title: ‘Just Look Busy’: Experiences of criminal justice supervision at a women's centre in the north of England
Creators: name: Collins, Angela Browne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: This is a broadly ethnographic, qualitative, mixed methods study of women’s experiences of community punishment at a women’s centre in the North of England. Drawing on participant observation, semi-structured and unstructured interviews, it uses the concepts of gendered governance, risk and, responsibilisation to understand the practice and experience of gender responsive criminal justice.


Using the theoretical framework of gendered governance, this PhD makes key contributions to feminist criminological debates as it explores gendering processes in governing structures, inherent within the gender responsive model of supervising women serving a community sentence. It furthermore makes key contributions to criminological debates surrounding community punishment, as it challenges the commonly held assumption that community rehabilitation is a ‘softer’, or less painful form of punishment. This study highlights the specific gendered challenges for women serving a community sentence, while supporting themselves and fulfilling their responsibilities to their dependants, employers and members of their wider family and social networks. In terms of its policy relevance, this study was completed during the post-Corston period which shaped the development of community justice for women in England and Wales and resulted in the expansion of women’s centres. The study also took place after the implementation of the Transforming Rehabilitation programme and was conducted when the impact austerity was being felt. The policy impacts of these programmes are discussed and assessed throughout, as are their impacts on gendered governing structures.


Data was analysed thematically within a framework that drew on the conceptual connections made by The Corston Report (2007). This explanatory approach helped frame women’s past histories of criminalisation and victimisation within the context of their personal, domestic, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. This study includes reflections on the practices of criminal justice and supervision at the women’s centre and found that Transforming Rehabilitation changed how the women’s centre was able to meet the needs and vulnerabilities of criminalised women. It found that gender responsive justice policies resulted in responsibilisation and were typically neoliberal projects of criminal justice reform. As resource and staff capacity reduced the priority was given to risk-based approaches in the supervision of criminalised women. As a result, this study concludes that the gender responsive community justice model in operation at time of this study was not capable of responding meaningfully to the needs of criminalised women in the community.

Feature extraction using wavelet analysis with application to machine fault diagnosis
Creators: name: Tafreshi, Reza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Two different approaches have been used to diagnose faults in machinery such as internal combustion engines. In the first approach, a mathematical model of the specific engine or component under investigation is developed and a search for causes of change in engine performance is conducted based on the observations made in the system output. In the second approach, the specific engine or component is considered a black box. Then, by observing some sensory data, such as cylinder pressure, cylinder block vibrations, exhaust gas temperatures, and acoustic emissions, and analyzing them, fault(s) can be traced and detected. In this research the latter approach is employed in which vibration data is used for the detection of malfunctions in reciprocating internal combustion engines. The objective of this thesis is to develop effective data-driven methodologies for fault detection and diagnosis. The main application is the detection and characterization of combustion related faults in reciprocating engines; faults such as knock, improper ignition timing, loose intake and exhaust valves, and improper valve clearances. To perform fault diagnosis in internal combustion engines, cylinder head vibration data are used for characterizing the underlying mechanical and combustion processes. Fault diagnosis includes two main stages: feature extraction and classification. In the feature extraction stage, we have utilized wavelets for the analysis of acceleration data acquired at the cylinder head to capture meaningful features that include necessary information about the state of the engine. Wavelets have shown to provide suitable signal processing means for analysis of transient data and noise reduction. Wavelet packets, as a generalization of wavelets, offer even a more powerful data analysis structure to extract features that are capable of identifying combustion malfunctions. Various concepts of wavelets, wavelet packets, related algorithms and assessment techniques have been reviewed, analyzed and discussed. As a result of this research, a novel methodology for fault diagnosis has been developed. This has been achieved through critically investigating available methodologies employed in fault diagnosis and classification, and by understanding their shortcomings. The developed method not only avoids the demerits of the previous techniques, but also demonstrates superior performance. To compare the performance of the proposed approach with major existing methods, various sets of real-world machine data acquired by mounting accelerometer sensors on the cylinder head, as well as a set of synthetic data, have been extensively tested.

description: The Takayama and Judge Allocation models serve as the theoretical foundation for spatial market integration analysis, and despite the large number of papers devoted to the topic, still the knowledge and understanding of the economic phenomena is fragile. By generating artificial economic data under an economic framework, it is expected to contribute to a better understanding of the topic and revise if the current econometric (threshold vector error correction models) techniques are suitable for the analysis or not. Following the static and equilibrium nature of the Takayama and Judge models, it was possible to introduce dynamics and disequilibrium in the model to generate artificial data: prices. Such artificial prices were used to get a first insight on how to address further research.

description: In this paper we develop the spectral theory of the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) using the ideas of Krein's work on continuous analogous of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. We exhibit the functions which are orthogonal with respect to the spectral measure of the fBm and obtain an explicit reproducing kernel in the frequency domain. We use these results to derive an extension of the classical Paley-Wiener expansion of the ordinary Brownian motion to the fractional case.

description: Typically, big changes in the economic system lead to alterations on the disposable income of families and thus on their spending for different type of products, including food. These may imply, in the long run, a structural modification of the quality of diet of the population. After the fall of the socialist system, in the past two decades Central and Eastern European countries, including Hungary, went through a profound, and sometimes difficult transition of their political and economic systems, shifting from a centralized planned economy to an open market economy, and more importantly, the European Union integration. Economic change in lower-income and transitional economies of the world appears to coincide with increasing rapid social change. With respect to nutrition there is evidence that those countries are changing their diets and that these changes seem to be happening at a faster pace than ever before. In this paper we analyze the evolution of Hungarian dietary patterns based on socio-economic status (SES) data between 1993 and 2007. Data allows to define and profile several clusters based on aggregated consumption data, than to inspect the influence of SES variables using OLS and multinominal logit estimations.

description: The study focuses on various types of food safety risks: biological (zoonoses), chemical (chemical treatment of the meat) and technological (use of genetically modified feed). The emphasis was on how the perceived risks affect the purchase intentions in the case of broiler meat. In the case of each risk products the attitude-level variables had importance in explaining the buying intentions. The heterogeneity of the respondents regarding the purchase intentions of risk products was analysed by latent class logistic regression that included all three risk products. About 60% of the respondents belonged to the group of risk avoiders in which the purchase intention of risk food was significantly lower than in the second group of risk neutrals in which 64% of the respondents had the intention to use the broiler despite the possible increase in risk levels. Especially chemical treatment reduced the willingness to purchase. Among the risk avoiders the impact of zoonoses was smaller than the impact of GM-feed. Risk neutrals felt the risk of zoonoses as more significant than GM feed.

description: Household-level Canadian meat purchases from 2002-2008 and the Food Opinion Survey conducted in 2008 were used to explore consumer responses to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) at the national level in Canada. Three measures of beef purchased were used to understand consumers‟ reaction under food risk. A random effects Logit model was applied to test whether any beef was purchased during a given month. Consumption in terms of unit purchases was measured with a random effects Negative Binomial model and consumption in terms of beef expenditure was measured with a standard random effects model. In this study, household heterogeneity in actual meat purchases was partially explained using data from a self-reported food opinions survey. Of special interest was the hypothesis that consumers responded consistently to BSE in a one-time survey and in actual meat purchase behavior spanning years. Regional differences appeared in the study, with consumers in eastern Canada reacting most negatively to BSE. Consumers were less likely to reduce beef purchases during BSE events when they believed food system decision makers were honest, as opposed to knowledgeable, about food safety.

description: Superconductor/normal conductor/superconductor (SNS) Josephson junctions with highly transparent interfaces are predicted to show significant deviations from sinusoidal supercurrent-phase relationships (CPR) at low temperatures. We investigate experimentally the CPR of a ballistic Nb/InAs(2DES)/Nb junction in the temperature range from 1.3 K to 9 K using a modified Rifkin-Deaver method. The CPR is obtained from the inductance of the phase-biased junction. Transport measurements complement the investigation. At low temperatures, substantial deviations of the CPR from conventional tunnel-junction behavior have been observed. A theoretical model yielding good agreement to the data is presented.

description: We study the behavior of vortex matter in artificial flow channels confined by pinned vortices in the channel edges (CE's). The critical current $J_s$ is governed by the interaction with static vortices in the CE's. We study structural changes associated with (in)commensurability between the channel width $w$ and the natural row spacing $b_0$, and their effect on $J_s$. The behavior depends crucially on the presence of disorder in the CE arrays. For ordered CE's, maxima in $J_s$ occur at matching $w=nb_0$ ($n$ integer), while for $w\neq nb_0$ defects along the CE's cause a vanishing $J_s$. For weak CE disorder, the sharp peaks in $J_s$ at $w=nb_0$ become smeared via nucleation and pinning of defects. The corresponding quasi-1D $n$ row configurations can be described by a (disordered)sine-Gordon model. For larger disorder and $w\simeq nb_0$, $J_s$ levels at $\sim 30 %$ of the ideal lattice strength $J_s^0$. Around 'half filling' ($w/b_0 \simeq n\pm 1/2$), disorder causes new features, namely {\it misaligned} defects and coexistence of $n$ and $n \pm 1$ rows in the channel. This causes a {\it maximum} in $J_s$ around mismatch, while $J_s$ smoothly decreases towards matching due to annealing of the misaligned regions. We study the evolution of static and dynamic structures on changing $w/b_0$, the relation between modulations of $J_s$ and transverse fluctuations and dynamic ordering of the arrays. The numerical results at strong disorder show good qualitative agreement with recent mode-locking experiments.

description: We study branching processes in an i.i.d. random environment, where the associated random walk is of the oscillating type. This class of processes generalizes the classical notion of criticality. The main properties of such branching processes are developed under a general assumption, known as Spitzer's condition in fluctuation theory of random walks, and some additional moment condition. We determine the exact asymptotic behavior of the survival probability and prove conditional functional limit theorems for the generation size process and the associated random walk. The results rely on a stimulating interplay between branching process theory and fluctuation theory of random walks.

description: We calculate the leading-twist helicity-dependent generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the proton at finite skewness in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). From these (and previously calculated helicity-independent GPDs) we obtain the spin decomposition of the proton, including predictions for quark intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum. The inclusion of multiple species of diquarks is found to have a significant effect on the flavor decomposition, and resolving the internal structure of these dynamical diquark correlations proves essential for the mechanical stability of the proton. At a scale of $Q^2=4\,$GeV$^2$ we find that the up and down quarks carry an intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum of $S_u=0.534$, $S_d=-0.214$, $L_u=-0.189$, and $L_d=0.210$, whereas the gluons have a total angular momentum of $J_g=0.151$. The down quark is therefore found to carry almost no total angular momentum due to cancellations between spin and orbital contributions. Comparisons are made between these spin decomposition results and lattice QCD calculations.

description: Suppose a solid has a crack filled with a gas. If the crack reaches the surrounding medium, how long does it take the gas to diffuse out of the crack? Iterated Brownian motion serves as a model for diffusion in a crack. If τis the first exit time of iterated Brownian motion from the solid, then P(τ>t) can be viewed as a measurement of the amount of contaminant left in the crack at time t. We determine the large time asymptotics of P(τ>t) for both bounded and unbounded sets. We also discuss a strange connection between iterated Brownian motion and the parabolic operator {1/8}Δ^2-\frac{\partial}{\partial t}.

We show that in the case of finite-dimensional input and output spaces, both are equivalent and preserved under duality transformations. In the general case, neither of these properties is satisfied, but BIBO and LILO stability remain dual to each other.

This opens a possibility to use experimentally measurable delay times as a sensitive probe of eigenfunction fluctuations. For the particular case of quasi-one dimensional geometry of the sample we use an alternative technique to derive the probability density of partial delay times for any number of open channels.

description: Image set recognition has been widely applied in many practical problems like real-time video retrieval and image caption tasks. Due to its superior performance, it has grown into a significant topic in recent years. However, images with complicated variations, e.g., postures and human ages, are difficult to address, as these variations are continuous and gradual with respect to image appearance. Consequently, the crucial point of image set recognition is to mine the intrinsic connection or structural information from the image batches with variations. In this work, a Discriminant Residual Analysis (DRA) method is proposed to improve the classification performance by discovering discriminant features in related and unrelated groups. Specifically, DRA attempts to obtain a powerful projection which casts the residual representations into a discriminant subspace. Such a projection subspace is expected to magnify the useful information of the input space as much as possible, then the relation between the training set and the test set described by the given metric or distance will be more precise in the discriminant subspace. We also propose a nonfeasance strategy by defining another approach to construct the unrelated groups, which help to reduce furthermore the cost of sampling errors. Two regularization approaches are used to deal with the probable small sample size problem. Extensive experiments are conducted on benchmark databases, and the results show superiority and efficiency of the new methods.

description: The BCS-to-BEC crossover, as well as the nature of Cooper pairs, in a superconducting and Fermi superfluid medium is studied from the exact ground state wavefunction of the reduced BCS Hamiltonian. As the strength of the interaction increases, the ground state continuously evolves from a mixed-system of quasifree fermions and pair resonances (BCS), to pair resonances and quasibound molecules (pseudogap), and finally to a system of quasibound molecules (BEC). A single unified scenario arises where the Cooper-pair wavefunction has a unique functional form. Several exact analytic expressions, such as the binding energy and condensate fraction, are derived. We compare our results with recent experiments in ultracold atomic Fermi gases.

On the other hand, the Ekpyrosis-bouncing cosmology with a strongly blue-tilted GW spectrum, i.e., $n_T \simeq 2$, offers a potential explanation for the observed SGWB signal. In this paper, we construct a concrete Ekpyrosis-bouncing model, and show its capacity to intepret the PTA result without pathologies. Both tensor and scalar perturbations are analysed with constraints from the current observations.

description: We report the detection of small scale bending waves, also known as corrugations, in the dust lanes of five nearby edge-on disc galaxies. This phenomenon, where the disc mid-plane bends to become wavy, just as in warps but on a smaller scale, is seen here for the first time, in the dust lanes running across the discs. Because they are seen in absorption, this feature must be present in the dust disc in the outskirts of these galaxies. We enhance the visibility of these features using unsharp masking, trace the dust mid-plane across the disc, measure the corrugation amplitude by eye and the corrugation wavelength using Fourier analysis. The corrugation amplitude is found to be in the range of 70 - 200 pc and the wavelengths lie between 1 - 5 kpc. In this limited sample, we find that the amplitude of the corrugations tends to be larger for lower mass galaxies, whereas the wavelength of corrugation does not seem to depend on the mass of host galaxies. Linear stability analysis is performed to find out the dynamical state of these dust discs. Based on WKB analysis, we find that the dust corrugations in about half of our sample are stable. Further analysis, on a larger sample would be useful to strengthen the above results.

description: We show that the imaginary part of the embedding potential, a generalised logarithmic derivative, defined over the interface between an electrical lead and some conductor, has orthogonal eigenfunctions which define conduction channels into and out of the lead. In the case of an infinitely extended interface we establish the relationship between these eigenfunctions and the Bloch states evaluated over the interface. Using the new channel functions, a well-known result for the total transmission through the conductor system is simply derived.

description: Construction workers exert intense physical effort and experience serious safety and health risks in hazardous working environments. Quiet stance and kneeling are among the most common postures performed by construction workers during their daily work. This paper analyzes lower-limb joint influence on neural balance control strategies using the frequency behavior of the intersection point of ground reaction forces. To evaluate the impact of elevation and wearable knee exoskeletons on postural balance and welding task performance, we design and integrate virtual- and mixed-reality (VR/MR) to simulate elevated environments and welding tasks. A linear quadratic regulator-controlled triple- and double-link inverted pendulum model is used for balance strategy quantification in quiet stance and kneeling, respectively. Extensive multi-subject experiments are conducted to evaluate the usability of occupational exoskeletons in destabilizing construction environments. The quantified balance strategies capture the significance of knee joint during balance control of quiet stance and kneeling gaits. Results show that center of pressure sway area reduced up to 62% in quiet stance and 39% in kneeling for subjects tested in high-elevation VR/MR worksites when provided knee exoskeleton assistance. The comprehensive balance and multitask evaluation methodology developed aims to reveal exoskeleton design considerations to mitigate the fall risk in construction.

description: In this work we present IMRPhenomTP, a time domain phenomenological model for the dominant $l=2$, $m=|2|$ modes of coalescing black hole binary systems and its extension to describe general precessing systems within the "twisting up" approximation. The underlying non-precessing model is calibrated to the new release of Numerical Relativity simulations of the SXS Collaboration and its accuracy is comparable to the state-of-the-art non-precessing dominant mode models as IMRPhenomX and SEOBNRv4. The precessing extension allows for flexibility choosing the Euler angles of the time-dependent rotation between the co-precessing and the inertial reference systems, including the single spin NNLO and the double spin MSA PN descriptions present in other models, numerical integration of the orbit averaged spin evolution equations, different choices for the evolution of the orbital angular momentum norm and a simple approximation to the ringdown behaviour.

Calculations of liquid helium and neon VUV emission spectra, self-absorption and scattering for a neutrino detector

description: To evaluate the feasibility of the recently proposed detection scheme of low energy neutrinos released from the Sun and supernovae called CLEAN, Cryogenic Low Energy Astrophysics with Noble Gases, which relies on the transparency of noble-gas cryogenic liquids to VUV radiation produced by neutrinos, we analyze theoretically VUV emission, self-absorption, and scattering of liquid helium and neon, primary candidates for CLEAN. Owing to strong repulsion of noble-gas atoms in the ground states at the equilibrium distance of the relevant excited state, the emission spectrum is substantially shifted from the absorption spectrum, and in principle the absorption is expected very small, allowing building large detectors. Our analysis, however, shows that the self-absorption and Rayleigh scattering are comparable to the size of the proposed detector. Our theoretical emission spectra are found in agreement with experimental observations although some deviation exists due to binary-interaction approximation, and our ab initio Rayleigh scattering lengths are found in agreement with other calculations based on the extrapolation of experimental refraction indices. The absorption process can result in either re-emission, which conserves the number of photons but delays their escape from the liquid, or in non-radiative quenching.

Non-electrostatic interactions as random fields in charged liquids

description: We derive an equation capable of treating both the electrostatic and non-electrostatic interactions in the charged liquids. The equation derived is a complex version of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, in which the non-electrostatic interactions are transformed to complex random fields by the field theory. Thus, the non-electrostatic interactions of the ions in the charged liquids can be simulated easily by generating random numbers according to the random fields. To solve the equation, the finite element method has been applied. The non-electrostatic interactions treated in the equation are general. In this study, we take the steric effect of ions as an example. Results show that the steric effect can be clearly caught by the equation.

Acetaminophen

description: Poster and write-up presented at the 2019 annual American Association for the Advancement of Science The objective of this study was to understand the effects of acetaminophen on Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan and fertility. The experiment was based off a study that assessed the effect of aspirin on the lifespan of C. elegans. The original study showed that aspirin causes stress in C. elegans similar to caloric restriction, resulting in increased stress resilience and prolonged longevity. Assuming that acetaminophen treatment invokes a similar mechanism, the expectation was to observe prolonged lifespan and decreased egg production, one of the known stress outcomes in C. elegans. Wildtype and daf-9 mutant C. elegans were provided with OP50 Escherichia coli seeded plates containing a diluted concentration of acetaminophen and water at 50, 100, and 200mM, each plate hosting 4 worms of the same type. The plates were assigned to 5 study groups: 3 treatment groups corresponding to each treatment concentration had 3 wildtype C. elegans plates each, 2 plates with untreated wildtype C. elegans were assigned as a control group, and 2 plates with daf-9 treatment group with 100mM acetaminophen concentration. Daf-9 mutants were included as they have been shown to be stress resistant compared to wildtype worms. The observed increased movement speed suggests that acetaminophen solution causes stress in C. elegans worms. Increased egg production in the wildtype C. elegans treatment groups was also observed when compared to the control groups. The highest average egg laying per worm was observed in the lowest concentration of acetaminophen treatment group and declined as the concentration of acetaminophen increased. The results of this study showed that treating C. elegans with acetaminophen increased both their egg laying (at low concentrations) and lifespan (at higher concentrations), similar to the findings of the aspirin study. Conducting the experiment only once and therefore needing to verify reproducibility and statistical significance of the results is the main limitation of the study.

description: The dust-to-stellar mass ratio ($M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$) is a crucial yet poorly constrained quantity to understand the production mechanisms of dust, metals and stars in galaxy evolution. In this work we explore and interpret the nature of $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ in 300 massive ($M_{\star}>10^{10}M_{\odot}$), dusty star-forming galaxies detected with ALMA up to $z\approx5$. We find that $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ evolves with redshift, stellar mass, specific SFR and integrated dust size, differently for main sequence and starburst galaxies. In both galaxy populations $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ rises until $z\sim2$ followed by a roughly flat trend towards higher redshifts. We show that the inverse relation between $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ and $M_{\star}$ holds up to $z\approx5$ and can be interpreted as an evolutionary transition from early to late starburst phases. We demonstrate that $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ in starbursts mirrors the increase in molecular gas fraction with redshift, and is enhanced in objects with the most compact dusty star-formation. The state-of-the-art cosmological simulation SIMBA broadly matches the evolution of $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ in main sequence galaxies, but underestimates it in starbursts. The latter is found to be linked to lower gas-phase metallicities and longer dust growth timescales relative to data. Our data are well reproduced by analytical model that includes recipes for rapid metal enrichment, strongly suggesting that high $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ is due to fast grain growth in metal enriched ISM. Our work highlights multifold benefits of using $M_{\rm dust}$/$M_{\rm \star}$ as a diagnostic tool for: (1) separating main sequence and starburst galaxies until $z\sim5$; (2) probing the evolutionary phases of dusty galaxies, and (3) refining the treatment of dust life cycle in simulations.
