title: Knowledge Creation Processes in Foundation Degree Partnership Working
Creators: name: Reid, Anne-Marie
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis seeks to develop an understanding of knowledge creation processes in partnership working, conditions which foster these, and their impact on longer-term sustainability. The partnership, between a university in Greater Manchester and the Strategic Health Authority, was established in 2002 to train a new role of healthcare worker through the delivery a foundation degree in health and social care. At that time foundation degrees were new, and the 'Assistant Practitioner' role was being introduced to bridge the gap between staff at registered professional level and those at support worker level. The role is intended as generic and patient-centred in crossing traditional professional boundaries, and so presents challenges in creating, sharing and embedding knowledge, which accords well with the concept of knowledge management. The study explores Nonaka and Takeuchi's (1995) model of Knowledge Management, and Engestrom's (1997,2001) Activity Theory, in relation to how these constructs may provide insight into the knowledge processes in partnership working. 'Partnership' is a contested concept which is debated in the context of the policy drivers underpinning the development. The enquiry has employed a case study approach within an interpretive paradigm with data gathered through semi-structured interviews and a focus group. Thematic analysis of the interview data identifies and explores themes in knowledge creation and partnership working which raise questions of power dynamics. These questions are not fully addressed by the knowledge creation models, and so the relationship between power, knowledge and discourse is further considered through a Foucauldian discourse analysis approach to the focus group. The conclusions support the value of the knowledge creation models for developing insights into how partnership working supports innovation and may sustain it. The discourse analysis reveals the pervasiveness of power relationships, reflects on their impact on knowledge creation, and considers the consequences for longer-term sustainability of the partnership.

description: Stata includes a powerful set of tools for constructing a wide array of graphs. Stata’s graphing capabilities are well suited for describing exploratory or preliminary data analyses as well as producing publication-quality graphics. Currently, however, Stata does not have a built-in suite of commands for constructing various types of files (for example, HTML, TEX, or RTF files) to display multiple graphs. Such files can be invaluable for organizing and facilitating the interpretation of the numerous graphs needed throughout an analysis or in the final stage of a project. In this article, we provide an overview of two commands, graphsto and graphout, designed to organize and process multiple graphs across various file types.
Temporal Evolution of the Inverse Evershed Flow

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The inverse Evershed flow (IEF) is an inflow of material into the penumbra of sunspots in the solar chromosphere that occurs along dark, elongated superpenumbral fibrils extending from about the outer edge of the moat cell to the sunspot. The IEF channels exhibit brightenings in the penumbra, where the supersonic IEF descends to the photosphere causing shock fronts with localized heating. We used an 1-hr time-series of spectroscopic observations of the chromospheric spectral lines of CaIIIR at 854nm and H$α$ at 656nm taken with IBIS at the DST to investigate the temporal evolution of IEF channels. Complementary information on the photospheric magnetic field was obtained from observations with FIRS at 1083\nm and HMI. We find that individual IEF channels are long-lived (10-60min) and only show minor changes in position and flow speed during their life time. Initiation and termination of IEF channels takes several minutes. The IEF channels with line-of-sight velocities of about 10km/s show no lasting impact from transient or oscillatory phenomena with maximal velocity amplitudes of only about 1km/s that run along them. We could not detect any clear correlation of the location and evolution of IEF channels to local magnetic field properties in the photosphere in the penumbra or moving magnetic features in the sunspot moat. Our results support a picture of the IEF as a field-aligned siphon flow along arched loops. From our data we cannot determine if their evolution is controlled by events at the outer end in the moat or at the inner end in the penumbra.

description: That there was nothing like a warrior class in the Indian sub-continent was but natural. The aborigines here were just moving from hunter-gatherer stage to a herder-farmer stage; a good lot of them, living in the hills and the forests, were still to take to herding-farming. We do not yet have a name for them. We said they could be vēdar. We know that there was some sort of organization among these people at the local level, as most of the tribal communities tend to have. As they took to farming, that organization could have become more elaborate. Eventually it might have evolved into a ‘gāṁvkārī’ sort of an organization. Over time it must have developed a sort of a pyramid, with local level organizations nesting under a bigger organization, and so on. These organizations or their chiefs did have persons dedicated to security and eventually to thwart the aggressions of competing organizations. But formal armies did not seem to have been formed; at least, warrior as an occupation does not seem to have begun. As seen above, the heads of the agrarian organizations rose to be the chiefs of principalities, ‘little kings’, bigger kings and eventually empire builders. Only at these later stages formal armies might have been formed, which called for ‘professional’ warriors. As in Mysore for instance, we see the emergence of a position of ‘dalavayi’ or ‘dalvoy’, a supreme commander of the royal army; but these too rose from the ranks of the chiefs of agrarian bodies. (According to Bloch, the modern surname Dalvi seems to have been derived from dalvoy.) Sometimes these dalvoy overthrew their kings and seized their kingdoms and eventually became kings themselves. Therefore kṣatrīya as a warrior class seems to be an idea alien to the Indian context, purely theoretical or brought in from outside; more likely, it seems to be an idea created by the brāmhaṇ to avail of the services of the kṣatrīya as protectors; we have dealt with this synergistic relation between the brāmhaṇ and the kṣatrīya earlier.

description: We calculate the continuum value of the deconfining temperature in units of the string tension for SU(4), SU(6) and SU(8) gauge theories, and we recalculate its value for SU(2) and SU(3). We find that the $N$-dependence for $2 \leq N \leq 8$ is well fitted by $T_c/\sqrt{sigma} = 0.596(4) + 0.453(30)/N^2$, showing a rapid convergence to the large-N limit. We confirm our earlier result that the phase transition is first order for $N \geq 3$ and that it becomes stronger with increasing $N$. We also confirm that as $N$ increases the finite volume corrections become rapidly smaller and the phase transition becomes visible on ever smaller volumes. We interpret the latter as being due to the fact that the tension of the domain wall that separates the confining and deconfining phases increases rapidly with $N$. We speculate on the connection to Eguchi-Kawai reduction and to the idea of a Master Field.

description: RNA polymerase I (Pol I) synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in all eukaryotes, accounting for the major part of transcriptional activity in proliferating cells. Although basal Pol I transcription factors have been characterized in diverse organisms, the molecular basis of the robust rRNA production in vivo remains largely unknown. In S. cerevisiae, the multifunctional Net1 protein was reported to stimulate Pol I transcription. We found that the Pol I-stimulating function can be attributed to the very C-terminal region (CTR) of Net1. The CTR was required for normal cell growth and Pol I recruitment to rRNA genes in vivo and sufficient to promote Pol I transcription in vitro. Similarity with the acidic tail region of mammalian Pol I transcription factor UBF, which could partly functionally substitute for the CTR, suggests conserved roles for CTR-like domains in Pol I transcription from yeast to human.

description: We discuss a new mechanism of orbital ordering, which in charge transfer insulators is more important than the usual exchange interactions and which can make the very type of the ground state of a charge transfer insulator, i.e. its orbital and magnetic ordering, different from that of a Mott-Hubbard insulator. This purely electronic mechanism allows us to explain why orbitals in Jahn-Teller materials typically order at higher temperatures than spins, and to understand the type of orbital ordering in a number of materials, e.g. K_2CuF_4, without invoking the electron-lattice interaction.

description: There are two kinds of new physics effects on non-resonant di-Higgs process from gluon fusion, non-SM Higgs trilinear self-coupling $λ_{hhh}$ or new colored particles running in the loop. With the aim of disentangling different new physics contributions, we study their characteristics in the kinematic distributions. Assuming that the total cross section is observed to be about three times as large as the SM expectation, we consider the cases of $λ_{hhh}/λ_{hhh}^{\rm SM} =-0.5, 5.5$ as well as a new physics model with heavy vectorlike quarks in a type-II two Higgs double model, called the VLQ-2HDM. A reasonable benchmark point is suggested in the exact wrong-sign limit, where the opposite sign between the up-type VLQ and down-type VLQ couplings to the Higgs boson causes the cancellation of their contributions to the single-Higgs production from gluon fusion. Because of the threshold effects from the heavy VLQs in the loop, the VLQ-2HDM accommodates the bumps in the distributions of the invariant mass of the Higgs boson pair ($M_{hh}$) and the transverse momentum of a Higgs boson ($p_T^h$). The positions of two bumps are closely related as $ M_{hh} \simeq 2 M_{\rm VLQ}$ and $p_T^h \simeq M_{\rm VLQ}$. In addition, the bumps located at the heavy VLQ mass naturally lift up the $M_{hh}$ and $p_T^h$ distributions into high-mass and high-$p_T^h$ regions. On the other hand, the non-SM Higgs trilinear coupling cases have the distributions shift into low $ M_{hh}$ and $p_T^h$ regions. Therefore, the kinematic region with high $M_{hh}$ and high $p_T^h$ will be a smoking-gun signal for the VLQ-2HDM. Full HL-LHC simulations for the di-Higgs signals are also performed, confirming that the $b \bar{b} b \bar{b}$ final state can distinguish the VLQ-2HDM.

description: A growing corpus of literature has explored the influence of religion on economic attitudes and behavior. The present paper investigates the effect of religion on labor market performance using a novel approach to control for the endogeneity of religion. It proposes contingency experience, individual experiences of existential insecurity, as an instrumental variable of a person’s religiosity. The empirical analysis uses data from a household survey in South Africa specifically designed for this study. The econometric approach is the estimation of instrumental variable ordered probit and linear probability models. Using the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS), the analysis differentiates between effects of individual religious intensity and of religious affiliation. The findings show that individual religiosity, measured in the CRS, has a robust and positive effect on labor market performance. Religious affiliation does not seem to affect labor market performance. The positive effect on religiosity is documented in a set of ordered and binary outcome models across different indicators of labor market performance. The study concludes that the intensity of belief exerts an influence on labor market attitudes and outcomes, while affiliation in religious communities (indicating different content of belief) does not seem to make a difference.
Moment instabilities in multidimensional systems with noise

description: We present a systematic study of moment evolution in multidimensional stochastic difference systems, focusing on characterizing systems whose low-order moments diverge in the neighborhood of a stable fixed point. We consider systems with a simple, dominant eigenvalue and stationary, white noise. When the noise is small, we obtain general expressions for the approximate asymptotic distribution and moment Lyapunov exponents. In the case of larger noise, the second moment is calculated using a different approach, which gives an exact result for some types of noise. We analyze the dependence of the moments on the system's dimension, relevant system properties, the form of the noise, and the magnitude of the noise. We determine a critical value for noise strength, as a function of the unperturbed system's convergence rate, above which the second moment diverges and large fluctuations are likely. Analytical results are validated by numerical simulations. We show that our results cannot be extended to the continuous time limit except in certain special cases.

description: To keep up with constantly growing user demands for services with higher quality and bandwidth requirements, telecommunication operators are forced to upgrade their networks. This upgrade, or migration of the network to a new technology, is a complex strategic network planning problem that involves techno-economic evaluations over multiple periods of time. The state-of-the-art approaches consider migrations to a concrete architecture and do not take uncertainties, such as user churn, into account. This results in migration cost underestimations and profitability over-estimations. In this paper, we propose a generic migration algorithm derived from a search based rational agent decision process that can deal with uncertainties and provides the migration path using a maximized utility function. The algorithm maximizes the migration project profitability, measured as accumulated Net Present Value (NPV). This flexible and generic methodology has been evaluated on the example of migration from existing copper networks to the future-proof Passive Optical Network (PON) architectures. Our proposed flexible migration algorithm is validated over pure residential and converged scenarios in a fully reproducible case study. The results yield that the migration flexibility is a key to the profit maximization.
title: Linear and nonlinear optical properties of silica aerogel
Creators: name: Fleming, Adam Colin
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: Scattering media have traditionally been seen as a hindrance to the controlled transport of light through media, creating the familiar speckle pattern. However such matter does not cause the loss of information but instead performs a highly complex deterministic operation on the incoming ﬂux. Through sculpting the properties of the incoming wavefront, we can unlock the hidden characteristics of these media, affording us far more degrees of freedom than that which is available to us in traditional ballistic optics. These additional degrees of freedom have allowed for the creation of compact sophisticated optical devices based only on the deterministic nature of light scattering. Such devices include diffraction-limit-beating lenses, polarimeters, spectrometers, and some which can transmit entire images through a scattering substance. Additional degrees of freedom would allow for the creation of even more powerful devices, in new working regimes. In particular, the application of related techniques where the scattering material is actively modiﬁed is limited. This thesis is concerned with the use of optothermal nonlinearity in random media as a way to provide an additional degree of control over light which scatters through it. Speciﬁcally, we are concerned with silica aerogel as a platform for this study. Silica aerogel is a lightweight skeletal structure of silica ﬁbrils, which results in a material which is up to 99.98 % by volume. This material exhibits a unique cocktail of properties of use such as near unitary refractive index, an order of magnitude lower thermal conductivity, and high optothermal nonlinearity. The latter two of these properties allow for the creation of localised steep thermal gradients, proportionally affecting the low refractive index signiﬁcantly. Additionally through differing fabrication steps, the opacity, and as a result, we can adjust the scattering strength. In line with the development of light deterministic light scattering techniques in linear media, we develop through the use of pump-probe setups, a framework for the development of a similar line of techniques in nonlinear scattering media. We show that we can reversibly control the far-ﬁeld propagation of light in weakly scattering silica aerogel. Following this, we show that nonlinear perturbation can be used to extend and modify the optical memory effect, where slight adjustments in scattering direction maintain the overall correlation of the scattered proﬁle. Finally, we measure the nonlinear transmission matrix, a complete description of how any wavefront would pass through at a particular point in a scattering media, and how that scattering can be modiﬁed through the application of an optothermal nonlinearity. Extending the tool of scattering media into the nonlinear regime helps pave the way toward the next set of advances in the ﬁeld of light scattering control.

A nested sequence of projectors and corresponding braid matrices $\hat R(θ)$: (1) Odd dimensions
Creators: name: Chakrabarti, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Algebra (math.QA)

description: A basis of $N^2$ projectors, each an ${N^2}\times{N^2}$ matrix with constant elements, is implemented to construct a class of braid matrices $\hat{R}(θ)$, $θ$ being the spectral parameter. Only odd values of $N$ are considered here. Our ansatz for the projectors $P_α$ appearing in the spectral decomposition of $\hat{R}(θ)$ leads to exponentials $exp(m_αθ)$ as the coefficient of $P_α$. The sums and differences of such exponentials on the diagonal and the antidiagonal respectively provide the $(2N^2 -1)$ nonzero elements of $\hat{R}(θ)$. One element at the center is normalized to unity. A class of supplementary constraints imposed by the braid equation leaves ${1/2}(N+3)(N-1)$ free parameters $m_α$. The diagonalizer of $\hat{R}(θ)$ is presented for all $N$. Transfer matrices $t(θ)$ and $L(θ)$ operators corresponding to our $\hat{R}(θ)$ are studied. Our diagonalizer signals specific combinations of the components of the operators that lead to a quadratic algebra of $N^2$ constant $N\times N$ matrices. The $θ$-dependence factors out for such combinations. $\hat R(θ)$ is developed in a power series in $θ$. The basic difference arising for even dimensions is made explicit. Some special features of our $\hat{R}(θ)$ are discussed in a concluding section.

In this paper we introduce an alternative tool for using prior information. This new toold enables us to improve some traditional results in statistical inference. However, as far as the authors know, there is no work on this subject, except [1]. The results of this paper can be extended to other branches of probability and statistics. In Section 2 total probability formula based on median is defined and its basic properties are proved. A few applications of this new tool are given in Section 3.

description: Enzymatic glycosylation is a perspective method for biosynthesis and modification of biologically active flavonoids, which can influence the metabolic processes in the human body with different strength. Controllable enzymatic glycosylation of flavonoids from different groups was performed based on the specific action of glycosyltransferases produced by the Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain, such as dextransucrase LM28, high molecular weight glucansucrase URE13-300 and fructosyltransferase L17. The flavonoids used in the process of glycosylation are rutin, quercetin and anthocyanins.

description: Do boys and girls learn differently? The perception of Modern Foreign Language learning appears to show that there is an increasing gap between the attainment of boys and girls. In this research I have chosen to focus on the secondary school context and particularly on two main questions: Do boys and girls display different aptitudes when learning a Modern Foreign Language? Does a difference in teaching style affect learning in a secondary school context, either when comparing boys and girls, or when comparing the learning of German or French in similar contexts? The first phase of my research involved conducting aptitude tests, initially using the MLAT-E, as developed by Carroll and Sapon. This test, conducted in English, was originally intended to demonstrate whether learners have an aptitude for learning a Foreign Language, by focussing on phonetic coding, grammar handling, rote memorization, inductive language learning ability. A test written and performed in English may provide some insights into students' aptitude for learning a foreign language, but in order to investigate differences in learning either French or German, I developed further tests, using the same principles, but which were conducted in French and German. In both of these tests there appears to be no significant difference between the performance of boys and girls in the specific context, and no significant difference between the two languages. It is often assumed that boys learn by breaking tasks down into clear cut rules, and girls learn by following examples. Using a range of inductive and deductive teaching strategies, students were taught how to use the simple future tense in French and German. Students were observed during the teaching phase, both during whole class activities, and in group work situations, and were interviewed after completing their final assessments, to ascertain how they managed the tasks. When comparing students' understanding and application of the simple future tense, I could again, observe no significant difference between boys and girls, or between the learning of German and French. This research has been conducted among a range of mixed ability classes in KS3 (age 11-14) in a comprehensive school. This action research is significant for teachers of Modern Foreign Languages in the secondary school, as we move forwards from the new KS2 MFL curriculum component. The questions remain, however, as to why there is still such a disparity in the results of boys and girls at GCSE and how teachers can encourage boys in their pursuit of language learning.

description: In the paper we consider higher-order partial differential equations from the class of linear dispersive equations. We investigate solutions to these equations subject to random initial conditions given by harmonizable $φ$-sub-Gaussian processes. The main results are the bounds for the distributions of the suprema for solutions. We present the examples of processes for which the assumptions of the general result are verified and bounds are written in the explicit form. The main result is also specified for the case of Gaussian initial condition.

description: We present an analysis of high resolution HST Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations of Kr I 1236 Angstrom absorption in seven sight lines that probe a variety of interstellar environments. In combination with krypton and hydrogen column densities derived from current and archival STIS and Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer data, the number of sight lines with reliable Kr/H ISM abundance ratios has been increased by 50% to 26--including paths that sample a range of nearly 5 orders of magnitude in f(H_2), over 2 orders of magnitude in , and extending up to 4.8 kpc in length. For sight lines contained entirely within the local spiral arm (the Orion Spur), the spread of Kr/H ratios about the mean of log_10[N(Kr)/N(H)]_ISM = -9.02+/-0.02 is remarkably tight (0.06 dex), less than the typical datapoint uncertainty. Intriguingly, the only two sight lines that extend through neighboring structures, in particular gas associated with the Carina/Sagittarius Arm, exhibit relatively large, near-solar krypton abundances (log_10[N(Kr)/N(H)]_combined = -8.75+0.09_-0.11). Although these deviations are only measured at the 2 sigma level, they suggest the possibility that krypton abundances beyond the Orion Spur may differ from the local value.

Rate Coefficient for H^+ + H_2(X ^1Sigma_g^+, nu=0, J=0) --> H(1s) + H_2^+ Charge Transfer and Some Cosmological Implications

description: Krstic has carried out the first quantum mechanical calculations near threshold for the charge transfer (CT) process H^+ + H_2(X ^1Sigma_g^+, nu=0, J=0) --> H(1s) + H_2^+. These results are relevant for models of primordial galaxy and first star formation that require reliable atomic and molecular data for obtaining the early universe hydrogen chemistry. Using the results of Krstic, we calculate the relevant CT rate coefficient for temperatures between 100 and 30,000 K. We also present a simple fit which can be readily implemented into early universe chemical models. Additionally, we explore how the range of previously published data for this reaction translates into uncertainties in the predicted gas temperature and H_2 relative abundance in a collapsing primordial gas cloud. Our new data significantly reduce these cosmological uncertainties that are due to the uncertainties in the previously published CT rate coefficients.

description: Commercial Cloud computing is becoming mainstream, with funding agencies moving beyond prototyping and starting to fund production campaigns, too. An important aspect of any scientific computing production campaign is data movement, both incoming and outgoing. And while the performance and cost of VMs is relatively well understood, the network performance and cost is not. This paper provides a characterization of networking in various regions of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, both between Cloud resources and major DTNs in the Pacific Research Platform, including OSG data federation caches in the network backbone, and inside the clouds themselves. The paper contains both a qualitative analysis of the results as well as latency and throughput measurements. It also includes an analysis of the costs involved with Cloud-based networking.

title: Organisational Fit and Misfit: An Empirical Study of Similartities and Differences
Creators: name: Talbot, Danielle Laurette
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis focuses on employees' experiences of fit and misfit at work. This falls within the person-environment fit (PE fit) literature which is based on principles founded in interactional psychology that when a person fits the environment that they are in, positive outcomes, such as job satisfaction, will result. Despite a wealth of empirical studies in the PE fit field studying various aspects of individuals' fit with their work environment, there are significant gaps in knowledge and understanding. One of these is that little research has investigated how employees experience fit and misfit. A second gap is that little is known about misfit and whether this is the opposite to fit, an absence of fit or a separate categorical state. The research focused on these gaps in the literature and took a qualitative, exploratory approach to gain in-depth understanding of the factors affecting individuals' fit in organisations. Causal mapping techniques were used to allow the study's participants to express their perceptions without being prompted to speak a bout specific topics. The resulting data were coded using measures from the PE fit literature to explore whether the extant measures adequately captured people's experiences and also to assess whether there were differences between fit and misfit. The research found that the extant PE fit measures explained participants' experiences of fit and misfit well but that as these are focused on factors within the organisational environment, they miss external factors such as people's links with their communities. It seems that the majority of individuals experience misfit to some extent but that overwhelming misfit perceptions can be triggered by a change in the organisation. Misfit and fit are shown to differ, most profoundly in that whereas fit is a positive experience, misfit is negative and a state to be avoided.

description: In this study, we investigated visual short-term memory for coherent motion in action video game players (AVGPs), non-action video game players (NAVGPs), and non-gamers (control group: CONs). Participants performed a visual memory-masking paradigm previously used with macaque monkeys and humans. In particular, we tested whether video game players form a more robust visual short-term memory trace for coherent moving stimuli during the encoding phase, and whether such memory traces are less affected by an intervening masking stimulus presented 0.2 s after the offset of the to-be-remembered sample. The results showed that task performance of all groups was affected by the masking stimulus, but video game players were affected to a lesser extent than controls. Modelling of performance values and reaction times revealed that video game players have a lower guessing rate than CONs, and higher drift rates than CONs, indicative of more efficient perceptual decisions. These results suggest that video game players exhibit a more robust VSTM trace for moving objects and this trace is less prone to external interference.
