Superstitions Regarding the Middle Ages

description: No student of local history can remain unfamiliar with the prevalence of local traditions or unimpressed by the hardy survival of some which he would' ordinarily be tempted to dismiss as unlikely, if not impossible. However little he may be tempted to believe them himself, he learns that to reject them summarily is dangerous. To tear the veil of romance ruthlessly is tactless: we cherish our illusions and resent the interference of those who make no secret of their zeal to dispel them. Unquestionably traditions exist which need careful examination, traditions which may have been embellished out of all proportion to truth but still retain traces of their primitive origin; and I should lay it down as a general rule that no tradition locally believed, and believed apparently from time immemorial, should be lightly laid aside until it has been sub-jected to a thorough sifting for such elements of truth as it may contain. Something of value may emerge from material that at first sight seems highly unpromising.
Catalogue of the Library of Leicester Abbey

description: IT is unnecessary to add more than a few brief explanatory sentences to this third instalment of the Leioester Abbey Catalogue, which concludes the text of the volume. Its first portion, following the numeration adopted by Dr. James, brings the main catalogue to an end, including Nos. 512 to 941, with fourteen service-books the names of which are added on f.44a. As Dr. James has pointed out in his Introduction, the task of numeration is complicated by the existence of entries which cannot be identi-fied with certainty as indicating separate volumes. This difficulty is less noticeable in the later than in the earlier portions of the catalogue, as the frequent series of cross-references, which seem sometimes to conceal the individuality of certain works included in them and sometimes defy verification, become very much fewer and shorter as the MS. proceeds. Three volumes, now numbered 513, 534, and 547, may be added to the list with some confidence.
Orthodoxy in Late Fifteenth Century Glass at Leicester

description: Twenty-nine unusual panels of medieval stained glass still survive at Leicester, little known outside the county except to specialists in glass. They are unusual on at least four counts: they can be dated with unusual precision; they are English domestic glass, created for a house rather than for a church; they present a point-of-view about orthodoxy that was of both local and international importance in the fifteenth century; and they are charming as works of art.

description: In 2014, Pila and Tsimerman gave a proof of the Ax-Schanuel conjecture for the $j$-function and, with Mok, have recently announced a proof of its generalization to any (pure) Shimura variety. We refer to this generalization as the hyperbolic Ax-Schanuel conjecture. In this article, we show that the hyperbolic Ax-Schanuel conjecture can be used to reduce the Zilber-Pink conjecture for Shimura varieties to a problem of point counting. We further show that this point counting problem can be tackled in a number of cases using the Pila-Wilkie counting theorem and several arithmetic conjectures. Our methods are inspired by previous applications of the Pila-Zannier method and, in particular, the recent proof by Habegger and Pila of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in abelian varieties.

description: In this chapter, we present a literature survey of an emerging, cutting-edge, and multi-disciplinary field of research at the intersection of Robotics and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) which we refer to as Robotic Wireless Sensor Networks (RWSN). We define a RWSN as an autonomous networked multi-robot system that aims to achieve certain sensing goals while meeting and maintaining certain communication performance requirements, through cooperative control, learning and adaptation. While both of the component areas, i.e., Robotics and WSN, are very well-known and well-explored, there exist a whole set of new opportunities and research directions at the intersection of these two fields which are relatively or even completely unexplored. One such example would be the use of a set of robotic routers to set up a temporary communication path between a sender and a receiver that uses the controlled mobility to the advantage of packet routing. We find that there exist only a limited number of articles to be directly categorized as RWSN related works whereas there exist a range of articles in the robotics and the WSN literature that are also relevant to this new field of research. To connect the dots, we first identify the core problems and research trends related to RWSN such as connectivity, localization, routing, and robust flow of information. Next, we classify the existing research on RWSN as well as the relevant state-of-the-arts from robotics and WSN community according to the problems and trends identified in the first step. Lastly, we analyze what is missing in the existing literature, and identify topics that require more research attention in the future.

A quasi-isometry invariant and thickness bounds for right-angled Coxeter groups
Creators: name: Levcovitz, Ivan
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)
subject: Group Theory (math.GR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We introduce a new quasi-isometry invariant of 2-dimensional right-angled Coxeter groups, the hypergraph index, that partitions these groups into infinitely many quasi-isometry classes, each containing infinitely many groups. Furthermore, the hypergraph index of any right-angled Coxeter group can be directly computed from the group's defining graph. The hypergraph index yields an upper bound for a right-angled Coxeter group's order of thickness, order of algebraic thickness and divergence function. Finally, given an integer n>1, we give examples of right-angled Coxeter groups which are thick of order n, yet are algebraically thick of order strictly larger than n, answering a question of Behrstock-Drutu-Mosher.

description: В статье обосновывается мнение о том, что пандемия COVID-19 представляет собой серьезную опасность. Большинство медицинских учреждений были не готовы к такому событию, были перепрофилированы и заполнены пациентами. В связи с тем, что распространение заболевания носит интенсивный характер, а медицинские ресурсы ограничены, создаются ситуации, при которых врачам приходится делать выбор между жизнью одного пациента и смертью другого. Проведённое исследование показало, что в действующем уголовном законодательстве не во всех случаях детализированы признаки состава преступлений, предусматривающих ответственность за неправомерную деятельность медицинских работников в период пандемии. Автор приходит к выводу о необходимости проведения дальнейшего изучения данной проблемы и выработки практических рекомендаций по действиям медицинских работников в сложившейся чрезвычайной ситуации.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 61, 8-23
description: In 1827 Francis Merewether, writing on the duties of the nobility and gentry towards the church, stated that Queen Anne's Bounty had 'done more for Religion and the Church in this kingdom, within the last twenty years, than any that can be named'; the purpose of this paper is to estimate the overall effect of Queen Anne's Bounty in the augmentation of Leicestershire's poor livings. Augmentation progress is examined against the background of contemporary dissatisfaction with the Established Church and the role of the Bounty, both with respect to this criticism and to its effectiveness as an agency of reform and improvement.

description: The second author introduced with I. Törmä a two-player word-building game [Playing with Subshifts, Fund. Inform. 132 (2014), 131--152]. The game has a predetermined (possibly finite) choice sequence $α_1$, $α_2$, $\ldots$ of integers such that on round $n$ the player $A$ chooses a subset $S_n$ of size $α_n$ of some fixed finite alphabet and the player $B$ picks a letter from the set $S_n$. The outcome is determined by whether the word obtained by concatenating the letters $B$ picked lies in a prescribed target set $X$ (a win for player $A$) or not (a win for player $B$). Typically, we consider $X$ to be a subshift. The winning shift $W(X)$ of a subshift $X$ is defined as the set of choice sequences for which $A$ has a winning strategy when the target set is the language of $X$. The winning shift $W(X)$ mirrors some properties of $X$. For instance, $W(X)$ and $X$ have the same entropy. Virtually nothing is known about the structure of the winning shifts of subshifts common in combinatorics on words. In this paper, we study the winning shifts of subshifts generated by marked uniform substitutions, and show that these winning shifts, viewed as subshifts, also have a substitutive structure. Particularly, we give an explicit description of the winning shift for the generalized Thue-Morse substitutions. It is known that $W(X)$ and $X$ have the same factor complexity. As an example application, we exploit this connection to give a simple derivation of the first difference and factor complexity functions of subshifts generated by marked substitutions. We describe these functions in particular detail for the generalized Thue-Morse substitutions.

description: Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy provides unprecedented insight into cellular and subcellular structures. However, going "beyond the diffraction barrier" comes at a price since most far-field super-resolution imaging techniques trade temporal for spatial super-resolution. We propose the combination of a novel label-free white light quantitative phase tomography with fluorescence imaging to provide high-speed imaging and spatial super-resolution. The non-iterative phase reconstruction relies on the acquisition of single images at each z-location and thus enables straightforward 3D phase imaging using a classical microscope. We realized multi-plane imaging using a customized prism for the simultaneous acquisition of 8 planes. This allowed us to not only image live cells in 3D at up to 200 Hz, but also to integrate fluorescence super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging within the same optical instrument. This 4D microscope platform unifies the sensitivity and high temporal resolution of phase tomography with the specificity and high spatial resolution of fluorescence imaging.

Quantum dynamics of a hydrogen-like atom in a time-dependent box: non-adiabatic regime

description: We consider a hydrogen atom confined in time-dependent trap created by a spherical impenetrable box with time-dependent radius. For such model we study the behavior of atomic electron under the (non-adiabatic) dynamical confinement caused by the rapidly moving wall of the box. The expectation values of the total and kinetic energy, average force, pressure and coordinate are analyzed as a function of time for linearly expanding, contracting and harmonically breathing boxes. It is shown that linearly extending box leads to de-excitation of the atom, while the rapidly contracting box causes the creation of very high pressure on the atom and transition of the atomic electron into the unbound state. In harmonically breathing box diffusive excitation of atomic electron may occur in analogy with that for atom in a microwave field.

$ε$-Regularity and Structure of 4-dimensional Shrinking Ricci Solitons
Creators: name: Huang, Shaosai
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A closed four dimensional manifold cannot possess a non-flat Ricci soliton metric with arbitrarily small $L^2$-norm of the curvature. In this paper, we localize this fact in the case of shrinking Ricci solitons by proving an $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem, thus confirming a conjecture of Cheeger-Tian. As applications, we will also derive structural results concerning the degeneration of the metrics on a family of complete non-compact four dimensional shrinking Ricci solitons without a uniform entropy lower bound. In the appendix, we provide a detailed account of the equivariant good chopping theorem when collapsing with locally bounded curvature happens.
title: Mapping Milesian Migration Processes and practices of migration in the Archaic Period (c. 700-475 BCE)
Creators: name: Knight, John Brendan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the processes and practice of migration through the case study of Milesian overseas settlements in the Archaic period (c.800-475). It substantiates critiques of colonialist approaches to the topic and offers a new theoretically rigorous methodology for approaching ancient migrations through the development of a model for interpreting migration in proto-historical contexts. The notion of approaching Greek colonisation as migration is not new but this study moves the discourse forward by grounding its approaches in theoretical debates and discussions of contemporary migration in other scholarly disciplines. By modelling migration as a multi-focal interstice between wider macro-historical processes of diffused movement in temporal and spatial contexts, and meso- and micro-historical individual and group practices it facilitates a clearer understanding of the complexity of movement and resettlement in the ancient world. Several important conclusions can be drawn from the application of this methodology to the case study of Miletos. Firstly, wider processes of Milesian migration did not occur within a vacuum but were embedded within wider processes of interaction with the local communities and polities they encountered in Anatolia, forest-steppe Skythia and the North Caucasus. Secondly, the drivers of emigration from Miletos were multivalent and acted as stimuli in different ways to different groups within Milesian society. Thirdly, access to migration capital within those social groups, such as elites and vocationally situated individuals, was key to their ability to undertake migration. Finally, the interactions of heterogenous socially and culturally positioned groups led, in time, to the development of negotiated forms of social practices and shared symbolic meanings. In the case of Milesian migration, this was manifested in overlapping communities of practice throughout the Propontis and Black Seas which formed a cultural koine which can be normatively termed “Milesian migrant culture”. The model developed here has been applied to the topic of Milesian migration, but it has been designed to offer utility in wider scholarly approaches to migration in proto-historical contexts, both ancient and modern. By approaching the available evidence from different but interrelated viewpoints it can synthesise the literary and material evidence for migration and offer methodological approaches for analysing its significance on a variety of scales. In sum, this study offers a valuable new way of exploring a topic which remains contentious in both scholarly and popular discourses and embraces its complexity and its extensive long-term consequence.

description: We study the fundamental question of the lattice dynamics of a metallic ferromagnet in the regime where the static long range magnetic order is replaced by the fluctuating local moments embedded in a metallic host. We use the \textit{ab initio} Density Functional Theory(DFT)+embedded Dynamical Mean-Field Theory(eDMFT) functional approach to address the dynamic stability of iron polymorphs and the phonon softening with increased temperature. We show that the non-harmonic and inhomogeneous phonon softening measured in iron is a result of the melting of the long range ferromagnetic order, and is unrelated to the first order structural transition from the BCC to the FCC phase, as is usually assumed. We predict that the BCC structure is dynamically stable at all temperatures at normal pressure, and is only thermodynamically unstable between the BCC-$α$ and the BCC-$δ$ phase of iron.

description: Quantization of energy is a quintessential characteristic of quantum systems. Here we analyze its effects on the operation of Otto cycle heat machines and show that energy quantization alone may alter and increase machine performance in terms of output power, efficiency, and even operation mode. Our results demonstrate that quantum thermodynamics enable the realization of classically inconceivable Otto machines, such as those with an incompressible working fluid. We propose to measure these effects experimentally using a laser-cooled trapped ion as a microscopic heat machine.

description: The John Wallace Watts, a prominent and respected member of this Society, died at South Croxton rectory on the Saturday before Christmas, 1922, and was buried in Gaddesby churchyard on the following Thursday. The funeral service was conducted by Archdeacon Macnutt, assisted by Canon Winckley, Canon James and the C. E. Jenkins, vicar of St. Paul's, Leicester, and in the large and representative congregation were Mr. Farnham, Mr. Fosbrooke, Mr. Routh, Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Albert Herbert, all colleagues of Mr. Watts upon our Committee, and several other members of the Society. Though Mr. Watts had for several months been in a grave condition, his death came as a surprise to us all, for about the beginning of December his illness had taken an apparently favourable turn, which gave delusive hopes of recovery. The demise of so capable a member, always ready to give of his best, at the comparatively early age of fifty-four, is a serious loss to the Society, and a personal grief to everyone associated with him in forwarding its aims and maintaining its efficiency.

description: The ISO 14001 voluntary standard is a blueprint for improving an organization’s environmental record and one of many tools available to address our planet’s ecological challenges. Since its introduction in 1996, adoption of the standard has surged globally, despite its significant costs. We examine the economic benefits to firms of being ISO 14001-certified by exploring whether certification results in a more efficient production process, using a panel of South Korean manufacturing firms and a stochastic frontier model with endogeneity. We find evidence that ISO 14001 certification significantly improves technical efficiency among high-polluting industries, increasing output by an average of 2.7%. This research enriches the empirical literature on voluntary environmental programs by showing that the standard improves technical efficiency among manufacturing firms. This may account for the popularity of the standard in South Korea, a global leader in manufacturing and exports, where its effects on efficiency have not been empirically examined.

The depositions, which consist of answers by eye-witnesses and others to interrogations that have not been preserved, form part of the evidence given in a suit between Sir Richard Sacheverell, knight, and his wife, Mary Lady Hungerford, who periodically lived with a large retinue of servants in the precincts of the Newarke at Leicester, on one side, and Thomas, 2nd marquis of Dorset, of Bradgate House, and his brothers, lords Leonard and John Grey, on the other. As all the recoverable depositions were made by persons who belonged to, or at any rate favoured, the Grey faction, it is not possible to form a complete and just estimate of the case as a whole; but the record so vividly illustrates certain phases of life in Leicester and the adjacent forest in the time of Henry VIII., that it can hardly fail to interest the sort of readers for whom this volume is intended. At Mr. Farnham's request, and with his help, I have supplied a number of footnotes to the text, and these perhaps need to be supplemented by a few brief introductory remarks.

description: We report a newly found two-stage mechanism of electron acceleration near X-lines of 3D collisionless guide-field magnetic reconnection in the non-relativistic regime typical, e.g., for stellar coronae. We found that after electrons are first pre-accelerated during the linear growth of reconnection, they become additionally accelerated in the course of the nonlinear stage of 3D guide-field magnetic reconnection. This additional acceleration is due to the filamentation of electric and magnetic fields caused by streaming instabilities. In addition to enhanced parallel electric fields, the filamentation leads to additional curvature-driven electron acceleration in the guide-field direction. As a result, part of the the accelerated electron spectra becomes a power law with a spectral index of $\sim-1.6$ near the X-line. This second stage of acceleration due to nonlinear reconnection is relevant for the production of energetic electrons in, e.g., thin current sheets of stellar coronae.

description: It is well-known that the Apéry sequences which arise in the irrationality proofs for $ζ(2)$ and $ζ(3)$ satisfy many intriguing arithmetic properties and are related to the $p$th Fourier coefficients of modular forms. In this paper, we prove that the connection to modular forms persists for sequences associated to Brown's cellular integrals and state a general conjecture concerning supercongruences.

Witt differentials in the h-topology

description: Recent important and powerful frameworks for the study of differential forms by Huber-Joerder and Huber-Kebekus-Kelly based on Voevodsky's h-topology have greatly simplified and unified many approaches. This article builds towards the goal of putting Illusie's de Rham-Witt complex in the same framework by exploring the h-sheafification of the rational de Rham-Witt differentials. Assuming resolution of singularities in positive characteristic one recovers a complete cohomological h-descent for all terms of the complex. We also provide unconditional h-descent for the global sections and draw the expected conclusions. The approach is to realize that a certain right Kan extension introduced by Huber-Kebekus-Kelly takes the sheaf of rational de Rham-Witt forms to a qfh-sheaf. As such, we state and prove many results about qfh-sheaves which are of independent interest.

description: This sequential mixed-methodological study explores the complexities of Internet use in Canada for immigrants and young people, with a particular focus on the digital lives of English Language Learner (ELL) newcomer youth. Incorporating data from the 2020 Canadian Internet Use Survey (CIUS), online surveys, and interviews with five ELL newcomer participants, the research challenges the existing literature by revealing that immigrant status may no longer be a predictor of digital inequity. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with CIUS data comparing immigrants and non-immigrants indicates that immigrants report more digital access, skills, and engagement in capital-enhancing activities online compared to their Canadian-born counterparts. A second ANOVA comparing younger Canadians with all other age groups showed significant age-related differences in mean index scores with statistically significant differences in terms of digital access, skills and engagement in capital-enhancing activities. In all cases, youth means were higher than means for all other age groups. The second phase of the research delves into the nuanced experiences of five ELL newcomer youth, highlighting their high levels of digital access and skills while underscoring their limited participation in advanced digital activities due to self-reported language proficiency and safety concerns online. This study emphasizes the necessity of probing beyond surface-level digital activities to comprehend underlying factors influencing digital experiences. This research study offers critical insights at both macro and micro levels that contribute to advancing knowledge, informing policy, and improving practices related to digital equity and the needs of ELL newcomers in Canada.
