description: Analytical solutions of the Bohr Hamiltonian are obtained in the $γ$-unstable case, as well as in an exactly separable rotational case with $γ\approx 0$, called the exactly separable Morse (ES-M) solution. Closed expressions for the energy eigenvalues are obtained through the Asymptotic Iteration Method (AIM), the effectiveness of which is demonstrated by solving the relevant Bohr equations for the Davidson and Kratzer potentials. All medium mass and heavy nuclei with known $β_1$ and $γ_1$ bandheads have been fitted by using the two-parameter $γ$-unstable solution for transitional nuclei and the three-parameter ES-M for rotational ones. It is shown that bandheads and energy spacings within the bands are well reproduced for more than 50 nuclei in each case.

description: We evaluate the large momentum transfer $J/ψ$ photoproduction with rapidity gaps in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC which provides an effective method of probing dynamics of large t elastic hard QCD Pomeron interactions. It is shown that the experimental studies of this process would allow to investigate the energy dependence of cross section of elastic scattering of a small $c\bar c$ dipole off the gluon over a wide range of invariant energies 10^3 < s_{c\bar c - gluon} < 10^6 GeV^2. The accessible energy range exceeds the one reached in γp at HERA by a factor of 10 and allows the kinematic cuts which improve greatly sensitivity to the Pomeron dynamics as compared to the HERA measurements. The cross section is expected to change by a factor \ge 20 throughout this interval and our estimates predict quite reasonable counting rates for this process with the several of the LHC detectors.

Abstract:

Folding patterns are very characteristic of different species. Most quantication methods focus, however, on the estimation of the degree of folding – the description of their pattern remaining mostly qualitative. We describe a method to generate folding graphs which summarise the folding pattern of an individual brain. We illustrate the application of our method by computing folding graphs for several different mammalian species.

description: We investigate kinetically constrained models of glassy transitions, and determine which model characteristics are crucial in allowing a rigorous proof that such models have discontinuous transitions with faster than power law diverging length and time scales. The models we investigate have constraints similar to that of the knights model, introduced by Toninelli, Biroli, and Fisher (TBF), but differing neighbor relations. We find that such knights-like models, otherwise known as models of jamming percolation, need a ``No Parallel Crossing'' rule for the TBF proof of a glassy transition to be valid. Furthermore, most knight-like models fail a ``No Perpendicular Crossing'' requirement, and thus need modification to be made rigorous. We also show how the ``No Parallel Crossing'' requirement can be used to evaluate the provable glassiness of other correlated percolation models, by looking at models with more stable directions than the knights model. Finally, we show that the TBF proof does not generalize in any straightforward fashion for three-dimensional versions of the knights-like models.

Theory of Direct Scattering, Trapping and Desorption in Atom-Surface Collisions

description: When gas atoms or molecules collide with clean and ordered surfaces, under many circumstances the energy-resolved scattering spectra exhibit two clearly distinct features due to direct scattering and to trapping in the physisorption well with subsequent desorption. James Clerk Maxwell is credited with being the first to describe this situation by invoking the simple assumption that when an impinging gas beam is scattered from a surface it can be divided into a part that exchanges no energy and specularly reflects and another part that equilibrates or accommodates completely and then desorbs with an equilibrium distribution. In this paper a scattering theory is developed, using an iterative algorithm and classical mechanics for the collision process, that describes both direct scattering and trapping-desorption of the incident beam. The initially trapped fraction of particles can be followed as they continue to make further interactions with the surface until they are all eventually promoted back into the positive energy continuum and leave the surface region. Consequently, this theory allows a rigorous test of the Maxwell assumption and determines the conditions under which it is valid. The theory also gives quantitative explanations of recent experimental measurements which exhibit both a direct scattering contribution and a trapping-desorption fraction in the energy-resolved spectra.

Interplay between Wnt signalling and SOX6 in the development of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) midbrain dopaminergic neurons

Publisher: name: University of Leicester

description: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), degeneration of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons causes motor impairments in patients suffering from this illness. Yet, the reasons behind the selective degeneration of neuronal subpopulations and the specific mechanisms triggering PD are still unknown. However, research in mice identified Sox6 as a possible intrinsic determinant of SNc mDA neurons and their vulnerability. This thesis aims to disclose whether Sox6 plays a role in the selective vulnerability of SNc mDA neurons and to study its implication in the development of mDA neurons. To achieve this objective, this thesis established two hESC platforms generating subpopulations of SNc-like Sox6+ and VTA-like Otx2+ mDA neurons that are vulnerable and resistant to parkinsonism toxins, respectively. One platform generates Sox6+mDA neurons by inhibiting Wnt signalling and was used to investigate the interplay between Sox6 and Wnt singalling. The other platform gives rise to this vulnerable subpopulation by overexpressing Sox6 and was used to determine potential Sox6 downstream targets. In addition, this thesis also characterised a new Sox6GFPCreERT mouse line which was used for Sox6 lineage tracing to better understand the role of this transcription factor in the development of mDA neurons in vivo. Thus, my work was able to determine cell culturing conditions that favoured the generation of hESC-derived SNc-like mDA neurons, demonstrated that low Wnt signalling levels promoted a SNc mDA neuronal fate and identified a possible mechanism by which Sox6 could make SNc mDA neurons vulnerable.

description: This work studies the role of inter-user device-to-device (D2D) cooperation for improving physical-layer secret communication in multi-user downlink systems. It is assumed that there are out-of-band D2D channels, on each of which a selected legitimate user transmits an amplified version of the received downlink signal to other legitimate users. A key technical challenge for designing such systems is that eavesdroppers can overhear downlink as well as D2D cooperation signals. We tackle the problem of jointly optimizing the downlink precoding, artificial noise covariance, and amplification coefficients that maximize the minimum rate. An iterative alternating optimization algorithm is proposed based on the matrix fractional programming. Numerical results confirm the performance gains of the proposed D2D cooperation scheme compared to benchmark secret communication schemes.

description: We study the multifractal analysis (MFA) of electronic wavefunctions at the localisation-delocalisation transition in the 3D Anderson model for very large system sizes up to $240^3$. The singularity spectrum $f(α)$ is numerically obtained using the \textsl{ensemble average} of the scaling law for the generalized inverse participation ratios $P_q$, employing box-size and system-size scaling. The validity of a recently reported symmetry law [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 046803 (2006)] for the multifractal spectrum is carefully analysed at the metal-insulator transition (MIT). The results are compared to those obtained using different approaches, in particular the typical average of the scaling law. System-size scaling with ensemble average appears as the most adequate method to carry out the numerical MFA. Some conjectures about the true shape of $f(α)$ in the thermodynamic limit are also made.

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Starting from the eleven dimensional E_{11} non-linear realisation of M-theory we compute all possible forms, that is objects with totally antisymmetrised indices, that occur in four dimensions and above as well as all the 1-forms and 2-forms in three dimensions. In any dimension D, the D-1-forms lead to maximal supergravity theories with cosmological constants and they are in precise agreement with the patterns of gauging found in any dimension using supersymmetry. The D-forms correspond to the presence of space-filling branes which are crucial for the consistency of orientifold models and have not been derived from an alternative approach, with the exception of the 10-dimensional case. It follows that the gaugings of supergravities and the spacetime-filling branes possess an eleven dimensional origin within the E_{11} formulation of M-theory. This and previous results very strongly suggest that all the fields in the adjoint representation of E_{11} have a physical interpretation.

description: Controlled microscale transport is at the core of many scientific and technological advancements, including medical diagnostics, separation of biomolecules, etc., and often involves complex fluids. One of the challenges in this regard is to actuate flows at small scales in an energy efficient manner, given the strong viscous forces opposing fluid motion. We try to address this issue here by probing a combined time-periodic pressure and electrokinetically driven flow of a viscoelastic fluid obeying the simplified linear Phan–Thien–Tanner model, using numerical as well as asymptotic tools, in view of the fact that oscillatory fields are less energy intensive. We establish that the interplay between oscillatory electrical and mechanical forces can lead to complex temporal mass flow rate variations with short-term bursts and peaks in the flow rate. We further demonstrate that an oscillatory pressure gradient or an electric field, in tandem with another steady actuating force can indeed change the net throughput significantly—a paradigm that is not realized in Newtonian or other simpler polymeric liquids. Our results reveal that the extent of augmentation in the flow rate strongly depends on the frequency of the imposed actuating forces along with their waveforms. We also evaluate the streaming potential resulting from an oscillatory pressure-driven flow and illustrate that akin to the volume throughput, the streaming potential also shows complex temporal variations, while its time average gets augmented in the presence of a time-periodic pressure gradient in a nonlinear viscoelastic medium.
CESSDA's approach to bulk DDI study-level metadata validation and feedback
Creators: name: Shepherdson, John
name: Morris, Matthew
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The CESSDA Data Catalogue (CDC) provides researchers with a single point of reference for the data holdings of CESSDA's Service Providers. It harvests study-level metadata in DDI XML format from numerous OAI-PMH endpoints. A high degree of metadata standardisation is required, in order to support sophisticated search and browsing techniques and provide researchers with relevant results. The CESSDA Metadata Validator (CMV) has been developed to allow both data publishers and consumers to check metadata quality against published standards. DDI Profiles (formal, machine-actionable documents that specify additional constraints on the content of a DDI XML document, over and above those specified by the document's associated XSD schema) are used to define the standards that must be met by study-level metadata. The constraints are assigned to validation gates that build on one another and thus allow different levels of compliance to be specified and validated. CMV has been incorporated into CDC and is used to check harvested records for compliance with specific DDI profile/quality gate combinations. Non-compliant records may be automatically excluded from the catalogue, or just flagged as such. A dashboard is available so publishers can view and locate any constraint violations flagged against their metadata records.
Nonlocal transport phenomena in Weyl metals beyond the mesoscopic scale

description: Axion electrodynamics governs electromagnetic properties of Weyl metals. Although transmission and reflection measurements of light have been proposed to confirm the axion electrodynamics, there are still lack of theoretical proposals for macroscopic nonlocal transport phenomena in Weyl metals. In this paper, we present nonlocal transport phenomena in time reversal symmetry-broken (TRSB) Weyl metals. Solving the axion electrodynamics numerically, we show that such nonlocal transport phenomena arise from the negative longitudinal magneto-resistivity (NLMR), combined with the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in the axion electrodynamics. Since this nonlocal transport occurs beyond the mesoscopic scale, we conclude that these nonlocal properties have nothing to do with Fermi arcs, regarded to be clear evidence of the axion electrodynamics in the bulk.
An investigation of the influence of cross-cultural training on counsellor perception of minority client problems
Creators: name: Margolis, Rhonda L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study explored the influence of cross-cultural training on counsellor attention to cultural factors in a client's presenting problem. The following questions were examined: Is there a difference between students who have taken cross-cultural training (trained group) and those who have not (untrained group) in attention to cultural factors in a client's presenting problem? Further, is there a difference between the two groups in the perceived significance of client information in defining the client's problem? Attention to cultural factors was measured by asking participants to write a brief description of the client's problem after viewing a videotape of a simulated initial counselling session. The problem definition was later coded for level of cultural awareness. An assessment of the differences between trained and untrained students in terms of significance of client information was achieved by conducting an analysis of participants' Q-sorts of client statements from most to least meaningful in defining the client's problem. In addition, the Wayne Ethnic Awareness Scale was administered in order to assess the level of ethnic awareness of all participants. No significant differences in level of cultural awareness were shown, on either the problem definition or the Wayne Ethnic Awareness Scale, between counselling students who had taken a cross-cultural training course and those who had not. The research established a positive relationship between the problem definition and the Wayne Ethnic Awareness measure. The Q-analysis of sorting patterns appeared to indicate that differences in perception of meaningful information may have existed as a consequence of differences in level of cultural awareness. Although this study did not provide conclusive evidence regarding the impact of cross-cultural training, it did point to an important area for further attention by educators. The results indicated that fifty percent of all the students in the study were assessed as being low in cultural awareness. The consequences of low cultural awareness could range from a client not returning for therapy after initial sessions because he or she does not feel that the counsellor understands him or her, to a misinterpretation or misdiagnosis of client behaviour resulting in an inappropriate counsellor intervention. Such misunderstanding could potentially be detrimental, not only to the counselling relationship, but to the client's well-being. There is a need for further research to determine the impact of cross-cultural training programs on counsellor perceptions and interventions in cross-cultural interactions. It would also be valuable to investigate further the applicability of Q-methodology in cross-cultural research and training.

description: We initiate a systematic study of boundary conditions in conformal field theories with target space supersymmetry. The WZNW model on GL(1|1) is used as a prototypical example for which we find the complete set of maximally symmetric branes. This includes a unique brane of maximal super-dimension 2|2, a 2-parameter family of branes with super-dimension 0|2 and an infinite set of fully localized branes possessing a single modulus. Members of the latter family can only exist along certain lines on the bosonic base, much like fractional branes at orbifold singularities. Our results establish that all essential algebraic features of Cardy-type boundary theories carry over to the non-rational logarithmic WZNW model on GL(1|1).

description: We report on transcritical bifurcations of periodic orbits in non-integrable two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. We discuss their existence criteria and some of their properties using a recent mathematical description of transcritical bifurcations in families of symplectic maps. We then present numerical examples of transcritical bifurcations in a class of generalized Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonians and illustrate their stabilities and unfoldings under various perturbations of the Hamiltonians. We demonstrate that for Hamiltonians containing straight-line librating orbits, the transcritical bifurcation of these orbits is the typical case which occurs also in the absence of any discrete symmetries, while their isochronous pitchfork bifurcation is an exception. We determine the normal forms of both types of bifurcations and derive the uniform approximation required to include transcritically bifurcating orbits in the semiclassical trace formula for the density of states of the quantum Hamiltonian. We compute the coarse-grained density of states in a specific example both semiclassically and quantum mechanically and find excellent agreement of the results.

description: The possibility that disorder may stabilize a superfluid phase of para-hydrogen in two dimensions is investigated theoretically by means of Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We model disorder using a random distribution of scatterers, and study the thermodynamic behavior of the system as a function of the scatterer density. Disorder gives rise to equilibrium glassy phases with no superfluid properties. Indeed, the propensity for quantum exchanges of hydrogen molecules is reduced even with respect to what is observed if the scatterers are arranged as a regular crystal, a physical setting that also yields no superfluidity.

description: The current paper is dedicated to developing a (3+1) decomposition for the minimal gravitational Standard-Model Extension. Our setting is explicit diffeomorphism violation and we focus on the background fields known in the literature as $u$ and $s^{μν}$. The Hamiltonian formalism is developed for these contributions, which amounts to deriving modified Hamiltonian and momentum constraints. We then study the connection between these modified constraints and the modified Einstein equations. Implications are drawn on the form of the background fields to guarantee the internal consistency of the corresponding modified-gravity theories. In the course of our analysis, we obtain a set of consistency requirements for $u$ and certain sectors of $s^{μν}$. We argue that the constraint structure remains untouched when these conditions are satisfied. Our results shed light on explicit violations of diffeomorphism invariance and local Lorentz invariance in gravity. They may turn out to be valuable for developing a better understanding of effective modified-gravity theories.

description: This paper describes the simulation framework of the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) experiment. EEE is a network of cosmic muon trackers, each made of three Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC), able to precisely measure the absolute muon crossing time and the muon integrated angular flux at the ground level. The response of a single MRPC and the combination of three chambers have been implemented in a GEANT4-based framework (GEMC) to study the telescope response. The detector geometry, as well as details about the surrounding materials and the location of the telescopes have been included in the simulations in order to realistically reproduce the experimental set-up of each telescope. A model based on the latest parametrization of the cosmic muon flux has been used to generate single muon events. After validating the framework by comparing simulations to selected EEE telescope data, it has been used to determine detector parameters not accessible by analysing experimental data only, such as detection efficiency, angular and spatial resolution.

War, the War Power, and the War Powers Resolution of 1973: A Study in American Political Development
Creators: name: Caudill Jr., David R.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This doctoral thesis uses the methodology and methods of American Political Development (APD) to answer the following research question: Why did the War Powers Resolution of 1973 (WPR) fail to realize its goal of reasserting congressional control over the war power?The thesis reviews the prevalent scholarly approaches to the war powers and the WPR and finds them inadequate. It takes the innovative approach of treating the subjects as developmental questions and adopts the definition of political development offered by Orren and Skowronek as “a durable shift in governing authority”. It first operationalizes that definition by analysing the constitutional foundations of the war power and its subsequent development through World War II. That period produced a shift in governing authority over the war power across the spectrum of conflict, in declared and undeclared wars, punitive expeditions and operations to protect Americans overseas, and in the realm of emergency powers short of hostilities.Further operationalizing the Orren and Skowronek definition, the thesis provides a comprehensive legislative history of the WPR and frames it as a challenge to the shift in governing authority, and hence a test of its durability. Introducing declassified presidential documents from the Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton Administrations into war powers scholarship for the first time, the thesis reviews how they responded to the congressional challenge. It answers the overall research question by determining that the WPR failed because Presidents Ford through Clinton, empowered by the expertise of unelected officials on their staffs and fortified by a series of pro-presidential precedents that had accrued over time, developed the WPR through a series of formative acts which rendered the law manageable to the presidency.

description: We correlate the positions of 13,240 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) with 0.1 <= z <= 0.3 from the maxBCG catalog with radio sources from the FIRST survey to study the sizes and distributions of radio AGN in galaxy clusters. We find that 19.7% of our BCGs are associated with FIRST sources, and this fraction depends on the stellar mass of the BCG, and to a lesser extent on the richness of the parent cluster (in the sense of increasing radio loudness with increasing mass). The intrinsic size of the radio emission associated with the BCGs peaks at 55 kpc, with a tail extending to 200 kpc. The radio power of the extended sources places them on the divide between FR I and FR II type sources, while sources compact in the radio tend to be somewhat less radio-luminous. We also detect an excess of radio sources associated with the cluster, instead of with the BCG itself, extending out to ~1.4 Mpc.

description: We report an approach to synthesize high quality graphene by surface segregation and substrate transfer. Graphene was segregated from Ni surface under the ambient pressure by dissolving carbon in Ni at high temperatures followed by cooling down with various rates. Different cooling rates led to different segregation behaviors, strongly affecting the thickness and quality of the graphene films. Electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy indicated that the graphene films synthesized with medium cooling rates have high quality crystalline structure and well-controlled thicknesses. The graphene films were transferred to insulating substrates by wet etching and found to maintain their high quality.

description: Science education and scientific careers represent two crucial themes of applied Social Psychology. In the European context this concern has promoted researches deepening innovative psycho-social methods for Science, Technologies, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines teaching, as well as the scientific careers attractive for European Community's young people. The present work aims to present the main framework project's lines of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation Program entitled “Exploiting Ubiquitous Computing, Mobile Computing and the Internet ofThings to promote Science Education" (*) (UMI-Sci-Ed) stressing the study perspective on "Ubiquitous Learning, Mobile Learning, Internet of Things” (UMI). Academic organizations (University of Pisa,University of Helsinki, Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and Technological Institutions (CTI, CIT, CUBIT) planned developing extensive capability and efforts in experimental educational practices in which students from higher technical institutes (ITIS) have been involved through active learning in advanced technologies. In a social-constructionism perspective, highlighting the construct of the Community of Practices (Wenger, 1998), the innovative psycho-social and pedagogical approach endorsed through the Umi-Sci-Ed project has been investigated through a "piloting phase" involving students and their teachers (Dzcomputers and telecommunicationsdz and Dzelectronics and roboticsdz curricula). Main results will be presented and discussed sketching-out new perspective on STEM learning processes and education.

description: Dose painting of hypoxic tumour sub-volumes using positron-emission tomography (PET) has been shown to improve tumour control in silico in several sites. Pancreatic cancer presents a more stringent challenge, given its proximity to critical organs-at-risk (OARs) and anatomic motion. A radiobiological model was developed to estimate clonogen survival fraction (SF), using 18F-fluoroazomycin arabinoside PET (FAZA PET) images from ten patients with pancreatic cancer to quantify oxygen enhancement effects. For each patient, four simulated five-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plans were generated: 1) a standard SBRT plan aiming to cover the planning target volume with 40 Gy, 2) dose painting plans delivering escalated doses to FAZA-avid hypoxic sub-volumes, 3) dose painting plans with simulated spacer separating the duodenum and pancreatic head, and 4), plans with integrated boosts to geometric contractions of the tumour (GTV). All plans saturated at least one OAR dose limit. SF was calculated for each plan and sensitivity of SF to simulated hypoxia quantification errors was evaluated. Dose painting resulted in a 55% reduction in SF as compared to standard SBRT; 78% with spacer. Integrated boosts to hypoxia-blind geometric contractions resulted in a 41% reduction in SF. The reduction in SF for dose-painting plans persisted for all hypoxia quantification parameters studied, including registration and rigid motion errors that resulted in shifts and rotations of the GTV and hypoxic sub-volumes by as much as 1 cm and 10 degrees. Although proximity to OARs ultimately limited dose escalation, with estimated SFs (~10^-5) well above levels required to completely ablate a ~10 cm^3 tumour, dose painting robustly reduced clonogen survival when accounting for expected treatment and imaging uncertainties and thus, may improve local response and associated morbidity.

description: We derive a formula which expresses a second order cumulant whose entries are products as a sum of cumulants where the entries are single factors. This extends to the second order case the formula of Krawczyk and Speicher. We apply our result to the problem of calculating the second order cumulants of a semi-circular and Haar unitary operator.

description: A comprehensive study is made for the magnetic moments of octet baryons in the method of QCD sum rules. A complete set of QCD sum rules is derived using the external field method and generalized interpolating fields. For each member, three sum rules are constructed from three independent tensor structures. They are analyzed in conjunction with the corresponding mass sum rules. The performance of each of the sum rules is examined using the criteria of OPE convergence and ground-state dominance, along with the role of the transitions in intermediate states. Individual contributions from the u, d and s quarks are isolated and their implications in the underlying dynamics are explored. Valid sum rules are identified and their predictions are obtained. The results are compared with experiment and previous calculations.
