description: We continue the study, initiated in arXiv:1404.1094, of the $O(N)$ symmetric theory of $N+1$ massless scalar fields in $6-ε$ dimensions. This theory has cubic interaction terms $\frac{1}{2}g_1 σ(ϕ^i)^2 + \frac{1}{6}g_2 σ^3$. We calculate the 3-loop beta functions for the two couplings and use them to determine certain operator scaling dimensions at the IR stable fixed point up to order $ε^3$. We also use the beta functions to determine the corrections to the critical value of $N$ below which there is no fixed point at real couplings. The result suggests a very significant reduction in the critical value as the dimension is decreased to $5$. We also study the theory with $N=1$, which has a $Z_2$ symmetry under $ϕ\rightarrow -ϕ$. We show that it possesses an IR stable fixed point at imaginary couplings which can be reached by flow from a nearby fixed point describing a pair of $N=0$ theories. We calculate certain operator scaling dimensions at the IR fixed point of the $N=1$ theory and suggest that, upon continuation to two dimensions, it describes a non-unitary conformal minimal model.

What is a picture worth? A primer for coding and interpreting photographic data

description: Society is becoming increasingly image based. As individuals regularly record moments both mundane and momentous, images potentially lose or gain power to communicate important information. Social work scholars have argued that social work should incorporate images into both interventions (Chapman and Hall, 2016; Chapman et al., 2014) and research (Marshal et al., 2009). A recent review provides an overview of visual methodologies in social work (Clark and Morriss, 2015). The most popular means of doing this has been through the incorporation of Photovoice (Wang and Burris, 1997) into the social work research repertoire. Yet, in Photovoice, although images are central, text remains the unit of analysis. This paper aims to augment the existing literature in social work by focusing on ways in which images can be data in and of themselves and how image-based data interact with text-based data. We will begin with ethical considerations, proceed to step-by-step instructions for coding and analyzing image-based data in ATLAS.ti, and finally discuss interpretation. A case example drawing on a visually based project originally conducted with in-country Chinese migrant mothers will illustrate the outlined methods.

description: A given fractional quantum Hall state may admit multiple, distinct edge phases on its boundary. We explore the implications that multiple edge phases have for the entanglement spectrum and entropy of a given bulk state. We describe the precise manner in which the entanglement spectrum depends upon local (tunneling) interactions along an entanglement cut and throughout the bulk. The sensitivity to local conditions near the entanglement cut appears not only in gross features of the spectrum, but can also manifest itself in an additive, positive constant correction to the topological entanglement entropy, i.e., it increases its magnitude. A natural interpretation for this result is that the tunneling interactions across an entanglement cut can function as a barrier to certain types of quasiparticle transport across the cut, thereby, lowering the total entanglement between the two regions.

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2016

description: Objective: This study reports results from the outcome evaluation of Yo Veo, a visual intervention with schoolteachers, which structures conversations about challenges that teachers face teaching Latino/Latina immigrant students. Method: The intervention was delivered to teachers at two middle schools in the southeastern United States, one with a large and another with a growing proportion of Latino/Latina students. Questionnaire data were collected from 46 teachers at baseline, posttest, and 9-month follow-up. Measures were adapted at the second school as part of the pilot process. Results: Results show improvements in teachers’ scores on cultural competency, multicultural teaching practices, positive classroom management strategies, beliefs about parental involvement, mental health competency, knowledge of barriers to mental health service access, and attitudes toward undocumented immigrants. Measures on which there was no change or changes in the negative direction are also discussed. Conclusions: Yo Veo is a promising approach for promoting awareness, attitudes, and understanding among teachers working with Latino/Latina immigrant students and families. Further research is required to prepare the intervention for wider testing and dissemination.

description: Recent theoretical and experimental developments in the field of electron vortex beam physics have raised questions on what exactly this novelty in the field of electron microscopy (and other fields, such as particle physics) really provides. An important part in the answer to those questions lies in scattering theory. The present investigation explores various aspects of inelastic quantum scattering theory for cylindrically symmetric beams with orbital angular momentum. The model system of Coulomb scattering on a hydrogen atom provides the setting to address various open questions: How is momentum transferred? Do vortex beams selectively excite atoms, and how can one employ vortex beams to detect magnetic transitions? The analytical approach presented here provides answers to these questions. OAM transfer is possible, but not through selective excitation; rather, by pre- and post-selection one can filter out the relevant contributions to a specific signal.

description: The subject of death has been studied since ancient times, but not from the same perspective. This article studies the change of attitude occurred in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries after the council of Constance, when death came to be understood less as a source of fear than as a necessary transit. After the judgment confronting the forces of good and evil, the salvation of the soul is debated in the room of the dying. Influenced by Jean Gerson’s work, editions and translations of artes moriendi were printed in various languages, sometimes including engravings to help contemplation: among them is the translation of Bernardí Vallmanya’s Cordial de l’ànima.

description: The defect induced chemical expansion in acceptor-doped barium zirconate is investigated using density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The two defect species involved in the hydration reaction, the +2 charged oxygen vacancy and the proton interstitial forming a hydroxide ion, are considered both as free defects and in association with the dopants Y, In, Sc and Ga. The defect induced strain tensor lambda is introduced, which provides a natural generalisation of the ordinary chemical expansion to three dimensions and to anisotropic distortions. Both the addition of a vacancy and a proton cause anisotropic distortions and a net contraction of the lattice, indicating that both the vacancy and the hydroxide ion are smaller than the oxygen ion. The contraction is considerably larger for the vacancy and the net effect in hydration, when a vacancy is filled and two protons are added, is an expansion, consistent with the experimental findings. The effect of the dopants on the chemical expansion in hydration is found to be quite small, even if it is assumed that both the vacancy and the proton are fully associated with a dopant atom in the lattice.

description: The aim of this investigation was to map factors that predicted internalizing, externalizing, social, and total behavioral problems in immigrant Latino adolescents. Interviews were conducted with 100 foreign-born Latino adolescents. Multiple regression analyses revealed two risk factors, perceived discrimination and parent-adolescent conflict, which were significant predictors of adolescent internalizing, externalizing, and total problems. Interaction terms indicated that adolescents who were highly involved in Latino culture and who experienced high parent-adolescent conflict were at risk for internalizing problems. Familism was a protective factor associated with lower levels of internalizing and total problems. However, the effect of familism was mediated by parent-adolescent conflict.

description: Social sciences have long considered the nonhuman animals in a utilitarian approach, considering them as objects for humanity. However, rapid growing interests are seen on the study of relationships between human and other animal in contemporary academic research. Anthrozoology has now been an independent discipline to study various aspects of human-animal interactions. However, like many other countries, the disciplinary anthrozoology is still unknown or poorly known in Turkey. Presenting a glimpse on the origin, development, scopes, complexities and future perspectives; this paper primarily aims to illustrate the necessity of anthrozoological researches in Turkey. Moreover, with the help of ethnographical accounts, case studies and some crucial social issues, it further attempts to bring attention of particularly the social scientists in Turkey for re-thinking and re-evaluating the interactions between humans and other animals in broader perspectives.

description: This article compares mental health service need and use among three groups of children: those with a history of foster care placement, those in contact with departments of social services but never in placement, and those from impoverished families who have not been in contact with social services. Data come from a longitudinal epidemiologic study of mental health problems and service use. All three groups show very high rates of mental health problems, but children in foster are or in contact with social services are significantly more likely than children living in poverty to receive mental health services.
The effect of size, shape and oxidation on the magnetic properties of nanoparticles
Creators: name: Penny, Charles John
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Magnetic nanoparticles are widespread in the natural environment and have potentially important biomedical and technological applications. The effect of the shape, size and level of oxidation on the magnetic properties of nanoparticles is either poorly understood, or subject to a number of conflicting results. Such effects are difficult to study experimentally and lend themselves to numerical calculations. In this thesis a number of numerical techniques were used to study magnetic nanoparticles. A numerical mean-field model was developed to help understand the effect of particle size and shape on the Curie temperature. The Curie temperature was found to scale with particle size in agreement with the finite size scaling equation, and values of the scaling exponent were in agreement with theoretical values. The effect of shape on Curie temperature was investigated for the first time. At very small particle sizes, the Curie temperature was discovered to have a strong dependence on the particle shape below a threshold size. The threshold size was found to be controlled by the crystal structure of the magnetic material. The Wien2k density functional theory package was used to estimate nearest neighbour exchange energies in magnetite and maghemite. Estimates of exchange energies were obtained for magnetite, but irresolvable difficulties arose in maghemite due to the presence of vacancies in the maghemite structure. Magnetite-maghemite core-shell nanoparticles were studied using a Monte Carlo model to investigate the effect of oxidation on the magnetic properties of these systems. The Curie temperature of core-shell particles was found to increase non-linearly with increasing oxidation, likely due to the dominance of the surface in reducing the number of nearest neighbours in the maghemite shell at low levels of oxidation. Simulations of hysteresis were performed and the coercivity of a core-shell nanoparticle was found to decrease with increasing oxidation, with possible implications for magnetic hyperthermia treatment.

description: One in five children living in the United States is an immigrant or a child of an immigrant, and 62% of these children are Latino. Through qualitative methods, this study identifies ways that Latino immigrant parents with adolescent children cope with their new environment and how that environment shapes their parenting practices. Two primary themes emerge: overcoming new challenges and finding new strengths. Immigrant parents discuss the challenges of overcoming fears of the unknown; navigating unfamiliar work, school, and neighborhood environments; encountering and confronting racism; and losing family connections and other forms of social capital. In response to these challenges, immigrant parents discuss developing bicultural coping skills, increasing parent-child communication, empathizing with and respecting their adolescent children, and fostering social supports. The results fit well with a risk and protective factor framework and provide a basis for improving policies and programs to support effective parenting in Latino immigrant families.

description: Intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration are common experiences among incarcerated people. Despite knowledge regarding the challenges of re-integrating post-release from jail or prison, including an increased risk of homicide victimization, there is a dearth of research focused on IPV-related homicides post-release from a correctional facility. To address this gap, the current study used 2003-2015 data from the National Violent Death Reporting System from 27 states to examine the characteristics and circumstances surrounding IPV-related homicides soon after the homicide victim was released from jail or prison. Of the 126 post-release homicides, 13.5% were related to IPV. Post-release homicides involving either a female victim or perpetrator were more likely to be IPV-related. In the case of many of the IPV-related homicides, there was evidence of prior IPV as well as potential bystanders (including formal and informal supports) who were aware of the risk for IPV escalation and possible lethality. Compared with non-IPV post-release homicides, those related to IPV were more likely to occur in the victim’s home, have been immediately preceded by a physical fight, and have occurred by means other than firearm. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing the capacity of correctional facilities and community-based services to assess for and respond to risk of IPV and IPV-related lethality for individuals leaving correctional institutions.

description: As compared with the general population, women with serious mental illness experience higher rates of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and are at a greater risk of future victimization, post-traumatic stress disorder, exacerbated symptoms of mental illness, and other negative health outcomes. Despite substantial research, the field lacks clear, consistent guidance for intervention development. To this end, this review aims to move the field beyond its focus on prevalence by providing a comprehensive and concise summary that compares and assesses the findings, quality, and scope of 10 systematic reviews (reviewing 168 studies) pertaining to prevalence and risk factors of intimate partner violence and/or sexual assault among women with serious mental illness.

description: We consider paradigmatic quenched disordered quantum spin models, viz., the XY spin glass and random-field XY models, and show that quenched averaged quantum correlations can exhibit the order-from-disorder phenomenon for finite-size systems as well as in the thermodynamic limit. Moreover, we find that the order-from-disorder can get more pronounced in the presence of temperature by suitable tuning of the system parameters. The effects are found for entanglement measures as well as for information-theoretic quantum correlation ones, although the former show them more prominently. We also observe that the equivalence between the quenched averages and their self-averaged cousins -- for classical and quantum correlations -- is related to the quantum critical point in the corresponding ordered system.

Content delivery over multi-antenna wireless networks
Creators: name: Zhao, Junlin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: The past few decades have witnessed unprecedented advances in information technology, which have significantly shaped the way we acquire and process information in our daily lives. Wireless communications has become the main means of access to data through mobile devices, resulting in a continuous exponential growth in wireless data traffic, mainly driven by the demand for high quality content. Various technologies have been proposed by researchers to tackle this growth in 5G and beyond, including the use of increasing number of antenna elements, integrated point-to-multipoint delivery and caching, which constitute the core of this thesis. In particular, we study non-orthogonal content delivery in multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MISO) systems. First, a joint beamforming strategy for simultaneous delivery of broadcast and unicast services is investigated, based on layered division multiplexing (LDM) as a means of superposition coding. The system performance in terms of minimum required power under prescribed quality-of-service (QoS) requirements is examined in comparison with time division multiplexing (TDM). It is demonstrated through simulations that the non-orthogonal delivery strategy based on LDM significantly outperforms the orthogonal strategy based on TDM in terms of system throughput and reliability. To facilitate efficient implementation of the LDM-based beamforming design, we further propose a dual decomposition-based distributed approach. Next, we study an efficient multicast beamforming design in cache-aided multiuser MISO systems, exploiting proactive content placement and coded delivery. It is observed that the complexity of this problem grows exponentially with the number of subfiles delivered to each user in each time slot, which itself grows exponentially with the number of users in the system. Therefore, we propose a low-complexity alternative through time-sharing that limits the number of subfiles that can be received by a user in each time slot. Moreover, a joint design of content delivery and multicast beamforming is proposed to further enhance the system performance, under the constraint on maximum number of subfiles each user can decode in each time slot. Finally, conclusions are drawn in Chapter 5, followed by an outlook for future works.
Improving knowledge of outcomes in neonatology
Creators: name: Webbe, James William Harrison
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Background: An outcome is a measured effect a treatment has on an individual, but in other fields problems have been identified with how outcomes are selected, collected, reported and interpreted. Core outcomes sets (a minimum set of essential outcomes reported by all related research) have been developed using consensus methods to address these problems. There has been no systematic evaluation of the importance of outcomes in neonatal research. Aims: Improve understanding of the importance of outcomes to neonatal research. Methods: Two systematic reviews identifying outcomes from neonatal trials and qualitative research were completed. The results of these reviews informed a consensus process, which included a Delphi survey, to identify a core outcomes set. The Delphi results were also used to analyse how groups prioritise outcomes and how methodological approaches affect core outcomes set development. Finally, the core outcomes set and population-level data were used to explore how early parenteral nutrition use affects outcomes in very preterm neonates in a retrospective cohort study using propensity score matching. Results: In 76 neonatal trials, 216 outcomes were reported using 889 measures; 146 outcomes were identified in 62 qualitative studies. These outcomes were scored by importance by 414 former patients, parents, healthcare professionals and researchers: the final core outcomes set included 12 outcomes. Delphi results showed stakeholder groups prioritise different outcomes. Data from 16, 292 matched very premature neonates showed that those given PN in the first postnatal week had higher rates of survival (absolute increase 0.91%; confidence interval 0.53, 1.30), but increased morbidity. Conclusions: Outcomes are inconsistently reported in neonatal trials: different outcomes are discussed in qualitative research. The core outcomes set will ensure research outcomes meet the priorities of different groups: I have demonstrated its utility in observational research. Keywords: Outcomes, systematic review, Delphi survey, core outcomes set

description: Observations of jets from young stellar objects reveal the asymmetric outflows from some sources. A large set of $2.5$D MHD simulations has been carried out for axisymmetric viscous/diffusive disc accretion to rotating magnetized stars for the purpose of assessing the conditions where the outflows or jets are asymmetric relative to the equatorial plane. We consider initial magnetic fields that are symmetric about the equatorial plane and consist of a radially distributed field threading the disc (disc-field) and a stellar dipole field.({\bf 1}). For pure disc-fields the symmetry or asymmetry of the outflows is affected by the midplane plasma $β$ of the disc (where $β$ is the ratio of the plasma pressure to the magnetic pressure). For the low density discs with small plasma $β$ values, outflows are observed to be symmetric to within $10\%$ over timescales of hundreds of inner disc orbits. For the denser higher $β$ discs, the coupling of the upper and lower coronal plasmas is broken, and quasi-periodic field motion in the two hemispheres becomes different. This asymmetry leads to asymmetric episodic outflows. ({\bf 2.}) Accreting stars with a stellar dipole field and no disc-field exhibit episodic, two component outflows - a magnetospheric wind and an inner disc wind from somewhat larger radial distances. Both are characterized by similar velocity profiles but the magnetospheric wind has densities $\gtrsim 10$ times that of the disc wind. ({\bf 3}.)Adding a disc-field parallel to the stellar dipole field acts to enhance the magnetospheric winds but suppress the disc wind. ({\bf 4}.) In contrast, adding a disc-field which is anti-parallel to the stellar dipole field in the disc acts to suppress the magnetospheric and disc winds. Our simulations reproduce some key features of observations of asymmetric outflows of T Tauri stars.

description: Based on a first-principles approach, we show that in a single crystal of a prototypical topological insulator such as Bi$_2$Se$_3$ the difference in the work function between adjacent surfaces with different crystal-face orientations generates a built-in electric field around facet edges. Owing to the topological magnetoelectric coupling for a given broken time-reversal symmetry in the crystal, the electric field, in turn, forces effective magnetic dipoles to accumulate along the edges, realizing the facet-edge magnetic ordering. We demonstrate that the predicted magnetic ordering which depends only on the work function difference between facets, is in fact a manifestation of the axion electrodynamics in real solids.

description: Knowledge of and control over the curvature of ripples in freestanding graphene are desirable for fabricating and designing flexible electronic devices, and recent progress in these pursuits has been achieved using several advanced techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy. The electrostatic forces induced through a bias voltage (or gate voltage) were used to manipulate the interaction of freestanding graphene with a tip (substrate). Such forces can cause large movements and sudden changes in curvature through mirror buckling. Here we explore an alternative mechanism, thermal load, to control the curvature of graphene. We demonstrate thermal mirror buckling of graphene by scanning tunneling microscopy and large-scale molecular dynamic simulations. The negative thermal expansion coefficient of graphene is an essential ingredient in explaining the observed effects. This new control mechanism represents a fundamental advance in understanding the influence of temperature gradients on the dynamics of freestanding graphene and future applications with electro-thermal-mechanical nanodevices.

description: Objective: Justice-involved people with mental illnesses, in general, experience poor criminal justice outcomes (i.e., high rates of recidivism and probation revocations) and are at increased risk of homelessness, unemployment, stigma, trauma, and poor physical health. Low social support is repeatedly associated with worse mental health outcomes in the general population but little is known about social support among probationers with serious mental illnesses. Method: To address these gaps in the literature, we used an observational cross-sectional study design and data from a large, randomized controlled trial of specialty mental health probation to examine self-reported social support and its relationships with mental health functioning and other outcomes for individuals with serious mental illnesses on supervised probation. Results: Probationers who self-reported lower levels of social support also reported greater mental health symptomatology and reported lower quality relationships with their probation officers. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: Low social support among probationers with mental illnesses has important implications for mental health and criminal justice practice and policy. Coordinating services between the criminal justice and mental health systems to offer opportunities for social support and meaningful community engagement for those with mental illnesses who are on probation could improve a number of mental health and criminal justice outcomes for this population. Peer support and supported employment services, for example, in addition to outpatient mental health services, could be two strategies that could address social isolation and help individuals living with mental illnesses optimize their recovery and rehabilitation.
Cooling of neutron stars and hybrid stars with a stiff hadronic EoS

description: Within the "nuclear medium cooling" scenario of neutron stars all reliably known temperature - age data, including those of the central compact objects in the supernova remnants of Cassiopeia A and XMMU-J1732, can be comfortably explained by a set of cooling curves obtained by variation of the star mass within the range of typical observed masses. The recent measurements of the high masses of the pulsars PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0348-0432 on the one hand, and of the low masses for PSR J0737-3039B and the companion of PSR J1756-2251 on the other, provide independent proof for the existence of neutron stars with masses in a broad range from $\sim 1.2$ to 2 $M_\odot$. The values $M>2 M_{\odot}$ call for sufficiently stiff equations of state for neutron star matter. We investigate the response of the set of neutron star cooling curves to a stiffening of the nuclear equation of state so that maximum masses of about $2.4 M_\odot$ would be accessible and to a deconfinement phase transition from such stiff nuclear matter in the outer core to color superconducting quark matter in the inner core. Without readjustment of cooling inputs the mass range required to cover all cooling data for the stiff DD2 equation of state should include masses of $2.426 M_\odot$ for describing the fast cooling of CasA while the existence of a quark matter core accelerates the cooling so that CasA cooling data are described with a hybrid star of mass $1.674 M_\odot$.

description: Genetics research is focusing more and more on mining fully sequenced genomes and their annotations to identify the causal genes associated with specific traits (phenotypes) of interest. However, a complex trait is typically associated with multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs), each with hundreds of genes positively/negatively affecting the desired trait(s). Our aim is to develop a Big data analytics & semantic interoperability infrastructure for candidate gene prioritization that will aid breeders in the design of an optimal genotype with a desired trait(s) for a given environment.

description: We discuss further observational support of an idea formulated a decade ago by Abramowicz, Klu{ź}niak, McClintock and Remillard. They demonstrated that the 3:2 pairs of frequencies of the twin-peak black hole (BH) high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) scale inversely with the BH masses and that the scaling covers the entire range from stellar to supermassive BHs. For this reason, they believed that the QPOs may be used for accurate measurements of masses and spins of BHs.
