographic narrativity, I also look into the literary equivalent and theories of realism found in the work of William Faulkner, Henry James and Ernest Hemingway. In the latter sections of the text, I look at three distinctive bodies of photographic work. Therefore the issue of a-temporal in medias res narrativity is a key aesthetic feature and factor when rading and looking at and into the work of Cindy Sherman, Jacques-Henri Lartigue and Robert Frank. To parallel the aesthetics of this investigation, I also use a phenomenological position, borrowed from Husserl's theories of temporal understanding and Bergson's theory of perpetual present, to outline a consideration of reverse causality in the photographic act (the creating of a photograph) which helps the reader come to define and read the resulting photograph as a historical trace of a larger story. The text advances the understanding of a photographic narrativity which traditionally tends to be seen under the rubric of filmic or literary narrative structures. The central argument of the text will therefore expand the notion that there is a certain type of narrative which is particularly photographic and that a revision of this distinctive narrativity will open up further debates and dialogues of a narrative photographic retelling.
How do the jurisdictions of India, Canada and the United Kingdom interpret the inventive step requirement for follow-on pharmaceutical innovation?
Creators: name: Rainforth, George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This paper looks at the three jurisdictions of the United Kingdom, Canada and India to determine how each interpret the inventive step, for follow-on pharmaceutical innovation. An analysis of domestic statutes and case law, allows the stringency of approach to the inventive step in each jurisdiction to be determined on a comparative basis. The paper provides the comparison by utilising two differing benchmarks as a means to establish a lenient, versus a stringent perspective. The stringent perspective is established from UN recommendations whilst the lenient perspective is provided by a critical analysis of the recommendations by Christopher Holman et al. The first three chapters detail the approach taken by each jurisdiction respectively. This is achieved through extensive literature reviews and case law analysis. Through a comparison of a dosage patent, which was challenged before both the Federal Court of Appeal and the UK Supreme Court this paper reveals the similarity in approach between the UK and Canada’s inventive step inquiries. The comparative nature of this paper further establishes the stringency of application in India, through a step by step, comparative analysis of the inventive step inquiries. The potential consequences of the stringent approach in India and the comparatively lenient applications in Canada and the UK, are established through summaries of key debates in this area. This includes ethical debates such as the vital ‘innovation v accessibility balance’, the controversial ‘lifecycle management plans’ and Erooms law. In order for these key concerns to be adequately accounted for, unnecessarily strict standards for the inventive should not be applied. It is established that an emphasis on flexibility in approach to the inventive step inquiry, as is beginning to emerge in the United Kingdom, is an appropriate first step towards an inventive step inquiry which is capable of accounting for these crucial concerns.

description: Electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) codes are widely used to perform computer simulations of a variety of physical systems, including fusion plasmas, astrophysical plasmas, plasma wakefield particle accelerators, and secondary photon sources driven by ultra-intense lasers. In a PIC code, Maxwell's equations are solved on a grid with a numerical method of choice. This article focuses on pseudo-spectral analytical time-domain (PSATD) algorithms and presents a novel hybrid PSATD PIC scheme that combines the respective advantages of standard nodal and staggered methods. The novelty of the hybrid scheme consists in using finite-order centering of grid quantities between nodal and staggered grids, in order to combine the solution of Maxwell's equations on a staggered grid with the deposition of charges and currents and the gathering of electromagnetic forces on a nodal grid. The correctness and performance of the novel hybrid scheme are assessed by means of numerical tests that employ different classes of PSATD equations in a variety of physical scenarios, ranging from the modeling of electron-positron pair creation in vacuum to the simulation of laser-driven and particle beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. It is shown that the novel hybrid scheme offers significant numerical and computational advantages, compared to purely nodal or staggered methods, for all the test cases presented.

description: Let $A$ be a ring of dimension $d$. Assume that for every finite extension ring $R$ of $A$, E_{d+1}(R) acts transitively on Um_{d+1}(R). Then we prove that E(A\oplus P) acts transitively on Um(A\oplus P), for any projective A-module P of rank d. As a consequence of this, we generalise some results of Gubeladze.

description: We show that a parametrically coupled qubit can be used to fully reconstruct the quantum state of a harmonic oscillator, even when both systems are subject to decoherence. By controlling the coupling strength of the qubit over time, the characteristic function of the oscillator at any phase space point can be directly measured by combining the expectation values of two Pauli operators. The effect of decoherence can be filtered out from the measured data, provided a sufficient number of experimental runs is performed. In situations where full state reconstruction is not practical or not necessary, the method can still be used to estimate low order moments of the mechanical quadratures. We also show that in the same framework it is possible to prepare superposition states of the oscillator. The model is very general but particularly appropriate for nanomechanical systems.

description: One of the goals of the iFishIENCi project is to bring to market the iFishIENCi Biology Online Steering System (iBOSS) that significantly improves production control and management for all fish aquaculture systems. Within iBOSS, smart functions can be implemented to take advantage of data from multiple sources to give better insight for the farmer, optimize production, better production planning, etc. The Report on final Smart feeding AI aims to implement one such smart function: iBOSS Smart Feeding. By using an AI approach, it is expected appropriate correlations between fish behaviour, feeding regime and water quality can be found, and used for controlling feeder and achieve optimal feeding operation. While a lot of data is available, it has not yet been explored how to concatenate this into one model for optimizing feeding efficiency. Thus, an approach to integrate multiple sources of feeding efficiency quantification in to one, is proposed.
The short toric polynomial

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We introduce the short toric polynomial associated to a graded Eulerian poset. This polynomial contains the same information as the two toric polynomials introduced by Stanley, but allows different algebraic manipulations. The intertwined recurrence defining Stanley's toric polynomials may be replaced by a single recurrence, in which the degree of the discarded terms is independent of the rank. A short toric variant of the formula by Bayer and Ehrenborg, expressing the toric $h$-vector in terms of the $cd$-index, may be stated in a rank-independent form, and it may be shown using weighted lattice path enumeration and the reflection principle. We use our techniques to derive a formula expressing the toric $h$-vector of a dual simplicial Eulerian poset in terms of its $f$-vector. This formula implies Gessel's formula for the toric $h$-vector of a cube, and may be used to prove that the nonnegativity of the toric $h$-vector of a simple polytope is a consequence of the Generalized Lower Bound Theorem holding for simplicial polytopes.

description: We describe the basic theory of infinite time Turing machines and some recent developments, including the infinite time degree theory, infinite time complexity theory, and infinite time computable model theory. We focus particularly on the application of infinite time Turing machines to the analysis of the hierarchy of equivalence relations on the reals, in analogy with the theory arising from Borel reducibility. We define a notion of infinite time reducibility, which lifts much of the Borel theory into the class $\bmΔ^1_2$ in a satisfying way.

description: We study the effects of a power-law trapping potential on the scaling behaviour of the entanglement at the quantum critical point of one-dimensional (1D) lattice particle systems. We compute bipartite von Neumann and Renyi entropies in the presence of the trap, and analyze their scaling behaviour with increasing the trap size. As a theoretical laboratory, we consider the quantum XY chain in an external transverse field acting as a trap for the spinless fermions of its quadratic Hamiltonian representation. We then investigate confined particle systems described by the 1D Bose-Hubbard model in the superfluid phase (around the center of the trap). In both cases conformal field theory predicts logarithmically divergent bipartite entanglement entropies for the homogeneous systems without trap. The presence of the trapping potential breaks conformal invariance, affecting the critical behaviour of the homogeneous system. Our results show that the bipartite entanglement entropies diverge logarithmically with increasing the trap size, and present notable scaling behaviours in the trap-size scaling limit.

description: We present a modified Lanczos algorithm to diagonalize lattice Hamiltonians with dramatically reduced memory requirements, {\em without restricting to variational ansatzes}. The lattice of size $N$ is partitioned into two subclusters. At each iteration the Lanczos vector is projected into two sets of $n_{\rm svd}$ smaller subcluster vectors using singular value decomposition. For low entanglement entropy $S_{ee}$, (satisfied by short range Hamiltonians), the truncation error is expected to vanish as $\exp(-n_{\rm svd}^{1/S_{ee}})$. Convergence is tested for the Heisenberg model on Kagomé clusters of 24, 30 and 36 sites, with no lattice symmetries exploited, using less than 15GB of dynamical memory. Generalization of the Lanczos-SVD algorithm to multiple partitioning is discussed, and comparisons to other techniques are given.

description: Atomistic electronic structure calculations are performed to study the coherent inter-dot couplings of the electronic states in a single InGaAs quantum dot molecule. The experimentally observed excitonic spectrum [12] is quantitatively reproduced, and the correct energy states are identified based on a previously validated atomistic tight binding model. The extended devices are represented explicitly in space with 15 million atom structures. An excited state spectroscopy technique is presented in which the externally applied electric field is swept to probe the ladder of the electronic energy levels (electron or hole) of one quantum dot through anti-crossings with the energy levels of the other quantum dot in a two quantum dot molecule. This technique can be applied to estimate the spatial electron-hole spacing inside the quantum dot molecule as well as to reverse engineer quantum dot geometry parameters such as the quantum dot separation. Crystal deformation induced piezoelectric effects have been discussed in the literature as minor perturbations lifting degeneracies of the electron excited (P and D) states, thus affecting polarization alignment of wave function lobes for III-V Heterostructures such as single InAs/GaAs quantum dots. In contrast this work demonstrates the crucial importance of piezoelectricity to resolve the symmetries and energies of the excited states through matching the experimentally measured spectrum in an InGaAs quantum dot molecule under the influence of an electric field. Both linear and quadratic piezoelectric effects are studied for the first time for a quantum dot molecule and demonstrated to be indeed important. The net piezoelectric contribution is found to be critical in determining the correct energy spectrum, which is in contrast to recent studies reporting vanishing net piezoelectric contributions.

description: In this paper we construct supersymmetric flipped SU(5) GUTs from E_8 singularities in F-theory. We start from an SO(10) singularity unfolded from an E_8 singularity by using an SU(4) spectral cover. To obtain realistic models, we consider (3,1) and (2,2) factorizations of the SU(4) cover. After turning on the massless U(1)_X gauge flux, we obtain the SU(5) X U(1)_X gauge group. Based on the well-studied geometric backgrounds in the literature, we demonstrate several models and discuss their phenomenology.

title: Factors influencing the efficiency of photoinitiation in radiation curable ink formations
Creators: name: Herlihy, Shaun Lawrence
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: In an effort to be able to use photoinitiators to their maximum potential, the sequence of events that occurs in an ink formulation during the UV curing process has have been studied and information presented to allow more effective formulation. Emphasis has been placed on highlighting the variables that have the greatest impact both on photoinitiator efficiency and on the suitability of individual photoinitiators and synergists for use in particular applications. These variables were found to be photoinitiator thermal stability, UV light utilisation, reaction mechanisms and cure reactivity. A wide range of photoinitiators and synergists were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermogravimetric analysis-mass spectroscopy (TGA-MS) to define both their thermal stability and whether under heating they thermally decompose or merely evaporate. Differential photocalorimetry (DPC) was used to determine which wavelengths from a typical medium pressure mercury curing lamp are the most important for providing cure, with both theoretical and practical methods being used to define the extent to which these wavelengths penetrate into pigmented and non-pigmented coatings. A procedure was devised and validated for this purpose. The reaction mechanism and photodecomposition products of a range of photoinitiators were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and radical trapping experiments. The reaction mechanisms are discussed in terms of available literature knowledge. Evidence is also presented suggesting that, with only particular exceptions, cleavage photoinitiators can also react by a hydrogen abstraction mechanism in the presence of an amine synergist. A real time infrared spectrometer (RTIR) was set up and a method validated for following the UV curing reaction through changes in the acrylate double bond concentration. The advantages and disadvantages of this instrument are discussed in terms of other similar instruments reported in the literature, and the technique subsequently used to measure the reaction rates of a wide range of photoinitiators. Other factors such as photoinitiator concentration, amine synergist type I level and formulation viscosity were also investigated to determine their influence on the cure process.

We use 520 $fb^{-1}$ of data recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider operating at center of mass energies near 10.6 $GeV$. We search for CP violation in the difference between the $T$-odd asymmetries obtained using triple product correlations of the $D^+$ ($D_s^+$) and $D^-$ ($D_s^-$) decays, respectively. The $T$ violation parameter values obtained are $\mathcal{A}_T(D^+) = (-12.0 \pm 10.0_{stat} \pm 4.6_{syst})\times 10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{A}_T(D_s^+) = (-13.6 \pm 7.7_{stat} \pm 3.4_{syst}) \times10^{-3}$, which are consistent with the standard model expectations.

description: Some recent studies of the AdS/CFT correspondence for condensed matter systems involve the Fermi liquid theory as a boundary field theory. Adding B-flux to the boundary D-branes leads in a certain limit to the noncommutative Fermi liquid, which calls for a field theory description of its critical behavior. As a preliminary step to more general consideration, the modification of the Landau's Fermi liquid theory due to noncommutativity of spatial coordinates is studied in this paper. We carry out the renormalization of interactions at tree level and one loop in a weakly coupled fermion system in two spatial dimensions. Channels ZS, ZS' and BCS are discussed in detail. It is shown that while the Gaussian fixed point remains unchanged, the BCS instability is modified due to the space non-commutativity.

description: Vaccination groups all over the globe made a strong coordinated effort to put an end to the current COVID-19 crisis. Since vaccination started first in the UK on 8th December, 2020 we have sufficient data to analyse and derive useful results. It addressed issues viz. seasonality, indirect consequences of mass vaccination and fast mutation of the virus after mass vaccination. To develop useful timely insights, some similarities between COVID-19 and Flu received attention. Critical and open analyses, balanced discussion in the current crucial stage are desperately needed. Questioning, debating and criticism are always the basis of good science and the main pillars to its advancement. With that objective in mind, it is an effort to explore areas relating to the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines with a pragmatic viewpoint. Policymakers will be greatly benefitted from such analyses. An alternative optimistic pathway is also mentioned which was proposed as early as 17th March, 2020 and is practically without side effects and no vested interest involved.

description: Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the presence of amyloid deposition. Thioflavin T (ThT) has been one of the molecules of choice to attempt the detection of the amyloid deposits, but ThT is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier, due to its low lipophilicity. Therefore, there is strong motivation to design and develop new compounds for in vitro fibril detection as well as for in vivo amyloid imaging. Additionally, the importance and the critical role of oxidative stress in the onset/progression of some neurodegenerative disorders, and therefore, the efficacy of aurone compounds in inhibiting the resulting toxicity have been frequently reported. In this study, we report the synthesis of some benzofuranone compounds and examine their antioxidant inhibitory property. Furthermore, to establish the potential detection of synthesized compounds to amyloid aggregates, their in vitro binding to some non-disease-related amyloidogenic proteins was characterized. Analyses of the in vitro binding studies showed that compounds 3 and 4 bind to the fibril structures successfully while compounds 1, 2, and 5 indicated a low-affinity binding to amyloid. Additionally, compounds 3 and 4 exhibited very good antioxidant properties. Furthermore, these compounds have great potential as fluorescent probes for detecting amyloid aggregation for further investigations.

description: The present research develops a prototype theory of consumer expense misprediction that helps explain why consumers display an expense prediction bias in which they under-predict their future spending, and how expense prediction accuracy can be improved. The logic of the prototype theory is that expense predictions are based on prototype attributes that come to mind easily when predictions are being constructed. These attributes represent a consumer’s average spending, where “average” refers to the mode of their expense distribution. This leads consumers to under-predict their expenses because, generally speaking, the distribution of expenses is positively skewed with mode < mean. Accordingly, it is proposed that prompting consumers to consider reasons why their expenses might be different than usual will increase prediction accuracy by making atypical expenses cognitively easier to retrieve. A series of studies that includes a longitudinal field experiment, data from a personal finance app, and a variety of lab paradigms provide evidence for this prototype account of the bias and the effectiveness of the proposed intervention. Evidence is also provided that consumers with variable income (e.g., Uber drivers) display a corresponding income prediction bias in which they over-predict future income.

description: We report the clearest detection to date of dusty torus signatures in a Weak-Line Radio Galaxy (WLRG). The deep Spitzer InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) rest-frame mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum of the WLRG PKS 0043-42 (z=0.116) shows a clear spectral turnover at wavelengths longer than ~20 micron suggestive of warm dust, as well as a 9.7 micron silicate absorption feature. In addition, the hard X-ray results, based on Chandra data, strongly support a picture in which PKS 0043-42 has a torus and accretion disc more typical of Strong-Line Radio Galaxies (SLRGs). The MIR and X-ray spectra are markedly different from those of other WLRGs at similar redshifts, and here we show that the former can be successfully fitted with clumpy torus models with parameters characteristic of Type-2 AGN tori: close to edge-on (i=74 deg) and relatively broad (torus angular width=60 deg), with an outer radius of 2 pc, hydrogen column density ~1.6x10^(23) cm^(-2), and AGN bolometric luminosity ~1.6x10^(44) erg s^(-1). The presence of a compact torus in PKS 0043-42 provides evidence that this WLRG is fuelled by cold, rather than hot, gas accretion. We suggest that WLRGs are a diverse population, and PKS 0043-42 may represent a type of radio galaxy in which the AGN activity has been recently re-triggered as a consequence of intermittent gas supply, or in which the covering factor of the Narrow-Line Region (NLR) clouds is relatively low.

description: Using different analytical methods (the quasi-linear approach, the path-integral technique and tau-relaxation approximation) we develop a comprehensive mean-field theory for a pumping effect of the mean magnetic field in homogeneous non-rotating helical turbulence with imposed large-scale shear. The effective pumping velocity is proportional to the product of alpha effect and large-scale vorticity associated with the shear, and causes a separation of the toroidal and poloidal components of the mean magnetic field along the direction of the mean vorticity. We also perform direct numerical simulations of sheared turbulence in different ranges of hydrodynamic and magnetic Reynolds numbers and use a kinematic test-field method to determine the effective pumping velocity. The results of the numerical simulations are in agreement with the theoretical predictions.

description: Despite its successes---such as solving the supersymmetric flavor problem---anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking is untenable because of its prediction of tachyonic sleptons. An appealing solution to this problem was proposed by Pomarol and Rattazzi where a threshold controlled by a light field deflects the anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking trajectory, thus evading tachyonic sleptons. In this paper we examine an alternate class of deflection models where the non-supersymmetric threshold is accompanied by a heavy, instead of light, singlet. The low energy form of this model is the so-called extended anomaly mediation proposed by Nelson and Weiner, but with potential for a much higher deflection threshold. The existence of this high deflection threshold implies that the space of anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking deflecting models is larger than previously thought.

description: We present a method for the calculation of electronic structure of systems that contain tens of thousands of atoms. The method is based on the division of the system into mutually overlapping fragments and the representation of the single-particle Hamiltonian in the basis of eigenstates of these fragments. In practice, for the range of system size that we studied (up to tens of thousands of atoms), {the dominant part of the calculation scales} linearly with the size of the system when all the states within a fixed energy interval are required. The method is highly suitable for making good use of parallel computing architectures. We illustrate the method by applying it to diagonalize the single-particle Hamiltonian obtained using the density functional theory based charge patching method in the case of amorphous alkane and polythiophene polymers.

description: Quasicrystals whose building blocks are of mesoscopic rather than atomic scale have recently been discovered in several soft-matter systems. Contrary to metallurgic quasicrystals whose source of stability remains a question of great debate to this day, we argue that the stability of certain soft-matter quasicrystals can be directly explained by examining a coarse-grained free energy for a system of soft isotropic particles. We show, both theoretically and numerically, that the stability can be attributed to the existence of two natural length scales in the pair potential, combined with effective three-body interactions arising from entropy. Our newly gained understanding of the stability of soft quasicrystals allows us to point at their region of stability in the phase diagram, and thereby may help control the self-assembly of quasicrystals and a variety of other desired structures in future experimental realizations.

description: The energy transition is one important approach to face the recent climate change problem [1, 2]. This includes providing the direct usage of electrical energy in all economic sectors [3]. The energy transition goes along with a raw materials change. Here, carbon dioxide (CO2) is an interesting raw material, which is produced in higher concentrations in power plants, waste incineration plants and the steel or cement industry [4, 5, 6]. Important for the usage of carbon dioxide as raw material will we a circular economy. Promising technologies therefore are technologies for capturing and converting carbon dioxide or to store it [7]. One major research focus of the recent years for converting CO2 is the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR). Here, both aspects of raw materials change from fossil raw materials to CO2 and to directly use electrical energy for chemical conversions are combined. Different catalysts materials can be used for this reaction depending on the major product of interest. Along the synthesized products, the CO2RR catalysts can be classified in different groups [8, 9]. Among these materials, copper is the unique one to be able to produce hydrocarbons directly out of carbon dioxide [10]. Hori et al. is known as a pioneer for the CO2RR with copper catalysts and he was successful in studying fundamental knowledge about this reaction [11, 12]. Since it is important to increase the resulting current density and thus the productivity of copper catalysts, research was focused on copper catalysts with higher surface areas. Therefore, research focused on nanoparticles [13] or dentritic copper materials, like copper foams [14]. These copper foam materials showed high selectivities for ethylene [15], which is one of the most interesting products in CO2RR. Further investigations on the selectivity of copper foam materials and how to influence the product formation is of a high interest. Besides the selectivity issue, also to achieve high current densities is important. Both issues will be investigated in this thesis.

Coevolutionary epidemiology : a population genetic exploration of evolutionary interactions between hosts and their infectious pathogens
Creators: name: MacPherson, Ailene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Coevolution between hosts and their parasites is widespread with important emergent consequences for natural systems from across the tree of life. The Red Queen Hypothesis suggests coevolution should maintain genetic variation in hosts and favour the evolution of sexual reproduction. Mathematical models have demonstrated that coevolutionary dynamics and the resulting effects on genetic variation and evolution of sex depend fundamentally on the genetic basis and life-history of the host-parasite interaction. Our understanding of the interaction genetics in natural systems is, however, still limited. In Chapter 2 I develop a statistical method based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify the genetic interactions between hosts and their parasites, demonstrating that inference of these genetic interactions is essential for a robust understanding of epidemiological traits. Classic models, including the one used in Chapter 2, consider the interaction between hosts and their free-living pathogens. Many pathogens are, however, directly transmitted between hosts and hence subject to epidemiological dynamics. In the Chapter 3, I consider the effects of these epidemiological dynamics on coevolution. We find, that epidemiological dynamics disrupt classic “Red Queen allele frequency cycles” observed in free-living pathogens, a change in dynamics that may limit the ability of coevolution to favour the evolution of sexual reproduction. Chapters 4 and 5 extend this by exploring the effects of epidemiological dynamics on the maintenance of genetic variation. Chapter 4 develops a baseline for the effect, examining the stochastic dynamics of heterozyogsity in a free-living pathogen population of constant size. In contrast to existing hypotheses, we find that coevolution in this classic model does not maintain genetic variation. In Chapter 5 we show that epidemiology can maintain genetic variation in hosts of directly transmitted pathogens, due in part to associated changes in population sizes. My thesis, therefore, demonstrates that, like other aspects of host and pathogen life-history, disease epidemiology fundamentally affects coevolutionary dynamics with implications for the evolution of sexual reproduction and the maintenance of genetic variation.
