description: Double radio relics in galaxy clusters are rare phenomena that trace shocks in the outskirts of merging galaxy clusters. We have carried out a spectral and polarization study of the spectacular double relics in the galaxy cluster A3376 using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope at 150 and 325 MHz and the Very Large Array at 1400 MHz. The polarization study at 1400 MHz reveals a high degree of polarization (~30%) and aligned magnetic field vectors (not corrected for Faraday rotation) in the eastern relic. A highly polarized (>60%) filamentary radio source of size ~300 kpc near the eastern relic and north of the bent-jet radio galaxy is detected for the first time. The western relic is less polarized and does not show aligned magnetic field vectors. The distribution of spectral indices between 325 and 1400 MHz over the radio relics show steepening from the outer to the inner edges of the relics. The spectral indices of the eastern and the western relics imply Mach numbers in the range 2.2 to 3.3. Remarkable features such as the inward filament extending from the eastern relic, the highly polarized filament, the complex polarization properties of the western relic and the separation of the BCG from the ICM by a distance >900 kpc are noticed in the cluster. A comparison with simulated cluster mergers is required to understand the complex properties of the double relics in the context of the merger in A3376. An upper limit (log(P(1.4GHz) W/Hz < 23.0) on the strength of a Mpc size radio halo in A3376 is estimated.

description: The conductance of a contact, having a radius smaller than the Fermi wave length, on the surface of a thin metal film is investigated theoretically. It is shown that quantization of the electron energy spectrum in the film leads to a step-like dependence of differential conductance G(V) as a function of applied bias eV. The distance between neighboring steps in eV equals the energy level spacing due to size quantization. We demonstrate that a study of G(V) for both signs of the voltage maps the spectrum of energy levels above and below Fermi surface in scanning tunneling experiments.

title: The diagnosis of serious bacterial infections in the children’s emergency department
Creators: name: Irwin, Adam
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: Background Acute febrile illness is a common presentation to the children’s Emergency Department (ED). Difficulty discriminating between Serious Bacterial Infections (SBI) and self-limiting infections results in delayed treatment of SBI, and over-treatment of self-limiting infections. Aims/Objectives To define the aetiology of bacteraemia in the children’s ED, to evaluate a universal molecular diagnostic for the diagnosis of bacteraemia, and to derive and validate risk prediction models for SBI in this setting. Methods A prospective diagnostic accuracy study of clinical and biomarker variables in febrile children presenting to the ED which incorporated a case-control study evaluating 16S rRNA followed by sequencing for the diagnosis of bacteraemia. An 11 year retrospective time series analysis described the aetiology of bacteraemia presenting to the children’s ED. The study had full ethical approval. Results Time series analysis of bacteraemia presenting to the ED between 2001 and 2011 (n=575) estimated an annual 10.6% reduction in vaccine-preventable infections, and an annual 6.7% increase in Gram-negative infections. The rate of healthcare-associated bacteraemia increased from 0.18 to 0.50 per 1000 ED attendances, and the proportion of isolates susceptible to empirical antibiotics declined from 96.3% to 82.6%. Episodes of Gram-negative bacteraemia received antibiotics 1h later than episodes of vaccine-preventable bacteraemia. 1101 children were recruited to the diagnostic accuracy study. 146 children were included in an evaluation of 16S rRNA PCR in whole blood (SepsiTest) followed by sequencing for the diagnosis of bacteraemia. 120 ‘high-risk’ children were selected alongside 26 ‘low-risk’ children. SepsiTest identified 9/16 (56%) cases of bacteraemia. Combination with blood culture yielded a sensitivity of 75%, and specificity of 66%. SepsiTest identified 17/120 bloodstream infections with Viridans Group Streptococci in the high-risk group, and none in the low-risk group (p=0.06). A risk prediction model combining clinical variables with the biomarkers CRP, Procalcitonin and Resistin discriminated well between Pneumonia, ‘other SBIs’ and no SBI (AUC 0.84 and 0.77 respectively). External validation of published models was performed and improvements in classification achieved by the addition of Procalcitonin and Resistin. The addition of biomarkers had particular value in ruling-out ‘other SBIs’ (NRI for non-events 5.3%). Conclusion Serious Bacterial Infections in the children’s ED are increasingly healthcare-associated, and remain difficult to recognise. Broad-range molecular tests which are culture independent may have a role as adjuncts to conventional microbiology but require ongoing evaluation. Meanwhile, risk prediction models improve discrimination between SBI and self-limiting infections and should be tested in robust impact studies.

description: We have investigated the build up of anisotropic flows within a parton cascade approach at fixed shear viscosity to entropy density η/s to study the generation of collective flows in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. We present a study of the impact of a temperature dependent η/s(T) on the generation of the elliptic flow at both RHIC and LHC. Finally we show that the transport approach, thanks to its wide validity range, is able to describe naturally the rise - fall and saturation of the v_2(p_T) observed at LHC.

description: Total energy and electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory are performed in order to determine the atomic structure and electronic properties of clean and hydrogen‐adsorbed Al₀.₅In₀.₅P(001) surfaces. It is found that most of the stable surfaces obey the electron‐counting rule and are characterized by surface atom dimerization. The dimer‐related surface states are predicted to occur in the vicinity of the bulk band edges. For a very narrow range of preparation conditions, ab initio thermodynamics predicts metal atomic wires formed by surface cations. A surface covered with a monolayer of buckled phosphorus dimers, where half of the phosphorus atoms are hydrogen saturated, is found to be stable for metal–organic vapor‐phase epitaxy growth conditions. The occurrence of this structure is confirmed by low‐energy electron diffraction and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy data measured on epitaxially grown Al₀.₅₂In₀.₄₈P(001) epilayers lattice matched to GaAs.
title: 'Out of the Quarrel with Others': the Conflict between Self and Community in Modern Irish Writing
Creators: name: Mitchell, Brendan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examines how the literature of W.B. Yeats and James Joyce influenced the writings of Liam O’Flaherty, Patrick Kavanagh and John McGahern. The primary purpose of this research is to question what motivates these individual writers and how great art universally illustrates a fundamental quarrel between self and community. The thesis considers the personal experiences and literary influences on each of the selected writers, examining how the great diversity of literature in twentieth-century Ireland was shaped by events both within and outside of the country. Although the writers in this study are open to various theoretical readings, this dissertation does not confine itself to one particular methodology. The main concern is with how each individual artist in a given text interprets his own self and community, analysing how the art form helps modern readers to understand the many historical and cultural processes at work in Irish literature and society.

title: The economic impact of climate change and climatic variability on agriculture in Northeast Thailand
Creators: name: Saiyut, Jarinya
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: The main aim of this thesis is to assess the economic impact of climate change and climatic variability on agriculture in Northeast (NE) Thailand. Climate change is a slow and complex phenomenon. Therefore, decision-making in climate change context involves long-time scales and that have led uncertainties associated with many risks. To assess the impact of climate change in agriculture as well as supporting long-term adaptation planning, long-term climate change scenarios are required. This study achieved this requirement by developing long-term climate change scenarios for NE Thailand under the SRES A2 and B2 climate change scenarios for 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s based upon data from the SEA START RC. One of the more significant findings to emerge from this study is that the assessment of climate change impacts on NE Thailand agriculture through a careful consideration of spatial issues in the Ricardian framework that this study has undertaken would be useful in providing a more accurate picture of the potential impacts of climate change on farmer income in NE Thailand. By the end of the 21st century (2080s), NE Thailand farmers of 62 sub-districts in 8 provinces are expected to experience the severe impact of climate change. A full implementation of the key planned adaptation, the IWRM, would therefore be required to alleviate the risk to climate change in NE Thailand agricultural sector.
title: A comparative study of analysis methods in quantitative label free proteomics
Creators: name: Mackay, Katherine
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: The large amounts of data generated by modern proteomics experiments necessitates the use of software pipelines to conduct the bulk of the post-processing. While many software packages (both commercial and open-source) are available to perform some or all of the necessary post-processing steps, it is usual for each research group to use only the instrumentation and software packages with which they are most familiar and/or which are available to analyse their unknown data. The intention of the studies presented within this thesis was to assess the correlation between the experimental results obtained when; - a single result dataset is obtained and post-processed in parallel using four separate software pipelines - a single sample is analysed on two different mass spectrometers and post-processed in parallel and; - when different identification thresholds are applied to a dataset prior to parallel quantitation of the resultant data sets Correlation between different mass spectrometry instruments was assessed and found to yield high r values, especially at the protein level, and was also found to improve following the application of abundance thresholds, however the result of applying score thresholds was unpredictable. The use of manual FDR thresholds prior to importing data into Progenesis LC-MS yielded interesting results, which suggest that a threshold of 1% peptide FDR and 1 or 2% protein FDR is most effective in terms of yielding accurate ratios while maintaining acceptable sensitivity. In addition, a consensus method is suggested to utilise the results from multiple software pipelines in order to increase sensitivity and reduce the FDR, through the use of the QPROT tool and manual post-processing.

title: Lewis Theobald's double falsehood : The authorship question reconsidered
Creators: name: Alotaibi, Naseem
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: This thesis offers a response to the recent publication of Lewis Theobald’s Double Falshood 1 (1728) in the Arden Shakespeare series (2010). It questions Shakespeare’s involvement in Double Falsehood’s source play, and presents a number of factors suggesting that Fletcher is possibly its prime (if not its sole) author. This study also addresses other problems relating to Shakespeare’s supposed authorship of the play, including Theobald’s unreliability, which casts doubt on his claims for Shakespeare having any hand in the play: i.e., his plagiarism of other people’s work, and his obsessive imitation of Shakespeare. Because there has been to date no scholarly work dedicated to highlighting Theobald’s contributions to the play, this thesis aims to address this significant gap in scholarship. It does so by examining recent approaches to determining the authorship of Double Falsehood, highlighting the limitations of both stylometric analysis and the use of electronic databases—such as LION—in authorship studies. By identifying such limitations, and by building on recent theories in attribution scholarship, this thesis proposes a new methodology for determining the authorship of the play: one that focuses on locating much longer verbal parallels within Theobald’s other works, rather than counting the frequency of individual words to establish probable attribution. While this thesis criticises the Arden edition for its preoccupation with establishing Shakespeare-Fletcher connections to the play, it shows that the most distinctive parallels can be found in the works of Theobald, as evident in instances of three, four, five, and six consecutive-word parallels, all of which have been overlooked by the Arden editor Brean Hammond. Finally, the thesis addresses the editorial approach Hammond employs in the Arden edition of Double Falsehood, focusing on the question of the textual presentation of adaptations. An investigation of the methodology applied by John Jowett in editing Measure for Measure for the Oxford Middleton (2007) facilitates here a solution to the problem of editing adaptations, one that is not emphasised by Hammond. This approach highlights the significance of presenting the process of adaptation within the edited text itself by utilizing the text’s typography in a way that highlights the different layers of the adapted text: showing, that is, what is presumed to be the original text versus the adapted text. Such an apparatus not only highlights the elements of adaptation in the text, but it also dislocates Double Falsehood from the Shakespeare canon (which is clearly a key purpose behind the publication of the Arden edition), positioning it instead within the more accurate authorial arena of the Shakespeare Apocrypha.

description: We present new [SII] images of the HH 30 jet and counterjet observed in 2006, 2007, and 2010 that allowed us to measure with improved accuracy the positions and proper motions of the jet and counterjet knots. Our results show that the motion of the knots is essentially ballistic, with the exception of the farthest knots, which trace the large scale C-shape bending of the jet. The observed bending of the jet can be produced by a relative motion of the HH 30 star with respect to its surrounding environment, caused either by a possible proper motion of the HH 30 star, or by the entrainment of environment gas by the red lobe of the nearby L1551-IRS 5 outflow. Alternatively, the bending can be produced by the stellar wind from a nearby CTTS, identified in the 2MASS catalog. The proper motion velocities of the knots of the counterjet show more variations than those of the jet. In particular, we identify two knots of the counterjet that have the same kinematic age but whose velocities differ by almost a factor of two. Thus, it appears that counterjet knots launched simultaneously can be ejected with very different velocities. We confirm that the observed wiggling of the jet and counterjet arises from the orbital motion of the jet source in a binary system. Precession is of secondary importance in shaping the jet. We derive an orbital period $τ_o=114\pm2$ yr and a mass function $mμ_c^3=0.014\pm0.006$ $M_\odot$. For a mass of the system of $m=0.45\pm0.04$ $M_\odot$ (the value inferred from the disk kinematics) we obtain a mass $m_j=0.31\pm0.04$ $M_\odot$ for the jet source, a mass $m_c=0.14\pm0.03$ $M_\odot$ for the companion, and a binary separation of $a=18.0\pm0.6$ AU. This binary separation coincides with the value required to account for the size of the inner hole observed in the disk, attributed to tidal truncation in a binary system.

description: We develop a framework for constructing mixed multiscale finite volume methods for elliptic equations with multiple scales arising from flows in porous media. Some of the methods developed using the framework are already known \cite{jennylt03}; others are new. New insight is gained for the known methods and extra flexibility is provided by the new methods. We give as an example a mixed MsFV on uniform mesh in 2-D. This method uses novel multiscale velocity basis functions that are suited for using global information, which is often needed to improve the accuracy of the multiscale simulations in the case of continuum scales with strong non-local features. The method efficiently captures the small effects on a coarse grid. We analyze the new mixed MsFV and apply it to solve two-phase flow equations in heterogeneous porous media. Numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method for modeling the flows in porous media with non-separable and separable scales.

description: We calculate the running of the quark mass and the quark condensate using a dynamical soft-wall model by Csaki and Reece. We show that a correct running can be obtained with an appropriate sign for the dilaton field. In the soft-wall model with quadratic dilaton profile, a wrong sign for the dilaton field can give rise to a massless vector meson, a signature of spontaneously broken symmetry in the vector sector, which is not observed in nature. With a right parameter range, we obtain no such massless vector meson. We also find that, contrary to the soft-wall model with quadratic dilaton profile, the model allows a non-vanishing quark condensate in the chiral limit. We obtain the vector meson mass spectrum similar to that of the hard-wall model. By varying a parameter in the model we can fit the running of the quark mass and of the quark condensate.

This last fact is explicitly discussed comparing different approaches to deal with the Nair-Polychronakos oscillator.

description: The increasing use of oxide glasses in high‐tech applications illustrates the demand of novel engineering techniques on nano‐ and microscale. Due to the high viscosity of oxide glasses at room temperature, shaping operations are usually performed at temperatures close or beyond the point of glass transition Tg. Those treatments, however, are global and affect the whole component. It is known from the literature that electron irradiation facilitates the viscous flow of amorphous silica near room temperature for nanoscale components. At the micrometer scale, however, a comprehensive study on this topic is still pending. In the present study, electron irradiation inducing viscous flow at room temperature is observed using a micropillar compression approach and amorphous silica as a model system. A comparison to high temperature yielding up to a temperature of 1100 °C demonstrates that even moderate electron irradiation resembles the mechanical response of 600 °C and beyond. As an extreme case, a yield strength as low as 300 MPa is observed with a viscosity indicating that Tg has been passed. Those results show that electron irradiation‐facilitated viscous flow is not limited to the nanoscale which offers great potential for local microengineering.

description: Over the last years, superconductivity has been discovered in several families of iron-based compounds. Despite intense research, even basic electronic properties of these materials, such as Fermi surfaces, effective electron masses, or orbital characters are still subject to debate. Here, we address an issue that has not been considered before, namely the consequences of dynamical screening of the Coulomb interactions among Fe-d electrons. We demonstrate its importance not only for correlation satellites seen in photoemission spectroscopy, but also for the low-energy electronic structure. From our analysis of the normal phase of BaFe2As2 emerges the picture of a strongly correlated compound with strongly doping- and temperature-dependent properties. In the hole overdoped regime, an incoherent metal is found, while Fermi-liquid behavior is recovered in the undoped compound. At optimal doping, the self-energy exhibits an unusual square-root energy dependence which leads to strong band renormalizations near the Fermi level.

description: The present article describes the size induced changes in the structural arrangement of intrinsic defects present in chemically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles of various sizes. Routine X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) have been performed to determine the shapes and sizes of the nanocrystalline ZnO samples. Detailed studies using positron annihilation spectroscopy reveals the presence of zinc vacancy. Whereas analysis of photoluminescence results predict the signature of charged oxygen vacancies. The size induced changes in positron parameters as well as the photoluminescence properties, has shown contrasting or non-monotonous trends as size varies from 4 nm to 85 nm. Small spherical particles below a critical size (~ 23 nm) receive more positive surface charge due to the higher occupancy of the doubly charge oxygen vacancy as compared to the bigger nanostructures where singly charged oxygen vacancy predominates. This electronic alteration has been seen to trigger yet another interesting phenomenon, described as positron confinement inside nanoparticles. Finally, based on all the results, a model of the structural arrangement of the intrinsic defects in the present samples has been reconciled.
title: Values alignment in voluntary and community sector organizations
Creators: name: Harding, Steve
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2017

description: Introduction: - The study investigates values alignment process of leaders and employees and how alignment may support organizational development initiatives. The research has been carried out in two Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organizations in the North-West of the England. Literature: - The study identified an opportunity to research several domains within business management. Although, there have been informal associations between the various fields of leadership, organizational development and values, little research has specifically worked across the three domains, within the community and voluntary sector. Methodology: - The research took a Social Constructivism, philosophical perspective, which resulted in a Grounded Theory methodology being proposed. In order to meet the challenges of working with a Grounded Theory methodology, the research implemented a spiral approach as recommended by Berg (2007). This ensured a reflective approach to the research ideas and concepts, revisiting theory as it emerges from the data. Emerging Ideas and Concepts: - The study identified several organizational values processes, which supported operational values delivery and service development. This included Person Centred Organization, Organizational Alignment Model, which collectively merged into a Values Alignment Voluntary and Community Sector Service Model. The service model provided some theoretical ideas around alignment of values and organizational development. The collective ideas of the model resulted in the study proposing the Organizational Values Matrix, which incorporates values based themes and organizational areas which underpin or support values ideas within an organizational context. Discussion: - The discussion recognised the need for more humanistic perspectives in organizational development initiatives, which the current research indicates the models proposed do take into consideration. Furthermore, the research identified the human element missing from the previous values concepts proposed by literature which appear to take a ‘hard’ values approach, focused on the systems rather than one which recognise the staff and leader interrelationships on organizational values. Conclusion: - The study has proposed the Organizational Values Matrix as a framework which enables leaders to take a planned approach, appreciating the internal capacity of understanding values, linking various components within the organization whilst recognising the impact on actions and experiences. The study recognised the need for further research around the values interrelationships which take place within the models and framework proposed through the research.

description: We have calculated on the computer the sum $\bar{\BB}_M$ of reciprocals of all 47 known Mersenne primes with the accuracy of over 12000000 decimal digits. Next we developed $\bar{\BB}_M$ into the continued fraction and calculated geometrical means of the partial denominators of the continued fraction expansion of $\bar{\BB}_M$. We get values converging to the Khinchin's constant. Next we calculated the $n$-th square roots of the denominators of the $n$-th convergents of these continued fractions obtaining values approaching the Khinchin-L{è}vy constant. These two results suggests that the sum of reciprocals of all Mersenne primes is irrational, supporting the common believe that there is an infinity of the Mersenne primes. For comparison we have done the same procedures with slightly modified set of 47 numbers obtaining quite different results. Next we investigated the continued fraction whose partial quotients are Mersenne primes and we argue that it should be transcendental.

By using the Kelvin's method of the shearing modes we elucidate the role of the initial perturbations of the electron density, which is connected with problem of the continuous spectrum. The linear non-modal evolution process, detected by the solution of the initial value problem, leads towards convergence to the phase-locking configuration of the mutually growing normal modes.

description: Neutrino production of radio Cherenkov signals in the Moon is the object of radio telescope observations. Depending on the energy range and detection parameters, the dominant contribution to the neutrino signal may come from interactions of the neutrino on the Moon facing the telescope, rather than neutrinos that have traversed a portion of the Moon. Using the approximate analytic expression of the effective lunar aperture from a recent paper by Gayley, Mutel and Jaeger, we evaluate the background from cosmic ray interactions in the lunar regolith. We also consider the modifications to the effective lunar aperture from generic non-standard model neutrino interactions. A background to neutrino signals are radio Cherenkov signals from cosmic ray interactions. For cosmogenic neutrino fluxes, neutrino signals will be difficult to observe because of low neutrino flux at the high energy end and large cosmic ray background in the lower energy range considered here. We show that lunar radio detection of neutrino interactions is best suited to constrain or measure neutrinos from astrophysical sources and probe non-standard neutrino-nucleon interactions such as microscopic black hole production.

description: We consider the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation driven by mollified space-time white noise. We show that, as the mollifier is removed, the solutions converge weakly to 0, independently of the initial condition. If the intensity of the noise simultaneously converges to 0 at a sufficiently fast rate, then the solutions converge to those of the deterministic equation. At the critical rate, the limiting solution is still deterministic, but it exhibits an additional damping term.

Bodies in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene: the Gestalt of male subjectivity and female subjection

description: Bibliography: p. 115-124.
description: This thesis interrogates the constitution of male "subjectivity" in its historical context between its subsumption by medieval discourses that reify corporate experience and the emergence of late Renaissance "individuality." The Faerie Queene, acutely aware of the inversion of gender power relations in its epideictic project, participates in the conceptual accrual of male subjective agency. The process is one in which the need to contain and shape representations of Elizabeth as a woman also reveals the radical operations by which male "subjectivity" is gained. A Neoplatonic gestalt suffused with Gnostic and Pauline abjection of the body natural at one pole and an ineffable realm evocative of the Platonic "idea" and Christian God at the other becomes the underlying structure by which gender representations come to shape ascendant subjective masculinity through the denunciation and subjection of femaleness.

Gifted children and their non-gifted siblings: self-concepts and sibling relationships

description: Self-concepts and sibling relationships were examined in 80 elementary school students: 20 academically gifted children; 20 non-gifted siblings and; 40 control students utilizing the Self Perception Profile for Children (Harter, 1985) and the Sibling Relationships Questionnaire (Furman & Buhrmester, 1985). The study was predominantly exploratory in nature with two main purposes: to assess group differences in self-concepts and global self-esteem and; to explore group differences in perceptions of the sibling relationships. Gifted children were found to report greater Scholastic Competence and Global Self-Esteem compared to all groups, but reported poorer Athletic Competence than did their peers. Non-gifted siblings were found to report poorer Global Self-Esteem than their peers. Gifted children reported greater conflict within their sibling relationships and their non-gifted siblings reported less companionship compared to the control sibling dyads. Findings are discussed within the theoretical framework of labeling theory, Tesser's ( 1980) Self-Esteem Maintenance Model and Social Comparison Theory.

description: Nuclear-medium effects in the weak structure functions $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and $F_3(x,Q^2)$ in the charged current neutrino and antineutrino induced deep inelastic reactions in $^{208}$Pb have been studied. The calculations have been performed in a theoretical model using relativistic nuclear spectral functions which incorporate Fermi motion, binding and nucleon correlations. We also consider the pion and rho meson cloud contributions calculated from a microscopic model for meson-nucleus self-energies. Using these structure functions, the results for the differential cross section have been obtained and compared with the CERN Hybrid Oscillation Research apparatUS (CHORUS) data. The results for the ratios $\frac{2F_{i}^{Pb}}{208F_i^D}$, $\frac{4F_{i}^{Pb}}{208F_i^{He}}$, $\frac{12F_{i}^{Pb}}{208F_i^C}$, $\frac{16F_{i}^{Pb}}{208F_i^O}$, and $\frac{56F_{i}^{Pb}}{208F_i^{Fe}}$ (i=2,3) have also been obtained and a few have been compared with some of the phenomenological fits.

Migration and education in the Global South: a study of South American origin children in the Argentinean educational system (2010)
Creators: name: Zuccotti, Carolina V.
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The question of how the children of migrants compare to natives in destination countries has long occupied the research agenda of migration and integration scholars. But, while there are many studies that have explored this issue in the Global North, with special attention to South-North migrants, little is known about integration patterns of South-South migrants, that is, Southern migrants and their children residing in the Global South. This article addresses this concern by studying one of the key indicators of migrant integration—the educational achievement of the children of migrants—in one of the most popular migration corridors in the Global South—that of South Americans who emigrated to Argentina. Using census microdata from 2010, the article explores the educational attainment and educational reproduction of Bolivian-, Paraguayan-, Peruvian- and Chilean-origin children in comparison with that of their 'native' Argentine counterparts. The analysis distinguishes between 1.5 and second-generation children and focuses on young people between 6 and 21 years old who live with at least one parent. Two dimensions of educational attainment are explored: school attendance and educational level. The results show that the role of parental education tends to be weaker among migrant-origin groups. This has implications for the educational gap. In general, migrant-origin groups are advantaged over 'native' Argentines among those who have parents with low educational levels. Conversely, they present no differences or are disadvantaged among those with parents of medium-high educational levels. This is observed for both 1.5 and second-generations. Possible explanations are offered.

description: We report a theoretical scheme using a B-spline basis set to improve the poor computational accuracy of circular Rydberg states of hydrogen atoms in the intermediate magnetic field. This scheme can produce high accuracy energy levels and valid for an arbitrary magnetic field. Energy levels of hydrogen are presented for circular Rydberg states with azimuthal quantum numbers $|m|$ = 10 - 70 as a function of magnetic field strengths ranging from zero to 2.35 $\times$ 10$^9$ T. The variation of spatial distributions of electron probability densities with magnetic field strengths is discussed and competition between Coulomb and magnetic interactions is illustrated.
