description: This thesis is about the ways in which Thomas Middleton and William Rowley’s play The Changeling has been edited, performed, and archived in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It proposes a more integrated way of looking at the histories of performances and texts than is usually employed by the institutions of Shakespeare and early modern studies. Crucially, it suggests that documented archival remains of performance should be admitted as textual witnesses of a play’s history, and given equal status with academic, scholarly editions. I argue that—despite at least a century of arguments to the contrary—performance is still considered secondary to text, and that this relationship needs to become more balanced, particularly since the canon has begun to expand and early modern plays beyond Shakespeare have begun to see more stage time in recent years. In addition, I begin to theorise social media as archives of performance, and begin to suggest ways forward for archiving the performance of early modern drama in the digital turn. In order to support these arguments, I offer a series of twentieth- and twenty-first-century productions of The Changeling as case studies. Through these case studies, I seek to make connections between The Changeling as text, The Changeling as performance, and the various other texts and performances that it has interacted with throughout its life since 1961. In presenting analyses of these texts and performances side-by-side, within the same history, I aim to show the interdependency of these two usually separated strands of early modern studies and make a case for greater integration of the two in both editorial, historiographical, and performance practices

description: Objectives: The main objective of this poster is to present a pilot project in determining emerging population health themes and identifying key research-enabling datasets ahead of time. At present, large-scale databanks, such as the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank at Swansea University Medical School, already manage large quantities of health and administrative linked datasets. While these datasets are valuable for research purposes, complementary datasets may be required by collaborating researchers to answer detailed population health research questions. Dataset acquisition can take several years, which is a serious delay to a project with time-limited funding. The ability to pre-emptively acquire datasets so that these are ready for use before a researcher requests them would obviously be beneficial. However, a recent study conducted by the Farr Cipher team at Swansea University identified over 800 health and administrative datasets in Wales alone. With limited resources such as available funding and time, which of these datasets is worth its effort in acquiring? Approach: Bibliometrics has long been a means of measuring the impact of papers on the wider academic community. Lately, the focus of analyses has been extended to include the topics, authorship and citations of the publications. Existing bibliometric data mining techniques suggest that it is possible to identify emerging topic trends and through this assist in prioritising dataset identification and acquisition. The project explored mining available literature through bibliometric analysis in order to predict emerging trends and through these identify potentially relevant and valuable datasets for acquisition on behalf of the Dementias Platform UK (DPUK). Literature searches were conducted for papers published on the topic of “dementia” over the last 20 years. Additional keywords and topics were extracted to identify emerging areas of research and clinical interest. These were then compared against an existing list of over 800 Welsh datasets currently not held in SAIL. Results: Results focus on: • Using bibliometric methods in the context of DPUK cohort publications • Identifying emerging trends in the field of dementia research. • Identifying and prioritising datasets which might be useful for the SAIL Databank to acquire

C. A. Doxiadis and the Islamabad master plan: social engineering in a developing world, from the individual to the global
Creators: name: Sakka, Anastasia
Publisher: name: The University of Edinburgh
Year: 2022

description: The end of empires signified the emergence of new nation-states, bringing to the fore a complex nexus of needs on a global scale. The transfer of Western expertise to the Global South and the dissemination of a modernist lexicon emerged as key parameters in addressing these needs. Post-colonial Pakistan constitutes a significant part of the discourse on nation-state building through transnational strategies of modernism, and the Greek architect and urban planner Constantinos Doxiadis was one of the main actors, although his contribution is only partially acknowledged. In this context, the Doxiadis master plan of Islamabad—the tabula rasa federal capital of Pakistan—becomes the focus of this research. The thesis is fundamentally archive-based and its primary source material is drawn from the extensive professional archive of Doxiadis. Islamabad was chosen as a case study that exemplifies the broader parameters of the evolution of Doxiadis’ theories of modernist global urbanism and the science of Ekistics as they evolved in the late 1950s. In this way the primary research question is posed: how did Islamabad reflect Doxiadis’ particular ideas on the science of the city? Secondary research questions that follow are: to what extent was the Islamabad plan distinctive within his body of work? Furthermore, and moving from the specific to the more general context: how were Doxiadis’ theories of urban planning expected to meet the needs of a developing world? The thesis’ main argument is that the master plan of Islamabad was informed by predetermined requirements of a socio-economic reform; a modernist reform that equally underpinned nation-state building, development and globalisation. The main findings of the research that formulate Doxiadis’ particular ideas of urban planning and in addition their impact on global development can be summarised as follows: First, the hierarchical ordering as defined by Ekistics made it possible to connect and coordinate all aspects of human existence. This is identified as a significant tool of analysis and synthesis in spatial terms and beyond. Additionally, the conceptualisation of urbanity as a system of life introduces a methodological approach to urban planning that focuses on the relationships and management of everything that constitutes the system. This is interpreted as a shift from the functional modernist city to a functioning system that by definition transcends the boundaries and the material hypostasis of the city. This approach made possible the emergence of Ecumenopolis, which is interpreted as the conceptualisation of urbanisation and globalisation into one scheme. But, above all, the concept of Ecumenopolis completed Doxiadis’ theory of hierarchically ordered systems of life and justified the logic of acting locally while thinking globally.

description: In the United States, the buildings sector is responsible for approximately 40% of the national carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2 is created during the generation of heat and electricity, and has been linked to climate change, acid rain, a variety of health threats, surface water depletion, and the destruction of natural habitats. Building energy modeling is a powerful educational tool that building owners, architects, engineers, city planners, and policy makers can use to make informed decisions. The aim of this thesis is to simulate the reduction in CO2 emissions that may be achieved for three commercial buildings located in Salt Lake City, UT. The following two questions were used to guide this process: 1. How much can a building's annual CO2 emissions be reduced through a specific energy efficiency upgrade or policy? 2. How much can a building's annual CO2 emissions be reduced through the addition of a photovoltaic (PV) array? How large should the array be? Building energy simulations were performed with the Department of Energy's EnergyPlus software, commercial reference building models, and TMY3 weather data. The chosen models were a medium office building, a primary school, and a supermarket. Baseline energy consumption data were simulated for each model in order to identify changes that would have a meaningful impact. Modifications to the buildings construction and operation were considered before a PV array was incorporated. These modifications include (1) an improved building envelope, (2) reduced lighting intensity, and (3) modified HVAC temperature set points. The PV array sizing was optimized using a demand matching approach based on the method of least squares. The arrays tilt angle was optimized using the golden section search algorithm. Combined, energy efficiency upgrades and the PV array reduced building CO2 emissions by 58.6, 54.0, and 52.2% for the medium office, primary school, and supermarket, respectively. However, for these models, it was determined that the addition of a PV array is not feasible from a purely economic viewpoint. Several avenues for expansion of this research are presented in Chapter 5.
Generalization challenges in semantic parsing
Creators: name: Wang, Bailin
Publisher: name: The University of Edinburgh
Year: 2022

description: Semantic parsing is the task of translating natural language utterances onto machine-interpretable programs, which can be executed against a real-world environment to obtain desired responses (e.g., a SQL query against a relational database). It is an established paradigm for building natural language interfaces. However, most existing semantic parsing systems are built only for the conventional yet limited setting, i.e., in the context of a single fixed database. Moreover, they are typically data-hungry, i.e., they require a large number of examples for training. This thesis focuses on extending the limited setting to a diverse spectrum of settings inspired by real-life scenarios, and addressing the generalization challenges that arise during such extensions. We consider three aspects of semantic parsing along which the conventional setting deviates based on some real-life scenarios. Firstly, we consider transferability, a property indicating whether a semantic parser is applicable on unseen domains (e.g., unseen databases), leading to cross-domain setting. Secondly, we consider three forms of supervision. Apart from standard, yet expensive, utterance-program pairs, we investigate settings where cheap supervision in the form of utterance-response pairs is given, or even no supervision is at all. Thirdly, we study linguistic coverage i.e., the extent to which a semantic parser can cover the space of utterances. In practice, it is operationalized by investigating the degree to which a parser can generalize to unseen utterances that are combinations of known fragments (e.g., phrases), which reflects the generative nature of natural languages. For example, we ask how well a parser can generalize to long utterances if exposed in training to only short ones. From the machine learning perspective, the practical settings introduced above can be formulated as two kinds of generalization challenges: settings driven by transferability and linguistic coverage require out-of-distribution generalization as test data in such settings diverge from the observed training data in certain aspects (e.g., domains, length of utterances); settings based on alternative forms of supervision require learning from weak learning signals. The main contribution of this thesis is to address the generalization challenges via: 1) injecting alignment-based model biases into semantic parsers and; 2) designing specialized objectives with model-agnostic learning biases to train semantic parsers, in the hope that the resulting parsers can be more robust (e.g., to domain shifts) and take better advantage of weak learning signals. Empirical results on a wide range of semantic parsing benchmarks show that our methodologies are effective in handling the generalization challenges of interest, thus pushing existing natural language interfaces one step further towards real usage.

description: This work provides a better understanding of radionuclides associated with shale formations and an increase in their concentration accompanying oil and gas production. The mineralogical and inorganic composition of various hydrocarbon rich shales was evaluated with spectroscopic, microscopic, and mass spectrometric techniques. Microstructural analysis by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) determined the quartz, feldspar, dolomite, calcite, and clay composition of the shale. Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) revealed the presence of inorganic metals (i.e. U, Th, Pb, etc.) near hydrocarbon rich regions of the shale. Elemental analysis of the bulk mineral phases via multi-collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) revealed higher concentration of U and Th associated with the organics in shale.  A combination of the geochemical and mineralogical data suggests that the anoxic conditions during deposition may have led to the enrichment of the redox-sensitive elements (i.e. U, V, and Mo, etc.) in the Utica and Niobrara formations, while an oxic depositional environment led to a depletion of redox-sensitive elements in the Green River and Mancos formations. Furthermore, our data suggest that rare-earth elements (REE) enrichment is of terrigenous origins, supporting anoxic diagenesis. Knowledge of the inorganic composition, including Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (TENORM) of hydrocarbon rich shales, is essential for the development of advanced environmental techniques that extract the hydrocarbons without polluting the surrounding environment.
Simulating evolution of poroelasticity and deformation in Green River oil shale under in situ pyrolysis

description: Simulating in situ pyrolysis requires an understanding of rock mechanics, reservoir engineering, thermodynamics, heat transfer, reaction kinetics, and mass transfer.  In order to account for the possibility of subsidence, a model of poroelasticity is also required for oil shale.  Poroelastic models couple deformation of porous media with fluid flow in and out of pores, while accounting for stress-response of the fluid.  When pyrolyzed, kerogen in oil shale decomposes into lighter molecular weight organic compounds, such as bitumen, oil, gas, and char.  Pyrolization greatly reduces the mechanical capability of oil shale, while producing oil and gas.  A simulation which accounts for the mechanical transformation and deformation of oil shale during in situ pyrolysis was implemented using Itasca Consulting Groups FLAC3D. While a weakening, increasingly porous rock matrix might be expected to collapse, the compression is counteracted by growing pore fluid pressure.  Due to its large residence time, a significant fraction of the oil produced in situ is likely to be lost through decomposition.  In this simulation, the stresses of pore pressure and confining pressure mostly cancelled each other out.  The analysis results may reflect the complexity of the problem more than they shed light on the true nature of in situ pyrolysis.  In principle, increasing pore pressures could cause fractures to open during pyrolysis, but the simulation is not equipped to represent flow from zone to zone via fracture.  Should fracturing be predicted, a module has been developed to relieve excess pressure by bleeding fluid into noncommunicated fractures for each zone.  Alternatively, if tensile pressure is predicted, and fluid has been stored in the simulated fractures, the module will release fluid back into the geometry, thus preserving mass balance in the system.
Petrophysical and diagenetic characteristics of the permian white rim sandstone, southeast utah

description: The Permian White Rim Sandstone of southeast Utah is a distinctive, porous and permeable, white-colored unit surrounded by fine-grained red beds. In the Elaterite Basin, the White Rim Sandstone is well exposed and acts as a reservoir for tar. White Rim deposits are dominantly eolian in origin, but a thin (0.5-6 meters thick) veneer of shallow marine deposits blankets an erosional paleotopographic high in the Elaterite Basin. Superimposed on the depositional facies are three diagenetic facies that impart white (bleached), red, orange, and brown coloration in the form of disseminated and concretionary iron cement. A yellow alteration zone extends up to 20 meters (32 ft) into the underlying Permian Organ Rock Shale and overlying Triassic Moenkopi Formation. Diagenetic coloration is used as a physical proxy for fluid flow that records discrete stages of diagenesis and highlights depositional heterogeneity on multiple scales. Field, petrographic and geochemical analyses indicate that the White Rim Sandstone underwent three diagenetic stages: (1) early oxidation of the reservoir and precipitation of iron, (2) iron mobilization (bleaching) and reprecipitation of pyrite cement by hydrocarbon migration through the reservoir, and (3) oxidation of pyrite to iron oxide minerals. Field and petrographic observations, and quantitative permeability analyses indicate four scales of heterogeneity exist in the White Rim Sandstone in order of decreasing size: (1) depositional unit, (2) bed-set, (3) internal lamination, and (4) depositional grain-texture scales. Reservoir heterogeneity is highly dependent on grain packing. Authigenic cement phases also act as a record of reservoir conditions through diagenesis, providing indirect information on pH, reservoir compaction and fluid interactions. This study has three broad applications to understanding subsurface fluid behavior. (1) The physical diagenetic records provide insight into the history of hydrocarbons in a porous and permeable sandstone, and can be used in petroleum exploration to help determine hydrocarbon migration timing and pathways. (2) The mineralogic and textural characteristics of authigenic cement phases help to assess the complex history of White Rim Sandstone diagenesis through deep time. (3) Secondary iron precipitation highlights large- and small-scale heterogeneity that must be well understood for applications of CO2 sequestration in similar eolian reservoir units.

description: In this thesis I present novel findings of microstructural remodeling that occurs during dyssynchronous heart failure (DHF) and the ability for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) to reverse this remodeling. DHF is an advanced disease state that occurs in a large portion of patients suffering from heart failure. Mechanical dyssynchrony between the left and right ventricles of the heart, the hallmark of DHF, results in significantly increased heterogeneity of stress in the cardiac wall. DHF severely limits cardiac performance, decreasing quality of life and increasing mortality. The main therapy for treating DHF is CRT, a therapy in which mechanical synchrony is restored to the ventricles via electrical pacing. The success of CRT varies widely. Scientific knowledge surrounding DHF and CRT is surprisingly sparse for how widespread the disease and therapy are. A better understanding of the subcellular structure and function altered during DHF will improve our understanding of the disease and potentially help develop novel therapies and even lead to development of assays capable of better predicting success of current therapies. Here we use confocal microscopy to explore protein distributions within isolated cardiomyocytes and intact tissue, Ca2+ handling during activation and relaxation of stimulated cardiomyocytes, and to develop a method for quantifying strain in 2D image sequences of contracting cardiomyocytes at an unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. Specifically I will demonstrate that ?-actinin, the protein comprising the majority of the sarcomeric Z-disk, is significantly altered during DHF and that CRT is able to partially reverse this remodeling. I will then present findings on remodeling of the transverse tubular system and associated ryanodine receptor clusters, both crucial components of excitation-contraction coupling. In particular, I will show that these structures exhibit subcellular heterogeneity during DHF, affecting excitation-contraction coupling. This heterogeneity is reduced after CRT, indicating previously unknown capabilities of restoration. Finally, I will present a novel method to characterize strain within contracting cardiomyocytes. This method expands on previous methods by providing a regional 2D strain tensor at unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution, allowing more accurate description of the mechanical properties of the cell. Together, this work makes a significant contribution to the understanding of DHF and CRT.

Redox photochemistry of oxidatively modified nucleobases
Creators: name: Li, Xibo

description: Present-day organisms recruit flavin as a redox cofactor for various metabolic transformations. In present-day metabolism, it is biosynthesized via several enzyme-catalyzed steps from guanosine triphosphate (GTP). It is hypothesized that life originated from RNA on the primordial Earth. If this hypothesis holds true for the so-called "RNA World", there should be a counterpart for the most critical molecules we encounter in present-day biology. Thus, we asked what molecule(s) could predate a present-day flavin to support primitive metabolisms. We also try to answer why Mother Nature selected flavin over many other potential candidate molecules from the photophysical perspective. Toward these goals, we studied the photoredox properties of some oxidatively modified nucleobases. Specifically, we studied 5-hydroxypyrimidine and its ability to photochemically repair a thymine dimer in double stranded DNA. It was found that the repair rate is dependent on many factors, including pH, base pairing, and its position relative to the thymine dimer. For these candidate molecules to carry out functions similar to what flavin does in photolyase, we investigated the concept of noncovalent interaction between a free 8-oxoguanine as a flavin mimic and an abasic site in double stranded DNA as a ribozyme model, and found that it can accelerate thymine dimer repair. Not surprisingly, noncovalent interactions that bind the photocatalyst to the DNA duplex can accelerate thymine dimer repair compared to a bimolecular reaction. However, the repair efficiency is still lower than that of photolyase. We thus studied the photophysical proper-ties of one candidate molecule, 8-oxoguanine. To study the excited-state decay of 8-oxoguanine in the presence of base stacking, we optimized a synthetic methodology to prepare an 8-oxoguanine-containing dinucleotide. Pump-probe experiments performed by collaborators demonstrated that a deactivation channel through charge-transfer state formation between 8-oxoguanine and adenine exists in the dinucleotide, and potentially also exists in oligonucleotides. To study 8-oxoguanine excited-state decay in the more relevant double-stranded DNA, we explored various methodologies of circularizing short dsDNA and developed a postsynthetic modification method featuring click chemistry to synthesize a minicircle of DNA. The synthesized minicircle DNA is only two base-pairs long and very stable at room temperature. Through circular dichroism experiments, we found that the conformation of minicircle DNA is not necessarily B-form and is sequence-dependent. Pump-probe experiments were also performed on these molecules.

description: In the past few years, we have seen a tremendous increase in digital data being generated. By 2011, storage vendors had shipped 905 PB of purpose-built backup appliances. By 2013, the number of objects stored in Amazon S3 had reached 2 trillion. Facebook had stored 20 PB of photos by 2010. All of these require an efficient storage solution. To improve space efficiency, compression and deduplication are being widely used. Compression works by identifying repeated strings and replacing them with more compact encodings while deduplication partitions data into fixed-size or variable-size chunks and removes duplicate blocks. While we have seen great improvements in space efficiency from these two approaches, there are still some limitations. First, traditional compressors are limited in their ability to detect redundancy across a large range since they search for redundant data in a fine-grain level (string level). For deduplication, metadata embedded in an input file changes more frequently, and this introduces more unnecessary unique chunks, leading to poor deduplication. Cloud storage systems suffer from unpredictable and inefficient performance because of interference among different types of workloads. This dissertation proposes techniques to improve the effectiveness of traditional compressors and deduplication in improving space efficiency, and a new IO scheduling algorithm to improve performance predictability and efficiency for cloud storage systems. The common idea is to utilize similarity. To improve the effectiveness of compression and deduplication, similarity in content is used to transform an input file into a compression- or deduplication-friendly format. We propose Migratory Compression, a generic data transformation that identifies similar data in a coarse-grain level (block level) and then groups similar blocks together. It can be used as a preprocessing stage for any traditional compressor. We find metadata have a huge impact in reducing the benefit of deduplication. To isolate the impact from metadata, we propose to separate metadata from data. Three approaches are presented for use cases with different constrains. For the commonly used tar format, we propose Migratory Tar: a data transformation and also a new tar format that deduplicates better. We also present a case study where we use deduplication to reduce storage consumption for storing disk images, while at the same time achieving high performance in image deployment. Finally, we apply the same principle of utilizing similarity in IO scheduling to prevent interference between random and sequential workloads, leading to efficient, consistent, and predictable performance for sequential workloads and a high disk utilization.

description: To the Sefirah Netzach and instruction of David, when Doeg the Edomite had come and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Achimelech.” How the mighty man will praise himself with a wicked tongue, to shed innocent blood; but the grace of God is all the day. Your tongue devises destruction like a sharp razor, a worker of deceit. Doeg loved evil more than good, falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Meditate on this verse.  But since you are a friend of all devouring words, of the tongue of deceit, God will also break you forever; He will send you away and remove you far from every tent and uproot you from the land of life. Meditate upon this verse.  The righteous will see it and be afraid, but they will laugh at him.  Behold the man who did not let God be the source of his strength. He trusted in the abundance of his wealth. Let him be strong, then, by means of what he has devised.  But as for me, I am like the evergreen olive tree in the House of God. I trust in the mercy of God forever. I will yet give You (God) thanks forever because you have done it, and I will wait upon Your name as it is good unto Your devoted ones.

description: Diamond-Tungsten-Metal (DTM) matrix composites are a promising material for exploration of the earth's oil and gas, as well as other applications calling for very high abrasion resistance. This material is used for its unique combination of properties, including: abrasive cutting capability, flexural strength, fracture toughness, impact resistance, hardness, and wear resistance. The present work centered on the development of a process for producing this composite material. A pellet-making process was developed to fabricate DTM particles which could then be directly used for making DTM inserts. Diamond grit was coated with dry, premixed matrix powders (tungsten carbide, cobalt and/or copper) by using sprayed binder liquid and a vibratory machine. This process successfully solved the problem of achieving uniform diamond distribution. Subsequently, a modified rapid-heating omnidirectional compaction (mROC) process was employed to fully consolidate the the DTM inserts. After DTM pellets were cold pressed under a pressure of 243.71 MPa to create green parts, these samples were then transferred to the hot press machine to undergo the mROC process. The mROC process was initiated by a preheating step at 200-300 °C for debinding for 30 minutes., and then five minutes at elevated temperature to melt the glass by surpassing its melting temperature. After that, a high temperature (approximately 1200 °C), high pressure (560 MPa) compaction step was operated for another five minutes. Cooling and pressure releasing is the final step, then the DTM inserts were obtained. The process was shown to create matrices with uniform microstructure, although tiny holes caused by free carbon and vaporized wax could still be observed. In this study, other characteristics and variables with potential effects on mechanical properties and the microstructures of DTM composites were investigated, including diamond-volume percentage and compositional variation of matrices. It was found that both higher diamond-volume percentage (diamond being the primary abrasion particles) and larger tungsten carbide (WC)-content (hard phase and the skeleton of matrix) contributed to the higher hardness of the matrix. In terms of matrix composition, copper was added to the binder phase and was also seen to decrease the average hardness of the composite. The primary contribution of copper in this regard was to improve the diamond retention of the matrix. Further modifications to the process were made by shifting the debinding step to a separate unit process between the cold press and mROC process. The debinding step was performed in a furnace with a hydrogen atmosphere, and the adhesion between diamond and matrix was improved.
