description: System-level properties of metabolic networks may be the direct product of natural selection or arise as a by-product of selection on other properties. Here we study the effect of direct selective pressure for growth or viability in particular environments on two properties of metabolic networks: latent versatility to function in additional environments and carbon usage efficiency. Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling based on Flux Balance Analysis (FBA), we sample from a known biochemical universe random viable metabolic networks that differ in the number of directly constrained environments. We find that the latent versatility of sampled metabolic networks increases with the number of directly constrained environments and with the size of the networks. We then show that the average carbon wastage of sampled metabolic networks across the constrained environments decreases with the number of directly constrained environments and with the size of the networks. Our work expands the growing body of evidence about nonadaptive origins of key functional properties of biological networks.

description: The top-quark pair production cross section is measured in final states with one electron or muon and one hadronically decaying tau lepton from the process ttbar to (l nu[l]) (tau nu[tau]) bbbar, where l = e, mu. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. The measured cross section sigma[ttbar] = 257 +/- 3 (stat) +/- 24 (syst) +/- 7 (lumi) pb, assuming a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV, is consistent with the standard model prediction.

Sleep studies in mice - open and closed loop devices for untethered recording and stimulation
Creators: name: Hsieh, Bryan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Sleep is an important biological processes that has been studied extensively to date. Research in sleep typically involves mice experiments that use heavy benchtop equipment or basic neural loggers to record ECoG/EMG signals which are then processed offline in workstations. These systems limit the complexity of experiments that can be carried out to only simple open loop recordings, due to either the tethered setup used, which restricts animal movements, or the lack of devices that can offer more advanced features without compromising its portability. With rising popularity in exploring more physiological features that can affect sleep, such as temperature, whose importance has been highlighted in several papers [1][2][3] and advances in optogenetic stimulation, allowing high temporal and spatial neural control, there is now an unprecedented demand for experimental setups using new closed loop paradigms. To address this, this thesis presents compact and lightweight neural logging devices that are not only capable of measuring ECoG and EMG signals for core sleep analysis but also capable of taking high resolution temperature recordings and delivering optogenetic stimulus with fully adjustable parameters. Together with its embedded on-board automatic sleep stage scoring algorithm, the device will allow researchers for the first time to be able to quickly uncover the role a neural circuit plays in sleep regulation through selective neural stimulation when the animal is under the target sleep vigilance state. Original contributions include: the development of two novel multichannel neural logging devices, one for core sleep analysis and another for closed loop experimentation; the development and implementation of a lightweight, fast and highly accurate automatic on-line sleep stage scoring algorithm; and the development of a custom optogenetic coupler that is compatible with most current optogenetic setups for LED-Optical fibre coupling.

Non-fragile superconductivity with nodes in the superconducting topological insulator CuxBi2Se3: Zeeman orbital field and non-magnetic impurities
Creators: name: Nagai, Yuki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the robustness against non-magnetic impurities in the topological superconductor with point nodes, focusing on an effective model of Cu$_{x}$Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$. We find that the topological superconductivity with point-nodes is not fragile against non-magnetic impurities, although the superconductivity with nodes in past studies is usually fragile. Exchanging the role of spin with the one of orbital, and vice versa, we find that in the "dual" space the topological superconductor with point-nodes is regarded as the intra-orbital spin-singlet $s$-wave one. From the viewpoint of the dual space, we deduce that the point-node state is not fragile against non-magnetic impurity, when the orbital imbalance in the normal states is small. Since the spin imbalance is induced by the Zeeman magnetic field, we shall name this key quantity for the impurity effects Zeeman "orbital" field. The numerical calculations support that the deduction is correct. If the Zeeman orbital field is small, the topological superconductivity is not fragile in dirty materials, even with nodes. Thus, the topological superconductors can not be simply regarded as one of the conventional unconventional superconductors.

description: The concept of "family" is studied as an important part of culture in the whole world, including Kyrgyzstan and English-speaking countries. The specificity of the semantic content of the concept is studied using lexicographic sources, the basis of which are Kyrgyz and English explanatory dictionaries. Dictionary definitions demonstrate that in the Kyrgyz picture of the world, the concept "family" includes many components. The central place in the article is occupied by the study of lexical objectification, the concept of the phraseological background, based on the analysis of semantic fields. Examples are given for each language to be studied. Definition of the main cultural components of the content of the concept "family" has practical significance when learning Kyrgyz English and vice versa.

description: Monitoring plantations is crucial for crop management and producing healthy harvests. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been used to collect multispectral images that aid in this monitoring. However, given the number of hectares to be monitored and the limitations of flight, plant disease signals become visually clear only in the later stages of plant growth and only if the disease has spread throughout a significant portion of the plantation. This limited amount of relevant data hampers the prediction models, as the algorithms struggle to generalize patterns with unbalanced or unrealistic augmented datasets effectively. To address this issue, we propose PlantPlotGAN, a physics-informed generative model capable of creating synthetic multispectral plot images with realistic vegetation indices. These indices served as a proxy for disease detection and were used to evaluate if our model could help increase the accuracy of prediction models. The results demonstrate that the synthetic imagery generated from PlantPlotGAN outperforms state-of-the-art methods regarding the Fréchet inception distance. Moreover, prediction models achieve higher accuracy metrics when trained with synthetic and original imagery for earlier plant disease detection compared to the training processes based solely on real imagery.

title: Human rights violations and accountability gap
Creators: name: Rauchs, Anne-Sophie Colette Marie
Year: 2021

description: Nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges wurden vermehrt Friedensmissionen durchgeführt, die leider nicht nur der Unterstützung von Ländern in politisch instabilen Situationen dienten, sondern bedauerlicherweise auch zu zahlreichen Skandalen sexuellen Missbrauchs und sexueller Ausbeutung durch das UN-Personal selbst in diesen Regionen führten. Deshalb konzentriert sich diese Arbeit auf die Analyse der Fragen wie und warum es zu solchen Vorfällen kommt, und legt ihren Fokus insbesondere auf die Darstellung der Möglichkeiten, die Verantwortlichen für diese Taten zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen, was erwiesenermaßen nicht oft der Fall ist. Darauf folgt sogleich die Analyse der Frage, ob es möglich ist, die Vereinten Nationen oder die truppenstellenden Staaten für die Handlungen ihrer Agenten, d.h. der Soldaten oder anderer UN-Mitarbeiter, zur Verantwortung zu ziehen. Nach der Darstellung und Erörterung von Entscheidungen verschiedener Gerichte in dieser Angelegenheit werden in dieser Arbeit vor allem die rechtlichen Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Rechenschaftspflicht der Vereinten Nationen in Fällen von sexueller Ausbeutung bei Friedensmissionen behandelt. Im letzten Teil der Arbeit werden die allgemeinen internationalen Reaktionen auf die zahlreichen Schlagzeilen bezüglich der sexuellen Gewalt dargestellt und die Vorschläge von den Vereinten Nationen und der internationalen Gemeinschaft zum Umgang mit dieser Lücke, in Bezug dazu wen man zur Rechenschaft ziehen kann, vorgestellt, eine Lücke, die sich als echtes Problem in diesen Fragen erwiesen hat.
description: Peacekeeping missions have been increasingly conducted after the end of the Cold War, and with them has not only come an assistance to countries in politically unstable situations, but unfortunately also repeated scandals of sexual abuse and exploitation committed by the UN personnel itself have arisen in these regions. That’s why this paper focusses on analyzing how and why it comes to such incidents, and especially on presenting the possibilities of holding the responsible individuals accountable for these acts, which has proven to not often being the case. With it comes the question on whether it is possible to hold the UN or the Troop-Contributing States accountable for the actions of their agents, namely the soldiers or other UN personnel. After presenting decisions of different courts in the matter and discussing them, this paper really emphasizes on the legal issues when it comes to holding the UN accountable in the context of cases of SEA in peacekeeping missions. In its last part, the paper engages on presenting the general international responses to the numerous headlines of SEA scandals and on introducing the elaborated suggestions by the UN and by the international community as a whole on dealing with the so-called ‘accountability gap’ that has shown to be a real problem in these concerns.

description: In this paper, time-dependent dynamical systems given by sequences of maps are studied. For systems built from expanding C^2-maps on a compact Riemannian manifold M with uniform bounds on expansion factors and derivatives, we provide formulas for the metric and topological entropy. If we only assume that the maps are C^1, but act in the same way on the fundamental group of M, we can show the existence of an equi-conjugacy to an autonomous system, implying a full variational principle for the entropy. Finally, we introduce the notion of strong uniform expansivity that generalizes the classical notion of positive expansivity, and we prove time-dependent analogues of some well-known results. In particular, we generalize Reddy's result which states that a positively expansive system locally expands distances in an equivalent metric.

description: Numerical continuation calculations for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are, by now, an established tool for bifurcation analysis in dynamical systems theory as well as across almost all natural and engineering sciences. Although several excellent standard software packages are available for ODEs, there are - for good reasons - no standard numerical continuation toolboxes available for partial differential equations (PDEs), which cover a broad range of different classes of PDEs automatically. A natural approach to this problem is to look for efficient gluing computation approaches, with independent components developed by researchers in numerical analysis, dynamical systems, scientific computing and mathematical modelling. In this paper, we shall study several elliptic PDEs (Lane-Emden-Fowler, Lane-Emden-Fowler with microscopic force, Caginalp) via the numerical continuation software pde2path and develop a gluing component to determine a set of starting solutions for the continuation by exploting the variational structures of the PDEs. In particular, we solve the initialization problem of numerical continuation for PDEs via a minimax algorithm to find multiple unstable solution. Furthermore, for the Caginalp system, we illustrate the efficient gluing link of pde2path to the underlying mesh generation and the FEM MatLab pdetoolbox. Even though the approach works efficiently due to the high-level programming language and without developing any new algorithms, we still obtain interesting bifurcation diagrams and directly applicable conclusions about the three elliptic PDEs we study, in particular with respect to symmetry-breaking. In particular, we show for a modified Lane-Emden-Fowler equation with an asymmetric microscopic force, how a fully connected bifurcation diagram splits up into C-shaped isolas on which localized pattern deformation appears towards two different regimes.

description: The quantum dense coding (DC) protocol, which has no security feature, deals with the transmission of classical information encoded in a quantum state by using shared entanglement between a single sender and a single receiver. Its appropriate variant has been established as a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme for shared two-qubit maximally entangled states, with the security proof utilizing the uncertainty relation of complementary observables and the Shor-Preskill entanglement purification scheme. We present the DC-based QKD protocol for higher dimensional systems and report the lower bounds on secret key rate, when the shared state is a two-qudit maximally entangled state, and mixtures of maximally entangled states with different ranks. The analysis also includes the impact of noisy channels on the secure key rates, before and after encoding. In both the noiseless and the noisy scenarios, we demonstrate that the key rate as well as the robustness of the protocol against noise increases with the dimension. Further, we prove that the set of useless states in the DC-based QKD protocol is convex and compact.

Search for dark matter, extra dimensions, and unparticles in monojet events in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: Results are presented from a search for particle dark matter (DM), extra dimensions, and unparticles using events containing a jet and an imbalance in transverse momentum. The data were collected by the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The number of observed events is found to be consistent with the standard model prediction. Limits are placed on the DM-nucleon scattering cross section as a function of the DM particle mass for spin-dependent and spin-independent interactions. Limits are also placed on the scale parameter M[D] in the ADD model of large extra dimensions, and on the unparticle model parameter Lambda[U]. The constraints on ADD models and unparticles are the most stringent limits in this channel and those on the DM-nucleon scattering cross section are an improvement over previous collider results.

description: We illustrate shape mode analysis as a simple, yet powerful technique to concisely describe complex biological shapes and their dynamics. We characterize undulatory bending waves of beating flagella and reconstruct a limit cycle of flagellar oscillations, paying particular attention to the periodicity of angular data. As a second example, we analyze non-convex boundary outlines of gliding flatworms, which allows us to expose stereotypic body postures that can be related to two different locomotion mechanisms. Further, shape mode analysis based on principal component analysis allows to discriminate different flatworm species, despite large motion-associated shape variability. Thus, complex shape dynamics is characterized by a small number of shape scores that change in time. We present this method using descriptive examples, explaining abstract mathematics in a graphic way.

description: We show that a mesoscale model, with a minimal number of parameters, can well describe the thermomechanical and mechanochemical behavior of homogeneous DNA at thermal equilibrium under tension and torque. We predict critical temperatures for denaturation under torque and stretch, phase diagrams for stable DNA, probe/response profiles under mechanical loads, and the density of dsDNA as a function of stretch and twist. We compare our predictions with available single molecule manipulation experiments and find strong agreement. In particular we elucidate the difference between angularly constrained and unconstrained overstretching. We propose that the smoothness of the angularly constrained overstreching transition is a consequence of the molecule being in the vicinity of criticality for a broad range of values of applied tension.

description: We present an analysis of the deepest Herschel images in four major extragalactic fields GOODS-North, GOODS-South, UDS and COSMOS obtained within the GOODS-Herschel and CANDELS-Herschel key programs. The picture provided by 10497 individual far-infrared detections is supplemented by the stacking analysis of a mass-complete sample of 62361 star-forming galaxies from the CANDELS-HST H band-selected catalogs and from two deep ground-based Ks band-selected catalogs in the GOODS-North and the COSMOS-wide fields, in order to obtain one of the most accurate and unbiased understanding to date of the stellar mass growth over the cosmic history. We show, for the first time, that stacking also provides a powerful tool to determine the dispersion of a physical correlation and describe our method called "scatter stacking" that may be easily generalized to other experiments. We demonstrate that galaxies of all masses from z=4 to 0 follow a universal scaling law, the so-called main sequence of star-forming galaxies. We find a universal close-to-linear slope of the logSFR-logM* relation with evidence for a flattening of the main sequence at high masses (log(M*/Msun) > 10.5) that becomes less prominent with increasing redshift and almost vanishes by z~2. This flattening may be due to the parallel stellar growth of quiescent bulges in star-forming galaxies. Within the main sequence, we measure a non varying SFR dispersion of 0.3 dex. The specific SFR (sSFR=SFR/M*) of star-forming galaxies is found to continuously increase from z=0 to 4. Finally we discuss the implications of our findings on the cosmic SFR history and show that more than 2/3 of present-day stars must have formed in a regime dominated by the main sequence mode. As a consequence we conclude that, although omnipresent in the distant Universe, galaxy mergers had little impact in shaping the global star formation history over the last 12.5 Gyr.

Taking the statistical fluctuations for different sources jointly, we present more tightened formulas for some key quantities used in calculating the secure final key. Numerical simulation shows that, given the total number of pulses $10^{12}$, our method improves the key rate by about 97\% for a distance of 50kms compared with the result given by Xu., et al. (Phys. Rev. A 89, 052333); and improves the key rate by $146\%$ for a distance of 100kms compared with the result from full optimization of all parameters but treating the statistical fluctuations traditionally, i.e., treating the fluctuations for different sources separately.

title: Contemporary English Moravian identity in historical perspective
Creators: name: Rollo, James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: The Moravian Church founded in Central Europe in 1457, exiled in 1627, renewed in 1722, rose from a crisis in 1753 and regained its standing by the careful control of its past. Based on a combination of archival research and contemporary fieldwork, this thesis considers contemporary Moravian identity in England from a historical perspective. It explores how contemporary members of the Moravian Church in England draw on history when presenting their identity today. Using two Moravian settlements in England, Fairfield in Greater Manchester and Fulneck in West Yorkshire, as case studies, this thesis examines how traditions and practices are employed to present and construct English Moravian identity, to both internal and external audiences. Against the backdrop of the history of the two settlements, reaching back to their early relationship with central European Moravians, this thesis considers the interplay of global, national, and local layers of Moravian identity and history. It investigates how contemporary members of these two English Moravian settlements relate to and identify with different aspects of their history and perceive their past. It explores notions of belonging to a lived-in community and the relationship that members have with the physical settlements themselves, in essence what it means to be a Moravian in England today.

description: This article studies potential theory and spectral analysis on compact metric spaces, which we refer to as fractal quantum graphs. These spaces can be represented as a (possibly infinite) union of 1-dimensional intervals and a totally disconnected (possibly uncountable) compact set, which roughly speaking represents the set of junction points. Classical quantum graphs and fractal spaces such as the Hanoi attractor are included among them. We begin with proving the existence of a resistance form on the Hanoi attractor, and go on to establish heat kernel estimates and upper and lower bounds on the eigenvalue counting function of Laplacians corresponding to weakly self-similar measures on the Hanoi attractor. These estimates and bounds rely heavily on the relation between the length and volume scaling factors of the fractal. We then state and prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a resistance form on a general fractal quantum graph. Finally, we extend our spectral results to a large class of weakly self-similar fractal quantum graphs.

description: This article discusses the procedural and tactical grounds for making a decision to conduct a search. When the investigator decides to carry out such an investigative action as a search, it is necessary to strictly observe the norms of procedural legislation, as well as tactical principles. In this regard, the issue of determining and delimiting the procedural and tactical grounds for making a decision to conduct a search seems to be relevant. For the most part, this issue concerns the conduct of an urgent search without obtaining court permission. Within the framework of this study, the author analyses the issues of procedural regulation of the grounds for making a decision to conduct a search, as well as tactical grounds. To analyse of the norms of procedural legislation and doctrinal studies on the procedural and tactical grounds for making a decision to conduct a search. In order to develop a uniform practice of applying the rules on the validity of the decision to conduct a search, the author proposed to develop guidelines for determining the sufficiency of the grounds for making such a decision.

description: We investigate the real-time dynamics of photoexcited electronic instabilities in a charge-transfer system model, using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method. The model of choice was the quarter-filled one-dimensional extended Peierls-Hubbard Hamiltonian interacting with classical few-cycle electromagnetic radiation. The results show that only one electronic instability drives the main features of the photogenerated time-dependent behavior. Indeed, the photoresponse of the system shows a large enhancement of the $4k_F$ (bond and charge) instability whereas the $2k_F$ state remains largely unaffected. This conclusion holds regardless of the nature of the optical excitations and whether the system is perturbed resonantly or not. Our results suggest potential applications of charge-transfer systems with slow phononic dynamics as optoelectronic switching devices.

description: The Horizon2020 project AtlantOS works towards facilitating a better link between the data providers involved in AtlantOS and GEOSS, as a global integrator of earth observations, and to make data providers as a community discoverable through GEOSS. A primary goal was to provide the data networks with the necessary information on GEOSS. In order to do so a workshop was held in a full-day event at the AtlantOS 3rd general assembly in a collaborative effort between AtlantOS and GEOSS and the H2020 projects COOP+ and ENVRI+. A team of three persons from GEOSS involved with technical as well as political aspects of GEOSS was invited to give lecturers and hands-on exercises at the workshop. The workshop gave the participating data providers a firsthand impression of the latest developments of the GEOSS platform (FKA: GEOSS common infrastructure). In connection to this workshop, GEO finalized the first edition of a comprehensive reference work called “The GEOSS Platform – Manual n.1 – All you need to know to become a GEO Data Provider”. This manual provides thorough guidance for data providers to the world of GEOSS and how to register and access data, and we recommend it to all data-providers in AtlantOS. AtlantOS was registered with the GEOSS Yellow-Pages to make AtlantOS as a project and the related data resources directly discoverable in the GEOSS Portal. New features in the GEOSS portal have recently been introduced in order to specifically serve communities like AtlantOS. AtlantOS is currently in the process of exploring the possibility of making the data resources, which are declared and available in the AtlantOS catalog setup within WP7, available through a Mirror site in the GEOSS Portal. GEOSS has finalized an interoperability test showing that there are no impediments from a technical viewpoint. AtlantOS and GEOSS have identified prioritized areas of interest, where both parties will benefit from an improved collaboration. AtlantOS can provide inputs to GEOSS for various Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs). In particular, input on maritime transport (risk assessment) is highlighted by GEOSS as an area where input is particularly needed. Both in regard to community usage of the GEOSS portal and in regard to SBAs, GEOSS is using AtlantOS as an demonstrator for the community approach, and AtlantOS have been invited to participate an upcoming GEOSS meeting to present our experience collaborating with GEOSS.

description: We demonstrate that exciton conductance in organic materials can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude when the molecules are strongly coupled to an electromagnetic mode. Using a 1D model system, we show how the formation of a collective polaritonic mode allows excitons to bypass the disordered array of molecules and jump directly from one end of the structure to the other. This finding could have important implications in the fields of exciton transistors, heat transport, photosynthesis, and biological systems in which exciton transport plays a key role.

title: Intuitionen von VerbraucherInnen gegenüber veganen Lebensmittelsubstituten
Creators: name: Scheuerer, Katharina Maria
Year: 2021

description: Die heutzutage übliche Ernährung in den Industriestaaten zeichnet sich durch einen hohen Anteil tierischer Produkte, welcher Ernährungsempfehlungen weit übersteigt, aus. Da der Konsum von Lebensmittel tierischen Ursprungs in diesem Ausmaß nicht nur zu gesundheitlichen Problem führen kann, sondern aufgrund der gängigen Produktionspraktiken auch erheblich zur Umweltbelastung beiträgt, gilt er als nicht nachhaltig. Diesen Herausforderungen wird die relativ neue Produktgruppe der veganen Lebensmittelsubstitute gerecht, die nicht nur als gesund, sondern auch als nachhaltig gelten. Diese Zusammenhänge zwischen Gesundheit, Nachhaltigkeit und einer pflanzlichen Ernährung sind den VerbraucherInnen zunehmend bewusst, dennoch weisen vegane Lebensmittelsubstitute noch vergleichsweise niedrige Marktanteile auf. Die Laientheorien der ,,Unhealthy = Tasty Intuition‘‘ und der ,,Ethical = Less Strong Intuition‘‘, welche das Kaufverhalten nachweislich beeinflussen, bieten einen vielversprechenden Erklärungsansatz hierfür. Mittels zweier IATs und Selbstbeurteilung wurden diese Intuitionen auf implizitem und explizitem Niveau erhoben. Während die impliziten Intuitionen keinen Effekt auf die Akzeptanz veganer Lebensmittelsubstitute aufwiesen, konnte eine stark ausgeprägte explizite ,,Unhealthy = Tasty Intuition‘‘ eine geringere Aufgeschlossenheit gegenüber pflanzenbasierter Nahrungsmittel erklären. Außerdem dienten die Intuitionen als Grundlage einer Segmentierung der VerbraucherInnen, wodurch sich vier unterschiedliche Gruppen mittels Clusteranalyse identifizieren ließen: ,,Die Konservativen‘‘, ,,Die Unentschlossenen‘‘, ,,Die Genussmenschen‘‘ und ,,Die jungen Nachhaltigen‘‘. Anhand dieser vier Cluster ermöglicht sich eine zielgruppengerechte Ansprache durch bedürfnisgerechte Marketingmaßnahmen, in etwa durch Preisanpassungen oder eine entsprechende Etikettengestaltung.

The atmospheric evolution of small, close-in exoplanets
Creators: name: Rogers, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The results from the Kepler space observatory have revealed a wealth of planets with small sizes and small orbital separations, referred to as “super-Earths” or “sub-Neptunes”. This thesis will focus on such planets. Atmospheres of super-Earths/sub-Neptunes are vulnerable to hydrodynamic escape due to the proximity to their host stars. I begin by comparing two mechanisms by which this can occur: photoevaporation, which is caused by high energy radiation from the host star; and core-powered mass-loss, which relies on the stellar bolometric luminosity in conjunction with the cooling luminosity from the planetary core. I construct a robust statistical test that can be performed on future exoplanet surveys in order to determine which of these mechanisms is dominant. I then go on to show that if one takes the population of exoplanets observed today, one can rewind the clock on atmospheric evolution to infer the planet properties at birth. I perform this with photoevaporation models to place constraints on planetary properties that are currently unobservable with standard techniques. I find that a typical super-Earth/sub-Neptune has a core mass of ∼ 4M⊕, a core composition consistent with that of Earth and an initial atmospheric mass fraction after protoplanetary disc dispersal of ∼ 2%. This latter result highlights a discrepancy between atmospheric mass-loss and gas accretion models, the latter of which predicts initial atmospheric masses ≳ 10%. I perform sophisticated evolution models of planets immersed in protoplanetary discs that self-consistently model gas accretion and mass-loss induced by rapid disc dispersal. I find that this mechanism efficiently removes atmospheric mass and provides a robust solution to the aforementioned discrepancy. This mass-loss phase induces rapid contraction and advection of high entropy material into the escaping atmosphere. This process, which I find is strongly controlled by the disc dispersal rate, produces a planet that has prematurely cooled, given its age.
