Falling between the gaps: appraising the past and future of widening participation at Liverpool John Moores University
Creators: name: Mason, Chris
Publisher: name: Innovations in Practice
Year: 2017

description: Of the many challenges facing Higher Education in the United Kingdom, widening participation is one of the most critical. Despite the support for enhancing access to Higher Education for excluded groups, such as ethnic minorities, forthcoming cuts in funding mean it will be harder for many insitutions to meet their commitments to Widening Participation. This paper reviews the history of Widening Participation in higher education in the United Kingdom, focussing on the potential impact of current policy initiatives and the economic environment on Widening Participation at Liverpool John Moores University. The paper recognises the macro-level impact of increasing marketization of Higher Education on Widening Participation initiatives. It also explores micro-level issues, such a staff awareness and commitment to widening participation policy.

Creators: name: Boddy, Lynne M
Publisher: name: Innovations in Practice
Year: 2017

description: The aim of this pilot study wsa to investigate international students' expectations and experiences of teaching and learning in semester one on undergraduate food based courses, and to investigate if there were any difference between level 1, 2 and 3 students. Components of two validated questionnaires were used to address these aims. Expectations and experiences of teaching and learning were generally positive for the whole cohort. There were some small differences between level 1, 2 and 3 students. Furthermore, 4 components from the experiences of teaching and learning part of the questionnaire showed significant differences between the groups. Future research may focus on comparisions between 'home' and international students, and studies should be suitably powered and include males and females, mature students and students from varied international backgrounds

A natural language processing and geospatial clustering framework for harvesting local place names from geotagged housing advertisements
Creators: name: Hu, Yingjie

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Information Retrieval (cs.IR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Local place names are frequently used by residents living in a geographic region. Such place names may not be recorded in existing gazetteers, due to their vernacular nature, relative insignificance to a gazetteer covering a large area (e.g., the entire world), recent establishment (e.g., the name of a newly-opened shopping center), or other reasons. While not always recorded, local place names play important roles in many applications, from supporting public participation in urban planning to locating victims in disaster response. In this paper, we propose a computational framework for harvesting local place names from geotagged housing advertisements. We make use of those advertisements posted on local-oriented websites, such as Craigslist, where local place names are often mentioned. The proposed framework consists of two stages: natural language processing (NLP) and geospatial clustering. The NLP stage examines the textual content of housing advertisements, and extracts place name candidates. The geospatial stage focuses on the coordinates associated with the extracted place name candidates, and performs multi-scale geospatial clustering to filter out the non-place names. We evaluate our framework by comparing its performance with those of six baselines. We also compare our result with four existing gazetteers to demonstrate the not-yet-recorded local place names discovered by our framework.

description: A time integration scheme based on the Laplace Transform (LT) has been implemented in a baroclinic primitive equation model. The LT scheme provides an attractive alternative to the popular semi-implicit (SI) scheme. Analysis shows that it is more accurate than SI for both linear and nonlinear terms of the equations. Numerical experiments confirm the superior performance of the LT scheme. The algorithmic complexity of the LT scheme is comparable to SI, with just an additional transformation to vertical eigenmodes each time step, and it provides the possibility of improving weather forecasts at comparable computational cost.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Objects moving in fluids experience patterns of stress on their surfaces determined by the geometry of nearby boundaries. Flows at low Reynolds number, as occur in microscopic vessels such as capillaries in biological tissues, have relatively simple relations between stresses and nearby vessel geometry. Using these relations, this paper shows how a microscopic robot moving with such flows can use changes in stress on its surface to identify when it encounters vessel branches.

Dabei handelt es sich um eine XSD-Schemadatei, die als eine Art Vorlage für digitale Kalibrierscheine für alle Messgrößen im XML-Format dient. Eine Umsetzung braucht daher immer noch weitere, fachspezifische Festlegungen. Um die Anwendungsmöglichkeit für die Massekalibrierung von Gewichten und Gewichtssätzen zu prüfen und die damit verbundenen Festlegungen zu treffen, ist im DKD-Fachausschuss Masse und Waagen eine Expertengruppe gebildet worden, die das vorliegende Dokument als Ergebnis erstellt hat. Im Folgenden werden die Inhalte für den digitalen Kalibrierschein für Massekalibrierungen an Gewichten und Gewichtssätzen erläutert. Das vorliegende Dokument bezieht sich auf die Version 3.0.0 des DCC-Schemas. Es wird für die Umsetzung empfohlen sich auf die jeweils neueste Version des Schemas zu beziehen, diese ist momentan die Version 3.1.2. Diese Version ist vollständig abwärtskompatibel und ermöglicht unter anderem eine verbesserte Angabe von Referenzen. Ausgehend von den kontinuierlichen Veränderungen im Bereich digitaler Zertifikate kann dieser Bericht nur den aktuellen Stand der Diskussionen darstellen, was bei jeglicher Bewertung oder Referenzierung berücksichtigt werden sollte. Dies können Änderungen in der Schemadatei oder übergeordnete Festlegungen wie z. B. abgestimmte refTyp-Attribute sein. Die restlichen Regelungen behalten unbetroffen davon ihre Gültigkeit.

We define a gap cross section and, in perturbative QCD (pQCD), resum all the leading logarithms in the soft intermediate energy. We show that the numerical result from our cross section reproduces the shape of the D0 and CDF \cite{D0,CDF,D0fig} experimental data.

description: The hydrodynamic equations of an ideal fluid formed by a dilute quantum gas in a parabolic trapping potential are studied analytically and numerically. Due to the appearance of internal modes in the fluid stratified by the trapping potential, the spectrum of low-lying modes is found to be dense in the high-temperature limit, with an infinitely degenerate set of zero-frequency modes. The spectrum for Bose-fluids and Fermi-fluids is obtained and discussed.

description: While mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are among the most studied of insect groups, much remains unknown about their distribution and response to environmental impacts such as prescribed burns. Blackwater Ecological Preserve, located near Zuni, Virginia, is a relict long leaf pine barren, parts of which undergo periodic prescribed burns to maintain and restore this fire-dependent ecosystem. To assess the impact of prescribed burns on mosquito activity and to determine associations between seasonal patterns of adult mosquito activity and habitat type, CDC light traps baited with dry ice were set (rom late April through October at Blackwater Ecological Preserve during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. The results of this study suggest that fire does have an impact on patterns of adult mosquito activity and that, in most cases, distinct distribution patterns of association exist between seasonal adult mosquito activity and known larval habitat types as defined by functional groups. This study was one of the first to examine mosquito responses to fire disturbance, and the first to identify species distributions in burned and unburned habitats. The unexpected abundance of many of the permanent water species in the burned areas raises new questions about adult mosquito habitat use and emphasizes how much is yet to be learned about mosquito biology.

description: We have searched for second generation leptoquark (LQ) pairs in the μμ+jets channel using 94+-5 pb^{-1} of pbar-p collider data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1993-1996. No evidence for a signal is observed. These results are combined with those from the μν+jets and νν+jets channels to obtain 95% confidence level (C.L.) upper limits on the LQ pair production cross section as a function of mass and $beta, the branching fraction of a LQ decay into a charged lepton and a quark. Lower limits of 200(180) GeV/c^2 for β=1(1/2) are set at the 95% C.L. on the mass of scalar LQ. Mass limits are also set on vector leptoquarks as a function of β.

description: We compute the QCD corrections to the decay rate difference in the $B_s-\bar B_s$ system, $ΔΓ_{B_s}$, in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation using the heavy quark expansion approach. Going beyond leading order in QCD is essential to obtain a proper matching of the Wilson coefficients to the matrix elements of local operators from lattice gauge theory. The lifetime difference is reduced considerably at next-to-leading order. We find $(ΔΓ/Γ)_{B_s}=(f_{B_s}/210 MeV)^2 [0.006 B(m_b)+0.150 B_S(m_b)-0.063]$ in terms of the bag parameters $B, B_S$ in the NDR scheme. As a further application of our analysis we also derive the next-to-leading order result for the mixing-induced CP asymmetry in inclusive $b\to u\bar ud$ decays, which measures $\sin 2α$.

description: In this paper, we investigate the partition inequality, joint convexity, and Pinsker's inequality, for a divergence that generalizes the Tsallis Relative Entropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence. The generalized divergence is defined in terms of a deformed exponential function, which replaces the Tsallis $q$-exponential. We also constructed a family of probability distributions related to the generalized divergence. We found necessary and sufficient conditions for the partition inequality to be satisfied. A sufficient condition for the joint convexity was established. We proved that the generalized divergence satisfies the partition inequality, and is jointly convex, if, and only if, it coincides with the Tsallis relative entropy. As an application of partition inequality, a criterion for the Pinsker's inequality was found.

Exploring the protective effects of resveratrol and interactions with dietary fat in a mouse model of BRAFV600E driven colorectal cancer
Creators: name: Theofanous, Despoina
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenol found in red wine and a variety of plants, is widely known for its cancer preventive activity and has been shown to counteract the pro-tumorigenic effects of high-fat diets (HFD) in mouse models of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, little is known regarding the underlying mechanisms. This project aims to provide mechanistic insight on how HFD promotes tumourigenesis and how this is ameliorated by resveratrol, with a focus on effects in BRAFV600E-driven CRC.
BRAFV600E male mice were randomised to a standard-fat or HFD supplemented with low or high-dose resveratrol (0.07ppm or 143ppm, respectively) for ~9-weeks. Microbiome, metabolomics, cytokine-array approaches were employed for the analysis of mouse plasma and intestinal tissue, as well as immunofluorescence analysis of lipid distribution. A HFD in the presence of a BRAFV600E mutation was not associated with microbial signature alternations, however pronounced alterations in the metabolome and inflammatory profiles were observed upon dietary-fat challenge in the BRAFV600E mice. A 143ppm resveratrol-dose protected against the alterations arising as a consequence of BRAFV600E combined with HFD, via suppression of metabolic and inflammatory changes including RAGE, and FGF-21 proteins. In addition, immunofluorescence staining revealed that resveratrol can counteract the HFD alterations in lipid metabolism in a dose-dependent manner, as evidenced by a reduction in lipid droplet-bound proteins PLIN2 and CIDEB within intestinal sections of BRAFV600E and APCMIN mice, which was explored as a second model of CRC.
Overall, results indicate that a high, clinically-achievable dose of resveratrol is able to counteract the metabolic, inflammatory and lipid metabolism derangements associated with HFD in the mouse models of CRC employed. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of resveratrol action that may help the clinical translation of this polyphenol for use in the prevention and treatment of conditions caused by HFDs and metabolic disorders, including CRC.
Case Study: The development of a learning communities model to support the delivery of high quality physical education intitial teacher training and continuing professional development
Creators: name: Hepworth, Nicky
Publisher: name: Innovations in Practice
Year: 2017

description: This paper explores the potential of a proposed learning communities model to support high quality physical education initial teacher training and continuing professional development. A case study strategy has been implemented focused on secondary physical education within the context of a university and school initial teacher training partnership. The purpose of the study was to examine the context and delivery of mentor training for schools in an initial teacher training partnership through a learning communities perspective. It developed the notion that mentors involved with initial teaching training were engaged in continuing professional development through the nature of their role and expectation of the partnership. A grounded theory approach was adopted to utilise evidence gathered from questionnaires to the 150 PE partnership schools, participant observation and a selection of interviews. The results showed an emergence of a number of key concepts that support a successful learning communities model to develop ITT and CPD. The conclusion reflects on the possible need to reconfigure our view of partnership in ITT and the way that it is resourced and managed.

description: The role played by non-extensive thermodynamics in physical systems has been under intense debate for the last decades. Some possible mechanisms that could give rise to non-extensive statistics have been formulated along the last few years, in particular the existence of a fractal structure in thermodynamic functions for hadronic systems. We investigate the properties of such fractal thermodynamical systems, in particular the fractal scale invariance is discussed in terms of the Callan-Symanzik~equation. Finally, we propose a diagrammatic method for calculations of relevant quantities.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: A new non-perturbative framework for many-body correlated systems is formulated by extending the operator projection method (OPM). This method offers a systematic expansion which enables us to project into the low-energy structure after extracting the higher-energy hierarchy. This method also opens a way to systematically take into account the effects of collective excitations. The Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model is studied by means of this projection beyond the second order by taking into account magnetic and charge fluctuations in the presence of the high-energy Mott-Hubbard structure. At half filling, the Mott-Hubbard gap is correctly eproduced between the separated two bands. Near half filling, a strongly renormalized low-energy single-particle excitations coexisting with the Mott-Hubbard bands are shown to appear. Signifcance of momentum-dependent self-energy in the results is stressed.

description: The Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (LTHE) programme has been in place at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) since 1995; one of the first to be nationally recognised by the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA). Since then it has been revised several times drawing on a range of sources and influences including participant feedback, local and national educational initiatives and research into student learning to keep the curriculum relevant, up to date and appropriately challenging. In 2007 the programme underwent a major review which included mapping the LJMU aims and outcomes to the United Kingdom's Professional Standards Framework that had been published in Februrary 2006. This paper outlines the impact on one participant of one of the changes introduced in 2007. It attempts to demonstrate how an assessment task set at the start of the course influenced a senior lecturer in music from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and provided him with a framework for on-going interrogation of his teaching within the wider higher education (HE) context.

description: We propose a construction of frequentist confidence intervals that is effective near unphysical regions and unifies the treatment of two-sided and upper limit intervals. It is rigorous, has coverage, is computationally simple and avoids the pathologies that affect the Likelihood Ratio and related constructions. Away from non-physical regions, the results are exactly the usual central two-sided intervals. The construction is based on including the physical constraint in the derivation of the estimator, leading to an estimator with values that are confined to the physical domain.

description: A single magnetic atom on a surface epitomizes the scaling limit for magnetic information storage. Indeed, recent work has shown that individual atomic spins can exhibit magnetic remanence and be read out with spin-based methods, demonstrating the fundamental requirements for magnetic memory. However, atomic spin memory has been only realized on thin insulating surfaces to date, removing potential tunability via electronic gating or distance-dependent exchange-driven magnetic coupling. Here, we show a novel mechanism for single-atom magnetic information storage based on bistability in the orbital population, or so-called valency, of an individual Co atom on semiconducting black phosphorus (BP). Distance-dependent screening from the BP surface stabilizes the two distinct valencies and enables us to electronically manipulate the relative orbital population, total magnetic moment and spatial charge density of an individual magnetic atom without a spin-dependent readout mechanism. Furthermore, we show that the strongly anisotropic wavefunction can be used to locally tailor the switching dynamics between the two valencies. This orbital memory derives stability from the energetic barrier to atomic relaxation and demonstrates the potential for high-temperature single-atom information storage.

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the contribution of process innovation capability, IT integration and flexibility to innovation performance in the Malaysian electrics and electronics (E&E) sector. This study adopted a quantitative approach. Questionnaires were distributed to Malaysian E&E manufacturers registered with the Federations of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) via email and postal mail. A total of 52 valid responses were obtained and analyzed using correlation analysis. A significant but weak relationship was found between IT integration and innovation performance. A significant and strong relationship was found between process innovation capability and innovation performance. The study is among the first to look specifically at Malaysia’s E&E sector. The findings are of interest to academics as well as to public and private sector practitioners in directing resources to integrating IT and increasing the process innovation capability to achieve enhanced innovation performance
What does a beige top and a load of boxes have to do with teaching?

description: According to Darling Hammond (2006) teaching is a serious business which involves developing policies and practices fro 'powerful learning' which meet the needs of learners. So, does it really matter what you wear; where and how you stand; how you speak; what you do with your hands or what the room looks like? You might not think so on first thought but we have discovered that it does makes a difference and is important. A small group of staff has been working with an external consultant on just these matters as well as individually developing their own particular needs and having fun with it. This short reflection shares with you a project about 'Peer Review' - but perhaps not as you would know it.

description: Providing effective feedback to students has been repeatedly associated as a key strategy in the learning and teaching process (Poulos & Mahony, 2007). However, much of the research on student feedback has focused on timing, content and student interpretation (Knight & Yorke, 2003; Yorke 2002).

Spin-Peierls transition of the first order in S=1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains
Creators: name: Onishi, Hiroaki

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We investigate a one-dimensional S=1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model coupled to a lattice distortion by a quantum Monte Carlo method. Investigating the ground state energy of the static bond-alternating chain, we find that the instability to a dimerized chain depends on the value of the spin-phonon coupling, unlike the case of S=1/2. The spin state is the dimer state or the uniform Haldane state depending on whether the lattice distorts or not, respectively. At an intermediate value of the spin-phonon coupling, we find the first-order transition between the two states. We also find the coexistence of the two states.

description: In this study, we have proposed a new type of tactile sensor that is capable of detecting the stiffness of soft objects. The sensor consists of a brass cylinder with an axial bore. An iron core can easily move inside the bore. Three peripheral bobbins were machined in the cylinder around which three coils have been wound. One of the coils was excited with an alternating current which caused a voltage to be induced in two other coils. A return spring was used to return the core to its initial position after it has been moved. The sensor was pressed against the surface of the object whose stiffness was going to be measured. The position of the core in this state was depended on the stiffness of the given object and the spring constant and was measured by measuring the change in the induced voltage in secondary coils. The proposed sensor was capable of measuring two contact parameters namely the applied force and the stiffness of the object. Using the data of this sensor, three different objects, made of polyurethane, silicon rubber and paraffin gel were discriminated. Thus, this sensor could be used in robot hands and minimally invasive surgery tools to improve their operation.

description: Recently metal nanoparticles have become increasingly attractive adsorbents for the isolation of various compounds. In this regard, this investigation aims to evaluate the removal performance of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles as a novel adsorbent for tartaric acid from aqueous solution. For this aim, this study presents the preparation, characterization, and adsorption properties of CuO nanoparticles for the isolation of tartaric acid. CuO nanoparticles were synthesized by utilizing a simple procedure and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area. Afterwards, the removal properties of CuO nanoparticles were assessed under various adsorption conditions. CuO nanoparticles exhibited the highest removal performance with a higher adsorption capacity value of 619.23 ± 2.08 mg g−1. The Freundlich isotherm model was achieved to be the most accurate model with an R2 value of 0.9533. Moreover, the pseudo-second order model was the most favorable to the kinetic measurements with an R2 value of 0.9967. The results obtained in this study indicate that CuO nanoparticles have good removal properties for tartaric acid and may be employed as an efficient novel adsorbent for its isolation from the aqueous solution and wastewater.

An aGENDER for developing professional practice in teaching and learning
Creators: name: Smears, Lizzie
Publisher: name: Innovations in Practice
Year: 2017

description: The Professional Standards Framework within Higher Education has provided academics with a benchmark, one that acknowledges their professionalsim by providing "the best possible learning experience for their students" (HEA 2007). The application process to acquire professional recognition requires academics to reflect upon the domains of their activity through which they evidence core knowledge and professional values. Evidencing practice through reflection is a useful process, for it offers an opportunity to pause, and explore the space for deep engagement in what it means to be professional. This paper addresses itself to the space 'in between us' and asks what of the 'personal' infiltrates the 'professional'. In other words how do academics locate their sense of self within the learning envionrment in which they work? A question that is explored in this paper is what impact does personal embodied experience have upon the way in which we present ourselves professionally, and how does acknowledgement of personal epistemology inform the ways in which we engage with students in their own learning. In order to unravel these questions it is fruitful to acknowledge theory that explores the experience of being embodied as 'ground of our being' and 'our first home' (Halprin, 2003)
