description: Sociology is the field that studies individuals, society, social institutions, and behavior. While this sociology contains various ideas, social change is also seen as an important issue. Social change refers to change in culture, behavior, social institutions and social structure. In this way, this research paper clarifies the evolution of society and social change along with the theoretical thoughts of Classical sociologists such as Auguste Comte, Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer and Emile Durkheim. In the theoretical view of Classical sociologists, it is clear that the society has passed through many stages of development and that development has caused social change. It is significant that the theoretical thoughts of the early Classical sociologists have been instrumental in the development of today's modern era and its transformation. Classical Sociologists's theories of social change have different stages of development. How society evolves and undergoes change at each stage, and how society, culture, customs, ethics, values, behavior of individuals, and the trend of social institutions are shaped at each stage by classical sociologists such as Auguste Comte, Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer and Emile Durkheim. This review also analyses theories of social change.

description: In dissimilar brazing, the differences in physical properties between the components lead to residual stresses. An active filler alloy Cu-20.5Sn-20Ag-3.5Ti was developed to braze the Cu-Al2O3 composites (containing 25 and 50 volume pct. Al2O3) to copper. Two mechanisms were proposed for chemical bonding as a result of alumina reinforcements reduction by the active titanium, including the formation of Ti3(Cu,Al,Sn)3O layer beside the Ti2O in Cu/Cu-25%Al2O3 joints; and the solidification of Ti3(Cu,Al,Sn)3O in the vicinity of TiO layer/Cu4Ti islands in the Cu/Cu-50%Al2O3 joints. Some intermetallic compounds such as Cu3Ti2 and Cu41Sn11 are formed/coarsened with an extra increase in brazing temperature. An increase in brazing time improves the thickness of the TiOx layer with no sensible effect on Ti3(Cu,Al,Sn)3O width.

description: Micromobility devices, such as e-scooters and delivery robots, hold promise for eco-friendly and cost-effective alternatives for future urban transportation. However, their lack of societal acceptance remains a challenge. Therefore, we must consider ways to promote prosocial behavior in micromobility interactions. We investigate how post-ride feedback can encourage the prosocial behavior of e-scooter riders while interacting with sidewalk users, including pedestrians and delivery robots. Using a web-based platform, we measure the prosocial behavior of e-scooter riders. Results found that post-ride feedback can successfully promote prosocial behavior, and objective measures indicated better gap behavior, lower speeds at interaction, and longer stopping time around other sidewalk actors. The findings of this study demonstrate the efficacy of post-ride feedback and provide a step toward designing methodologies to improve the prosocial behavior of mobility users.

title: Robert Louis Stevenson: The Mediation of Literary Reputation and the Advent of Modernism
Creators: name: Milne, Duncan
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis seeks to place Robert Louis Stevenson as an important contributor to the emergence of Modernism. In exploring this, the thesis suggests that Stevenson’s contribution to literary Modernism has frequently been overlooked due to several critical factors. Foremost amongst these is the issue of mediation. The thesis will discuss how Stevenson’s posthumous reputation was constructed and reorientated by figures unsympathetic to his commitment to stylistic innovation. The figures so discussed include Stevenson’s literary editor Sidney Colvin and his immediate family, particularly Fanny Van De Grift Stevenson. The thesis also draws attention to the disproportionate influence individuals who were otherwise peripheral to Stevenson’s life had in defining his reputation after his death – Lord Charles Guthrie being first among these.

Countering the image propagated by these earliest advocates, this thesis will demonstrate that far from being a conservative writer, Stevenson was a self-reflexive and innovative author, with a developed sense of the need to consciously develop a literary style. Through detailed analysis of individual texts (principally The Master of Ballantrae, The Wrecker and The Ebb-Tide) in a manner alert to this, the central thread of the thesis’s argument will be developed.

Stevenson’s work will be contextualised in terms of the genres from which it developed and which were dominant in the literary culture at the time he was writing. By doing so the thesis suggests that Stevenson reframed the norms of both Realism and Romance in order to innovate a new style which was reflective, critical of dominant discourse, and – crucially – anticipative of future forms.

Reflecting on the extent to which the early mediation of Stevenson’s image and work defined his critical reception in much of the twentieth-century the thesis will close by considering the significance of new forms of mediation and reflecting on how these will influence the perception of Stevenson’s work in the remainder of the century.

description: Methylammonium lead iodide perovskite has attracted intensive interest for its diverse optoelectronic applications. However, most studies to date have been limited to bulk thin films that are difficult to implement for integrated device arrays because of their incompatibility with typical lithography processes. We report the first patterned growth of regular arrays of perovskite microplate crystals for functional electronics and optoelectronics. We show that large arrays of lead iodide microplates can be grown from an aqueous solution through a seeded growth process and can be further intercalated with methylammonium iodide to produce perovskite crystals. Structural and optical characterizations demonstrate that the resulting materials display excellent crystalline quality and optical properties. We further show that perovskite crystals can be selectively grown on prepatterned electrode arrays to create independently addressable photodetector arrays and functional field effect transistors. The ability to grow perovskite microplates and to precisely place them at specific locations offers a new material platform for the fundamental investigation of the electronic and optical properties of perovskite materials and opens a pathway for integrated electronic and optoelectronic systems.

description: For a fixed degree sequence $\mathcal{D}=(d_1,...,d_n)$, let $G(\mathcal{D})$ be a uniformly chosen (simple) graph on $\{1,...,n\}$ where the vertex $i$ has degree $d_i$. In this paper we determine whether $G(\mathcal{D})$ has a giant component with high probability, essentially imposing no conditions on $\mathcal{D}$. We simply insist that the sum of the degrees in $\mathcal{D}$ which are not 2 is at least $λ(n)$ for some function $λ$ going to infinity with $n$. This is a relatively minor technical condition, and when $\mathcal{D}$ does not satisfy it, both the probability that $G(\mathcal{D})$ has a giant component and the probability that $G(\mathcal{D})$ has no giant component are bounded away from $1$.

title: Photovoltaic challenges and recommendations - A case study for Oman
Creators: name: Honnurvali, Mohamed Shaik
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University

description: Concerning the growth of renewables witnessed globally in the past decade and its key benefits to society many countries are placing themselves with an ambitious target to increase the share of renewables in overall energy production. Sultanate of Oman, a country having clear sky irradiances of 3000-5000 W/m2 almost during the whole year has great potential to meet the country’s energy demand through PV systems with an ambitious target of achieving 30% of the energy generation through renewable sources by the year 2030. The performance and reliability of the PV modules over the long run become key factors in estimating the accurate return on investments. A case study has been conducted on 130 PV modules that have been installed in Oman under different climatic zones to understand, and thoroughly investigate the performance, degradation, and factors causing it. The overall degradation rate is 1.96 %/year for all the PV modules. Distribution of PV degradation rates age-wise shown 1.33%/year for 0-2 yrs and 2.19%/year for 2->4 years. Encapsulant discoloration has been seen in aged PV modules in all the climate zones with an average percentage of 93%. Likewise, delamination is observed in aged PV modules in all the climate zones with an average percentage of 74%. Based on the climate zone wise hot and dry, hot and humid zones (averaging more than 1.7%/year) have shown higher degradation rates than the moderate zone. By PV technology type mono and multi-crystalline silicon PV modules have shown high degradation rates (Average of more than 1.8%/year) than thin film technologies like a- Si and CdTe (<1%/year). Interconnect breakages are high in the hot and humid zone with an average of 39% of modules affected for all ages. Lower PV size modules have seen an average degradation rate of 1.82%/year which is less than the higher PV modules size whose average degradation rate is 2.52%/year. Roof-based installations have seen an average degradation rate of 2.93%/year while ground-based installations with an average of 1.34%/year. Considering the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, an attempt is made in this research work to develop a simulation model that can anticipate the PV degradation rates based on the visual and electrical parameters. The simulated I-V and P-V curves from such a developed mathematical model have shown good preliminary results with an error percentage of less than 4% for the first modelled equation.

description: Medicines and pesticides are being used excessively, misused, or abused in recent times, resulting in major environmental contamination and, more specifically, water pollution. Remediation of these anthropogenic wastes in ambient water holds the key to mitigating their bioaccumulation and the subsequent negative health impacts. To address this, here, we present a novel stable cationic metal–organic framework (MOF), [Cd(L)2(ClO4)2·xG]n (L = 1,1′-(5′-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) phenyl)-[1,1′:3′,1″-terphenyl]-4,4″-diyl) bis(1H-imidazole); G = guest molecules), abbreviated as iMOF-14C (iMOF = ionic MOF; C = cationic). Composed of Cd(II), perchlorate and an imidazole ligand L, iMOF-14C exhibits selective photoluminescence (PL) quenching towards detecting a specific spectrum of antibiotics and pesticides from the contaminated water. It is also responsive to some nitro-functionalised toxins, viz. nitrofuran antibiotics, such as nitrofurazone (NFZ) and nitrofurantoin (NFT), as well as pesticides, including nitrofen(an herbicide) and chloropyriphos (CHPS). iMOF-14C presents high selectivity towards these target analytes even in the presence of other interfering antibiotics and pesticides, and it reveals a turn-off PL response towards trace levels of NFT and NFZ, with detection limits as low as 100 ppb and 20 ppb, respectively. Furthermore, it detects CHPS and nitrofen at 50 ppb and 250 ppb, respectively, i.e., among all porous solids, iMOF-14C stands out with record-high pesticide sensing performance. Upon hybridising iMOF-14C with low-cost polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), the composite membrane iMOF-14C@PVDF overcomes processability issues oft-encountered with MOF powders while also exhibiting efficient sensing of antibiotics in water

description: We consider events over the probability space generated by the degree sequences of multiple independent Erdős-Rényi random graphs, and consider an approximation probability space where such degree sequences are deemed to be sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We show that, for any sequence of events with probabilities asymptotically smaller than some power law in the approximation model, the same upper bound also holds in the original model. We accomplish this by extending an approximation framework proposed in a seminal paper by McKay and Wormald. Finally, as an example, we apply the developed framework to bound the probability of isomorphism-related events over multiple independent random graphs.

description: Supernova (SN) Refsdal is the first multiply-imaged, highly-magnified, and spatially-resolved SN ever observed. The SN exploded in a highly-magnified spiral galaxy at z=1.49 behind the Frontier Fields Cluster MACS1149, and provides a unique opportunity to study the environment of SNe at high z. We exploit the time delay between multiple images to determine the properties of the SN and its environment, before, during, and after the SN exploded. We use the integral-field spectrograph MUSE on the VLT to simultaneously target all observed and model-predicted positions of SN Refsdal. We find MgII emission at all positions of SN Refsdal, accompanied by weak FeII* emission at two positions. The measured ratios of [OII] to MgII emission of 10-20 indicate a high degree of ionization with low metallicity. Because the same high degree of ionization is found in all images, and our spatial resolution is too coarse to resolve the region of influence of SN Refsdal, we conclude that this high degree of ionization has been produced by previous SNe or a young and hot stellar population. We find no variability of the [OII] line over a period of 57 days. This suggests that there is no variation in the [OII] luminosity of the SN over this period, or that the SN has a small contribution to the integrated [OII] emission over the scale resolved by our observations.

Collection Closed: Opinion and Practice in Processing Sensitive Materials

description: Since the 2005 publication of the Meissner and Greene article "More Product, Less  Process," light processing has become an ever increasing topic of conversation. One area  of light processing that is seeing increased discussion, is the debate surrounding privacy.  The concern is that by processing materials in the aggregate, the potential to miss  sensitive materials is great. This is a situation that creates more than a few questions  about privacy and placement of responsibility for protecting privacy, many of which arise  while processing a collection. What is an institution legally required to restrict? What are  their ethical requirements? Is the burden to protect privacy on the donor, the repository,  the researcher, or some combination of the three? This study looks at some of the  questions surrounding these issues through interviews with processing archivists.
Variational formulation of relaxed and multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamics

description: Ideal magnetohydrodynamics (IMHD) is strongly constrained by an infinite number of microscopic constraints expressing mass, entropy and magnetic flux conservation in each infinitesimal fluid element, the latter preventing magnetic reconnection. By contrast, in the Taylor relaxation model for formation of macroscopically self-organized plasma equilibrium states, all these constraints are relaxed save for global magnetic fluxes and helicity. A Lagrangian variational principle is presented that leads to a new, fully dynamical, \emph{relaxed magnetohydrodynamics} (RxMHD), such that all static solutions are Taylor states but also allows flow. By postulating that some long-lived macroscopic current sheets can act as barriers to relaxation, separating the plasma into multiple relaxation regions, a further generalization, \emph{multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamics} (MRxMHD) is developed.

Special collections

description: This exploratory study discusses the perceptions of faculty, library staff, and students involved in special collections instruction sessions. Students completed surveys in four sessions of three different classes visiting the collections, and the faculty teaching the courses were interviewed about the sessions. Library staff members were also interviewed about their current and past practices in instruction. Surveys revealed that most students felt competent to begin their research after their sessions, but many students also desired further information about how to approach the collections and in the case of one class, a closer connection to their research projects. Staff members and faculty felt that hands-on activities for students during visits were very important, reflecting the move toward active learning principles in the literature on special collections instruction. The specific challenges faced by assessment programs in special collections are discussed, as well as recommendations for future projects.
A physical model for the [CII]-FIR deficit in luminous galaxies

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Observations of ionised carbon at 158 micron ([CII]) from luminous star-forming galaxies at z~0 show that their ratios of [CII] to far infrared (FIR) luminosity are systematically lower than those of more modestly star-forming galaxies. In this paper, we provide a theory for the origin of this so called "[CII] deficit" in galaxies. Our model treats the interstellar medium as a collection of clouds with radially-stratified chemical and thermal properties, which are dictated by the clouds' volume and surface densities, as well as the interstellar radiation and cosmic ray fields to which they are exposed. [CII] emission arises from the outer, HI dominated layers of clouds, and from regions where the hydrogen is H2 but the carbon is predominantly C+. In contrast, the most shielded regions of clouds are dominated by CO and produce little [CII] emission. This provides a natural mechanism to explain the observed [CII]-star formation relation: galaxies' star formation rates are largely driven by the surface densities of their clouds. As this rises, so does the fraction of gas in the CO-dominated phase that produces little [CII] emission. Our model further suggests that the apparent offset in the [CII]-FIR relation for high-z sources compared to those at present epoch may arise from systematically larger gas masses at early times: a galaxy with a large gas mass can sustain a high star formation rate even with relatively modest surface density, allowing copious [CII] emission to coexist with rapid star formation.

description: We consider the inverse problem of finding unknown elastic parameters from internal measurements of displacement fields for tissues. In the sequel to Ammari, Waters, Zhang (2015), we use pseudodifferential methods for the problem of recovering the shear modulus for Stokes systems from internal data. We prove stability estimates in $d=2,3$ with reduced regularity on the estimates and show that the presence of a finite dimensional kernel can be removed. This implies the convergence of the Landweber numerical iteration scheme. We also show that these hypotheses are natural for experimental use in constructing shear modulus distributions.

Subjects: Web sites
Web--Accessible
Web sites--Evaluation
Design--Evaluation

description: This study involves a characterization, evaluation and comparison of Web page design elements, focusing on three specific Web site genres: education, government and shopping.  Samples of fifteen Web sites from each of these categories were examined in the study.  These web sites were evaluated on a set of criteria which dealt with homepage links, advertisements, navigation features, universal access and user support features, and use of advanced technologies.  The results reveal similarities and differences among the three genres, and suggest ways that further analysis of these and other Web site categories will add to our knowledge of genre-specific Web design guidelines.

description: We present the first application of the newly developed EKK theory of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction to shell-model studies of exotic nuclei, including those where conventional approaches with fitted interactions encounter difficulties. This EKK theory enables us to derive the interaction suitable for several major shells ($sd$+$pf$ in this work). By using such an effective interaction obtained from the Entem-Machleidt QCD-based $χ\mathrm{N}^3\mathrm{LO}$ interaction and the Fujita-Miyazawa three-body force, the energies, E2 properties and spectroscopic factors of low-lying states of neutron-rich Ne, Mg and Si isotopes are nicely described, as the first shell-model description of the "island of inversion" without fit of the interaction. The long-standing question as to how particle-hole excitations occur across the $sd$-$pf$ magic gap is clarified with distinct differences from the conventional approaches. The shell evolution is shown to appear similarly to earlier studies.

Usability study

description: The Carolina Health Informatics Program (CHIP) is a new program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that conducts research and training in health sciences by applying informatics approaches. The CHIP "Faculty, Scholars and Researchers" webpage (http://chip.unc.edu/faculty-scholars-researchers/) provides information about the CHIP faculty and researchers. The goal of this project is to enhance the webpage by adding dynamically updatable information about each member's current research. The goal was achieved by retrieving the information from Google Scholar and PubMed databases by executing the client-side and server-side code written in JavaScript/JQuery, PHP, CCS, and Ajax. A usability study was performed to assess the enhanced webpage. Based on the usability study findings, the prototype system was improved and further suggestions for improvements were proposed. The usability study demonstrated that the developed prototype greatly enhanced the usefulness of the website and helped to achieve CHIP's goal to provide easy access to the current research information for each faculty member.
Lepton Flavor Non-Universality in B-meson Decays from a U(2) Flavor Model

description: We address the recent anomalies in semi-leptonic $B$-meson decays using a model of fermion masses based on the $U(2)$ flavor symmetry. The new contributions to $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions arise due to a tree-level exchange of a $Z^\prime$ vector boson gauging a $U(1)$ subgroup of the flavor symmetry. They are controlled by a single parameter and are approximately aligned to the Standard Model prediction, with constructive interference in the $e$-channel and destructive interference in the $μ$-channel. The current experimental data on semi-leptonic $B$-meson decays can be very well reproduced without violating existing constraints from flavor violation in the quark and lepton sectors. Our model will be tested by new measurements of $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions and also by future electroweak precision tests, direct $Z^\prime$ searches, and $μ$-$e$ conversion in nuclei.
