description: From the parton distributions in the infinite momentum frame one finds that only about 30% of the nucleon spin is carried by spins of the valence quarks, which gave rise to the term "spin crisis". Similar results hold for the lowest mesons, as it follows from the lattice simulations. We define the spin content of a meson in the rest frame and use a complete and orthogonal $\bar q q$ chiral basis and a unitary transformation from the chiral basis to the (2S+1)LJ basis. Then, given a mixture of different allowed chiral representations in the meson wave function at a given resolution scale, one can obtain its spin content at this scale. To obtain the mixture of the chiral representations in the meson we measure in dynamical lattice simulations a ratio of couplings of interpolarors with different chiral structure. For the rho meson we obtain practically the 3S1 state with no trace of the spin crisis. Then a natural question arises: which definition does reflect the spin content of a hadron?

description: Thermodynamic properties of a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) of constituent quasiparticles are studied by a color path-integral Monte Carlo simulations (CPIMC). For our simulations we have presented QGP partition function in the form of color path integral with new relativistic measure instead of Gaussian one used in Feynman and Wiener path integrals. For integration over color variable we have also developed procedure of sampling color variables according to the group SU(3) Haar measure. It is shown that this method is able to reproduce the available quantum lattice chromodynamics (QCD) data.

description: Using infrared imaging from the Herschel Space Observatory, observed as part of the VNGS, we investigate the spatially resolved dust properties of the interacting Whirlpool galaxy system (NGC 5194 and NGC 5195), on physical scales of 1 kpc. Spectral energy distribution modelling of the new infrared images in combination with archival optical, near- through mid-infrared images confirms that both galaxies underwent a burst of star formation ~370-480 Myr ago and provides spatially resolved maps of the stellar and dust mass surface densities. The resulting average dust-to-stellar mass ratios are comparable to other spiral and spheroidal galaxies studied with Herschel, with NGC 5194 at log M(dust)/M(star)= -2.5+/-0.2 and NGC 5195 at log M(dust)/M(star)= -3.5+/-0.3. The dust-to-stellar mass ratio is constant across NGC 5194 suggesting the stellar and dust components are coupled. In contrast, the mass ratio increases with radius in NGC 5195 with decreasing stellar mass density. Archival mass surface density maps of the neutral and molecular hydrogen gas are also folded into our analysis. The gas-to-dust mass ratio, 94+/-17, is relatively constant across NGC 5194. Somewhat surprisingly, we find the dust in NGC 5195 is heated by a strong interstellar radiation field, over 20 times that of the ISRF in the Milky Way, resulting in relatively high characteristic dust temperatures (~30 K). This post-starburst galaxy contains a substantial amount of low-density molecular gas and displays a gas-to-dust ratio (73+/-35) similar to spiral galaxies. It is unclear why the dust in NGC 5195 is heated to such high temperatures as there is no star formation in the galaxy and its active galactic nucleus is 5-10 times less luminous than the one in NGC 5194, which exhibits only a modest enhancement in the amplitude of its ISRF.

title: Artist Management in the UK Music Industries: A Sui Generis Form of Management
Creators: name: Wang, Yiyi
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2026

description: What needs to be managed in the music industries is the musician. The need for management emerges as (1) the blurred line between Project and Product and (2) the constant tension between the nonlinear freedom of creation and expression and the linear necessity of market success and non-measurable productivity. This is fundamentally different from launching a product such as a car or a mobile phone, even if musicians have to be organised, marketed and promoted, to be scheduled and budgeted, and so on. The sui generis need introduces different and substantial orders of complexity to the role of managers and to the practice of management. Those who keep musicians on track – dealing with the complexity while making new music – are “artist managers”, and their management practice is what we call “artist management”. This UK-based research provides the first substantive, academic examination of Artist Management to understand the role of artist managers, their motivation, their value, and their impact in order to cover the almost complete absence of knowledge in academic literature. It applies an interdisciplinary approach to bridge the two fields – artist management and orthodox management – to address three questions: (1) What do artist managers do? (2) In what ways can we identify the differences and similarities between orthodox linear management styles and the need for a combinatory style of management represented by the term and practice “Artist Management”? (3) What analytical procedures and concepts are required to specify Artist Management as a sui generis discipline? This research derives from and combines different forms of qualitative research: ethnography (in the form of long-term participant observation with unstructured interviews) supplemented by orthodox interview technique (34 semi-structured interviews with British artist managers and musicians). Together these create a detailed yet transparent account of Artist Management. It then defines Artist Management as a sui generis discipline which takes the form of the creation and maintenance of a dynamic set of relations that I identify as “The Loop” which is made dynamic by the need of the artist manager always to consider how Risks incurred, Relationships within, by a project initiated by musicians are to be managed together with the Emotions and Expectations of the musicians involved.

description: We discuss an ambiguity in the one-loop effective action of massive fields which takes place in massive fermionic theories. The universality of logarithmic UV divergences in different space-time dimensions leads to the non-universality of the finite part of effective action, which can be called the non-local multiplicative anomaly. The general criteria of existence of this phenomena are formulated and applied to fermionic operators with different external fields.

description: Background Public acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination is an unprecedented challenge. Vaccine hesitancy is a major hurdle which can undermine the vaccination program. In this study, we aimed to determine the influence of selected important attributes in COVID-19 vaccination preferences among the Malaysian public to improve the national uptake. Methods An online Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) survey was disseminated to a representative sample of Malaysian. The respondents were asked to make vaccination decisions in a series of hypothetical scenarios. A mixed logit regression model was used to estimate the preferences for different attribute levels of the vaccines and to determine interaction effects between different sub-populations. The attributes under investigation were the risk of developing severe side effects of the vaccine, vaccine effectiveness, vaccine content, vaccination schedule and distance from home to vaccination centres. Results In total, 2028 respondents were included in the analysis. Public uptake of COVID-19 vaccination was mainly influenced by the risk of developing severe side effects (b= -1.747, 95% CI= -2.269 to -1.225), vaccine effectiveness (b= 3.061, 95% CI= 2.628 to 3.494) and its halal status (b= 3.722, 95% CI= 3.152 to 4.292). Factors such as appointment timing and travel distance to the vaccination centre appeared to be less important. Vaccine uptake was not influenced by bovine content or whether the vaccine was administered at a public or private facility. Preferences heterogeneity between different populations was substantial, particularly for age groups, ethnicity, regions, and presence of health conditions. Conclusion An understanding of public preferences can help in fine tuning the current COVID-19 national vaccination program.

description: [abridged] We present results of modeling the SED and multiwavelength variability of the bright FSRQ PKS1510-089 with our time-dependent multizone Monte Carlo/Fokker-Planck code (Chen et al. 2001). As primary source of seed photons for inverse Compton scattering, we consider radiation from the broad line region (BLR), from the molecular torus, and the local synchrotron radiation (SSC). Different scenarios are assessed by comparing simulated light curves and SEDs with one of the best flares by PKS1510-089, in March 2009. The time-dependence of our code and its correct handling of light travel time effects allow us to fully take into account the effect of the finite size of the active region, and in turn to fully exploit the information carried by time resolved observed SEDs, increasingly available since the launch of Fermi. We confirm that the spectrum adopted for the external radiation has an important impact on the modeling of the SED, in particular for the lower energy end of the Compton component, observed in the X-ray band, which in turn is one of the most critical bands to assess the differences between EC and SSC emission. In the context of the scenario presented here, where the flaring is caused by the increase of the number of relativistic electrons ascribed to the effect of the interaction of a portion of the jet (blob) with a shock, we can not firmly discriminate the three main scenarios for gamma-ray emission. However, results show clearly the differences produced by a more realistic treatment of the emitting source in the shape of SEDs and their time variability over relevant, observable time-scales, and demonstrate the crucial importance of time-dependent multi-zone models to advance our understanding of the physics of these sources, by taking full advantage of the wealth of information offered by the high quality data of current multiwavelength campaigns.

description: Introduction Cancer is the fourth common cause of death in Malaysia and late presentation (Stage III and IV) is one of the primary challenges. This study explores the timeline from symptoms onset to initiation of cancer treatment among breast, cervical, colorectal, and nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Methodology This is a multicentre cross-sectional study involving adult patients with primary tumour diagnosed from 2015 to 2020 in eight public hospitals. Data on sociodemographic, time interval from onset to first medical consultation (Patient interval, PI), and from consultation to diagnosis (Diagnostic interval, DI) were collected using self-administered survey; while diagnosis to treatment initiation (Treatment interval, TI) from medical records. Results 596 patients were recruited with the distribution of 244 (40.9%), 156 (26.2%), 116 (19.5%) and 80 (13.4%) for breast, colorectal, nasopharyngeal, and cervical cancer, respectively. The overall median PI, DI and TI were 20 days (Interquartile range IQR: 74.0), 39 days (IQR: 71.5) and 37 days (IQR: 41.0), respectively. PI is the shortest median interval across all cancer types ranging from 7.0 days (IQR: 61.0) to 36 days (IQR: 141). DI is the longest median interval across the cancer types ranging from 33 days (IQR: 75) to 49 days (IQR: 81). Breast cancer timelines are closest to the World Health Organization's recommendations of one month target indicator per interval. Discussion Strategies to shorten DI across cancer types is imperative towards improving cancer outcomes. As the interval performances varied between cancer types, it is recommended for early diagnosis interventions to be cancer specific.

description: We report the discovery of a new candidate ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the nearby edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891. The source, which has an absorbed flux of F_X ~ 10^-12 erg/s/cm^2 (corresponding to L_X > 10^40 erg/s at 9 Mpc), must have begun its outburst in the past 5 years as it is not detected in prior X-ray observations between 1986 and 2006. We try empirical fits to the XMM-Newton spectrum, finding that the spectrum is fit very well as emission from a hot disk, a cool irradiated disk, or blurred reflection from the innermost region of the disk. The simplest physically motivated model with an excellent fit is a hot disk around a stellar-mass black hole (a super-Eddington outburst), but equally good fits are found for each model. We suggest several follow-up experiments that could falsify these models.

description: We study the two-dimensional space of supergravity solutions corresponding to non-supersymmetric deformations of the baryonic branch of Klebanov-Strassler. By combining analytical methods with a numerical survey of the parameter space, we find that this solution space includes as limits the softly-broken N=1 solutions of Gubser et al. and those of Dymarsky and Kuperstein. We also identify a one-dimensional family of solutions corresponding to a natural non-supersymmetric generalisation of Klebanov-Strassler, and one corresponding to the limit in which supersymmetry is completely absent, even in the far UV. For almost all of the parameter space we find indications that much of the structure of the supersymmetric baryonic branch survives.

description: Introduction Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by progressive and generalised loss of skeletal muscle mass and function associated with aging. However, in chronic kidney disease (CKD), sarcopenia is not necessarily age-related as it occurs due to accelerated protein catabolism. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the prevalence of sarcopenia and its associated risk factors in pre-dialysis CKD patients. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 pre-dialysis CKD patients above 18 years-old attending out-patient Renal Clinic in Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah Muar Johor from April to November 2019. Anthropometrics, body composition, gait speed, and handgrip strength were measured. Criteria of Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia was used to identify the presence of sarcopenia. Modified Barthel Index (MBI) questionnaire was used to determine their functional independence. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify significant risk factors associated with sarcopenia. Results Overall prevalence of sarcopenia was detected in 5.2% of pre-dialysis CKD patients with CKD stage 3-5 contributing 0.4%, 0.8%, and 4% respectively. Multiple logistic regression models showed age (AOR: 0.966, 95% CI: 0.801-1.164), body mass index (BMI) (AOR: 0.390, 95% CI: 0.166-0.912), presence of chronic illness (AOR: 0.529, 95% CI: 0.023-12.237), MBI score (AOR: 0.644, 95% CI: 0.470-0.884, and serum albumin (AOR: 0.813, 95% CI: 0.526-1.257) were associated with sarcopenia. Conclusion The prevalence of sarcopenia increases with the deterioration of kidney function. Lower BMI and poor functional independence were found to be predictors of sarcopenia. Managing the modifiable risk factors decreases the odds of developing sarcopenia. [Disclaimer: Abstract text might vary slightly from what is displayed in the e-poster]

Wonderful life at weak Coulomb interaction: increasing of superconducting/superfluid transition temperature by disorder

description: We have shown that in systems where the Coulomb interaction is strongly suppressed, the superconducting transition temperature may be enhanced by disorder close to the Anderson localization transition. This phenomenon is based on the enhancement by disorder of the matrix element of attraction in the Cooper channel. For enhancement to take place one needs (i) strong disorder which makes the single-particle wave functions strongly inhomogeneous in space and (ii) strong correlation of the patterns of inhomogeneity for different wavefunctions. One case where such correlation is well known is the system close to the Anderson transition. We review the notion of multifractality of wavefunctions in this region and show how the enhancement of T_{c} arises out of the multifractal correlations.

Explanatory Study

description: Introduction Conventional methods through population-based surveys in measuring public perceptions and reactions during emergencies or pandemic times are costly, labor intensive and time consuming. To understand phenomenological experiences "now," it is crucial to complement measurement tools with real-time "infoveillance" approaches. We aimed to explore public perceptions and reactions towards the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia via content and thematic analyses using Twitter. Methodology Using time-series computational methods, we archived 18,467 tweets from 5932 Twitter users across Malaysia between May 10, 2020 till May 25, 2020 using R software (TwitteR package). Original tweets (excluding retweets) in English and Malay were retrieved using keywords "COVID-19," "coronavirus," "SARS-CoV-2," "2019nCoV," and/or "nCoV2019." An exploratory qualitative thematic and content analysis was performed on all eligible Tweets. Theme-wise favorite count and favorite ratios were yielded. Results Three major themes and nine sub-themes emerged from the thematic-content analyses. The major theme "personal experiences (favorite ratio=17.18)" identified direct and indirect people's experiences to being infected or observing close relatives to be infected with COVID-19, while the second major theme "risk perceptions (favorite ratio=14.97)" highlighted sub-domains of "seriousness" of infectivity and "downplayed risks" of COVID-19 infections. The third major theme "expressions and reactions (favorite ratio=12.82)" conveyed five sub-domain themes of people's emotions towards the pandemic; "relief," "frustrations," "hope," "appreciation," and "appeal." Conclusion This study highlights the need for real-time effective communication and accurate information to be disseminated to tackle psychological repercussions in unexpected times.

description: Control of transport processes in composite microstructures is critical to the development of high performance functional materials for a variety of energy storage applications. The fundamental process of conduction and its control through the manipulation of granular composite attributes (e.g., grain shape) are the subject of this work. We show that athermally jammed packings of tetrahedra with ultra-short range order exhibit fundamentally different pathways for conduction than those in dense sphere packings. Highly resistive granular constrictions and few face-face contacts between grains result in short-range distortions from the mean temperature field. As a consequence, 'granular' or differential effective medium theory predicts the conductivity of this media within 10% at the jamming point; in contrast, strong enhancement of transport near interparticle contacts in packed-sphere composites results in conductivity divergence at the jamming onset. The results are expected to be particularly relevant to the development of nanomaterials, where nanoparticle building blocks can exhibit a variety of faceted shapes.

description: To verify whether transradial (TRA) compared to transfemoral (TFA) cardiac catheterization reduces the risk of periprocedural stroke (PS). We reviewed (CRD42021277918) published real-world cohorts reporting the incidence of PS within 3 days following diagnostic or interventional catheterization. Meta-analyses and meta-regressions of odds ratios (OR) performed using the DerSimonian and Laird method were checked for publication bias (Egger test) and adjusted for false-positive results (study sequential analysis SSA). The pooled incidence of PS from 2,188,047 catheterizations (14 cohorts), was 193 (105 to 355) per 100,000. Meta-analyses of adjusted estimates (OR = 0.66 (0.49 to 0.89); p = 0.007; I2 = 90%), unadjusted estimates (OR = 0.63 (0.51 to 0.77; I2 = 74%; p = 0.000)), and a sub-group of prospective cohorts (OR = 0.67 (0.48 to 0.94; p = 0.022; I2 = 16%)) had a lower risk of PS in TRA (without indication of publication bias). SSA confirmed the pooled sample size was sufficient to support these conclusions. Meta-regression decreased the unexplained heterogeneity but did not identify any independent predictor of PS nor any effect modifier. Periprocedural stroke remains a rare and hard-to-predict adverse event associated with cardiac catheterization. TRA is associated with a 20% to 30% lower risk of PS in real-world/common practice settings. Future studies are unlikely to change our conclusion.
title: Sights and Sites of Sovereignty: Visualising Matrilineal Inheritance and Female Agency in the Middle English Melusine
Creators: name: Colquitt, Olivia
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2026

description: This thesis examines the Middle English prose romance, Melusine, reflecting in particular upon the visual frameworks underpinning the construction of individual and matrilineal identities within the narrative and its contexts. It sheds light upon medieval ideas about women, the gaze, and the body by engaging with a diverse corpus of scientific, theological, philosophical, and medical texts in circulation in the later Middle Ages. The study is likewise grounded in a consideration of Melusine’s sociocultural contexts, drawing upon its French sources and literary analogues, and analysing historical events which may have shaped responses to Melusine’s position as a supernatural founding mother. These insights are used intersectionally with contemporary explorations of gender, spatiality, and disability to analyse how resistance to normative ideologies enables Melusine to accrue power and maintain autonomy. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates that the preservation of agency and influence is contingent upon Melusine’s ability to manage degrees of visual access. The first chapter establishes the conceptual framework for the thesis, outlining medieval theories about optics, the senses, and cognition; reviewing representations of monstrosity and femaleness in medieval visual culture; and evaluating modern critical approaches to the gaze. Chapter II examines the significance of visual markers in forging collective memory and explores the recurrent visual motifs involving supernatural women in the initial episodes of Melusine. Integrating visuality with ecocriticism, Chapter III analyses how the figure of Melusine inscribes maternal influence and dynastic identity upon the landscape and exerts agency through the spaces she creates. The final chapter centres on the visualisation of non-normative bodies, fusing gender and disability theory with medieval studies of physiognomy to evaluate how cultural anxieties about maternal influence and embodied difference permeate the text. Through visuality, the thesis maps the various parameters by which notions of identity, sovereignty, and inheritance were configured in the late medieval imaginary. In doing so, Melusine is shown to give visual expression to the conflicting perspectives of female authority and ancestry that pervaded medieval English culture. As I conclude, the romance may not resolve this conflict, but it does call upon readers to reassess the genealogical contribution of those operating beyond normative hegemonies.

description: Supersonic turbulence is an essential element in understanding how structure within interstellar gas is created and shaped. In the context of star formation, many computational studies show that the mass spectrum of density and velocity fluctuations within dense clouds, as well as the distribution of their angular momenta, trace their origin to the statistical and physical properties of gas that is lashed with shock waves. In this article, we review the observations, simulations, and theories of how turbulent-like processes can account for structures we see in molecular clouds. We then compare traditional ideas of supersonic turbulence with a simpler physical model involving the effects of multiple shock waves and their interaction in the interstellar medium. Planar intersecting shock waves produce dense filaments, and generate vortex sheets that are essential to create the broad range of density and velocity structure in clouds. As an example, the lower mass behaviour of the stellar initial mass function can be traced to the tendency of a collection of shock waves to build-up a log-normal density distribution (or column density). Vorticity - which is essential to produce velocity structure over a very broad range of length scales in shocked clouds - can also be generated by the passage of curved shocks or intersecting planar shocks through such media. Two major additional physical forces affect the structure of star forming gas - gravity and feedback processes from young stars. Both of these can produce power-law tails at the high mass end of the IMF.

description: This paper contains the second part of a two-part series on the stability and instability of extreme Reissner-Nordstrom spacetimes for linear scalar perturbations. We continue our study of solutions to the linear wave equation on a suitable globally hyperbolic subset of such a spacetime, arising from regular initial data prescribed on a Cauchy hypersurface crossing the future event horizon. We here obtain definitive energy and pointwise decay, non-decay and blow-up results. Our estimates hold up to and including the horizon. A hierarchy of conservations laws on degenerate horizons is also derived.

Multiple synchrotron self-Compton modeling of gamma-ray flares in 3C 279

description: The correlation often observed in blazars between optical-to-radio outbursts and gamma-ray flares suggests that the high-energy emission region shall be co-spatial with the radio knots, several parsecs away from the central engine. This would prevent the important contribution at high-energies from the Compton scattering of seed photons from the accretion disk and the broad-line region that is generally used to model the spectral energy distribution of low-frequency peaking blazars. While a pure synchrotron self-Compton model has so far failed to explain the observed gamma-ray emission of a flat spectrum radio quasar like 3C 279, the inclusion of the effect of multiple inverse-Compton scattering might solve the apparent paradox. Here, we present for the first time a physical, self-consistent SSC modeling of a series of shock-waves in the jet of 3C 279. We show that the analytic description of the high-energy emission from multiple inverse-Compton scatterings in the Klein-Nishina limit can fairly well account for the observed gamma-ray spectrum of 3C 279 in flaring states.

description: We revisit, in the framework of Mach-Zehnder interferometry, the connection between the complementarity and uncertainty principles of quantum mechanics. Specifically, we show that, for a pair of suitably chosen observables, the trade-off relation between the complementary path information and fringe visibility is equivalent to the uncertainty relation given by Schr\"odinger and Robertson, and to the one provided by Landau and Pollak as well. We also employ entropic uncertainty relations (based on Rényi entropic measures) and study their meaning for different values of the entropic parameter. We show that these different values define regimes which yield qualitatively different information concerning the system, in agreement with findings of [A. Luis, Phys. Rev. A 84, 034101 (2011)]. We find that there exists a regime for which the entropic uncertinty relations can be used as criteria to pinpoint non trivial states of minimum uncertainty.

Phylogeography of the long-toed salamander, ambystoma macrodactylum
Creators: name: Thompson, Mark D.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2003

description: Bibliography: p. 307-348
description: The long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) was phylogeographically investigated by employing two mitochondrial genes that exhibit differential evolvability. Traditional systematics and statistical parsimony estimated haplotype phylogenies. Concordant patterns among genes, their phylogenies, and regional geography provided a testable and accountable means to map population structure and history in A. macrodactylum. Deep genealogical gaps and reciprocally monophyletic clades were consistent with vicariance across the dry Columbia Plateau. Corroborative evidence suggests Coastal and Continental Clades constitute two cohesion species. Nested clades and molecular clocks identify seven refugia that were allopatrically sub-divided during the Pleistocene. Ambystoma macrodactylum exhibits common 'salamander-type' behaviors that minimize their active dispersal distances, but the frequency of longdistance migration by passive dispersal would increase as glaciers retreated and caused flooding. Matrix correspondence tests identified a correlation between GIS friction map and genetic distance and suggest that low-elevation corridors guided populations during expansion.
