title: Realism, social constructionism and 'natural' hazards : a study of people-nature relations in Egypt and the U.K.
Creators: name: Homan, Jacqueline.
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Recent literature in the social sciences has emphasized the socially constructed nature of knowledge. Consequently, this has had a bearing upon the understanding of science; interpretations of the natural world; and issues associated with understanding 'the Other'. The relevance of these wider social debates can be extended into a consideration of 'natural' hazards in different cultural contexts. This thesis attempts to develop a 'middle ground', drawing on theories of critical realism, that appreciates the socially constructed nature of scientific practice, but that retains the empancipatory, positive potential of science and that allows intervention in other cultural contexts. The remainder of the thesis attempts to put some of these ideas into practice and to develop the implications of these arguments for those interested in understanding and mitigating 'natural' hazards in other cultures. Two case studies are used, relating to Egypt and the U.K., which explore the scientific understandings of 'natural' hazard events in two different cultural contexts. Fundamental to the approach adopted is the need to acknowledge science as a social practice and how it functions within different societies. Examples are given, pertaining to both Egypt and the U.K., of what this might mean in 'practice'. In summary, therefore, there is an appreciation of the implications of recent social science literature for hazards research and the development of a practical approach to hazards with a social and philosophical justification

Search for Scalar Charm Quark Pair Production in pp Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV with the ATLAS Detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The results of a dedicated search for pair production of scalar partners of charm quarks are reported. The search is based on an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The search is performed using events with large missing transverse momentum and at least two jets, where the two leading jets are each tagged as originating from c-quarks. Events containing isolated electrons or muons are vetoed. In an R-parity-conserving minimal supersymmetric scenario in which a single scalar-charm state is kinematically accessible, and where it decays exclusively into a charm quark and a neutralino, 95% confidence-level upper limits are obtained in the scalar-charm-neutralino mass plane such that, for neutralino masses below 200 GeV, scalar-charm masses up to 490 GeV are excluded.

description: We investigated the acoustic radiation force (ARF) acting on a cylindrical brass particle near an acoustically soft plate patterned with a periodic deep grating. The existence of a negative ARF by which the particle can be pulled towards the sound source is confirmed. In addition, the bandwidth for negative ARF in this soft-plate system is found to be considerably broader than in the stiff-plate systems typically used in previous studies. It is further demonstrated by field distribution analysis that the negative ARF is caused by the gradient force induced by the gradient vortex velocity field near the surface, which stems from the collective resonance excitation of the antisymmetric coupling of Scholte surface waves in the thin plate. The effects of particle location and size on the ARF were also investigated in detail. The negative ARF has potential use in applications requiring particle manipulation using acoustic waves.

Observation of $WWW$ Production in $pp$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS Detector
Creators: name: The ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: This Letter reports the observation of $WWW$ production and a measurement of its cross section using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two same-sign leptons (electrons or muons) and at least two jets, as well as events with three charged leptons, are selected. A multivariate technique is then used to discriminate between signal and background events. Events from $WWW$ production are observed with a significance of 8.0 standard deviations, where the expectation is 5.4 standard deviations. The inclusive $WWW$ production cross section is measured to be $820 \pm 100\,\text{(stat)} \pm 80\,\text{(syst)}$ fb, approximately 2.6 standard deviations from the predicted cross section of $511 \pm 18$ fb calculated at next-to-leading-order QCD and leading-order electroweak accuracy.

description: We study some rare decays of $B$ meson involving the quark level transition $b \to q l^+l^- (q=d,s)$ in the scalar leptoquark model. We constrain the leptoquark parameter space using the recently measured branching ratios of $B_{s,d} \to μ^+ μ^-$ processes. Using such parameters, we obtain the branching ratios, direct CP violation parameters and isospin asymmetries in $B \to K μ^+ μ^-$ and $B \to πμ^+ μ^-$ processes. We also obtain the branching ratios for some lepton flavour violating decays $B \to l_i^+ l_j^-$. We find that the various anomalies associated with the isospin asymmetries of $B \to K μ^+ μ^-$ process can be explained in the scalar leptoquark model.

description: This paper explores how both annotation procedures and automatic detection (i.e. classifiers) can be used to assess the consistency of textual literary concepts. We developed an annotation tagset for the ‘literary comment’ – a frequently used but rarely defined concept – and its subtypes (interpretative comment, attitude comment and metanarrative/metafictional comment) and trained a multi-output and a binary classifier. The multi-output classifier shows F-scores of 28% for attitude comment, 36% for interpretative comment and 48% for meta comment, whereas the binary classifier achieves F-scores up to 59%. Crucially, both our annotation and the automatic classification struggle with the same subtypes of comment, although annotation and classification follow completely different procedures. Our findings suggest an inconsistency in the overall literary concept ‘comment’ and most prominently the subtypes ‘attitude comment’ and ‘interpretative comment’. As a best-practice-example, our approach illustrates that the contribution of Digital Humanities to Literary Studies may go beyond the automatic recognition of literary phenomena.

description: Device fingerprinting combined with Machine and Deep Learning (ML/DL) report promising performance when detecting cyberattacks targeting data managed by resource-constrained spectrum sensors. However, the amount of data needed to train models and the privacy concerns of such scenarios limit the applicability of centralized ML/DL-based approaches. Federated learning (FL) addresses these limitations by creating federated and privacy-preserving models. However, FL is vulnerable to malicious participants, and the impact of adversarial attacks on federated models detecting spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) attacks on spectrum sensors has not been studied. To address this challenge, the first contribution of this work is the creation of a novel dataset suitable for FL and modeling the behavior (usage of CPU, memory, or file system, among others) of resource-constrained spectrum sensors affected by different SSDF attacks. The second contribution is a pool of experiments analyzing and comparing the robustness of federated models according to i) three families of spectrum sensors, ii) eight SSDF attacks, iii) four scenarios dealing with unsupervised (anomaly detection) and supervised (binary classification) federated models, iv) up to 33% of malicious participants implementing data and model poisoning attacks, and v) four aggregation functions acting as anti-adversarial mechanisms to increase the models robustness.

title: The Development of Ecological Identities in Children’s Books: A Linguistic Approach to Character Positioning as Eco-Rebels
Creators: name: Lüdicke, Corinna
Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2025

description: Eco-rebels can provide readers a role model that encourages sustainable thinking and action in everyday life. The protagonists in ecological children’s and young adult literature (CYL) are mostly ignorant at the beginning. They learn as the story progresses and develop into environmentally conscious individuals who are taken seriously and actively committed to protecting their environment. This article would like to present a linguistic method for analyzing how readers are guided in ecological CYL, allowing them to follow and understand the protagonist’s change towards becoming an eco-rebel. This study hypothesizes that the development of an ecological identity, although an individual evolution in the story, is a pattern of ecological CYL. The possibilities for identification that a text offers its reader must be considered as crucial for the experiences gained within the fiction framework to influence real consciousness and development processes. In this context, Bamberg’s identity dilemmatic spaces are used for the analysis, allowing the construction of identity in storytelling to be made tangible. These identity dilemmatic spaces have been expanded to include linguistic categories. The construction of the figure of the eco-rebel can thus be analyzed according to different linguistically based or narrative-based aspects like speech markings or the development of an agenda.
An emerging population of BL Lacs with extreme properties: towards a class of EBL and cosmic magnetic field probes?

description: High energy observations of extreme BL Lac objects, such as 1ES 0229+200 or 1ES 0347-121, recently focused interest both for blazar and jet physics and for the implication on the extragalactic background light and intergalactic magnetic field estimate. However, the number of these extreme highly peaked BL Lac objects (EHBL) is still rather small. Aiming at increase their number, we selected a group of EHBL candidates starting from the BL Lac sample of Plotkin et al. (2011), considering those undetected (or only barely detected) by the Large Area Telescope onboard Fermi and characterized by a high X-ray vs. radio flux ratio. We assembled the multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution of the resulting 9 sources, profiting of publicly available archival observations performed by the Swift, Galex and Fermi satellites, confirming their nature. Through a simple one-zone synchrotron self-Compton model we estimate the expected VHE flux, finding that in the majority of cases it is within the reach of present generation of Cherenkov arrays or of the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA).

description: Recent estimates indicate that there are over 1 million runaway and homeless youth and young adults (RHY) in the United States (US). Exposure to trauma, violence, and substance abuse, coupled with a lack of community support services, puts homeless youth at high risk of being exploited and trafficked. Although access to safe housing and supportive services such as physical and mental healthcare is an effective response to youths vulnerability towards being trafficked, the number of youth experiencing homelessness exceeds the capacity of available housing resources in most US communities. We undertake a RHY-informed, systematic, and data driven approach to project the collective capacity required by service providers to adequately meet the needs of homeless youth in New York City, including those most at risk of being trafficked. Our approach involves an integer linear programming model that extends the multiple multidimensional knapsack problem and is informed by partnerships with key stakeholders. The mathematical model allows for time-dependent allocation and capacity expansion, while incorporating stochastic youth arrivals and length of stays, services provided in a periodic fashion, and service delivery time windows. Our RHY and service provider-centered approach is an important step toward meeting the actual, rather than presumed, survival needs of vulnerable youth, particularly those at-risk of being trafficked.

description: We write new functional renormalization group equations for a scalar nonminimally coupled to gravity. Thanks to the choice of the parametrization and of the gauge fixing they are simpler than older equations and avoid some of the difficulties that were previously present. In three dimensions these equations admit, at least for sufficiently small fields, a solution that may be interpreted as a gravitationally dressed Wilson-Fisher fixed point. We also find for any dimension d>2 two analytic scaling solutions which we study for d=3 and d=4. One of them corresponds to the fixed point of the Einstein-Hilbert truncation, the others involve a nonvanishing minimal coupling.

description: Precipitate-matrix interactions govern the mechanical behavior of precipitate strengthened Al-based alloys. These alloys find a wide range of applications ranging from aerospace to automobile and naval industries due to their low cost and high strength to weight ratio. Structures made from Al-based alloys undergo complex loading conditions such as high strain rate impact, which involves high pressures. Here we use diamond anvil cells to study the behavior of Al-based Al7075 alloy under quasi-hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic pressure up to ~53 GPa. In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and pre- and post-compression transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging are used to analyze microstructural changes and estimate high pressure strength. We find a bulk modulus of 75.2 +- 1.9 GPa using quasi-hydrostatic pressure XRD measurements. XRD showed that non-hydrostatic pressure leads to a significant increase in defect density and peak broadening with pressure cycling. XRD mapping under non-hydrostatic pressure revealed that the region with the highest local pressure had the greatest increase in defect nucleation, whereas the region with the largest local pressure gradient underwent texturing and had larger grains. TEM analysis showed that pressure cycling led to the nucleation and growth of many precipitates. The significant increase in defect and precipitate density leads to an increase in strength for Al7075 alloy at high pressures.

description: Low & Rebelo (1996) and Rutherford & Westfall (1994) reported in their studies of biomes that the forest biome is the smallest and most fragmented biome in South Africa. Low & Rebelo (1996) estimated that indigenous coastal forest patches cover less than 500 000 ha. Bhugeloo et al. (2019) indicated in their study on urban indigenous forest cover that coastal forests are in decline in urban KwaZulu-Natal. McCracken et al. (2015) indicate in their book on the Forests of Durban that by 2013 only 6% of the Northern Coastal Forest complex of 1850 was still left. Alexander et al. (2019) reported in their study on the effects on eco-estate development, that there is, however, functional improvement of ecosystem services within eco-estates along the north-coast of KwaZulu-Natal with reference to land set aside for conservation. Kambaj et al. (2018) compared three Northern Coastal Forests and reported that anthropogenic impacts on North Coast Forests have led to higher species richness through plant species that accompany humans and that are atypical to the forest or are alien invaders. Zimbali Coastal Resort was developed in 1996 by the Tongaat-Hulett Development Company on 456 hectares of coastal real estate. This development comprises of approximately 600 free-standing residential homes, 44 planned-unit developments scattered in the forest and around the 18 home golf course, and where there are tourism facilities such as the Zimbali Lodge, the Capital Hotel and recreational facilities such as the Valley of Pools and Bush Buck Club. The areas of natural forest known as Holy Hill, Bush Buck Club forest, Corkwood Drive forest and the strip of dune forest along the south-eastern boundary were left undeveloped. The quality of the forest inspired the developers to embrace a conservation ethos in the establishment of the development philosophy of “Real forest living”. The Zimbali Estate Management Association (ZEMA) is charged with the day-to-day maintenance and conservation actions required to protect the forest. Despite the importance of the forest as the basis for the Estate’s vision and ethos, not much is known about the forest’s morphology, integrity and composition. Records of the plants species present in the forest are anecdotal. Nichols (2004) reported that previous scientific studies conducted in the forest have been used in internal reports and are not readily available to review and while references to the studies have been located, the contents of the studies have not. Therefore, when it comes to the forest, its history is not clear, there is limited information on the successional trends associated with it, and a deeper understanding of the forest as a natural phenomenon is required.

description: Dynamics of the imbalance in occupations on even and odd sites of a lattice serves as one of the key characteristics for identification of the many-body localization transition. In this work, we investigate the long-time behaviour of the imbalance in disordered one- and two-dimensional many-body systems in the regime of diffusive or subdiffusive transport. We show that memory effects originating from a coupling between slow and fast modes lead to a power-law decay of the imbalance, with the exponent determined by the diffusive (or subdiffusive) transport law and the spatial dimensionality. Analytical results are supported by numerical simulations performed on a two-dimensional system in the regime of weak localization.

description: Black hole neutron star (BHNS) mergers have recently been detected through their gravitational-wave (GW) emission. BHNS mergers could also produce electromagnetic (EM) emission as a short gamma-ray burst (sGRB), and/or an sGRB afterglow upon interaction with the circummerger medium. Here, we make predictions for the expected detection rates with the Square Kilometre Array Phase 1 (SKA1) of sGRB radio afterglows associated with BHNS mergers. We also investigate the benefits of a multimessenger analysis in inferring the properties of the merging binary. We simulate a population of BHNS mergers and estimate their sGRB afterglow flux to obtain the detection rates with SKA1. We investigate how this rate depends on the GW detector sensitivity, the primary black hole (BH) spin, and the neutron star equation of state. We then perform a multimessenger Bayesian inference study on a fiducial BHNS merger. We simulate its sGRB afterglow and GW emission and take systematic errors into account. The expected rates of a combined GW and radio detection with the current generation GW detectors are likely low. Due to the much increased sensitivity of future GW detectors like the Einstein Telescope, the chances of an sGRB localisation and radio detection increase substantially. The unknown distribution of the BH spin has a big influence on the detection rates, however, and it is a large source of uncertainty. Furthermore, for our fiducial BHNS merger we are able to infer both the binary source parameters as well as the parameters of the sGRB afterglow simultaneously when combining the GW and radio data. The radio data provides useful extra information on the binary parameters such as the mass ratio but this is limited by the systematic errors involved. A better understanding of the systematics will further increase the amount of information on the binary parameters that can be extracted from this radio data.

description: In many mammalian species, females live on average longer than males. In humans, women have consistently longer telomeres than men, and this has led to speculation that sex differences in telomere length (TL) could play a role in sex differences in longevity. To address the generality and drivers of patterns of sex differences in TL across vertebrates, we performed meta-analyses across 51 species. We tested two main evolutionary hypotheses proposed to explain sex differences in TL, namely the heterogametic sex disadvantage and the sexual selection hypotheses. We found no support for consistent sex differences in TL between males and females among mammal, bird, fish and reptile species. This absence of sex differences in TL across different classes of vertebrates does not support the heterogametic sex disadvantage hypothesis. Likewise, the absence of any negative effect of sexual size dimorphism on male TL suggests that sexual selection is not likely to mediate the magnitude of sex differences in TL across vertebrates. Finally, the comparative analyses we conducted did not detect any association between sex differences in TL and sex differences in longevity, which does not support the idea that sex differences in TL could explain the observed sex differences in longevity.

description: Simplified models are an important tool for the interpretation of searches for new physics at the LHC. They are defined by a small number of new particles together with a specific production and decay pattern. The simplified models adopted in the experimental analyses thus far have been derived from supersymmetric theories, and they have been used to set limits on supersymmetric particle masses. We investigate the applicability of such simplified supersymmetric models to a wider class of new physics scenarios, in particular those with same-spin Standard Model partners. We focus on the pair production of quark partners and analyze searches for jets and missing energy within a simplified supersymmetric model with scalar quarks and a simplified model with spin-1/2 quark partners. Despite sizable differences in the detection efficiencies due to the spin of the new particles, the limits on particle masses are found to be rather similar. We conclude that the supersymmetric simplified models employed in current experimental analyses also provide a reliable tool to constrain same-spin BSM scenarios.

description: The associated production of a Higgs boson and a top-quark pair is important for probing the Yukawa coupling of the top quark, and calls for better theoretical modeling. In this paper, we calculate the two-loop infrared divergences in $t\bar{t}H$ production at hadron colliders. To do that we compute the one-loop amplitudes to higher orders in the dimensional regulator $ε$. Numeric results for the infrared poles are given as a reference at several representative phase-space points. The result in this work servers as a part of the ongoing efforts towards the $t\bar{t}H$ cross sections at the next-to-next-to-leading order.

description: This thesis describes the development of Multi-part Nanocubes. It is a further development of Nanocubes, an in-memory data structure for spatiotemporal data cubes. "Nanocubes provides you with real-time visualization of large datasets. Slice and dice your data with respect to space, time, or some of your data attributes, and view the results in real-time on a web browser over heatmaps, bar charts, and histograms." Partitioning the structure to parallelize the build process as well as merging query results is the principal part of this document. Furthermore, a new memory management (slab allocation with offset pointers) was implemented to enable 32-bit support and faster load times of already built nanocubes. Porting the project to Windows and implementing on-the-fly compression and decompression of nanocube files is also described.
description: Diese Bachelorarbeit beschreibt die Weiterentwicklung des Projektes Nanocubes zu Multi-part Nanocubes. Das Projekt erlaubt die Visualisierung und Filterung extrem großer Datensätze (Big Data), üblicherweise auf einer Heatmap mit zusätzlichen Diagramm. Beschrieben wird die Partitionierung der Datenstruktur, wodurch ermöglicht wird, dass moderne Mehrkernprozessoren während des Ausbauprozesses voll ausgelastet werden können. Auch das Zusammenfügen der Abfrageergebnisse ist Teil der Arbeit. Zusätzlich wurde ein neues Speicher Management System (Slab Allocation mit Offset Pointern) implementiert, was die Kompatibilität zu 32-bit Systemen ermöglicht, sowie auch schnellere Ladezeiten von bereits erzeugten und gespeicherten Nanocubes. Die Portierung des Projektes auf Windows als auch die on-the-fly Komprimierung und Dekomprimierung während des Speichern und Laden eines Nanocubes wird beschrieben.

description: Yoshida's Conjecture formulated by H. Yoshida in 1989 states that in $\mathbb{C}^{2N}$ equipped with the canonical symplectic form $\mathrm{d}\mathbf{p} \wedge \mathrm{d} \mathbf{q},$ the Hamiltonian flow corresponding to the Hamiltonian function \begin{equation*} H = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{N} p_{i}^{2} \sum_{i=1}^{N} p_{i}^{2} + \sum_{i=0}^{N} (q_i - q_{i+1})^k, \ \quad \text{with\ } q_0 = q_{N+1} = 0, \label{system} \end{equation*} where $N\geq 3$ is odd and $k\geq 4$ is even, has no meromorphic first integral functionally independent of $H$. For $N=3$ and $N=5$ with $k\geq 4$ arbitrary even number, the result was proved true by Maciejewski, Przybylska and Yoshida in 2012 by means of differential Galois theory. However, the question whether Yoshida's conjecture is true in general, remained open. In this paper we give a proof that this conjecture is in fact true for infinitely many values of $N$ using the results of R. D. Costin which are based on the so-called poly-Painlevé method devised by M. Kruskal.

description: Quantum spin liquids are fascinating phases of matter, hosting fractionalized spin excitations and unconventional long-range quantum entanglement. These exotic properties, however, also render their experimental characterization challenging, and finding ways to diagnose quantum spin liquids is therefore a pertinent challenge. Here, we numerically compute the spectral function of a single hole doped into the half-filled Hubbard model on the triangular lattice using techniques based on matrix product states. At half-filling the system has been proposed to realize a chiral spin liquid at intermediate interaction strength, surrounded by a magnetically ordered phase at strong interactions and a superconducting/metallic phase at weak interactions. We find that the spectra of these phases exhibit distinct signatures. By developing appropriate parton mean-field descriptions, we gain insight into the relevant low-energy features. While the magnetic phase is characterized by a dressed hole moving through the ordered spin background, we find indications of spinon dynamics in the chiral spin liquid. Our results suggest that the hole spectral function, as measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, provides a useful tool to characterize quantum spin liquids.
