description: In this paper, we present two variants of the Additive Schwarz Method for a Crouzeix-Raviart finite volume element (CRFVE) discretization of second order elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients where the discontinuities are only across subdomain boundaries. One preconditioner is symmetric while the other is nonsymmetric. The proposed methods are almost optimal, in the sense that the residual error estimates for the GMRES iteration in the both cases depend only polylogarithmically on the mesh parameters.

Pulsar Glitches: The Crust may be Enough

description: Pulsar glitches-the sudden spin-up in the rotational frequency of a neutron star-suggest the existence of an angular-momentum reservoir confined to the inner crust of the neutron star. Large and regular glitches observed in the Vela pulsar have originally constrained the fraction of the stellar moment of inertia that must reside in the solid crust to about 1.4%. However, crustal entrainment-which until very recently has been ignored-suggests that in order to account for the Vela glitches, the fraction of the moment of inertia residing in the crust must increase to about 7%. This indicates that the required angular momentum reservoir may exceed that which is available in the crust. We explore the possibility that uncertainties in the equation of state provide enough flexibility for the construction of models that predict a large crustal thickness and consequently a large crustal moment of inertia. Given that analytic results suggest that the crustal moment of inertia is sensitive to the transition pressure at the crust-core interface, we tune the parameters of the model to maximize the transition pressure, while still providing an excellent description of nuclear observables. In this manner we are able to obtain fractional moments of inertia as large as 7% for neutron stars with masses below 1.6 solar masses. In particular, we find that if the neutron-skin thickness of 208Pb falls within the (0.20-0.26) fm range, large enough transition pressures can be generated to explain the large Vela glitches without invoking an additional angular-momentum reservoir beyond that confined to the solid crust. Our results suggest that the crust may be enough.

Passive control of the lateral critical speeds of a rotating shaft using eccentric sleeves

Publisher: name: University of Lincoln
Year: 2023
Subjects: H100 - General engineering

description: Classical techniques for mitigating vibration in rotating structures are divided into three main categories viz. careful design and manufacture, correct installation and effective control strategies. The balancing sleeves analysed in this thesis were developed as a ‘semi active’ method of vibration control to improve the state of balance of dynamically unstable coupling shafts. However, the addition of the balancing sleeves affects the natural dynamics of the shaft, and requires a detailed understanding of their characteristics and the impact on the overall shaft dynamics in order to be useful in practice. As a first approximation, the sleeves are initially modelled as part of a full coupling shaft using the Extended Hamilton’s Principle. The simulation studies show that the flexibility of the sleeves have little impact upon the dynamics of the system and can therefore be neglected. However, when compared to results from the use of computational finite element methods with different sleeve lengths, discrepancies are identified. Experimental validation using a purpose built high speed test facility is used to show that the difference is due to the lack of appropriate modelling of sleeve flexibility characteristics. A full system model using finite element methods is therefore devised. More widely, a study of the impact of sleeve lengths shows that the classical definition of a ‘shaft mode’ does not encompass sufficient fidelity to discriminate between modes that are initially considered as being shaft dominated and those that are considered as sleeve dominated mode shapes, and the sharp transition that occurs between the two. It is notable that the transition between the two dominant modal contributors occurs at sleeve lengths that impart a natural frequency that is close to that corresponding to the shaft. It is concluded that the mechanism of passive control via use of the sleeves is a combination of softening due to the added mass of the sleeves and coherence of the individual modes of the shaft and sleeves. In this way, it is shown that the sleeves act in a manner similar to a tuned mass-damper. By appropriate design therefore, use of balancing sleeves offer the opportunity to increase the critical speed margin in practical applications and reduce unwanted lateral vibrations.
The previously untold story about Professor Zenon Kondra’s 1960’s research as co-breeder with Dr. Baldur  Stefansson at the University of Manitoba, developing the first Canola variety for Canada, named Tower, and his subsequent canola breeding achievements as Professor of oilseed and special crops at the University of Alberta

Section (A) of TALES OF ALES #8 describes production and variety changes over time as rapeseed production in Canada transitioned into canola production as soon as this new crop was developed. Section (B) describes how Dr. Zenon Kondra’s breeding work created the very first Canola variety in Canada at the University of Manitoba, in plant breeder Professor Steffanson’s program, and then reset the bar to increase the yield potential in this new crop with its newly defined grain quality requirements. Kondra then focused on breeding adapted canola varieties for the Parkland zone of the western Canadian Prairies, with its short growing season but high yield potential. It also describes Kondra’s continued successful breeding work at the University of Alberta, the ever -continuing funding challenges that beset the program on a yearly basis, and the foundational germplasm and facility improvements left as a legacy for the breeders who followed, Professors Stringam and Rahman. Kondra’s variety Alto was one of the parents in the cross that Stringam (Kondra’s academic replacement after his retirement) used to breed the variety Quantum, the variety that “saved the entire W. Canadian canola industry from production devastation from the new but debilitating disease called blackleg”. A summary listing of all the varieties subsequently released by the University of Alberta up to 2022 is also included.

description: Recently developed methods allowing to find the solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equations in Minkowski space, both for the bound and scattering states, are reviewed. For the bound states, one obtains the bound state mass and the corresponding BS amplitude. For the scattering states, the phase shifts (complex above the meson creation threshold) and the half-off-shell BS amplitude are found. Using these solutions, the elastic and transition electromagnetic form factors are calculated.

description: Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GP) chemotherapy is the standard of care for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the mechanisms underpinning its clinical activity are unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and T and B cell receptor sequencing of matched, treatment-naive and post-GP chemotherapy NPC samples, we identified that GP chemotherapy activated an innate-like B cell (ILB)-dominant antitumor immune response. Collectively, our study provides a high-resolution map of the tumor immune microenvironment after GP chemotherapy and uncovers a role for B cell-centered antitumor immunity. We also identify and validate ILB as a potential biomarker for GP-based treatment in NPC, which could improve patient management.

description: Benford's law is an empirical law predicting the distribution of the first significant digits of numbers obtained from natural phenomena and mathematical tables. It has been found to be applicable for numbers coming from a plethora of sources, varying from seismographic, biological, financial, to astronomical. We apply this law to analyze the data obtained from physical many-body systems described by the one-dimensional anisotropic quantum XY models in a transverse magnetic field. We detect the zero-temperature quantum phase transition and find that our method gives better finite-size scaling exponents for the critical point than many other known scaling exponents using measurable quantities like magnetization, entanglement, and quantum discord. We extend our analysis to the same system but at finite temperature and find that it also detects the finite temperature phase transition in the model. Moreover, we compare the Benford distribution analysis with the same obtained from the uniform and Poisson distributions. The analysis is furthermore important in that the high-precision detection of the cooperative physical phenomena is possible even from low-precision experimental data.

New diagnosis: Trigonostominae with afferent system differentiated into a bursa and a sclerotized bursal appendage. Bursa usually with slender bursal canal. Bursal appendage very variable, consisting of a funnel-shaped tube, two slender tubes or a combination of both, with or without a sclerotized ring, sometimes partly protruding into the bursa. Sclerotized parts of the male copulatory organ consisting of a proximally curved stylet proper connected to an accessory mantle at its base. Mantle differentiated into one or several pieces, either plates, tubes, or a combination of both. Accessory mantle either partly sheathing the stylet proper or completely separate from it.
Type species: Ceratopera gracilis (von Graff, 1882) Den Hartog, 1964.
Remarks: The genus Messoplana is suppressed based on the results of our phylogenetic analysis and the ambiguity of the morphological characters differentiating the representatives of Messoplana and Ceratopera sensu Den Hartog (see discussion C. complicata sp. nov.). All species of Messoplana are transferred to Ceratopera, which now has 26 valid species. A new diagnosis for Ceratopera is provided.

description: Precise angular distributions have been measured for the first time for the photoproduction of $π^{0}$-mesons off neutrons bound in the deuteron. The effects from nuclear Fermi motion have been eliminated by a complete kinematic reconstruction of the final state. The influence of final-state-interaction effects has been estimated by a comparison of the reaction cross section for quasi-free protons bound in the deuteron to the results for free protons and then applied as a correction to the quasi-free neutron data. The experiment was performed at the tagged photon facility of the Mainz Microtron MAMI with the Crystal Ball and TAPS detector setup for incident photon energies between $0.45$~GeV and $1.4$~GeV. The results are compared to the predictions from reaction models and partial-wave analyses based on data from other isospin channels. The model predictions show large discrepancies among each other and the present data will provide much tighter constraints. This is demonstrated by the results of a new analysis in the framework of the Bonn-Gatchina coupled-channel analysis which included the present data.

description: Microtubules (MTs) are cytoplasmic protein polymers that are essential for fundamental cellular processes including the maintenance of cell shape, organelle transport and formation of the mitotic spindle. Microtubule dynamic instability is critical for these processes, but it remains poorly understood, in part because the relationship between the structure of the MT tip and the growth/depolymerization transitions is enigmatic. What are the functionally significant aspects of a tip structure that is capable of promoting MT growth, and how do changes in these characteristics cause the transition to depolymerization (catastrophe)? Here we use computational models to investigate the connection between cracks (laterally unbonded regions) between protofilaments and dynamic instability. Our work indicates that it is not the depth of the cracks per se that governs MT dynamic instability. Instead it is whether the cracks terminate in GTP-rich or GDP-rich areas of the MT that governs whether a particular MT tip structure is likely to grow, shrink, or transition: the identity of the crack-terminating subunit pairs has a profound influence on the moment-by-moment behavior of the MT.

description: The KLOE collaboration recently reported bounds on the directional dependence of the lifetime of the short-lived neutral kaon $K^0_S$ with respect to the dipole anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background. We interpret their results in an effective field theory framework developed to probe the violation of Lorentz invariance in the weak interaction and previously applied to semileptonic processes, in particular $β$ decay. In this approach a general Lorentz-violating tensor $χ^{μν}$ is added to the standard propagator of the $W$ boson. We perform an exploratory study of the prospects to search for Lorentz violation in nonleptonic decays. For the kaon, we find that the sensitivity to Lorentz violation is limited by the velocity of the kaons and by the extent to which hadronic effects can be calculated. In a simple model we derive the $K^0_S$ decay rate and calculate the asymmetry for the lifetime. Using the KLOE data, limits on the values of $χ^{μν}$ are determined.

description: The magnetic systems with disorder form an important class of systems, which are under intensive studies, since they reflect real systems. Such a class of systems is the spin glass one, which combines randomness and frustration. The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Ising spin glass with random couplings in the presence of a random magnetic field is investigated in detail within the framework of the replica method. The two random variables (exchange integral interaction and random magnetic field) are drawn from a joint Gaussian probability density function characterized by a correlation coefficient $ρ$. The thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams are studied with respect to the natural parameters of both random components of the system contained in the probability density. The de Almeida-Thouless line is explored as a function of temperature, $ρ$ and other system parameters. The entropy for zero temperature as well as for non zero temperatures is partly negative or positive, acquiring positive branches as $h_{0}$ increases.

description: We consider the tracer diffusion $D_{rr}$ that arises from the run-and-tumble motion of low Reynolds number swimmers, such as bacteria. In unbounded dilute suspensions, where the dipole swimmers move in uncorrelated runs of length $λ$, an exact solution showed that $D_{rr}$ is independent of $λ$. Here we verify this result in numerical simulations for a particular model swimmer, the spherical squirmer. We also note that in confined microenvironments, such as microscopic droplets, microfluidic devices and bacterial microzones in marine ecosystems, the size of the system can be comparable to $λ$. We show that this effect alone reduces the value of $D_{rr}$ in comparison to its bulk value, and predict a scaling form for its relative decrease.

description: Despite interest from policymakers and the telecommunications sector to deliver superfast broadband to the whole of the UK, rural areas remain underserved, decreasing their ability to benefit from broadband-enabled services. Public intervention, primarily structured as national subsidies, is active across the UK to respond to this rural market failure. Complementing such practices are local-level strategies framed as community-led broadband initiatives. Their inclusion within wider superfast broadband installation strategies has not yet been examined. This doctoral research examines two of these initiatives, their structure and impact on the community to develop an understanding of their potential as replicable rural broadband delivery mechanisms. I analyse both the process of installing superfast broadband technology from community-led perspective and the subsequent engagement with superfast broadband through a qualitative longitudinal approach. A conceptual framework of 'social resilience' is developed as a contemporary analytical tool for examining these individual and community processes. The findings reveal an inherent complexity to rural community-led broadband provision. Community-led broadband reflects a 'localism' development approach, and this process has strengthened local rural identity. Following the adoption of superfast broadband, rural users experienced a growth in digital knowledge and individual resilience. However, the initiatives themselves are often discussed as 'separate from', or incompatible with, the telecommunications industry, as well as sitting outside the scope of current government interventions. In doing so, barriers to external networking and extra-local partnerships are built, limiting the opportunities for community-led broadband networks to become a substantive part of rural broadband delivery across the UK. Throughout the thesis, an understanding of these various tensions, impacting the success, use and replicability of rural community-led broadband, is developed and community-led broadband is shown to be another example of uneven rural development. I conclude by making recommendations for future digital policy interventions in the UK.

description: Voice over IP (VoIP) is the technology allowing voice and multimedia transmissions as data packets over a private or a public IP network. Thanks to the benefits that it may provide, the VoIP technology is increasingly attracting attention and interest in the industry. Actually, VoIP allows significant benefits for customers and communication services providers such as cost savings, rich media service, phone and service portability, mobility, and the integration with other applications. Nevertheless, the deployment of the VoIP technology encounters many challenges such as architecture complexity, interoperability issues, QoS issues, and security concerns. Among these disadvantages, VoIP security issues are becoming more serious because traditional security devices, protocols, and architectures cannot adequately protect VoIP systems from recent intelligent attacks. The aim of this paper is carry out a deep analysis of the security concerns of the VoIP technology. Firstly, we present a brief overview about the VoIP technology. Then, we discuss security attacks and vulnerabilities related to VoIP protocols and devices. After that, we talk about the security profiles of the VoIP protocols, and we present the main security components designed to help the deployment of a reliable and secured VoIP systems.

description: Considerable research has been undertaken into the nature and consequences of contemporary and future global climate change, yet detailed regional studies concerning these dynamics prior to the twentieth century have only recently begun to emerge. This thesis investigates this historical climate-society interface over a c. 400- year period of socio-political change in southeast Africa. This spans the development, expansion and impoverishment of African state structures, and the arrival of the Portuguese and its impacts, between c. 1450-1830 in the Zambezi-Limpopo region, and the origins and events of socio-political transformation between c. 1760-1828 in the KwaZulu-Natal area. Previous hypotheses have proposed causal relationships between precipitation variability and this societal change, though these are predominantly built upon an apparent coincidence between the inferences of a narrow range of datasets. This cross-disciplinary study therefore reframes this research area by placing the interlinked concepts of vulnerability and resilience at the centre of its approach to tie past climate variability and societal development. First, past climate variability is evaluated using a wide range of proxy-documentary precipitation records over the last millennium, and then reconstructed using wind data from ships’ logbooks in the early-nineteenth century. This analysis reveals good agreement between sources on the evolution of precipitation variability. Similarly, palaeoclimatic, written and oral sources display strong coherence between the increased variability of precipitation and recorded climate impacts, such as in the onset and amelioration of Little Ice Age cool-dry conditions in the 1570s-1590s and 1790s-1820s. While this suggests that direct climatic-induced stress increased in times of regional or global climatic change, extensive analysis of food security, livelihoods and socio-political vulnerability from written and oral sources indicates that longer-term, structural vulnerabilities of individuals and communities were crucial in conditioning the plurality of human responses to and the overall significance of past climate variability across southeast Africa.

After post-Marxism: The Recuperation and Regeneration of Marxism in Contemporary British and American Fiction

description: This thesis constitutes the first sustained attempt to locate twenty-first-century Anglo-American fiction in relation to Marxist literary criticism, resulting in a solid set of original-reference material for those undertaking work on writers Jonathan Lethem, Dana Spiotta, China Miéville, Thomas Pynchon, and Kim Stanley Robinson, or more generally on the intersections between literature, Marxist critical theory, and philosophy.The project uncovers the topics, concerns, and forms of a collection of contemporary cross-genre narratives that I take to instantiate a new political designation occurring after post-Marxism. Moving from the collapse of “actually existing socialism” to the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century, the study identifies five authors who demonstrate a willingness to forge fresh dialogues with Marx, Marxism, and left radical politics. Envisioning how society is shaped by the interaction of subjects operating within the capital relation, the selected fictions of these authors set out to recuperate and regenerate the Marxist intellectual tradition through an unashamedly anti-capitalist approach to the post-millennial world.In focusing upon British and American narrative, the study will redress the current disparity within the Marxist critical tradition between the pervasiveness of critical political economy and the relative lack of scholarly attention to Marxist literary criticism, and the contemporary novel in particular. In addition, it argues the contemporary moment offers an opportunity for the development of a more critical and rigorous Marxist conceptual knowledge that exists beyond the boundaries of postmodern epistemology. The imperative to pursue Marxist readings of contemporary literature has been undertaken by a small group of critics in recent years, and this study will seek to make a significant contribution to this emerging field of scholarly endeavour.
The Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background Generated by Cosmic String Networks: the Small-Loop Regime

description: We consider an alternative approach for the computation of the stochastic gravitational wave background generated by small loops produced throughout the cosmological evolution of cosmic string networks and use it to derive an analytical approximation to the corresponding power spectrum. We show that this approximation produces an excellent fit to more elaborate results obtained using the Velocity-dependent One-Scale model to describe cosmic string network dynamics, over a wide frequency range, in the small-loop regime.

La pertinencia publica del discurso teológico hoy
Creators: name: Martínez, Julio
Publisher: name: Ephata
Year: 2020

description: O artigo parte dos diversos modos de articulação entre as dimensões pública e privada, sobretudo tal como foi concebida no contexto da modernidade e como é revista no contexto da revolução digital. É nesse complexo contexto cultural que a teologia conhece uma situação algo difícil. O que não invalida, antes exige, que o diálogo seja o seu modo de ser e de estar. Dos tópicos desse diálogo, destaca‑se o conceito de “teologia pública”, articulado no debate com diversas áreas do saber, como a filosofia, a ética e a própria política. Chega‑se, assim, à proposta de uma Teologia Pública Fundamental, que encontra na categoria da mediação o seu recurso epistemológico fundamental.

Il sacro, l’evangelo, la fede Un compito per la teologia fondamentale
Creators: name: Sequeri, Pierangelo
Publisher: name: Ephata
Year: 2020

description: O artigo pretende pensar a relação entre uma antropologia do sagrado e a teologia fundamental. Para tal, parte da transformação evangélica do sagrado, tal como realizada em Jesus, o Filho. Ele passa a ser a medida do sagrado, superando as suas reduções religiosas ou irreligiosas. Esse instrumento permite um discernimento do sagrado em regime cristão, assente na dimensão ético‑teologal do religioso. O cristianismo torna‑se uma crítica religiosa do religioso, na dialética entre fé e religião. O contexto irreligioso da secularização exige uma exposição própria desta tarefa crítica, na busca daquilo que é comum aos humanos, como justiça.

description: We investigate quantum computational complexity of calculating partition functions of Ising models. We construct a quantum algorithm for an additive approximation of Ising partition functions on square lattices. To this end, we utilize the overlap mapping developed by Van den Nest, Dür, and Briegel [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 117207 (2007)] and its interpretation through measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC). We specify an algorithmic domain, on which the proposed algorithm works, and an approximation scale, which determines the accuracy of the approximation. We show that the proposed algorithm does a nontrivial task, which would be intractable on any classical computer, by showing the problem solvable by the proposed quantum algorithm are BQP-complete. In the construction of the BQP-complete problem coupling strengths and magnetic fields take complex values. However, the Ising models that are of central interest in statistical physics and computer science consist of real coupling strengths and magnetic fields. Thus we extend the algorithmic domain of the proposed algorithm to such a real physical parameter region and calculate the approximation scale explicitly. We found that the overlap mapping and its MBQC interpretation improves the approximation scale exponentially compared to a straightforward constant depth quantum algorithm. On the other hand, the proposed quantum algorithm also provides us a partial evidence that there exist no efficient classical algorithm for a multiplicative approximation of the Ising partition functions even on the square lattice. This result supports that the proposed quantum algorithm does a nontrivial task also in the physical parameter region.

description: We study extensions of Wermer's maximality theorem to several complex variables. We exhibit various smoothly embedded manifolds in complex Euclidean space whose hulls are non-trivial but contain no analytic disks. We answer a question posed by Lee Stout concerning the existence of analytic structure for a uniform algebra whose maximal ideal space is a manifold.

description: This masters’ research is a stepping stone towards a comprehensive assessment and guidance system that would is to be further developed in a post-masters stage. It starts by performing a critical analysis to BREEAM’s Code for Sustainable Homes (CfSH), describing the various sections and requirements to satisfy a code six rating. To pursue the goal of comprehensive guidelines, the research will pursue literature pertaining to Living Building Challenge (LBC), PassivHaus and BREEAM, each chapter concluding with a critical analysis of the system, its stronger points and its potential for implementation in the final framework. A cross case analysis between three case studies reflecting on each of the systems will be performed, analyzing the steps taken and the final output of each system’s efforts on a building that achieved its highest qualification. This will include EcoSense house and zHome for LBC, Kingspan Lighthouse for BREEAM CfSH and Lancaster CoHousing project for PassivHaus.The research progresses through its chapters by critically analyzing and extrapolating criteria, concluding them at the end of each chapter in order to be analyzed under the larger umbrella of categories. Right before the thesis concludes, the culmination of criteria extracted through the previous chapters were organized and assigned to their respective categories. And finally, based on the overall qualitative and quantitative results of this study, the researched prepared a set of guidelines encompassing a preliminary step towards creating an assessment system with further post-masters research.

description: La polemica sull'ateismo della filosofia di Fichte che scoppia nell'autunno del 1798 in conseguenza della pubblicazione del saggio Über den Grund unseres Glaubens an eine göttliche Weltgierung, sul quaderno VIII del «Philosophisches Journal», è certamente una controversia filosofica sull'esistenza di Dio, ma si può considerare in pari tempo e con pari importanza un confronto tra diverse posizioni sulla libertà e sul nesso da stabilire tra l'idea di libertà e l'idea di Dio.

description: Ce mémoire a pour but de proposer aux enseignants de droit des exercices qui permettent de travailler le vocabulaire juridique avec les élèves. Basés sur les fondements théoriques décrivant le fonctionnement de la mémoire de l’individu et son rôle sur l’apprentissage du vocabulaire en général, nous proposons et analysons cinq activités autour du thème de l’introduction au droit des contrats. Parmi les activités proposées, deux d’entre elles ont pour objectif de travailler la mémorisation lexicale des mots de vocabulaire, ce qui permet leur reconnaissance à l’écrit et à l’oral. La mémorisation sémantique est, quant à elle, travaillée à travers toutes les activités proposées. Celle-ci permet la compréhension des mots de vocabulaire. Afin de s’assurer de la mémorisation à long terme du vocabulaire juridique, celle-ci doit se faire nécessairement à ces deux niveaux. Il est possible de l’optimiser en appliquant des principes tels que celui de la hiérarchie catégorielle ou celui de l’économie cognitive. Avant que les mots de vocabulaire ne soient mémorisés à long terme, ils doivent être stockés dans la mémoire à court terme de l’individu, mémoire qui a une capacité limitée. Il est possible de l’optimiser en appliquant l’organisation sémantique. Certaines des activités proposées sortent des exercices-types que l’on peut retrouver dans les manuels de droit. Ceci apporte une touche de fraîcheur à la discipline et permet aux élèves de travailler la mémorisation des mots de vocabulaire juridique au travers d’exercices tout en renforçant leur motivation dans l’apprentissage de ce vocabulaire, l’objectif premier restant la mémorisation et la compréhension des mots à long terme. Les cinq activités de ce mémoire font l’objet de propositions d’adaptations, c’est pourquoi elles doivent servir de sources d’inspiration à l’enseignant qui pourra les modifier en fonction de ses besoins (public cible, plans d’études, thèmes juridiques, etc.), tout en gardant en tête les aspects théoriques liés à la mémoire.
