DISPERSAL IN CARABIDS
Creators: name: Newell, Simon C.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1986

description: The study consisted primarily of a number of surveys in brassica fields, using pitfall and gutter traps. At all sites a number of different species of carabids were marked and released. From the pitfall trapping it was found that different carabid species inhabitated different parts of the field, particularly in relation to the field boundaries. Two common species, Nebria brevicollis and Bembidion lampros, over-wintered in the hedgebanks, moving out into the fields in the spring. Two other common species, Pterostichus melanarius and Harpalus rufipes, were primarily associated with the field, but activity in the field boundaries continued later into the year. Marking concentrated on four species; P. cupreus, P. melanarius, H. rufipes and N. brevicollis. At all sites the recapture rate of rufipes was much lower than that of P. melanarius, though they are of similar size. Using this data, mean displacement/day was calculated for each species. To identify the causes for the differences in recapture rate between the species, two species were individually tracked at night, in the field. Positions every two minutes were recorded and the distance and turn between each point measured. The results showed that H. rufipes had a higher turn rate and moved less than melanarius. The data from tracking was incorporated into a computer simulation model which recreated the beetles' tracks, using the same time interval. Traps were added and the model used to simulate the recapture experiments in the field. Changes in dispersal patterns were used to create differences in the catch in different patches. It was found that changes in turning behaviour could not produce changes in density, because of behaviour at the boundaries. Delaying the change in behaviour produces differences in numbers, but orientation is the most likely mechanism. The relationship between step length, turn and catch was also evaluated.

Locating clustered seismicity using Distance Geometry Solvers: applications for sparse and single-borehole DAS networks

description: The determination of seismic event locations with sparse networks or single-borehole systems remains a significant challenge in observational seismology. Leveraging the advantages of the location approach HADES, which was initially developed for locating clustered seismicity recorded at two stations, we present here an improved version of the methodology: HADES-R. Where HADES previously needed a minimum of 4 absolutely located master events, HADES-R solves a least-squares problem to find the relative inter-event distances in the cluster, and uses only a single master event to find the locations of all events, and subsequently applies rotational optimiser to find the cluster orientation. It can leverage iterative station combinations if multiple receivers are available, to describe the cluster shape and orientation uncertainty with a bootstrap approach. The improved method requires P- and S-phase arrival picks, a homogeneous velocity model, a single master event with a known location, and an estimate of the cluster width. The approach is benchmarked on the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence recorded at two stations, and applied to two seismic clusters at the FORGE geothermal test site, including a microseismic monitoring scenario with a DAS in a vertical borehole. Traditional procedures struggle in these settings due to the ill-posed network configuration. The azimuthal ambiguity in this scenario is partially overcome by assuming that all events belong to the same cluster around the master event and a cluster width estimate. We find the cluster shape in both cases, although the orientation remains uncertain. The method's ability to constrain the cluster shape and location with only one well-located event offers promising implications, especially for environments where limited or specialised instrumentation is in use.

description: In this study we explore the use of natural CO2 emissions in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) in Wyoming, USA to study responses of natural vegetation to elevated CO2 levels. Radiocarbon (14C) analysis of leaf biomass from a conifer (Pinus contortus; lodgepole pine) and an invasive, non-native herb (Linaria dalmatica; Dalmation toadflax) was used to trace the inputs of vent CO2 and quantify assimilation-weighted CO2 concentrations experienced by individual plants near vents and in comparable locations with no geologic CO2 exposure. The carbon and oxygen isotopic composition and nitrogen percent of leaf biomass from the same plants was used to investigate photosynthetic responses of these plants to naturally elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The coupled shifts in carbon and oxygen isotope values suggest that dalmation toadflax responded to elevated CO2 exposure by increasing stomatal conductance with no change in photosynthetic capacity and lodgepole pine apparently responded by decreasing stomatal conductance and photosynthetic capacity. Lodgepole pine saplings exposed to elevated levels of CO2 likewise had reduced leaf nitrogen concentrations compared to plants with no enhanced CO2 exposure, further suggesting widespread and dominant conifer down-regulated photosynthetic capacity under elevated CO2 levels near geologic vents.

THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SURFING TOURISM AT REMOTE DESTINATIONS
Creators: name: Hugues Dit Ciles, Emily Kate
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2009

description: Surfing is an increasing component of the adventure tourism sector. Growth in surfing as a lifestyle, sporting activity and industry has generated a surge of exploration and intrusion by surfing tourism into remote and vulnerable destinations worldwide in the "search" for uncrowded waves at uncharted locations. Consequendy, there have been concerns at the impacts of surfing tourism on coastal, island and marine areas, often characterised by fragile environments and host communities, compounded the lack of management in isolated regions, and of the surfing tourism industry. The aim of this study was to examine surfing tourism in remote and sensitive destinations and evaluate its consequences and sustainability in relation to socio-cultural, economic and environmental parameters, and thereby, derive planning and management requirements for remote surfing destinations and the surfing tourism industry. A hybrid, multidisciplinary approach was employed based on twelve exploratory interviews, and empirical case study of three distinct remote surfing destinations: (a) Gnaraloo (Australia) - representative of unmanaged surfing tourism in a relatively pristine area; (b) Lagundi (Indonesia) which experienced rapid uncontrolled development resulting in significant environmental, socio-cultural and economic impacts; and (c) Tavarua Island (Fiji) - generally regarded as a leading example of sustainable surfing tourism. Difficulties in managing surfing tourism in remote areas include the mobility of surf tourists and the isolated and vast distribution of destinations. Impacts can be reduced with appropriate management but an educational approach and a level of self-management by surf tourists and surf tour operators is required. With planning and management, community involvement in decision-making and the use of recreational cairying capacity as a management control for tourist numbers, surfing tourism can provide economic and soaal opportumties -without compromising sustainabihty objectives.

description: There is general agreement that solar radiation will one day be an important source of energy. There is considerable disagreement as to when this energy source will be supplying a substantial percent of the world’s needs. The two principle areas where solar energy could become instrumental are in heating and in the production of electricity. In recent years significant advances have been made in heating, to the point where numerous firms are marketing solar heating systems. On the other hand, solar electricity is still years away from wide-spread use. The first solar-electric plant should be ready to generate around 1985.

description: The magnetic properties of naturally layered intermetallic compound SmMn2Si2 with textured structure have been studied. There exist a ferromagnetic transition at 35 K and two antiferromagnetic transitions at 120 and 230 K. The antiferromagnetic state below 230 K exhibits different magnetoresistance, with a negative magnetoresistance of 3%–4% for current I applied perpendicular to the c axis and with a positive magnetoresistance effect of about 4%–6% for current I parallel to the c axis. The observed magnetoresistance is likely to be related to magnetovolume effects. In the ferromagnetic state, a positive magnetoresistance with a maximum increase of 22% under an applied field of 5 T is observed at 4 K, and both H ˔ I and H ǁ I configurations show positive magnetoresistance.

description: The highly complicated nature of far from equilibrium systems can lead to a complete breakdown of the physical intuition developed in equilibrium. A famous example of this is the Mpemba effect, which states that non-equilibrium states may relax faster when they are further from equilibrium or, put another way, hot water can freeze faster than warm water. Despite possessing a storied history, the precise criteria and mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon are still not known. Here we study a quantum version of the Mpemba effect that takes place in closed many body systems with a U(1) conserved charge: in certain cases a more asymmetric initial configuration relaxes and restores the symmetry faster than a more symmetric one. In contrast to the classical case, we establish the criteria for this to occur in arbitrary integrable quantum systems using the recently introduced entanglement asymmetry. We describe the quantum Mpemba effect in such systems and relate properties of the initial state, specifically its charge fluctuations, to the criteria for its occurrence. These criteria are expounded using exact analytic and numerical techniques in several examples, a free fermion model, the Rule 54 cellular automaton, and the Lieb-Liniger model.

description: We consider the quasinormal modes, quasibound states and superradiant instability of a rotating hairy black hole, which possesses a Horndeski hair as deviation from Kerr black hole, under the perturbation of massive scalar field. With the use of the matrix method, we mainly calculate the eigenfrequencies related to those modes of the perturbation. Under the perturbation of the massless scalar field, the Horndeski hair and spin parameter have significant influences on the quasinormal frequency, but its imaginary part is always finite negative and no unstable mode is found. Under the perturbation of the massive scalar field, we focus on the eigenfrequencies of quasibound states and find the modes of which the imaginary part of eigenfrequencies is positive, indicating that the black hole undergoes superradiant instability. Then we scan the parameters and figure out a diagram in the space of Horndeski hair and spin parameters to distinguish the rotating hairy black hole with superradiant instability from the stable one.

description: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) has been proposed to solve small-scale problems in $Λ$CDM cosmology. In previous work, constraints on the self-interaction cross-section of dark matter have been derived assuming that the self-interaction cross-section is independent of velocity. However, a velocity-dependent cross-section is more natural in most theories of SIDM. Using idealized $N$-body simulations without baryons, we study merging clusters with velocity-dependent SIDM. In addition to the usual rare scattering in the isotropic limit, we also simulate these systems with anisotropic, small-angle (frequent) scatterings. We find that the collision-less brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) has an offset from the DM peak that grows at later stages. Finally, we also extend the existing upper bounds on the velocity-independent, isotropic self-interaction cross-section to the parameter space of rare and frequent velocity-dependent self-interactions by studying the central densities of dark matter-only isolated haloes. For these upper-bound parameters, the DM-BCG offsets just after the first pericentre in the dark matter-only simulations are found to be $\leq$ 10 kpc. On the other hand, because of BCG oscillations, we speculate that the distribution of BCG offsets in a relaxed cluster is a statistically viable probe. Therefore, this motivates further studies of BCG off-centring in hydrodynamic cosmological simulations.

In doing so, we reduce the problem of finding spherically symmetric hyperbolic monopoles to a problem in representation theory. Additionally, we determine constraints on the structure groups of such monopoles. Using these results, we construct novel spherically symmetric $\mathrm{Sp}(n)$ hyperbolic monopoles.

description: Recent experiments have uncovered a distinctive magnetic metal in lightly-doped multilayer graphene, coined the \textit{quarter metal}. This quarter metal consolidates all the doped carriers, originally distributed evenly across the four (or twelve) Fermi surfaces of the paramagnetic state, into one expansive Fermi surface by breaking time-reversal and/or inversion symmetry. In this work, we map out a comprehensive mean-field phase diagram of the quarter-metal in rhombohedral trilayer graphene within the four dimensional parameter space spanned by the density $n_e$, interlayer electric potential $U$, external magnetic field parallel to the two-dimensional material plane $B_{\parallel}$ and Kane-Mele spin-orbit coupling $λ$. We found an annular Lifshitz phase transition and a Ising-XY phase transition and locate these phase boundaries on the experimental phase diagram. The movement of the Ising-XY phase boundary offers insights into $λ$. Our analysis reveals that it moves along the line $\partial n_e/\partial B_{\parallel} \sim -0.5\times 10^{11} \text{cm}^{-2}\text{T}^{-1}$ within the $n_e$-$B_{\parallel}$ parameter space when $λ=30μ$eV. Additionally, we estimated the in-plane spin susceptibility of the valley-Ising quarter-metal $χ_{_\parallel}\sim 8~μ\text{eV} ~\text{T}^{-2}$. Beyond these quantitative findings, two general principles emerge from our study: 1) The valley-XY quarter metal's dominance in the $n_e-U$ parameter space grows with an increasing number of layers due to the reduce valley polarization variations within the Fermi sea. 2) Layer polarization near the band edge plays an important role in aiding the re-entrance of the paramagnetic state at low density. The insights derived from the quarter metal physics may shed light on the complex behaviors observed in other regions of the phase diagram.

description: The influence of substrate temperature and annealing conditions on structure, magnetic, and magnetotransport properties of NiMnGa films was investigated, and the crucial effect of substrate temperature was confirmed. It was found that amorphous disordered films are formed during deposition on a substrate held at room temperature. Postdeposition annealing leads to partial recrystallization and recovery of magnetic properties. Annealing at 773 K does not allow the formation of crystal structure, which is created during deposition on substrates held at the same temperature. The highest values of magnetoresistance were observed in the films with a well-defined crystal structure.

description: To explore the impact of social distance and information presentation types on
self-other risk preferences in monetary tasks. Risk preferences were examined
in decision-making tasks and experiential information tasks within different
frameworks when participants made decisions for themselves and others.
Experiment 1 employed experiential decision tasks and revealed individual
differences in decision-making for oneself and others. In gain situations,
participants exhibited more risk aversion when deciding for others compared to
themselves. Experiment 2 presented both types of information simultaneously
to investigate whether risk decisions for oneself and others are influenced by
information types. Results indicated that experiential information led participants
to make more conservative choices for others, while descriptive information
eliminated this effect. This study discovered the influence of social distance on
self-other risk decisions and the role of information presentation types in self
and other risk decision-making. Future research could further explore self-other
decision-making from the perspectives of decision-makers’ traits and culture.

Recently there has been a world wide renaissance in the use of earth as a building material due to its architectural versatility and environmental sustainability. However, in the United Kingdom it is regarded by the majority of building professionals as either obsolete or a novel historical material. The utilisation of earth as a modern building material and the repair of historic earth building structures is retarded by the uncertainty of the knowledge of the properties of the material. This thesis considers earth building materials as composite materials containing a cohesive, low compression modulus binder fraction, a high compression modulus aggregate fraction, and a fibre fraction. The compression properties of a building material without fibre content (cob matrix material) are described in terms of the interaction between the binder and aggregate fractions, and moisture and the binder fraction. The effect of the moisture content of the material upon the compression failure mechanisms is described. Values of compression modulus predicted by a rule of mixtures equation are compared to experimental results for this material. The following mechanisms are proposed to account for the apparent discrepancy between the predicted and experimental results: • the effect of pore size distribution and the proportions of binder and aggregate fractions upon strain magnification within the material • the effect of an efficiency factor, primarily dependent upon the proportion of binder and aggregate fractions, which determines the degree to which the potential modulus of the material is realised. Time Domain Reflectometry is employed for repeated, real time, non destructive measurement of the moisture content of an external cob wall. The results of these measurements are analysed and discussed. This thesis proposes that consideration of cob as a composite material has developed a paradigm which will enhance the level of understanding of all earth building materials, enabling the manipulation and accurate prediction of their structural properties. This will be an important contribution to the realisation of the significant sustainable qualities of earth building materials by the current construction industry.
The development of reasoning heuristics in autism and in typical development

description: Reasoning and judgment under uncertainty are often based on a limited number of simplifying heuristics rather than formal logic or rule-based argumentation. Heuristics are low-effort mental shortcuts, which save time and effort, and usually result in accurate judgment, but they can also lead to systematic errors and biases when applied inappropriately. In the past 40 years hundreds of papers have been published on the topic of heuristics and biases in judgment and decision making. However, we still know surprisingly little about the development and the cognitive underpinnings of heuristics and biases. The main aim of my thesis is to examine these questions. Another aim is to evaluate the applicability of dual-process theories of reasoning to the development of reasoning. Dual-process theories claim that there are two types of process underlying higher order reasoning: fast, automatic, and effortless (Type 1) processes (which are usually associated with the use of reasoning heuristics), and slow, conscious and effortful (Type 2) processes (which are usually associated with rule-based reasoning). This thesis presents eight experiments which investigated the development of reasoning heuristics in three different populations: typically developing children and adolescents between the age of 5 and 16, adolescents with autism, and university students. Although heuristic reasoning is supposed to be basic, simple, and effortless, we have found evidence that responses that are usually attributed to heuristic processes are positively correlated with cognitive capacity in the case of young children (even after controlling for the effects of age). Moreover, we have found that adolescents with autism are less susceptible to a number of reasoning heuristics than typically developing children. Finally, our experiments with university students provided evidence that education in statistics increases the likelihood of the inappropriate use of a certain heuristic (the equiprobability bias). These results offer a novel insight into the development of reasoning heuristics. Additionally, they have interesting implications for dual-process theories of reasoning, and they can also inform the debates about the rationality of reasoning heuristics and biases.
BEHAVIOUR, WELFARE AND NUTRITION OF GROUP-HOUSED SOWS FED IN AN ELECTRONIC SOW FEEDING SYSTEM

description: A programme of study was undertaken to assess the welfare status of multiparous gestating sows housed in dynamic groups in a straw yard and fed by electronic sow feeders (ESF). Comparison of production figures from the Seale-Hayne herd with those nationally confirmed its status as a typical commercial unit. In an initial series of investigations, detailed ethograms were compiled to describe the animals' repertoire of activities and interactions. Lying and straw manipulation were found to be the predominant behaviours and attacks directed towards the head were the most commonly performed type of interaction. Although there was little evidence of aggressive behaviour, most interactions were found to occur in areas where there was an obvious source of competition, namely the feeding and lying areas. A recording scale was devised to assess the level of skin damage arising from aggressive interactions. Whilst data revealed a relationship between parity and the extent of injury, both the frequency and intensity of injury were found to be low for all animals and there was very little evidence of vulva biting, commonly cited as a major criticism of group-housing systems. Animals were observed to rest predominantly in the lying area. There was an association between parity and resting location, with older animals occupying those areas perceived to be more favourable. Recently introduced gilts and sows were observed to integrate gradually with the main group. An argument is put forward for the existence of sub-groups based upon parity within the main group, although it was concluded that it was difficult to prove such a theory. A series of voluntary feed intake (VFI) trials revealed that the animals' feeding motivation was not satisfied by the allowance fed in gestation. Results from a trial when animals were offered a high fibre, low energy diet in comparison with their conventional feed suggested that the animals had a requirement for a certain level of energy and were not motivated simply by a desire for gut-fill. However, a subsequent investigation into the animals feeding behaviour did not reveal any evidence of a frustrated feeding motivation; there was little evidence of non-feeding visits and few animals were recorded in the feed queue throughout the day. It is concluded that sows can be group-housed in a dynamic system on a restricted feed intake without detriment to their welfare or productivity status. A number of factors were found to be critical to the success of such a system including the freedom for animals to behave as individuals, the regular provision of fresh straw and adequate space for newly introduced animals to integrate gradually with the herd.

description: The Hellings-Downs (HD) curve plays a crucial role in search for nano-hertz gravitational waves (GWs) with pulsar timing arrays. We discuss the angular pattern of correlations for pulsar pairs within a celestial hemisphere. The hemisphere-averaged correlation curve depends upon the sky location of a GW compact source like a binary of supermassive black holes. If a single source is dominant, the variation in the hemisphere-averaged angular correlation is greatest when the hemisphere has its North Pole at the sky location of the GW source. Possible GW amplitude and source distance relevant to the current PTAs by using the hemisphere-averaged correlation are also studied.

Sustainable Heritage Management

description: Sustainability is one of the key challenges facing society in the twenty-first century. The adoption of sustainable practices in the heritage sector resonates with its long-established objectives to conserve and enhance the historic environment, although its implementation can also present significant dilemmas for the commodification, integrity, authenticity, accessibility and viability of these resources, particularly where sites are tourist attractions. The aim of this thesis was to investigate progress in the adoption of sustainable practices in heritage properties and sites in Devon and Cornwall. The findings were based on the compilation of an inventory of selected heritage resources; an extensive questionnaire survey of managers of historic houses and castles, historic churches, and museums and archives (416 responses), which investigated the extent of, and opinions about, sustainable management approaches; and semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with eight heritage managers, which probed key issues in much greater depth. The results of the research demonstrated some similarities with the adoption of sustainable practices in other sectors, such as the practical issues associated with costs and lack of knowledge. There were also some heritage-specific issues, such as perceived conflicts with protection duties, the consequences of being largely dependent upon volunteer staffing, and the institutional role of larger parent organisations, which have been overlooked in previous research. Most significantly, the results indicated that very few heritage sites produced sufficient surpluses to facilitate investment in sustainable practices that might ultimately enhance their financial viability and fund enhanced conservation activities. Future strategies for the sector as whole must therefore not only deal with capacity-building, such as access to information and training on sector-specific sustainable management, but also address the institutional factors governing heritage in the UK, such as strategic leadership, the most effective models for governance and funding mechanisms for sustainability, and the creation of local and regional heritage networks.

description: To explain how fracture roughness affects seismic source and transport response of deformed fractured rock, we developed a microscale fluid flow-geomechanics-seismicity model. The modeling method considers comprehensive grains and cement interactions. Fluid flow behavior is obtained through realistic network models of the pore space in the compacted assembly. In addition, forces and displacements in the grains involved in the bond breakage are measured to determine seismic moment tensor. The results of our work show that in addition to stress conditions in the target formation, geological properties of preexisting fractures affect volumetric deformation of the seismic source as well. The results of the model proves that roughness of fractures, applied in a Berea sample, causes deviation of source mechanism of acoustic emission events toward opening tensile part and enhances the permeability of the sample significantly during its failure even under confining pressure. Key points: Hydro-mechanical-seismic model is applied to study fracture deformation Volumetric deformation of fracture is affected by its geological properties Fracture roughness affect its transport and seismic source responses.

description: Cooling a quantum system to its ground state is important for the characterization of non-trivial interacting systems, and in the context of a variety of quantum information platforms. In principle, this can be achieved by employing measurement-based passive steering protocols, where the steering steps are predetermined and are not based on measurement readouts. However, measurements, i.e., coupling the system to auxiliary quantum degrees of freedom, is rather costly, and protocols in which the number of measurements scales with system size will have limited practical applicability. Here, we identify conditions under which measurement-based cooling protocols can be taken to the dilute limit. For two examples of frustration-free one-dimensional spin chains, we show that steering on a single link is sufficient to cool these systems into their unique ground states. We corroborate our analytical arguments with finite-size numerical simulations and discuss further applications.

description: Experimental duopolies are analyzed to answer two questions: Are asymmetric duopolies less likely to collude than symmetric duopolies? Is the time it takes to reach an equilibrium affected by asymmetry? In a repeated game where output is the choice, we have data 19 (respectively, 21) subject pairs where both agents are low-cost (respectively, high-cost) and 25 subject pairs where one agent in high-cost and one is low-cost. Subjects make choices for at least 35 periods. Results indicate that asymmetric markets are less cooperative and take longer to reach equilibrium than symmetric markets.

description: The electromagnetic trapping of ion chains can be regarded as a process of non-trivial entangled quantum state preparation within Hilbert spaces of the local axial motional modes. To begin uncovering properties of this entanglement resource produced as a byproduct of conventional ion-trap quantum information processing, the quantum continuous-variable formalism is herein utilized to focus on the leading-order entangled ground state of local motional modes in the presence of a quadratic trapping potential. The decay of entanglement between disjoint subsets of local modes is found to exhibit features of entanglement structure and responses to partial measurement reminiscent of the free massless scalar field vacuum. With significant fidelities between the two, even for large system sizes, a framework is established for initializing quantum field simulations via "imaging" extended entangled states from natural sources, rather than building correlations through deep circuits of few-body entangling operators. By calculating probabilities in discrete Fock subspaces of the local motional modes, considerations are presented for locally transferring these pre-distributed entanglement resources to the qudits of ion internal energy levels, improving this procedure's anticipated experimental viability.
