description: We have extracted the ratio $|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}|$ from a combined study of the available inputs on $\bar{B}\to (π,ρ,ω)\ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ and $\bar{B}(\bar{B}_s)\to (D^{(\ast)}, D_s^{(\ast)})\ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ ($\ell = μ$ or $e$) decays. We have done our analysis with and without the inclusion of the available experimental results on the branching fraction $\mathcal{BR}(\bar{B}_s\to K^+μ^-\barν_μ)$ or the ratio of the rates $Γ(\bar{B}_s\to K^+ \ell^-\barν_{\ell})/ Γ(\bar{B}_s \to D_s^+ \ell^- \barν_{\ell})$. We have used all the available experimental data on the branching fractions in different $q^2$-bins, the available theory inputs on the form factors from lattice and the light cone sum rule (LCSR) approach; analysed the data in different possible scenarios and presented the results. From a combined analysis of all the $b\to c\ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ exclusive decays, we have obtained $|V_{cb}|=(40.5 \pm 0.6)\times 10^{-3}$ and from all the $b\to u\ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ modes, we obtain $|V_{ub}|=(3.46\pm 0.12)\times 10^{-3}$ which changes to $|V_{ub}|=(3.51 \pm 0.13)\times 10^{-3}$ after dropping $\mathcal{BR}(\bar{B}_s\to K^+μ^-\barν_μ)$. We hence report the values of the ratio $|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}| = 0.085 \pm 0.003$ and $0.087 \pm 0.003$ with and without the input from $\bar{B}_s\to K^+μ^-\barν_μ$ modes, respectively. We have also predicted the ratio $Γ(\bar{B}_s\to K^+ \ell^-\barν_{\ell})/ Γ(\bar{B}_s \to D_s^+ \ell^- \barν_{\ell})$ using the fit results. In addition, we provide the predictions of $\mathcal{BR}(\bar{B}_s\to K^+μ^-\barν_μ)$ and $\mathcal{BR}(\bar{B}\to (ρ,ω)\ell^- \barν_{\ell})$ in the Standard Model (SM) in small $q^2$-bins.

description: The exact Lyapunov dimension formula for the Lorenz system has been analytically obtained first due to G.A.Leonov in 2002 under certain restrictions on parameters, permitting classical values. He used the construction technique of special Lyapunov-type functions developed by him in 1991 year. Later it was shown that the consideration of larger class of Lyapunov-type functions permits proving the validity of this formula for all parameters of the system such that all the equilibria of the system are hyperbolically unstable. In the present work it is proved the validity of the formula for Lyapunov dimension for a wider variety of parameters values, which include all parameters satisfying the classical physical limitations. One of the motivation of this work is the possibility of computing a chaotic attractor in the Lorenz system in the case of one unstable and two stable equilibria.

title: Investor Horizon and Corporate Innovation

description: Innovation is crucial to corporate long-run growth and competitiveness. There exist gaps in the current literature on investor horizon and corporate innovation. The relationship between institutional investor horizon and innovation is inconclusive, and the role of exit on innovation lacks examination. In this thesis, we first investigate whether longer investor horizon can lead to more innovation. Chapter 3 develops a non-linear model and estimates it using a sample of U.S. public firms. We find an inverted-U relationship between horizon and innovation. This indicates a positive effect of horizon on innovation and the effect diminishes if the horizon is too long. These results call for a study of the negative side of long investment horizon. Chapter 4 argues that worsening price informativeness and lifting agency costs may be two disadvantages of long horizon. It then studies whether exit by investors improves stock price efficiency and whether an increase in price efficiency leads to more innovation. The positive role of exit on price efficiency is supported by empirical evidence. Also, Chapter 4 finds positive relationship between price efficiency and innovation. These findings support that exit has the potential to mitigate information asymmetry and agency costs between managers and investors. Chapter 4 also provides reasons why holding stocks too long may impede innovation. Chapter 5 aims to tackle the contradiction between long horizon and frequent exit, both of which are important to innovation as demonstrated in Chapter 3 and 4. Chapter 5 investigates whether investors could maintain a relatively long investing period while show threat of exit to motivate managers at the same time. Using the triple differences approach, Chapter 5 finds that there is a complementary effect between long horizon and threat of exit in promoting innovation. The positive effect of long horizon on innovation could be strengthened by threat of exit of institutional investors.

title: Investigating Chinese travellers’ motivations: From the individual, market to country level
Creators: name: Qin, Lei
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2027

description: The aim of this thesis is to investigate Chinese travellers’ motivations in both shared accommodations and tourism destination choices by applying a mixed methodology (qualitative and quantitative analysis) that employs both primary data collection techniques (e.g. semi-structural interview and survey research) and secondary database. Despite the extensive studies that have been made on travellers’ motivations in the selection of destination, traditional hotels and other accommodation modes (e.g. shared accommodations), research on Chinese travellers’ motivations systematically with considerable classification of travellers’ types remains limited. Of particular note are findings that extend the present tourism research by investigating Chinese travellers’ individual motivations, motivation-based tourism market segmentations and outbound tourism destination choices. Three studies in this thesis are internally linked with each other by “motivations” and illustrate Chinese travellers’ motivations from 1) tracking first-time travellers’ changes in motivations, before and after the trip, at individual level, 2) comparing heterogeneities between the motivation-based segments of pre-adopters (potential travellers) and post-adopters (actual travellers) at market level, and 3) examining the impact of cultural distance on outbound tourism flow at country level. This thesis provides the extensive contributions from the theoretical perspective by identifying the motivations that affect travellers’ decision process of shared accommodations and outbound destinations systematically, developing travellers’ types at different adoption stage and expanding the interdisciplinary theories and models of tourism research from adjacent fields. Moreover, the current thesis underlines practical contributions for tourism service practitioners by providing marketing strategies to target travellers at different adoption stages and segments, and providing useful information for regional public to influence travellers’ experience based on their countries of origin and to further promote their destinations, as well as the methods of doing so.

description: Groundwater is usually utilized as a drinking water asset everywhere. Therefore, groundwater defilement by poisonous radioactive metals such as uranium (VI) is a major concern due to the increase in nuclear power plants as well as their by-products which are released into the watercourses. Waste Uranium (VI) can be regarded as a by-product of the enrichment method used to produce atomic energy, and the hazard associated with this is due to the uranium radioactivity causing toxicity. To manage these confronts, there are so many techniques that have been introduced but among those adsorptions is recognized as a straightforward, successful, and monetary innovation, which has gotten major interest nowadays, despite specific drawbacks regarding operational as well as functional applications. This review summarizes the various adsorbents such as Bio-adsorbent/green materials, metal oxide-based adsorbent, polymer based adsorbent, graphene oxide based adsorbent, and magnetic nanomaterials and discuss their synthesis methods. Furthermore, this paper emphasis on adsorption process by various adsorbents or modified forms under different physicochemical conditions. In addition to this adsorption mechanism of uranium (VI) onto different adsorbent is studied in this article. Finally, from the literature reviewed conclusion have been drawn and also proposed few future research suggestions.

description: Instrumental variable (IV) methods can correct for unmeasured confounding when using administrative (claims) data for cardiovascular outcomes research, but difficulties identifying valid IVs have limited their use. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting coronary stents (DES) compared to bare metal stents (BMS) for Medicare beneficiaries with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) using the rapid uptake of DES in clinical practice as an instrument. We compared results from IV to those from propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariable regression models.

description: Mobile devices store a diverse set of private user data and have gradually become a hub to control users' other personal Internet-of-Things devices. Access control on mobile devices is therefore highly important. The widely accepted solution is to protect access by asking for a password. However, password authentication is tedious, e.g., a user needs to input a password every time she wants to use the device. Moreover, existing biometrics such as face, fingerprint, and touch behaviors are vulnerable to forgery attacks. We propose a new touch-based biometric authentication system that is passive and secure against forgery attacks. In our touch-based authentication, a user's touch behaviors are a function of some random "secret". The user can subconsciously know the secret while touching the device's screen. However, an attacker cannot know the secret at the time of attack, which makes it challenging to perform forgery attacks even if the attacker has already obtained the user's touch behaviors. We evaluate our touch-based authentication system by collecting data from 25 subjects. Results are promising: the random secrets do not influence user experience and, for targeted forgery attacks, our system achieves 0.18 smaller Equal Error Rates (EERs) than previous touch-based authentication.

description: This paper is concerned with distributed computation of several commonly used centrality measures in complex networks. In particular, we propose deterministic algorithms, which converge in finite time, for the distributed computation of the degree, closeness and betweenness centrality measures in directed graphs. Regarding eigenvector centrality, we consider the PageRank problem as its typical variant, and design distributed randomized algorithms to compute PageRank for both fixed and time-varying graphs. A key feature of the proposed algorithms is that they do not require to know the network size, which can be simultaneously estimated at every node, and that they are clock-free. To address the PageRank problem of time-varying graphs, we introduce the novel concept of persistent graph, which eliminates the effect of spamming nodes. Moreover, we prove that these algorithms converge almost surely and in the sense of $L^p$. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is illustrated via extensive simulations using a classical benchmark.

Optimal control of dissipation and work fluctuations for rapidly driven systems

description: To achieve efficient and reliable control of microscopic systems one should look for driving protocols that mitigate both the average dissipation and stochastic fluctuations in work. This is especially important in fast driving regimes in which the system is driven far out of equilibrium, potentially creating large amounts of unwanted entropy production. Here we characterise these optimal protocols in rapidly driven classical and quantum systems and prove that they consist of two discontinuous jumps in the full set of control variables. These jumps can be tuned to interpolate between processes with either minimal dissipation or minimal fluctuations, and in some situations allow for simultaneous minimisation. We illustrate our general results with rapidly driven closed quantum systems, classical bit erasure and a dissipative Ising chain driven close to a quantum phase transition.

description: We report on an identification of a new gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (gamma-NLS1), SDSS J095909.51+460014.3 (z = 0.399), by establishing an association with a gamma-ray source 4FGL 0959.6+4606, although its low-energy counterpart was suggested to be a radio galaxy 2MASX J09591976+4603515. WISE long-term light curves of these two sources reveal diverse infrared variability patterns. Brightenings of 2.5 mag are detected for the former source, while flux decays of 0.5 mag are found for the other one. More importantly, the time that the infrared flux of the NLS1 rises, is coincident with the time of flux increase of 4FGL 0959.6+4606. At the same time, no infrared activity of the radio galaxy has been observed. A specific analysis of 15-month Fermi-LAT data, aiming at the high gamma-ray flux state, yields a significant source (TS =43). The corresponding gamma-ray localization analysis suggests that only the NLS1 falls into the uncertainty area, further supporting the updated association relationship. A broadband spectral energy distribution of SDSS J095909.51+460014.3 has been drawn and well described by the classic single-zone homogeneous leptonic jet model. Its jet properties are investigated and found to be comparable with the known gamma-NLS1s.

description: Recognising the rise of fictional cult groups within contemporary post-/apocalyptic fictions, and considering both anticult discourses and academic scholarship that locate the “cult” as a threat to societal stability, this thesis locates the cult as a trope employed by future-thinking authors to create counternarratives to oppression – breaking down structures of hegemonic power through end-world events, and creating cult groups to facilitate societal critique through their positioning as microtopias (Edwards, 2009). This thesis explores North American hegemonic discourses, considering three key social identities: masculinity, race, and womanhood. It addresses the historical, religious, and political contexts that produce(d) the systemic regimes of oppression implemented by those in power upon marginalised peoples across the western world, and tackles issues of marginality, silencing, and abjection. Taking a cultural materialist approach, it engages with twentieth- and twenty-first century North American fictions; encompassing novels (Parable of the Sower (1993); Parable of the Talents (1998); The Leftovers (2012); The Power (2016); Gather the Daughters (2017); The Testaments (2018)), television series (The Leftovers (2014-2017)), films (Far Cry 5: Inside Eden’s Gate (2018)), and video games (Far Cry 5 (2018); Days Gone (2019); The Last of Us Part II (2020)), alongside social media, political, and religious engagement. Analysing the works of Gramsci (1999), Klein (2008), Harvey and Moten (2013), Tyler (2013), Solnit (2016, 2017), and DiTommaso (2020), this thesis emphasises how hegemonic bodies of power develop and maintain structures of oppression, marginalisation, and delegitimization, identifying marginal communities as potential sources of counter-hegemonic resistance and exemplifying the ways the hegemon endeavour to silence their resistive action. Ultimately, this thesis provides a framework for understanding the post-/apocalyptic genre as a space of totalising rupture; the perfect environment to challenge hegemonic structures within contemporary society, and develop future-thinking, counter-hegemonic spaces of resistance – revealing the prisons of hegemonic culture, and the methods by which such chains can be broken.

title: Influence of External pH and Organic Acids on Internal pH and Acid Anion Accumulation in Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli
Creators: name: Branson, Savannah R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli are both among the most common microbial pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses and death. They both are capable of growing over a wide range of conditions. Organic acids are widely employed in the food industry to control growth of these pathogens to help prevent foodborne illnesses. There is substantial evidence that intracellular accumulation of organic acid anions is a major inhibitor to cell growth, and that many bacteria may combat anion accumulation by lowering their intracellular pH (pHi). In this study, we followed the accumulation of acid anion into the cell pellet and parallel changes in pHi in two human pathogenic strains of L. monocytogenes (N1-227 and R2-499) and in E. coli O157:H7 after exposure to sub-bacteriostatic levels of lactic and acetic acids at mildly acidic pH 6.
Cells were exposed to two controls, or to acetic or lactic acid. The accumulation of anions into the cell pellet and pHi was measured after 60 minutes habituation in these treatments.It is noteworthy that our measures of anion accumulation and pHi were independent rather than being confounded as when employing the common practice of calculating intracellular concentration of anions based on difference in internal and external pH, or conversely calculating pHi based on intracellular accumulation of acid anion.
All three bacteria accumulated up to 3 times more acetate anion into the cell pellet compared to their external environment. L. monocytogenes accumulated less lactate than acetate anion, and E. coli did not significantly accumulate lactate. The values for anion accumulation into the pellet were much less than expected based on previous reports and predicted by the measured difference in internal and external pH. Exposure of E. coli to organic acids did not induce a change in pHi from its baseline pHi. In contrast, exposure of L. monocytogenes N1-227 and R2-499 to the organic acids induced lowered pHi as compared to baseline in both strains. In summary, Listeria and E. coli were exposed to non-bacteriostatic levels of external organic acids at mildly acidic pH 6. Listeria accumulated more acetate than lactate while mounting a defense against anion accumulation that included lowering its pHi, while E. coli accumulated only acetate and apparently made use of combat mechanisms other than lowering pHi not explored in this study. The methodology employed in these studies was based on independent measures of pHi and intracellular anion accumulation, and the resulting data brings into question the common, but confounding, practice of using intracellular anion accumulation as a measure of pHi, and vice versa.

description: Exercise training is recommended for chronic heart failure (HF) patients to improve functional status and reduce risk of adverse outcomes. Elevated plasma levels of amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes in this patient population. Whether exercise training leads to improvements in biomarkers and how such improvements relate to clinical outcomes are unclear.

description: The American Heart Association (AHA) established recommendations based on 7 ideal health behaviors and factors with the goal of improving cardiovascular health (CVH) and reducing both morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) by 20% by 2020. Few studies have investigated their association with subclinical coronary heart disease (CHD). We sought to examine whether the 7 AHA CVH metrics were associated with calcified atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries.
Data Curation Log Template
Creators: name: Chemorion, Francis
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: data curation

description: The Data Curation Log Template is a comprehensive tool designed to assist data curators in evaluating and enhancing their data curation practices within an organization. It provides a structured approach to assess the maturity of data management using the Data Curation Maturity Model (DCMM) and FAIR principles, focusing on a range of activities that ensure data remains accessible, reliable, and reusable throughout its lifecycle. The template follows the CURATE(D) workflow, comprising seven critical steps: Check, Understand, Request, Augment, Transform, Evaluate, and Document. Each step involves specific tasks scored on a scale from 0 (not done) to 2 (fully done), contributing to a cumulative score that determines the dataset's maturity level.

The scoring framework is categorized into five maturity levels: Initial (Ad Hoc), Managed (Repeatable), Defined (Standardized), Quantitatively Managed (Measured), and Optimizing (Continuously Improving). Each level reflects the organization's progress in establishing robust data curation practices, from informal and inconsistent management at the initial stage to continuous improvement and innovation at the optimizing stage. The template also integrates detailed assessment criteria for adherence to the FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—ensuring datasets are not only well-curated but also align with globally recognized standards for data sharing and reuse.

By providing a clear and quantifiable method for assessing data curation practices, the Data Curation Log Template facilitates the systematic enhancement of data management processes, supports compliance with best practices, and promotes the long-term sustainability and utility of scientific data. This tool serves as both a self-assessment mechanism and a guide for continuous improvement, enabling organizations to achieve higher levels of data curation maturity and better align with international data management standards.

The angular two-point correlation of NVSS galaxies revisited

description: We measure the angular two-point correlation and angular power spectrum from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) of radio galaxies. They are found to be consistent with the best-fit cosmological model from the Planck analysis, and with the redshift distribution obtained from the Combined EIS-NVSS Survey Of Radio Sources (CENSORS). Our analysis is based on an optimal estimation of the two-point correlation function and makes use of a new mask, that takes into account direction dependent effects of the observations, sidelobe effects of bright sources and galactic foreground. We also set a flux threshold and take the cosmic radio dipole into account. The latter turns out to be an essential step in the analysis. This improved cosmological analysis of the NVSS emphasizes the importance of a flux calibration that is robust and stable on large angular scales for future radio continuum surveys.

description: Direct detection for sub-GeV dark matter is developing rapidly, with many novel experimental ideas and theoretical methods emerging. In this work, we extend the dielectric formalism for dark matter scattering to incorporate anisotropic material responses, enabling directionally-sensitive experiments with a broad class of target materials. Using a simple model of an anisotropic electron gas, we demonstrate the importance of many-body effects such as the plasmon, and show that even when the dark matter kinetic energies are much smaller than the plasmon energy, the tail of an anisotropic plasmon can still produce a sizeable daily modulation. We highlight the relevant experimental techniques required to establish the target response, as well as the challenges in extracting a response function which is truly free of modeling uncertainties.
