Phenomenology of Science: A Designer's Role on Research Teams

Subjects: Design

description: This thesis explores the hypothesis that designers, as visual representation specialists, can catalyze novel moments of insight for researchers by visualizing, translating, distilling, and interpreting abstract data or models into concrete forms which allow researchers to see their data in a new way. Through four design practice studies, in four different contexts of research, I have employed what I see as the skills of a designer to assist in the exploration, testing, and definition of new knowledge. This research identifies and illuminates four pathways into a rich territory for exploration at the intersection of scientific research and recursive visualization design. I hope to show that designers can not only be external communicators of science, but be contributing members of a research team. This thesis does not aim to identify and problem and solve it, but rather to open a space of exploration. Well situated in four fields of literature, but focusing on a more practice-based approach to research through design, this thesis is an organic novel outgrowth of previous thinking. Methods and definitions of critical scientific visualization skills are elucidated, in addition to detailed descriptions of the role of design on scientific research teams.

description: India's Doubling Farmers' Income (DFI) mission fundamentally misunderstands the challenge of agricultural income enhancement by treating poverty as primarily a technical problem to be solved through market integration and technological adoption. Evidence from our comparative study of 106 farmers across Mysore and Wayanad districts reveals that this approach critically overlooks how social structures and institutional capacity determine policy effectiveness. The stark contrast between these districts demonstrates why DFI's current framework is failing its intended beneficiaries. In Mysore, where 68% of farmers report systematic exclusion from institutional support, DFI's push toward market-oriented agriculture has increased rather than reduced vulnerability. Without this fundamental reorientation, DFI risks deepening rather than resolving the agrarian crisis, particularly for India's most vulnerable farmers.

description: Quantitative investigation on the current-induced torque in antiferromagnets represents a great challenge, due to the lack of an independent method for controlling Néel vectors. Here by utilizing an antiferromagnetic insulator with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, α-Fe2O3, we show that the Néel vector can be controlled with a moderate external field, which is further utilized to calibrate the current-induced magnetic dynamics. We find that the current-induced magnetoresistance change in antiferromagnets can be complicated by resistive switching that does not have a magnetic origin. By excluding non-magnetic switching and comparing the current-induced dynamics with the field-induced one, we determine the nature and magnitude of current-induced effects in Pt/α-Fe2O3 bilayer films.

description: Electricity is crucial in contemporary society, with high-voltage power lines serving as vital components in the power transmission system, facilitating efficient electricity delivery over long distances. The complexity of power line environments, including features like lakes, mountains, and forests, poses challenges for inspection. Meeting the demands for a secure and reliable energy supply requires utility companies to conduct accurate and timely inspections of existing infrastructure and plan for future deployments. Power Line Corridor (PLC) monitoring encompasses electrical components (wires and pylons) and surrounding objects (vegetation). In recent years, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has been favoured for PLC inspection due to its active and weather-independent nature of laser scanning. However, today's corridor mapping practice using LiDAR in industries still remains an expensive manual process that is not suitable for a large-scale and rapid commercial compilation of corridor maps. Additionally, most of the research concerning power line extraction and reconstruction from LiDAR data has focused on single power line spans, or regarded bundle conductors as single conductors, while bundle conductor reconstruction is still a very challenging task. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to build an inspection workflow for PLC based on four major steps: (i) extraction of individual objects for a detailed PLC mapping from large-scale LiDAR data; (ii) extraction of sub-conductors; (iii) robust and precise reconstruction of each sub-conductor, and (iv) vegetation monitoring from airborne LiDAR data.

description: Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is predicted to reach 550 µmol mol−1 by 2050, increasing from the current ~410 µmol mol−1 concentration, and this will have an impact on wheat production and grain quality. Genetic differences in response to future CO2 levels, which might be exploited for higher yield and sustainable grain quality, were investigated. Twelve diverse genotypes (11 wheat lines and 1 triticale cultivar) were grown in the Australian Grains Free-Air CO2 Enrichment facility under ambient CO2 (~400 µmol mol−1) and elevated CO2 (eCO2) concentrations (550 µmol mol−1) in 2014 and 2015 to test for different responses to CO2. Genotype response to eCO2 for the parameters measured showed strong linear relationships. eCO2 increased plant height (11%), aboveground biomass (31%) and grain yield (32%) as means across all genotypes. Yield response to eCO2 was driven by increases in spike number and weight. The increase in CO2 caused a mean 10% decrease in grain nitrogen content and increased grain weight by 7%. Measures of bread dough quality decreased due to eCO2. Genotypes with large yield response did not show larger than mean reductions in grain %N. The apparent near-universal decline in grain %N under eCO2 might be compensated for by selection of genotypes that are highly responsive to increasing yields but resist dramatic declines in grain %N. Selection for responsiveness to eCO2 for yield and grain %N are likely to involve a range of co-related characteristics that balance sink and source relationships.

description: Far-infrared spectra (43-197um) of 34 nearby galaxies obtained by the Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) were analyzed to investigate the general properties of interstellar matter in galaxies. The line fluxes of [CII]158um and [NII]122um relative to the total far-infrared flux (FIR) decrease as the far-infrared color becomes bluer, while the ratio of the [OI]63um flux to FIR does not show a systematic trend with the color. The [OIII]88um to FIR ratio shows a large scatter with a weak trend of increase with the color. We estimate the physical conditions of photodissociation regions (PDRs) in the sample galaxies, such as the far-ultraviolet radiation field intensity Go and the gas density n by assuming that all the observed [OI]63um and far-infrared continuum emissions come from PDRs. The present analysis suggests that the decrease in [CII]158um/FIR with the far-infrared color may not be accounted for by the decrease in the photoelectric heating efficiency owing to the increase in positive charges of dust grains because a measure of the efficiency, Go/n, is found to stay constant with the far-infrared color. Instead the decrease can be interpreted in terms of either the increase in the collisional de-excitation of the [CII] transition due to the increase in the gas density or the decrease in the ionized component relative to the far-infrared intensity suggested by the decrease in [NII]122um/FIR. Based on the present analysis, we derive average relations of the far-infrared color with Go and n in galaxies, which can be applied to the investigation of interstellar matter in distant galaxies.

description: Crashes in freeways are recognized as being more dangerous and severe than those on urban streets. It is of great importance to analyze and improve traffic safety of freeways. Compared to the traditional count data regression models, crash surrogate indicators are widely recognized as a better alternative due to many advantages. Many crash surrogate indicators were proposed and widely applied to measure traffic conflicts in different situations. However, due to some drawbacks and limitations, these surrogate indicators are not suitable for freeway safety evaluation. Freeways often operate under a synchronized state, where a minor disturbance can lead to serious consequences due to uniform high speeds and small headways. Aiming to propose capable surrogate indicators for freeways, we fully examined the crash mechanism of the car-following scenario, and developed a tree structure to describe possible conflict scenarios. In the thesis, two new surrogate indicators of Braking Rate to Accommodate a Disturbance (BRAD) and Aggregated Crash Index (ACI) were proposed. These indicators can measure the minimum braking rate required by the following vehicle to avoid a crash, and where overall risk of the car-following scenario is investigated.

Operational Resource Theory of Quantum Channels

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum resource theories have been widely studied to systematically characterize the non-classicality of quantum systems. Most resource theories focus on quantum states and study their interconversions. Although quantum channels are generally used as the tool for state manipulation, such a manipulation capability can be naturally regarded as a generalized quantum resource, leading to an open research direction in the resource theories of quantum channels. Various resource-theoretic properties of channels have been investigated, however, without treating channels themselves as operational resources that can also be manipulated and converted. In this Letter, we address this problem by first proposing a general resource framework for quantum channels and introducing resource monotones based on general distance quantifiers of channels. We study the interplay between channel and state resource theories by relating resource monotones of a quantum channel to its manipulation power of the state resource. Regarding channels as operational resources, we introduce asymptotic channel distillation and dilution, the most important tasks in an operational resource theory, and show how to bound the conversion rates with channel resource monotones. Finally, we apply our results to quantum coherence as an example and introduce the coherence of channels, which characterizes the coherence generation ability of channels. We consider asymptotic channel distillation and dilution with maximally incoherent operations and find the theory asymptotically irreversible, in contrast to the asymptotic reversibility of the coherence of states.

Diffusion in a rough potential: Dual-scale structure and regime crossovers

description: Diffusion in a `rough' potential parameterized by a reaction coordinate $q$ is relevant to a wide spectrum of problems ranging from protein folding and charge transport in complex media to colloidal stabilization and self-assembly. This work studies the case of a potential having coarse-scale structure with characteristic energy barrier $ΔU$ and period $\ell$, and fine-scale `roughness' of magnitude $ΔU'\lesssim ΔU$ and small period $\ell'\ll \ell$. Numerical solution of the Smoluchowski equation and analytical predictions from Kramers theory document distinct regimes at different distances $|Δq|=|q-q_E|$ from stable equilibrium at $q=q_E$. The physical diffusivity $D$ prescribed by dissipative effects can be observed farther than a distance $|Δq'| \propto (ΔU'/\ell' + ΔU/\ell)$. Rescaling the physical diffusivity to account for the fine-scale `roughness' is strictly valid when $|Δq| < Δq_I \propto (ΔU'/\ell' - ΔU/\ell)$. Farther than a critical distance $Δq_{II}\propto ΔU/\ell$ the diffusion process is free of coarse-scale metastable states, which facilitates determining the effective diffusivity $D'$ from the reaction coordinate trajectory. Closer to equilibrium the coarse-scale structure induces two diffusive regimes: nearly logarithmic evolution for $Δq_{II} > |Δq| > Δq_{III}$ and exponential decay over time for $|Δq| < Δq_{III}\propto 1/\ell$. The effective diffusivity derived in this work is sensitive to the coarse- and fine-scale energy barriers and periods, and for $\ell'/\ell \to 0$ and $ΔU'/k_B T \gg 1$ agrees closely with mean first-passage time estimates currently employed, which depend solely on the fine-scale energy barrier.

description: India's Doubling Farmers' Income (DFI) initiative fundamentally misdiagnoses the challenge of agricultural income enhancement by treating it primarily as a technical and financial problem. While DFI's shift from production-centric to income-centric approaches marks an important policy evolution, this research reveals that its implementation framework critically overlooks the socio-economic and institutional foundations that determine policy effectiveness. Drawing on detailed empirical evidence from 106 farmers across Mysore (Karnataka) and Wayanad (Kerala) districts, I demonstrate how DFI's core strategies i.e., market integration, technology adoption, and easing credit access produce dramatically different outcomes depending on local institutional capacities and social structures. In Mysore, where 68% of farmers report systematic exclusion from institutional support, DFI's push toward market-oriented agriculture has increased rather than reduced vulnerability. The district's rigid social hierarchies mean that marginalized farmers cannot access credit, lack information about government schemes, and remain trapped in exploitative relationships with middlemen. In contrast, Wayanad's experience demonstrates how strong social institutions amplify policy effectiveness, enabling 76% of farmers to develop multiple income streams through collective action and knowledge sharing. This stark contrast challenges DFI's underlying assumption that income enhancement can be achieved through technical interventions alone. Evidence presented here also reveals three critical factors that determine policy success: institutional trust, social capital networks, and traditional knowledge systems. Without addressing these fundamental social and institutional dimensions, DFI risks perpetuating the agrarian crisis, particularly in climatically vulnerable regions. The research demands a fundamental rethinking of agricultural policy implementation to prioritize strengthening local institutions, addressing systemic social barriers, and building existing community knowledge systems before pursuing market integration and technological adoption.

description: We present results from an imaging survey of an unbiased sample of thirty-eight early-type (S0--Sa), low-inclination, optically barred galaxies in the field. Our goal was to find and characterize central stellar and gaseous structures: secondary bars, inner disks, and nuclear rings. Bars inside bars are surprisingly common: at least one quarter of the sample galaxies (possibly as many as 40%) are double-barred, with no preference for Hubble type or the strength of the primary bar. A typical secondary bar is ~12% of the size of its primary bar and 240--750 pc in radius. We see no significant effect of secondary bars on nuclear activity. We also find kiloparsec-scale inner disks in at least 20% of our sample, almost exclusively in S0 galaxies. These disks are on average 20% the size of their host bar, and show a wider range of relative sizes than do secondary bars. Nuclear rings are present in about a third of our sample. Most are dusty, sites of current or recent star formation, or both; such rings are preferentially found in Sa galaxies. Three S0 galaxies (15% of the S0's) appear to have purely stellar nuclear rings, with no evidence for dust or recent star formation. The fact that these central stellar structures are so common indicates that the inner regions of early-type barred galaxies typically contain dynamically cool and disklike structures. This is especially true for S0 galaxies, where secondary bars, inner disks, and/or stellar nuclear rings are present at least two thirds of the time. (abridged)

description: Background: Biomarkers of cardiovascular and metabolic risk track from adolescence into adulthood, therefore characterising the direction and magnitude of these changes is an important first step to identifying health trajectories that presage future disease risk. Aim: To characterise changes in metabolic biomarkers across early adolescence in a multi-ethnic cohort. Subjects and methods: Among 891 participants in Project Viva we estimated changes in insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), adipokines, lipids, and SBP between ages 6–10 years and 11–16 years. Next, we used multivariable linear regression to examine associations of sex, baseline overweight/obesity, baseline pubertal status and race/ethnicity with change in the biomarkers during follow-up. Results: Boys exhibited a larger decrement in adiponectin (−0.66 [95% CI = −1.14, −0.18)] ng/mL) and a greater increase in SBP (3.20 [2.10, 4.30] mmHg) than girls. Overweight/obese participants experienced larger increases in HOMA-IR, leptin, and triglycerides; and a steeper decrement in HDL. Pubertal youth showed larger decrements in total and LDL cholesterol than their pre-pubertal counterparts. In comparison to White participants, Black youth experienced a larger magnitude of increase in HOMA-IR, and Hispanic youth exhibited larger decrements in adiponectin and HDL. Conclusions: Change in metabolic biomarkers across early adolescence differed by sex, weight status, pubertal status and race/ethnicity. Some of the metabolic changes may reflect normal physiological changes of puberty, while others may presage future disease risk. Future studies are warranted to link metabolic changes during adolescence to long-term health.

description: The nature of Gamma-Ray Burst progenitors is still a debated issue, but consensus is growing on the association of GRBs with massive stars. Furthermore, current models for the reionization of the universe consider massive Pop--III stars as the sources of the ionizing photons. There could then be a natural link between GRBs and reionization. The reionization epoch can be measured through prompt IR spectral observations of high redshift GRBs. For this, GRBs are better than quasars: they produce a smaller HII region even if they are much brighter than quasars (but for a much shorter time) and then, contrary to quasars, they do not modify the absorption properties of the surrounding IGM.

description: Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the home monitoring with a rapid fecal calprotectin test combined with a symptom questionnaire in patients with colonic IBD in real-life setting. Methods: We randomized 180 patients with colonic IBD in a study or a control group. The home monitoring patients performed the fecal calprotectin test and filled in a symptom questionnaire every second month and in cases with increasing symptoms. The control patients filled in the symptom questionnaire at baseline and at 6 and 12 months as well as for the appointment at the outpatient clinic. The study duration was 12 months. Results: The patient adherence to the self-monitoring program was low. Patients with a higher disease burden were more adherent than patients with better health-related quality of life, but otherwise, there were no significant factors predicting the adherence. The home monitoring patients had fewer contacts with the outpatient clinic, but otherwise, the disease course between the home monitoring and the control group were similar. Conclusions: The self-monitoring of IBD activity with a combination of a rapid fecal calprotectin home test and a symptom questionnaire provides an option for individualized care for IBD patients. However, adherence to the self-monitoring program remains a challenge.

description: Parallel to operated algebras built on top of planar rooted trees via the grafting operator $B^+$, we introduce and study $\vee$-algebras and more generally $\vee_Ω$-algebras based on planar binary trees. Involving an analogy of the Hochschild 1-cocycle condition, cocycle $\vee_Ω$-bialgebras (resp.~$\vee_Ω$-Hopf algebras) are also introduced and their free objects are constructed via decorated planar binary trees. As a special case, the well-known Loday-Ronco Hopf algebra $H_{LR}$ is a free cocycle $\vee$-Hopf algebra. By means of admissible cuts, a combinatorial description of the coproduct $Δ_{LR(Ω)}$ on decorated planar binary trees is given, as in the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra by admissible cuts.

Subjects: subject: Cultural artefacts

description: This is a project in two parts. The text presented here is the major component. This exegetical document provides the theoretical context for a series of media art works that were produced between 2011 and 2012 in response as much as in parallel to this analysis. The creative work, the online media assemblage Dark Euphoria: Unclassified Media (archived at http://darkeuphoria.info), should be seen in a non-traditional sense – a research-led practice component – contextualised by the broader theoretical narrative. Together, these two components produce a visual communication analysis of historical events, cultural artefacts and media art and the artists who produce them to reveal the nature, attraction and power of the dark euphoric temperament inherent in millennial technoculture. It is important to note however that this is a particular type of exegetical response not a reflective exegesis. This is not an analysis of my practice – the history or technique – rather this is an analysis of the context that informs that practice. Yet this text does include a discussion of several of my key works in relation to specific issues unpacked by the broader thesis and also in relation to the work by other media artists who explore similar territory.

description: The galaxy population in rich local galaxy clusters shows a ratio of one quarter elliptical galaxies, two quarters S0 galaxies, and one quarter spiral galaxies. Observations of clusters at redshift 0.5 show a perspicuously different ratio, the dominant galaxy type are spiral galaxies with a fraction of two quarters while the number of S0 galaxies decreases to a fraction of one quarter (Dressler et al.1997). This shows an evolution of the galaxy population in clusters since redshift0.5 and it has been suspected that galaxy transformation processes during the infall into a cluster are responsible for this change. These could be merging, starburst or ram-pressure stripping. We use our evolutionary synthesis models to describe various possible effects of those interactions on the star formation of spiral galaxies infalling into clusters. We study the effects of starbursts of various strengths as well as of the truncation of star formation at various epochs on the color and luminosity evolution of model galaxies of various spectral types. As a first application we present the comparison of our models with observed properties of the local S0 galaxy population to constrain possible S0 formation mechanisms in clusters. Application to other types of galaxies is planned for the future.

Void Scaling and Void Profiles in CDM Models

description: An analysis of voids using cosmological N-body simulations of cold dark matter models is presented. It employs a robust statistics of voids, that was recently applied to discriminate between data from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey and different cosmological models. Here we extend the analysis to 3D and show that typical void sizes D in the simulated galaxy samples obey a linear scaling relation with the mean galaxy separation lambda: D=D_0+nu*lambda. It has the same slope nu as in 2D, but with lower absolute void sizes. The scaling relation is able to discriminate between different cosmologies. For the best standard LCDM model, the slope of the scaling relation for voids in the dark matter halos is too steep as compared to the LCRS, with too small void sizes for well sampled data sets. The scaling relation of voids for dark matter halos with increasing mass thresholds is even steeper than that for samples of galaxy-mass halos where we sparse sample the data. This shows the stronger clustering of more massive halos. Further, we find a correlation of the void size to its central and environmental average density. While there is little sign of an evolution in samples of small DM halos with v_{circ} ~ 90 km/s, voids in halos with circular velocity over 200 km/s are larger at redshift z = 3 due to the smaller halo number density. The flow of dark matter from the underdense to overdense regions in an early established network of large scale structure is also imprinted in the evolution of the density profiles with a relative density decrease in void centers by 0.18 per redshift unit between z=3 and z=0.

description: Background: Biomarkers of cardiovascular and metabolic risk track from adolescence into adulthood, therefore characterising the direction and magnitude of these changes is an important first step to identifying health trajectories that presage future disease risk. Aim: To characterise changes in metabolic biomarkers across early adolescence in a multi-ethnic cohort. Subjects & methods: Among 891 participants in Project Viva we estimated changes in insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), adipokines, lipids, and SBP between ages 6-10 years and 11-16 years. Next, we used multivariable linear regression to examine associations of sex, baseline overweight/obesity, baseline pubertal status, and race/ethnicity with change in the biomarkers during follow-up. Results: Boys exhibited a larger decrement in adiponectin (-0.66 [95% CI: -1.14, -0.18)] ng/mL) and a greater increase in SBP (3.20 [2.10, 4.30] mmHg) than girls. Overweight/obese participants experienced larger increases in HOMA-IR, leptin, and triglycerides; and a steeper decrement in HDL. Pubertal youth showed larger decrements in total and LDL cholesterol than their pre-pubertal counterparts. In comparison to White participants, Black youth experienced a larger magnitude of increase in HOMA-IR, and Hispanic youth exhibited larger decrements in adiponectin and HDL. Conclusions: Change in metabolic biomarkers across early adolescence differed by sex, weight status, pubertal status, and race/ethnicity. Some of the metabolic changes may reflect normal physiological changes of puberty, while others may presage future disease risk. Future studies are warranted to link metabolic changes during adolescence to long-term health.
Relativistic approach to positronium levels in a strong magnetic field

description: We have investigated the bound states of an electron and positron in superstrong magnetic fields typical for neutron stars. The complete relativistic problem of positronium in a strong magnetic field has not been succesfully solved up to now. In particular, we have studied the positronium when it moves relativistically across the magnetic field. A number of problems which deal with the pulsar magnetosphere, as well as the evolution of protoneutron stars, could be considered as a field for application.

description: Stabilizer code quantum Hamiltonians have been introduced with the intention of physically realizing a quantum memory because of their resilience to decoherence. In order to analyze their finite temperature thermodynamics, we show how to generically solve their partition function using duality techniques. By unveiling each model's universality class and effective dimension, insights may be gained on their finite temperature dynamics and robustness. Our technique is demonstrated in particular on the 4D Toric Code and Haah's Code -- we find that the former falls into the 4D Ising universality class, whereas Haah's Code exhibits dimensional reduction and falls into the 1D Ising universality class.

description: The onset of a psychotic disorder causes much distress, and has negative health consequences, for the affected individuals and their families. As the highest risk time for initial onset of psychoses is in late adolescence and early adulthood, most people developing psychoses live with their parents. Often the sufferer has little insight into their deteriorating mental health, and is reliant on parents to identify that there is a problem and to seek treatment for the sufferer. However, during the onset of psychoses behaviour often gradually deteriorates, and the family members are often confused about what might be causing the changes in the young person. This confusion about what to attribute the problem behaviours to has at least two potentially important effects. First, family members seem unlikely to seek treatment for the young person until they recognize psychiatric disorder is at least contributing to the young persons’ behaviour. Consistent with this possibility, it is known that there is usually a substantial delay (of two or more years) between the initial onset of psychiatric symptoms and young people accessing treatment. Second, relatives often suffer considerable distress and care giver burden as a psychosis develops in their offspring. The attributions they make for the emerging abnormal behaviours of their offspring might well mediate the extent of that suffering. Two studies were conducted. The first examined the attribution of parents of young people with and without a recent onset psychoses for abnormal behaviour in young people. The second study examined whether parent attributions predicted distress and care giver burden in parents of young people with recent onset psychoses...

description: We have found a 2.09 h modulation in brightness of the dwarf nova GW Lib. This bears no special relationship to the 1.28 h spectroscopic period that is believed to be the orbital period. It was present in May 2001, but not in observations made in 1997 and 1998 and is of unknown origin. Similar unexplained periodicities are present in FS Aur and V2051 Oph.
