description: Recent lattice QCD simulations of the scattering lengths of Nambu-Goldstone bosons off the $D$ mesons are studied using unitary chiral perturbation theory. We show that the Lattice QCD data are better described in the covariant formulation than in the heavy-meson formulation. The $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ can be dynamically generated from the coupled-channels $DK$ interaction without \textit{a priori} assumption of its existence. A new renormalization scheme is proposed which manifestly satisfies chiral power counting rules and has well-defined behavior in the infinite heavy-quark mass limit. Using this scheme we predict the heavy-quark spin and flavor symmetry counterparts of the $D^*_{s0}(2317)$.

description: In the pre- and post-clinical clerkship mentorship, students were asked to elaborate on their future self-image as professionals and compare their current and future selves to strengthen self-reflection under mentor support. Learners were aided in articulating their values and norms about medical professionalism by using Professional Identity Essay (PIE) (Kalet et al., 2017; 2018), a self-administered questionnaire with 9 questions relevant to PIF. This encouraged mentors to understand the developmental stage of each learner's professionalism and to provide individualized feedback on PIE and their future self-image. The feedback was also aimed at remediation for self-images with underdeveloped professionalism (low developmental stages in PIE). Study plans in the clinical clerkship were developed while referring to PIE-based self-images.

description: Single-cell prototype drift chambers were built at TRIUMF and tested with a $\sim\unit[210]{MeV/c}$ beam of positrons, muons, and pions. A cluster-counting technique is implemented which improves the ability to distinguish muons and pions when combined with a traditional truncated-mean charge measurement. Several cluster-counting algorithms and equipment variations are tested, all showing significant improvement when combined with the traditional method. The results show that cluster counting is a feasible option for any particle physics experiment using drift chambers for particle identification. The technique does not require electronics with an overly high sampling rate. Optimal results are found with a signal smoothing time of $\sim\unit[5]{ns}$ corresponding to a $\sim\unit[100]{MHz}$ Nyquist frequency.

description: This paper is related to nonzero-sum stochastic differential games in the Markovian framework. We show existence of a Nash equilibrium point for the game when the drift is no longer bounded and only satisfies a linear growth condition. The main tool is the notion of backward stochastic differential equations which, in our case, are multidimensional with continuous coefficient and stochastic linear growth.
The characterisation and management of workers‘ exposure to dust, endotoxin and β-(1-3) Glucan at large-scale composting facilities

Subjects: Air pollution processes and air quality measurement

description: Commercial composting is becoming more prevalent in the UK as biodegradable municipal waste is being diverted from landfill. Exposure to the organisms actively grown during the composting of waste are known to cause adverse effects on respiratory health when these organisms, or fragments of these organisms, become airborne forming a 'bioaerosol‘. The aim of this Thesis is to characterise compost workers‘ exposure levels to bioaerosols by measuring their exposure to dust, endotoxin and β-(1-3) glucan and to use this exposure data to inform the development of evidence-based risk assessment and risk mitigation measures. In general, workers‘ exposure to dust was low in the four sites studied but there was extensive variation in personal exposure levels. The inhalable fraction was found to be the predominant fraction of concern. Manual sorting and the screening of final product gave rise to high exposures to inhalable dust on occasion. Despite dust levels being generally low, workers‘ exposures to endotoxin and to a lesser extent β- (1-3) glucan were elevated and workers were exposed to levels thought to be related to respiratory symptoms and disease. Any activities involving the movement of waste resulted in elevated levels of endotoxin and β-(1-3) glucan at all four sites investigated in this study. Vehicle operators‘ exposure levels were high and a multifaceted strategy is needed to reduce exposure levels to an acceptable level. Currently, no Workplace Exposure Limits or agreed dose-response estimates exist in the UK to manage workers‘ exposure levels. Consequently the risk to worker‘s health is difficult to characterise. The COSHH Regulations require employers to reduce compost workers‘ exposure levels to bioaerosols 'so far as is reasonably practical‘. This study discusses the need for site-specific, task-specific risk assessments to be conducted and that robust risk mitigation measures are required to minimise the impact on compost workers health.

We consider gauge theory on six-dimensional space-time, which contains the $T^2/Z_N$ orbifold with magnetic flux, Scherk-Schwarz phases and Wilson line phases. We classify all the possible Scherk-Schwarz and Wilson line phases on $T^2/Z_N$ orbifolds with magnetic fluxes. The behavior of zero modes is studied. We derive the number of zero modes for each eigenvalue of the $Z_N$ twist, showing explicitly examples of wave functions. We also investigate Kaluza-Klein mode functions and mass spectra.

description: We present a procedure for tagging boosted semi-leptonic $t\bar t$ events based on the Template Overlap Method. We introduce a new formulation of the template overlap function for leptonically decaying boosted tops and show that it can be used to compensate for the loss of background rejection due to reduction of b-tagging efficiency at high $p_T$. A study of asymmetric top pair production due to higher order effects shows that our approach improves the resolution of the truth level kinematic distributions. We show that the hadronic top overlap is weakly susceptible to pileup up to 50 interactions per bunch crossing, while leptonic overlap remains impervious to pileup to at least 70 interactions. A case study of Randall-Sundrum Kaluza-Klein gluon production suggests that the new formulation of semi-leptonic template overlap can extend the projected exclusion of the LHC $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV run to Kaluza-Klein gluon masses of 2.7 TeV, using the leading order signal cross section.

description: Objectives: Longitudinal surveys are an important source of information about the health of aging populations. While there is growing concern about how participating in these studies affects participants, assessments of survey participation effects on objectively measured behaviors are scarce. Methods: We used register-linked data from the Danish component of the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, a rotating, biennial panel survey of adults aged 50+, to assess whether survey participation is associated with changes in self-reported and actual doctor’s visits. New respondents were added during the second wave, allowing us to compare doctor’s visits between groups who entered the survey at different times. Results: Age-related increases in neither self-reported nor register-recorded doctor’s visits significantly differed between the two rotating samples. Discussion: Our findings add to literature about survey participation effects, suggesting that they may not be present for either self-reported or objective measures of this important health behavior.

Valid vs. Invalid Straightlining: The Complex Relationship Between Straightlining and Data Quality
Creators: name: Reuning, Kevin
name: Plutzer, Eric
Publisher: name: Survey Research Methods
Year: 2020

description: Straightlining – the tendency to give the same response to a series of grouped questions – can be the result of satisficing respondents. As a result, many survey practitioners use straightlining as one, and sometimes the only, indicator of data quality. Respondents identified as straightliners are often removed from the data set on the assumption that their answers are meaningless. In this paper we show that these practices are based on a logical fallacy and demonstrate that in many common survey formats, the incidence of straightlining can be increased by improving the validity and the reliability of survey questions. We take initial steps in investigating the complexities and challenges of data analysis by providing a formal definition of valid straightlining and leverage that definition in a series of Monte Carlo simulations to better understand the conditions that give rise to valid straightlining. Although it remains for future work to distinguish valid from invalid straightliners, our formal definition of the concept and our simulation methods augment the tools survey analysts employ in assessing the prevalence of low effort respondents in survey data sets. The paper thereby takes initial steps toward sounder methods of classifying straightliners as optimizers or satisficers.

An Investigation into the Potential of Ceramics to Expressively Render Flesh and Skin on the Human Body
Creators: name: Mayo, Natasha
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Visual arts not elsewhere classified

description: This practice-led research considers the ways in which the emphasis of flesh and skin in figurative ceramic artworks can be understood, discussed and demonstrated in terms of aesthetic properties. It examines theoretical discourse related to the concept of expression in art and applies selected theories and principles to the evaluation of the work of contemporary artists engaging with the figure. Understandings of key principles and properties arising from these studies are applied, tested and evaluated through a studio-based investigation, within the researcher's personal art practice. The project was undertaken through interdependent strands of theory and practical studio-based investigation, comprising: a literature search and field study to identify, review and evaluate existing material; the examination of key theories and debates related to expression in art; an examination of aesthetic properties in the work of selected artists, through the conduct of case studies; and the undertaking of studio-based trials to give form to, and to test and evaluate, the principles and properties identified in the theory and case study strands. Findings from the project support the philosophical assertion that figurative artwork exists within a common bodily frame of reference, thus enabling a shared understanding of its properties. Results from the studio-based trials demonstrate how particular perceptual relationships can be created or developed to achieve specific aesthetic properties that are expressive of particular bodily states or experiences. This research has developed and examined modes of ceramic figuration which manipulate the interaction between expression, representation, surface, and form to create a range of aesthetic properties that evoke sensations of flesh and skin. The study as a whole, being an integration of theory, fieldwork and practice, demonstrates how specific qualities and emotions within a range of figurative artworks might be effectively articulated, and also demonstrates the appropriateness of the medium of ceramics to achieve this.

description: Gravity waves generated by an object moving at constant speed at the water surface form a specific pattern commonly known as the Kelvin wake. It was proved by Lord Kelvin that such a wake is delimited by a constant angle $\simeq 19.47^\circ$. However a recent study by Rabaud and Moisy based on the observation of airborne images showed that the wake angle seems to decrease as the Froude number $Fr$ increases, scaling as $Fr^{-1}$ for large Froude numbers. To explain such observations the authors make the strong hypothesis that an object of size $b$ cannot generate wavelengths larger than $b$. With no need of such an assumption and modelling the moving object by an axisymmetric pressure field, we analytically show that the angle corresponding to the maximum amplitude of the waves scales as $Fr^{-1}$ for large Froude numbers, whereas the angle delimiting the wake region outside which the surface is essentially flat remains constant and equal to the Kelvin angle for all $Fr$.

description: What have been the underlying voter shifts that led to the victory of the Con- servative Party in the 2015 British general election – against all predictions by pollsters? Analyses of voter transitions based on (online) surveys and recall ques- tions are plagued by sampling and response biases, whereas aggregate data analyses are suspect of the well-known ecological fallacy. We propose a systematic statistical combination of individual and aggregate data at the constituency level to identify regional electoral shifts between the 2010 to 2015 British general elections, with a particular focus on England. Large-scale individual data collected by the British Election Study Internet Panel (BESIP) allow us to locate more than 28,000 respon- dents in their constituencies. We estimate transitions based on a recently developed Bayesian Hierarchical Hybrid Multinomial Dirichlet (HHMD) model. We discover a clear deviance from pure RxC ecological inference and from pure online panel- based estimations of transition matrices. Convergence diagnostics corroborate the superiority of the hybrid models.

Comparing the participation of Millennials and older age cohorts in the CROss-National Online Survey panel and the German Internet Panel

description: Millennials (1982-2003) witnessed a set of events during their lives that differentiated them from older age cohorts (Generation X, Boomers, and Silents). Thus, one can also expect that Millennials’ web survey participation differs from that of older cohorts. The goal of this study is to compare Millennials to older cohorts on different aspects related to web survey participation: participation rates, break-off rates, smartphone participation, survey evaluation, and data quality. We use data from two online probability-based panels covering four countries: the CROss-National Online Survey (CRONOS) panel in Estonia, Slovenia, and the UK, and the German Internet Panel (GIP). We find significantly lower participation rate for Millennials than for older cohorts and higher break-off rate for Millennials than for older cohorts in three countries. Smartphone participation is significantly higher for Millennials than for Generation X and Boomers in three countries. Comparing Millennials and Silents, we find that Millennials smartphone participation is significantly higher in two countries. There are almost no differences in survey evaluation and data quality across age cohorts in the descriptive analyses, but some age cohort effects in regression analyses. These results suggest that it is necessary to develop new strategies to encourage Millennials’ participation in online surveys.

The Benefits of Conversational Interviewing Depend on Who Asks the Questions and the Types of Questions They Ask
Creators: name: Hubbard, Frost A

Publisher: name: Survey Research Methods
Year: 2020

description: By clarifying the meaning of survey questions, interviewers help assure that respondents and researchers interpret questions the same way. This practice is at the heart of conversational interviewing and has been shown to improve response accuracy relative to standardized interviewing. This research investigates two issues: (1) Does conversational interviewing lead to improved response quality for opinion questions as it does for factual questions? and (2) Are some interviewers better suited to conduct conversational interviews than others? 490 respondents in the University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers participated in standardized telephone interviews after which they were re-asked five factual and five opinion questions. These questions were re-administered in conversational interviews for half the respondents; for the remaining half they were re-administered in standardized interviews. Interviewers also completed a nonverbal sensitivity questionnaire. Using response change between the two administrations of each question to measure response quality, the conversational technique improved quality while increasing interview duration. The comprehension benefits of conversational interviewing were no greater for opinion than factual questions. Moreover, interviewers low in nonverbal sensitivity more often gave definitions before respondents were able to speak, but this did not affect data quality (response change). Taken together these results suggest that conversational interviewing can be effectively administered by a range of professional interviewers, although those who are more attuned to respondents' comprehension will be more efficient, and the technique will equally benefit the quality of responses to questions about objective and subjective phenomena.

description: We propose a new type of radiative seesaw model in which observed neutrino masses are generated through a three-loop level diagram in combination with tree-level type-II seesaw mechanism in a renormalizable theory. We introduce a Non-abelian flavor symmetry $T_7$ in order to constrain the form of Yukawa interactions and Higgs potential. Although several models based on a Non-abelian flavor symmetry predict the universal coupling constants among the standard model like Higgs boson and charged leptons, which is disfavored by the current LHC data, our model can avoid such a situation. We show a benchmark parameter set that is consistent with the current experimental data, and we discuss multi-muon events as a key collider signature to probe our model.

description: Motivated by the connection between 4-manifolds and 2d N=(0,2) theories, we study the dynamics of a fairly large class of 2d N=(0,2) gauge theories. We see that physics of such theories is very rich, much as the physics of 4d N=1 theories. We discover a new type of duality that is very reminiscent of the 4d Seiberg duality. Surprisingly, the new 2d duality is an operation of order three: it is IR equivalence of three different theories and, as such, is actually a triality. We also consider quiver theories and study their triality webs. Given a quiver graph, we find that supersymmetry is dynamically broken unless the ranks of the gauge groups and flavor groups satisfy stringent inequalities. In fact, for most of the graphs these inequalities have no solutions. This supports the folklore theorem that generic 2d N=(0,2) theories break supersymmetry dynamically.

description: An accelerator beam can generate low energy electrons in the beam-pipe, generally called electron cloud, that can produce instabilities in a positively charged beam. One method of measuring the electron cloud density is by coupling microwaves into and out of the beam-pipe and observing the response of the microwaves to the presence of the electron cloud. In the original technique, microwaves are transmitted through a section of beam-pipe and a change in EC density produces a change in the phase of the transmitted signal. This paper describes a variation on this technique in which the beam-pipe is resonantly excited with microwaves and the electron cloud density calculated from the change that it produces in the resonant frequency of the beam-pipe. The resonant technique has the advantage that measurements can be localized to sections of beam-pipe that are a meter or less in length with a greatly improved signal to noise ratio.

description: We suggest a generalized definition of self-organized criticality (SOC) systems: SOC is a critical state of a nonlinear energy dissipation system that is slowly and continuously driven towards a critical value of a system-wide instability threshold, producing scale-free, fractal-diffusive, and intermittent avalanches with powerlaw-like size distributions. We develop here a macroscopic description of SOC systems that provides an equivalent description of the complex microscopic fine structure, in terms of fractal-diffusive transport (FD-SOC). Quantitative values for the size distributions of SOC parameters (length scales $L$, time scales $T$, waiting times $Δt$, fluxes $F$, and energies $E$) are derived from first principles, using the scale-free probability conjecture, $N(L) dL \propto L^{-d}$, for Euclidean space dimension $d$. We apply this model to astrophysical SOC systems, such as lunar craters, the asteroid belt, Saturn ring particles, magnetospheric substorms, radiation belt electrons, solar flares, stellar flares, pulsar glitches, soft gamma-ray repeaters, black-hole objects, blazars, and cosmic rays. The FD-SOC model predicts correctly the size distributions of 8 out of these 12 astrophysical phenomena, and indicates non-standard scaling laws and measurement biases for the others.

description: Low-temperature plasma ejected in solar eruptions can screen active regions as well as quiet solar areas. Absorption phenomena can be observed in microwaves as 'negative bursts' and in different spectral domains. We analyze two very different recent events with such phenomena and present an updated systematic view of solar events associated with negative bursts. Related filament eruptions can be normal, without essential changes of shape and magnetic configuration, and 'anomalous'. The latter are characterized by disintegration of an eruptive filament and dispersal of its remnants as a cloud over a large part of solar disk. Such phenomena can be observed as giant depressions in the He II 304 A line. One of possible scenarios for an anomalous eruption is proposed in terms of reconnection of filament's internal magnetic fields with external large-scale coronal surrounding.

title: Transcending the communal paradigm : interfaith relations across multiple dimensions in Hyderabad
Creators: name: Mangiarotti, Emanuela
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: The social space of interfaith relations in India is commonly represented in the academia, the media and the everyday discourse through the paradigm of communalism. This thesis considers it an analytical and socio-political discursive space, grounded on reified religious communities and their mutual relations. Thus, similar to ethnicity and ethnic conflict, communalism tends to reproduce the discourse of Hindu vs. Muslim as a given of social relations, configuring the very conflict narrative it attempts to explain. This study proposes a shift in perspective, trying to situate the paradigm of communalism in the social space and processes in which it is articulated and that it contributes to reproduce. By relying on existing critical literature on Indian nationalism, secularism, caste and communalism and on feminist perspectives on power, conflict and identity this thesis focuses on the interconnectedness of gender and socio-economic dimensions in narratives of interfaith relations. It elaborates an argument of communalism as a discourse of domination and social polarisation, reproducing social boundaries of a majoritarian, patriarchal and socioeconomically asymmetric order and veiling social tensions over the positioning of different sections of society and relations of super/subordination among them. The conflict narrative of communalism is located within the discursive landscape of Indian colonial and post-colonial society, structuring and naturalising forms of domination and social polarisation across gender and socio-economic dimensions. By exploring the urban space of Hyderabad (Deccan), this research de constructs the conflict narrative of communalism in its different themes and articulations, conceiving of gender and socio-economic differentials as organising principles for social relations, participating in the configuration of social boundaries but also of the possibilities for transcending them. In fact, while providing a perspective on the naturalisation of relations of super/subordination through the narrative of Hindu-Muslim conflict/harmony, this study P9ints at possibilities to imagine alternatives to the dominant paradigm. Multiple tensions over forms of domination and social polarisation find expression in the discourses and practices of interfaith relations, questioning the relative positionings assigned to different sections of society within and between religious communities' boundaries. In that sense, they expose and challenge the dominant language, meaning and practice of social relations. This study aims at reflecting on conflicts as socio-political and analytical paradigms reproducing discourses of and about power. It then proposes to look within and beyond dominant conflict narratives, at the social tensions articulating possibilities for a change in the discourse and practice of social relations and their representation.

description: Recent experiments imaging fluid flow around swimming microorganisms have revealed complex time-dependent velocity fields that differ qualitatively from the stresslet flow commonly employed in theoretical descriptions of active matter. Here we obtain the most general flow around a finite sized active particle by expanding the surface stress in irreducible Cartesian tensors. This expansion, whose first term is the stresslet, must include, respectively, third-rank polar and axial tensors to minimally capture crucial features of the active oscillatory flow around translating Chlamydomonas and the active swirling flow around rotating Volvox. The representation provides explicit expressions for the irreducible symmetric, antisymmetric and isotropic parts of the continuum active stress. Antisymmetric active stresses do not conserve orbital angular momentum and our work thus shows that spin angular momentum is necessary to restore angular momentum conservation in continuum hydrodynamic descriptions of active soft matter.

Designing for playfulness: Investigating the therapeutic potential of technology

Subjects: Sociology and social studies of science and technology

description: Exploration and discovery are core components of play. For children with autism, whose needs are complex and diverse, the potential that technology affords for developmentally appropriate play is under researched. Many software programmes focus on operational routines and fail to maximise on the capricious, idiosyncratic and emergent fun that can evolve when children are relaxed and able to freely discover their interests. There are very few studies that reveal how children with autism benefit, in terms of their confidence and self esteem, when technology is utilised simply as a trigger for play and how this particularly influences emotional regulation, social communication and learning. The aim of this PhD is two-fold: to contribute to knowledge on the challenges of designing for play for children with autism and to make a contribution to research in the autism field by demonstrating the expressive communication abilities revealed by children through playful interaction with a software interface. The PhD overview critiques eight published works, which analyse and discuss the design methods, the nature of discovery-led interaction and the impact on children's play and communication. The early publications are cohered around participatory design, and how the relationships with end user populations influenced early prototypes and shaped initial evaluation. These studies paved the way for deeper investigations into the multi sensory capacities of technology in relation to the characteristics of autism. These studies furthered the contextualisation of the work by locating design in and with affordable everyday environments. The emphasis on situated-ness is understood from a philosophical perspective in the most recent and concluding studies, which draw on phenomenology for the meta-analysis of action and reaction. The final paper provides a confident argument for play as a means of exploiting the physical directness of tactile and auditory input. The studies reveal how even the most hard to engage child demonstrated creative and communicative ability beyond the expectation of his carers. The papers contribute towards an understanding of playfulness as an emergent, unpredictable and ultimately rewarding experience for children severely affected by autism. In the design field, the work represents a contribution to new knowledge in participatory and collaborative methods for developing responsive sensory interfaces for marginalised groups.

description: We compute the universal conductivity of the (2+1)-dimensional XY universality class, which is realized for a superfluid-to-Mott insulator quantum phase transition at constant density. Based on large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of the classical (2+1)-dimensional $J$-current model and the two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, we can precisely determine the conductivity on the quantum critical plateau, $σ(\infty)=0.359(4)σ_Q$ with $σ_Q$ the conductivity quantum. The universal conductivity curve is the standard example with the lowest number of components where the bottoms-up AdS/CFT correspondence from string theory can be tested and made to use [R. C. Myers, S. Sachdev, and A. Singh, Phys. Rev. D83, 066017 (2011)]. For the first time, the shape of the $σ(iω_n)- σ(\infty)$ function in the Matsubara representation is accurate enough for a conclusive comparison and establishes the particle-like nature of charge transport. We find that the holographic gauge/gravity duality theory for transport properties can be made compatible with the data if temperature of the horizon of the black brane is different from the temperature of the conformal field theory. The requirements for measuring the universal conductivity in a cold gas experiment are also determined by our calculation.

description: Cosmological local observables are at best statistically determined by the fundamental theory describing inflation. When the scalar inflaton is coupled uniformly to a collection of subdominant massless gauge vectors, rotational invariance is obeyed locally. However, the statistical isotropy of fluctuations is spontaneously broken by gauge modes whose wavelength exceed our causal horizon. This leads to a landscape picture where primordial correlators depend on the position of the observer. We compute the stochastic corrections to the curvature power spectrum, show the existence of a new local observable (the shape of the quadrupole), and constrain the theory using Planck limits.
