description: The minimal sub-Planckian axion inflation model accounts for a large scalar-to-tensor ratio via a spiralling trajectory in the field space of a complex field $Φ$. Here we consider how the predictions of the model are modified by Planck scale-suppressed corrections. In the absence of Planck corrections the model is equivalent to a $ϕ^{4/3}$ chaotic inflation model. Planck corrections become important when the dimensionless coupling $ξ$ of $|Φ|^{2}$ to the topological charge density of the strongly-coupled gauge sector $F \tilde{F}$ satisfies $ξ\sim 1$. For values of $|Φ|$ which allow the Planck corrections to be understood via an expansion in powers of $|Φ|^{2}/M_{Pl}^{2}$, we show that their effect is to produce a significant modification of the tensor-to-scalar ratio from its $ϕ^{4/3}$ chaotic inflation value without strongly modifying the spectral index. In addition, to leading order in $|Φ|^2/M_{Pl}^{2}$, the Planck modifications of $n_{s}$ and $r$ satisfy a consistency relation, $Δn_{s} = - Δr/16$. Observation of these modifications and their correlation would allow the model to be distinguished from a simple $ϕ^{4/3}$ chaotic inflation model and would also provide a signature for the influence of leading-order Planck corrections.

description: We demonstrate that an antiferromagnet can be employed for a highly efficient electrical manipulation of a ferromagnet. In our study we use an electrical detection technique of the ferromagnetic resonance driven by an in-plane ac-current in a NiFe/IrMn bilayer. At room temperature, we observe antidamping-like spin torque acting on the NiFe ferromagnet, generated by the in-plane current driven through the IrMn antiferromagnet. A large enhancement of the torque, characterized by an effective spin-Hall angle exceeding most heavy transition metals, correlates with the presence of the exchange-bias field at the NiFe/IrMn interface. It highlights that, in addition to strong spin-orbit coupling, the antiferromagnetic order in IrMn governs the observed phenomenon.

description: The realization that first- and second-generation Yukawa couplings can be probed by decays of the Higgs boson to a meson in association with a photon has renewed interest in such rare exclusive decays. We present here a detailed study of the rare $Z$-boson processes $Z \to J/ψ+γ$, $Z \to Υ+γ$, and $Z \to ϕ+γ$ that can serve as benchmarks for the analogous Higgs-boson decays. We include both direct-production and fragmentation contributions to these decays, and consider the leading QCD corrections and the relativistic corrections to the $J/ψ$ and $Υ$ processes. We present numerical predictions for the branching ratios that include a careful accounting of the theoretical uncertainties.

description: The understanding of sleep is of paramount importance from a scientific and clinical point of view. Brain disorders, such as Autism and Alzheimer, show disrupted sleep patterns that contribute to the progression of the disease. To obtain efficacious drugs, an important step is to study and test them in rodents, with the hope to extrapolate the findings to humans. In such preclinical studies, it is fundamental to correctly identify and classify sleep phases in order to compare them to the ones found in humans. However, very few works have been carried out in this regard. This Master thesis work is aimed at critically studying this aspect through an approach based on Machine Learning techniques applied to EEG and accelerometer signals. This work will lay the foundation to investigate the differences between wildtype and transgenic mice with the purpose of characterizing the sleep impairment biomarkers of the disease and its trajectory throughout the rodent's life.

description: Accurate estimation of the incidence of maltreatment-related child mortality depends on reliable child fatality review. We examined the inter-rater reliability of maltreatment designation for two Alaskan Child Death Review (CDR) panels. Two different multidisciplinary CDR panels each reviewed a series of 101 infant and child deaths (ages 0–4 years) in Alaska. Both panels independently reviewed identical medical, autopsy, law enforcement, child welfare, and administrative records for each death utilizing the same maltreatment criteria. Percent agreement for maltreatment was 64.7% with a weighted Kappa of 0.61 (95% CI 0.51, 0.70). Across maltreatment subtypes, agreement was highest for abuse (69.3%) and lowest for negligence (60.4%). Discordance was higher if the mother was unmarried or a smoker, if residence was rural, or if there was a family history of child protective services report(s). Incidence estimates did not depend on which panel's data were used. There is substantial room for improvement in the reliability of CDR panel assessment of maltreatment related mortality. Standardized decision guidance for CDR panels may improve the reliability of their data.

description: The phenotypic equilibrium, i.e. heterogeneous population of cancer cells tending to a fixed equilibrium of phenotypic proportions, has received much attention in cancer biology very recently. In previous literature, some theoretical models were used to predict the experimental phenomena of the phenotypic equilibrium, which were often explained by different concepts of stabilities of the models. Here we present a stochastic multi-phenotype branching model by integrating conventional cellular hierarchy with phenotypic plasticity mechanisms of cancer cells. Based on our model, it is shown that: (i) our model can serve as a framework to unify the previous models for the phenotypic equilibrium, and then harmonizes the different kinds of average-level stabilities proposed in these models; and (ii) path-wise convergence of our model provides a deeper understanding to the phenotypic equilibrium from stochastic point of view. That is, the emergence of the phenotypic equilibrium is rooted in the stochastic nature of (almost) every sample path, the average-level stability just follows from it by averaging stochastic samples.

description: This deliverable considers the ethical, legal (data protection), social and economic impacts of new and emerging technologies, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, which we call smart information systems (SIS). In this deliverable, we look forward to the year 2025 to consider how new and emerging technologies may raise various issues, regarding which policymakers and other stakeholders should consider what ethical guidelines, data protection policies and other measures we might need to address the issues now rather than five or six years from now when they may have fewer policy options. We have developed five scenarios, addressing five different technology clusters in five different areas – social care for senior citizens, information warfare, predictive policing, driverless cars and learning buddy robots. We engaged stakeholders in the development of these scenarios. Stakeholder engagement was an important purpose of the scenario construction process. In short, the scenarios are a way of exploring with stakeholders the issues raised by these advanced new technologies and developing recommendations for policymakers for dealing with those issues. This deliverable comprises this executive summary, an introduction, the five scenarios, and conclusions and recommendations.

Furthermore, we obtain exact solutions through to the presence of conserved quantities and the reduction of cosmological dynamical system. Example of particular cosmological models are considered.

description: Andreev reflection spectroscopy of ferromagnet/superconductor (FS) junctions is an important probe of spin polarization. We theoretically investigate spin-polarized transport in FS junctions in the presence of Rashba and Dresselhaus interfacial spin-orbit fields and show that Andreev reflection can be controlled by changing the magnetization orientation. We predict a giant in- and out-of-plane magnetoanisotropy of the junction conductance. If the ferromagnet is highly spin polarized---in the half-metal limit---the magnetoanisotropic Andreev reflection depends universally on the spin-orbit fields only. Our results show that Andreev reflection spectroscopy can be used for sensitive probing of interfacial spin-orbit fields in FS junction.

description: Prenatal exposure to organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) has been associated with different neurodevelopmental outcomes across different cohorts. A phenotypic approach may address some of these differences by incorporating information across scales and accounting for the complex correlational structure of neurodevelopmental outcomes. Additionally, Bayesian hierarchical modeling can account for confounding by collinear co-exposures. We use this framework to examine associations between prenatal exposure to OPs and behavior, executive functioning, and IQ assessed at age 6–9 years in a cohort of 404 mother/infant pairs recruited during pregnancy. We derived phenotypes of neurodevelopment with a factor analysis, and estimated associations between OP metabolites and these phenotypes in Bayesian hierarchical models for exposure mixtures. We report seven factors: 1) Impulsivity and Externalizing, 2) Executive Functioning, 3) Internalizing, 4) Perceptual Reasoning, 5) Adaptability, 6) Processing Speed, and 7) Verbal Intelligence. These, along with the Working Memory Index, were standardized and scaled so that positive values reflected positive attributes and negative values represented adverse outcomes. Standardized dimethylphosphate metabolites were negatively associated with Internalizing factor scores (β^ − 0.13, 95% CI − 0.26, 0.00) but positively associated with Executive Functioning factor scores (β^ 0.18, 95% CI 0.04, 0.31). Standardized diethylphosphate metabolites were negatively associated with the Working Memory Index (β^ − 0.17, 95% CI − 0.33, − 0.03). Associations with factor scores were generally stronger and more precise than associations with individual instrument-specific items. Factor analysis of outcomes may provide some advantages in etiological studies of childhood neurodevelopment by incorporating information across scales to reduce dimensionality and improve precision.

description: The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as an energy conversion device is considered as a promising technology due to its high operating efficiency, fuel flexibility and relatively low emissions. However high operating temperature related issues such as availability and durability of the materials to operate at that high temperature and for long-time thermal cycling need to be understood and overcome. These are vital areas for research to ensure availability and durability measures are maximised subject to minimising SOFC system cost. To obtain the desired power output, especially for industrial applications, several cells are linked together to form a stack and the stacks are linked together to form a SOFC power generating system. There are two ways to overcome these issues, first; to reduce the operating temperature and second; to have better thermal management of the systems. Decreasing the operating temperature however can lead to a reduction in overall performance of the system due to an increase in the resistance in the cell as well as the electrodes becoming less active. Thus, thermal management of SOFCs is significant for minimising performance losses and maximising cell/stack lifetime. [Continues.]

description: We obtain explicit expressions for the thermoelectric transport coefficients of a strongly coupled, planar medium in the presence of an orthogonal magnetic field and momentum-dissipating processes. The computations are performed within the gauge/gravity framework where the momentum dissipation mechanism is introduced by including a mass term for the bulk graviton. Relying on the structure of the computed transport coefficients and promoting the parameters to become dynamical functions, we propose a holography inspired phenomenology open to a direct comparison with experimental data from the cuprates.

The numerical prediction of the acoustic response of liquid-fuelled, swirl-stabilised flames

Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2019

description: This thesis sets out and tests several different approaches to predicting and understanding the acoustic response of an industrially representative liquid fuelled, swirl-stabilised, lean-burn fuel injector using numerical simulations. This work is important as it contributes to the design of fuel injectors with a low susceptibility for thermoacoustic instabilities or ‘rumble’.The flame transfer function (FTF), a transfer function relating the mass flow rate through the fuel injector and heat release rate of the combustor, has been chosen as the best way to describe the flame response as it can be used in conjunction with a acoustic field solver to predict the stability of a combustion system. The FTF of a chosen injector geometry has been predicted using conventional compressible methods and a novel incompressible method which has been shown to be consistent with the compressible method at two frequencies of forcing. This is in contrast with mass flow forced incompressible simulations that fail to reproduce the correct downstream flow field fluctuations. The single phase flow field and acoustic response of the injector has also been predicted and compared to experiments with good agreement.The injector hydrodynamic response has also been investigated along with how hydrodynamics, acoustics, the fuel spray and heat release are related. Acoustic forcing can be seen to actively alter the strength of large scale fluid structures, the mean pressure field and the mass flow rates through the different injector passages. The fuel spray may also couple with these structures causing additional local changes to the mixture fraction field and heat release rates. The effects of fuel spray SMD (Sauter Mean Diamter) and fuel spray injection velocity have on the flame have also been tested showing that the fuel spray atomisation, which can also be affected by acoustic forcing, may play a significant role in combustion instabilities.Several novel numerical methods have been developed and are also discussed in detail includ- ing methods relating to the reproduction of acoustic forcing in incompressible simulations and the reproduction of turbulent fields at inlets. Several innovative post-processing techniques have been employed to identify the relationship between large scale flow structures, the fuel spray and combustion.Modifications of the original injector geometry have been proposed to reduce the sensitivity of the injector to instabilities. These include better atomisation and mixing, better placement of swirl vanes, better aerodynamic design and improved hydrodynamic stability.

description: A study of the temperature (T) and density (n_s) dependence of conductivity σ(n_s,T) of a highly disordered, two-dimensional (2D) electron system in Si demonstrates scaling behavior consistent with the existence of a metal-insulator transition (MIT). The same critical exponents are found when the Coulomb interaction is screened by the metallic gate and when it is unscreened or long range. The results strongly suggest the existence of a disorder-dominated 2D MIT, which is not directly affected by the range of the Coulomb interactions.

This paper focuses on the example of the discrete integer quantum Hall effect, though our general method potentially has much wider applications.

Cosmology with anisotropic galaxy clustering from the combination of power spectrum and bispectrum

description: The apparent anisotropies of the galaxy clustering in observable redshift space provide a unique opportunity to simultaneously probe cosmic expansion and gravity on cosmological scales via the Alcock--Paczynski effect and redshift-space distortions. While the improved theoretical models have been proposed and developed to describe the apparent anisotropic clustering at weakly non-linear scales, the applicability of these models is still limited in the presence of the non--perturbative smearing effect caused by the randomness of the relative velocities. Although the cosmological constraint from the anisotropic clustering will be certainly improved with a more elaborate theoretical model, we here consider an alternative way by using the statistical power of both the power spectrum and bispectrum at large scales. Based on the Fisher matrix analysis, we estimate the benefit of combining the power spectra and bispectra, finding that the constraints on the cosmic expansion and growth of structure will be improved by a factor of two. This compensates for the loss of constraining power using the power spectrum alone due to the randomness of the relative velocities.

description: We construct the holographic dual of an electrically charged, localised defect in a conformal field theory at strong coupling, by applying a spatially dependent chemical potential. We find that the IR behaviour of the spacetime depends on the spatial falloff of the potential. Moreover, for sufficiently localized defects with large amplitude, we find that a new gravitational phenomenon occurs: a spherical extremal charged black hole nucleates in the bulk: a hovering black hole. This is a second order quantum phase transition. We construct this new phase with several profiles for the chemical potential and study its properties. We find an apparently universal behaviour for the entropy of the defect as a function of its amplitude. We comment on the possible field theory implications of our results.

description: Objective: To determine how gestational weight gain (GWG), categorized using the 2009 Institute of Medicine recommendations, relates to changes in offspring weight-for-age (WAZ), length-for-age (LAZ) and weight-for-length z-scores (WLZ) between early infancy and 3 years. Methods: Women with singleton infants were recruited from the third cohort of the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition Study (2001-2005). Term infants with at least one weight or length measurement during the study period were included (n = 476). Multivariable linear mixed effects regression models estimated longitudinal changes in WAZ, LAZ and WLZ associated with GWG. Results: In early infancy, compared with infants of women with adequate weight gain, those of women with excessive weight gains had higher WAZ, LAZ and WLZ. Excessive GWG ≥ 200% of the recommended amount was associated with faster rates of change in WAZ and LAZ and noticeably higher predicted mean WAZ and WLZ that persisted across the study period. Conclusions: GWG is associated with significant differences in offspring anthropometrics in early infancy that persisted to 3 years of age. More longitudinal studies that utilize maternal and paediatric body composition measures are necessary to understand the nature of this association.

For female artists to compete for eminence within the avant-garde as creative maestros of the modern nude was dubious, if not impossible. Even with newly gained access to life study, challenging masculine conventions of the genre or expressing sexual consciousness in art was considered unacceptable for women. Yet three important female artists who were painting in France during these years turned to the nude and the nude self-portrait and effectively claimed a place within this historical narrative. Suzanne Valadon, Émilie Charmy, and Marie Vassilieff attacked the nude without inhibition to express physical pleasure, contest gender binaries, and subvert time-honored approaches. They explored uncharted territory for female artists: the nude self-portrait, the male nude, and the lesbian body. Stylistically distinct, each artist transformed the nude in accordance with her own perception of gender, sexuality, and desire. Valadon, Charmy, and Vassilieff defied gender, as they effectively redefined the nude. Rather than a monolithic account of women artists in early twentieth-century France, this dissertation spotlights a heterogeneous trio of contemporaneous painters. No single theory or concept can succinctly illuminate their oeuvres. Therefore, each artist is the subject of a separate case study, with a different methodological approach. Chapter one posits that Valadon captured the female body through a specific lens – the model’s gaze. From this embodied vantage point, she disrupted the normative cultural frameworks for the portrayal of the female nude and represented woman as subject. Chapter two focuses on Valadon’s male nudes, overlooked by art historians. She experimented with diverse styles and media, creating various manifestations of the male form. Depicting the male body in consonance with her own desires, Valadon reversed traditional sex roles in art. Chapter three illuminates the parallels between Charmy’s nudes and the writings of Colette, in particular, the suggestive veiling and unveiling of female sexuality. I argue that Charmy crafted an aesthetics of female jouissance, collapsed the standard subject-object dichotomy, and recast the relationship between artist and model. Chapter four shows how in her Cubist nudes Vassilieff leveraged avant-garde styles and theories to unhinge normative conceptions of femininity and masculinity. Through her androgynous male and female bodies, Vassilieff fused genders and conceived a radically new image of the nude. Finally, chapter five examines the understudied nude self-portraits by all three artists and demonstrates how Valadon, Charmy, and Vassilieff reclaimed the body, asserted agency, and pioneered modern body imagery.

description: In this thesis, a family of integral representation results are proved for problems involving energies with  different dimensionalities and multiscale interactions. The  first part is work in the framework of functions of bounded Hessian, with an eye towards application to the theory of second order structured deformations. A relaxation theorem for BH functionals is obtained in the spirit of the 1992 work of Ambrosio and Dal Maso, Fonseca and Müller within the BV context. An integral representation theorem is established for abstract second order structured deformations functionals, using proof techniques from the global method for integral representation introduced in 1998 by Bouchitté, Fonseca and Mascarenhas. The second family of results concerns systems featuring simultaneous homogenization and phase transition  effects. These are studied via the technique of 􀀀-convergence, and multiple regimes
are considered corresponding to the relative scaling of the phase transition thickness and the scale of the heterogeneity. In particular, 􀀀-limit results are proved in the general case of vector-valued functions when the two rates are commensurate and when the frequency of the
heterogeneity is sufficiently small with respect to the thickness.

Critical String from Non-Abelian Vortex in Four Dimensions

description: In a class of non-Abelian solitonic vortex strings supported in certain N=2 super-Yang-Mills theories we search for the vortex which can behave as a critical fundamental string. We use the Polchinski-Strominger criterion of the ultraviolet completeness. We identify an appropriate four-dimensional bulk theory: it has the U(2) gauge group, the Fayet-Iliopoulos term and four flavor hypermultiplets. It supports semilocal vortices with the world-sheet theory for orientational (size) moduli described by the weighted CP(2,2) model. The latter is superconformal. Its target space is six-dimensional. The overall Virasoro central charge is critical. We show that the world-sheet theory on the vortex supported in this bulk model is the bona fide critical string.

description: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are complex, lifelong, neurodevelopmental conditions of largely unknown cause. They are much more common than previously believed, second in frequency only to mental retardation among the serious developmental disorders. Although a heritable component has been demonstrated in ASD etiology, putative risk genes have yet to be identified. Environmental risk factors may also play a role, perhaps via complex gene-environment interactions, but no specific exposures with significant population effects are known. A number of endogenous biomarkers associated with autism risk have been investigated, and these may help identify significant biologic pathways that, in turn, will aid in the discovery of specific genes and exposures. Future epidemiologic research should focus on expanding population-based descriptive data on ASDs, exploring candidate risk factors in large well-designed studies incorporating both genetic and environmental exposure data and addressing possible etiologic heterogeneity in studies that can stratify case groups and consider alternate endophenotypes.

description: We consider the Prandtl boundary layer equations on the half plane, with initial datum that lies in a weighted $H^1$ space with respect to the normal variable, and is real-analytic with respect to the tangential variable. The boundary trace of the horizontal Euler flow is taken to be a constant. We prove that if the Prandtl datum lies within $\varepsilon$ of a stable profile, then the unique solution of the Cauchy problem can be extended at least up to time $T_\varepsilon \geq \exp(\varepsilon^{-1}/ \log(\varepsilon^{-1}))$.

Autism and the environment
Creators: name: Daniels, J.L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Speculation that the environment plays a role in the development of autism primarily comes from two observations: a) although concordance among monozygotic twins is high, it is not perfect, and a specific “autism gene” or set of genes has not yet been identified; and b) the prevalence of autism is higher than previously thought — if it is rising, the rise might be associated with a shift in the environment. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder defined by impaired social interaction, communication deficits, restricted interests, and repetitive behavioral patterns. These traits can range from mild to very severe, and may be accompanied by cognitive impairment and other comorbidities. The autism spectrum disorder (ASD) classification includes three disorders: autistic disorder, Asperger disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not-otherwise-specified; however, there is no evidence that these diagnostic labels represent etiologically homogeneous groups.
The nature of the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background

description: We review the current understanding of the diffuse gamma-ray background (DGRB). The DGRB is what remains of the total measured gamma-ray emission after the subtraction of the resolved sources and of the diffuse Galactic foregrounds. It is interpreted as the cumulative emission of sources that are not bright enough to be detected individually. Yet, its exact composition remains unveiled. Well-established astrophysical source populations (e.g. blazars, misaligned AGNs, star-forming galaxies and millisecond pulsars) all represent guaranteed contributors to the DGRB. More exotic scenarios, such as dark matter annihilation or decay, may contribute as well. In this review, we describe how these components have been modeled in the literature and how the DGRB can be used to provide valuable information on each of them. We summarize the observational information currently available on the DGRB, paying particular attention to the most recent measurement of its intensity energy spectrum by the Fermi LAT Collaboration. We also discuss the novel analyses of the auto-correlation angular power spectrum of the DGRB and of its cross-correlation with tracers of the large-scale structure of the Universe. New data sets already (or soon) available are expected to provide further insight on the nature of this emission. By summarizing where we stand on the current knowledge of the DGRB, this review is intended both as a useful reference for those interested in the topic and as a means to trigger new ideas for further research.
