title: A Wearer-Centred Framework to Design for Wearability in Animal Biotelemetry
Creators: name: Paci, Patrizia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: In a technological era, monitoring animals for scientific, husbandry, or caring reasons is often done by using tracking systems attached to the animals’ bodies. Remote data acquisition from animals has enhanced the knowledge about their biology and ecology. However, there is evidence that carrying biotelemetry tags affects the welfare of animal wearers and interferes with the validity of recorded data.

 On welfare and scientific grounds, animal scientists have advocated for the re-design of physical and functional aspects of tags, proposing guidelines aimed at minimising device-induced impacts. However, such guidelines are dispersed and difficult to apply systematically. Hence, there is a need for an approach to systematising the design of animal-borne tags in order to minimise their impact on the wearer.

 This thesis addresses such a challenge. It draws on the concept of wearability and proposes it as a design goal to develop devices that afford a better wearer experience (WX) for animals. The thesis develops a wearer-centred design framework (WCF) and applies it to demonstrate its usefulness to systematically design for good wearability.

 Specifically, after the framework’s elements were derived by analysing relevant information in the biotelemetry and interaction design literature, the framework was administered to teams of workshop participants who implemented it to perform a requirements analysis for a cat-tracking device. Workshop requirements served to produce a feline-centred prototype which was tested with cat wearers to investigate their experience of wearing it and thus evaluate its wearability. Outcomes show improvements of the prototype in relation to off-the-shelf devices which were tested in a parallel study. This study established a baseline for investigating a cat WX and highlighted various wearability issues with the off-the-shelf tags.

 Lastly, this research demonstrates that designers can systematically design for wearability using the WCF therefore supporting the thesis that the reduction of device-related impacts is achievable.
Simultaneous description of the $e^+e^- \to J/ ψ\, ππ\, (K \bar{K})$ processes

description: In this work, we provide a simultaneous and accurate description of the $π^+π^-$ and $π^{\pm} J/ψ$ invariant mass distributions of the recent BESIII data on $e^+ e^- \to J/ψ\; π^+ π^-$ together with the $e^+ e^- \to J/ψ\; K^+K^-$ cross sections at $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energies $q=4.23$ GeV and $q=4.26$ GeV. The rescattering effects between pions in the S and D-waves are taken into account through the Muskhelishvili-Omnès formalism. Since the physical region of the $ππ$ invariant mass extends above 1 GeV, the important $K\bar{K}$ intermediate state in the S-wave is implemented through coupled-channel unitarity. For the left-hand cuts, we account for the well established charged exotic state $Z_c(3900)$ in $t$- and $u$-channels, while the other contributions are absorbed in the subtraction constants. For the $e^+ e^- \to J/ψ\, K \bar{K}$ we provide the prediction of the two-kaon invariant mass distribution. The constructed amplitudes serve as an essential framework to interpret the present and forthcoming measurements by the BESIII and Belle II Collaborations.
title: Looking inside the Black Box: The Role of Host Country Offices in Negotiating International Volunteering for Development
Creators: name: Barzegar, Behafarid
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: This research aims to investigate the significance of the Host Country Offices (HCOs) of International Volunteer Cooperation Organisations (IVCOs) in explaining the gap between the theory and practice of International Volunteering Service (IVS) in development. HCOs are operational arms of IVCOs that work in developing countries, but they are rarely studied in the literature and remain a ‘black box’. Focusing on five HCOs in Malawi, this study seeks to address the gaps in the literature by examining the different relationships between the HCOs and their multiple stakeholders: their head office, the key players involved in mobilising and implementing IVS in development projects (the government, the donors and the partner organisations), and the volunteers. The research uses the idea of ‘boundary managers’ to describe HCOs and their role in managing multiple mandates and negotiate relationships with different stakeholders. The conceptual framework is based on different kinds of trust and power relations to explore how HCOs negotiate these relationships and to demonstrate how other factors such as asymmetries in knowledge and information help explain the gap between the theory and practice of IVS. A cross-case study methodology is used that involves observation, document review and interviews with staff in head offices, HCOs, partners, beneficiaries and volunteers. The study shows that a development-focused IVS strategy, and fair and democratic organisational policies and structures that encourage staff contributions to knowledge, make more efficient use of human, physical and logistical resources, and can create trust-based relationships between the HCOs and their stakeholders leading to better processes, and potentially, to better and more consistent outcomes. The study makes empirical, theoretical, and policy contributions by identifying HCOs as influential actors in IVS, characterising their status as boundary managers, and making policy recommendations for HCOs to manage the relationships between different stakeholders more effectively.

description: The aims of this work are to study Rees algebras of filtrations of monomial ideals associated to covering polyhedra of rational matrices with non-negative entries and non-zero columns using combinatorial optimization and integer programming, and to study powers of monomial ideals and their integral closures using irreducible decompositions and polyhedral geometry. We study the Waldschmidt constant and the ic-resurgence of the filtration associated to a covering polyhedron and show how to compute these constants using linear programming. Then we show a lower bound for the ic-resurgence of the ideal of covers of a graph and prove that the lower bound is attained when the graph is perfect. We also show lower bounds for the ic-resurgence of the edge ideal of a graph and give an algorithm to compute the asymptotic resurgence of squarefree monomial ideals. A classification of when Newton's polyhedron is the irreducible polyhedron is presented using integral closure.

description: The spatio-temporal information among video sequences is significant for video super-resolution (SR). However, the spatio-temporal information cannot be fully used by existing video SR methods since spatial feature extraction and temporal motion compensation are usually performed sequentially. In this paper, we propose a deformable 3D convolution network (D3Dnet) to incorporate spatio-temporal information from both spatial and temporal dimensions for video SR. Specifically, we introduce deformable 3D convolution (D3D) to integrate deformable convolution with 3D convolution, obtaining both superior spatio-temporal modeling capability and motion-aware modeling flexibility. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of D3D in exploiting spatio-temporal information. Comparative results show that our network achieves state-of-the-art SR performance.

description: We overview the ensmallen numerical optimization library, which provides a flexible C++ framework for mathematical optimization of user-supplied objective functions. Many types of objective functions are supported, including general, differentiable, separable, constrained, and categorical. A diverse set of pre-built optimizers is provided, including Quasi-Newton optimizers and many variants of Stochastic Gradient Descent. The underlying framework facilitates the implementation of new optimizers. Optimization of an objective function typically requires supplying only one or two C++ functions. Custom behavior can be easily specified via callback functions. Empirical comparisons show that ensmallen outperforms other frameworks while providing more functionality. The library is available at https://ensmallen.org and is distributed under the permissive BSD license.

description: Feynman's path amplitude formulation of quantum mechanics is used to analyse the production of charged leptons from charged current weak interaction processes. For neutrino induced reactions the interference effects predicted are usually called `neutrino oscillations'. Similar effects in the detection of muons from pion decay are here termed `muon oscillations'. Processes considered include pion decay (at rest and in flight), and muon decay and nuclear $β$-decay at rest. In all cases studied, a neutrino oscillation phase different from the conventionally used one is found. A concise critical review is made of previous treatments of the quantum mechanics of neutrino and muon oscillations.

title: Teacher Educators as Agents of Change? A Critical Realist Study of a Group of Teacher Educators in a Kenyan University
Creators: name: Stutchbury, Kristina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: This study focuses on the professional identity of a group of teacher educators in a Kenyan university. In order to improve student outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa, the quality of teaching and therefore the quality of teacher education (TE) needs to improve. Policy aspirations across the region call for a greater focus on the teaching and learning of skills, attitudes and values, with many making specific reference to learner-centred education (LCE); teachers need to change their practice, which means that teacher educators need to change as well. The study concludes that these pedagogic changes require a public consensus around the nature of knowledge about teaching, alongside conscious efforts to create opportunities for collaboration amongst teacher educators. The context for the study is the Teacher Education in sub Saharan Africa (TESSA) programme of activities, run by The Open University alongside African partners, designed to support improvements in teaching and in teacher education. At the heart of the programme is a bank of Open Educational Resources (OERs). Experience gathered over the last ten years, suggests that achieving pedagogic change in teacher education is challenging; many will mediate the OERs for teachers, but do not see them as being relevant to their own practice. This study set about to determine why this is the case. Working within a critical realist framework, the perceived agency of five teacher educators was investigated, alongside the nature of the social structures in the institution in which they work and the way in which the structures interact to constrain and empower agency, with respect to pedagogic change. Analysis of data from documents, observations and interviews revealed a number of disconnections between theory and practice, and led to the identification for two underlying ‘causal mechanisms’ concerning the nature of knowledge about teaching and the importance of collaborative spaces. TESSA is identified as a causal mechanism that has not been fully activated in this institution. This has highlighted ways in which we can work more effectively with this professional group. The study has also demonstrated that critical realism can provide a robust theoretical framework for small-scale qualitative research.
Stressors and Well-being of Educators

description: The role of well-being has become a topic circulating around the field of education over the last several years. What constitutes well-being and how it is measured is open to discussion by many who are impacted by it. According to the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation’s most recent statistics (2013), 46% of teachers reported stress/mental-disorders and 611 BCTF members accessed health and wellness programs (on either short- or long-term disability). The role that work-related stress plays on a teacher’s day-to-day activities and ability to complete their job effectively is, increasingly, a topic of conversation. As educational leaders, our research group became interested in the topic in part because we noticed and experienced an increasing level of stress among ourselves and our colleagues. While we began to explore the topic through discussions with colleagues and peers as well as reading literature, it was noted that teacher stress and its causes are often topics that are avoided. For this reason, we wanted to learn about 1) the perceived stressors faced by elementary school teachers and how this might impact their effectiveness to perform their job and 2) what supports are available to deal with the stressors and what supports are still needed. In order to attain the information we wanted to seek, our research team did a qualitative study that began with getting a BREB approval and permission to do research in our targeted school district. The research method included sending a letter of invitation to all elementary school teachers in our targeted district. The letter had a link in which all teachers could complete an anonymous questionnaire focusing on issues around well-being in education. Teachers had one week to complete the questionnaire, and our team received 118 completed questionnaires from teachers with various backgrounds (including years of experience, grades taught, and enrolling or non-enrolling positions). A number of key findings arose from our study; some we expected and some that surprised us: 1) Teachers want to be heard and are willing to share their thoughts and views on workplace stressors, which tells us the importance of the topic, 2) Teachers identified many stressors related to their day-to-day jobs, and as prevalent as these stressors were, we need to acknowledge that some of these are aspects of a teachers job that cannot be eliminated and 3) Teachers still believe they are making a positive difference despite the stressors identified. As a research team, this gives us hope

description: Cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) is an emerging material for high power and new generation devices, but the development of high quality 3C-SiC layer still represents a scientific and technological challenge especially when grown on a Si substrate. In the present lecture, we discuss the use of a buffer layer between the epitaxial layer and the substrate in order to reduce the defectiveness and improve the overall quality of the SiC epi-film. In particular, we find that the morphology and the quality of the epi-film depends on the carbonization temperature and the concentration of Ge in close proximity of the Si1-xGex/SiC interface. Ge segregation at the interface influences the film quality, and in particular a [Ge]>12% in close proximity to the interface leads to the formation of poly-crystalls, while close to 10% induces a mirror like morphology. Moreover, by finely tuning the Ge concentration and carbonization temperature, crystal quality higher than that observed for SiC grown on bare silicon is achieved.

The resonances of the susceptibilities depends on the relative values of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit constants, which could be manipulated by gate voltages. We derive exact continuity equations, with source terms, for the spin density and use those to connect the spin current to the spin density. In the free electron model the susceptibilities play a central role in the spin dynamics since both the spin density and the spin current are proportional to them.

description: It is shown that the canonical problem of classical statistical thermodynamics, the computation of the partition function, is in the case of +/-J Ising spin glasses a particular instance of certain simple sums known as quadratically signed weight enumerators (QWGTs). On the other hand it is known that quantum computing is polynomially equivalent to classical probabilistic computing with an oracle for estimating QWGTs. This suggests a connection between the partition function estimation problem for spin glasses and quantum computation. This connection extends to knots and graph theory via the equivalence of the Kauffman polynomial and the partition function for the Potts model.

description: A rework network is a common manufacturing system, in which flows (products) are processed in a sequence of workstations (nodes), which often results in defective products. To improve the productivity and utility of the system, the rework network allows some of the defective products to go back to the "as normal" condition after the rework process. In a recent study, Song proposed an algorithm to correct more than 21 archive publications regarding the rework network reliability problem, which is an important real-life problem. However, we prove that Song's proposed algorithm is still incorrect. Additionally, we provide an accurate general model based on the novel state distribution with a smaller number of limitations. Furthermore, we propose an algorithm to calculate the reliability of the multi-state rework networks using the proposed novel state distributions.

description: Quantum process tomography is a powerful tool for understanding quantum channels and characterizing properties of quantum devices. Inspired by recent advances using classical shadows in quantum state tomography [H.-Y. Huang, R. Kueng, and J. Preskill, Nat. Phys. 16, 1050 (2020).], we have developed ShadowQPT, a classical shadow method for quantum process tomography. We introduce two related formulations with and without ancilla qubits. ShadowQPT stochastically reconstructs the Choi matrix of the device allowing for an a-posteri classical evaluation of the device on arbitrary inputs with respect to arbitrary outputs. Using shadows we then show how to compute overlaps, generate all $k$-weight reduced processes, and perform reconstruction via Hamiltonian learning. These latter two tasks are efficient for large systems as the number of quantum measurements needed scales only logarithmically with the number of qubits. A number of additional approximations and improvements are developed including the use of a pair-factorized Clifford shadow and a series of post-processing techniques which significantly enhance the accuracy for recovering the quantum channel. We have implemented ShadowQPT using both Pauli and Clifford measurements on the IonQ trapped ion quantum computer for quantum processes up to $n=4$ qubits and achieved good performance.

description: During the history there have been different examples of incorporating technology into economics. Some of them include SWIFT, e-banking, mobile payments, and many more. Technology had to be commercialized and put into service of facilitating economic processes. International finances underwent the process of development too. With the globalization process national economies became more interconnected and dependent from each other. Individuals demanded a faster and more convenient way to make international payments. Internet trade is on the rise, social media rule the contemporary world, and then appears the inception of so-called crypto currencies. The most famous is Bitcoin. Where lays its place in the economic science? It looks like that Bitcoin is going towards decentralization of the monetary system known by now. The goal of this paper is to raise the awareness of the changes happening in economy and in economic science.

description: We examine the impact of baryon-dark matter relative velocities on intergalactic small-scale structure and the 21 cm signal during reionization. Streaming velocities reduced clumping in the intergalactic medium (IGM) on mass scales of $\sim 10^4 - 10^8$ M$_{\odot}$. This effect produced a distinct baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the 21 cm power spectrum at wave numbers $k\sim 0.1$ h/Mpc, near which forthcoming surveys will be most sensitive. In contrast to the highly uncertain impact of streaming velocities on star formation, the effect on clumping is better constrained because it is set mainly by cosmology and straightforward gas dynamics. We quantify the latter using coupled radiation-hydrodynamic simulations that capture the Jeans scale of pre-reionization gas. The clumping factor of ionized gas is reduced by 5-10\% in regions with RMS streaming velocities. The suppression peaks $\approx 5$ Myr after a region is reionized, but disappears within 200 Myr due to pressure smoothing. We model the corresponding impact on the 21 cm signal and find that the BAO feature is most likely to appear at $\approx$ 10 \% ionization. During this phase, the feature may appear at the 1 \% (5 \%) level at $k \sim 0.1 (0.06)$ h/Mpc with an amplitude that varies by a factor of $< 10$ across a range of reionization histories. We also provide a model for the signal originating from streaming velocity's impact on ionizing sources, which can vary by 4 orders of magnitude depending on highly uncertain source properties. We find that the clumping signal probably dominates the source one unless Population III star formation in $10^6 - 10^8$ M$_{\odot}$ halos contributed significantly to the first 10\% of reionization.

title: Deciphering Regulatory Networks in the Mouse Genome

description: Regardless of all the major achievements in the field of genomics and in depth studies of the protein-coding genes, our knowledge about non-coding regions and their contribution in diseases remains incomplete. Large scale projects such as the ENCODE have produced a wealth of sequencing data which can be utilised to study epigenetic features associated with gene regulation. These studies have comprehensively identified regulatory elements such as enhancers in the human genome, but numerous questions still remain on their effect on gene function and disease causation. The aim of this thesis is to identify enhancer regulatory networks in the mouse genome and investigate their effect on mouse models of human diseases. In order to study enhancer regulation, I have taken two approaches. First, I have produced a catalogue of well-defined multiple enhancer types in a diverse range of mouse tissues and cell-types. By systematically comparing different enhancer types, I found that super- and typical-enhancers have different effect on gene expression, but both are preferentially associated with relevant tissue-type phenotypes. Also genes associated with super- and typical-enhancers exhibit no difference in phenotype effect size or pleiotropy. Second, by utilising publicly available regulatory annotations, my enhancer catalogue and omics data, I have investigated regulatory mechanisms associated with metabolic and circadian mouse models. Here I identified novel regulatory networks or enhancers or transcription factor binding sites pertaining to the mutant mice. In conclusion, my research has shown the usefulness of integrating enhancer annotations with an array of molecular data and has for the first time shown how different enhancer architectures influence gene function in the mouse genome. This study provides a valuable dataset to further characterise the mechanisms of gene regulation by enhancers in the mouse genome.

description: The equation of state for quark matter is derived for a nonlocal, chiral quark model within the mean field approximation. Special emphasis is on the occurrence of a diquark condensate which signals a phase transition to color superconductivity and its effects on the equation of state. We present a fit formula for the Bag pressure, which is density dependent in case when the quark matter is color superconducting. We calculate the quark star configurations by solving the Tolman- Oppenheimer- Volkoff equations and demonstrate the effects of diquark condensation on the stability of hybrid stars for different formfactors of the quark interaction.

Two jets during the impact of viscous droplets onto a less-viscous liquid pool

description: It is generally accepted that the Worthington jet occurs when a droplet impacts onto a liquid pool. However, in this experimental study of the impact of viscous droplets onto a less-viscous liquid pool, we identify another jet besides the Worthington jet, forming a two-jet phenomenon. The two jets, a surface-climbing jet and the Worthington jet, may appear successively during one impact event. By carefully tuning the impact condition, we find that the two-jet phenomenon is jointly controlled by the droplet-pool viscosity ratio, the droplet Weber number, and the droplet-pool miscibility. The mechanism of the surface-climbing jet is completely different from that of the Worthington jet: the liquid in the pool climbs along the surface of the droplet and forms a liquid layer which converges at the droplet apex and produces the surface-climbing jet. This surface-climbing jet has a very high speed, i.e., an order of magnitude higher than the droplet impact speed. The effects of the impact speed, droplet viscosity, droplet size, and surface tension on the surface-climbing jet are also analysed. This study does not only provide physical insights into the mechanism of droplet and jet dynamics, but also be helpful in the optimisation of the droplet impact process in many relevant applications.
title: Evidences of Transposable Elements Activity in Modular Biological Systems: Gene Clusters and the Brain
Creators: name: Volpe, Massimiliano

description: Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences capable to move from their genomic location to a new one. They have been considered as “junk” for a long time: DNA without any useful role, with the only purpose to survive within the host genome as parasites. Their activity can alter the genomes inducing mutations; however, it is increasingly evident that these elements have played an active role in the evolution by providing genomic sequences that can be used by the host genome to evolve novelties, for example acting as alternative promoters or enhancers.

 TEs were found to be active in the brain of mammals suggesting their involvement in the diversification of neuronal functions. For this reason, the hypothesis of a role of TEs in the evolution and development of cognitive abilities has been proposed. Recently, a TEs expansion has also been observed in the Octopus bimaculoides genome. Similarly to mammals, octopuses present a complex nervous system and are considered extremely intelligent. Previously, a full-length element in the Octopus vulgaris neural transcriptome has been found in my laboratory, suggesting a potential somatic TEs activity in the octopus brain.

 TEs were shown to be also a source of novel genes and exons. For instance, protein domains evolved from TEs have been described, such as a specific zinc finger (ZnF) DNA-binding domain in plants. Genes codifying for ZnF proteins are often found in many metazoan species to be organized in gene clusters, groups of co-localized genes encoding for proteins with similar function and domain composition. The observation that TEs are generally enriched in these regions suggested that TEs have actively contributed to the expansion and evolution of gene clusters.

 In this work, with the aim to deciphering the complex organization of the genome and gain insight into the evolution of cellular complexity and intelligence of living organisms, I provide evidences of somatic TEs activity in the octopus brain and explore the hypothesis that an evolutionary relationship between TEs and gene clusters exists.

description: The digital revolution is a change from analog and electronic technology to digital technology and is currently at its peak. Since we live in the digital era, it is logical that the digital form of money, that is, the cryptocurrency, had to appear. The cryptocurrency as a digital form of money functions with the help of a technique called cryptography. Cryptography is a process that translates legible information into codes that cannot be broken at all. The cryptocurrency is based on the digitized so-called. the main book of all crypto watch transactions called blockchain. Blockchain records individual transactions and ownership of all cryptocurrencies that are in circulation, and this system is managed by the so-called blockchain “miners” who have to update all transactions that have occurred and ensure the accuracy of the information. In this way, the security of the transaction is confirmed. This paper will address the theme of the cryptocurrency and their role in economic growth. Types of Cryptocurrencies will also be shown as well as their expansion in countries in transition. Among other things, we will see the market of the currency in Serbia and Switzerland.

description: This action research study critically investigated the introduction of multimodal pedagogies into an English language intensive course for international students (ELICOS) in an Australian university. The analysis reveals the dominance of traditional linguistic approaches to the teaching of writing, which do not enhance students’ meaning-making potential or their overall writing experience. The study calls for a re-examination of current monomodal practices in ELICOS. In particular, it advocates for the implementation of multimodal pedagogies in writing classes that more appropriately recognise the funds of knowledge international students bring to their writing and better address their linguistic, cultural and social needs.
