IN PURSUIT OF DECREASING CONSUMER ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT: UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSUMER WELL-BEING WITHIN (UN)SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIOR FRAMEWORK

subject: Consumer behaviour

description: . Consumer behavior in food and fashion is significantly contributing to environmental distress. Psychological distance emerges as a key obstacle preventing consumers from taking action. Environmental issues often appear distant in terms of time, space, social relevance, and uncertainty, making it challenging for consumers to engage with and modify their behaviors accordingly. Conversely, subjective well-being presents itself as a more relatable concept for consumers. Thus, this dissertation, comprising two essays, seeks to explore the significance of subjective well-being within the realm of consumer sustainability in the food and fashion industries. In Study 1, employing structural equation modeling, we initially demonstrate that consumer food waste adversely affects emotional well-being through post-purchase regret (Study 1a). Furthermore, utilizing ordered logit regression, we identify that perceived distance to grocery stores correlates with increased household food waste (Study 1b). In Study 2, through a systematic literature review, we observe a pattern in consumer behavior regarding sustainable and unsustainable clothing consumption and its relationship with emotional subjective well-being (Study 2a). However, due to the limited number of relevant studies and their focus on only one aspect of subjective well-being, further investigation becomes necessary. Consequently, in Study 2b, employing path analysis, we empirically examine the relationship between domains of sustainable clothing consumption behavior and subjective well-being, revealing a positive correlation, particularly in the early stages of the consumption process. To assess whether consumers perceive subjective well-being as closer to them in comparison to environmental concerns when promoting sustainable actions, we conduct an experiment. Our findings, analyzed using t-tests, indicate that the psychological distance of subjective well-being is indeed lower than that of environmental topics (Study 2c). These results underscore the significance of subjective well-being within the context of consumer sustainability and lay the groundwork for alternative communication strategies aimed at promoting sustainable consumer behavior. The implications and limitations of our findings are thoroughly discussed.

description: It is demonstrated that in the (2+1)-dimensional topologically massive gauge theories an agreement of the Pauli-Villars regularization scheme with the other schemes can be achieved by employing pairs of auxiliary fermions with the opposite sign masses. This approach does not introduce additional violation of discrete (P and T) symmetries. Although it breaks the local gauge symmetry only in the regulator fields' sector, its trace disappears completely after removing the regularization as a result of superrenormalizability of the model. It is shown also that analogous extension of the Pauli-Villars regularization in the vector particle sector can be used to agree the arbitrary covariant gauge results with the Landau ones. The source of ambiguities in the covariant gauges is studied in detail. It is demonstrated that in gauges that are softer in the infrared region (e.g. Coulomb or axial) nonphysical ambiguities inherent to the covariant gauges do not arise.

Is a Topology Change After a Big Rip Possible?

description: Motivated by condensed matter physical systems, in which a finite-time singularity indicates that the topology of the system changes, we critically examine the possibility of the Universe's topology change at a finite-time cosmological singularity. We emphasize on Big Rip and Type II and IV cosmological singularities, which we classify to future spacelike and timelike singularities. For the Type IV and Type II singularities, since no geodesics incompleteness occurs, no topological change is allowed, by using Geroch's theorem arguments. However, for the Big Rip case, Tipler's arguments allow a topology change, if the spacetime in which the topology change occurs is non-compact and the boundary of this region are two topologically distinct three dimensional spacelike partial Cauchy hypersurfaces. Also, some additional requirements must hold true, among which the weak energy condition, which can be satisfied in a geometric way in the context of a modified gravity. We critically examine Tipler's arguments for the Big Rip case, and we discuss the mathematical implications of such a topological change, with regard to the final hypersurface on which geodesics incompleteness occurs.
Microlens Parallax Asymmetries Toward the LMC

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: If the microlensing events now being detected toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are due to lenses in the Milky Way halo, then the events should typically have asymmetries of order 1% due to parallax from the reflex motion of the Earth. By contrast, if the lenses are in the LMC, the parallax effects should be negligible. A ground-based search for such parallax asymmetries would therefore clarify the location of the lenses. A modest effort (2 hours per night on a 1 m telescope) could measure 15 parallax asymmetries over 5 years and so marginally discriminate between the halo and the LMC as the source of the lenses. A dedicated 1 m telescope would approximately double the number of measurements and would therefore clearly distinguish between the alternatives. However, compared to satellite parallaxes, the information extracted from ground-based parallaxes is substantially less useful for understanding the nature of the halo lenses (if that is what they are). The backgrounds of asymmetries due to binary-source and binary-lens events are estimated to be approximately 7% and 12% respectively. These complicate the interpretation of detected parallax asymmetries, but not critically.

Dynamic Pressure Pulses in Earth's Dayside Magnetosheath
Creators: name: Archer, Martin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Solar wind mass, energy and momentum can be transferred to Earth's magnetosphere at the magnetopause with the shocked magnetosheath acting as an interface between the two regions. In particular the magnetosheath pressure is important in terms of the position and motion of the magnetopause, which in turn can have effects throughout the dayside magnetosphere. A variety of transient phenomena often occur in the magnetosheath and in this thesis one example is studied, namely pulses in the magnetosheath dynamic pressure, using multipoint spacecraft observations to investigate their origins and magnetospheric impacts and illuminate dayside magnetospheric dynamics. Simultaneous observations in the solar wind, foreshock and magnetosheath reveal an interval of dynamic pressure pulses that did not exist upstream of the bow shock in the pristine solar wind or foreshock and appear consistent with previous simulations of solar wind discontinuities interacting with the bow shock, which predict large amplitude pulses when the local geometry of the shock changes. A statistical study of these structures, however, reveals their predominant origin near the quasi-parallel shock, typically under steady interplanetary magnetic fields, suggestive that the foreshock is important in their generation. The enhanced pressure on the magnetopause due to these pulses can perturb the boundary, exciting ultra-low frequency waves in the magnetosphere and travelling convection vortices in the ionosphere, similar to the response to pressure variations of solar wind origin. However, in this case the response is smoother and on longer timescales than the sharp, impulsive pressure variations and often a collective effect of numerous pulses. Conditions at the magnetopause are often inferred from suitably time lagged measurements of the pristine solar wind taken far upstream of Earth at the L1 Lagrangian point. However, such methods cannot predict the precise locations and times of dynamic pressure pulses in the magnetosheath, which directly drive magnetospheric dynamics.

description: The results of three-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow of matter in non-magnetic semidetached binary systems are presented. Self-consistent solutions indicate the absence of a shock interaction between the stream of matter flowing from the inner Lagrange point and the accretion disk (a "hot spot"). At the same time, the interaction between the stream and the common envelope of the system forms an extended shock wave along the edge of the stream, whose observational properties are roughly equivalent to those of a hot spot in the disk. Comparison of synethesized and observed light curves confirm the adequacy of the proposed model for the flow of matter without formation of a hot spot. The model makes it possible for the first time to reproduce the variety of the observed light curves of cataclysmic variables in the framework of a single model, without invoking additional assumptions.

The quantum-mechanical wave function is the generating function for the $P_n (E)$, which are polynomials in the energy $E$. The condition of quasi-exact solvability is reflected in the vanishing of the norm of all polynomials whose index $n$ exceeds a critical value $J$. The zeros of the critical polynomial $P_J(E)$ are the quasi-exact energy eigenvalues of the system.

description: Securities exchange being digitalised and online, security of information and data has become a major concern. Blockchain (BC) technology, being distributed and immutable in nature, has proved to the "Trust Machine" eliminating the need for third-parties. Authors of this paper investigate how Blockchain can be used to secure stock exchange transactions, with an especial focus to the technological as well as legal aspects of such applications. Considering the intricate operational structure of the securities exchange, the research proposes to design, develop and implement a hybrid BC, customised according to the need of the respective stock exchange. The study suggests that the use of such BC can bring many benefits which the other technologies currently being used cannot offer. However, during the design process of any such application using BC, the relevant laws and regulations of the corresponding country need to be considered.

Solution-Processed Inorganic Semiconductors in Hybrid Photovoltaics: Mechanisms of Charge Separation and Effects of Interface Structure
Creators: name: O'Mahony, Flannan T. F.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Nanocrystalline inorganic semiconductors have emerged as attractive alternatives to molecular dyes as photosensitisers for mesoporous metal oxide-based semiconductor-sensitised solar cells (SSSCs). In this configuration, Sb2S3 has shown particular promise, yielding impressive power conversion efficiencies. At the operational heart of these devices, there are a series of interfacial electron transfer reactions that act to separate photogenerated charges. The delicate balance between charge separation and recombination plays an important part in defining device efficiency, but the mechanism by which charge separation occurs in Sb2S3-based systems has been relatively poorly understood. In the first part of this work, transient absorption spectroscopy is used to probe interfacial electron and hole transfer in mesoporous TiO2/Sb2S3-based photovoltaic assemblies. The reported observations point to the importance of the hole transfer reaction not simply as a means of regenerating the sensitiser, but rather as an integral part of the charge separation process. Inspired by these results, a novel device architecture and processing route is developed in which the structural, optical and electrical properties of the sensitised TiO2 film are encompassed in a single component; namely a mesoporous Sb2S3 photoanode. The resulting high surface area is shown to allow for efficient charge transfer to a polymeric hole acceptor, whilst electron transport through the Sb2S3 layer is demonstrated by the fabrication of functioning photovoltaic devices. In order to consider the role of mesostructure in Sb2S3-based solar cells, devices based on a flat Sb2S3/hole transport material (HTM) interface are developed and compared to SSSC analogues. It is found that although these two classes of device are structurally very different, overall performance is remarkably similar. This highlights the impressive performance of the thin-film assembly, but also draws into question the importance of meso-scale morphological control. Through a combination of transient absorption spectroscopy and transient photovoltage measurements, it is determined that structural limitations to interfacial charge separation can be overcome in these systems by the action of an electric field. Understanding the role of mesostructure is a particularly pertinent challenge in the context of organic lead halide perovskite absorbers, with which very high efficiencies have been achieved in a range of structured and non-structured device architectures. Here, it is shown that the presence of a mesostructured electron acceptor to rapidly quench the perovskite excited state enhances the stability of interfacial charge separation and significantly increases innate tolerance to environmental processing conditions. This work highlights a significant advantage of retaining mesoscale morphological control in the preparation of efficient, low cost and stable hybrid photovoltaics.

description: Recent research has severely constrained the standard ``defect'' models of cosmic structure formation. Here I discuss the nature of the problems with defect models, and place this discussion in the context of the big picture of cosmic structure formation. In particular, I classify models of cosmic structure formation as either ``causal'' or ``acausal'', and ask whether the problems with the defect models extend to all other causal models. I argue that determining the causal nature of the primordial perturbations is within the reach of modern cosmology, and that such a determination would yield deep insights into the very early Universe.

Structural and biophysical characterisation of PERK kinase towards understanding ER stress sensing and activation of the Unfolded Protein Response
Creators: name: Carrara, Marta
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular mechanism that detects the accumulation of misfolded proteins within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In mammalian cells, the UPR is mediated by three ER-transmembrane proteins: PERK, IRE1 and ATF6. Early studies in the field provided evidence for the role of BiP, the major ER Hsp70 chaperone, in UPR activation by binding to the luminal domains of PERK, IRE1 and ATF6 and maintaining them in an inactive state. However the underlying mechanism of ER stress sensing and UPR activation is not yet understood. This thesis presents (i) the novel X-ray crystal structure of PERK luminal domain and (ii) a biochemical study of the unconventional interaction between BiP chaperone and the luminal domains of PERK and IRE1 in vitro. Firstly, the structure of PERK luminal domain was solved in two oligomeric states: dimers and tetramers. Compelling evidence is provided for a role of tetramer formation in directing downstream UPR signalling. Secondly, the unprecedented and unconventional direct binding of PERK and IRE1 luminal domains to BiP is demonstrated. The binding surface was mapped to the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of BiP. As such, this points away from a substrate-chaperone interaction and rather implies BiP as an explicit UPR signalling component. Upon binding to CH1 unfolded protein, BiP is released from PERK and IRE1 luminal domains. BiP dissociation from PERK and IRE1 is known to lead to their activation. Based on the work presented in this thesis a novel mechanism of ER stress sensing and UPR activation by PERK and IRE1 is proposed. BiP NBD normally interacts with the luminal domains of PERK and IRE1 and represses UPR signalling. During ER stress, binding of unfolded proteins to BiP’s substrate binding domain leads to the dissociation of BiP-luminal domain complexes. As such, the luminal domains are free to intertwine, mediated by an extended α-helix, and form active tetramers competent for cytoplasmic UPR signalling.

description: We investigate the magnetotransport properties of a two-dimensional electron gas with anisotropic k-cubic Rashba interaction at the $\rm{LaAlO_3}$/$\rm{SrTiO_3}$ interface. The Landau levels and density of states of the system as well as the magnetotransport coefficients are evaluated. A somehow anomalous beating pattern in low magnetic field regime is found both in the density profile and magnetoresistivity. We discuss the impact of electron density, Landau level broadening and Rashba spin-orbit constant on the appearance of the beatings in low magnetic fields and find that at low electron concentrations and not very strong spin-orbit interactions the beatings smooth out. On the other hand, as the magnetic field increases, the Zeeman term becomes the dominant splitting mechanism leading to the spin-split peaks in SdH oscillations. We also show that the observation of the beatings in low magnetic fields needs a system with rather higher carrier concentration so that the beatings persist up to sufficiently large fields where the oscillations are not smoothed out by Landau level broadening. The quantum Hall plateaus are evaluated and we show the Chern number with both even and odd values is replaced by the odd numbers when two subband energies are close with spin degenerate energy levels. Along with the numerical evaluation of the magnetotransport properties, a perturbative calculation is also performed which can be used in the case of low densities and not very large filling factors.

We find that BCGs and ICL form, grow and overall evolve at different times and with different timescales, but they show a clear co-evolution after redshift $z \sim 0.7-0.8$. Around 90\% of the ICL from stellar stripping is built-up in the innermost 150 Kpc from the halo centre and the dominant contribution comes from disk-like galaxies (B/T$

Frequency domain analysis and simulation of multi-channel complex-valued time series
Creators: name: Chandna, Swati
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Complex-valued representation of a two-component real-valued time series yields additional physical insights that are lost otherwise. The spectral representation theorem allows us to study covariance stationary complex-valued random sequences in the frequency domain, and this is known as rotary spectral analysis. It is a widely-used technique for studying elliptical motions in ocean currents, wind etc. An important and useful parameter in rotary spectral analysis of scalar complex-valued time series is the rotary coefficient. It measures the tendency of vectors to rotate in a clockwise or counter-clockwise manner. We derive the theoretical distribution of the rotary coefficient estimator and apply our results to ocean current speed and direction measurements at six depths in the Labrador Sea. Canonical correlation techniques are commonly employed in the analysis of a pair of vector-valued random variables. We introduce a framework to extend classical multivariate analysis techniques such as canonical correlation analysis, partial least squares, and multivariate linear regression, to define coherence – a measure of correlation in the frequency domain. In the statistical analysis of complex-valued time series, we refer to a time series as proper/improper according to whether it is uncorrelated/correlated with its complex conjugate. In earlier work, complex-valued signals were assumed to be proper for the simple reason that it led to a simpler algebra. However, the loss in performance caused by overlooking the potential impropriety of such data is realized to be significant, and therefore, when the data is improper, information contained in the complementary covariance structure must be considered. Since impropriety in the time domain may not necessarily correspond to impropriety at all frequencies, we propose a generalized likelihood ratio test which may be used to test propriety of a discrete time complex-valued process at a given frequency. Finally, the idea of vector circulant embedding is exploited to yield a frequency domain bootstrap methodology. With the help of three example parameters involved in the study of multi-channel complex-valued time series, we illustrate how our method allows us to draw statistical inference such as confidence intervals. Our method can prove useful in cases where no theoretical distributional results are available, or to check the effect of nuisance parameter estimates where theoretical results are available.

description: We consider the transverse-momentum ($q_T$) distribution of $Z$ bosons produced in hadronic collisions. At small values of $q_T$, we perform the analytic resummation of the logarithmically enhanced QED contributions up to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, including the mixed QCD-QED contributions at leading logarithmic accuracy. Resummed results are consistently matched with the next-to-leading fixed-order results (i.e. $\mathcal{O}(α^2)$) at small, intermediate and large values of $q_T$. We combine the QED corrections with the known QCD results at next-to-next-to-leading order ($\mathcal{O}(α_S^2)$) and next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We show numerical results at LHC and Tevatron energies, studying the impact of the QED corrections and providing an estimate of the corresponding perturbative uncertainty. Our analytic results for the combined QED and QCD resummation, obtained through an extension of the $q_T$ resummation formalism in QCD, are valid for the production of generic neutral and colourless high-mass systems in hadronic collision.

description: Topological insulators with unique gapless edge states have revolutionized the understanding of electronic properties in solid materials. These gapless edge states are dictated by the topological invariants associated with the quantization of generalized Berry phases of the bulk energy bands through the bulk-edge correspondence, a paradigm that can also be extended to acoustic and photonic systems. Recently, high-order topological insulators (HOTIs) are proposed and observed, where the bulk topological invariants result in gapped edge states and in-gap corner or hinge states, going beyond the conventional bulk-edge correspondence. However, the existing studies on HOTIs are restricted to tight-binding models which cannot describe the energy bands of conventional sonic/photonic crystals that are due to multiple Bragg scatterings. Here, we report theoretical prediction and experimental observation of acoustic second-order topological insulators (SOTI) in two-dimensional (2D) sonic crystals (SCs) beyond the tight-binding picture. We observe gapped edge states and degenerate in-gap corner states which manifest bulk-edge correspondence in a hierarchy of dimensions. Moreover, topological transitions in both the bulk and edge states can be realized by tuning the angle of the meta-atoms in each unit-cell, leading to various conversion among bulk, edge and corner states. The emergent properties of the acoustic SOTIs open up a new route for topological designs of robust localized acoustic modes as well as topological transfer of acoustic energy between 2D, 1D and 0D modes.

description: A novel scheme for measuring the cross section of the 7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction, the major source of high energy neutrinos from t he sun, is presented. The scheme involves a strictly uniform particle beam and overcomes some of the recognized experimental uncertainties of previous measurements. A new measurement of sigma[7Li(d,p)8Li] has been carried out using this setup,and the present value of sigma[7Li(d,p)8Li] = 155(8) mbarn at the top of the E_d(lab.)= 776 keV resonance is compared to previous measurements. A new issue regarding both the (d,p) and (p,gamma) reactions has been examined: reaction-product nuclei which are backscattered out of the target. Measurements and simulations carried out in the course of this investigation are presented and discussed in the context of possible effects on the measured cross sections of these reactions.

Chemokines and macrophage migration inhibitory factor in diabetic nephropathy.
Creators: name: Montero, Rosa Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the Western world. Aim: To determine whether macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) or CC chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) have a causative role in the development of renal inflammation and fibrosis in DN and are useful biomarkers of disease progression. Methods: Urine and plasma samples were collected from 115 DM and 116 Non-DM at baseline, previously analysed for MCP-1 and CCL18 ELISA by Dr Qureshi. I measured MIF in these samples and collected 107 DM and 114 Non-DM data points (GFR, ACR/UPCR and clinical parameters) at >18 months and >3 years. MIF, MCP-1 and CCL18 urine, plasma and serum analysis was performed in 42 DM and 60 Non-DM at >3 years follow up. Intrinsic renal cells were cultured and stimulated with diabetic conditions. These cytokines and fibronectin were measured in tubuloepithelial cells and podocytes. Results: Baseline plasma CCL18 and MIF predicted a decline in GFR in DM at >18 months but not at >3 years. Cytokine production varies over time with significant correlations at baseline that are not maintained. Cytokines correlate differently with GFR, ACR/UPCR in DM versus Non-DM proteinuric renal diseases. Plasma and serum cytokine levels correlated significantly with no correlation between these and urinary levels. All intrinsic renal cells were able to produce MIF, MCP-1 and CCL18 following stimulation. The interaction of these cytokines and their effects on fibronectin vary in diabetic conditions and following recombinant cytokine stimulation. The diabetic environment appears to orchestrate cytokine signals according to cell type. Conclusion: These results suggest cytokines may play a key role in the pathogenesis and or progression of DN. The clinical study suggests cytokines may predict progression; however, larger studies are needed with samples taken at different time points.
Oral history interview with Matthew Jones, 2002

Civil rights workers--History--20th century.--United States

description: Matthew Jones begins this interview with a discussion of his upbringing in Littleton, North Carolina, describing his family's social position as well-educated African Americans. Jones recalls his father's confrontation with the Ku Klux Klan, who targeted him because he was a Black school principal. Jones describes the segregation within the Episcopal Church and his father's experience as a Black minister. Jones speaks about his participation in the Nashville Student Movement during his senior year at Tennessee State University in 1960. He describes the experience of his first arrest and his empowerment through direct action. Jones describes the inception of the Danville Freedom Voices, and the re-formation of the Freedom Singers in Atlanta, Georgia. He also discusses the gender dynamics of SNCC and Ruby Doris Smith; Freedom Singer fundraising tours; and the murder of Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman. In the last quarter of this interview, Jones provides general reflections on the personal and political aftermath of the civil rights movement, including the burnout of Civil Rights veterans; the strategies of Stokely Carmichael, who became SNCC Chairman in 1967; the alienation and abandonment of Southern Black leadership by Northern activists; books written about the civil rights movement; and the transition to Pan-Africanism

description: Landau levels have represented a very rich field of research, which has gained widespread attention after their application to quantum Hall effect. In a particular gauge, the holomorphic gauge, they give a physical implementation of Bargmann's Hilbert space of entire functions. They have also been recognized as a natural bridge between Feynman's path integral and Geometric Quantization. We discuss here some mathematical subtleties involved in the formulation of the problem when one tries to study quantum mechanics on a finite strip of sides L_1, L_2 with a uniform magnetic field and periodic boundary conditions. There is an apparent paradox here: infinitesimal translations should be associated to canonical operators [p_x,p_y] \propto i\hslash B, and, at the same time, live in a Landau level of finite dimension B L_1L_2/(hc/e), which is impossible from Wintner's theorem. The paper shows the way out of this conundrum.

description: Intense volatility in financial markets affect humans worldwide. Therefore, relatively accurate prediction of volatility is critical. We suggest that massive data sources resulting from human interaction with the Internet may offer a new perspective on the behavior of market participants in periods of large market movements. First we select 28 key words, which are related to finance as indicators of the public mood and macroeconomic factors. Then those 28 words of the daily search volume based on Baidu index are collected manually, from June 1, 2006 to October 29, 2017. We apply a Long Short-Term Memory neural network to forecast CSI300 volatility using those search volume data. Compared to the benchmark GARCH model, our forecast is more accurate, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the LSTM neural network in volatility forecasting.
