description: We study an electronic structure of CeRhSb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$ system, which displays quantum critical transition from a Kondo insulator to a non-Fermi liquid at $x=0.13$. We provide ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of valence band obtained at 12.5 K. Acoherent peak at the Fermi level is not present in the data, but a signal related to 4f$^1$$_{7/2}$ final state is detected. Spectral intensity at the Fermi edge has a general tendency to grow with Sn content. Theoretical calculations of band structure are realized with full-potential local-orbital minimum-basis code using scalar relativistic and full relativistic approach. The calculations reveal a depletion of density of states at the Fermi level for CeRhSb. This gap is shifted above the Fermi energy with increasing Sn content and thus a rise of density of states at the Fermi level is reflected in the calculations. It agrees with metallic properties of compounds with larger $x$. The calculations also yield another important effects of Sn substitution. Band structure is displaced in a direction corresponding to hole doping, although with deviations from a rigid band shift scenario. Lifshitz transitions modify a topology of the Fermi surface a few times and a number of bands crossing the Fermi level increases.

description: We discuss the perturbative QCD approach for the exclusive two body B-meson decays to light mesons. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues on factorization approach. We show numerical results which are compatible with present experimantal data for the charmless B-meson decays. Specailly we predict the possibility of large direct CP violation effects in $B^0 \to π^{+}π^{-}$ $(23\pm7 %)$ and $B^0\to K^{+}π^{-}$ $(-17\pm5%)$. In the last section we investigate two methods to determine the weak phases $ϕ_2$ and $ϕ_3$ from $B \to ππ,Kπ$ processes. We obtain bounds on $ϕ_2$ and $ϕ_3$ from present experimental measurements.

description: This study examines the landscape of technology-integrated learning in Indonesian education, focusing on the crucial role of online learning, despite technological advancements and social media utilization. The investigation scrutinized the mediating function of online learning motivation in the nexus between service quality, social media engagement, pedagogical competence of educators, and student learning satisfaction. Employing a quantitative approach, specifically an ex-post facto design, the research included 345 respondents from 28 vocational high schools in Gianyar, Indonesia, encompassing both public and private institutions. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis indicated a significant link between educational service quality and online learning motivation (0.367). Teachers’ pedagogical competence also has a noteworthy influence on online learning motivation (0.003). Additionally, both educational service quality (0.301) and social media use (0.031) significantly affected learning satisfaction. In conclusion, this study highlights that higher-quality educational services are positively associated with increased online learning motivation. However, increased use of social media does not necessarily result in increased online learning motivation. Similarly, improvements in teachers’ pedagogical skills do not immediately translate into increased online learning motivation.

title: Investigating The Role Of Extracellular Vesicles And MicroRNA-155 In Cerebrovascular Function In Inflammation
Creators: name: Roig-Carles, David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is an early feature of several central nervous system (CNS) pathologies and is characterised by increased leukocyte migration to the CNS and increased paracellular permeability of brain endothelial cells (BECs). The mechanisms by which the BBB actively participates in the inflammatory events that contribute to the progression of many CNS diseases is still poorly understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a novel mechanism of cell-to-cell communication. Endothelial cell-derived EVs are upregulated in circulating blood in different pathologies (e.g. multiple sclerosis) and systemic inflammation. TNFα-stimulated BECs secrete a higher number of EVs, which carry a pro-inflammatory cargo. However, the role of cerebrovascular EVs modulating inflammation at the BBB is still unclear. In this project, EVs secreted from BECs were characterised based on number, size and RNA cargo. Indeed, BECs secreted higher number of EVs in inflammation that carried pro-inflammatory modulators (e.g. miRNA-155). Uptake of EVs by NVU cells and their role in BEC function was investigated. Interestingly, EVs decreased transendothelial resistance and increased T cell adhesion to BECs via up-regulation of adhesion molecules. TNFα/IFNγ–mediated BECs dysfunction is partially modulated by miRNA-155. However, the mechanism by which miRNA-155 modulates T cell adhesion remains to be elucidated. WNK1 was identified as possible target of miRNA-155 and shown to modulate T cell adhesion. Finally, unexpected increased polydipsia in female aged miRNA-155 knock-out mice was investigated but this unexpected phenotype was attributed to a miRNA-155-independent pathway. Results from this work constitute the first evidence that BEC-derived EVs modulate BBB function in inflammation, which is likely to be a mechanism of the cells to amplify pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling in the vasculature. Additionally, this work has demonstrated endothelial WNK1 as a modulator of T cell adhesion. Genotyping tissue from miRNA-155 KO mice will serve for future identification of novel modulators of water balance.

CK2

description: This thesis explores two approaches to fragment-based drug discovery. First, protein target CK2 was chosen due to its importance in the cancer phenotype. A literature fragment, NMR154L, proved to be a promising compound for fragment development, due to its binding at the interface site of the protein rather than the highly conserved ATP pocket. Analogues were synthesised of this fragment leading to a candidate with a better IC50. Additionally, computer modelling of the interface site suggested that a series of spirocyclic compounds would inhibit this protein. These were synthesised and tested in vitro. Results from these tests were analysed and informed the synthesis of new inhibitors with the aid of crystal structures and computer modelling. Secondly, to address the lack of spirocyclic scaffolds in fragment screening libraries a number of diversity-orientated synthetic campaigns were undertaken. The first of these utilised glycine as starting material. Two terminal alkenes were installed. The alkenes were linked and the amino and acidic residues cyclised. This allowed for the formation of a diverse range of spirocyclic scaffolds from this one starting material. Having established chemistry for linking amino and acidic residues a campaign with dehydroalanine was under taken. This would allow for the installation of the second ring by pericyclic chemistry as well as using chemistry previously established. This pericyclic chemistry was also applied to synthesising spirocycles from rings with exocyclic double bonds. These being readily installed from Wittig chemistry, this allowed utilisation of starting materials which contained a cyclic ketone. Of these azetidinone was a good candidate due to the fact it was a commercially available building block and allowed access to spirocycles containing a 4-membered ring; an underrepresented ring size. Finally, computation analysis was carried out on the library to assess it diversity and any potential biological targets which these fragments may inhibit.

description: We revisit the classical problem of electromagnetic wave refraction from a lossless dielectric to a lossy conductor, where both media are considered to be non-magnetic, linear, isotropic and homogeneous. We derive the Fresnel coefficients of the system and the Poynting vectors at the interface, in order to compute the reflectance and transmittance of the system. We use a particular parametrisation of the referred Fresnel coefficients so as to make a connection with the ones obtained for refraction by an interface between two lossless media. This analysis allows the discussion of an actual application, namely the Fresnel polarisation of infra-red radiation by elemental bismuth, based on the concept of pseudo Brewster's angle.

description: The number of works made freely accessible on the Web by cultural institutions joined to Open Archive Initiatives such as libraries, archives and museums, along with research institutions and foundations, is constantly growing and it is becoming more complex. Unfortunately, these institutions are slow to offer innovative services and do not pay sufficient attention to the access functionalities required by users, whilst current technology solutions for wide dissemination and manipulation, like OAI Service provider implementation, are not enough. In this scenario, the benefits of the free access to resources is lost.
The proposed approach aims to increase resource circulation among users exploiting the P2P network and it provides a single application to search and access physical resources. Furthermore, the solution aims to transform the OAI resource into some intelligent content exploiting the structural richness and semantic awareness of the new OA complex digital objects, while preserving their authority and reliability. These new interaction possibilities with contents can stimulate any developing of new manipulation features according to each specific domain user requirements.

description: The role of inequality in development has been the subject of long-standing debates in academic and policy circles. Notwithstanding disagreements about exactly how the two are linked, conventional wisdom agrees that inequality is an objective ‘fact’ that can be measured free from ideological considerations. New data detect trends towards higher inequality, weaker economic positions for those at the bottom, and a concentration of wealth at the very top of the distribution in most regions. Inequality studies as currently practiced are ill-equipped to accommodate the empirical changes and the resulting theoretical implications. Putting an end to over half a century of mainstream consensus assuming that inequality would automatically recede with developmental progress, the discipline needs rethinking. My thesis proposes a new research agenda for studying inequality that is not only able to integrate these empirical developments, but which also challenges what has been taken for granted: that inequality just is, independently of context, time and observer. Instead, it proposes that along with its objective existence, inequality is a relational phenomenon subjectively experienced relative to a particular context. In five interconnected Sections, my dissertation challenges conventional views of how inequality looks, how it is seen, and what can be done about it, especially in developing countries. The study focuses on the ways in which inequality is perceived, and how it is perpetuated. After an introduction to the subject in Section I, Section II investigates how inadequate measurement perpetuates inequality, proposing a new indicator that shows that inequality is largely defined in the extreme ends of the income distribution. Section III examines the reproduction of inequality at the bottom, contrasting minimum wage policies over recent decades in Mexico with those of other countries in Latin America. In light of a political economy resistant to change, Section IV scrutinizes Mexican elites, exploring how inequality is perceived from the very top of the income distribution, how this affects policy-making and, subsequently, measured inequality levels. Section V concludes by outlining the theoretical and practical implications of my findings.

description: A reliable model of galaxy bias is necessary for interpreting data from future dense galaxy surveys. Conventional bias models are inaccurate, in that they can yield unphysical results ($δ_g < -1$) for voids that might contain half of the available cosmological information. For this reason, we present a physically-motivated bias model based on an analogy with the Ising model. With only two free parameters, the model produces sensible results for both high- and low-density regions. We also test the model using a catalog of Millennium Simulation galaxies in cubical survey pixels with side lengths from $2h^{-1}$--$31h^{-1}$Mpc, at redshifts from 0 to 2. We find the Ising model markedly superior to linear and quadratic bias models on scales smaller than $10h^{-1}$Mpc, while those conventional models fare better on scales larger than $30h^{-1}$Mpc. While the largest scale where the Ising model is applicable might vary for a specific galaxy catalog, it should be superior on any scale with a non-negligible fraction of cells devoid of galaxies.

description: The technological refinement of experimental techniques has recently allowed the generation of two-photon polarization-entangled states at low Earth orbit, which has been subsequently applied to quantum communications. This achievement paves the way to study the interplay between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in new setups. Here, we study the generation of two-photon energy-time entangled states via large scale Franson and Hugged interferometric arrays in the presence of a weak gravitational field. We show that for certain configurations of the arrays, an entangled state emerges as a consequence of the gravitational time delay. We also show that the aforementioned arrays generate entanglement and violate the Clauser-Horne-Shymony-Holt inequality under suitable conditions even in the presence of frequency dispersion.

description: Abstract Assessing Improvisation in Graded Music Examinations: Conflicting Practices and Perceptions Patrick Garrett Olsen For a practice that has influenced the development of most of the musical techniques and compositional forms of Western music (Ferand, 1965, p.5), ‘improvisation’ is challenging to define. Recently, the graded music examinations offered by the two largest UK-based music examination boards, the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) and Trinity College London (TCL), have added options to assess improvisation within their instrumental curricula without clearly defining what they mean by ‘improvisation’ or how they assess it. This thesis argues that the lack of consistent definitions by the two leading examination boards results in a lack validity and meaning since it is unclear to examination stakeholders (music teachers, students, examiners and syllabus authors) exactly what is being assessed and how. This thesis investigates how ‘improvisation’ is defined, practiced, assessed and perceived within instrumental graded musical examinations. Evidence addressing the perspectives of the teaching-and-learning stakeholders is drawn from case-study observations and interviews of instrumental music lessons while candidates prepared for and completed an examination requiring improvisation. The perspectives of the examination board stakeholders are investigated through document analysis of the syllabuses, curricula and institutional websites of the examination boards in addition to interviews with examination board executives. The findings provide an initial investigation into an unexplored intersection of music education, improvisation and the business of graded examination boards. A clearer understanding emerges of the cultural and social practices of improvisation both inside and outside of the hegemony of graded examinations and the teaching-and- learning communities that support them. The findings of this thesis challenge the examination boards and bring more clarity to their assessment practices. and can help guide music teachers and students through the currently unclear landscape of improvisation in the ABRSM and TCL examinations.

description: The study area is focused on the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench, North Pacific Ocean. This region is geologically complex, notable for the lithosphere activity, tectonic plates subduction and active volcanism. The submarine geomorphology is complicated through terraces, slopes, seamounts and erosional processes. Understanding geomorphic features of such a region requires precise modelling and effective visualization of the high-resolution data sets. Therefore, current research presents a Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) based algorithm proposing a solution for effective data processing and precise mapping: iterative module-based scripting for the automated digitizing and modelling. Methodology consists of the following steps: topographic mapping of the raster grids, marine gravity and geoid; semi-automatic digitizing of the orthogonal cross-section profiles; modelling geomorphic trends of the gradient slopes; computing raster surfaces from the xyz data sets by modules nearneighbor and XYZ2grd. Several types of the cartographic projections were used: oblique Mercator, Mercator cylindrical, conic equal-area Albers, conic equidistant. The cross-section geomorphic profiles in a perpendicular direction across the two selected segments of the trench were automatically digitized. Developed algorithm of the semi-automated digitizing of the profiles enabled to visualize gradients of the slope steepness of the trench. The data were then modelled to show gradient variations in its two segments. The results of the comparative geomorphic analysis of northern and southern transects revealed variations in different parts of the trench. Presented research provided more quantitative insights into the structure and settings of the submarine landforms of the hadal trench that still remains a question for the marine geology. The research demonstrated the effectiveness of the GMT: a variety of modules, approaches and tools that can be used to produce high-quality mapping and graphics. The GMT listings are provided for repeatability.

description: Agricultural production under contractual agreements is considered profitable, enabling the integration of smallholder farmers into agricultural commodity value chains. This calls for agricultural policies targeting rural development to emphasize the support for such initiatives. In Tanzania, small-scale farmers’ involvement in contract farming (CF) has remained consistently low. Therefore, this study analyzed the drivers influencing sorghum farmers’ engagement in CF offered by brewing companies in the country. Cross-sectional data from 400 sorghum farmers in the three districts of Kongwa, Mpwapwa and Chamwino in Tanzania were used. A binary logit model was employed to analyze the driving factors that influence CF engagement. The logit model shows that age, a mix of family-hired labor, extension services, both leased and owned land, saving and credit group membership, CF trust, and grain price significantly and positively drive farmers’ decisions toward CF. Conversely, household size, grain bulking distance and experience significantly and negatively affected farmers’ involvement in contract cultivation. Therefore, this study recommends effective policy efforts that promote improved extension services, saving and credit groups, and good grain pricing to enhance participation in CF by sorghum farmers.

description: Quantum computers have the potential to speed up certain problems that are hard for classical computers. Hybrid systems, such as the nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond, are among the most promising systems to implement quantum computing, provided the control of the different types of qubits can be efficiently implemented. In the case of the NV center, the anisotropic hyperfine interaction allows one to control the nuclear spins indirectly, through gate operations targeting the electron spin, combined with free precession. Here we demonstrate that this approach allows one to implement a full quantum algorithm, using the example of Grover's quantum search in a single NV center, whose electron is coupled to a carbon nuclear spin. The results clearly demonstrate the advantage of the quantum algorithm over the classical case.

description: This research examines the overlooked phenomenon of first impressions between strangers in urban and psychological research. These rapid social judgments have a significant impact on potential future relations and contribute to a sense of welcomeness and belonging in communities. They occur abundantly in urban transitory spaces such as streets, malls, public squares, park(let)s and other in-between arenas where we frequently encounter strangers. This study formed and tested a theoretical hypothesis about how the composition of such spaces affects first impressions through survey-experiment and causal-comparative analysis. The discussion highlights and introduces the relevance of first impressions to urban discourse while offering a pathway to spatially investigate them. The findings have implications for convivial design and psychological research.

description: The influence of nonperturbative fields on instantons in quantum chromodynamics is studied. Nonperturbative vacuum is described in terms of nonlocal gauge invariant vacuum averages of gluon field strength.Effective action for instanton is derived in bilocal approximation and it is demonstrated that stochastic background gluon fields are responsible for infra-red (IR) stabilization of instantons. Dependence of characteristic instanton size on gluon condensate and correlation length in nonperturbative vacuum is found. Comparison of obtained instanton size distribution with lattice data is made.

description: The burgeoning food waste problem is driving environmental pollution and climate change due to landfilling of waste. It is imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower carbon footprint through food waste management. In the culinary setting, a vast amount of food waste is generated from food preparation. However, there is no module to educate staff on this. In this study, a culinary waste management (CWM) module was introduced to train culinary arts students to reduce culinary waste in the food preparation process, from cleaning to assembling. It is essential to assess the user-friendliness of the module during practical implementation. This study aimed to explore participants’ awareness and understanding of CWM before and after implementing of a CWM module in teaching kitchens and identify the motivators and barriers to its implementation. A total of 35 participants, consisting of students, teaching chefs and cleaning staff’s were recruited at Sunway University, Malaysia. Themes derived in the pre-module interview revealed a varying degree of engagement among participants, with low literacy, alongside barriers like labor-intensiveness and concern over hygiene. The post-module interview highlighted positive psychological and cognitive impacts on participants with motivators that drive them to practice CWM. Nevertheless, barriers such as resistance to novelty impeded the implementation. Therefore, CWM is the way forward to reduce the significant amount of waste generated in culinary settings. Integrating this CWM module into the education-industrial system will equip future culinary professionals with the knowledge and skills needed for.g a sustainable culinary career.

description: In quintessence scalar field theories, the presence of scaling solutions are important during the radiation and matter epoch due to having their attractor character. Usually, it is assumed that the initial conditions of the quintessence field are in the basin of attraction of the scaling solutions. However, in order to reproduce the current cosmic acceleration, at late times, a mechanism to exit this behavior is needed. In the present work we show that the quintessential inflation models could be an excellent candidate to exhibit the above behavior. However, the crucial point of quintessential inflation is that the initial conditions has to be taken during the inflation, and at the beginning of the radiation era, the scalar field does not belong to the basin of attraction of the scaling solution. This means that, in the case where quintessence is depicted via exponential potentials, only a single exponential in the tail of the { quintessential inflation} potential is enough to depict the evolution of our universe.

description: ChlR is a MarR-type transcriptional regulator that activates the transcription of the chlAII-ho2-hemN operon in response to low oxygen conditions in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Upon exposure to low oxygen conditions, ChlR activates transcription of the operon that encodes enzymes critical to tetrapyrrole biosynthesis under low oxygen conditions. We previously identified a super-activator variant, D35H, of ChlR that constitutively activates transcription of the operon. To gain insight into the low-oxygen induced activation of ChlR, we obtained eight additional super-activator variants of ChlR including D35H from pseudorevertants of a chlAI-disrupted mutant. Most substitutions were located in the N-terminal region of ChlR. Mapping of the substituted amino acid residues provided valuable structural insights that uncovered the activation mechanism of ChlR. Super-activator variants of ChlR isolated in this work constitutively activate the transcription of the chlAII operon even under aerobic conditions where the wild type ChlR is inactive.
