description: Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) trees in UK forests are expected to yield nearly 30% more softwood than current levels in the coming decades. These are relatively fast-growing trees, yielding low-grade wood that is incompatible with standards for glue-based lamination. Alongside this forecasted increase, there is a major worldwide shift towards building taller and faster with massive laminated and engineered wood products, mainly as substitutes for steel and concrete. For making the best use of the expected increase in UK softwood and also to expand the scope of tall wood construction, alternative ways of working with low-grade wood are needed, along with developing new variations of existing techniques in processing and construction. This thesis examines two strategies: wood modification by impregnation and stress lamination. The former involves treating wood under pressure in a liquid solution. Once impregnated, the liquid is then solidified in-situ, grafting onto the wood to enhance its properties through direct molecular interactions in the cell wall. While wood treatments are usually done to increase durability, literature and preliminary small-scale testing suggest that impregnation can also lead to increases in stiffness and strength. Compared to wood modification, stress lamination is a relatively simple yet effective technique, and is useful for laminating wood without glue. Although widely used in timber bridges, stress lamination has found little to no application in buildings, primarily due to concerns regarding losses in prestress levels from creep and the moisture-related movement and shrinkage of wood. Scale models and testing emphasise the technique’s potential for both standard and bespoke structural elements for buildings. Full-scale detailing, construction, and testing of straight columns further establishes structural performance and feasibility. Test results from shearing five full-scale stress-laminated connections show performance beyond that of conventional mechanical fasteners. Twenty-five columns were also tested at full-scale, showing comparable buckling performance to Eurocode estimates for solid timber. Examples from literature and a new detail with overdried hardwood plates, tested during a six-month period, demonstrate that prestress losses can be mitigated to ensure long-term reliability in buildings. The full-scale testing performed in this thesis therefore highlights the usefulness, performance, and reliability of stress lamination with low-grade wood for multi-storey construction.

description: Using single crystal neutron and x-ray diffraction, we discovered a charge density wave (CDW) below 320 K, which accounts for the long-sought origin of the heat capacity and resistivity anomalies in UPt2Si2. The modulation wavevector, Qmod, is intriguingly similar to the Fermi surface nesting wavevector of URu2Si2. Qmod shows an unusual temperature dependence, shifting from commensurate to incommensurate position upon cooling and becoming locked at ~ (0.42 0 0) near 180 K. Bulk measurements indicate a cross-over toward a correlated coherent state around the same temperature, suggesting an interplay between the CDW and Kondo-lattice-like coherence before coexisting antiferromagnetic order sets in at TN = 35 K.

S.2585

description: S.2585 is a significant Dunhuang manuscript, providing various types of Buddhist meditative techniques. Some techniques can be traced back to Central Asia and India, although some techniques seem to have been developed later. I argue that the vision of buddhas that accompanies single-minded contemplation of the navel as described in S.2585 may reflect the idea of a “buddha within” denoting the notions of buddha-nature and tathāgatagarbha in some contexts. I also argue that navel contemplation became an important part of Buddhist meditation practice in early Chinese Buddhism.

description: In the country, sea cucumbers are exploited almost exclusively for export. It is harvested in three ways; commercial fishing, artisanal fishing and gleaning. These methods provide disproportionate economic benefits to these players in the supply chain. In this study, sea ranching, a new culture system for sea cucumber was analyzed in terms of its economic and commercial viability. Under the sea ranching system Holothuriascabra(sandfish) is the species being raised mainly due to its high economic value. Under the traditional method, labor comprises the largest share in the total cost, while the cost of juvenile and labor (monitoring cost) accounts to almost 87% in the sea ranching system. Based on the results of the study, selling dried sandfish would gain positive net profit, while selling wet sandfish will incur a net loss. A significant difference in income was also observed between fishers who rely on traditional method and those who will adopt the new system. Sea ranching system is a very promising method that is expected to be beneficial both to the community and the environment. However, high capital requirement, uninformed community and the lack of support from the government and concerned agencies remains to be a big challenge.

description: We derive an effective Hamiltonian for ${\rm Ga}_{1-x}{\rm Mn}_x {\rm As}$ in the dilute limit, where ${\rm Ga}_{1-x}{\rm Mn}_x {\rm As}$ can be described in terms of spin $F=3/2$ polarons hopping between the {\rm Mn} sites and coupled to the local {\rm Mn} spins. We determine the parameters of our model from microscopic calculations. Our approach treats the large Coulomb interaction in a non-perturbative way, captures the effects of spin-orbit coupling and disorder, and is appropriate for other p-doped magnetic semiconductors. Our model applies to uncompensated {\rm Mn} concentrations up to $x \sim 0.03$.

In Vitro Evolution of Antibody Affinity using Libraries with Insertions and Deletions

description: In Nature, antibodies are capable of recognizing a huge variety of different molecular structures on the surface of antigens. The primary factor that defines the structural diversity of the antibody antigen combining site is the length variation of the complementarity determining region (CDR) loops. Following antigen stimulation, further diversification through the process called somatic hypermutation (SHM) leads to antibodies with improved affinity and specificity. Sequence diversification by SHM is mainly achieved by introduction of point substitutions and a small percentage of insertions/deletions (indels). Although the percentage of indels in affinity matured antibodies is low, probably due to the low rate incorporation of in-frame indels throughout the course of the SHM diversification process, it is likely that the antibody fold can accommodate higher diversity of affinity-enhancing indels. By in vitro evolution, other researchers have sampled either only restricted diversity of indels or extended diversity of insertions only in specific positions chosen based on structural information and natural length variation. The aim of this thesis was to study the impact of random and high diversity indels on antibody affinity by in vitro evolution. New approaches for construction of libraries with in-frame amino acid indels were applied to enable sampling of indels of different lengths across the entire antibody variable domains. I followed two different approaches for construction of indel libraries. Firstly, a recently developed random approach allowed the construction of libraries with random insertions and deletions. Secondly, a semi-random approach was developed to build libraries with different lengths of insertions that could be widely applied in future in vitro antibody affinity maturation campaigns. Libraries constructed by either of these approaches yielded variants with insertions with improved affinity. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that insertions besides offering alternative routes to affinity maturation can also be combined with point substitutions to take advantage of additive effects on function.

description: The study determined the nutritional status of under five children in Komenda Edina EguafoAbirem (KEEA) districts in Central region, Ghana. Weight and height measurements for 120 children selected from 4 clusters were taken and survey data collected by structured questionnaire from mothers of the selected children. Prevalence of underweight/severely underweight stunting/severely stunted and wasting/severely wasted was 13.3%, 34.2% and 10.8% respectively. Results also indicated that stunting, wasting and underweight were more prevalent in girls than in boys and in children aged >2 - 5 years than those <2 years. Wasting only occurred in a small percentage of the boys and girls, and children <2 years.Survey revealed that there is a significant association between nutritional status of children and mothers’ age, education, nutrition knowledge and feeding practices. Wald statistics and confidence intervals after adjusting for mother’s age, education, occupation, father’s occupation and feeding practices showed mothers nutrition knowledge, feeding practices and mothers’ education as predictors of children nutrition status.Curbing teenage pregnancy, encouraging girls to pursue education, developing and implementing a comprehensive nutrition education programme for mothers with emphasis on providing quality nutritious and adequate food to children is highly recommended.

Can the 33s pulsations observed from AE Aquarii be explained in terms of accretion onto the white dwarf surface?
Creators: name: Ikhsanov, Nazar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The 33 s pulsing component observed from AE Aqr is frequently assumed to be the result of accretion onto the surface of a rotating white dwarf. The validity of this assumption is discussed in the present paper. I show that under the conditions of interest the white dwarf is in the state of supersonic propeller and the efficiency of plasma penetration into its magnetosphere is < 0.1%. This is too small to explain the observed luminosity of the pulsing component. Moreover, I find that for the currently established value of the angle between the magnetic and rotational axes of the white dwarf, the material entering the magnetosphere at the boundary can never reach its surface by flowing along the magnetic field lines. I conclude that the assumption about the direct accretion onto the surface of the white dwarf in AE Aqr contradicts the observational data obtained in the optical/UV and thus cannot be accepted.

description: Pakistan is an agricultural country where 45% population is connected with agriculture. This population consists of males and females doing farming for their survival. Males are kept under consideration always while women potential is underestimated. Women work side by side with their males and remain involved in farming activities especially indoor cultivation of vegetables. In this regard, the present study was conducted in Gujranwala district of Punjab, to assess the situation of women regarding vegetables cultivation along with their need assessment regarding farming. In this regard through multistage random sampling, 500 women farmers doing vegetables farming were selected as respondents. Data were collected through structured interview schedule and were analyzed with the help of SPSS. Results revealed that literacy level of women in study area was lower. Regarding vegetables traditional framing was being adopted while adoption of improved techniques such as tunnel farming was not impressive at all. Inappropriate market existence appeared as the most vulnerable constraint along with the poor services provided by extension field staff, finance shortage and high inputs prices. On the basis of results it is suggested that literacy programme by government especially for women should be started. Female extension staff should also be appointed especially for home based farming activities training provision. Subsidy should be provided on inputs to reduce the cost of production. More important, government should pay attention on establishment of sustainable market separate for organically and chemically produced vegetables.

description: We measure neutrino charged current quasielastic-like scattering on hydrocarbon at high statistics using the wide-band NuMI beam with neutrino energy peaked at 6 GeV. The double-differential cross section is reported in terms of muon longitudinal and transverse momentum. Cross-section contours versus lepton momentum components are approximately described by a conventional generator-based simulation, however discrepancies are observed for transverse momenta above 0.5 GeV/c for longitudinal momentum ranges 3 to 5 GeV/c and 9 to 20 GeV/c. The single differential cross section versus momentum transfer squared ($dσ/dQ_{QE}^2$) is measured over a four-decade range of $Q^2$ that extends to $10~GeV^2$. The cross section turn-over and fall-off in the $Q^2$ range 0.3 to $10~GeV^2$ is not fully reproduced by generator predictions that rely on dipole form factors. Our measurement probes the axial-vector content of the hadronic current and complements the electromagnetic form factor data obtained using electron-nucleon elastic scattering. These results help oscillation experiments because they probe the importance of various correlations and final-state interaction effects within the nucleus, which have different effects on the visible energy in detectors.

description: This project is a comprehensive investigation into the application of the exchange interaction, particularly with the realization of the SWAP^1/n quantum operator, in quantum information processing. We study the generation, characterization and application of entanglement in such systems. Given the non-commutativity of neighbouring SWAP^1/n gates, the mathematical study of combinations of these gates is an interesting avenue of research that we have explored, though due to the exponential scaling of the complexity of the problem with the number of qubits in the system, numerical techniques, though good for few-qubit systems, are found to be inefficient for this research problem when we look at systems with higher number of qubits. Since the group of SWAP^1/n operators is found to be isomorphic to the symmetric group Sn, we employ group-theoretic methods to find the relevant invariant subspaces and associated vector-states. Some interesting patterns of states are found including onedimensional invariant subspaces spanned by W-states and the Hamming-weight preserving symmetry of the vectors spanning the various invariant subspaces. We also devise new ways of characterizing entanglement and approach the separability problem by looking at permutation symmetries of subsystems of quantum states. This idea is found to form a bridge with the entanglement characterization tool of Peres-Horodecki’s Partial Positive Transpose (PPT), for mixed quantum states. We also look at quantum information taskoriented ‘distance’ measures of entanglement, besides devising a new entanglement witness in the ‘engle’. In terms of applications, we define five different formalisms for quantum computing: the circuit-based model, the encoded qubit model, the cluster-state model, functional quantum computation and the qudit-based model. Later in the thesis, we explore the idea of quantum computing based on decoherence-free subspaces. We also investigate ways of applying the SWAP^1/n in entanglement swapping for quantum repeaters, quantum communication protocols and quantum memory.

description: Recent research outcomes on segmentation of round wood markets of non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners in Finland have shown that alternative research methods based on behavioural outcomes provide accurate results on trends and preferences of market choice. These alternative research methods are based on analysing interdependencies within the dyadic relationships of private suppliers and industrial buyers of round wood. Consistent data analysis focusing on goals and attitudes of NIPF sellers has repeatedly proposed significant considerations for establishing a new type of group segmentation in the round wood market in Finland. Thus the evidence which supports alternative market segmentation either provides additional information to the traditionally established segmented groups based on the analysis of socio-economic data or even in some cases propose to replace them with new definitions which further contribute to the power of the data of the model. Additionally, these new definitions propose that latent factor variables are extremely significant in their role of key informant within the research model as well as in helping to explain the error term of the established research models. In other words, these new research approaches increase the power of simplicity of the model as well as confirm the significance of both behavioural motives and drivers of choice. The survey data on NIPF owners was collected in January 2012 via the delivery of 2200 questionnaires. A total of 550 questionnaires were valid and included in the data analysis. Data analysis was conducted with a confirmatory approach and extracted the underlying variables with factor analysis methods of maximum likelihood and oblimin rotation. Specifically, results of the research model consistently confirms that supplier-buyer relationships are either relational, interismistic, or transactional and that objectives behind their behavioural motives are based either on satisfying the level of economic safety (Marslow, 1943), keeping up with level of own well-being and life satisfaction (NEF, 2009), or helping to lower the impact of ecological footprint on forests (NEF, 2009).

Moreover, our results indicate that the phase is robust, with gaps, critical temperature, and free energy comparable to those of the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase. Our calculations also predict ``crystalline superfluidity'' in ultracold gases of fermionic atoms.

description: Dynamic velocity dispersion and mass estimates are given for a sample of five X-ray luminous rich clusters of galaxies at intermediate redshifts (z~0.3) drawn from a sample of 39 clusters for which we have obtained gravitational lens mass estimates. The velocity dispersions are determined from between 9 and 20 redshifts measured with the LDSS spectrograph of the William Herschel Telescope, and virial radii are determined from imaging using the UH8K mosaic CCD camera on the University of Hawaii 2.24m telescope. Including clusters with velocity dispersions taken from the literature, we have velocity dispersion estimates for 12 clusters in our gravitational lensing sample. For this sample we compare the dynamical velocity dispersion estimates with our estimates of the velocity dispersions made from gravitational lensing by fitting a singular isothermal sphere profile to the observed tangential weak lensing distortion as a function of radius. In all but two clusters, we find a good agreement between the velocity dispersion estimates based on spectroscopy and on weak lensing.

TEMPEST
Side-channel attack

description: Electronic devices emanate unintentional electromagnetic radiation from which an attacker can extract sensitive information. In video display units these are quasiperiodic: nearly periodic in the short term. Video-eavesdropping attacks on these, a main motivation for the use of TEMPEST shielded equipment in security-critical applications, have evolved little since first publicly demonstrated by van Eck in 1985. I investigate digital signal processing techniques that exploit the quasiperiodic nature of digital video signals, with TMDS-encoded data on HDMI/DVI cables as the main example. After first discussing the practicalities of intercepting compromising emanations from the UHF frequency band, using a software-defined radio platform to perform IQ down conversion, I outline the process to carry out a video eavesdropping attack, and methods for rasterising intercepted data. Using a database of video modes, such as VESA and CEA standards, I identify viable eavesdropping targets by fitting likely harmonics of emanating clock signals to a model. Video signals contain blanking intervals that create characteristic periodicities; cepstral features can be used to eliminate false positives, and provide improved performance over autocorrelation as a method of recovering synchronisation frequencies. The signal-to-noise ratio of intercepted emanations is often very poor. Coherent periodic averaging in the complex domain can suppress noise and uncorrelated background sources. I design a phase-locked loop to perform clock recovery and synchronisation of the video signal, negating the effects of temperature drift in the local oscillators. This permits averaging arbitrary-length recordings, increasing the range at which an attack can be performed. I discuss the implications this may have on existing protection standards. Finally, I present a method to recover bandwidths higher than that which the SDR frontend hardware is nominally capable of. I use the cross-correlation between multiple overlapping lower-bandwidth recordings to correct time and phase offsets, and a zero-phase Linkwitz-Riley filter pair to combine them. The resulting higher-bandwidth recordings improve raster clarity, and enable use of a hidden Markov model to recover colour information.
The "inversion relation" method for obtaining the free energy of the chiral Potts model

description: We derive the free energy of the chiral Potts model by the infinite lattice ``inversion relation'' method. This method is non-rigorous in that it always needs appropriate analyticity assumptions. Guided by previous calculations based on exact finite-lattice functional relations, we find that in addition to the usual assumption that the free energy be analytic and bounded in some principal domain of the rapidity parameter space that includes the physical regime, we also need a much less obvious symmetry. We can then obtain the free energy by Wiener-Hopf factorization in the complex planes of appropriate variables. Together with the inversion relation, this symmetry relates the values of the free energy in all neighbouring domains to those in the principal domain.

description: It is shown that the spin is naturally introduced into classical mechanics if the latter is formulated as dynamics of the phase space density. It is shown that the uncertainty principle, as the amendment in this dynamics, restricts possible spins, and in particular equation for the particle with the spin $\hbar /2$ is derived. Also equation for the charge with this spin is derived when electromagnetic field is included. In one example it is shown that the modulus of the spin changes with the gradient of the magnetic field.

description: Baryonic feedback effects lead to a suppression of the weak lensing angular power spectrum on small scales. The poorly constrained shape and amplitude of this suppression is an important source of uncertainties for upcoming cosmological weak lensing surveys such as Euclid or LSST. In this first paper in a series of two, we use simulations to build a Euclid-like tomographic mock data-set for the cosmic shear power spectrum and the corresponding covariance matrix, which are both corrected for baryonic effects following the baryonification method of Schneider et al. (2019). In addition, we develop an emulator to obtain fast predictions of the baryonic power suppression, allowing us to perform a likelihood inference analysis for a standard $Λ$CDM cosmology with both cosmological and astrophysical parameters. Our main findings are the following: (i) ignoring baryonic effects leads to a greater than 5$σ$ bias on the cosmological parameters $Ω_m$ and $σ_8$; (ii) restricting the analysis to the largest scales, that are mostly unaffected by baryons, makes the bias disappear, but results in a blow-up of the $Ω_m$-$σ_8$ contour area by more than a factor of 10; (iii) ignoring baryonic effects on the covariance matrix does not significantly affect cosmological parameter estimates; (iv) while the baryonic suppression is mildly cosmology dependent, this effect does not noticeably modify the posterior contours. Overall, we conclude that including baryonic uncertainties in terms of nuisance parameters results in unbiased and surprisingly tight constraints on cosmology.

description: We present the radio light curves of lensed images of the gravitational lens B1422+231. The observations have been carried out using the VLA at 8.4 and 15 GHz over a period of 197 days. We describe a method to estimate the time delay from the observed light curves. Using this method, our cross-correlation analysis shows that the time delay between images B and A is 1.5$\pm$1.4d, between A and C is 7.6$\pm$2.5d, between B and C is 8.2$\pm$2.0d. When applied to other lensed systems with measured time delays our new method gives comparable results.

Active Cloaking in Stokes Flows via Reinforcement Learning

description: Hydrodynamic signatures at the Stokes regime, pertinent to motility of micro-swimmers, have a long-range nature. This implies that movements of an object in such a viscosity-dominated regime, can be felt tens of body-lengths away and significantly alter dynamics of the surrounding environment. Here, we devise a systematic methodology to actively cloak swimming objects within any arbitrarily crowded suspension of micro-swimmers. Specifically, our approach is to conceal the target swimmer throughout its motion using cooperative flocks of swimming agents equipped with adaptive decision-making intelligence. Through a reinforcement learning algorithm, the cloaking agents experientially learn optimal adaptive behavioral policy in the presence of flow-mediated interactions. This artificial intelligence enables them to dynamically adjust their swimming actions, so as to optimally form and robustly retain any desired arrangement around the moving object without disturbing it from its original path. Therefore, the presented active cloaking approach not only is robust against disturbances, but also is non-invasive to motion of the cloaked object. We then further generalize the proposed approach and demonstrate how our cloaking agents can be readily used, in any region of interest, to realize hydrodynamic invisibility cloaks around any number of arbitrary intruders.

description: Over the past few decades, Participatory Forest Management (PFM) has emerged as a key strategy internationally. Following the recognition that centralized and expert-dependent forest management practices have been unsuccessful in halting deforestation, the government of Ethiopia, with assistance from international donors, has been implementing PFM pioneer projects since the early 1990’s. The experiment is based on the assumption that participation of local communities, which are the major stakeholders using the forest resources, is essential for reversing the de facto open access to forests. The PFM pilot projects have used a diversity of implementation strategies, however, that need to be evaluated before a national PFM strategy can be formulated. The present paper conducts an evaluation of the institutional set up and the outcomes of seven pioneer old PFM sites distributed in Oromia and Southern Nations Nationalities and People Regional states. Outcomes are assessed as forest users’ perceived changes (before and after pioneer projects) in (1) ownership feeling over the resource (2) change in forest condition (3) change in livelihood of members, and (4) stability of the PFM institutions. Qualitative data was collected in focus group discussions, semi-structured and key informants interviews. Our findings indicate that in most sites the forest cover and ownership feelings of the community have improved after introduction of PFM. Post project assessment, however, shows that weak law enforcement, revocation of PFM agreements by the government, high project staff turnover and inequitable forest benefit distribution endangers the sustainability of PFM in Ethiopian pioneer projects. The paper argues that scaling up PFM without consideration for these issues risks multiplying mistakes.

description: We present a maximum likelihood analysis of cosmological parameters from measurements of the aperture mass up to 35 arcmin, using simulated and real cosmic shear data. A four-dimensional parameter space is explored which examines the mean density Ω_M, the mass power spectrum normalization σ_8, the shape parameter Γand the redshift of the sources z_s. Constraints on Ω_M and σ_8 (resp. Γand z_s) are then given by marginalizing over Γand z_s (resp. Ω_M and σ_8). For a flat LCDM cosmologies, using a photometric redshift prior for the sources and Γ\in [0.1,0.4], we find σ_8=(0.57\pm0.04) Ω_M^{(0.24\mp 0.18) Ω_M-0.49} at the 68% confidence level (the error budget includes statistical noise, full cosmic variance and residual systematic). The estimate of Γ, marginalized over Ω_M \in [0.1,0.4], σ_8 \in [0.7,1.3] and z_s constrained by photometric redshifts, gives Γ=0.25\pm 0.13 at 68% confidence. Adopting h=0.7, a flat universe, Γ=0.2 and Ω_m=0.3 we find σ_8=0.98 \pm0.06 . Combined with CMB, our results suggest a non-zero cosmological constant and provide tight constraints on Ω_M and σ_8. We finaly compare our results to the cluster abundance ones, and discuss the possible discrepancy with the latest determinations of the cluster method. In particular we point out the actual limitations of the mass power spectrum prediction in the non-linear regime, and the importance for its improvement.
