description: This thesis investigates the ethnic discrimination faced by the minority communities under different scenarios. Chapter 2 examines ethnic discrimination in the rental housing market in England using an online experiment. We investigate discrimination by running a large scale experiment where fictious identities sent inquiries to property advertisements posted on a leading property portal signalling different ethnicities and specific personal information. For the experiment, 5,545 online inquiries were made. Results suggest significant differential treatment towards potential tenants based on applicant's ethnicity. We find that inquiries sent with British sounding names have better chance of being invited for property viewing compared to the Non-British applicants. The estate agents further discriminate based on the information provided on the inquiry form. We also analyse heterogeneous effects. Chapter 3 explores the ethnic discrimination in the rental housing market through telephone inquiry method. We test for discrimination in the English rental market via telephone inquiries by trained callers from different ethnic backgrounds. We made 1,472 rental inquiries where the ethnic identity and explicit accent associated with the identity were signalled directly to the estate agents. We find that the British applicants are more likely to be booked in for viewing a property or offered a call back. Chapter 4 investigates ethnic discrimination while conducting stop and search by the police officials in England and Wales. I used the latest available data on stop and search and police workforce to assess ethnic disproportionality and explore the effect of ethnic composition of the police workforce on it. I find that even though the number of stop and search has been declining, there exists ethnic disproportionality for minority communities. Blacks suffer the highest disproportionality in stops and searches and its extent varies across the regions. I also find that more diversity in the police workforce, especially in those categories with stop and search power significantly reduces the search disproportionality for Black and Minority Ethnicities (BME).
“Lest we forget” : a project to identify University of British Columbia School of Nursing graduates who served in the World Wars 1914-1918 and 1939-1945

description: While writing Legacy, the history of the University of British Columbia’s School of Nursing,we discussed the possibility of including a list of graduates who had served in World War II; such a list is a common entry in most histories of Canadian schools of nursing. However, we could find no archival records of UBC nurses who served in the War. In fact, the University itself has no complete honour roll of graduates who had served with the forces, although students working on the Totem and Ubyssey made attempts both during and immediately following the war to compile one. Some faculties and departments have also made efforts along these lines because many UBC students left the campus to enlist when the War broke out and many new graduates joined the forces immediately after graduation. An honour roll of those killed was developed for UBC’s Memorial Gymnasium, which opened in 1951; this is on permanent display in the Gym foyer.

description: The aim of this work is the characterization of biogenic residues and their possible use as feedstock for hydrothermal liquefaction. In the course of this work ten different biogenic residues and two different microalgae strains were tested for their applicability in hydrothermal liquefaction. Experiments were carried out at 350 °C with a holding time of 15 minutes. The product yields could be determined via a mass balance. Biocrude yields between 9.43 % (green waste) and 70.40 % (grease separator) were achieved. The oxygen content was reduced in all biocrude samples during HTL in favour of higher carbon contents compared to the raw material samples.

description: The shape space of k labelled points on a plane can be identified with the space of pure quantum states of dimension k-2. Hence, the machinery of quantum mechanics can be applied to the statistical analysis of planar configurations of points. Various correspondences between point configurations and quantum states, such as linear superposition as well as unitary and stochastic evolution of shapes, are illustrated. In particular, a complete characterisation of shape eigenstates for an arbitrary number of points is given in terms of cyclotomic equations.

description: FeRh based alloys may display an uncommon transition from a ferromagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state upon cooling. The transition takes place roughly above room temperature and it can be sensitively modulated by composition and external parameters, including pressure and strain. Consequently, thin films of FeRh have received attention for applications in spintronics, antiferromagnetic spintronics and sensing. Interestingly, the extreme sensitivity of its properties to strain has created expectations for energy friendly voltage-control of the magnetic state of FeRh, with a number of potential applications at the horizon. Here, after summarizing the current understanding of strain effects on the magnetic properties of FeRh thin films, we review achievements on exploiting piezoelectric substrates for in-operando tuning of their magneto-electric properties. We end with a brief summary and an outlook for future initiatives.

description: Assuming that at small distances space-time is equivalent to an elastic medium which is isotropic in space and time directions, we demonstrate that the quantum nematic liquid arising from this crystal by spontaneous proliferation of dislocations corresponds with a medium which is merely carrying curvature rigidity. This medium is at large distances indistinguishable from Einstein's spacetime of general relativity. It does not support torsion and possesses string-like curvature sources which in spacetime form world surfaces.

description: We present 7mm observations of the dusty disk surrounding the 10 Myr old 1.5 Msun pre-main-sequence star CQ Tauri obtained at the Very Large Array with 0.8 arcsecond resolution and 0.1 mJy rms sensitivity. These observations resolve the 7mm emission in approximately the north-south direction, confirming previous results obtained with lower resolution. We use a two-layer flared disk model to interpret the observed fluxes from 7mm to 1.3mm together with the resolved 7mm structure. We find that the disk radius is constrained to the range 100 to 300 AU, depending on the steepness of the disk surface density distribution. The power law index of the dust opacity coefficient, beta, is constrained to be 0.5 to 0.7. Since the models indicate that the disk is optically thin at millimeter wavelengths for radii greater than 8 AU, the contribution of an optically thick region to the emission is less than 10%. This implies that high optical depth or complex disk geometry cannot be the cause of the observed shallow millimeter spectral index. Instead, the new analysis supports the earlier suggestion that dust particles in the disk have grown to sizes as large as a few centimeters. The dust in the CQ Tauri system appears to be evolved much like that in the TW Hydra system, a well-studied pre-main-sequence star of similar age and lower mass. The survival of gas-rich disks with incomplete grain evolution at such old ages deserves further investigations.

Hypothetical hyperbolic encounters between Venus and proto-Mercury that partially \ stripped away proto-Mercury's mantle

description: Mercury has an unusually large metal core comprising ~70% of its mass comparing to all other terrestrial planets in the solar system. Giant impacts can remove a significant fraction of the silicate mantle of a chondritic proto-Mercury and form the iron rich present-day Mercury. However, such high-temperature giant impacts seem at odds with the retainment of moderately volatile elements on present-day Mercury (Peplowski et al. 2011). We simulated a series of hyperbolic encounters between proto-Mercury and proto-Venus, which may occur in the chaotic early solar system. Tidal disruption of proto-Mercury always removes part of its silicate mantle while its iron core remains intact. We find, in favourable cases, four close encounters with fast spinning projectiles (resulting from previous encounters) can lead to present-day Mercury iron fraction. More encounters are needed when the spin and orbital angular momentum are not always aligned. These hyperbolic encounters have various outcomes, such as orbital decay, binary planets and change of spin rates. These results suggest the importance of proper treatment of close encounters in N-body simulations of planetary accretion.

description: The need of making quick decisions is a vital factor in today’s industrial production business to stay competitive. Being up to date regarding vital decision criteria such as production and process data is difficult, raising the demand of highly developed quick decision tools. Thus, it is important to decide on the right tools capable of predicting basic process behavior without much effort. This paper presents an approach that decreases the model complexity of an indirect-fired heat treatment line, making it possible to simulate global process parameters as for example temperature profiles at the respective furnace regions.
Intelligence Reform in Indonesia: Transparency and Effectiveness against Terrorist Threats
Creators: name: Puguh Sadadi
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis provides a detailed analysis of the process of intelligence reform in Indonesia. By employing critical realism (CR), this study aims to reveal the mystery of intelligence reform by examining the underlying mechanism, thereby proposing a new explanation. Intelligence reform in Indonesia, as a case study, serves to demonstrate the applicability of realist modelling. Aligning CR with critical discourse analysis (CDA) to analyse intelligence reform requires an explanation of the structure and agency around intelligence reform. Democratisation in Indonesia since 1998 undoubtedly has changed its social structure, which has enabled the transformation from authoritarian to democracy including state institutions like intelligence. The roles of structure and agency in any transformation is vital and thereby hold the key to understanding intelligence reform. Although this study stressed on the particular case of intelligence reform in Indonesia, it also included a comparison with countries that experienced similar intelligence reform, namely Brazil and Romania. The purpose of said comparison is to provide a broad theoretical framework to countries other than Indonesia. In this pursuit, to complement CR and CDA, this research develops a scientific approach by creating a frame for comparative study using three concepts: (1) level of freedom and democracy; (2) culture of national intelligence (CNI); and (3) civil-military relations (CMR). By synthesizing these three concepts, it was found from this study that, the comparative section of this thesis has displayed an interpretative measurable level of intelligence reform. Thus, I argue that the application of CR, CDA and typology of intelligence reform in this study presented the existing underlying mechanism of intelligence reform that unique to each case. For Indonesia, the underlying mechanism was the balance of triangle tension between military, civilian intelligence and police.

The instruments will be a narrow-field X-ray detector array with an area of 6 m^2 equal to ten times that of RXTE and a wide-field X-ray monitor. We describe the science made possible with this mission, the design of the instruments, and results on prototype large-area X-ray detectors.

description: The Project Renewable Gasfield connects the long-term storage of renewable excess power (from PV) and synchronized regional production of green gases such as hydrogen and synthetic natural gas (SNG). These green gases can be locally used in different sectors or can be fed into the existing gas grid. The so called Power-to-Gas technology (electrolysis and methanation plant) will be assembled within the framework of Renewable Gasfield and “Vorzeigeregion Energie” in the southern part of Styria. A newly erected photovoltaic plant feeds green electricity to PEM electrolysis for the generation of green hydrogen. The electrolysis is coupled with an innovative, load-flexible methanation plant in which raw biogas, without an upstream CO2 separation, will be transformed with hydrogen to green synthetic natural gas. As output gases renewable hydrogen, usable for the sectors industry and mobility, and green synthetic natural gas for feed-in into the existing gas grid will be generated.  For the dimensioning of the load-flexible methanation plant variations of the process parameters were tested in the pilot methanation plant at Montanuniversity Leoben. The generated research data provide a basis for a successful realization and commissioning of the demo plant.

description: We report on the XMM-Newton observations of the young, 102 ms pulsar PSR B1706-44. We have found that both a blackbody plus power-law and a magnetized atmospheric model plus power-law provide an excellent fit to the EPIC spectra. The two scenarios are therefore indistinguishable on a statistical basis, although we are inclined to prefer the latter on physical grounds. In this case, assuming a source distance of ~2.3 kpc, the size of the region responsible for the thermal emission is R~13 km, compatible with the surface of a neutron star. A comparison of the surface temperature of PSR B1706-44 obtained from this fit with cooling curves favor a medium mass neutron star with M~1.45 solar masses or M~1.59 solar masses, depending on two different models of proton superfluidity in the interior. The large collecting area of XMM-Newton allows us to resolve a substructure in the broad soft X-ray modulation detected by Chandra, revealing the presence of two separate peaks with pulsed fractions of 7 +/- 4% and 15 +/- 3%, respectively.

description: With the advent of 3D printing, advanced geometries started replacing the conventional designs in electric machines. Various modified rotor, stator and coil designs are 3D printed to enhance the machine properties and minimize the losses but there are still some heat losses generated which can cause temperature rise inside the motor and disturb the stability of machine, unless this heat is removed from the machine properly. Motors use conventional housing with fins or cooling systems to remove this heat but it provides poor heat transfer and affects the performance of the motor. This paper focuses on developing Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) housing structures with varying heights, volume fractions and cell sizes to optimize heat management in the motor. TPMS provides heat dissipation in multiple directions as compared to conventional fin. They provide a large surface area to volume ratio, hence better heat dissipation & heat distribution within the structure, improving performance and saving material. Mathematical modeling and numerical simulations of these structures using Finite Volume Method are done, and results of each structure are investigated and compared. Comparison with another research work is also done to justify the results. Finally, an optimal structure is chosen to replace the original housing structure. Comparative analysis is done to study the improvement in properties. Results are compared with conventional housing. Complete heat analysis of the original and proposed design is presented. Heat distribution and propagation is carried out. Improved results and the future scope of the project is presented.© 2024 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.

description: To land, flying animals must simultaneously reduce speed and control their path to the target. While the control of approach speed has been studied in many different animals, little is known about the effect of target size on landing, particularly for small targets that require precise trajectory control. To begin to explore this, we recorded the stingless bees Scaptotrigona depilis landing on their natural hive entrance—a narrow wax tube built by the bees themselves. Rather than decelerating before touchdown as most animals do, S. depilis accelerates in preparation for its high precision landings on the narrow tube of wax. A simulation of traffic at the hive suggests that this counterintuitive landing strategy could confer a collective advantage to the colony by minimizing the risk of mid-air collisions and thus of traffic congestion. If the simulated size of the hive entrance increases and if traffic intensity decreases relative to the measured real-world values, ‘accelerated landing' ceases to provide a clear benefit, suggesting that it is only a useful strategy when target cross-section is small and landing traffic is high. We discuss this strategy in the context of S. depilis' ecology and propose that it is an adaptive behaviour that benefits foraging and nest defence.

description: Structure in the Universe is widely believed to have originated from quantum fluctuations during an early epoch of accelerated expansion. Yet, the patterns we observe today do not distinguish between quantum or classical primordial fluctuations; current cosmological data is consistent with either possibility. We argue here that a detection of primordial non-Gaussianity can resolve the present situation, and provide a litmus-test for the quantum origin of cosmic structure. Unlike in quantum mechanics, vacuum fluctuations cannot arise in classical theories and therefore long-range classical correlations must result from (real) particles in the initial state. Similarly to flat-space scattering processes, we show how basic principles require these particles to manifest themselves as poles in the $n$-point functions, in the so-called folded configurations. Following this observation, and assuming fluctuations are (i) correlated over large scales, and (ii) generated by local evolution during an inflationary phase, we demonstrate that: the absence of a pole in the folded limit of non-Gaussian correlators uniquely identifies the quantum vacuum as the initial state. In the same spirit as Bell's inequalities, we discuss how this can be circumvented if locality is abandoned. We also briefly discuss the implications for simulations of a non-Gaussian universe.

description: We show some new properties of the acoustic propagation in two-dimensional sonic crystals, formed by parallel rigid cylinders placed in air. The transmission through slabs of sonic crystals and the associated band structures are considered. It is shown that within partial bandgaps, the waves tend to be collimated or guided into the direction in which the propagation is allowed. Such a feature also prevails in the situations in which deaf bands appear. We show that within the partial bandgaps, a stable imaging effect can be obtained for flat sonic crystal slabs, in analogy to the cases with photonic crystals.

description: We use the state-of-the-art high-resolution cosmological simulations by IllustrisTNG to derive the velocity distribution and local density of dark matter in galaxies like our Milky Way and find a substantial spread in both quantities. Next we use our findings to examine the sensitivity to the dark matter velocity profile of underground searches using electron scattering in germanium and silicon targets. We find that sub-GeV dark matter search is strongly affected by these uncertainties, unlike nuclear recoil searches for heavier dark matter, especially in multiple electron-hole modes, for which the sensitivity to the scattering cross-section is also weaker. Therefore, by improving the sensitivity to lower ionization thresholds not only projected sensitivities will be boosted but also the dependence on the astrophysical uncertainties will become significantly reduced.

description: Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a new topic in the field of electrical machines (EMs), offering the potential to overcome the limitations in the design of EMs. Through AM, complex 3D geometries and the utilization of Fe-Si cores with 6.5% silicon can be achieved, leading to enhanced EM performance without concerns about manufacturing cost and complexity. This paper provides an overview of various AM methods and materials used in manufacturing soft magnetic cores for EMs, with a particular emphasis on the multi-physics properties of these cores. Due to the distinct fusion processes in each AM method, the microstructural properties of the printed cores vary, leading to diverse multi-physics properties that require detailed investigation. The paper outlines both the benefits and challenges associated with AM techniques and materials. Importantly, it explores the detailed characteristics of Fe-Si and Fe-Co cores manufactured through different AM methods, comparing them with commercial laminations such as 35A300, JNEX Super Core, and Hiperco 50A.© 2024 IEEE.

description: Focus of this study was to review which aspects of working memory, and to what extent, are associated with verbal fluency. It is generally believed that working memory consists of the phonological loop, the visuospatial sketchpad and the central executive. The aim of this study was to examine the interaction of the visuospatial sketchpad and central executive with semantic and phonemic fluency. Our research hypotheses were (1) there will be a positive correlation between the visuospatial sketchpad and semantic fluency, (2) the correlation effect sizes will differ depending on semantic category and (3) there will be a positive correlation between the central executive and both fluency tasks. The visuospatial sketchpad was assessed with the Spatial Working Memory test, and the central executive with the Attention Switching Task (both tests are part of the CANTAB test battery). The study included 20 participants, ranging from 18 to 30 years of age. According to Levelt et al. (1999) lexical access is the ability to retrieve grammatical representations and sound forms of words from the mental lexicon, and the executive control ability controls and regulates thought and direct behavior toward a general goal. Furthermore, in performing the semantic fluency task, a validated tool for lexical access assessment, participants rely on existing links between concepts or words in word retrieval (e.g., cat) and can automatically activate semantically associated words (e.g., dog, tiger), while in performing the phonemic fluency task such associations need to be inhibited. In accordance with Levet’s model, the results of this study suggest that the central executive functions may play a great role in the performance of both fluency tasks, and that the visuospatial component has an important role only in semantic fluency. Therefore, differences in the two fluencies likely depend on different mechanisms of the mental lexicon.

description: To land, flying animals must simultaneously reduce speed and control their path to the target. While the control of approach speed has been studied in many different animals, little is known about the effect of target size on landing, particularly for small targets that require precise trajectory control. To begin to explore this, we recorded the stingless bee Scaptotrigona depilis landing on their natural hive entrance—a narrow wax tube built by the bees themselves. Rather than decelerating before touchdown as most animals do, S. depilis accelerates in preparation for its high precision landings on the narrow tube of wax. A simulation of traffic at the hive suggests that this counterintuitive landing strategy could confer a collective advantage to the colony by minimizing the risk of mid-air collisions and thus of traffic congestion. If the simulated size of the hive entrance increases and if traffic intensity decreases relative to the measured real-world values, ‘accelerated landing' ceases to provide a clear benefit, suggesting that it is only a useful strategy when target cross-section is small and landing traffic is high. We discuss this strategy in the context of S. depilis' ecology and propose that it is an adaptive behaviour that benefits foraging and nest defence.

description: Individual members of an ensemble of identical systems coupled to a common probe can become entangled with one another, even when they do not interact directly. We investigate how this type of multipartite entanglement is generated in the context of a system consisting of two two-level atoms resonantly coupled to a single mode of the electromagnetic field. The dynamical evolution is studied in terms of the entanglements in the different bipartite partitions of the system, as quantified by the I-tangle. We also propose a generalization of the so-called residual tangle that quantifies the inherent three-body correlations in our tripartite system. This enables us to completely characterize the phenomenon of entanglement sharing in the case of the two-atom Tavis-Cummings model, a system of both theoretical and experimental interest.

description: We study BPS spectra of D-branes on local Calabi-Yau threefolds $\mathcal{O}(-p)\oplus\mathcal{O}(p-2)\to \mathbb{P}^1$ with $p=0,1$, corresponding to $\mathbb{C}^3/\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ and the resolved conifold. Nonabelianization for exponential networks is applied to compute directly unframed BPS indices counting states with D2 and D0 brane charges. Known results on these BPS spectra are correctly reproduced by computing new types of BPS invariants of 3d-5d BPS states, encoded by nonabelianization, through their wall-crossing. We also develop the notion of exponential BPS graphs for the simplest toric examples, and show that they encode both the quiver and the potential associated to the Calabi-Yau via geometric engineering.
