Talking over water: history, wireless and the telephone
Creators: name: Given, Jock
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: For a third of the twentieth century, the only way Antipodeans could talk with people on the other side of the world was by wireless. The submarine cables that traversed the oceans from the 1860s carried messages in Morse code, ‘telegraphy’, but not voice. From 30 April 1930, the wireless telephone service made it possible to conduct a conversation in real time between England and Australia. This article explores the old era of international wireless telephony at a time when wireless is again transforming social and economic possibilities. It examines the economics and politics of the era, the man most closely identified with the Australian services, the technology employed and the way the service was used, identifying similarities and differences between this period and the present.

Zuletzt war im August 2003 Toronto wieder dran: Alles schon vorbei — und dann doch wieder neue Kranke im August. Das alles gab's in den Monaten zuvor ähnlich, so im Mai; zwanzig neue Erkrankungen, die World Health Organisation (WHO) reagierte prompt: Wegen des Infektionsrisikos wurde dringend davon abgeraten, die Stadt zu besuchen. Ein paar Wochen später war von all dem nicht mehr die Rede, nicht in Toronto, nicht in Singapur, nicht in Peking, um nur drei Brennpunkte des Geschehens zu nennen.

description: High-quality AI-generated portraits (“deepfakes”) are becoming increasingly prevalent. Understanding the responses they evoke in perceivers is crucial in assessing their societal implications. Here we investigate the impact of the belief that depicted persons are real or deepfakes on psychological and neural measures of human face perception. Using EEG, we tracked participants’ (N = 30) brain responses to real faces showing positive, neutral, and negative expressions, after being informed that they are either real or fake. Smiling faces marked as fake appeared less positive, as reflected in expression ratings, and induced slower evaluations. Whereas presumed real smiles elicited canonical emotion effects with differences relative to neutral faces in the P1 and N170 components (markers of early visual perception) and in the EPN component (indicative of reflexive emotional processing), presumed deepfake smiles showed none of these effects. Additionally, only smiles presumed as fake showed enhanced LPP activity compared to neutral faces, suggesting more effortful evaluation. Negative expressions induced typical emotion effects, whether considered real or fake. Our findings demonstrate a dampening effect on perceptual, emotional, and evaluative processing of presumed deepfake smiles, but not angry expressions, adding new specificity to the debate on the societal impact of AI-generated content.

description: Photon loss is one of the key challenges to overcome in complex photonic quantum applications. Photon collection efficiencies directly impact the amount of resources required for measurement‐based quantum computation and communication networks. Promising resources include solid‐state quantum light sources. However, efficiently coupling light from a single quantum emitter to a guided mode remains demanding. In this work, photon losses are eliminated by maximizing coupling efficiencies in an emitter‐to‐fiber interface. A waveguide‐integrated ‘Sawfish’ photonic crystal cavity is developed and finite element (FEM) simulations are employed to demonstrate that such an emitter‐to‐fiber interface transfers, with 97.4 % efficiency, the zero‐phonon line (ZPL) emission of a negatively‐charged tin vacancy center in diamond (SnV−) adiabatically to a single‐mode fiber. A surrogate model trained by machine learning provides quantitative estimates of sensitivities to fabrication tolerances. The corrugation‐based Sawfish design proves robust under state‐of‐the‐art nanofabrication parameters, maintaining an emitter‐to‐fiber coupling efficiency of 88.6 %. Applying the Sawfish cavity to a recent one‐way quantum repeater protocol substantiates its potential in reducing resource requirements in quantum communication.

Salmonella biofilm formation and its control in pig and poultry production environments
Creators: name: OASTLER, CLAIRE ELIZABETH
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: Salmonella can survive and persist in the environment, acting as a reservoir for infection of animals and ultimately humans through the food chain. Biofilm formation contributes to Salmonella survival and compromises cleaning and disinfection. The overall objective of the research detailed in this thesis was to further understand biofilm formation by Salmonella in pig and poultry production environments.
description: Biofilm formation by 132 Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica environmental isolates was studied by phenotypic characterisation, genomic analysis, and representative in vitro biofilm models. Biofilm-forming ability was assessed using the crystal violet microplate assay at environmentally relevant temperatures, with analysis of the influence of serovar, culture conditions and source environment. Bacterial motility, growth kinetics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles and colony morphology were also studied. A subset of isolates were analysed using whole-genome sequencing and then screened for genes associated with biofilm formation, AMR, and tolerance to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), with comparative genomic analysis of phenotype-genotype associations. A subset of S. 13,23:i:- isolates were evaluated for their tolerance to commercial disinfectants using modified coupon-based and metabolic microplate-based assays. Finally, biofilm formation was assessed in a developed in vitro model of a poultry drinking water system (DWS).
description: Most Salmonella isolates (130/132), representing a range of serovars, formed in vitro biofilms to varying degrees. Differences were observed, particularly between serovars, in planktonic and biofilm phenotypes and the prevalence of biofilm-associated genes and AMR determinants. However, any definitive conclusions regarding the factors influencing in vitro biofilm formation could not be reached. The findings suggest that the persistence of S. 13,23:i:- in the hatchery environment and its observed tolerance to Benzalkonium-chloride and QAC-/glutaraldehyde-based disinfectants may be facilitated by biofilm formation and/or the presence of QAC tolerance genes. In the poultry DWS model, biofilms were formed and quantified successfully, despite inoculation with low levels of bacteria.
description: The studies presented in this thesis provide new information about biofilm formation by Salmonella originating from pig and poultry production environments, and the poultry DWS provides a novel in vitro method for the study of biofilm formation under realistic conditions. These findings may be used to inform improved Salmonella control during primary production of food-producing animals.

"Too complex for IAPT" : service-user experiences of accessing specialist services and the process of being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Creators: name: Ingram, Niamh
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Background: There have been significant advances in research, treatment, policy and service provision for people diagnosed with a personality disorder in England. However, diagnoses such as borderline personality disorder (BPD), continue to be controversial due to the validity of the construct itself, the ability of clinicians to diagnose reliably, and the significant impact stigma can have on those diagnosed. Aims: This study aims to provide a current service-user perspective on the diagnostic process in BPD within specialist PD outpatient services. It specifically focuses on how service-users perceive this process to influence how they understand themselves, given that past research has indicated a BPD diagnosis can influence self-concept, and understanding of their mental health, given research has highlighted a lack of clarity from professionals about the diagnosis. Method: Data were collected from six in-depth interviews with people currently accessing complex needs services, within a London NHS trust, who had experienced the diagnostic process in BPD. Transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Results: Two superordinate themes emerged from the data: “Making sense of a BPD diagnosis” which encapsulated participants’ experiences of understanding the diagnosis, in terms of whether it “fitted” from their perspective, how it made sense of traumatic and challenging past experiences and the clarity they received from professionals; “Struggling to get what I need from services” which captures participants’ experiences of needing to reach crisis point and exhaust all other treatment options before accessing specialist assessment and treatment. Conclusions: Service-users continue to experience a lack of clarity during the diagnostic process in BPD, particularly within secondary care, and feel they struggle to access the specialist support they need. The diagnostic process is an opportunity to help service-users make sense of their current difficulties and past experiences, and to help them feel fully informed about treatment choices.

Inhomogeneous semi-linear wave equations
Creators: name: BROOKS, JACOB
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis we study semi-linear wave equations with spatial inhomogeneity. The spatial inhomogeneity corresponds to a localised spatially dependent scaling of the nonlinear potential term. This thesis will consider the existence of stationary fronts and the dynamics of travelling solutions.
description: In the first part of the thesis we investigate the existence of stationary fronts in a coupled system of two sine-Gordon equations with a smooth, ``hat-like'' spatial inhomogeneity. The uncoupled inhomogeneous sine-Gordon equation has stable stationary front solutions that persist in the coupled system. Carrying out a numerical investigation it is found that these inhomogeneous sine-Gordon fronts lose stability, provided the coupling between the two inhomogeneous sine-Gordon equations is strong enough, with new stable fronts bifurcating. In order to analytically study the bifurcating fronts, we first approximate the smooth, ``hat-like'' spatial inhomogeneity by a piecewise constant function. With this approximation, we can treat the inhomogeneous sine-Gordon equation as homogeneous sine-Gordon equations in each of the three regions of the piecewise constant function. Doing so we can then construct stationary front solutions explicitly and prove analytically the existence of a pitchfork bifurcation. To complete the argument, we prove that transverse fronts for a piecewise constant inhomogeneity persist for the smooth ``hat-like'' spatial inhomogeneity by introducing a fast-slow structure and using geometric singular perturbation theory.
description: In the second part of the thesis we investigate the dynamics of travelling solutions to semi-linear wave equations with a piecewise constant spatial inhomogeneity. We assume the underlying homogeneous semi-linear wave equations possess travelling front solutions which can be interpreted as a two parameter family of wave shapes. We show that travelling solutions to the inhomogeneous semi-linear wave equation can be decomposed as a unique wave shape within the family plus a remainder which lies in some subspace, for some time interval to be determined. Carrying out a numerical investigation we show that this decomposition holds for long time intervals. Finally, given initial data that can be decomposed as a subset of the family of wave shapes with small remainder term, we show the decomposition holds for all time analytically.

description: Previous winery-based studies showed the strains Lalvin® RC212 (RC212) and Lalvin® ICV-D254 (D254), when present together during fermentation, contributed to >80% relative abundance of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae population in inoculated and spontaneous fermentations. In these studies, D254 appeared to out-compete RC212, even when RC212 was used as the inoculant. In the present study, under controlled conditions, we tested the hypotheses that D254 would out-compete RC212 during fermentation and have a greater impact on key fermentation-derived chemicals. The experiment consisted of four fermentation treatments, each conducted in triplicate: a pure culture control of RC212; a pure culture control of D254; a 1:1 co-inoculation ratio of RC212:D254; and a 4:1 co-inoculation ratio of RC212:D254. Strain abundance was monitored at four stages. Inoculation ratios remained the same throughout fermentation, indicating an absence of competitive exclusion by either strain. The chemical profile of the 1:1 treatment closely resembled pure D254 fermentations, suggesting D254, under laboratory conditions, had a greater influence on the selected sensory compounds than did RC212. Nevertheless, the chemical profile of the 4:1 treatment, in which RC212 dominated, resembled that of pure RC212 fermentations. Our results support the idea that co-inoculation of strains creates a new chemical profile not seen in the pure cultures. These findings may have implications for winemakers looking to control wine aroma and flavor profiles through strain selection.

The influence of position in the sleep wake cycle on the functional brain processes involved in memory consolidation during acquisition of an artificial language (BROCANTO).
Creators: name: Cooper, Alison C.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: The neurological basis of learning an artificial language ‘BROCANTO’, and how this is influenced by sleep wake cycle position, was investigated using fMRI. BROCANTO requires both declarative (vocabulary) and procedural (grammar) processes. Behavioural results show equivalent performance can be reached with different declarative and procedural trajectories, with peak learning at 3pm and 24 hours consolidation. Right IFG, and left BA6 are key regions responding independently of performance, at this time. Left BA6 and right thalamus respond to the interaction between consolidation and morning/evening training. During rest, the connection between the hippocampus and IFG that is stronger in the morning and negative post task, especially on the right, indicating a BROCANTO learning related disconnection. IFG connectivity is particularly responsive to the experimental conditions during rest. In a PPI task analysis, the hippocampus input to the thalamus strengthens at the second session in the morning, and its connections to right IFG and BA6 decline, when its input to IFG is negative. Connections between IFG and BA6 and thalamus and BA6 are key. The connection between left BA6 and left IFG, responds to the interaction between consolidation and sleep/wake cycle, during task and rest. Together, the results suggest a hub role for BA6, modulated by the thalamus. This could represent an essential core BROCANTO processing system, mediating between declarative and procedural learning to be investigated further. The combined results do indicate that consolidation facilitates a shift towards procedural processing, and that its functional neural pathway is influenced by the sleep wake cycle. Analysis with further temporal information, and to identify strength and direction of connections would be needed to further clarify the mechanism. These findings can inform network models of language such as the ‘dorsal and ventral’ stream, with a view to developing optimal training schedules to benefit flexible study and work patterns.
Three essays on the effect of regulations on corporate capital structure, investment & performance.
Creators: name: Saher, Zoya
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This research aims to examine the effects of regulations and institutions on key decisions of a firm. These include firm’s capital structure and investment decisions, which in turn affect firm performance. In particular, we consider India’s emerging market economy and the UK’s developed economy as specific case studies. The Thesis consists of three key empirical papers. In the first paper, we use the introduction and completion of Clause 49, a transparency and disclosure reform aimed at strengthening investor protection, as a natural experiment to estimate the effect of increased disclosure on reliance of debt/equity using firm-level panel data for the period 1996-2014. This helps us to redress the potential endogeneity of firm-level disclosure on capital structure decisions. Estimates of difference-in-difference models suggest that the introduction and completion of Clause 49 led to a greater (lower) reliance on equity (debt) and also a reduction in reliance on bank loans among domestic listed (relative to cross-listed) Indian firms in our sample; however, similar effect was not observed among firms belonging to business groups. We then explore possible channels through which increased disclosure can influence capital structure choices of different groups of firms. In the second paper, we examine the effects of executive compensation on corporate capital structure and market performance using the introduction of Director’s Remuneration Regulation (DRR2013) in the UK as a natural experiment. Given the potential endogeneity of executive compensation, we use the introduction of DRR2013 as a natural experiment to identify the causal effect of executive compensation on corporate capital structure in the UK. Results from our analysis suggest that an increase in equity based compensation share decreases firm’s reliance on debt and improves firm performance; an increase in bonus compensation share, however, leads to an increase in reliance on debt but doesn’t seem to have a significant effect on performance. We attribute these results to the debt agency theory, after controlling for managerial over-confidence indices. Finally, the last paper uses India’s historical land ceiling legislation to estimate its effect on land acquisition for industries affecting corporate investment in India. We argue that the implementation of the land ceiling legislations had increased the transaction costs of buying land and the price premium firms pay when acquiring land, thus inducing firms to invest less in land and capital. Moreover, the adverse effect of land ceiling legislations is worse in states with more fertile land that had lower ceiling size under the ceiling legislation. Analysis using the state-level data over 1960-85 during the period most of these legislations were formulated confirms our conjecture; the adverse effects of lower ceiling size on corporate investment seem to persist in the long- run over 1960-2015.

Diese relativ geringe Menge — Afghanistan produziert circa 3.000 Tonnen, Burma über 2.000 Tonnen — bietet eigentlich eine Chance für die wirtschaftlich arme Volksrepublik Laos. Denn weltweit werden offiziell jährlich 1.200 Tonnen Opium für die Pharmaindustrie und Forschung benötigt.

description: Malaria stellt für nahezu die Hälfte der Weltbevölkerung eine Bedrohung dar. Mit geschätzten 200 Millionen neuen Fällen und ein bis zwei Millionen Toten pro Jahr bleibt Malaria eine wesentliche Ursache von Krankheit und Tod. Seit der Einführung von insektizid behandelten Moskitonetzen in den 1980er Jahren ist keine neue Methode zur Kontrolle von Malaria entwickelt worden und auch in naher Zukunft wird dies nicht erwartet. (Dieser Beitrag ist dem Bulletin of The World Health Organisation entnommen. Er wurde von Susanne Wünsch und Eberhard Knappe gekürzt und aus dem Englischen übersetzt.)

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This presentation constitutes the outcome of a three-weeks capacity building activity on Energy Access Explorer (EAE) as part of the 2024 Energy Modelling Platform - Global workshop. The authors collected input data, processed, and integrated data into EAE Nigeria through EAE’s content management system, created a front-end version of EAE Nigeria, and developed different analytical scenarios using the data for Nigeria in order to explore pathways leading to the achievement of data-informed, integrated, and inclusive energy planning. The results of this analysis are not conclusive, but rather the output of experimentation with the model and thus only indicative. You may contact the author for more information and/or questions about the methodology, limitations, and follow-up activities of this study.
Association of breakfast consumption with body mass index and prevalence of overweight/obesity in a nationally-representative survey of Canadian adults

description: Background: This study examined the association of breakfast consumption, and the type of breakfast consumed, with body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) and prevalence rates and odds ratios (OR) of overweight/obesity among Canadian adults. These associations were examined by age group and sex. Methods We used data from non-pregnant, non-lactating participants aged ≥ 18 years (n = 12,377) in the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.2, a population-based, nationally-representative, cross-sectional study. Height and weight were measured, and BMI was calculated. Breakfast consumption was self-reported during a standardized 24-h recall; individuals were classified as breakfast non-consumers, consumers of breakfasts that included ready-to-eat cereal (RTEC) or as other breakfast consumers. Mean BMI and prevalence and OR of overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25) were compared among breakfast groups, with adjustment for sociodemographic variables (including age, sex, race, marital status, food security, language spoken at home, physical activity category, smoking, education level and supplement use). Results For the entire sample, mean BMI was significantly lower among RTEC-breakfast consumers than other breakfast consumers (mean ± SE 26.5 ± 0.2 vs. 27.1 ± 0.1 kg/m2), but neither group differed significantly from breakfast non-consumers (27.1 ± 0.3 kg/m2). Similar results were seen in women only, but BMI of men did not differ by breakfast category. Overweight/obesity prevalence and OR did not differ among breakfast groups for the entire sample or for all men and women separately. When examined by sex and age group, differences were inconsistent, but tended to be more apparent in women than men. Conclusion Among Canadian adults, breakfast consumption was not consistently associated with differences in BMI or overweight/obesity prevalence.

DESCRIPTION
Cerioid massive corallum forming small, rounded, pluricentrimetric colonies. The calices are subcircular to polygonal and multiply by extracalicular increase. Radial elements are straight, free or joined, subcompact septa with welldefined but quite irregular trabecular structure producing irregular granules on lateral faces. The inner edge of septa is sometimes swollen or paliform. The septal apparatus is organized in 3 distinct size orders and sometimes the firstorder septa reach the axial styliform columella. Endotheca made of many vesicular dissepiments. Synapticulae not observed. Wall present, of undetermined nature. No holotheca observed.
Calicular diameter: 1.1 to 4.2 mm – Distance between calice centers: 1.5 to 3.5 mm – Number of septa: 16 to 32 – Septal density: 3 to 5 per 1 mm.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
The comparison with the numerous Triassic and Jurassic species of the genera cited above is still to be done.

Mobilizing scientific discourse to rebrand organizational identity

description: Traditionally interest in the marketing of food has focused on understanding purchase choice rather than food consumption or branding. However, more recently the symbolic dimensions of food and the cultural context in which it is consumed, rather than the physical attributes of the product, are highlighted (Kniazeva and Ventkatesh, 2007; Berger and Rand, 2008; Thompson, 2004). From this perspective, food is understood as both a commodity and a metaphor (eg. Fast Food Nation, Schlosser; 2001). In this paper we examine the branding of food and how organizations deploy scientific discourse in order to shift consumer understandings of food brands and the organizations that produce them. We propose that food science not only changes the process of food production but also changes the meanings that consumers attribute to food brands. Our analysis utilises Foucault's (1988) theory of discourse technologies - including technologies of production, sign systems, power, and the self - to explore the use of scientific discourse in the branding of food products and food organizations (Motion and Leitch, 2002). The application of science may facilitate a discursive shift in which a product that was conceived as a food is rebranded as a nutraceutical or medicine and the organizational identity is similarly transformed.

description: Spätestens seit dem GATS-Abkommen ist der Globale Wettbewerb nicht nur auf Waren und Kapitalmärkte begrenzt; auch die Dienstleistungsindustrie unterliegt dem globalen Wettlauf. Im Gesundheitssektor ist es zu einer wachsenden Konkurrenz zwischen privaten und staatlichen Anbietern gekommen. Private Krankenhäuser und Gesundheitszentren locken die reichen Mitglieder der Gesellschaft an und überlassen dem staatlichen Gesundheitssystem die Aufgaben, die Versorgung in ländlichen Regionen sicherzustellen und die Kosten für die arme Bevölkerung zu übernehmen.
