description: The core idea of stochastic stability is that thermodynamic observables must be robust under small (random) perturbations of the quenched Gibbs measure. Combining this idea with the cavity field technique, which aims to measure the free energy increment under addition of a spin to the system, we sketch how to write a stochastic stability approach to diluted mean field spin glasses which explicitly gives overlap constraints as the outcome. We then show that, under minimal mathematical assumptions and for gauge invariant systems (namely those with even Ising interactions), it is possible to "reverse" the idea of stochastic stability and use it to derive a broad class of constraints on the unperturbed quenched Gibbs measure. This paper extends a previous study where we showed how to derive (linear) polynomial identities from the "energy" contribution to the free energy, while here we focus on the consequences of "entropic" constraints. Interestingly, in diluted spin glasses, the entropic approach generates more identities than those found by the energy route or other techniques. The two sets of identities become identical on a fully connected topology, where they reduce to the ones derived by Aizenman and Contucci.

description: We study variants of the well-known Collatz graph, by considering the action of the 3n+1 function on congruence classes. For moduli equal to powers of 2, these graphs are shown to be isomorphic to binary De Bruijn graphs. Unlike the Collatz graph, these graphs are very structured, and have several interesting properties. We then look at a natural generalization of these finite graphs to the 2-adic integers, and show that the isomorphism between these infinite graphs is exactly the conjugacy map previously studied by Bernstein and Lagarias. Finally, we show that for generalizations of the 3n+1 function, we get similar relations with 2-adic and p-adic De Bruijn graphs.

description: In the autumn of 1585 Queen Elizabeth signed the Treaty of Nonsuch with the Estates General of the Low Countries. By pledging to send English troops and supplies to aid the Estates in their rebellion against Philip II of Spain, Elizabeth’s actions were seen as a declaration of war. Such action was incredibly risky given that Philip’s power far outclassed Elizabeth’s. This thesis will answer why it was that Elizabeth elected to enter formal war to aid the Dutch in 1585 given that such a dangerous prospect had been avoided at all costs in the years prior. It is argued here that a crucial factor in the Privy Council’s, and consequently Elizabeth’s, decision to enter a formal war against Spain was the Catholic propaganda campaign of 1584, a factor absent in previous answers to this question. In this campaign exiled Jesuit priests made calls for religious toleration. The Elizabethan regime, increasingly paranoid by the revelation of the Throckmorton Plot and the assassination of William of Orange, interpreted this Catholic campaign as the subtle roots for rebellion. They thus it necessary to enter a formal war in the Low Countries as a means to outsource war which they considered inevitable.

description: We investigate the electromagnetic response of a pair of complementary bi-anisotropic media, which consist of a medium with positive refractive index ($+\ep$, $+μ$, $+ξ$) and a medium with negative refractive index($-\ep$, $-μ$, $-ξ$). We show that this idealized system has peculiar imaging properties in that it reproduces images of a source, in principle, with unlimited resolution. We then consider an infinite array of line sources regularly spaced in a one-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) consisting of 2n-layers of bi-anisotropic complementary media. Using coordinate transformation, we map this system into 2D corner chiral lenses of 2n heterogeneous anisotropic complementary media sharing a vertex, within which light circles around closed trajectories. Alternatively, one can consider corner lenses with homogeneous isotropic media and map them onto one dimensional PCs with heterogeneous bi-anisotropic layers. Interestingly, such complementary media are described by scalar, or matrix valued, sign-shifting parameters, which satisfy a generalized lens theorem, which can be derived using Fourier series solutions of the Maxwell's equations (in the former case), or from space-time symmetry arguments (in the latter case). Also of interest are 2D periodic checkerboards alternating rectangular cells of complementary media which are such that one point source in one cell gives rise to an infinite set of images with an image in every other cell. Such checkerboards can be mapped into a class of three-dimensional corner lenses of complementary bi-anisotropic media.

description: Silicate minerals belong to the most abundant solids in space. Their formation becomes difficult at the transition from the oxygen rich chemistry of M-stars to the carbon rich chemistry of C-stars. In the intermediate type S-stars oxygen and carbon are consumed by CO and SiO molecule formation, and left-over oxygen to build the SiO4-tetrahedra of silicates becomes scarce. Then SiO molecules may directly condense into solid SiO. The IR absorption spectrum of solid SiO differs from that of silicates by the absence of Si-O-Si bending modes at 18 mum while the absorption by Si-O bond stretching modes at 10 mum is present. Such characteristics are observed in a number of S-star spectra. We suggest that this observation may be explained by formation of solid SiO as a major dust component at C/O abundance ratios close to unity. We determine the IR absorption properties of solid SiO by laboratory transmission measurements of thin SiO films produced by vapour deposition on a Si(111) wafer. From the measured spectra the dielectric function of SiO is derived. The results are used in model calculations of radiative transfer in circumstellar dust shells with solid SiO dust. Comparison of synthetic and observed spectra shows that reasonable agreement is obtained between the main spectral characteristics of emission bands due to solid SiO and an emission band centred on 10 mum, but without accompanying 18 mum band, observed in some S-stars. We propose that solid SiO is the carrier material of this 10 mum spectral feature.

description: We investigate theoretically the physics of diffusion-limited intramolecular polymer reactions. The present work completes and goes beyond a previous study [Nat. Chem. 4, 268 (2012)] that showed that the distribution of the polymer conformations at the very instant of reaction plays a key role in the cyclization kinetics, and takes explicitly into account the non-Markovian nature of the reactant motion. Here, we present in detail this non-Markovian theory, and compare it explicitly with existing Markovian theories and with numerical stochastic simulations. A large focus is made on the description of the non-equilibrium reactive conformations, with both numerical and analytical tools. We show that the reactive conformations are elongated and are characterized by a spectrum with a slowly decreasing tail, implying that the monomers that neighbor the reactive monomers are significantly shifted at the instant of reaction. We complete the study by deriving explicit formulas for the reaction rates in the Markovian Wilemski-Fixman theory when the reactants are located in arbitrary positions in the chain. We also give a simple scaling argument to understand the existence of two regimes in the reaction time, that come from two possible behaviors of monomer motion which can be either diffusive or subdiffusive.

title: Risk Misperception and Selection in Insurance Markets: An Application to Demand for Cancer Insurance
Creators: name: Hales, David S.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: Spinnewijn (2013) posits that optimism about risk and the efficacy of risk-reducing effort could cause selection in insurance markets. We test for this using a survey of 474 subjects' demand for hypothetical cancer insurance. We elicit perceptions of baseline cancer risk and control efficacy and combine these with subject-specific cancer risks predicted by the Harvard Cancer Risk Index to develop measures of baseline and control optimism. We find that only 23 percent of our subjects would purchase a fair insurance contract aligned to their true risk type. Of these subjects, 94 percent also overinvest in prevention, leading to advantageous selection.

description: Charge dynamics in a dimer Mott insulating system, where a non-polar dimer-Mott (DM) phase and a polar charge-ordered (CO) phase compete with each other, are studied. In particular, collective charge excitations are analyzed in the three different models where the internal-degree of freedom in a dimer is taken into account. Collective charge excitation exists both in the non-polar DM phase and the polar CO phase, and softens in the phase boundary. This mode is observable by the optical conductivity spectra where the light polarization is parallel to the electric polarization in the polar CO phase. Connections between the present theory and the recent experimental results in kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 are discussed.

Freak Out the Squares: The Semiotic Production of American Biker Identities and the Preservation of an Abject Sign

description: This thesis examines the political dimensions of linguistic and semiotic preservation of biker subculture as it relates to race, gender, and class among contemporary bikers in the United States. Propelled by the biker colloquialism “freak out the squares” – which is used to draw boundaries of ideological and behavioral difference between bikers and the non-biker mainstream – I investigate the embodiment of this prominent attitude within the aesthetic, material, and language practices of a subcultural group of bikers who preserve a style of choppers (custom motorcycles) that originated in the post-WW2 and countercultural eras. This style historically has influenced mainstay American biker ideologies and its authentication has become evident through the working-class cultural production of motorcycles, magazines, dress, and language that reproduce sexist, racist, and xenophobic fields of signification. While this style paints bikers as stereotypically White, male, libertarian, and violent, the current communities who preserve these cultural forms aren’t always necessarily so. Faced with this tension, I investigate the biker drive to shock and scare within the terms of what Julia Kristeva calls abjection. I use ethnographic material to discuss what role abjection holds within the sexist, racist, and xenophobic linguistic and semiotic practices of this cultural style. I explicate how abjection is motivated by ideologies of class, nation, and liberty. In theorizing abjection as belonging to what I call the outlaw biker register, I document how violent semiotic usage in this register is mediated by an individual’s pragmatic and metapragmatic relationship to the perceived figure of the “square.”

description: Using the properties of SDSS DR7 QSOs catalog from Shen et al., the Baldwin effect, its slope evolution, the underlying drive for a large sample of 35019 QSOs with reliable spectral analysis are investigated. We find that the Baldwin effect exists in this large QSOs sample, which is almost the same in 11 different redshift bins, up to $z\sim 5$. The slope is -0.238 by the BCES (\civ\ EW depends on the continuum), -0.787 by the BCES bisector. For 11 redshift-bins, there is an increasing of the Baldwin effect slope from $z\sim1.5$ to $z\sim2.0$. From $z\sim2.0$ to $z\sim5.0$, the slope change is not clear considering their uncertainties or larger redshift bins. There is a strong correlation between the rest-frame \civ\ EW and \civ-based \mbh while the relation between the \civ\ EW and \mgii-based \mbh is very weak. With the correction of \civ-based \mbh from the \civ\ blueshift relative to \mgii, we suggest that this strong correlation is due to the bias of the \civ-based \mbh, with respect to that from the \mgii\ line. Considering the \mgii-based \mbh, a medium strong correlation is found between the \civ\ EW and the Eddington ratio, which implies that the Eddington ratio seems to be a better underlying physical parameter than the central black hole mass.

description: Previous studies have identified “trust” as a key mechanism to achieve sustainable partnerships in participatory health research, which themselves can represent social networks. A recent review discussed the potential for social network analysis to investigate the development and maintenance of trust and its effects on partnership functioning in participatory health research partnerships. This review also recommended considering a comprehensive, nuanced and multidimensional approach to conceptualizing, operationalizing and measuring trust in research partnerships. Thus, this study aims to explore empirically the conceptualizing, operationalizing and measuring of trust in a multidimensional manner, approaching each trust dimension as an individual trust network, as well as combined as an overall trust network.

description: Superfluid turbulence consisting of quantized vortices is called quantum turbulence (QT). Quantum turbulence and quantized vortices were discovered in superfluid $^4$He about 50 years ago, but innovation has occurred recently in this field. One is in the field of superfluid helium. Statistical quantities such as energy spectra and probability distribution function of the velocity field have been accessible both experimentally and numerically. Visualization technique has developed and succeeded in the direct visualization of quantized vortices. The other innovation is in the field of atomic Bose-Einstein condensation. The modern optical technique has enabled us to control and visualize directly the condensate and quantized vortices. Various kinds of hydrodynamic instability have been revealed. Even QT is realized experimentally. This article describes such recent developments as well as the motivation of studying QT.

description: In nature stationary nonequilibrium systems cannot exist on their own, rather they need to be driven from outside in order to keep them away from equilibrium. While the internal mean entropy of such stationary systems is constant, the external drive will on average increase the entropy in the environment. This external entropy production is usually quantified by a simple formula, stating that each microscopic transition of the system between two configurations $c \to c'$ with rate $w_{c\to c'}$ changes the entropy in the environment by $ΔS_{\rm env} = {\ln w_{c \to c'}}-{\ln w_{c' \to c}}$. According to this formula irreversible transitions $c \to c'$ with a vanishing backward rate $w_{c'\to c}=0$ would produce an infinite amount of entropy. However, in experiments designed to mimic such processes, a divergent entropy production, that would cause an infinite increase of heat in the environment, is not seen. The reason is that in an experimental realization the backward process can be suppressed but its rate always remains slightly positive, resulting in a finite entropy production. The paper discusses how this entropy production can be estimated and specifies a lower bound depending on the observation time.

description: We report the generation of directed self-propelled motion of a droplet of aniline oil with a velocity on the order of centimeters per second on an aqueous phase. It is found that, depending on the initial conditions, the droplet shows either circular or beeline motion in a circular Petri dish. The motion of a droplet depends on volume of the droplet and concentration of solution. The velocity decreases when volume of the droplet and concentration of solution increase. Such unique motion is discussed in terms of Marangoni-driven spreading under chemical nonequilibrium. The simulation reproduces the mode of motion in a circular Petri dish.

description: By defining strategic objectives for the network of influenza laboratories that have national influenza centre status or national function within European Union Member States, Iceland and Norway, it is possible to align their priorities in undertaking virological surveillance of influenza. This will help maintain and develop the network to meet and adapt to new challenges over the next 3-5 years and underpin a longer-term strategy over 5-10 years. We analysed the key activities undertaken by influenza reference laboratories in Europe and categorised them into a framework of four key strategic objectives areas: enhancing laboratory capability, ensuring laboratory capacity, providing emergency response and translating laboratory data into information for public health action. We make recommendations on the priority areas for future development.

description: We present the results of a statistical study of the star formation rates (SFR) derived from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) observations in the ultraviolet continuum and in the Hαemission line for a sample of about 800 luminous compact galaxies (LCGs). Galaxies in this sample have a compact structure and include one or several regions of active star formation. Global galaxy characteristics (metallicity, luminosity, stellar mass) are intermediate between ones of the nearby blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies and Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at high redshifts z > 2 - 3. SFRs were corrected for interstellar extinction which was derived from the optical Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra. We find that SFRs derived from the galaxy luminosities in the far ultraviolet (FUV) and near ultraviolet (NUV) ranges vary in a wide range from 0.18 M_Sun/yr to 113 M_Sun/yr with median values of 3.8 M_Sun/yr and 5.2 M_Sun/yr, respectively. Simple regression relations are found for luminosities L(Hα) and L(UV) as functions of the mass of the young stellar population, the starburst age, and the galaxy metallicity. We consider the evolution of L(Hα), L(FUV) and L(NUV) with a starburst age and introduce new characteristics of star formation, namely the initial Hα, FUV and NUV luminosities at zero starburst age.

Creators: name: Dowdell, Adam Oliver Duncan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: Directed cell motility plays a crucial role at some stage for most forms of life. Single celled organisms rely on finely controlled motion to hunt or migrate toward optimum environmental conditions. Multicellular organisms require a continual system of simultaneous - and precise - cellular migration, from conception until death, simply in order to develop and survive. These migrations are most often modulated via diffusible extracellular signals, causing the affected cell to move towards or - rarely - away from the source of the signal; this is chemotaxis. The primary aim of this thesis is to come to a fundamental understanding of the relationship between chemotactic signals and the elicited cellular response, from basic singular signals to complex multi-signal systems, and use this knowledge to predict novel migration behaviours. This is achieved using a feedback loop between an iterative process of mathematical modelling, to predict chemotactic responses, and live cell imaging, to validate and improve upon the model. Assays are performed using Insall chambers, a direct visualisation chemotaxis chamber, and the motile amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. A diverse range of extracellular signalling conditions are constructed via the varying chemotactic properties of different derivatives of cAMP, a signalling molecule to which D. discoideum are highly chemotactic. Using mathematics as an interface between chemical concentration and subsequent cell-surface receptor activation, many complex migration behaviours were predicted and experimentally verified. Of particular interest are: a robust system by which chemorepulsion - the mechanics of which have been elusive - can be mediated, conditions that can give rise to an inversion of chemotactic directionality in the same gradient, and proof that two signals that cause chemoattraction in isolation can be combined to induce chemorepulsion.

description: In this work, we show the convergence of adaptive lowest-order FEM (AFEM) for an elliptic obstacle problem with non-homogeneous Dirichlet data, where the obstacle χ is restricted only by χ in H^2(Ω). The adaptive loop is steered by some residual based error estimator introduced in Braess, Carstensen & Hoppe (2007) that is extended to control oscillations of the Dirichlet data, as well. In the spirit of Cascon et al. (2008), we show that a weighted sum of energy error, estimator, and Dirichlet oscillations satisfies a contraction property up to certain vanishing energy contributions. This result extends the analysis of Braess, Carstensen & Hoppe (2007) and Page & Praetorius (2010) to the case of non-homogeneous Dirichlet data as well as certain non-affine obstacles and introduces some energy estimates to overcome the lack of nestedness of the discrete spaces.

description: The elastic response of suspended NbSe3 nanowires is studied across the charge density wave phase transition. The nanoscale dimensions of the resonator lead to a large resonant frequency (10-100 MHz), bringing the excited phonon frequency in close proximity of the plasmon mode of the electronic condensate - a parameter window not accessible in bulk systems. The interaction between the phonon and plasmon modes strongly modifies the elastic properties at high frequencies. This is manifested in the nanomechanics of the system as a sharp peak in the temperature dependence of the elastic modulus (relative change of 12.8%) in the charge density wave phase.

description: Maps can play a critical role to the identification and communication of risk, and those associated with regional and district plans are among the most commonly referred to parts of a plan. However, currently there is no coordinated or regulated consistency for regional or district plan maps produced by local authorities under the Resource Management Act 1991. This study undertook a detailed review of international and national literature and practice on mapping, including the identification of key features of maps, mapping uncertainty in natural hazards and risk and international examples of coordinated mapping approaches from the European Union and New South Wales, Australia. In reviewing mapping within New Zealand’s planning framework, historical requirements under the Town and Country Planning Act 1953 and Town and Country Planning Act 1977 are outlined, and examples of current practice under the Resource Management Act 1991 from Christchurch, Dunedin and Thames-Coromandel are provided. The National Planning Standards, which came into effect in May 2019, are considered throughout; however, these do not make mapping requirements that specifically relate to natural hazards and risk. It is considered that there would be value in including a natural hazard and risk mapping standard in further development of the National Planning Standards, drawing on existing guidance and publications or consolidating existing guidance and publications into one document. This should be underpinned by a risk-based approach, consider recently adopted approaches relating to mapping and managing uncertainty, provide guidance on ‘overlapping’ hazards and consider how the policy framework can support the maps.

description: Energy efficient routing protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the most challenging task for researcher. Hierarchical routing protocols have been proved more energy efficient routing protocols, as compare to flat and location based routing protocols. Heterogeneity of nodes with respect to their energy level, has also added extra lifespan for sensor network. In this paper, we propose a Centralized Energy Efficient Clustering (CEEC) routing protocol. We design the CEEC for three level heterogeneous network. CEEC can also be implemented in multi-level heterogeneity of networks. For initial practical, we design and analyze CEEC for three level advance heterogeneous network. In CEEC, whole network area is divided into three equal regions, in which nodes with same energy are spread in same region.
