title: An Ontology-based Approach to Web Site Design and Development
Creators: name: Lei, Yuangui
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: Building a data-intensive web site is a complex task. Ad-hoc rapid prototyping approaches easily lead to unsatisfactory results, e. g. poor maintainability and extensibility. The situation becomes even more difficult when customization issues arise and web sites need to present customized views to individual users. To address this problem, a number of model-based approaches have been proposed, which attempt to simplify the design and development of data-intensive web sites. However these approaches suffer a number of limitations, such as relatively little support for the composition of sophisticated user interfaces and the specification of presentation styles and little support for customization design. In this work we propose and implement an ontology-based approach, OntoWeaver, which provides comprehensive support for the design and development of data-intensive web sites. In particular, OntoWeaver provides a set of ontologies to represent all aspects of data-intensive web sites in a declarative and re-usable format. The declarative nature of the specification of web sites opens up a number of possibilities with respect to intelligent analysis and management. Moreover, OntoWeaver includes providing high level support for developing customized web sites. Finally, it offers a powerful tool suite to support the design and development of data-intensive web sites. In the course of this research, we have also extended OntoWeaver by addressing the issue of integrating web service technology into a high level web site design framework.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) has garnered significant interest in both research and industry due to its profound impact on human life. The rapid expansion of IoT technology has ushered in smart healthcare, smart devices, smart cities, and smart grids. However, the security of IoT devices, particularly in healthcare, has become a major concern, with recent attacks revealing serious vulnerabilities. In IoT networks, where connected devices are susceptible to resource-constraint attacks, such as energy consumption attacks, security is paramount.
 This paper explores the impact of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and Fake Access Points (F-APs) attacks on WiFi-enabled smart healthcare devices. Specifically, it investigates how these attacks can disrupt service on victim devices and Access Points (APs), focusing on device connectivity and energy consumption during attacks. Key findings include identifying the attack rates of DDoS attacks that disrupt services and quantifying the energy consumption impact of Energy Consumption Distributed Denial of Service (EC-DDoS) and F-APs attacks on smart healthcare devices.
 The study highlights communication protocols, attack rates, payload sizes, and port states of victim devices as critical factors influencing energy consumption. These insights provide a comprehensive understanding of IoT device vulnerabilities in smart healthcare environments and lay the groundwork for future defense strategies.

A critical analysis on deeply bound kaonic states in nuclei

description: We make a critical analysis on the theoretical calculations that lead to predictions of deeply bound kaonic states in nuclei. The model set-up, after dropping several important processes and channels, leads unavoidably to an unrealistic deep potential with a very small imaginary part. We review also the experimental results taken as reference for the claim of deeply bound kaons. We suggest that the peaks of the proton spectra come from $K^-$ absorption on a pair of nucleons, leaving the rest of the nucleons as spectators. Based on this conjecture we predict what would happen in other nuclei.

title: The production of death and dying in care homes for older people: an ethnographic account
Creators: name: Komaromy, Carol
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: This thesis explores 'death and dying' in care homes for older people. Residents who are admitted to care home institutions are increasingly more likely to be extremely old and frail and it follows that the final product of most care homes is death. Indeed, up to one third of care home residents will die each year. In particular, the thesis explores the gap between the rhetoric of a 'good death' that heads of homes were keen to produce and the practice reality of what happened when a resident was categorised as 'dying' and at the time of death. The study draws on ethnographic data from one year of participant observation in eight care homes in England. Observing the daily life events in care homes for older people has illuminated the strategies that staff and residents deployed to manage 'death and dying' and the complexities of managing the narrow margin between life and death. The materiality of the body is not something that can be controlled or contained easily within a category. The findings highlight performances around death and what purpose these might serve, including the role of symbolism in the production of 'living' and 'dying'. They also show how the ageing body might resist powerful practices. The thesis draws on the literature of symbolic interactionism, the sociology of the body and anthropology to explain how the ageing bodies of residents were managed on their journey to death. The thesis concludes with suggestions on how this type of in-depth study might contribute to practice in those settings which house ageing and deteriorating bodies and which have been marginalised by society.

description: With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, intelligent systems are increasingly integrating into everyday life and people's homes. However, the proliferation of these technologies raises concerns about the security of smart home devices. These devices often face resource constraints and may connect to unreliable networks, posing risks to the data they handle. Securing IoT technology is crucial due to the sensitive data involved.
 Preventing energy attacks and ensuring the security of IoT infrastructure are key challenges in modern smart homes. Monitoring energy consumption can be an effective approach to detecting abnormal behavior and IoT cyberattacks. Lightweight algorithms are necessary to accommodate the resource limitations of IoT devices.
 This paper presents a lightweight technique for detecting energy consumption attacks on smart home devices by analyzing received packets. The proposed algorithm considers TCP, UDP, and MQTT protocols, as well as device statuses (Idle, active, under attack). It accounts for resource constraints and promptly alerts administrators upon detecting an attack. The proposed approach effectively identifies energy consumption attacks by measuring packet reception rates for different protocols.

description: We establish time-resolved high harmonic generation (tr-HHG) as a powerful spectroscopy for photoinduced dynamics in strongly correlated materials through a detailed investigation of the insulator-to-metal transitions in vanadium dioxide. We benchmark our technique by comparing our measurements to established momentum-resolved ultrafast electron diffraction, and theoretical density functional calculations. Tr-HHG allows distinguishing of individual dynamic channels, including a transition to a thermodynamically hidden phase. In addition, the HHG yield is shown to be modulated at a frequency characteristic of a coherent phonon in the equilibrium monoclinic phase over a wide range of excitation fluences. These results demonstrate that tr-HHG is capable of tracking complex dynamics in solids through its sensitivity to the band structure.

description: Internet of Everything (IoE) is a newly emerging trend, especially in homes. Marketing forces toward smart homes are also accelerating the spread of IoE devices in households. An obvious risk of the rapid adoption of these smart devices is that many lack controls for protecting the privacy and security of end users from attacks designed to disrupt lives and incur financial losses. Today the smart home is a system for managing the basic life support processes of both small systems, e.g., commercial, office premises, apartments, cottages, and largely automated complexes, e.g., commercial and industrial complexes. One of the critical tasks to be solved by the concept of a modern smart home is the problem of preventing the usage of IoE resources. Recently, there has been a rapid increase in attacks on consumer IoE devices.
 Memory corruption vulnerabilities constitute a significant class of vulnerabilities in software security through which attackers can gain control of an entire system. Numerous memory corruption vulnerabilities have been found in IoE firmware already deployed in the consumer market. This paper aims to analyze and explain the resource usage attack and create a low-cost simulation environment to aid in the dynamic analysis of the attack. Further, we perform controlled resource usage attacks while measuring resource consumption on resource-constrained victims' IoE devices, such as CPU and memory utilization. We also build a lightweight algorithm to detect memory usage attacks in the IoE environment. The result shows high efficiency in detecting and mitigating memory usage attacks by detecting when the intruder starts and stops the attack.

description: It was proposed recently by Murakami et al. [Science \textbf{301}, 1348(2003)] that in a large class of $p$-doped semiconductors, an applied electric field can drive a quantum dissipationless spin current in the direction perpendicular to the electric field. In this paper we investigate the effects of spin imbalance on this intrinsic $spin$ Hall effect. We show that in a real sample with boundaries, due to the presence of spin imbalance near the edges of the sample, the spin Hall conductivity is not a constant but a sensitively $position$-$dependent$ quantity, and due to this fact, in order to take the effects of spin imbalance properly into account, a microscopic calculation of both the quantum dissipationless spin Hall current and the spin accumulation on an equal footing is thus required. Based on such a microscopic calculation, a detailed discussion of the effects of spin imbalance on the intrinsic spin Hall effect in thin slabs of $p$-doped semiconductors are presented.

description: The cosmological constant is not an absolute constant. The gravitating part of the vacuum energy is adjusted to the energy density of matter and to other types of the perturbations of the vacuum. We discuss how the vacuum energy responds (i) to the curvature of space in the Einstein closed Universe; (ii) to the expansion rate in the de Sitter Universe; and (iii) to the rotation in the Goedel Universe. In all these steady state Universes, the gravitating vacuum energy is zero in the absence of the perturbation, and is proportional to the energy density of perturbation. This is in a full agreement with the thermodynamic Gibbs-Duhem relation applicable to any quantum vacuum. It demonstrates that (i) the cosmological constant is not huge, since according to the Gibbs-Duhem relation the contribution of zero point fluctuations to the vacuum energy is cancelled by the trans-Planckian degrees of freedom; (ii) the cosmological constant is non-zero, since the perturbations of the vacuum state induce the non-zero vacuum energy; and (iii) the gravitating vacuum energy is on the order of the energy density of matter and/or of other perturbations. We also consider the vacuum response to the non-steady-state perturbations. In this case the Einstein equations are modified to include the non-covariant corrections, which are responsible for the relaxation of the cosmological constant. The connection to the quintessence is demonstrated. The problem of the energy-momentum tensor for the gravitational field is discussed in terms of effective gravity. The difference between the momentum and pseudo-momentum of gravitational waves in general relativity is similar to that for sound waves in hydrodynamics.

description: A recently proposed density-dependent van der Waals model, with only $4$ free parameters adjusted to fix binding energy, saturation density, symmetry energy, and incompressibility, is analyzed under symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter constraints. In a previous paper, it was shown that this model is fully consistent with the constraints related to the binary neutron star merger event named GW170817 and reported by the LIGO and Virgo collaboration. Here, we show that it also describes satisfactorily the low and high-density regions of symmetric nuclear matter, with all the main constraints satisfied. We also found a linear correlation between the incompressibility and the skewness parameter, both at the saturation density and show how it relates to the crossing point presented in the incompressibility as a function of the density. In the asymmetric matter regime, other linear correlations are found, namely, the one between the symmetry energy ($J$) and its slope ($L_0$), and other one establishing the symmetry energy curvature as a function of the combination given by $3J-L_0$.

description: The effect of a newly born star cluster inside a giant molecular cloud (GMC) is to produce a hot bubble and a thin, dense shell of interstellar gas and dust swept up by the H II expansion, strong stellar winds, and repeated supernova explosions. Lying at the inner side of the shell is the photodissociation region (PDR), the origin of much of the far-infrared/sub-millimeter/millimeter (FIR/sub-mm/mm) radiation from the interstellar medium (ISM). We present a model for the expanding shell at different stages of its expansion which predict mm/sub-mm and far-IR emission line intensities from a series of key molecular and atomic constituents in the shell. The kinematic properties of the swept-up shell predicted by our model are in very good agreement with the measurements of the supershell detected in the nearby starburst galaxy M 82. We compare the modeling results with the ratio-ratio plots of the FIR/sub-mm/mm line emission in the central 1.0 kpc region to investigate the mechanism of star forming activity in M 82. Our model has yielded appropriate gas densities, temperatures, and structure scales compared to those measured in M 82, and the total H2 content is compatible with the observations. This implies that the neutral ISM of the central star-forming region is a product of fragments of the evolving shells.

title: Re-developing knowledge creation capability: Innovating in Indian pharmaceutical industry under the TRIPS regime
Creators: name: Kale, Dinar
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: The transition to a new technology, market or regulatory regime can be difficult for any organisation to manage. Technological and institutional change has proven to be a big cause for the failure of established firms and many examples exist of such failures. The Trade Related intellectual property rights agreement (TRIPs), as part of The World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement, represents such an institutional change for knowledge based industries from developing countries. As a result of the TRIPs agreement all of the WTO member countries will move from no or partial patent protection to fully fledged patent protection. This represents a radical break with the past in which developing countries typically had only weak levels of patent protection. Against this backdrop, the research examines the learning processes involved in the development of innovative R&D capabilities within the context of the Indian pharmaceutical industry, in response to the strengthening of patent law. In the last decade much research has addressed the process of dynamic learning within firms, however this has predominantly focused on firms from advanced countries. Previous research on developing countries mainly focused on building the minimum knowledge base essential for production and innovation activity. In recent years limited research has begun to explore dynamic learning in firms from developing countries. However, there still remains a scarcity of research which examines firm-level learning processes central to the development of advanced level capabilities. This research addresses this deficiency by applying the conceptual understanding developed within advanced countries to a developing countries context. This is operationalised through a set of research activities which investigate firm-level learning, knowledge creation and innovative capability within the context of the Indian pharmaceutical industry. The substantive conclusions are that the development of new capabilities involves the removal of redundant capabilities, coupled with the acquisition of new knowledge. The findings also indicate that Indian firms are hiring Indian scientists educated or working overseas in multinational pharmaceutical R&D and collaborating with Indian and overseas research institutes and universities to acquire capabilities in innovative R&D. Furthermore, inter-firm differences in learning processes suggest that at a firm level, learning is neither linear nor automatic and requires a deliberate strategy. The thesis also provides important insights into knowledge creation capabilities that have significant implications with respect to innovative activity for firms from other developing countries.

description: The amount of U.S. farmland in metropolitan areas increased by nearly 50 percent between 1974 and 1982. Nearly 300 additional counties were redefined as metro as a result of the 1980 census (figure 1). This increasingly metropolitan character of the Nation presents both problems and opportunities for farmers in those areas. Metro areas now contain 16 percent of the total U.S. land area, 20 percent of all cropland, and 31 percent of all farms. The best farmland is actually more fully utilized in metro areas. That is, the percentage of prime farmland used for crop production is higher in metro areas than in nonmetro areas. Also, the percentage of land classified as prime farmland is slightly higher in metro areas than elsewhere. Urban growth certainly does not mean the end of agriculture in a given area. Urbanization does not usually take the best farmland. Farmers tend to intensify production on their best land, often changing crops and inputs, and exploiting new marketing and employment opportunities.

description: Using the Bower-Liang model, we discuss how pressure anisotropies affect the microscopic and macroscopic properties of hybrid stars. We find that anisotropies affect the maximum mass, central density, and radius of the canonical stars. Anisotropies also affect the minimum neutron star mass that presents quarks in their core, as well as the total amount of quarks for the maximally massive stars. We also confront our results with standard constraints, such as the radius and the tidal parameter of the canonical star, as well as the mass and radius of the PSR J0740+6620 pulsar. We observe that moderate values for anisotropies could fulfill these constraints simultaneously. On the other hand, within more extreme degrees of anisotropies, more speculative constraints such as black widow pulsars PSR J0952-0607 and the mass-gap object in the GW190814 event can be explained as hybrid stars. We also investigate the role of anisotropies in the neutron stars' moment of inertia.

Lifting Representations of Finite Reductive Groups I : Semisimple Conjugacy Classes : semisimple conjugacy classes
Creators: name: Lansky, Joshua

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Suppose that (G) over tilde is a connected reductive group defined over a field k, and Gamma is a finite group acting via k-automorphisms of (G) over tilde satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the identity component of the group of Gamma-fixed points in (G) over tilde is reductive. We axiomatize the main features of the relationship between this fixed-point group and the pair ((G) over tilde, Gamma), and consider any group G satisfying the axioms. If both (G) over tilde and G are k-quasisplit, then we can consider their duals (G) over tilde* and G*. We show the existence of and give an explicit formula for a natural map from the set of semisimple stable conjugacy classes in G* (k) to the analogous set for (G) over tilde* (k). If k is finite, then our groups are automatically quasisplit, and our result specializes to give a map of semisimple conjugacy classes. Since such classes parametrize packets of irreducible representations of G(k) and (G) over tilde (k), one obtains a mapping of such packets.

description: The design of functional seating furniture is a complicated process which often requires extensive manual design effort and empirical evaluation. We propose a computational design framework for pose-driven automated generation of body-supports which are optimized for comfort of sitting. Given a human body in a specified pose as input, our method computes an approximate pressure distribution that also takes frictional forces and body torques into consideration which serves as an objective measure of comfort. Utilizing this information to find out where the body needs to be supported in order to maintain comfort of sitting, our algorithm can create a supporting mesh suited for a person in that specific pose. This is done in an automated fitting process, using a template model capable of supporting a large variety of sitting poses. The results can be used directly or can be considered as a starting point for further interactive design.

description: Suppose that (G) over tilde is a connected reductive group defined over a field k, and Gamma is a finite group acting via k-automorphisms of (G) over tilde satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the identity component of the group of Gamma-fixed points in (G) over tilde is reductive. We axiomatize the main features of the relationship between this fixed-point group and the pair ((G) over tilde, Gamma), and consider any group G satisfying the axioms. If both (G) over tilde and G are k-quasisplit, then we can consider their duals (G) over tilde* and G*. We show the existence of and give an explicit formula for a natural map from the set of semisimple stable conjugacy classes in G* (k) to the analogous set for (G) over tilde* (k). If k is finite, then our groups are automatically quasisplit, and our result specializes to give a map of semisimple conjugacy classes. Since such classes parametrize packets of irreducible representations of G(k) and (G) over tilde (k), one obtains a mapping of such packets.

description: A third post-Newtonian (3 PN) equation of motion for two spherical compact stars in a harmonic coordinate has been derived based on the surface integral approach and the strong field point particle limit. The strong field point particle limit enables us to incorporate a notion of a self-gravitating regular star into general relativity. The resulting 3 PN equation of motion is Lorentz invariant, unambiguous, and conserves an energy of the binary orbital motion.

description: In the analysis of coordinated network attacks on electric power cyber-physical system (CPS), it is difficult to restore the complete attack path, and the intent of the attack cannot be identified automatically. A method is therefore proposed for the extracting patterns of coordinated network attacks on electric power CPS based on temporal-topological correlation. First, the attack events are aggregated according to the alarm log of the cyber space, and a temporal-causal Bayesian network-based cyber attack recognition algorithm is proposed to parse out the cyber attack sequences of the same attacker. Then, according to the characteristic curves of different attack measurement data in physical space, a combination of physical attack event criteria algorithm is designed to distinguish the types of physical attack events. Finally, physical attack events and cyber attack sequences are matched via temporal-topological correlation, frequent patterns of attack sequences are extracted, and hidden multi-step attack patterns are found from scattered grid measurement data and information from alarm logs. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method are verified by the testbed at Mississippi State University.

title: Patterns of Foraminiferal Micro-evolution and Enviromental Change in the Lower Chalk
Creators: name: Johnston, Russell
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: The research tests Sheldon's Plus ҫa change model by tracking a single fossil lineage through a succession of marine environments showing geological-scale differences in background stability. Orbitally driven cyclic sediments of Cenomanian age, predominantly recording a 20 kyr precessional shift, provide both the time-frame and the main engine of environmental variability, although transgressive pulses and other events are also superimposed. The cyclicity provides spectacular geographical and temporal control,, allowing a million-year sequence to be sampled at 100 kyr intervals at three laterally adjacent sites, and partially sampled at 20 kyr and 2 kyr intervals at one of these sites. The lineage of interest is a benthic agglutinated foraminiferan, Tritaxia pyramidata, which occurs in prolific numbers; additional ecological evidence comes from a large microfossil database recovered from the same samples.

The Lower Chalk benthic microfauna have very stable patterns of relative abundance, with the same species occurring in similar proportions for at least a million years. Analysis of Tritaxia's ecology identifies it as an r-selected generalist playing a keystone role in the community. During development, Tritaxia exhibits a persistent tendency to uncoil, but this tendency is strongly manifest only after average life expectancy, leading to its interpretation as a construction mistake rather than a product of design. This developmental quirk sheds light on the grain and texture of the morphospace through which Tritaxia is forced to navigate, significantly limiting its evolutionary potential. The result is a lineage that achieves a million years' worth of wobbly stasis, largely because it is boxed into a small corner of morphospace by the joint influence of a narrow developmental channel and competitive interference from other species.

The dynamics, of this process predominantly support the Plus ҫa change model, even though not all the predicted patterns are found.

description: This article presents a study of the passage of dimuonium through the foil of ordinary matter. First, we provide an overview of how dimuonium is planned to be produced for such a type of experiment and how it is expected to interact with the ordinary atoms -- predominantly electromagnetically via the screened coulomb potential of the atomic nuclei. Then, we describe the transport equations that represent the evolution of dimuonium states during the passage and their solution methods. Finally, for three different foils (Beryllium, Aluminium and Lead), we present the results of this study. To estimate impact of uncertainties in the potential of a target atom, we study 15 different approximations of the atomic potential and show that the corresponding atomic-potential-model-dependent error in the yields of the low lying states of dimuonium is quite small within the framework of the applied Born approximation. The convergence of the results after truncation of the infinite system of transport equations to the finite number of quantum states of dimuonium is also studied, and good convergence for the yields of low-lying states is demonstrated.

description: We demonstrate that Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman (AAV) weak values have a direct relationship with the response function of a system, and have a much wider range of applicability in both the classical and quantum domains than previously thought. Using this idea, we have built an optical system, based on a birefringent photonic crystal, with an infinite number of weak values. In this system, the propagation speed of a polarized light pulse displays both superluminal and slow light behavior with a sharp transition between the two regimes. We show that this system's response possesses two-dimensional, vortex-antivortex phase singularities. Important consequences for optical signal processing are discussed.

Wavelet-based Edge Multiscale Parareal Algorithm for Parabolic Equations with Heterogeneous Coefficients

description: We propose in this paper the Wavelet-based Edge Multiscale Parareal (WEMP) Algorithm to efficiently solve parabolic equations with heterogeneous coefficients. This algorithm combines the advantages of multiscale methods that can deal with heterogeneity in the spacial domain effectively, and the strength of parareal algorithms for speeding up time evolution problems when sufficient processors are available. We derive the convergence rate of this algorithm in terms of the mesh size in the spatial domain, the level parameter used in the multiscale method, the coarse-scale time step and the fine-scale time step. Several numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the performance of our algorithm, which verify our theoretical results perfectly.

description: I propose the multi-mode squeezed thermal state based on the multi-mode pure entangled state. The correlation matrix of the state is characterized by two parameters. I then analysis the separable condition for this state, and calculating the relative entropy of the state with respect to the same kind of fully separable state in order to provide an upper bound of the relative entropy of entanglement. The bound is compared with the other bounds which were obtained with reduced state.

title: Surface Characterisation of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma-Modified and -Coated Polymers
Creators: name: O'Hare, Lesley-Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Atmospheric pressure plasma liquid deposition- APPLD, combines atmospheric pressure plasma with injection of atomised liquid from the delivery nozzle directly into the plasma. As such, the liquid within each droplet is protected from the plasma, and is carried intact to the surface, where it spreads and polymerises to form a conformal, high-value functional coating, which retains the properties of the original precursor molecule.

The relationship between the chemistry of surfaces modified or deposited using this technique and the plasma deposition parameters has been investigated using a complementary suite of surface analytical techniques: contact angle analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy.

It has been shown that atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) can lead to the same level of oxidation as corona discharge. The APP has been shown to be less damaging to the substrate, and leads to a reduction in the formation of low molecular weight oxidised materials, despite the use of higher energy densities.

A new methodology for curve-fitting of the XPS Si 2p and C 1s core levels of siloxane materials has been developed using siloxane standards. This method has been expanded to be used on siloxane coatings thinner than the depth of analysis of XPS. This enabled the chemistry of the coatings to be determined without the influence of the substrate.

The chemistry of siloxane coatings deposited on poly(ethylene terephthalate) film have been related to the plasma parameters utilised during deposition. Up to 95% polymeric siloxane [(CH3)3SiO1/2 and (CH3)2SiO2/2] have been retained for deposition of poly(dimethylsiloxane) precursor. The use of a poly(hydrogenmethylsiloxane) precursor led to a more oxidised coating, with up to 25% siloxane in (CH3)SiO3/2 environment. The trends in deposition rate for PDMS and PHMS were also found to be different.

Siloxane coatings durable to immersion in boiling water for 30 minutes have been achieved by plasma treatment of the substrate prior to deposition, and by plasma treatment of the coating following deposition. It is believed that improved grafting and enhanced crosslinking, respectively are the mechanisms behind this performance improvement.
