The Deserted Villages of Leicestershire

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 22, 241-264
description: As the sun sets behind the crumpled outline of the Charnwood Hills, the evening light throws long shadows across the pastures of east and south Leicestershire, revealing in many places the presence of shallow ditches and banks that form a distinct pattern, often covering the greater part of a twenty-acre or even larger field. Such patterns may be most clearly seen where they lie upon a slope and are viewed from the opposite side of a valley, as atingarsby. In the high light of the middle hours of the day, the pattern is indistinguishable and appears merely as an irregular confusion of bumps and hollows. Often a long abandoned series of gravel pits, especially if the workings were shallow, will present much the same appearance on the ground. These old gravel pits may be found all over Leicestershire, particularly in the east and south, where good road material was scarce, and they are frequently mistaken by the inexperienced student for earthworks of archaeological interest. It is, however, not difficult with a little care and practice to distinguish mounds, banks, and depressions that are of real. archaeological significance from these other relics of man's activity in more recent times; most old gravel workings go back no further than the middle of the eighteenth century, when the movement to improve the surface and construction of roads was under way.
A Short History of Frisby and Galby

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 22, 173-210
description: THE village of Galby lies seven miles south-east of Leicester in the ancient hundred of Gartree. Most of the parish is rather more than five hundred feet above sea-level, on the western edge of the great ridge of high ground which crosses England diagonally from south-west to north-east. This ridge begins with the Cotswolds, continues with the Northamptonshire Uplands, and, diminishing in height as one goes north-eastwards, forms the uplands of East Leicestershire whose topmost summit is Whatborough Hill, seven hundred and fifty-five feet above the sea. Apart from the isolated hill-tops such as Whatborough and Robin-a�Xiptoe, this back-bone of England consists in Leicestershire of rolling grassland country five or six hundred feet up, traversed by little streams flowing in wide shallow valleys, and crowned by infrequent spinneys and clumps of trees that are visible at a great distance.
Leicestershire Yeoman Families and their Pedigrees

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 23, 29-62
description: TRACING the pedigree of an ordinary yeoman family, and more people now alive in England are descended from the yeomen than from any other class, is one of the most fascinating pursuits conceivable. The old motives which led people to enquire into the past history of their families, and to trace their descent, are mostly gone: the desire to acquire a better descent than one really had, to go back to some noble ancestor of the same name; or the desire "to attach new names to old acres" as it has been so aptly described. Both these motives led searcrcers, or those who were employed by them, to make unjustifiable assumptions at critical points in the descent, to guess where one could not know, and (at the worst, though this was rare) to invent new data or to distort existing facts in order to establish a distinguished but false pedigree. But all this pretentious activity has disappeared, or nearly so, and has been replaced by a pure interest in the origin of one's family whatever it may have been. This being so, genealogy has become a much more scientific pursuit, in which every single statement is, or should be, supported by a verifiable reference to a record of some description, and in which assumptions are made only with the greatest reluctance and where the circumstantial evidence is very strong.

description: Metronidazole (MNZ) is one of the extensively consumed generic antibiotics, which, due to its high resistance to biological degradation, is considered a potent environmental contaminant. In this study, we use CuO nanoparticles (NPs) for photocatalytic degradation of MNZ. Photocatalytic NPs with a crystallinity of over 80% were synthesized using a facile co-precipitation method followed by calcination at a temperature of 500 °C for a duration of 1 hour. Nanoparticles were characterized thoroughly to investigate their opto-structural properties. We investigated the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation with the variation of MNZ concentration, NP loading and the pH of the MNZ solution. Experimental results revealed that the pH of the MNZ solution strongly controlled the photocatalytic degradation efficiency. As pH was increased from 7 to 11, the degradation rate was enhanced remarkably. Degradation efficiency was also found to be strongly dependent on the concentration of both MNZ solution and CuO NPs.
Demonstration of a scaling advantage for a quantum annealer over simulated annealing

description: The observation of an unequivocal quantum speedup remains an elusive objective for quantum computing. The D-Wave quantum annealing processors have been at the forefront of experimental attempts to address this goal, given their relatively large numbers of qubits and programmability. A complete determination of the optimal time-to-solution (TTS) using these processors has not been possible to date, preventing definitive conclusions about the presence of a scaling advantage. The main technical obstacle has been the inability to verify an optimal annealing time within the available range. Here we overcome this obstacle and present a class of problem instances for which we observe an optimal annealing time using a D-Wave 2000Q processor over a range spanning up to more than $2000$ qubits. This allows us to perform an optimal TTS benchmarking analysis and perform a comparison to several classical algorithms, including simulated annealing, spin-vector Monte Carlo, and discrete-time simulated quantum annealing. We establish the first example of a scaling advantage for an experimental quantum annealer over classical simulated annealing: we find that the D-Wave device exhibits certifiably better scaling than simulated annealing, with $95\%$ confidence, over the range of problem sizes that we can test. However, we do not find evidence for a quantum speedup: simulated quantum annealing exhibits the best scaling by a significant margin. Our construction of instance classes with verifiably optimal annealing times opens up the possibility of generating many new such classes, paving the way for further definitive assessments of scaling advantages using current and future quantum annealing devices.

description: This collection of five essays on Leicestershire agrarian history represents the Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological Society for the year 1948. The Society willingly concurred with a suggestion of mine that from time to time it should publish its annual volume of Transactions in the form of a number of papers all bearing upon the same general subject. It was felt that members of the Society would welcome such a volume of papers on related subjects as a specific contribution to the history of the county; and also that such a book might find a small but kindly reception in the world outside, as a contribution to English history, the re-writing of which is coming to depend more and more upon detailed regional studies such as this.

description: IN the closing months of the year 1800, and the first half of 1801, the rapidly rising cost of living, as the French wars dragged on interminably, greatly agitated both Commons and Lords. Both Houses debated yet again the high price of provisions, and particularly that of grain, at length. As a result of these debates Select Committees were set up to consider the subject, which reported six times in 1800 and seven times in the first half of the following year. It was possibly as a result of these Committees' activities that the Home Office called for returns of the acreage under crops in every parish of the kingdom in the year 1801, the information to be supplied on a printed form by the rector, vicar, or curate, as the case might be. These crop returns, made immediately after the harvest of 1801, survive for the greater part in the Public Record Office among the Home Office Papers, where they are grouped under the various dioceses. Thus the returns for a particular county have to be extracted, sheet by sheet, from a rather miscellaneous mass, and one cannot be completely certain that one has recovered every single return that may exist.
The Origin and Rise of Market Harborough

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 25, 56-58
description: The origin of the pleasant old town of Market Harborough presents an interesting problem in local topography and history, for unlike the vast majority of Leicestershire towns, villages and hamlets it does not appear in Domesday Book. A few other places which exist today similarly fail to appear, but in some of these instances we know that the village was in fact already in existence. Bringhurst is a case in point. Situated on its isolated hill a few miles down the Welland valley from Harborough, Bringhurst was one of the first settlements mad'e in Leicestershire by the Anglo-Saxon invaders. It was the hyrst or (wooded) hillock of Bryni's people (Bryninga hyrst), an early place-name of the same type as Rockingham and Cottingham just across the valley, on the North-amptonshire side. All three sites were probably occupied late in the fifth century or early in the sixth. About the year 700 Bringhurst was given to Medeshamstede (refounded later as Peterborough) abbey by Ethelred, King of Mercia (674-704), and a confirmatory charter of Edward the Confessor speaks of '' the church of Bring-hurst " also. Yet in 1086, when Domesday Book was compiled, Bringhurst is not mentioned and it next appears in written records as late as n88. Had one not known its earlier history from other sources, one might have set this little hill-top village down as a twelfth-century settlement from an older village in the neighbour-hood. In fact Bringhurst is the mother-village of Great Easton, Prestgrave (now vanished) and Drayton, in the lowland at its feet, But already, by the eleventh century, the daughter village of Great Easton (i.e. "the eastern tun " in relation to Bringhurst), in a sheltered hollow a mile away, had out-grown the older site on its ancient summit; and in 1086 Bringhurst is undoubtedly silently included in the small soke of Great Easton, which belonged to Peter-borough abbey. This soke included Easton, Bringhurst, Prestgrave and Drayton, probably an original Old English estate occupying the extreme south-eastern tip of the county, together with Glaston in the adjacent county of Rutland, about six miles north-east of Bringhurst. Whether Glaston had any original connection with Bringhurst, dating from the early days of the Old English settle-ment, we do not know.

Croft Hill

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 26, 83-92
description: The green island of Croft Hill thrusts itself up suddenly nearly two hundred feet out of the wide sea of the Soar flood-plain, standing out for many miles around as an isolated landmark of distinctive shape. It is, in fact, very nearly the physical centre of England. Because of its individual shape and its position it has been the scene of events that might not otherwise have come its way. In the days before settled urban life, before the countryside was criss-crossed with sign-posted roads, and before the roads them-selves were mapped, men met together on these isolated hill-tops to transact public business, especially if the assembly had to be summoned over a great distance and had to travel over unknown horizons. In such circumstances a widely visible and easily identifiable landmark such as an isolated hill, or an abrupt range of hills rising from an otherwise featureless landscape, was chosen for a meeting-place. The hundred court, one of the oldest of English institutions, often met on such a hill, or at some well-known tree or grove of trees, or perhaps at some man-made landmark like a cross-roads.. Thus the hundred-court of Gartree in Leicestershire met at the "gore tree," beside the old Roman road and not far from the present Shangton Grange, at a tree standing on a gore-shaped piece of land. Similarly, the hundred court of Framland met at what is now Great Framlands Farm, on the high clay ridge about two miles due north of Melton. This was originally Frani's lund or grove, and it too stood beside an ancient road which can be traced on the Ordnance map running northwards out of Burrough camp along an unfrequented brjdle-road straight into Melton, where it crossed the Wreak. Continuing northwards, it climbed over the wolds (i.e. wald or forested country) of north Leicestershire and ran down Brock Hill into the vale of Belvoir to some unknown destination. This track was probably of Iron Age date, as it is obviously associated with the hill-fort of Burrough; whjch is of that period. The town of Melton grew up long afterwards where this ancient way made the crossing of the difficult Wreak valley.

description: High visibility on-chip quantum interference among indistinguishable single-photons from multiples sources is a key prerequisite for integrated linear optical quantum computing. Resonant enhancement in micro-ring resonators naturally enables brighter, purer and more indistinguishable single-photon production without any tight spectral filtering. The indistinguishability of heralded single-photons from multiple micro-ring resonators has not been measured in any photonic platform. Here, we report on-chip indistinguishability measurements of heralded single-photons generated from independent micro-ring resonators by using an on-chip Mach-Zehnder interferometer and spectral demultiplexer. We measured the raw heralded two-photon interference fringe visibility as 72 +/- 3%. This result agrees with our model, which includes device imperfections, spectral impurity and multi-pair emissions. We identify multi-pair emissions as the main factor limiting the nonclassical interference visibility, and show a route towards achieving near unity visibility in future experiments.

description: Some years ago I wrote in these Transactions (Vol. XXII, pp. 242-64) an account of all the deserted village sites in Leicestershire I had then dis-covered; and in 1950 I published an extended account, with a number of additional sites, in Essays in Leicestershire History. There would have been no reason for yet further notes on the same subject had not the officers of the Ordnance Survey, in the course of revising their 25-inch maps, made detailed plans on that scale of seven sites in East Leicestershire. By the courtesy of the Ordnance Survey these plans have been made available to the Society for reproduction, and I agreed to write some notes about each plan without, so far as possible, repeating what I have said elsewhere on the subject.

description: The following study of the population changes in one large Leicestershire village between the eleventh century and the opening of the nineteenth is intended not only as a contribution to the social history of that village, but also as a general guide to other students of local history in the county. It forms, I hope, a guide to the sources which exist for such a study, the special difficulties that each presents to the enquirer, and the methods by which the sources can be exploited for the purpose of discovering what is happen-ing to the numbers of people in a place. The study of population changes is absolutely fundamental to Local History. But behind the bare figures of growth, stagnation, or decline, I have tried to discern the historical forces at work, and behind them again the actual people whom the figures represent. Parts of the paper are necessarily a little dull and technical, but I hope the parish historian will persevere until he comes to the "human bits"-the epidemic, "the girl at the door of an inn", the poor parson's teeming family, the real people behind the great abstractions and the dusty trends. The sources naturally vary a little in their completeness for different places: some places will be more fortunate than Wigston in their records, others less so. But, by and large, what I have said here is of general applica-tion and is meant to be read as such.
Casting the Coronal Magnetic Field Reconstruction Tools in 3D Using MHD Bifrost Model

description: Quantifying coronal magnetic field remains a central problem in solar physics. Nowadays the coronal magnetic field is often modelled using nonlinear force-free field (NLFFF) reconstructions, whose accuracy has not yet been comprehensively assessed. Here we perform a detailed casting of the NLFFF reconstruction tools, such as pi-disambiguation, photospheric field preprocessing, and volume reconstruction methods using a 3D snapshot of the publicly available full-fledged radiative MHD model. Specifically, from the MHD model we know the magnetic field vector in the entire 3D domain, which enables us to perform "voxel-by-voxel" comparison of the restored and the true magnetic field in the 3D model volume. Our tests show that the available pi-disambiguation methods often fail at the quiet sun areas dominated by small-scale magnetic elements, while they work well at the AR photosphere and (even better) chromosphere. The preprocessing of the photospheric magnetic field, although does produce a more force-free boundary condition, also results in some effective `elevation' of the magnetic field components. This `elevation' height is different for the longitudinal and transverse components, which results in a systematic error in absolute heights in the reconstructed magnetic data cube. The extrapolations performed starting from actual AR photospheric magnetogram are free from this systematic error, while have other metrics comparable with those for extrapolations from the preprocessed magnetograms. This finding favors the use of extrapolations from the original photospheric magnetogram without preprocessing. Our tests further suggest that extrapolations from a force-free chromospheric boundary produce measurably better results, than those from the photospheric boundary.

Holographic Reconstruction of AdS Exchanges from Crossing Symmetry

description: Motivated by AdS/CFT, we address the following outstanding question in large $N$ conformal field theory: given the appearance of a single-trace operator in the ${\cal O}\times{\cal O}$ OPE of a scalar primary ${\cal O}$, what is its total contribution to the vacuum four-point function $\langle {\cal O}{\cal O}{\cal O}{\cal O}\rangle$ as dictated by crossing symmetry? We solve this problem in 4d conformal field theories at leading order in $1/N$. Viewed holographically, this provides a field theory reconstruction of crossing-symmetric, four-point exchange amplitudes in AdS$_5$. Our solution takes the form of a resummation of the large spin solution to the crossing equations, supplemented by corrections at finite spin, required by crossing. The method can be applied to the exchange of operators of arbitrary twist $τ$ and spin $s$, although it vastly simplifies for even-integer twist, where we give explicit results. The output is the set of OPE data for the exchange of all double-trace operators $[{\cal O}{\cal O}]_{n,\ell}$. We find that the double-trace anomalous dimensions $γ_{n,\ell}$ are negative, monotonic and convex functions of $\ell$, for all $n$ and all $\ell>s$. This constitutes a holographic signature of bulk causality and classical dynamics of even-spin fields. We also find that the "derivative relation" between double-trace anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients does not hold in general, and derive the explicit form of the deviation in several cases. Finally, we study large $n$ limits of $γ_{n,\ell}$, relevant for the Regge and bulk-point regimes.

description: The dynamical symmetries of $1+1$-dimensional Matrix Partial Differential Equations with a Calogero potential (with/without the presence of an extra oscillatorial De Alfaro-Fubini-Furlan, DFF, damping term) are investigated. The first-order invariant differential operators induce several invariant algebras and superalgebras. Besides the $sl(2)\oplus u(1)$ invariance of the Calogero Conformal Mechanics, an $osp(2|2)$ invariant superalgebra, realized by first-order and second-order differential operators, is obtained. The invariant algebras with an infinite tower of generators are given by the universal enveloping algebra of the deformed Heisenberg algebra, which is shown to be equivalent to a deformed version of the Schrödinger algebra. This vector space also gives rise to a higher spin (gravity) superalgebra. We furthermore prove that the pure and DFF Matrix Calogero PDEs possess isomorphic dynamical symmetries, being related by a similarity transformation and a redefinition of the time variable.

description: A post-ring roundhouse and adjacent structure were recorded by University of Leicester Archaeological Services, during archaeological recording preceding laying of the Wing to Whatborough Hill trunk main in 1996 by Anglian Water plc. The form of the roundhouse together with the radiocarbon dating of charred grains and finds of pottery and flint indicate that the remains stemmed from occupation toward the end of the second millennium B.C. The distribution of charred cereal remains within the postholes indicates that grain including barley was processed and stored on site. A pit containing a small quantity of Beaker style pottery was also recorded to the east, whilst a palaeolith was recovered from the infill of a cryogenic fissure.

description: Many quantum information measures can be written as an optimization of the quantum relative entropy between sets of states. For example, the relative entropy of entanglement of a state is the minimum relative entropy to the set of separable states. The various capacities of quantum channels can also be written in this way. We propose a unified framework to numerically compute these quantities using off-the-shelf semidefinite programming solvers, exploiting the approximation method proposed in [Fawzi, Saunderson, Parrilo, Semidefinite approximations of the matrix logarithm, arXiv:1705.00812]. As a notable application, this method allows us to provide numerical counterexamples for a proposed lower bound on the quantum conditional mutual information in terms of the relative entropy of recovery.

description: This paper describes the results of a palaeoenvironmental assessment analysis of an early Holocene peat bed buried beneath colluvium at Slip Inn quarry, near Lutterworth, Leicestershire. Whilst the results of plant macrofossil analysis were poor, pollen analysis revealed evidence for an early postglacial forest dominated by pine and birch, but with evidence for unstable conditions, possibly due to poor soil development and reflecting the sensitivity of this newly emerging postglacial landscape to natural geomorphological processes. Through time, the pollen record showed an expansion of alder alongside hazel and lime, with the alder probably reflecting waterlogged conditions adjacent to a wetland, whilst the hazel and lime grew on drier ground. Abundant grass and other herb pollen in both the upper and lower samples of peat analysed suggest an open component to the vegetation. No evidence was found from pollen analysis to suggest human manipulation of the landscape, which agrees with the sparse archaeological evidence for limited Mesolithic activity within the area.

description: While winding a particle-like excitation around a loop-like excitation yields the celebrated Aharonov-Bohm phase, we find a distinctive braiding phase in the absence of such mutual winding. In this work, we propose an exotic particle-loop-loop braiding process, dubbed the \emph{Borromean-Rings braiding}. In the process, a particle moves around two unlinked loops, such that its trajectory and the two loops form the Borromean-Rings or more general Brunnian links. As the particle trajectory does not wind with any of the loops, the resulting braiding phase is fundamentally different from the Aharonov-Bohm phase. We derive an explicit expression for the braiding phase in terms of the underlying Milnor's triple linking number. We also propose Topological Quantum Field Theories consisting of an $AAB$-type topological term which realize the braiding statistics.

Geometry of the moduli space of $n$-pointed K3 surfaces of genus 11
Creators: name: Barros, Ignacio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We prove that the moduli space of polarized $K3$ surfaces of genus eleven with $n$ marked points is unirational when $n\leq 6$ and uniruled when $n\leq7$. As a consequence, we settle a long standing but not proved assertion about the unirationality of $\cal{M}_{11,n}$ for $n\leq6$. We also prove that the moduli space of polarized $K3$ surfaces of genus eleven with $9$ marked points has non-negative Kodaira dimension.

description: Artificial intelligence can be categorised into two main paradigms: model-free \emph{learners} and model-based \emph{solvers}. Learners aim to learn functions with specified domains and targets from data and have been popularised by major advancements in deep learning architectures and hardware. They are able to make quick decisions in various tasks such as computer vision and natural language processing and are able to handle noisy data well. However, they struggle at long range reasoning and lack theoretical guarantees for critical tasks. Solvers on the other hand aim to solve problems modelled by a planning expert which require long range reasoning with theoretical guarantees. The reasoning capabilities of solvers come at the expense of computational complexity and difficulty of leveraging parallelism for hardware such as GPUs. In this thesis, we focus on a class of solvers in the form of planners, which `plan' by finding a course of actions to taken to reach a specified goal. This thesis combines the best of both worlds by taking advantage of the capabilities of learners to speedup planners for solving large scale reasoning problems. % We do so by introducing our \textbf{G}raph neural networks \textbf{O}ptimised f\textbf{O}r \textbf{S}earch \textbf{E}valuation (\textbf{GOOSE}) framework for learning heuristic functions for guiding search during planning. % The two learning tasks we focus on are learning domain-dependent heuristic functions from small problems of a given planning domain for use in much larger problems from the same domain, and learning domain-independent heuristic functions, a form of zero-shot learning where we learn heuristic functions from a set of domains for use in problems from unseen domains. Our contributions can be categorised into four main themes. We \textbf{model} and construct various, novel graph representations of both grounded and lifted planning tasks for use to learn heuristics. The construction of such graphs are complemented with \textbf{theory} which aim to answer the question \emph{what domain-independent heuristics can we learn?} On the planning side of our work, we introduce efficient \textbf{parallelisation} techniques for speeding up heuristic search using learned heuristic functions for planning. Our final contribution consists of combining all our previous components into GOOSE and evaluating it with a new and comprehensive set of experiments which sets a new standard for the field of \textbf{learning for planning}.

description: Oxford Archaeology excavated four burnt mounds beside a minor tributary stream of the River Sence at Hugglescote, Coalville, North West Leicestershire, each comprising a mound of charcoal and burnt stone, associated with one or more hearths and troughs. Tree-throw holes and possible man-made pits sealed beneath the mounds, as well as a small assemblage of worked flint, attested to limited activity during the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. Radiocarbon dating indicated that the earliest mound was in use during the early Bronze Age, while the other mounds were later - dating from the middle Bronze Age. This article is summarised from a detailed site report, including full specialist reports, which is available at the OA Library at https://library.thehumanjourney. net/4719/ and will be made available through the OASIS website. The project archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council Museums Service under accession code X.A.51.2014.

Stability Analysis of a Bose-Einstein Condensate Trapped in a Generic Potential

description: We investigate the dynamical behavior of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a spherical power law potential restricted to the repulsive case, from the dynamical system formalism point of view. A five-dimensional dynamical system is found (due the symmetry of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation interacting with a potential), where the Thomas-Fermi approximation constrains the parameter space of solutions. We show that for values of the power law exponent equal or smaller than 2 the system seems to be stable. However, when the corresponding exponent is bigger than 2, the instability of the system grows when the power law exponent grows, indicating that large values of the aforementioned parameter can be related to a loss in the number of particles from the condensed state. This fact can be used also to show that the stability conditions of the condensate are highly sensitive to the exponent associated with the external potential.

description: The archive of the railway industry is very rich. However, this article asserts that to study railways from the records held in that archive alone, without taking account of what is - and what was - to be seen on the ground, is to forego an important part of the totality of the evidence for the history of this industry. It takes a number of examples, primarily from Leicestershire, to show how aspects of the railway on the ground not only answer questions raised by a study of the records but also suggest significant questions to be followed up in the records.
