description: Understanding the evolution of the angle $χ$ between a magnetar's rotation and magnetic axes sheds light on the star's birth properties. This evolution is coupled with that of the stellar rotation $Ω$, and depends on the competing effects of internal viscous dissipation and external torques. We study this coupled evolution for a model magnetar with a strong internal toroidal field, extending previous work by modelling -- for the first time in this context -- the strong proto-magnetar wind acting shortly after birth. We also account for the effect of buoyancy forces on viscous dissipation at late times. Typically we find that $χ\to 90^\circ$ shortly after birth, then decreases towards $0^\circ$ over hundreds of years. From observational indications that magnetars typically have small $χ$, we infer that these stars are subject to a stronger average exterior torque than radio pulsars, and that they were born spinning faster than $\sim 100-300$ Hz. Our results allow us to make quantitative predictions for the gravitational and electromagnetic signals from a newborn rotating magnetar. We also comment briefly on the possible connection with periodic Fast Radio Burst sources.

description: The paper examined the pricing efficiency of potato markets in Bangladesh using EngleGranger test (EG), Cointegration Regression for Durbin Watson (CRDW) test and Error Correction Methods (ECM). For the test of pricing efficiency of potato markets, the wholesale prices were used to test cointegration using data from January 1993 to December 2005 yielding a total of 676 observations. Engle-Granger test was used to estimate the integration among the potato markets in Bangladesh. In the cointegrating set up, error correction method estimated the long-run relationship between reference markets (Dhaka) and selected markets. The cointegration regression for Durbin Watson test revealed that the wholesales potato markets in Bangladesh were integrated

description: Quasi-periodically driven quantum parametric oscillators have been the subject of several recent investigations. Here we show that for such oscillators, the instability zones of the mean position and variance (alternatively the mean energy) for a time developing wave packet are identical for the strongest resonance in the three-dimensional parameter space of the quasi-periodic modulation as it is for the two-dimensional parameter space of the periodic modulations.

description: Arsenic contamination of groundwater is a case of mass poisoning in Bangladesh. In order to examine the nature and extent of the problem, household survey was conducted in both arsenic contaminated and non-contaminated areas. The selected arsenic `hot spots' were Faridpur and Lakshimpur while the arsenic free area was Gazipur. One village from each of the three locations was purposively selected and the number of households considered as samples was 250. The analysis showed that severity of arsenic related diseases was more acute in the poor village of Lakshimpur area (where about 50% of the household members were suffering from arsenic related skin diseases) compared to Faridpur while in Gazipur there was no case of any patient suffering from arsenic related diseases. Further, the impact of arsenic problem was found to be extended from immediate health effect to extensive social and economic hardship especially for the poor. On the other hand, access to health care facilities as well as access to save drinking water and even access to information about arsenic mitigation programs were seriously lacking particularly in Lakshimpur. Special attention from the Government, private and NGOs is needed to meet the urgent need of supplying arsenic free water to save lives of the millions of people living in the arsenic contaminated areas of Bangladesh.

description: Some recent papers by Dell et al. (2009) and Dell et al. (2012) (DJO) relating weather and economic outcomes, have delivered meaningful messages with clear implications to the effects of a changing climate. In a nutshell, the authors claim that a 1°C increase in global average temperatures would harm both the level and growth capacities of relatively poor countries, leaving rich countries basically unaffected. In this study, we make use of a detailed weather and economic dataset covering the main regions of the five largest economies in the Euro area in an attempt to refute the previous affirmation. In particular, we find in our sample that global warming affects, although in a modest manner, all regions within well-developed countries in the long-term (level effect). As in DJO, the level effect in poor regions is exacerbated. The latter regions also suffer from a slight negative short-term effect (growth effect). We claim also that the larger short-time response of these regions to a climate shock is partially adapted in the long-run.

description: We describe the geometry of generic heterotic backgrounds preserving minimal supersymmetry in four dimensions using the language of generalised geometry. They are characterised by an $SU(3)\times Spin(6+n)$ structure within $O(6,6+n)\times\mathbb{R}^+$ generalised geometry. Supersymmetry of the background is encoded in the existence of an involutive subbundle of the generalised tangent bundle and the vanishing of a moment map for the action of diffeomorphisms and gauge symmetries. We give both the superpotential and the Kähler potential for a generic background, showing that the latter defines a natural Hitchin functional for heterotic geometries. Intriguingly, this formulation suggests new connections to geometric invariant theory and an extended notion of stability. Finally we show that the analysis of infinitesimal deformations of these geometric structures naturally reproduces the known cohomologies that count the massless moduli of supersymmetric heterotic backgrounds.

description: Vietnam has designated 3.8 million hectares of agricultural land for paddy rice production, reflecting historical and ongoing concerns about food security. However, Vietnam is now the world’s second largest exporter of rice, and it imports vast quantities of livestock feed, some of which could be produced domestically if the land area restrictions were relaxed. Rather than improving food security, this policy may in fact increase malnourishment because some groups in the population lack a diversified diet. The Government has a plan to diversify into other crops. The implications of the Government land use policy for domestic consumers and producers of food, feed and livestock products are assessed in this paper with the aid of VAST, a dynamic, eight region, 13 commodity non-linear programming model of Vietnam’s agricultural sector. The reallocation of land currently designated for rice production would allow increased production of maize and a range of vegetable crops. However, the switch into feed products sold primarily on the domestic markets puts downward pressure on producer prices. The Government should remove restrictions on land use and let producers judge for themselves what products to grow.

description: High-precision experimental measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson at $\sim 125$ GeV as well as electroweak precision observables such as the W-boson mass or the effective weak leptonic mixing angle are expected at future $e^+e^-$ colliders such as the FCC-ee. This high anticipated precision has to be matched with theory predictions for the measured quantities at the same level of accuracy. We briefly summarize the status of these predictions within the standard model and of the tools that are used for their determination. We outline how the theory predictions will have to be improved in order to reach the required accuracy, and also comment on the simulation frameworks for the Higgs and EW precision program.

Photoelastic study of dense granular free-surface flow rheology and size segregation

description: One of the biggest challenges facing experimental studies of granular rheology is the opacity of the constitutive particles, which prevents direct observations of their behaviour and interactions. This thesis describes a series of original experiments where instantaneous forces between individual particles within the bulk of 2D flows are quantified. The specific type of granular flow we study is gravity-driven, dry, and in the slow to intermediate regime. Here we describe a novel adaptation of the photoelastic technique and explain how we applied it in an original setup to offer unprecedented insight into the force distribution within granular flows, as this has never been achieved experimentally in dynamic systems before. Firstly, using particle tracking and photoelastic force measurements we report coarse-grained profiles for packing fraction, velocity, shear rate, inertial number, and stress tensor components, as well as statistical observations drawn from the measurable forces. Despite the highly fluctuating and seemingly random nature of the force network, we draw analogies between discrete and continuous flow models and characterise force chain preferential orientations. Secondly, we interpret current rheological models in the context of our experimental system, and hence propose that non-local effects may in fact be dependent on the local force network fluctuation rate. The results of this work further the community’s understanding of granular force networks and complement the physical concepts applied in current non-local rheological models. Finally, we model how differences in the force network between mono- and bi-disperse avalanching granular media lead to the mechanisms that drive granular size segregation. This work then also provides quantitative, tangible support to granular segregation models based on the physical mechanisms that drive it. As the first experimental observations of their kind, our experiments can be used to validate existing and even future theoretical and numerical research. Furthermore, the physical mechanisms proposed in this work can be used to construct future models of granular behaviour that lie beyond the scope of this particular thesis.

description: We investigate photoproduction of axial vector meson $f_1(1285)$ based on the CLAS experiment $γp\to pf_1(1285)\to pηπ^+π^-$ using the Regge model for $ρ^0+ω$ exchanges. The combined analysis of $γp\to pη'\to pηπ^+π^-$ reaction including $η(1295)$ is accompanied to evaluate the decay mode $η(1295)\to ηπ^+π^-$ from the potential overlap with the $f_1$ reaction. The predominance of $ρ^0(770)$ exchange over the $ω(782)$ with the coupling constant $γρ^0f_1$ extracted from the CLAS experiment leads to a good description of the measured cross sections for $f_1$, while the scale of the cross section is corrected by the branching fraction $η'\toηπ^+π^-$, and $f_1\toηπ^+π^-$, respectively. As an extension to study the nonmesonic production mechanism, the Primakoff effect by the virtual photon exchange is investigated in the exclusive reaction $γp\to pf_1$ up to $\sqrt{s}\approx50$ GeV, finding that it plays a similar role to the Pomeron in the vector meson photoproduction at high energies. Such an unique role of the virtual photon exchange similar to the $f_1$ case is identified up to $\sqrt{s}\approx250$ GeV in the $γp\to pπ^0$ and $γp\to pη$ as well as $γp\to pη'$ reaction.

Socio-material constructs of domestic energy demand: Household and housing practices in Pakistan

description: Domestic energy demand in the Global South is predicted to grow to nearly three times that of the developed nations by 2040, under rapid urbanisation, economic development and the emergence of a new, high-consuming middle-class. Current energy policy, with its largely technological template and economic focus fails to address the ways of living and patterns of demand that emerge and evolve as a result of the specific socio-material and cultural contexts that underpin how the need for energy arises and evolves. This research adopts a socio-technical perspective to explore various nexuses of practices and spatial arrangements of urban housing that have emerged, persisted and transformed over time, giving rise to unsustainable levels of electricity consumption in middle-class housing in Lahore, Pakistan. It further investigates how household practices fit within the wider system of housing practices and how this can inform low-energy interventions in house design and use. The research combines practice theories from the social sciences with architectural knowledge of spatial agency to explore the interlinked social and material structures that form domestic electricity demand. This is achieved through a mixed-methods approach including semi-structured interviews with homeowners and housing practitioners, cross-cultural comparative analysis, house case-studies, oral history narratives, environmental monitoring, spatiotemporal mapping of household practice-arrangements through time-use diaries as well a detailed review of archival documents relating to building regulations and house plans. The study highlights the significance of local socio-material and cultural context in everyday household practices and resulting electricity demands. It reveals that understanding the longitudinal dynamics of practice-arrangements and their diversity in cross-cultural contexts can help identify and prevent normalisation of unsustainable configurations that gradually become embedded in social structures and practices. It shows how a shift from outdoor to indoor activities, transformation from inward- to outward-oriented design and a spatial dispersion of practices have resulted in increased household electricity consumption. It further highlights the implications of cross-cultural transfer of technology and demand response strategies that are bound by local socio-cultural and material dynamics in the performance, bundling and synchronisation of practices. The study makes the connections between “good” and “bad” housing and household practices visible and identifies various energy transitions needed in housing practices that, through interventions in house design, can lead to less energy intensive household practice-arrangements.

description: Farming in coastal Bangladesh includes rice/shrimp and rice/non-rice cropping systems. The former has been highly profitable but has exacerbated salinization of soil and water. We evaluate the relative profitability, riskiness, and sustainability of the two cropping systems, using data from two coastal villages in Khulna District. Shrimp cultivation was initially very rewarding. However, over 12-15 years the cropping system experienced declining profitability, increased salinity, and adverse impacts on rice cropping and the local environment. From 2009, farmers adapted the system by changing the pond (gher) infrastructure, adopting delayed planting of a saline-tolerant rice cultivar, flushing out accumulated salt with freshwater during rice cropping, and allowing the soil to dry out after harvesting rice. The budgeting results show that, with current management practices, the rice/shrimp system is economically more viable (higher returns to land and labour and less risky) than the rice/non-rice system. Soil analyses showed that, while salinity was higher in the gher during the dry season, it was significantly reduced in the wet season and was very similar between the two systems (1-2 dS/m). Hence, as well as being more profitable and less risky, the rice/shrimp system may well be more sustainable than previously observed.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The radio source Sgr A* in the Galactic center emits a polarized spectrum at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths that is strongly suggestive of relativistic disk accretion onto a massive black hole. We use the well-constrained mass of Sgr A* and a magnetohydrodynamic model of the accretion flow to match both the total flux and polarization from this object. Our results demonstrate explicitly that the shift in the position angle of the polarization vector, seen at wavelengths near the peak of the mm to sub-mm emission from this source, is a signal of relativistic accretion flow in a strong gravitational field. We provide maps of the polarized emission to illustrate how the images of polarized intensity from the vicinity of the black hole would appear in upcoming observations with very long baseline radio interferometers (VLBI). Our results suggest that near-term VLBI observations will be able to directly image the polarized Keplerian portion of the flow near the horizon of the black hole.

description: This thesis investigates the underlying assumptions Athenians had about their laws: it seeks to ask what Athenians assumed their laws were for, and where they thought those laws got their authority. It neither answers nor seeks to answer the difficult question of how Athenian juries made decisions, but by focussing on Athenian conceptions of their laws it offers a tool for those who would study Athenian litigation and legislating. These questions are first explored through a study of the responses of the restored democracy to the remnants of the Thirty’s attempts at legislating. The various and inconsistent responses made help to frame jurisprudential questions within the actions of democratic Athens. The modern jurisprudential theory of interpretativism is used to access Athenian ideas on the principles assumed to underlie Athens’ laws, and the thesis argues that Athenians were equally likely to present arguments which rely on polis expediency as the principle underlying Athens’ laws as they were to present arguments relying on justice as that principle. The same theoretical framework is used to explore the accepted role of morality as the principle underlying Athens’ laws and the thesis argues that though morality could be used for this purpose, such uses were rare. The thesis then explores Athens’ weak enforcement of laws and weak ideal of obedience to law as law and concludes that the enforcement of morality did not form a large part of Athenians’ assumptions about what their law was supposed to achieve or from where it drew its authority. How far Athens recognised the authority of law via the authority of the person or body which made that law is then explored. Fourth-century Athenians are shown to have held ambivalent views about democratic law making and law makers, and the thesis concludes that democratic Athens’ respect for its ancient lawgivers came to affect its ability to fully realise its own institutions’ legislative authority. Finally, the thesis looks at Athenian idealised views of Spartan law to clarify the questions raised in the study of Athenians’ conceptions of their own laws.

description: Both animal and plant tissue exhibit a nonlinear rheological phenomenon known as compression stiffening, or an increase in moduli with increasing uniaxial compressive strain. Does such a phenomenon exist in single cells, which are the building blocks of tissues? One expects an individual cell to compression soften since the semiflexible biopolymer-based cytoskeletal network maintains the mechanical integrity of the cell and in vitro semiflexible biopolymer networks typically compression soften. To the contrary, we find that mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mEFs) compression stiffen under uniaxial compression via atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. To understand this finding, we uncover several potential mechanisms for compression stiffening. First, we study a single semiflexible polymer loop modeling the actomyosin cortex enclosing a viscous medium modeled as an incompressible fluid. Second, we study a two-dimensional semiflexible polymer/fiber network interspersed with area-conserving loops, which are a proxy for vesicles and fluid-based organelles. Third, we study two-dimensional fiber networks with angular-constraining crosslinks, i.e. semiflexible loops on the mesh scale. In the latter two cases, the loops act as geometric constraints on the fiber network to help stiffen it via increased angular interactions. We find that the single semiflexible polymer loop model agrees well with our AFM experiments until approximately 35% compressive strain. We also find for the fiber network with area-conserving loops model that the stress-strain curves are sensitive to the packing fraction and size distribution of the area-conserving loops, thereby creating a mechanical fingerprint across different cell types. Finally, we make comparisons between this model and experiments on fibrin networks interlaced with beads as well as discuss the tissue-scale implications of cellular compression stiffening.

description: I investigated stem cell dynamics in normal human colon by detecting somatic variants affecting X-linked and autosomal genes using immunohistochemistry. Applying neutral clonal marks to a large cohort of patients to interpret age-related trends in clone frequencies has established the baseline stem cell dynamics of the tissue. Analysis of a number of new clonal marks showing biased behaviours suggests that different gene-specific mutations can subvert constraints resulting from the tissue architecture in different ways. In respect of intra-gland competition of stem cell derived clones, a disadvantage is observed for the histone modifier HDAC6, while at the other end of the spectrum, loss of the cohesin member STAG2 strongly advantages affected stem cells. Subsequent clonal expansion beyond the boundary of a single crypt is recognised by clones occupying multi-crypt patches. Quantification of such events allows the rate of lateral expansion for different mutations to be measured. Moderate effects were found for PTEN, p53 and STAG2, while mutations in the histone demethylase KDM6A generate very large areas of mutant epithelium in aged humans. Further, targeted sequencing revealed dramatic expansion of KRAS-mutant clones in histologically normal colon. Patches may arise from crypt fission and fusion events. Using a clonal mark based on mild periodic acid-Schiff staining, the neutral crypt fission and fusion rates were quantified. Against this baseline, it was found that KDM6A-mutant clones expand mainly by fission, while fusion remains at homeostatic levels. The emerging picture is that of the aged human colon consisting of a mosaic of different mutations. The work presented in this thesis offers detailed insights into the rates at which different gene-specific mutations arising in colonic stem cells can become fixed within individual crypts and undergo subsequent lateral expansion through crypt fission and fusion events. This defines the timeframe taken for cancer drivers to achieve high mutant allele burden within the tissue, which can serve as a basis for cancer prevention strategies.

description: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are widespread and associated metabolic diseases with worldwide rising prevalence [1]. The gut hormone Oxyntomodulin induces satiety and normalizes hyperglycaemia without risk of hypoglycaemic excursions [2]. However, native incretin hormones are quickly degraded by peptidases and renally excreted, which has so far impaired pharmaceutical exploitation of anorectic and glucose-homeostatic activities [3]. It is known that many – if not all – peptides can be converted to self-assembled nanostructures [4]. Amyloid fibrils are characterized by enhanced chemical, biological and mechanic stability compared to soluble peptides, and allow a controlled release by dissociation of monomers from the fibril termini [5]. Here I propose self-assembled peptides as a prolonged-activity, self-mediated drug delivery system for subcutaneous injection of pharmaceutically active drugs. Oxyntomodulin is used as a model peptide due to previously futile attempts at finding long-acting analogues, and Oxyntomodulin’s so far unreported self-assembly behaviour. This thesis shows a method to reproducibly form subcutaneously injectable Oxyntomodulin fibrils with high conversion yield and low polydispersity, as well as methods to characterize morphology, kinetics and thermodynamics of Oxyntomodulin self-assembly. Oxyntomodulin fibrils display amyloid-like characteristics and release soluble peptide in a peptide-deprived environment. Association and dissociation kinetics and thermodynamics are sensitively dependent on salts and temperature, with an association temperature optimum at room temperature that is unique in amyloid-type self-assembly. An alternative fibril type forms under different conditions and displays altered fibrillation kinetics and thermodynamics. The specificity of fibrillation to the peptide sequence is shown in presence of Oxyntomodulin’s sister peptide glucagon and the analogue Aib-2-Oxyntomodulin. Extended release of active peptide from a subcutaneous Oxyntomodulin fibril depot has been proved in rodent studies at MedImmune [6]. As amyloid-like self-assembly is a generic feature of the peptide chain, the strategies and methods described in this project can be applied to other pharmaceutically active peptides and proteins.

A Generalized Bayesian Approach to Model Calibration

description: In model development, model calibration and validation play complementary roles toward learning reliable models. In this article, we expand the Bayesian Validation Metric framework to a general calibration and validation framework by inverting the validation mathematics into a generalized Bayesian method for model calibration and regression. We perform Bayesian regression based on a user's definition of model-data agreement. This allows for model selection on any type of data distribution, unlike Bayesian and standard regression techniques, that "fail" in some cases. We show that our tool is capable of representing and combining least squares, likelihood-based, and Bayesian calibration techniques in a single framework while being able to generalize aspects of these methods. This tool also offers new insights into the interpretation of the predictive envelopes (also known as confidence bands) while giving the analyst more control over these envelopes. We demonstrate the validity of our method by providing three numerical examples to calibrate different models, including a model for energy dissipation in lap joints under impact loading. By calibrating models with respect to the validation metrics one desires a model to ultimately pass, reliability and safety metrics may be integrated into and automatically adopted by the model in the calibration phase.

description: Thin films of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 on MgO show a metal insulator transition and colossal magnetoresistance. The shape of this transition can be explained by intrinsic spatial inhomogeneities, which give rise to a domain structure of conducting and insulating domains at the submicrometer scale. These domains then undergo a percolation transition. The tunneling conductance and tunneling gap measured by scanning tunneling spectroscopy were used to distinguish and visualize these domains.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
