description: This document reports on the design of the evaluation procedure of the VITALISE Open Calls for Transnational Access (TA), all the data about the received and the accepted proposals through the 3 Open Calls, and the design of the application procedure for Virtual Access (VA). 

In the first part of the deliverable, the whole design of the evaluation procedure of the 3 Open Calls for Transnational Access is presented in great detail. The defined evaluation procedure consisted of 3 evaluation steps: • Eligibility evaluation and assessment of the priority criteria; • Feasibility evaluation; • Scientific evaluation. 

Evaluation criteria and templates have been defined for each stage and attached in appendix. 

The following section describes the Calls for External Research Proposal Evaluators launched between M11-M12 (Feb-Mar ‘22), before the opening of the 1st Open Call, and at M24 (Mar ‘23) to enlarge the external evaluators’ pool ahead of the 3rd Open Call. Some statistics related to the selected External Evaluators are illustrated. 

The document proceeds with a description of how the 3 Open Calls for Transnational Access were effectively implemented between M12 and M28 of the project (Mar ’22 – Jul ‘23), with detailed information about each application submitted. Particular attention is dedicated to illustrate the mitigation strategies that have been designed and implemented in close collaboration with WP13 and with all the Consortium to improve the attractiveness of the Open Calls. Next, the most relevant statistics pertaining to accepted project proposals and selected researchers are shown. Following the conclusion of the three calls, a collective total of 58 proposals were submitted. Remarkably, 54 of these submissions successfully met the criteria and were approved, surpassing the initial goal and resulting in the recruitment of a total of 113 researchers. This allowed us to successfully reach the KPI1.1, targeting >100 researchers recruited. Such result demonstrated the successful application of mitigation strategies throughout the 3 Open Calls tailored to maximise the number of applications, and, in turn, the number of recruited researchers. 

Afterwards, the following sections detail the Transnational Access management and monitoring activities that have been defined at M24 (Mar ‘23) to properly report the activities and costs related to each TA project. 

Finally, the document briefly explains how the application procedure for Virtual Access on the VITALISE Discovery Portal was designed, referring to D11.1 Material for Open Calls for all the information about the effectively implementation of the procedure.

subject: FOS: Political science

description: Mountainous Karabakh is a regional conflict in the recent territory of Azerbaijan with the population of ethnic Armenians. It is a part of historical Karabakh and the reason why it had given autonomy, was to underline an ethnic factor of its population. All member states of the United Nations, beside Armenia, recognize Mountainous Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory with ethnic Armenian population. Mountainous Karabakh is a disputed territory between Azerbaijan and Armenia and both sides have their claims on this territory. Historical sources about Mountainous Karabakh are various and confusing. In 14th century, Safavid Empire gave autonomy-like status to Mountainous Karabakh and this status was retained during the next four centuries. Until 1991, Mountainous Karabakh was a little isolated region with aoutonomous oblast status within the Azerbaijan SSR. In 1992, Mountainous Karabakh declared itself as independent republic, which resulted in armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh is a clash of political ambitions. Positions of parties still exclude each other.The scientific research ‘Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh’ is based on the qualitative research method and analyzes primary and secondary documents. It includes: introduction, main part, major research, conclusion and bibliography. Major research represents reasons of the conflict and the security dilemma: geographical factor, ethnographic factor, nationalism, Russia, ethnic affinity problem, different historical sources and economic factor. The last part of this work involves recommendations for the conflict resolution.

title: Governance and public services: trustees' experiences of the changing role and responsibilities of the voluntary sector
Creators: name: Metcalf, Lindsey
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: Social policy developments during the past three decades have profoundly changed the way in which welfare services are provided, by substantially increasing the role of voluntary organisations in the delivery of ‘contracted out’ public services in a ‘mixed economy’ of welfare. Policies implemented by successive Conservative, New Labour and Coalition governments during this period have promoted a key role for the voluntary sector as providers of public services in a range of areas including social care, health, housing, education and criminal justice (Griffiths, 1988; HM Government, 1990; Cabinet Office, 2006; Department of Health, 2010b; HM Government, 2010a). Such policies to shift responsibility for public service delivery onto the voluntary sector raise significant implications for voluntary organisations and the volunteer charity trustees charged with their leadership and governance. Although offering opportunities for some voluntary organisations, the public services contracting environment also presents a number of challenges for the voluntary sector. These include questions about the extent to which charities can maintain their independence, financial insecurity arising from short-term contracts, and the ability of organisations to remain focused on their charitable objectives and principles. Furthermore, complex and lengthy bidding processes and onerous monitoring and reporting obligations place a disproportionate burden on smaller charities with fewer staff and resources. This thesis analyses such social policy developments that are facilitating an increasing and diversifying role for the voluntary sector in welfare delivery, and assesses their impacts on volunteer charity trustees. It draws upon primary empirical research to elicit the experiences and perceptions of trustees occupying roles on the boards of local charities within this radically shifting policy environment. In total, 46 qualitative interviews were conducted: 25 with trustees of local voluntary sector organisations, 10 with Chief Executives (or equivalent) of local voluntary sector organisations, and 11 with representatives of influential ‘policy community’ organisations at both national and local levels. The thesis identifies the multiple and complex ways in which the changing policy landscape impacts upon voluntary organisations and, in turn, their trustees. It reveals significant ambiguity in how the trustee role is defined and perceived; varying levels of confidence among trustees about their ability to meet their responsibilities; and inconsistency in the training and support available to them in fulfilling their roles. The thesis offers a significant contribution to knowledge about the experiences of trustees responsible for governing and steering charities through the complex challenges arising from contemporary social policies.

description: Effective gravitational field equations on a brane have been derived, when the bulk spacetime is endowed with the second rank antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond field. Since both the graviton and the Kalb-Ramond field are closed string excitations, they can propagate in the bulk. After deriving the effective gravitational field equations on the brane, we solve them for a static spherically symmetric solution. It turns out that the solution so obtained represents a black hole or naked singularity depending on the parameter space of the model. The stability of this model is also discussed. Cosmological solutions to the gravitational field equations have been obtained, where the Kalb-Ramond field is found to behave as normal pressure free matter. For certain specific choices of the parameters in the cosmological solution, the solution exhibits a transition in the behaviour of the scale factor and hence a transition in the expansion history of the universe. The possibility of accelerated expansion of the universe in this scenario is also discussed.

description: For an accurate treatment of the shock wave propagation in high-energy astrophysical phenomena, such as supernova shock breakouts, gamma-ray bursts and accretion disks, knowledge of radiative transfer plays a crucial role. In this paper we consider one-dimensional (1D) special relativistic radiation hydrodynamics by solving the Boltzmann equation for radiative transfer. The structure of a radiative shock is calculated for a number of shock tube problems, including strong shock waves, and relativistic- and radiation-dominated cases. Calculations are performed using an iterative technique that consistently solves the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics and relativistic comoving radiative transfer. A comparison of radiative transfer solutions with the Eddington approximation and the M1 closure is made. A qualitative analysis of moment equations for radiation is performed and the conditions for the existence of jump discontinuity for non-relativistic cases are investigated numerically.

title: Exploring new avenues in c-c coupling: broadening application of the Heck reaction via in-situ formation of olefins
Creators: name: Colbon, Paul
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: Since its discovery, the Heck reaction has received great attention from academic research. As a result, many advances have been made, making the Heck reaction one of the most widely adopted methods for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds in modern organic chemistry. Chapter 1 presents a brief history of the Heck reaction, from its initial discovery to current day applications. This is followed by a brief overview of the different classes of cross-coupling reactions catalysed by palladium. Chapter 2 describes the synthesis of alkyl aryl ketones from aryl chlorides and aldehydes by the development of a novel Heck-type acylation reaction. The aldehyde first condenses with pyrrolidine to form an enamine intermediate, which acts as an electron-rich olefin and undergoes a regioselective Heck coupling with the aryl chloride. Additional experiments such as in-situ¬ IR spectroscopy were carried out in order to probe the reaction mechanism. Chapter 3 is an extension of Chapter 2. The scope of the newly developed acylation reaction is extended beyond commercially available aliphatic aldehydes. The palladium catalysed Heck arylation-isomerisation reaction of aryl bromides and allyl alcohol leads to the generation of aldehydes which, by intervention of pyrrolidine and the same palladium catalyst, undergo the acylation reaction with a second aryl bromide. This leads to the one-pot synthesis of functionalised dihydrochalcones from readily available starting materials. Chapter 4 presents the development of a second one-pot methodology, based on the same principle of design, whereby the reactive C=C double bond is generated in situ. A Keggin-type heteropolyacid is employed to catalyse the¬ formation of styrenes from secondary aryl alcohols which, following addition of palladium, base and an aryl bromide, undergo regioselective Heck arylation. Interesting stilbene products are obtained in good to excellent yields.

description: In this paper we obtain an approximation for the multivariate Laplace's integral with a large parameter and estimate error term for two cases, when the maximum of the exponent is in the interior of the domain and on the boundary. We are specifically interested in the situation when the function in the exponent depends on the large parameter. As an application we prove weak law of large numbers and central limit theorem. The second result gives different limiting distributions for two cases mentioned above. When the maximum of the exponent is in the interior of the domain it is Normal distribution and if it is on the boundary, it is Exponential in one direction of integration and Normal in other directions.

description: Previous studies have shown that cognitive demands and physical exercise stimulate adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus and hippocampus. Recent observations in healthy humans and patients with mild cognitive impairment moreover suggest that training‐induced increases in hippocampal volume may be associated with improved memory performance. The corresponding plasticity processes in hippocampal volume may occur on timescales of months to years. For patients with focal lesions in this region, previous functional imaging studies suggest that increased recruitment of the contralateral hippocampus and extratemporal regions may be an important part of the reorganization of episodic memory. However, it is currently unclear whether focal damage to the medial temporal lobe (MTL) induces gray matter (GM) volume changes in the intact contralateral hippocampus and in connected network regions on a shorter timescale. We therefore investigated whether unilateral resection of the MTL, including the hippocampus, induces measurable volumetric changes in the contralateral hippocampus and in the default mode network (DMN). We recruited 31 patients with unilateral left (N = 19) or right (N = 12) hippocampal sclerosis undergoing MTL resection for treatment of drug‐resistant epilepsy. Structural MRI was acquired immediately before and 3 months after surgery. Longitudinal voxel‐based morphometry (VBM) analysis revealed a significant increase of right hippocampal volume following resection of the left anterior MTL. Furthermore, this patient group showed GM volume increases in the DMN. These results demonstrate significant structural plasticity of the contralateral hippocampus, even in patients with a long‐standing unilateral hippocampal dysfunction and structural reorganization processes extending to distant, but functionally connected brain regions.

Non-local effect of a varying in space Zeeman field on the supercurrent and helix state in a spin-orbit-coupled s-wave superconductor

description: A weak parallel Zeeman field combined with the spin-orbit coupling can induce the supercurrent in an s-wave two-dimensional superconductor. At the same time, the thermodynamically equilibrium state of such a system is characterized by the helix phase where the order parameter varies in space as $\exp(i\mathbf{Qr})$. In this state the electric current that is induced by the Zeeman interaction is exactly counterbalanced by the current produced by the gradient of the order-parameter. We studied the interplay of the helix state and magnetoelectric current in the case of a varying in space Zeeman field, as it might be realized in hybrid heterostructures with magnetic and superconducting layers. The theoretical analysis was based on Usadel equations for Green functions in a dirty superconductor. It is shown that even a weak inhomogeneity produces a strong long-range effect on the magnetoelectric current and the order-parameter phase. Consequently, depending on the macroscopic shape of such an inhomogeneity, either the helix state with the zero supercurrent, or a locally uniform state with the finite supercurrent are realized. A mixture of these two extreme situations is also possible. It is also shown that the current can be induced at a large distance from a ferromagnetic island embedded into a superconductor. Quantum effects associated with the magnetoelectric effect are briefly discussed for multiply connected systems. The theory proposes a new point of view on interplay of the magnetoelectric effect and helix phase in spin-orbit coupled superconductors. It also suggests an interesting method allowing to couple superconducting and magnetic circuits.

einen immensen Einfluss auf deren Entwicklungsverlauf. Diese Thematik wird in
der vorliegenden Arbeit: "Die psychische Gesundheit von Jugendlichen im Kontext der schweizerischen
Asylpolitik" von Mischael Bratch und Leonie Tophinke aufgegriffen. Ausgehend von der Fragestellung,
welche Integrationsmassnahmen Jugendliche mit Fluchterfahrung als wichtig erachten in Bezug auf ihr
psychisches Wohlbefinden, werden Handlungsempfehlungen für die Offene Kinder- und Jugendarbeit
(OKJA) in der Schweiz abgeleitet. Es wurden 6 qualitative Leitfadeninterviews mit geflüchteten Jugendlichen
durchgeführt, welche rückblickend über die ersten drei Jahre nach der Ankunft in der
Schweiz berichteten. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass die Mehrheit der Befragten von Symptomen psychischer
Erkrankungen berichtete, die sowohl auf die Flucht als auch auf die belastenden Faktoren in
der Schweiz zurückzuführen sind. Als Ursachen dafür wurden unteranderem die Isolation sowie der
fehlende Zugang zu Informationen und Unterstützungsangeboten genannt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die
Anforderungen der Kinderrechtskonvention unzureichend berücksichtigt werden. Die OKJA könnte einen
wichtigen Beitrag für die Verbesserung dieser Situation im non-formalen und informellen Bereich
leisten. Die Schlussfolgerungen zeigen auf, dass die OKJA über die Legitimationsgrundlage verfügt,
um anhand ihres Auftrages und ihrer Stärken zu vernetzen, zu vermitteln, zu sensibilisieren, Zugang zu
schaffen und Brücken zu bauen.

title: Synthesis and simulation of porous organic cages
Creators: name: Jiang, Shan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: The design of porous organic molecules in the solid state where packing is dictated by weak van der Waals forces is attracting considerable attention. Most organic molecules pack in such a way to minimize free volume, which suggests molecules with permanent porosity in the solid state is rare. In this thesis, an experimental and molecular modeling study of porous organic cages is presented. These porous cage molecules are of interest for a wide range of applications in gas storage, separation and molecular recognition. Compared with other classes of porous materials such as porous frameworks or porous polymers, porous organic molecules possess potential advantages in solubility, molecular mobility and synthetic diversity. A series of tetrahedral imine linked cage molecules can be synthesized by [4+6] cycloimination condensation reaction. The crystalline packing motifs of them can be directed by the vertex functionality giving control over the pore connectivity. The synthesis and characterization of one such cage molecule (CC2) is introduced in Chapter 2. The packing of the CC2 molecules is frustrated by six vertex methyl groups, leading to 1D extrinsic pore channels and isolated intrinsic voids. CC2 adsorbs a number of gases such as N2, H2, CO2 and CH4. The H2 adsorption capacity of this material exceeds reports for other porous organic molecules. In addition, a ‘propeller’ shaped crystalline porous organic cage molecule, CC6, is prepared by [2+3] cycloimination reaction (Chapter 3). The cage molecule has a compact structure with a little void inside the cage. A narrow 1D channel is formed by molecular ineffective packing. The material demonstrates selective adsorption of H2 and CO2 over N2. We have found these cage molecules can inefficiently pack, creating permanent porosity in the amorphous solid state. These scrambled cage molecules are synthesized by either dynamic exchange reactions or co-reactions (Chapter 5). They show a high level of porosity and H2/N2 gas selectivity can be tuned by varying the cage functionality. The BET surface area of up to 898 m2 g-1 exceeds comparable amorphous molecular solids. A methodology is designed to generate amorphous cage structural models and gas diffusion simulations are also performed for these materials in Chapter 6. The simulations provide detailed information of the microscopic structures in these amorphous materials, including gas hopping, accumulative cage occupancy by gas molecules, residential times, and diffusion pathways, which cannot be achieved by experimental techniques.

description: La tesi analizza il progetto europeo "Libraries of emotion" che ha coinvolto quattro biblioteche di Polonia, Lituania, Slovenia e Belgio e le associazioni Public Library 2030 e Love for livres. Questo progetto si basa sull'idea che le persone compino le proprie scelte in base alle emozioni e agli stati d'animo in cui si trovano e che lo stesso concetto possa essere applicato alla biblioteca. Sono stati, quindi, raggruppati i libri in base all'emozione che trasmettono; le emozioni scelte sono sei: gioia, tristezza, amore, rabbia, sorpresa e paura. Inoltre, è stato creato un sito interamente dedicato a questo approccio che si configura come un catalogo tradizionale trasformato però in ottica emotiva. Gli obiettivi del progetto sono di aiutare le biblioteche nell'integrazione degli strumenti digitali alle loro funzioni tradizionali e di attirare sempre nuovi utenti. Altro core di questa iniziativa sono le sessioni di biblioterapia. L'obiettivo di questa tesi è, però, di verificare se un progetto di questo tipo sia applicabile anche in una biblioteca italiana. Ho quindi deciso di sperimentare l'approccio emotivo nella Biblioteca civica "Pio Rajna" di Sondrio dove lavoro. Ho, quindi, selezionato ed esposto i libri suddivisi per emozione. Il progetto ha riscosso molto successo, infatti, sono stati prestati molti libri, soprattutto quelli riguardanti gioia e paura, e gli utenti hanno dimostrato il loro entusiasmo per l'iniziativa. Infine, ho ipotizzato una sua realizzazione in digitale, integrando la "Biblioteca delle emozioni" al catalogo tradizionale.
title: Modelling and control of power inverters in microgrids
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiaotian
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: Power electronic converter systems play an important role in the interconnection of renewable energy sources in microgrids and utility grid. The interface between energy sources and microgrids is usually implemented by digitally controlled power inverters. This thesis provides a discrete modelling and design method for the digitally controlled inverters in microgrids. The fundamentals and background of digital control of power inverters are introduced. The small-signal models for digital pulse-width-modulations (PWMs) with delay effects are derived. Based on the models, the controllers can be designed using several methods according to the block diagrams. The simulation software and experimental environment for the digitally controlled inverters are described. For inverters operating in parallel, a linear voltage control scheme with duty-ratio feedforward is proposed. The control parameters are chosen according to the stable operating condition derived in z-domain. The closed-loop transfer function and output impedance for both the classical controller and the proposed controller are derived theoretically. A comparison reveals the advantages of the proposed control scheme: a unity closed-loop gain, no phase shift, good current sharing and low total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage. The theoretical results are verified by the experimental setup of a system with two digitally controlled inverters connected in parallel. For digitally controlled grid-connected inverters with LCL filters, new small-signal z-domain models are deduced. The proposed methods model the inverters including different delay effects under most possible circumstances, which allows a direct design for controllers in z-domain. The stability boundaries obtained from the root loci of the classic models and the proposed models are compared to the simulation results, showing that the proposed z-domain models are more accurate in predicting instabilities. Experimental results are presented, showing the proposed models are also capable of predicting the values of control variables at the true sampling instants. The phase-shifted modulated multisampled multilevel inverter is studied. The filter current ripple frequency of the multilevel inverters is increased by the phase-shifted PWM. The small-signal z-domain model is derived. Compared to the bipolar switched inverter, the multisampled multilevel inverter is characterized by the capability of achieving higher feedback control gains, which improves the control performance. An experimental prototype based on a 10 kHz switching frequency, 80 kHz sampling frequency five-level single-phase H bridge inverter is tested to demonstrate the validity of the analysis.

title: Translational developments in the study of sepsis: investigations into molecular pathways, experimental modelling and applications of novel biomarkers
Creators: name: McCarron, Eamon
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: Sepsis is a significant problem in the United Kingdom with diagnosis, management and prognosis proving difficult for clinicians. This is further exacerbated by the lack of sensitive and specific biomarkers for the disease and complications related with it (i.e. organ dysfunction). The lack of biomarkers and efficacious therapeutic intervention is a result of inadequate understanding of this disconnect between murine and human sepsis on a molecular level and in vivo. In this analysis, comparison of molecular signalling pathways involved in inflammation has revealed a possible source for this disconnect. Comparative analysis of two well characterised murine models of sepsis (LPS and faecal peritoneal inoculation) has further demonstrated that the difficulty in recapitulating a similar environment of human sepsis in rodents widens the gap that the translational bridge must cross. Both models showed a similar level of change consistent with an acute systemic inflammatory response, but discrete differences show the superiority of the faecal inoculation as a reproducible, valid and more reliable model of murine sepsis. HMGB1 and cleaved/uncleaved CK18 have been shown to be accurate ways of monitoring the level of inflammation, necrosis and apoptosis in the literature. Their application to defined groups of ICU patients, who could potentially benefit from them, has shown that there is potential for a clinical application. Their use alongside currently used markers of liver function could enhance the overall picture that clinicians have when approaching these patients. However, further research is needed involving larger sample sizes and more scrupulous statically analysis before widespread application can occur.

title: QconCAT method development and applications in proteomics
Creators: name: Harman, Victoria
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: Quantitative data is an excellent resource in any proteomics study but is essential in many. In recent years this area has expanded from relative to absolute quantification with a wide range of methods available for absolute quantitative proteomics. In general protein quantification is based on either label-mediated or label-free strategies. Common label-mediated approaches are isotope dilution strategies, such as AQUA, coupled with mass spectrometry, where analyte signal is compared to a stable isotope labelled standard added in known abundance. These methods are suited to small-scale studies but increasing demand for large-scale proteome quantification exposed the need for alternative quantification methodologies. The QconCAT technology, first published in 2005, is a label mediated approach which utilises the principle of surrogacy to quantify analyte proteins based on a signature peptide, or peptides, for each protein. QconCATs are concatenations of quantotypic peptides for a group of proteins, the QconCAT gene is designed in silico and expressed heterologously in E.coli with [13C6]arg and [13C6]lys to elicit a stable isotope labelled multiplexed absolute quantification standard. In this thesis I describe several developments to the QconCAT production protocol. These developments reduce the production time from ~19d, using the initial method, to less than 7d. Time gains have been made across the whole workflow in the areas of protein expression, cell lysis, and product purification. Moreover verification of the QconCAT is delayed until the final product is synthesised, made possible by evidence of high quality reproducible expression. I explain how these alterations allow for production of several QconCATs in parallel, giving added efficiency. The success of the method is demonstrated through the use of multiple QconCATs. As a result of this work it is now possible to make at least eight QconCATs per week and the rate-limiting step of the quantification workflow has migrated from standard preparation to data processing. The final study in this thesis discusses methods for accurate quantification of the QconCAT protein and additional applications of QconCATs for testing mass spectrometer performance.

description: The existence of quantum correlations that allow one party to steer the quantum state of another party is a counterintuitive quantum effect that has been described already at the beginning of the past century. Steering occurs if entanglement can be proven although the description of the measurements on one party is not known, while the other side is characterized. We introduce the concept of steering maps that allow to unlock the sophisticated techniques developed in regular entanglement detection to be used for certifying steerability. As an application we show that this allows to go even beyond the canonical steering scenario, enabling a generalized dimension-bounded steering where one only assumes the Hilbert space dimension on the characterized side, but no description of the measurements. Surprisingly this does not weaken the detection strength of very symmetric scenarios that have recently been carried out in experiments.

Note INFN

description: L’obiettivo di questo documento è descrivere il lavoro che è stato fatto per dotare il sistema di Gestione delle Presenze del giustificativo “Lavoro Agile”. Il lavoro è iniziato con l’analisi delle specifiche a metà novembre 2019 e una prima installazione del giustificativo è stata effettuata il 16/03/2020 in forma sperimentale e solo per un gruppo ristretto di strutture. L’estensione a tutte le strutture INFN è avvenuta il 15/05/2020. Da questa data in poi si sono succedute diverse installazioni per modifiche dei requisiti, introduzione di migliorie o soluzioni di bug. L’ultima installazione relativa a questo giustificativo è avvenuta il 24/03/2021. L’inserimento del “Lavoro Agile” nel sistema di Gestione delle Presenze ha assunto carattere di urgenza con lo scoppio della pandemia nel marzo 2020.

description: When two boundary-parabolic representations of knot groups are given, we introduce the connected sum of these representations and show several natural properties including the unique factorization property. Furthermore, the complex volume of the connected sum is the sum of each complex volumes modulo $iπ^2$ and the twisted Alexander polynomial of the connected sum is the product of each polynomials with normalization.

title: Multiparticle configurations in 155Lu (N = 84) and 158Ta (N = 85)
Creators: name: Carroll, Robert
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2012

description: Excited states in 155Lu and 158Ta have been populated in fusion evaporation reactions at the Accelerator Laboratory at the University of Jyvaskyla. Gamma-ray spectroscopy techniques have been employed, using both the Jurogam spectrometer at the target position and the GREAT spectrometer at the focal plane of the RITU separator, and level schemes have been constructed. Gamma-ray spectroscopy performed on 155Lu has revealed new structures at high spin and has confirmed spin isomerism as the mechanism by which the decay of the 155m2Lu(25/2-) state is hindered. The previous level scheme has been revised and compared with systematic trends across N = 84 isotones. Single-particle configurations have been assigned to low-lying states and mechanisms expected to construct structures at higher spin are discussed. Previously, no excited states in the doubly odd 158Ta nucleus were known above the two low-lying alpha-decaying states, which are proton unbound. For the first time, excited states built on the 158m1Ta(9^+) alpha-decaying state have been observed. Comparisons with N = 85 isotones are made and the interactions between nucleons in the pi h_{11/2}, nu h_{9/2} and nu f_{7/2} orbitals are discussed. A new isomeric state, which decays by both alpha-particle and gamma-ray emission, has been observed at high spin in 158Ta. No proton decay is observed from this state, despite a large proton Q-value. This hindrance to proton decay can be understood to be an effect of the centrifugal barrier at high spin. This introduces the possibility of other high-spin isomers existing beyond both the proton and neutron drip lines.
title: Spectroscopy of excited states in 252No

description: A spectroscopic study of excited states in $^{252}$No was carried out to gain experimental evidence of the energies, orderings and assignments for the single particle levels in the region around the deformed shell gaps at N = 152 and Z = 100. Some of these energy levels are of particular interest as they lie close to the Fermi surface in the spherical region around the predicted next magic numbers. The $^{252}$No nuclei were produced at the accelerator laboratory in Jyv\"{a}skyl\"{a}, Finland, using the fusion evaporation reaction $^{206}$Pb($^{48}$Ca,2n)$^{252}$No and separated with the RITU gas filled separator. The JUROGAM and GREAT detector arrays were used for in-beam and focal plane spectroscopy respectively, allowing the recoils to be identified using recoil-decay tagging techniques. The previously identified $K$$^\pi$ = 8$^-$ $K$ isomer was investigated, with in-beam $\gamma$-ray spectra of rotational band transitions above this state being observed for the first time and the level scheme up to $I$$^\pi$ = 19$^-$ (and up to 22$^-$ tentatively) being found. As the spectra produced were of low statistics, new approaches were required in their analysis to assign a single particle structural configuration to the excited state. Two methods are described which act to utilise the low statistics fully, the results of which provide strong indications that the 8$^-$\{$\frac{7}{2}$$^+$[624]$_{\nu}$$\otimes$$\frac{9}{2}$$^-$[734]$_{\nu}$\} configuration is responsible for the isomer. These results are also compared with other excited states in nuclei around the deformed shell gaps to build up a picture of regional systematics. Their bearing on the predictions for the next spherical shell closures is also discussed.
title: The development of electrical plasma diagnostics for HiPIMS discharges

description: High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) is a plasma-based thin film deposition technique in which extremely high power pulses are applied to a conventional magnetron sputtering source. As a result, the plasma density in HiPIMS discharges is considerably increased up to 1E19 per cubic metre, about three orders of magnitude higher than that in conventional direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) discharges. Hence the vapour of the sputtered species becomes highly ionised, leading to remarkable improvement in the microstructure and the properties of depositing films. To better control the deposition process, it is important to gain insights into the properties and the dynamics of the HiPIMS plasmas. This thesis is associated with the investigations on HiPIMS plasmas using a number of electrical diagnostic tools including a Langmuir probe, a retarding field energy analyser and a gridded quartz crystal microbalance. It was shown, using a Langmuir probe analysis, that there are three distinct groups of electrons generated during first the 4 microseconds of the HiPIMS pulse. These electrons are super-thermal or beam-like electrons with effective temperatures of up to 100 eV, hot electrons with temperatures up to 7 eV and cold electrons with temperatures

description: Single-photon states, which carry quantum information and coherently interact with quantum systems, are vital to the realization of all-optical engineered quantum networks. In this paper we derive the analytical form of the output field state for a large class of quantum finite-level systems driven by single-photon input field states using a transfer function approach. Single-photon pulse shaping via coherent feedback is also studied.
