Evolution of a void and an adjacent galaxy supercluster in the quasispherical Szekeres model
Creators: name: Bolejko, Krzysztof
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper investigates the evolution of a void and an adjacent galaxy supercluster. For this purpose the quasispherical Szekeres model is employed. The Szekeres model is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations. In this way investigations of the evolution of the cosmic structures presented here can be freed from such assumptions as small amplitude of the density contrast. Studying the evolution of a void and an adjacent supercluster results not only in better understanding the evolution of cosmic structures but also in acquainting us with the Szekeres model. The main results include the conclusion that small voids surrounded by large overdensities evolve slower than large, isolated voids do. On the other hand, large voids enhance the evolution of adjacent superclusters which evolve much faster than isolated galaxy superclusters.

description: Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials, being composed of different components with different properties, which makes the task of dosing and strength determination complex. Artificial Neural Networks is a tool that has the ability to generalize and learn from previous experiences that are provided by a previously built database. This work aims the implementation of RNA in determining the compressive strength of concrete of various ages. The input data is the material quantities and the output is the compressive strength. The results obtained are promising and advantageous from the point of civil engineering, since the average correlation coefficient obtained was 0.96559, with the neural network showing agility and a low error rate in the inserted context, with an efficiency of approximately 95%.
Three-body optical potentials in $(d,p)$ reactions and their influence on indirect study of stellar nucleosynthesis

description: Model uncertainties, arising due to suppression of target excitations in the description of deuteron scattering and resulting in a modification of the two-body interactions in a three-body system, are investigated for several $(d,p)$ reactions serving as indirect tools for studying the astrophysical $(p,γ)$ reactions relevant to $rp$-process. The three-body nature of deuteron-target potential is treated within adiabatic distorted wave approximation (ADWA) which relies on dominant contribution from the components of the three-body deuteron-target wave function with small $n$-$p$ separations. This results in a simple prescription for treating the explicit energy-dependence of two-body optical potentials in a three-body system requiring nucleon optical potentials to be evaluated at a shifted energy with respect to the standard value of half the deuteron incident energy. In addition, the ADWA allows for leading-order multiple scattering effects to be estimated, which leads to a simple renormalization of the adiabatic potential's imaginary part by the factor of two. These effects are assessed using both nonlocal and local optical potential systematics for $^{26}$Al, $^{30}$P, $^{34}$Cl and $^{56}$Ni targets at deuteron incident energy of 12 MeV typical for experiments with radioactive beams in inverse kinematics. The model uncertainties induced by the three-body nature of deuteron-target scattering are found to be within 40$\%$ both in the main peak of angular distributions and in total $(d,p)$ cross sections. At higher deuteron energies, around 60 MeV, model uncertainties can reach 100\% in the total cross sections. A few examples of application to astrophysically interesting proton resonances in $^{27}$Si and $^{57}$Cu obtained using $(d,p)$ reactions and mirror symmetry are given.

description: This document presents the innovative mobility solutions developed and implemented within the MAMBA project. Each of them is different because they all take advantage of the opportunities and possibilities of the unique local context in the region. As a result, each individual measure has its own (hi)story, which is featured in this document. These experiences are presented in different styles, mirroring the different people who actually worked on the ground to promote better rural mobility and accessibility. In that sense, this document intentionally takes the reader on a journey to visit the various MAMBA solutions, where local guides share their experience, talk about the variety of challenges faced, introduce other members of their alliance and present the solutions they discovered.

The Realm of Bohemia: Clubland and Bohemian Culture in Victorian London and Manchester 1850-1914
Creators: name: Booth, Rory
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis is about bohemian associational culture in London and Manchester between 1850 and 1914. It is concerned with how the ideas of bohemianism and bohemia influenced specific groups of urban men during the period. Throughout, I explore the multiple moving parts that came together to form the array of interrelated images, perceptions, expectations and behaviours that constituted Victorian bohemia. I examine, in turn, the following aspects of bohemian culture: dress and appearances, interior spaces, behaviour and manner and the manifestation of particular kinds of convivial atmosphere. I follow this with a consideration of modes of homosociality and humour in bohemian communities, particularly competitive wit and practical joking. The thesis also includes a consideration of the bohemian engagement with the street, the interpretation of the urban exterior as a sequence of fantastical realms and the relation between urban rambling and constructions of bohemian selfhood. In the final section, I consider how bohemian ideals morphed and changed over the life courses of bohemian men and examine the little explored theme of ageing in bohemia. These different dimensions suggest that, due to its piecemeal and composite nature, bohemian culture was deeply concerned with performative and observational behaviours. I also find that community and interconnection, both within bohemian coteries and between bohemia and the wider middle classes, were of fundamental importance to the subculture in mid and lateVictorian England.
A cognitive framework for deriving and interpreting learning style differences among a group of intermediate grade native and non native pupils
Creators: name: Karlebach, David Geoffrey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study investigates a framework for deriving and interpreting cognitive performance differences between 32 Native and 32 non Native intermediate grade Merrit B.C. pupils. Seven processing factors were identified and operationalized by twenty-two measures. Bottom-up attentional processing was defined as incidental attention to dominant or culturally relevant stimulus characteristics (e. g. attention to color). Top-down visual attentional processing was defined as goal—directed attention to stimuli characteristics activated by the identification of response characteristics and under the control of concrete/active planning associated with visual-motor modelling or feedback. Top-down verbal attentional processing was defined as goal-directed attention to stimuli characteristics activated by the identification of response characteristics and under the control of verbal/logical planning associated with verbal instructions or feedback. Simultaneous processing was defined as receding of separate stimulus characteristics into meaningful wholes in which all the elements are mutually surveyable and meaning is associated with the whole rather than the separate parts. Successive processing was defined as receding of separate stimulus characteristics into temporal, sequence-dependent forms with meaning accessed by the order. Concrete/active processing was defined as generation, selection and monitoring of goal-directed behavior associated with visual/motor feedback. Verbal/logical processing was defined as generation, selection and monitoring of goal-directed behavior associated with verbal feedback. A cognitive process task analysis was used to generate a target matrix for the 22 tasks used in the study. Separate orthogonal procrustes solutions were used to generate error matrices for both Native and non Native groups. An examination of the mean error rates for both groups suggests the preliminary efficacy of the framework. An extensive review of the literature provides the necessary precision in language for deriving instructional implications from the framework. Native and non Native learning strengths and weaknesses, based on these seven processing factors, are discussed and related to changes in instructional tasks demands designed to optimise strengths. A Native learning style is identified with the pattern of modelling mediation characteristic of the "observational" learning environment.

description: The well known Liouville-Arnold theorem says that if a level surface of integrals of an integrable system is compact and connected, then it is a torus. However, in some important examples of integrable systems the topology of a level surface of integrals is quite complicated. This is due to the fact that in these examples the phase space has points where either the Hamiltonian is singular or the symplectic form is singular or degenerate. In such situations the Liouville-Arnold theorem does not apply. However, sometimes it is possible to define the corresponding flow on the whole level surface of integrals and use this flow to investigate the topology. Tomei (1982) and Fried (1986) used the Toda lattice to study the topology of the isospectral variety of Jacobi matrices. We recall these results and we also expose new results concerning the topology of the isospectral variety of zero-diagonal Jacobi matrices. This topology is studied using the Volterra system.

description: Drinfel'd used associators to construct families of universal representations of braid groups. We consider semi-associators (i.e., we drop the pentagonal axiom and impose a normalization in degree one). We show that the process may be reversed, to obtain semi-associators from universal representations of 3-braids. We view braid groups as subgroups of braid-permutation groups. We construct a family of universal representations of braid-permutation groups, without using associators. All representations in the family are faithful, defined over $\bbQ$ by simple explicit formulae. We show that they give universal Vassiliev-type invariants for braid-permutation groups.

description: Linking models to other models provides a way of expanding the boundaries of the analysis, but often requires solving difficult problems and even after that comes with trade-offs. This deliverable provides an analysis starting from how different models and their capabilities are characterised, then uses such model typologies to link IAM COMPACT models to the preliminary research questions collected in the stakeholder mechanism before finishing with a discussion about the various issues that should be considered when designing the linking trategy. The aim of this work is to feed into the next steps of the scenario and research question development process, and to the development of a generalised model linking process flow for the second modelling cycle.

description: We study integrable spin chains and quantum and classical cellular automata with interaction range $\ell\ge 3$. This is a family of integrable models for which there was no general theory so far. We develop an algebraic framework for such models, generalizing known methods from nearest neighbor interacting chains. This leads to a new integrability condition for medium range Hamiltonians, which can be used to classify such models. A partial classification is performed in specific cases, including $U(1)$-symmetric three site interacting models, and Hamiltonians that are relevant for interaction-round-a-face models. We find a number of models which appear to be new. As an application we consider quantum brickwork circuits of various types, including those that can accommodate the classical elementary cellular automata on light cone lattices. In this family we find that the so-called Rule150 and Rule105 models are Yang-Baxter integrable with three site interactions. We present integrable quantum deformations of these models, and derive a set of local conserved charges for them. For the famous Rule54 model we find that it does not belong to the family of integrable three site models, but we can not exclude Yang-Baxter integrability with longer interaction ranges.

Somatic and germ cells were separated based on MVH expression with germ cells identified as MVH positive and somatic cells identified as MVH negative. The somatic cell population was separated into SOX9 expressing Sertoli cells and SOX9 negative non-Sertoli somatic cells. Cell cycle analysis was performed In the Sertoli cell and non-Sertoli somatic cell populations based on EdU incorporation to identify cells in S-phase, with EdU negative cells in G0/G1 and G2/M identified according to DNA content determined by PI staining intensity (cells in G0/G1 have low PI intensity / 2N DNA content while cells in G2/M have high PI intensity / 4N DNA content). B) Appropriate controls were used to set gating including mesonephric cells to identify MVH negative cells (i), ovarian cells to identify SOX9 negative cells (ii) and cells not treated with EdU were used to identify the EdU negative population (iii).

description: We utilize the robust membership determination algorithm, ML-MOC, on the precise astrometric and deep photometric data from Gaia Early Data Release 3 within a region of radius 5$^{\circ}$ around the center of the intermediate-age galactic open cluster NGC 752 to identify its member stars. We report the discovery of the tidal tails of NGC 752, extending out to $\sim$35 pc on either side of its denser central region and following the cluster orbit. From comparison with PARSEC stellar isochrones, we obtain the mass function of the cluster with a slope, $χ=-1.26\pm0.07$. The high negative value of $χ$ is indicative of a disintegrating cluster undergoing mass-segregation. $χ$ is more negative in the intra-tidal regions as compared to the outskirts of NGC 752. We estimate a present day mass of the cluster, M$\rm_{C}=297\pm10$ M$_{\odot}$. Through mass-loss due to stellar evolution and tidal interactions, we further estimate that NGC 752 has lost nearly 95.2-98.5 % of its initial mass, $\rm M_{i}~=~0.64~-2~\times~10^{4}~M_{\odot}$.

description: We conjecture that the set of all Hilbert functions of (artinian) level algebras enjoys a very natural form of regularity, which we call the {\em Interval Conjecture} (IC): If, for some positive integer $α$, $(1,h_1,...,h_i,...,h_e)$ and $(1,h_1,...,h_i+α,...,h_e)$ are both level $h$-vectors, then $(1,h_1,...,h_i+β,...,h_e)$ is also level for each integer $β=0,1,..., α.$ In the Gorenstein case, i.e. when $h_e=1$, we also supply the {\em Gorenstein Interval Conjecture} (GIC), which naturally generalizes the IC, and basically states that the same property simultaneously holds for any two symmetric entries, say $h_i$ and $h_{e-i}$, of a Gorenstein $h$-vector. These conjectures are inspired by the research performed in this area over the last few years. A series of recent results seems to indicate that it will be nearly impossible to characterize explicitly the sets of all Gorenstein or of all level Hilbert functions. Therefore, our conjectures would at least provide the existence of a very strong - and natural - form of order in the structure of such important and complicated sets. We are still far from proving the conjectures at this point. However, we will already solve a few interesting cases, especially when it comes to the IC, in this paper. Among them, that of Gorenstein $h$-vectors of socle degree 4, that of level $h$-vectors of socle degree 2, and that of non-unimodal level $h$-vectors of socle degree 3 and any given codimension.

description: Over the past decades, the Arctic has experienced rapid warming and extensive loss of sea ice cover. These high-latitude changes have been accompanied by extreme weather events over the Arctic and mid-latitude regions (e.g. Scandinavian 2018 summer heat wave). Yet links between the Arctic sea ice cover changes and extreme weather events (droughts, floods, cold outbreaks, heatwaves, extreme snowfall), remain poorly understood. More generally, it is unclear whether Arctic sea ice variability contributes significantly to interannual variations in extreme weather events in mid- and high-latitude regions. Using an ensemble of EC-Earth coupled climate model simulations we explore the association of the seasonal-mean Arctic sea ice cover with extreme anomalies in the surface climate (on seasonal and intraseasonal timescales). We first assess these teleconnections in a set of pre-CMIP6 (H2020 PRIMAVERA) simulations in which sea ice cover evolves freely. Results are compared across different forcing boundary conditions (fixed present-day, historical and future scenarios), and horizontal spatial resolutions (1° vs 0.25° in ocean/atmosphere). Co-variability patterns of surface extreme climate with sea ice cover obtained from these different PRIMAVERA simulations are finally compared to a preliminary set of CMIP6 (PAMIP) simulations in which sea ice cover is prescribed and held invariant across years, allowing us to better establish causation in the climate system.

description: A theoretical study on thermonuclear fusion including deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion and D-$^{3}$He fusion in intense laser fields has been shown in this article. With the laser fields expected to be available in the near future, some quantitative results for the laser-induced modifications to the cross-sections are given. It is reported that the cross-sections are more sensitive to the external laser fields at the lower energies. An explicit generalized form of the Gamow penetrability factor is given for the predictions of the laser-induced effects for some other similar nuclear processes.

description: We offer in this review a description of the vacuum energy of self-similar systems. We describe two views of setting self-similar structures and point out the main differences. A review of the authors' work on the subject is presented, where they treat the self-similar system as a many-object problem embedded in a regular smooth manifold. Focused on Dirichlet boundary conditions, we report a systematic way of calculating the Casimir energy of self-similar bodies where the knowledge of the quantum vacuum energy of the single building block element is assumed and in fact already known. A fundamental property that allows us to proceed with our method is the dependence of the energy on a geometrical parameter that makes it possible to establish the scaling property of self-similar systems. Several examples are given. We also describe the situation, shown by other authors, where the embedded space is a fractal space itself, having fractal dimension. A fractal space does not hold properties that are rather common in regular spaces like the tangent space. We refer to other authors who explain how some self-similar configurations "do not have any smooth structures and one cannot define differential operators on them directly". This gives rise to important differences in the behavior of the vacuum.

Maxwell and constitutive equations of the medium together with the equation of motion of the charged particles have been obtained from the Heisenberg equations using a minimal coupling scheme. Spontaneous emission of a two level atom embedded in a magnetodielectric medium is calculated in terms of electric and magnetic susceptibilities of the medium and the Green function of the cubic cavity as an application of the model.

description: [RIS3-MCAT – Smart Specialisation Mapping Platform]: The RIS3-MCAT Platform is an open government, artificial intelligence, data visualisation initiative that integrates and interrelates open data from science and innovation projects and provides an exploratory tool to visualise the development of the sectorial and technological specialisation of research and innovation projects financed by European funds. It is a main support tool for the monitoring of the Research and Innovation Strategy of Catalonia.

This demo presents a data platform and data visualisation web app supporting science and innovation policy decision-making, implementation and monitoring in Catalonia, in the context of smart specialisation. It contributes to a wider participatory process cutting across government departments (Universities and research, Industrial and innovation policy, Economic development) and bringing together stakeholders (government, universities and research centres, private companies and citizens and civil society) to participate in evidence-based policy-making.

It integrates and analyses data from 2.000 R&D projects funded by the European Commission and Generalitat de Catalunya and managed by regional and European institutions. It has been developed following open government principles; it is an ontology-based data access and integration platform; it uses artificial intelligence techniques to extract meaningful insights from extensive and heterogeneous data; it provides a co-designed data visualisation and analysis web app.

RIS3-MCAT was presented in late 2018 and during the present year is evolving in several lines. To support the definition of a challenge-oriented RIS3CAT in the next programming period (2021-2027), EU-funded projects integrated in the platform will be automatically classified into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using machine learning techniques, with the objective of:

	Identify automatically RIS3-MCAT projects contributing to the SDGs
	Analyse the relationship between RIS3CAT priorities and the SDGs
	Characterise the projects’ specific thematic contributions to the SDGs
	Map SDG value chains, subtopics and contributing actors
	Build adequate tools to facilitate expert stakeholder collaboration and coordination

description: The growth and development are governed by biotic and abiotic factors, Nature has given the mechanism to produce certain substances with adverse conditions and to produce end products which are called as bio-regulators. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are organic compounds, other than nutrients, that modify plant physiological processes. Internal and external substance that regulate plant growth are bio-regulators or plant growth-regulating substances or hormones. It is an organic compound.
Encapsulation of bacteriophages to improve effective delivery to the intracellular bacterial pathogens

description: Bacterial antimicrobial resistance represents a significant challenge to global medicine. Bacteriophage therapy is receiving renewed attention as a promising alternative, or supplement, to conventional antimicrobials, however, bacteriophages do not penetrate eukaryotic cells well. This limits their use against intracellular bacterial pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Rhodococcus equi (R. equi). Both these pathogens reside and grow within alveolar macrophages in lungs, infection requires long treatment and antimicrobial resistance is of concern.One approach to overcome this limitation of bacteriophages, is delivery within liposomes, a well-established method for targeting drugs to sites of infection, including within eukaryotic cells. The aim of this project was to formulate and test liposome-encapsulated phage preparations for activity against intracellular Actinomycete pathogens,Eight novel R. equi bacteriophages, including 4 which infect R. equi at 37°C, were isolated from soil samples collected at equine studs with a previous history of foal R. equi infections. Genomic and biological analysis of these bacteriophages revealed that these Siphoviruses share low genomic similarity. Based on size, host range, and kinetic features, R. equi phage AAM1 was selected for liposome encapsulation experiments. Different liposome lipid formulations and phage encapsulation efficiency were assessed.Liposome encapsulated bacteriophage AAM1 had higher efficiency than free bacteriophages in treating R. equi infecting J774A.1 macrophages. Prophylactic treatment of macrophages with either bacteriophage preparation was unable to prevent the establishment of R. equi infection. Although free mycobacteriophage TM4 had no effect on M. bovis BCG when applied after uptake into THP-1 macrophages, application of liposome encapsulated TM4 resulted in a significantly higher numbers of intracellular BCG.In conclusion, R. equi bacteriophages with therapeutic potential have been isolated. The preliminary evidence of efficacy of preparations of liposome encapsulated R. equi bacteriophage AAM1 in treating intracellular R. equi, supports the need for further studies and optimisation of liposome formulations.
The social construction of gender in a physical education programme
Creators: name: Dewar, Alison MacKenzie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This dissertation examines the social reproduction of gender categories in one Canadian university physical education programme. The research was conducted over a ten month period and used three primary data collection techniques; participant observation, ethnographic interviewing, and documentary analysis. The data were analyzed as an ongoing process during the study and themes were modified and developed during the time in the field. The study found that the curriculum in this programme is organized around a distinction between biological and behavioural courses on the one hand, and socio-cultural courses on the other. Each type of course provides students with alternative views of gender. When gender is taught in biological and behavioural courses it is examined as a personal attribute and the focus of attention is on how differences between males and females explain the gap in their performance levels. When gender is taught in socio-cultural courses it is viewed as a social issue, and the focus of attention is upon analyses of the ways in which play, games and sport have been socially constructed to produce and legitimize male hegemony. Despite this diversity in the curriculum students' definitions of important knowledge lead them to view knowledge from biological and behavioural courses as "really useful" and knowledge from socio-cultural courses as peripheral. Students see biological and behavioural explanations of sex differences in performance capabilities as information they can use to improve performance. Information about the social construction of gender issues is seen as peripheral as it does not help them to function within the existing social frameworks. Students negotiate the meanings of gender and develop their gender identities by accommodating to, resisting and accepting traditional definitions of gender. These acts of acceptance, accommodation and resistance are illustrated through the experiences of four different groups of students, labelled the "super jocks", "ordinary jocks", "women jocks" and "non jocks". Each of these groups developed different expressions of their gender identities but all tended to reproduce rather than transform patriarchial gender relations.

description: We consider 2D random Ising ferromagnetic models, where quenched disorder is represented either by random local magnetic fields (Random Field Ising Model) or by a random distribution of interaction couplings (Random Bond Ising Model). In both cases we first perform zero- and finite-temperature Monte-Carlo simulations to determine how the critical temperature depends on the disorder parameter. We then focus on the reversal transition triggered by an external field, and study the associated Barkhausen noise. Our main result is that the critical exponents characterizing the power-law associated with the Barkhausen noise exhibit a temperature dependence in line with existing experimental observations.

Generalized gauge field theories with non-topological soliton solutions

description: We perform a systematic analysis of the conditions under which \textit{generalized} gauge field theories of compact semisimple Lie groups exhibit electrostatic spherically symmetric non-topological soliton solutions in three space dimensions. By the term \textit{generalized}, we mean that the dynamics of the concerned fields is governed by lagrangian densities which are general functions of the quadratic field invariants, leading to physically consistent models. The analysis defines exhaustively the class of this kind of lagrangian models supporting those soliton solutions and leads to methods for their explicit determination. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the linear stability of the finite-energy solutions against charge-preserving perturbations are established, going beyond the usual Derrick-like criteria, which only provides necessary conditions.

description: In this paper we propose two models describing the dynamics of heavy and light vehicles on a road network, taking into account the interactions between the two classes. The models are tailored for two-lane highways where heavy vehicles cannot overtake. This means that heavy vehicles cannot saturate the whole road space, while light vehicles can. In these conditions the creeping phenomenon can appear, i.e. one class of vehicles can proceed even if the other class has reached the maximal density. The first model we propose couples two first-order macroscopic LWR models, while the second model couples a second-order microscopic Follow-the-Leader model with a first-order macroscopic LWR model. Numerical results show that both models are able to catch some second-order (inertial) phenomena like stop & go waves. Models are calibrated by means of real data measured by fixed sensors placed along the A4 Italian highway Trieste-Venice and its branches, provided by Autovie Venete S.p.A.
