description: The self-interaction-corrected local-spin-density approximation is used to describe the electronic structure of dioxides, REO$_2$, and sesquioxides, RE$_2$O$_3$, for the rare earths, RE=Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy and Ho. The valencies of the rare earth ions are determined from total energy minimization. We find Ce, Pr, Tb in their dioxides to have the tetravalent configuration, while for all the sesquioxides the trivalent groundstate configuration is found to be the most favourable. The calculated lattice constants for these valency configurations are in good agreement with experiment. Total energy considerations are exploited to show the link between oxidation and $f$-electron delocalization, and explain why, among the dioxides, only the CeO$_2$, PrO$_2$, and TbO$_2$ exist in nature. Tetravalent NdO$_2$ is predicted to exist as a metastable phase - unstable towards the formation of hexagonal Nd$_2$O$_3$.

description: The volume of academic paper submissions and publications is growing at an ever increasing rate. While this flood of research promises progress in various fields, the sheer volume of output inherently increases the amount of noise. We present a system to automatically separate papers with a high from those with a low likelihood of gaining citations as a means to quickly find high impact, high quality research. Our system uses both a visual classifier, useful for surmising a document's overall appearance, and a text classifier, for making content-informed decisions. Current work in the field focuses on small datasets composed of papers from individual conferences. Attempts to use similar techniques on larger datasets generally only considers excerpts of the documents such as the abstract, potentially throwing away valuable data. We rectify these issues by providing a dataset composed of PDF documents and citation counts spanning a decade of output within two separate academic domains: computer science and medicine. This new dataset allows us to expand on current work in the field by generalizing across time and academic domain. Moreover, we explore inter-domain prediction models - evaluating a classifier's performance on a domain it was not trained on - to shed further insight on this important problem.
An embedding scheme for the Dirac equation
Creators: name: Crampin, S
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An embedding scheme is developed for the Dirac Hamiltonian H. Dividing space into regions I and II separated by surface S, an expression is derived for the expectation value of H which makes explicit reference to a trial function defined in I alone, with all details of region II replaced by an effective potential acting on S and which is related to the Green function of region II. Stationary solutions provide approximations to the eigenstates of H within I. The Green function for the embedded Hamiltonian is equal to the Green function for the entire system in region I. Application of the method is illustrated for the problem of a hydrogen atom in a spherical cavity and an Au(001)/Ag/Au(001) sandwich structure using basis sets that satisfy kinetic balance.

description: We investigate transmon qubits made from semiconductor nanowires with a fully surrounding superconducting shell. In the regime of reentrant superconductivity associated with the destructive Little-Parks effect, numerous coherent transitions are observed in the first reentrant lobe, where the shell carries 2π winding of superconducting phase, and are absent in the zeroth lobe. As junction density was increased by gate voltage, qubit coherence was suppressed then lost in the first lobe. These observations and numerical simulations highlight the role of winding-induced Andreev states in the junction.

description: We consider the problem of constructing robust nonparametric confidence intervals and tests of hypothesis for the median when the data distribution is unknown and the data may contain a small fraction of contamination. We propose a modification of the sign test (and its associated confidence interval) which attains the nominal significance level (probability coverage) for any distribution in the contamination neighborhood of a continuous distribution. We also define some measures of robustness and efficiency under contamination for confidence intervals and tests. These measures are computed for the proposed procedures.

Theoretical and empirical insights into the ecology of oxidative phosphorylation in bilaterian metazoans
Creators: name: ALLISON, TOM MATTHEW
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 310405
subject: Evolutionary ecology

description: The energy that organisms use to grow and reproduce is made by stripping electrons from fuel sources and passing them to oxygen; a process called oxidative phosphorylation. For the first two billion years of life, oxidative phosphorylation was governed by a single genome and subject to a single form of selection: natural selection. In modern animals, not only is this process governed by two distinct genomes, each with their own unique inheritance patterns, but it is potentially subject to a new form of selection (in addition to natural selection); that is sexual selection. This thesis examines the consequences of these ecological differences in oxidative phosphorylation.

description: A central problem in estimating per unit costs of production originates from the fact that most farms produce multiple outputs and standard farm-accounting data are only available at the whole-farm level. The seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) approach is used to estimate per unit production costs based on German farm accountancy data. Special emphasis is put on outlier detection prior to the estimation of production costs to increase the robustness of the results. Outlier observations are identified based on the Mahalanobis distance for each observation on the data set. It was observed that less negative cost coefficients are estimated after the exclusion of the outliers. The time series analysis of cost estimation based on SUR regression shows the costs of arable crops after 2004, affected by rising prices of fertilizer, seeds and energy, while the increase of livestock production costs after 2006 is attributed to feed costs.

Nonsingular Black Holes From Charged Dust Collapse: A Concrete Mechanism to Evade Interior Singularities in General Relativity

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this essay we examine the gravitational collapse of a nonrelativistic charged perfect fluid interacting with a dark energy component. Given a simple factor for the energy transfer, we obtain a nonsingular interior solution which naturally matches the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter exterior geometry. We also show that the interacting parameter is proportional to the overall charge of the final black hole thus formed. For the case of quasi-extremal configurations, we propose a statistical model for the entropy of the collapsed matter. This entropy extends Bekenstein's geometrical entropy by an additive constant proportional to the area of the extremal black hole.

description: Technical efficiency has long been analysed as a measure of farm performance, however most studies are restricted to a single country case. This paper presents a comparative analysis of field crop and dairy farm performance across eight EU countries, including two New Member States (NMS), focusing on long run stability and mobility patterns. The main research question is how relative performance of farms fluctuates over time, i.e. whether poorly performing farms remain always inefficient whilst some farms are always very efficient. Results show that on average 60% of farms maintain their efficiency ranking in two consecutive years, whilst 20% improve and 20% worsen their positions, for all countries. Due to the unstable economic conditions, farms in NMS are more mobile than those in EU15.

Hidden Non-Locality and Self-Superrenormalization of Quantum Gravity

description: We show that the formation/evaporation of Black Holes (BH) unitarizes quantum gravity at all the orders of the perturbation theory. Non-perturbative quantum effects save the scattering amplitudes from any polynomial divergences. Such a phenomena is intimately related to the dynamical emergence of an effective non-locality as well as emergent modifications of the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The BH production de-localizes quantum gravity vertices and propagators as a consequence of its holographically stored entropy. In this sense, quantum gravity is a superrenormalizable theory, although non-locality is hidden in its action.

description: Estimating free energy is a fundamental problem in statistical mechanics. Recently, machine-learning-based methods, particularly the variational autoregressive networks (VANs) have been proposed to minimize variational free energy and to approximate the Boltzmann distribution. VAN enjoys notable advantages, including the exact computation of the normalized joint distribution and fast sampling, which are critical features often missing in Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. However, VAN also faces significant computational challenges. These include difficulties in the optimization of variational free energy in a complicated parameter space and slow convergence of learning. In this work, we introduce an optimization technique based on natural gradients to the VAN framework, namely ng-VAN, to enhance the learning efficiency and accuracy of the conventional VAN. The method has computational complexity cubic in the batch size rather than in the number of model parameters, hence it can be efficiently implemented for a large VAN model. We carried out extensive numerical experiments on the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, spin glasses on random graphs, and the two-dimensional Ising model. Our results indicate that compared with the conventional VAN, ng-VAN significantly improves the accuracy in estimating free energy and converges much faster with shorter learning time. This allows extending the VAN framework's applicability to challenging statistical mechanics problems that were previously not accessible.

description: Current-induced magnetic excitations in Co/Cu/Co bilayer nanopillars ($\sim$50 nm in diameter) have been studied experimentally at low temperatures for large applied fields perpendicular to the layers. At sufficiently high current densities excitations, which lead to a decrease in differential resistance, are observed for both current polarities. Such bipolar excitations are not expected in a single domain model of spin-transfer. We propose that at high current densities strong asymmetries in the longitudinal spin accumulation cause spin-wave instabilities transverse to the current direction in bilayer samples, similar to those we have reported for single magnetic layer junctions.

description: Neutrinos may possibly violate the spin-statistics theorem, and hence obey Bose statistics or mixed statistics despite having spin half. We find the generalized equilibrium distribution function of neutrinos which depends on a single fermi-bose parameter, κ, and interpolates continuously between the bosonic and fermionic distributions when κchanges from -1 to +1. We consider modification of the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) in the presence of bosonic or partly bosonic neutrinos. For pure bosonic neutrinos the abundances change (in comparison with the usual Fermi-Dirac case) by -3.2% for 4He (which is equivalent to a decrease of the effective number of neutrinos by ΔN_ν= - 0.6), +2.6% for 2H and -7% for 7Li. These changes provide a better fit to the BBN data. Future BBN studies will be able to constrain the fermi-bose parameter to κ> 0.5, if no deviation from fermionic nature of neutrinos is found. We also evaluate the sensitivity of future CMB and LSS observations to the fermi-bose parameter.

description: Meshes are ubiquitous in visual computing and simulation, yet most existing machine learning techniques represent meshes only indirectly, e.g. as the level set of a scalar field or deformation of a template, or as a disordered triangle soup lacking local structure. This work presents a scheme to directly generate manifold, polygonal meshes of complex connectivity as the output of a neural network. Our key innovation is to define a continuous latent connectivity space at each mesh vertex, which implies the discrete mesh. In particular, our vertex embeddings generate cyclic neighbor relationships in a halfedge mesh representation, which gives a guarantee of edge-manifoldness and the ability to represent general polygonal meshes. This representation is well-suited to machine learning and stochastic optimization, without restriction on connectivity or topology. We first explore the basic properties of this representation, then use it to fit distributions of meshes from large datasets. The resulting models generate diverse meshes with tessellation structure learned from the dataset population, with concise details and high-quality mesh elements. In applications, this approach not only yields high-quality outputs from generative models, but also enables directly learning challenging geometry processing tasks such as mesh repair.

description: Existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the collision-induced breakage and coag-ulation equation are shown when coagulation is the dominant mechanism for small volumes. The collision kernel may feature a stronger singularity for small volumes than the ones considered in previous contributions. In addition, when the collision kernel is locally bounded, the class of fragment daughter distribution functions included in the analysis is broader. Mass-conserving solutions are also constructed when the collision kernel grows at most linearly at infinity and are proved to be unique for initial conditions decaying sufficiently fast at infinity. The existence proofs relies on a weak compactness approach in L 1 .

The Ps optical deformation-potential coupling constant $D_{o}$ in MgF$_{2}$ has been determined to be $(1.8\pm0.3)\times10^{9}$ eV/cm. We also show that the Ps momentum distribution is sensitive to second-order phase transitions in those crystals where optical deformation-potential scattering is allowed in one and forbidden in another crystalline phase.

description: Ultralight bosonic fields can form condensates, or clouds, around spinning black holes. When this system is under the influence of a secondary massive body, its tidal response can be quantified in the tidal Love numbers (TLNs). Although TLNs vanish for black holes in vacuum, it has been shown that the same is not true for black holes immersed in matter environments. In this work, we compute the gravitational TLNs of black holes surrounded by scalar clouds, in the Newtonian limit. We show that they are non-vanishing, have a strong power-law dependence on the boson's mass, and are proportional to the scalar cloud's total mass. In particular, we find that, independently of the cloud's configuration, the TLNs from axisymmetric tides scale as $\propto r_c^{2l+1}$, for $r_c$ the cloud's "radius" and $l$ the multipole order of the external tidal field. This differs by a factor $r_c$ from previous estimates based on scalar and vector tidal perturbations but is in perfect agreement with the behavior of TLNs in other matter systems. Furthermore, we show that the adiabatic tides approximation we employ is, in general, not appropriate for non-axisymmetric tidal interactions.

title: SPORT & EXERCISE PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSIONAL DOCTORATE PORTFOLIO
Creators: name: Anderson, R
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2020

description: This portfolio provides an insight into the development of a trainee sport psychology practitioner through the professional doctorate in sport and exercise psychology at Liverpool John Moores University. The portfolio provides evidence, through a combination of consultancy, research, and reflective practice, of how the trainee sport psychology practitioner successfully meets the competencies (professional standards, consultancy, research, and dissemination) of the British Psychological Society's Stage 2 training pathway. The practice log provides a summative view of the many hours spent by the author learning, implementing and evaluating knowledge and skills of sport psychology. The three consultancy case studies and one teaching case study provide a more in-depth, critical and reflective insight into the authors applied practice. These experiences contributed to the authors development of a coherent and congruent philosophy of practice, which can be confidently delivered with athletes, coaches, and other key stakeholders across sports, cultures, and contexts. Throughout these applied experiences, the trainee practitioner was also able to demonstrate diversity in their training by working with multiple sports (rugby union, tennis, football, cricket, golf, snooker, and show jumping). The reflective practice diary highlights the critical moments experienced by the trainee practitioner throughout this journey, which support the development of a coherent personal and professional identity. The two empirical papers and systematic review attempt to bridge the gap between theory and practice by exploring topics such as: the characteristics of effective sport psychologists, why sport psychologists adopt psychological models into their practice, and how practitioners story their experiences of applied consultancy. Research, combined with opportunities to disseminate findings in professional forums and academic conferences, allowed the author to understand how his values and beliefs transfer across his training, consultancy, and continuing thirst for knowledge.

description: European statistics show that one of the most widespread source of health risks related to food is mycotoxins. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the Italian consumers’ perception of the mycotoxins’ risk and, more specifically, their willingness-to-pay (WTP) for a hypothetical bottle of milk obtained by cows in which the feed ration contains maize certified for the ‘good practices’ that reduce such risk. For this purpose, a web-based stated choice (SC) experiment involving a representative sample of 973 Italian consumers has been carried out and WTP has been measured using the panel data version of a Random Parameters Logit (RPL) model. The results show that Italian consumers are willing to pay a rather high average price premium for “reduced-micotoxin” milk. This premium becomes even higher for female, middle-age and low-education consumers.

description: XMM-Newton archival observations of the Be/X-ray binary candidate RX J0103.6-7201 revealed pulsations with a period of ~1323 s. This makes RX J0103.6-7201 the X-ray pulsar with the longest period known in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). More than 150 X-ray observations of RX J0103.6-7201 by ROSAT, Chandra and XMM-Newton show flux variations by a factor of 50 on time scales of days to years. Using the accurate positions obtained from ACIS-I images the optical counterpart is identified with a V = 14.6 mag emission line star. EPIC spectra of RX J0103.6-7201 above 1 keV are consistent with an absorbed power-law with column density between (6-9)x10^21 cm^-2, except during one observation when an extraordinary high value of 1.1x10^23 cm^-2 was measured which strongly attenuated the power-law emission below 3 keV. A soft excess between 0.5 and 1.0 keV is evident in the spectra which becomes best visible in the highly absorbed spectrum. The soft component can be reproduced by a thermal plasma emission model with its luminosity strongly correlated with the total intrinsic source luminosity. Including results from three other SMC Be/X-ray binaries extends the linear correlation over three orders of magnitude in source intensity, strongly suggesting that the same mechanism is responsible for the generation of the soft emission.

description: Consumers' preferences for meat quality attributes such as color influence their purchasing decisions. Better understanding of consumer preferences can help meat processors and others attain effective product development and marketing and inform public policy decisions on nutrition and food safety education. Modified atmosphere packaging extends the shelf-life of fresh meat and, with the inclusion of carbon monoxide, achieves dramatic color stabilization. The value that US and German consumers' place on ground beef packaging techniques was quantifies by means of non-hypothetical choice experiments.

description: Quantum computation is an emerging technology that promises a wide range of possible use cases. This promise is primarily based on algorithms that are unlikely to be viable over the coming decade. For near-term applications, quantum software needs to be carefully tailored to the hardware available. In this paper, we begin to explore whether near-term quantum computers could provide tools that are useful in the creation and implementation of computer games. The procedural generation of geopolitical maps and their associated history is considered as a motivating example. This is performed by encoding a rudimentary decision making process for the nations within a quantum procedure that is well-suited to near-term devices. Given the novelty of quantum computing within the field of procedural generation, we also provide an introduction to the basic concepts involved.

description: We compute the energy per particle of normal liquid ${}^3$He in the temperature range $0.15-2$ K using Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations, leveraging a recently proposed method to overcome the sign problem -- a long-standing challenge in many-body fermionic simulations. This approach is based on introducing a parameter $ξ$ into the partition function, which allows a generalization from bosons ($ξ=1$) to fermions ($ξ=-1$). By simulating systems with $ξ\geq 0$, where the sign problem is absent, one can then extrapolate to the fermionic case at $ξ= -1$. Guided by an independent particle model that uncovers non-analytic behavior due to the superfluid transition, which is moderated by finite-size effects, we develop a tailored extrapolation strategy for liquid ${}^3$He that departs from the extrapolation schemes shown to be accurate in those cases were quantum degeneracy effects are weak, and enables accurate results in the presence of Bose-Einstein Condensation and superfluidity for $ξ> 0$. Our approach extends the previously proposed framework and yields energy per particle values in good agreement with experimental data.

description: Most parents are aware of fruits and vegetables being healthy for children, but children's and adolescents's dietary intake of F&V is still below the recommendations. The question to be investigated is: what fills the gap between parents' nutritional knowledge and children's diet? A mixed methods research was conducted to study parental perspective of children nutrition. Parental information needs were explored conducting a content analysis of 178 nutrition questions posed by parents 2008 contacting the helpdesk of a public funded consumer website. Each question was coded for main and sub topics, worries and fears, using a standardized coding form. Based on this study a questionnaire was developed inquiring parental knowledge, attitudes and perceived difficulties regarding children's nutrition. A sample of 731 parents of children between 3 to 10 years complete the questionnaire including a fruit and vegetable frequency questionnaire and sociodemographic characteristics. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to include highly correlated items as independent variables. Robust OLS regression analysis was conducted, to assume the relationship between F&V consumption of children and the parental predictor variables. Content analysis revealed two main topics of parent's questions: nutrition behaviour related questions (32%) and knowledge related questions (26%). Regression analysis showed that parents' habit to provide fruit and vegetables daily as well as knowledge related aspects has a significant positive impact on children's F&V intake while the opposite holds for the determinants perceived difficulties (facto 1) and indulgent and pragmatic attitudes (fact 2). This study adds to the existing literature in that it investigates personal barriers and facilitators of parents towards their children's F&V consumption. Parental awareness of difficulties regarding fruits and vegetable consumption seems to be a strong mediator of low F&V consumption. Results suggest that nutrition information might enhance difficulties if parents lack of procedural and behavioural abilities to transform knowledge into everyday life.

description: National Health authorities recommend a decrease in the consumption of ’added’ sugar. At the same moment, a reform of the Common Organisation of the Sugar Market will lead to a decrease by more than 30% of the sugar price in the EU. Using the example of the soft drink industry, this paper investigates the impact of that reform on the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages. Because the soft drink industry as well as the retail industry are both highly concentrated, using structural econometrics model, we first estimate models of vertical relationships between the beverage industry and the retail industry. After selecting the ’best’ model of vertical relationships, we then simulate the impact of the decrease in sugar price on prices and consumption for different categories of consumers. We also study the impact of setting taxes on soft drink as it was recently proposed in order to counterbalance the impact of the sugar policy reform. Using French data on the Soft Drinks purchases, we find that this reform could decrease prices by 5% and increase market shares of regular products by 8% that would rise the consumption of regular soft drink by more than 1 liter per year and per person. The increase in per person consumption is larger in households composed of overweight and obese individuals. A tax of 6 cents on high sugar content products and 3 cents on low sugar content products might more than annihilate the effect of the sugar price decrease. In average, the combination of the sugar policy reform and the additional tax might provoke a decrease in the average consumption of regular soft drinks by and would fall the consumption of regular soft drinks by about 1.9 liters per person. The policy reforms have also some impact on the demand of diet products as there is some substitution between regular and diet products.

description: Radio-quiet Seyfert galaxies have been detected in GeV gamma-rays by the $Fermi$ Large Area Telescope (LAT), but the origin of much of this emission is unclear. We consider the nearby example, the Seyfert galaxy GRS 1734-292, which exhibits weak starburst and jet activities that are insufficient to explain the observed gamma-ray flux. With the first detailed multi-wavelength study of this source, we demonstrate that an active galactic nucleus (AGN) disk wind can account for its gamma-ray emission. Using a lepto-hadronic emission model based on a shocked ambient medium and a shocked wind region created by an AGN accretion disk wind, we identify two viable scenarios that are consistent with the $Fermi$-LAT data and multi-wavelength observations: a hadronic $pp$-dominated scenario and a leptonic external Compton-dominated scenario. Both of these show that future observations with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) and the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) could detect TeV emission from a disk wind in GRS 1734-292. Such a detection would substantially improve our understanding of cosmic ray acceleration efficiency in AGN disk wind systems, and would establish radio-quiet Seyfert galaxies as cosmic ray accelerators capable of reaching ultra-high energies.

description: We quantify the effect of the spin-orbit interaction on the Rydberg-like series of image state electrons at the (111) and (001) surface of Ir, Pt and Au. Using relativistic multiple-scattering methods we find Rashba-like dispersions with Delta E(K)=gamma K with values of gamma for n=1 states in the range 38-88 meV Angstrom. Extending the phase-accumulation model to include spin-orbit scattering we find that the splittings vary like 1/(n+a)^3 where a is the quantum defect and that they are related to the probability of spin-flip scattering at the surface. The splittings should be observable experimentally being larger in magnitude than some exchange-splittings that have been resolved by inverse photoemission, and are comparable to linewidths from inelastic lifetimes.

The human spinal cord : an improved physical model
Creators: name: Reed, Shannon Gail
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition which can occur by impact of bone fragments during spinal fracture as well as from spinal motion which exceeds the normal physiologic range. The deformation undergone by the spinal cord during these injuries is currently poorly understood. This information is important for the validation of mathematical models of spinal cord injury and in the evaluation of animal models to determine if they are representative of human spinal cord injuries. An accurate surrogate physical model of the human spinal cord would allow measurement of the cord deformations during in vitro spine injury experiments. The objectives of this study were to develop a physical model of the in vivo human spinal cord. This included identifying a material which matches the in vivo modulus of elasticity of the spinal cord, testing its behaviour in uniaxial tension and transverse compression with and without the dura mater and the CSF present. QM Skin 30 elastomer was identified as the best surrogate material for the in vivo human spinal cord. The modulus of elasticity of QM Skin 30 in tension and compression matched that reported for the in vivo spinal cord. A burst fracture injury was simulated with the dura mater and CSF surrounding the surrogate cord indicating that this form of the surrogate cord is the best match for the in vitro bovine spinal cord in similar conditions. Uniaxial tension tests performed at different strain rates indicated that it is viscoelastic. However, the viscoelasticity of the surrogate cord is less than desired. A quasilinear viscoelastic and general linear model were presented to describe the relaxation and creep response. The surrogate cord developed in this study incorporates a range of mechanical properties which have been reported for the spinal cord but which have not all been included in one surrogate cord before now. By virtue of its concordance with in vivo spinal cord properties and our advanced understanding of its behaviour it is appropriate for in vitro spine experiments.

description: We use digital quantum computing to simulate the creation of particles in a dynamic spacetime. We consider a system consisting of a minimally coupled massive quantum scalar field in a spacetime undergoing homogeneous and isotropic expansion, transitioning from one stationary state to another through a brief inflationary period. We simulate two vibration modes, positive and negative for a given field momentum, by devising a quantum circuit that implements the time evolution. With this circuit, we study the number of particles created after the universe expands at a given rate, both by simulating the circuit and by actual experimental implementation on IBM quantum computers, consisting of hundreds of quantum gates. We find that state-of-the-art error mitigation techniques are useful to improve the estimation of the number of particles and the fidelity of the state.
