description: This paper addresses the problem of vortex formation during a rapid quench in a superconducting film. It builds on previous work showing that in a local gauge theory there are two distinct mechanisms of defect formation, based on fluctuations of the scalar and gauge fields, respectively. We show how vortex formation in a thin film differs from the fully two-dimensional case, on which most theoretical studies have focused. We discuss ways of testing theoretical predictions in superconductor experiments and analyse the results of recent experiments in this light.

description: Drought can have large, negative impacts on livelihoods and development outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. This highlights the need for drought response policies that can mitigate these impacts. We evaluate the policy response to the 2014–15 drought in Brazil that reduced the supply of water to the largest city in South America, São Paulo, by approximately one-third. Using microdata on household water consumption and a difference-in-difference design, we find that a penalty-based instrument induced household conservation behaviour but that a reward-based instrument did not. We examine why the reward-based instrument, which was both ineffective and expensive, was implemented at all. Our suggested explanation lies in political budget cycle theory. Exploratory tests imply that the reward-based instrument increased the share of votes to the incumbent governor. Penalty-based instruments are the technically effective drought response, but water sector decision makers in developing countries may need to contend with the distortionary effect of electoral cycles to implement them.

description: An inverse polynomial has a Chebyshev series expansion 1/\sum(j=0..k)b_j*T_j(x)=\sum'(n=0..oo) a_n*T_n(x) if the polynomial has no roots in [-1,1]. If the inverse polynomial is decomposed into partial fractions, the a_n are linear combinations of simple functions of the polynomial roots. If the first k of the coefficients a_n are known, the others become linear combinations of these with expansion coefficients derived recursively from the b_j's. On a closely related theme, finding a polynomial with minimum relative error towards a given f(x) is approximately equivalent to finding the b_j in f(x)/sum_(j=0..k)b_j*T_j(x)=1+sum_(n=k+1..oo) a_n*T_n(x), and may be handled with a Newton method providing the Chebyshev expansion of f(x) is known.

description: We describe a model of jet quenching in nuclear collisions at RHIC energies. In the model, jet quenching is to be caused by the interruption of jet formation by nucleons arriving at the position of jet formation in a time shorter than the jet formation time. Our mechanism predicts suppression of high-pt spectra also in d+Au reactions.

For magnetic fields for which the energies for the excitation of free carriers and Mn spins are almost identical an anomalously large Knight shift is observed. Our findings suggests the existence of a magnetic field induced ferromagnetic order in these structures, which is in agreement with recent theoretical predictions [J. K{ö}nig and A. H.

title: Modulation of Immune Checkpoints by Tumour Extracellular Vesicles
Creators: name: Shahaj, Eriomina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Melanoma extracellular vesicles (EVs) are endowed with pro-tumourigenic features and can condition immunity, favouring immune escape. Immune checkpoints (IC), expressed by immune and cancerous cells, regulate immune responses. BRAF and MEK inhibitors, a standard treatment for BRAF-mutated melanoma patients, can condition tumour cell IC expression. I investigated the IC expression in melanoma specimens, cell lines and EVs, in association with drug resistance, a common event during treatment, to uncover potential targets for immunotherapy. IC were studied in melanoma and immune cells interacting with melanoma EVs from drug sensitive and resistant cell line pairs with CD81GFP-tagged EVs. IC were determined by qRT-PCR, western blot and latex beads flow cytometry on cell line and plasma EVs, isolated by ultracentrifugation and commercial kits. EVs were measured by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis in whole plasma and after isolation from cell lines. In melanoma lesions CD155, HVEM and GAL9 transcripts displayed a modulation in association with drug resistance. In cell lines, PDL1, PDL2 and CD155 increased, while GAL9 and HVEM decreased with resistance. PDL1, PDL2 and GAL9 modulations were influenced by IFNγ and regulated by CCL2 and specific miRNAs. EVs carried IC and reflected the IC expression pattern of originating melanoma cells. EVs from resistant melanoma cells transferred drug resistance-associated features to sensitive counterparts; while EVs from both, sensitive and resistant melanoma cells induced in monocytes a myeloid-derived suppressor cell phenotype accompanied with the increase of PDL1 and HVEM expression. During therapy patients’ plasma EVs displayed modulations in number and size. Their IC, as protein and transcripts, associated with response to treatment. BRAF and MEK inhibitors modulate melanoma IC expression and cognate EVs reflect originating cells, potentially representing surrogates of melanoma resistance status. The effects of IC-carrying EVs on interacting cells suggest their involvement in tumour immune escape, and their modulations may reflect immune activation during therapy.

description: Metastability appears when a thermodynamic system, such as supercooled water (which is liquid below freezing temperature), lands on the "wrong" side of a phase transition, and remains for a very long time in a state different from its equilibrium state. There exist numerous mathematical models describing this phenomenon, including lattice models with stochastic dynamics. In this text, we will be interested in metastability in parabolic stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Some of these equations are ill-posed, and only thanks to very recent progress in the theory of so-called singular SPDEs does one how to construct solutions, via a renormalisation procedure. The study of metastability in these systems reveals unexpected links with the theory of spectral determinants, including Fredholm and Carleman--Fredholm determinants.

description: Although the inverse farm size-productivity relationship (IR) is sometimes used to motivate arguments in favour of smallholder-led agricultural development, it remains unclear what drives this relationship. It may be attributed to market imperfections that compel small farms to use land more intensively than large farms. Using a three-wave longitudinal household survey from Tanzania, we examine whether the intensity of the IR is related to local factor market activity for land, labour, credit, and animal and machine traction. The IR holds in Tanzania when family labour is either not counted or valued at its shadow cost, though it disappears when family labour is valued at the prevailing local agricultural wage rate. Moreover, the IR is significantly weakened in regions with relatively active agricultural factor markets, such as for land and mechanization services. This suggests that the IR is at least partly driven by imperfections in rural factor markets. As household participation in agricultural factor markets continues to rise, the IR may be expected to weaken or even reverse.

Elliptic potentials which have the sinusoidal optical potential as a special case are considered. We construct exact nonstationary solutions to the mean-field equations of motion. Among the solutions are two types of temporally-periodic solutions -- in one type there are condensate oscillations between neighboring potential wells, while in the other the condensates oscillate from side to side within the wells. Our numerical studies of the stability of these solutions suggests the existence of one-parameter families of stable nonstationary solutions.

description: We investigate the micro-level determinants of labour force participation of urban married women in eight low- and middle-income economies: Bolivia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Jordan, South Africa, Tanzania, and Vietnam. In order to understand what drives changes and differences in participation rates since the early 2000s, we build a unified empirical framework that allows for comparative analyses across time and space. We find that the returns to the characteristics of women and their families differ substantially across countries, and this explains most of the between-country differences in participation rates. Overall, the economic, social, and institutional constraints that shape women’s labour force participation remain largely country-specific. Nonetheless, rising education levels and declining fertility consistently increased participation rates, while rising household incomes contributed negatively in relatively poorer countries, suggesting that a substantial share of women work out of economic necessity.

description: In Vietnam, tea has a long and glorious history, rich in tradition and cultural significance. Recently, it has become one of the country’s primary industrial export crops. However, excessive use of pesticides and agro-chemicals in tea production has produced negative impacts on the environment and to human health. Conversion to organic tea production reduces the environmental threat from pesticide and agro-chemical usage and enables organic tea producing farmers to be eligible for receiving a price premium for their organic product. Results from the adoption and risk analyses for organic tea production in the Thai Nguyen province, show that the premium price and outside support play major roles in increasing adoption rates for organic tea production. Economic analyses also show that removing either the premium price for organic tea or outside support, reduces the probability of adopting organic tea production to zero. Among the policy scenarios tested, the guaranteed premium price has the largest effect for increasing adoption rates and sustaining organic tea production in the Thai Nguyen province. The premium price policy can increase the probability of adopting organic tea production up 90% while a tax on conventional tea output values can only increase adoption rate by 9 %.

Lett. {\bf 91}, 077201 (2003)], we develop a theory of collective spin excitations in quasi-two-dimensional diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs). Our theory explains the anomalously large Knight shift found in these experiments as a consequence of collective coupling between Mn-ion local moments and itinerant-electron spins. We use this theory to discuss the physics of ferromagnetism in (II,Mn)VI quantum wells, and to speculate on the temperature at which it is likely to be observed in n-type modulation doped systems.

description: The last three decades have seen an increase in the number of targeted health insurance programmes being implemented in developing countries. However, little is known about their intra-household impacts on household members who are not the intended beneficiaries. Using variation introduced by a universal health insurance programme targeted to children below the age of six in Vietnam, I assess the programme’s impacts on expenditures and labour supply of ineligible children. I find that beneficiary households decrease spending on health and education and decrease leisure time for ineligible children relative to non-beneficiary households after the programme is introduced. These results provide new evidence to the intra-household literature on unintended impacts of targeted programmes on resource allocations for children who are not eligible. They also call to attention, the need for concurrent interventions for older children when implementing early life health interventions in developing countries.
title: The Listening Practices Of Secondary School Students Whilst They Are Studying
Creators: name: Malibha-Pinchbeck, Memory
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis discusses why and how fifteen to twenty-one year old students in formal education listen to music or religious scriptures during study. The fieldwork for this research was conducted in two educational institutes in London: a large further education college (FE) and a small fee-paying academy of Islamic faith. My study combines sociological and ethnographic approaches, most notably from sociology of education and ethnomusicology. The theoretical framework used merges Bourdieusian critical theory and Wengerian social theory to analyse student learning experiences, listening practices and personal contexts within a critical sociocultural frame. This involved analysing how students enact their agency within the parameters of educational, social, economic and cultural structures. A mixed-method ethnographic methodological approach was used, which consisted of short-term classroom observations, in-depth narrative interviews, and a mixed survey using both open- and closed-ended questions. Data collection resulted in a total of 30 surveys returned, 7 classroom observations, 5 teacher interviews, and 10 student interview transcripts from 20 student interviewees. Interviews were conducted face-to-face, at institutes and one-to-one or in groups. The data collected was analysed using narrative inquiry and thematic analysis. Findings showed that the practice of listening during study is connected to a student’s learning and personal contexts. In addition to this, students were found to use different listening strategies to manage different economic, social and cultural conditions, and to use their recordings to enact accommodative agency within each learning context. They adopted this strategy to fit in, and conform, rather than resist authority and rebel against commonly accepted institutional and societal educational aims and objectives.
Characterization of quantum states based on creation complexity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The creation complexity of a quantum state is the minimum number of elementary gates required to create it from a basic initial state. The creation complexity of quantum states is closely related to the complexity of quantum circuits, which is crucial in developing efficient quantum algorithms that can outperform classical algorithms. A major question unanswered so far is what quantum states can be created with a number of elementary gates that scales polynomially with the number of qubits. In this work we first show for an entirely general quantum state it is exponentially hard (requires a number of steps that scales exponentially with the number of qubits) to determine if the creation complexity is polynomial. We then show it is possible for a large class of quantum states with polynomial creation complexity to have common coefficient features such that given any candidate quantum state we can design an efficient coefficient sampling procedure to determine if it belongs to the class or not with arbitrarily high success probability. Consequently partial knowledge of a quantum state's creation complexity is obtained, which can be useful for designing quantum circuits and algorithms involving such a state.

description: The extended family household, in which multiple generations or married siblings of a family live together, is common in developing countries. We conducted a series of public goods experiments in such households in five villages in rural North India to shed light on decision-making efficiency within this household structure. In this experiment, we offered household members the choice to receive either a lower amount over which they have private control or a higher payout that becomes a common resource. We measure efficiency as the degree to which individuals are willing to forego personal rewards for larger, collective rewards. We find that relationships within extended households are not equally efficient, with the relationship between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law particularly problematic. Supplementary survey and qualitative evidence points to the role of decision-making power, with young, married women lacking the power to assert their preferences in extended households and resorting to actions that reduce the overall efficiency of the household.

description: It is a hard and important problem to find the criterion of the set of positive-definite matrixes which can be written as reduced density operators of a multi-partite quantum state. This problem is closely related to the study of many-body quantum entanglement which is one of the focuses of current quantum information theory. We give several results on the necessary compatibility relations between a set of reduced density matrixes, including: (i) compatibility conditions for the one-party reduced density matrixes of any $N_A\times N_B$ dimensional bi-partite mixed quantum state, (ii) compatibility conditions for the one-party and two-party reduced density matrixes of any $N_A\times N_B\times N_C$ dimensional tri-partite mixed quantum state, and (iii) compatibility conditions for the one-party reduced matrixes of any $M$-partite pure quantum state with the dimension $N^{\otimes M}$.

description: We introduce a procedure to measure the density matrix of a material system. The density matrix is addressed locally in this scheme by applying a sequence of delayed light pulses. The procedure is based on the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) technique. It is shown that a series of population measurements on the target state of the population transfer process yields unambiguous information about the populations and coherences of the addressed states, which therefore can be determined.

description: We study the intrinsic effects of dimensional reduction on the transport equation of a perfectly two-dimensional Landau-Fermi liquid. By employing the orthogonality condition on the 2D analog of the Fourier-Legendre expansion, we find that the equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of the fermionic system differ from its three-dimensional counterpart, with the latter changing drastically. Specifically, the modified Landau-Silin kinetic equation is heavily dependent on the solution of a non-trivial contour integral specific to the 2D liquid. We find the solution to this integral and its generalizations, effectively reducing the problem of solving for the collective excitations of a collisonless two-dimensional Landau-Fermi liquid to solving for the roots of some high-degree polynomial. This analysis ultimately lays the mathematical foundation for the exploration of atypical behavior in the non-equilibrium properties of two-dimensional fermionic liquids in the context of the Landau quasiparticle paradigm.

description: Although low tax morale hits developing countries hardest, little is known about its determinants in those countries. This paper examines the impact of trust in public institutions and the neighbourhood on individual tax morale in four African countries. First, the paper provides theoretical foundations of such a relationship. Further, the paper uses the World Value Survey to estimate the effects of trust in public institutions and the neighbourhood on individual tax morale. The identification strategy employs the instrumental variables method and relies on historical data on the slave trade and the literature on the cultural heritage of trust. The paper finds that trust in public institutions and the neighbourhood are associated with tax morale in Algeria, Ghana, Morocco, and Nigeria. The findings are robust to an alternative identification strategy, additional controls, and a falsification test.

description: The continuous development of superconducting electronics is encouraging several studies on hybrid Josephson junctions (JJs) based on superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor (SFS) heterostructures, as either spintronic devices or switchable elements in quantum and classical circuits. Recent experimental evidence of macroscopic quantum tunneling and of an incomplete 0-pi transition in tunnel-ferromagnetic spin-filter JJs could enhance the capabilities of SFS JJs also as active elements. Here, we provide a self-consistent electrodynamic characterization of NbN/GdN/NbN spin-filter JJs as a function of the barrier thickness, disentangling the high-frequency dissipation effects due to the environment from the intrinsic low-frequency dissipation processes. The fitting of the IV characteristics at 4.2K and at 300mK by using the Tunnel Junction Microscopic model allows us to determine the subgap resistance Rsg, the quality factor Q and the junction capacitance C. These results provide the scaling behavior of the electrodynamic parameters as a function of the barrier thickness, which represents a fundamental step for the feasibility of tunnel ferromagnetic JJs as active elements in classical and quantum circuits, and are of general interest for tunnel junctions other than conventional SIS JJs.

description: In a recent paper by Link, it was pointed out that the the standard picture of the neutron star core, composed of a mixture of a neutron superfluid and a proton type-II superconductor, is inconsistent with observations of long period precession in isolated pulsars. In the following we will show that intervortex force between the magnetic flux tubes may be attractive resulting in a type-I (rather than type-II) superconductor. In this case the magnetic field cannot exist in the form of magnetic flux tubes, supporting Link's observation. This behavior of the system is due to the strong interaction between the proton-neutron Cooper pairs, which was previously ignored. We also calculate the critical magnetic fields H_c and H_c2 for type-I/II superconductors. These results also support our claim of type-I superconductivity in the cores of neutron stars.

title: An Investigation of the Sound Field Above a Surface With Periodically-Spaced Roughness
Creators: name: Stronach, Alex
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Outdoor audio-frequency acoustic signals can be amplified passively at selected frequencies by exploiting the interaction of incident sound with surfaces composed of periodically-spaced rectangular strips on an acoustically-hard base. When sound is incident near grazing on acoustically-rigid ground with roughness composed from elements with periodic sub-wavelength spacing, air-borne acoustic surface waves are generated due to a high imaginary-component to the surface impedance as well as the formation and coupling of quarter-wavelength resonances in the gaps. This allows for passive amplification of acoustic signals at the surface wave frequency. This thesis provides a detailed, systematic study into the total sound field generated above surfaces with periodic roughness and how the topography and geometry affect the generation of air-borne acoustic surface waves. Surfaces with a high number of scattering edges per wavelength result in strong surface wave generation due to high reactive component to the impedance. As the gap is increased thereby reducing the number of edges per wavelength, the gap resonances couple less strongly and the surface behaves as a rough surface. As the number of edges per wavelength approaches one, the signal enhancement is provided by Bragg diffraction. Through measurements and predictions, it is found that surface wave enhancement is not detected by a collocated geophone in sand via acoustic-seismic coupling since the sand is sufficiently absorbing so that no surface wave is detected. This systematic study provides a detailed insight into the formation of audio-frequency surface waves generated over periodically-rough surfaces.
