description: Violation of parity symmetry in the gravitational sector, which manifests into unequal left and right circular polarization states of primordial gravitational waves, represents a way to test high-energy modifications to general relativity. In this paper we study inflation within recently proposed chiral scalar-tensor theories of gravity, that extend Chern-Simons gravity by including parity-violating operators containing first and second derivatives of the non-minimally coupled scalar (inflaton) field. Given the degeneracy between different parity-violating theories at the level of the power spectrum statistics, we make a detailed analysis of the parity violation on primordial tensor non-Gaussianity. We show, with an explicit computation, that no new contributions arise in the graviton bispectra if the couplings in the new operators are constant in a pure de Sitter phase. On the other hand, if the coupling functions are time-dependent during inflation, the tensor bispectra acquire non-vanishing contributions from the parity-breaking operators even in the exact de Sitter limit, with maximal signal in the squeezed and equilateral configurations. We also comment on the consistency relation of the three-point function of tensor modes in this class of models and discuss prospects of detecting parity-breaking signatures through Cosmic Microwave Background $B$-mode bispectra.

title: The role of Evangelicalism in the formation of nineteenth-century Ulter Protestant cultural identity
Creators: name: Sutherland, Philomena
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This thesis considers the drive to commemorate within Ulster Protestantism. It focuses on Londonderry between 1859 and 1886 with particular attention paid to the role of evangelicalism, prominent during the relevant period. The assessment is made against the historic backdrop of the Ulster Revival (1859), disestablishment of the Church of Ireland (1869) and the threat of home rule (1880s). In order to gauge more accurately the contribution of religion, a multidisciplinary approach was adopted. Insights from anthropology, political science and sociology were used to complement the primary historical approach to the subject. The subject is approached from two angles, focussing initially on a historical and biographical study of William Johnston (1829-1902), a representative figure who illustrates wider trends and linkages in Ulster's political world and secondly on the city of Londonderry and its anniversary commemorations, and on the important intersection between the two. The discourse from the sermons preached at the 12 August and 18 December commemorations, organised by the Apprentice Boys of Londonderry Association, were analysed using Ninian Smart's Dimensions of the Sacred as an analytical tool and were compared to the discourse in the secular events. This helped to ii clarify the nature of the outlook held by the protagonists and establish the extent to which it had a religious framework. The catalytic role of evangelicalism seemed evident as the synthesis between Loyalism, Orangeism and evangelicalism was explored against political chronology and in relation to covenantalism. A change in direction and a new political agenda with strong religious conviction became an aspect of Loyalism. This change was reflected in ritual that underwent significant development in the period. This was considered in relation to two important relevant scholarly concepts that related to identity, the 'invention of tradition' and 'civil religion'. The period between 1859 and 1885 proved pivotal in the development of Ulster Protestant cultural identity.
Random Boundary Geometry and Gravity Dual of $T\bar{T}$ Deformation

description: We study the random geometry approach to the $T\bar{T}$ deformation of 2d conformal field theory developed by Cardy and discuss its realization in a gravity dual. In this representation, the gravity dual of the $T\bar{T}$ deformation becomes a straightforward translation of the field theory language. Namely, the dual geometry is an ensemble of AdS$_3$ spaces or BTZ black holes, without a finite cutoff, but instead with randomly fluctuating boundary diffeomorphisms. This reflects an increase in degrees of freedom in the renormalization group flow to the UV by the irrelevant $T\bar{T}$ operator. We streamline the method of computation and calculate the energy spectrum and the thermal free energy in a manner that can be directly translated into the gravity dual language. We further generalize this approach to correlation functions and reproduce the all-order result with universal logarithmic corrections computed by Cardy in a different method. In contrast to earlier proposals, this version of the gravity dual of the $T\bar{T}$ deformation works not only for the energy spectrum and the thermal free energy but also for correlation functions.

description: Macrophthalmus (Paramareotis) Komai, Goshima & Murai, 1995
(Fig. 4B)
Small, carapace breadth <15 mm; ocular peduncles short and stout, not projecting beyond lateral carapace margins, subequal in length to breadth of front or shorter; front broad, not constricted between bases of ocular peduncles, where its breadth is 20–30% distance between external orbital angles; ischium of external maxilliped ca. 1.25 times length of merus; carapace with breadth 1.3–1.6 times length, with lateral margins subparallel, with broad-based subrectangular or pointed anterolateral teeth, without conspicuous aggregations of granules into rows or clumps on branchial regions (indistinct rows present in some); central region of posterior border of epistome usually straight (with convexity in one species); males with stridulatory apparatus in all species (i.e. with short horny ridge on ventoroflexor margin, or on inner surface near ventoroflexor margin, of cheliped merus, and lower orbital border with 1–2 large triangular protuberances occupying at least one fifth of that margin); fingers of male chela short with index straight or slightly downflexed and with differentiated teeth on both fingers. Intertidal, with one species often occurring in holes in limestone rocks and the others often associated with mangrove pneumatophores.
 Four species are included: M. boteltobagoe (Sakai, 1969), M. erato de Man, 1888, M. holthuisi Serène, 1973, and M. quadratus A. Milne Edwards, 1873 (the type), Kosuge & Davie (2001) having demonstrated that M. boteltobagoe and M. holthuisi are distinct species contra the opinion of Barnes (1976). Molecular sequence data (Kitaura et al., 2006) suggest that M. erato + M. quadratus are only distantly related to M. holthuisi + M. boteltobagoe, but instead are related to the M. brevis group of the subgenus Macrophthalmus.

description: Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) is a valuable technique for studying molecules and materials at finite temperatures where the nuclei evolve on potential energy surfaces obtained from accurate electronic structure calculations. In this work, a quantum computer-based AIMD method is presented. The electronic energies are calculated on a quantum computer using the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) method. We compute the energy gradients numerically using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem, finite differences, and a correlated sampling technique. Our method only requires additional classical calculations of electron integrals for each degree of freedom, without any additional computations on a quantum computer beyond the initial VQE run. To achieve comparable accuracy, our gradient calculation method requires three to five orders of magnitude fewer measurements than other brute force methods without correlated sampling. As a proof of concept, AIMD dynamics simulations are demonstrated for the H2 molecule on IBM quantum devices. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first successful attempt to run AIMD on quantum devices for a chemical system. In addition, we demonstrate the validity of the method for larger molecules using full configuration interaction (FCI) wave functions. As quantum hardware and noise mitigation techniques continue to improve, the method can be utilized for studying larger molecular and material systems.

description: Getting dementia is not only a neurological process. Dementia develops gradually and affects not only the individual but the family and the whole environment. Additionally, the social and physical environment might influence symptoms, detection of symptoms and the initiation of a care process. Certain environments can be adapted, avoided or change meaning during early dementia.The planned scoping review aims to give an overview on all person-environment processes that are involved during the process of getting dementia. This scoping review protocol describes how a processural perspective on dementia as well as an environmental gerontological perspective can be used to analyse the involved interactions and relationships between the individual and the social, physcial, technological, socioeconomical and service related environment.

description: Physical collisions between stars occur frequently in dense star clusters, either via close encounters between two single stars, or during strong dynamical interactions involving binary stars. Here we study stellar collisions that occur during binary-single and binary-binary interactions, by performing numerical scattering experiments. Our results include cross sections, branching ratios, and sample distributions of parameters for various outcomes. For interactions of hard binaries containing main-sequence stars, we find that the normalized cross section for at least one collision to occur (between any two of the four stars involved) is essentially unity, and that the probability of collisions involving more than two stars is significant. Hydrodynamic calculations have shown that the effective radius of a collision product can be 2-30 times larger than the normal main-sequence radius for a star of the same total mass. We study the effect of this expansion, and find that it increases the probability of further collisions considerably. We discuss these results in the context of recent observations of blue stragglers in globular clusters with masses exceeding twice the main-sequence turnoff mass. We also present Fewbody, a new, freely available numerical toolkit for simulating small-N gravitational dynamics that is particularly suited to performing scattering experiments.

description: Understanding ductility or brittleness of monolithic bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) requires detailed knowledge of the amorphous structure. The medium range order (MRO) of ductile Pd$_{40}$Ni$_{40}$P$_{20}$ and brittle Zr$_{52.5}$Cu$_{17.9}$Ni$_{14.6}$Al$_{10}$Ti$_5$ (Vit105) was characterized prior to and after notched 3-point bending tests using variable-resolution fuctuation electron microscopy. Here we show the presence of a second larger MRO correlation length in the ductile material which is not present in the brittle material. A comparison with literature suggests that the larger correlation length accounts for larger shear transformation zones (STZs) which increase the heterogeneity. This enables an easier shear band formation and thus explains the difference in deformability.

description: We present results from axisymmetric, time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the collapsar model for gamma-ray bursts. We begin the simulations after the 1.7 MSUN iron core of a 25 MSUN presupernova star has collapsed and study the ensuing accretion of the 7 MSUN helium envelope onto the central black hole formed by the collapsed iron core. We consider a spherically symmetric progenitor model, but with spherical symmetry broken by the introduction of a small, latitude-dependent angular momentum and a weak radial magnetic field. Our MHD simulations include a realistic equation of state, neutrino cooling, photodisintegration of helium, and resistive heating. Our main conclusion is that, within the collapsar model, MHD effects alone are able to launch, accelerate and sustain a strong polar outflow. We also find that the outflow is Poynting flux-dominated, and note that this provides favorable initial conditions for the subsequent production of a baryon-poor fireball.

description: We study point contact tunneling between two leads of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid through two degenerate resonant levels in parallel. This is one of the simplest cases of a quantum junction problem where the Fermi statistics of the electrons plays a non-trivial role through the Klein factors appearing in bosonization. Using a mapping to a `generalized Coulomb model' studied in the context of the dissipative Hofstadter model, we find that any asymmetry in the tunneling amplitudes from the two leads grows at low temperatures, so that ultimately there is no conductance across the system. For the symmetric case, we identify a non-trivial fixed point of this model; the conductance at that point is generally different from the conductance through a single resonant level.

title: The identification and classification of variability in stellar sources observed with SuperWasp
Creators: name: Payne, Stanley George
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this thesis was to create an automated classifier for periodic stellar objects in the Wide- Angle Search for Planets Survey (SuperW ASP) and to use the classified stars to investigate three phenomena: differentiation of Beta Lyrae and W UMa eclipsing binary stars using eclipse-depth ratio; identification of RR Lyrae stars exhibiting the Blazhko effect; and, the presence of the Oosterhoff dichotomy in the Milky Way. During this work, period/amplitude ranges and distribution maps were created for the classified stars in stellar classes Algol, Beta Lyrae, W UMa, Delta Scuti and RR Lyrae (RRAB) and comparison made with published equivalents. SuperW ASP objects known in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) were also assessed to identify differences. The automated system contained three neural networks (NNs) that processed parameters defining the' shape of the phase-folded light-curve and they were trained with representative sets of eclipsing binary, pulsating and sinusoidal-like stars. The system, installed at Leicester University processed 4.3 million object/periods from the SuperWASP database, of which 1.1 million were given prospective classifications. From these, approximately 64 thousand objects consisting of eclipsing binary and pulsating stars were assessed manually to confirm the given period/classifications and roughly half were classified correctly. The reasons for the misclassifications were identified and recommendations made on improving the results. The manually confirmed objects consisted of 12,882 Algols, 5,226 Beta Lyrae, 2,875 W UMa, 1,979 Delta Scutis and 8,322 RR Lyraes (RRAB), where significant numbers of each were unknowrr in SIMBAD or the GCVS. Many objects had periods and/or amplitudes outside published ranges with the surprising result that the majority of Beta Lyraes had periods shorter than published. A separation range for eclipse-depth ratio was identified but a cross-over point existed where differentiation was not possible. A number of new RRAB Blazhko stars were identified and the amplitude range between peaks calculated. The presence of the Oosterhoff dichotomy in the Milky Way galaxy was supported, but the causative factors could not be confirmed. Comparison of the SuperW ASP periods with the GCVS resulted in 649 variable stars being added to the GCVS catalogue where the period was unknown in the GCVS and also revision of the variability period of 194 GCVS variable stars was suggested. For comparison of classification, sub-classes were suggested for 333 unconfirmed objects in the GCVS (e.g. CEP:, EA:, RR etc.) and re-classification was suggested for 197 GCVS objects with suspected incorrect classes.

The purpose of this deliverable is to stimulate and open dialogue and fruitful exchanges with key regional actors through introductory workshops/interviews to discuss the regional ecosystems' specific contexts and activities. The aim is to collect input on the research output from Task1.1 Capitalizing on available data sources and previous projects, reports and analysis of ecosystems, to map and navigate seven different regional innovation ecosystems around Europe and lay out a picture of each while describing the region's relevant business scaling-up capabilities, such as gaps, needs, opportunities, support structures, and regulatory conditions, e.g. and identify thematic areas at policy, innovation and support to startups level of collaboration among regions in order to interweave it with the contextual knowledge. An approach of thematic collaboration will bring the partners together around common or differently ranked topic priorities in scaling support to startups of sustainable deep tech, such as circular economy, new materials, industry 4.0 and economy. The content of this report is structured based on the interviews and workshops held at the consortium level on the seven regional ecosystems with the key quadruple helix stakeholders. The deliverable introduces the primary purpose of this activity, the methodology used, and a summary overview of the main topics analysed in each ecosystem's overall achievement. Then, a thorough analysis of each region strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) is presented. Also, other key regional elements such as gaps, needs, good and best practices, and potential interregional collaborations are described. Finally, lessons learned, and conclusions based on the analysis made in each ecosystem with number of recommendations for future collaborations are highlighted. This report is the second/final activity under WP1 on Mapping and collaboration on ecosystems. It presents an overview of the seven EU regional ecosystems and will be elaborated as a basis for the WP2 Collaboration Deep Dives & Policy Review and WP3 Alignment on a Joint Programme and Action Plans.
Simulations of core convection in rotating A-type stars: Differential rotation and overshooting

description: We present the results of 3--D simulations of core convection within A-type stars of 2 solar masses, at a range of rotation rates. We consider the inner 30% by radius of such stars, thereby encompassing the convective core and some of the surrounding radiative envelope. We utilize our anelastic spherical harmonic (ASH) code, which solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the anelastic approximation, to examine highly nonlinear flows that can span multiple scale heights. The cores of these stars are found to rotate differentially, with central cylindrical regions of strikingly slow rotation achieved in our simulations of stars whose convective Rossby number (R_{oc}) is less than unity. Such differential rotation results from the redistribution of angular momentum by the nonlinear convection that strongly senses the overall rotation of the star. Penetrative convective motions extend into the overlying radiative zone, yielding a prolate shape (aligned with the rotation axis) to the central region in which nearly adiabatic stratification is achieved. This is further surrounded by a region of overshooting motions, the extent of which is greater at the equator than at the poles, yielding an overall spherical shape to the domain experiencing at least some convective mixing. We assess the overshooting achieved as the stability of the radiative exterior is varied, and the weak circulations that result in that exterior. The convective plumes serve to excite gravity waves in the radiative envelope, ranging from localized ripples of many scales to some remarkable global resonances.

description: In modeling strong gravitational lens systems, one often adopts simple models, such as singular isothermal elliptical density plus lowest-order external perturbation. However, such simple models may mislead us if the real mass distribution is more complicated than that in the assumed models. In particular, assumptions on mass models are crucial in studying flux ratio anomalies that have been suggested as evidence for a cold dark-matter substructure. We reinvestigated four quadruple lens systems using power-law Fourier models, which have advantages of clear physical meanings and the applicability of a linear method, as well as a simple singular isothermal elliptical density model. We also investigated the effect of external perturbations, including a singular isothermal sphere, lowest-order expansion, and next-order expansion. We have found that the $\cos3θ$ terms of the primary galaxy and/or of external perturbation significantly reduce the χ^2 in PG 1115+080 and B1422+231. In particular, we could reproduce the flux ratios of B1422+231 with next-order external perturbation assuming 5% flux uncertainties, suggesting that external perturbation cannot be described by a simple singular isothermal sphere approximation. On the other hand, we could not fit B0712+472 and B2045+265 very well even with our models, although the χ^2 were reduced compared with the case of using simple models. Our results clearly demonstrate that both the primary lens galaxy and the external perturbation are often more complicated than we usually assume.

description: An estimated state-space model can possibly be improved by further iterations with estimation data. This contribution specifically studies if models obtained by subspace estimation can be improved by subsequent re-estimation of the B, C, and D matrices (which involves linear estimation problems). Several tests are performed, which shows that it is generally advisable to do such further re-estimation steps using the maximum likelihood criterion. Stated more succinctly in terms of MATLAB functions, ssest generally outperforms n4sid.

description: A key factor in determining the potential habitability of synchronously rotating planets is the strength of the atmospheric boundary layer inversion between the dark side surface and the free atmosphere. Here we analyse data obtained from polar night measurements at the South Pole and Alert Canada, which are the closest analogues on Earth to conditions on the dark sides of synchronously rotating exoplanets without and with a maritime influence, respectively. On Earth, such inversions rarely exceed 30 K in strength, because of the effect of turbulent mixing induced by phenomena such as so-called mesoscale slope winds, which have horizontal scales of 10s to 100s of km, suggesting a similar constraint to near-surface dark side inversions. We discuss the sensitivity of inversion strength to factors such as orography and the global-scale circulation, and compare them to a simulation of the planet Proxima Centauri b. Our results demonstrate the importance of comparisons with Earth data in exoplanet research, and highlight the need for further studies of the exoplanet atmospheric collapse problem using mesoscale and eddy-resolving models.

description: For some time, individuals in multiple contexts have been moving from rural to urban areas for economic reasons. In recent years, however, young people in Japan have been increasingly turning to rural areas to embrace a slower, less-hectic lifestyle. Despite this interesting development, researchers have thus far failed to identify determinants of residents’ well-being in rural and urban areas in Japan. Moreover, recent empirical work has shown that stated happiness or subjective well-being (SWB) can serve as an empirical proxy for perceived utility. To expand upon this line of research, in this paper, I use SWB to gauge disparities between the Japanese rural and urban environments. In addition, I determine how natural capital and social capital affect SWB for both rural and urban residents. Results show that on average, rural residents report higher SWB than urban residents despite low average income. I also identify multiple factors other than household income that affect SWB; these relationships are particularly pronounced for rural residents. Finally, results demonstrate that residents that migrate from urban to rural areas reported high levels of SWB. Taken together, the results of this study provide new insight into rural values and the attractiveness of rural residency.

description: Natura 2000 network is a cornerstone for biodiversity conservation and the implementation of the European Union Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. Despite this, the great potential of the ecosystem service (ES) concept to add value to current conservation approaches remains insufficiently explored and there is a lack of quantitative and monetary data for the potential socio-economic benefits associated to the network. Information gaps on the economic value of ES provided by Natura 2000 are relevant in the case of Italy and, in particular, Lombardy, the Italian region hosting the highest number of Natura 2000 sites (242). The study considers the main potential ES delivered by the Natura 2000 network in Lombardy and performs a choice experiment exercise on two pilot areas (Adamello and Ticino Regional Parks) involving about 3,000 resident panellists at regional scale. Value function benefit transfer based on individual characteristics of respondents, land use and socio-economic characteristics of all regional municipalities has been performed as well. With few exceptions, results show an increase in willingness-to-pay (WTP) values that is consistent with the increase in the levels for attributes covered by the surveys. Besides providing some preliminary economic values, the research contributes to the development of a methodology for assessing and monitoring ES over time, with the aim to inform future policies and decision-making processes.

description: We performed a coincidence measurement of two nucleons emitted from the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of ^{5}_ΛHe formed via the ^{6}Li(π^+,K^+) reaction. The energies of two nucleons and the pair number distributions in the opening angle between them were measured. In both np and nn pairs, we observed a clean back-to-back correlation coming from the two-body decay of Λp --> n p and Λn --> n n, respectively. The ratio of the nucleon pair numbers was N_{nn}/N_{np}=0.45 \pm 0.11(stat)\pm 0.03(syst) in the kinematic region of cos(theta_{NN}) < -0.8. Since each decay mode was exclusively detected, the measured ratio should be close to the ratio of Γ(Λp --> np)/Γ(Λn --> nn). The ratio is consistent with recent theoretical calculations based on the heavy meson/direct quark exchange picture.

Performance evaluation of cover systems constructed of Paste Rock material
Creators: name: Miskolczi, Jozsef
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Soil covers are accepted by the mining industry as being a possible solution for the long-term environmental problems associated with Acid Rock Drainage during operations as well as post-mining. But given the wide differences between geographical and climatic conditions in which mines operate, it is impossible to create a universally usable recipe. To overcome the challenges posed by site specific temperature and precipitation regimes several types of covers were developed. The cover discussed in the present paper is of the "barrier covers" type. Following the example of success of a soil cover constructed of glacial till at Equity Silver mine in BC (Weeks and Wilson 2005, 1615-1630) the decision was made to simulate the composition of the glacial till by blending together waste rock, tailings and crushed slag. The mixture is referred to as Paste Rock. The initial laboratory testing was conducted at UBC and reported by (Fines and Wilson, 2002) while the filed testing was devised and constructed at Inco's Central Tailings Facility in Copper Cliff, Ontario. The field scale experiment is described by the current thesis. A five-pad lysimeter was constructed in 2004 in the R2 area of the Central Tailings Facility in Copper Cliff, ON and the cells were filled with tailings collected on site. Four of the cells were subsequently covered with covers constructed of Paste Rock material according to four different recipes determined during lab testing. One cell was filled up with tailings only and used as control. The scope of this phase of the experiment was the installation of field instruments and subsequent data collection and data analysis. Precipitation, infiltration, run-off, and net solar radiation data was collected between the beginning of April and mid-November 2006, over a period of 227 days. The conclusion of the data analysis is that Paste Rock covers are effectively reducing infiltration into the underlying tailings while maintaining low values of matric suction, and reducing oxygen ingress to zero. A threefold decrease in the infiltration volumes was observed in the case of the uncompacted covers, whereas the compacted covers reduced infiltration by as much as two orders of magnitude.

description: Many societal challenges are threshold dilemmas requiring people to cooperate to reach a threshold before group benefits can be reaped. Yet receiving feedback about others’ outcomes relative to one’s own (relative feedback) can undermine cooperation by focusing group members’ attention on outperforming each other. We investigated the impact of relative feedback compared to individual feedback (only seeing one’s own outcome) on cooperation in children from Germany and India (6- to 10-year-olds, N = 240). Using a threshold public-goods game with real water as a resource, we show that, although feedback had an effect, most groups sustained cooperation at high levels in both feedback conditions until the end of the game. Analyses of children’s communication (14,374 codable utterances) revealed more references to social comparisons and more verbal efforts to coordinate in the relative-feedback condition. Thresholds can mitigate the most adverse effects of social comparisons by focusing attention on a common goal.

description: There were regional increases and decreases in the number of farm households in pre-war Japan. The aim of this paper is to analyze relevant data of prefectures in the prewar period to find out the regional character of the changes in the number of farm households, and to examine its factors in relation to the Ie system. Our analysis drew six points of conclusion: (1) The number of farm households increased in eastern Japan and south Kyusyu, and decreased in western Japan; (2) Regional increase and decrease in the number of households correlated with the rise and fall in the number of tenant farm households; (3) Regional increase and decrease in the area of arable land also correlated with changes in the number of farm households; (4) Regional shifts in rural populations correlated with regional rise and fall in the number of farm households as well; (5) It is not a correct perception that impartible inheritance of land to a single heir dominated in prewar Japan. The reality was that many farmers divided their Ie property while they were still alive and gave small parts to children who did not succeed to their Ie; and (6) The number of farm households in eastern Japan grew due to the increase in the rural population and creation of tenants households that were given small tenant rights by the father as a social security in exchange for lack of inheritance of Ie.
