title: Reducing Carbon while Retaining Heritage: retrofitting approaches for vernacular buildings and their residents
Creators: name: Wise, Freya Georgina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: Retrofitting the built environment is critical for mitigating devastating climate change. Operational energy from buildings is responsible for 27% of global carbon emissions. However, standard retrofitting approaches are often not appropriate for the 20-30% of UK homes with heritage value. This research examines the potential for realistic carbon reduction from these buildings while retaining their heritage values. The county of Cumbria was the overarching case for this research which involved a resident survey, 16 individual building-resident case studies with both quantitative and qualitative data, and lifecycle modelling of retrofit options. The study found that most residents of vernacular buildings, whether with official heritage designation or not, invest heritage values in their buildings and that these values affect the retrofits they consider acceptable and will therefore enact. Meanwhile, most residents already engage in energy conscious behaviour. In contrast to common assumptions, most residents find their buildings comfortable, emphasising excellent summer performance, although previous maladaptions can present challenges. The study further showed that standard modelling tools poorly reflect both vernacular buildings’ energy performance and residents’ behaviours and preferences, thus frequently recommending inappropriate alterations. When the embodied carbon of the retrofits was calculated alongside the operational savings it frequently influenced which measures had the lowest lifecycle carbon. There were also positive synergies between measures with low embodied carbon and those acceptable to residents’ heritage values; these measures tend to be non-invasive and less technical but are harder to model and quantify and therefore often overlooked. This research shows that we should acknowledge residents’ values and behaviours, consider residents and their buildings as interrelated and interdependent, and include the embodied impacts of retrofit, if we are to realistically make desperately needed carbon reductions from our buildings. This study has implications for retrofitting approaches and policies for vernacular buildings with applicability far beyond Cumbria.

description: Stars that are both pulsating and eclipsing offer an important opportunity to better understand many of the physical phenomena that occur in stars, because it is possible to measure the pulsation frequencies of stars for which the masses and radii are known precisely and accurately. KIC 9851944 is a double-lined detached eclipsing binary containing two F-stars which show both pressure and gravity mode pulsations. We present an analysis of new high-resolution spectroscopy of the system and high quality light curves from the Kepler and TESS space missions. We determine the masses and effective temperatures of the stars to 0.6% precision, and their radii to 1.0% and 1.5% precision. The secondary component is cooler, but larger and more massive than the primary so is more evolved; both lie inside the δ Scuti and γ Doradus instability strips. We measure a total of 133 significant pulsation frequencies in the light curve, including 14 multiplets that each contain between 3 and 19 frequencies. We find evidence for tidal perturbations to some of the p- and g-modes, attribute a subset of the frequencies to either the primary or secondary star, and measure a buoyancy radius and near-core rotational frequency for the primary component. KIC 9851944 is mildly metal-rich and MIST isochrones from the MESA evolutionary code agree well with the observed properties of the system for an age of 1.25 Gyr.

Health administrative data

description: There is limited data on mortality, health service use and costs following treatment of malignant pleural effusions (MPE) in the real-world setting. We performed a retrospective population-based study using health administrative data of adults with indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) insertion (n=4,574) or pleurodesis (n=1,235) for MPE between 2015 to 2019. Inverse probability of treatment weighting using the propensity score was performed to adjust for baseline characteristic imbalances. After weighting to balance on baseline characteristics, there was no significant difference in post-procedure mortality between individuals receiving IPCs and pleurodesis, with IPCs inserted significantly later after an initial cancer diagnosis. IPCs with home nursing drainage were associated with reduced subsequent health resource use and healthcare costs compared to pleurodesis. A protocol was developed for a future economic evaluation to compare the cost-effectiveness of the procedures. This thesis provides the foundation for further research to help optimize the treatment of individuals with MPEs.

description: This study is concerned with the relationship between the statistical parameters of rainfall intensity and peak runoff and the influence of basin and rainfall characteristics on the relationship. Laboratory watersheds are used under a rainfall generator to develop the characteristics of the equation transforming uniform rainfall intensity into peak runoff. The input (rainfall intensity) is then treated as a random series with known statistical parameters. Using the characteristics of the transformation process, the statistical parameters of the output (peak runoff) are calculated and compared with those of the input. The results indicate that the output has a probability distribution which is of a more general form that that of the input. The major factors influencing the input-output relationship are the average watershed slope, the bifurcation ratio of the basin and the duration of the rainfall. It has also been shown that the Pearson Type III distribution, the parameters of which are calculated from the input and basin characteristics, can accurately describe the output distribution for the experimentally simulated conditions.

description: Crowd studies have gained increasing relevance due to the recurring incidents of crowd crush accidents. In addressing the issue of the crowd's persistent dynamism, this paper explored the macroscopic and microscopic features of pedestrians crossing in static and dynamic contexts, employing a series of systematic experiments. Firstly, empirical evidence has confirmed the existence of crowd's persistent dynamism. Subsequently, the research delves into two aspects, qualitative and quantitative, to address the following questions:(1) Cross pedestrians tend to avoid high-density areas when crossing static crowds and particularly evade pedestrians in front to avoid deceleration, thus inducing the formation of cross-channels, a self-organization phenomenon.(2) In dynamic crowds, when pedestrian suffers spatial constrained, two patterns emerge: decelerate or detour. Research results indicate the differences in pedestrian crossing behaviors between static and dynamic crowds, such as the formation of crossing channels, backward detours, and spiral turning. However, the strategy of pedestrian crossing remains consistent: utilizing detours to overcome spatial constraints. Finally, the empirical results of this study address the final question: pedestrians detouring causes crowds' persistent collective dynamism. These findings contribute to an enhanced understanding of pedestrian dynamics in extreme conditions and provide empirical support for research on individual movement patterns and crowd behavior prediction.

description: The "Comment on: Detecting Vanishing Dimensions Via Primordial Gravitational Wave Astronomy" [arXiv:1104.1223] is misleading and premised on a misinterpretation of the main content of Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 101101 (2011) [arXiv:1102.3434]. The main claim in the comment - that in some exotic theories different from general relativity (GR) there might be local degrees of freedom even in lower dimensional spaces - is trivial. Nevertheless, the authors of the Comment fail to come-up with a single self-consistent example. This claim, however, has no implications for our paper, in which we make it clear we are working within the framework of "vanishing" or "evolving" dimensions as defined in arXiv:1003.5914.

description: In global geodesy co-location of geodetic space techniques are required for mutual control of the measurements. The ground-based active transmitters of the DORIS system are in conflict to VLBI-observations. The VLBI systems are designed to receive extremely faint
 cosmic signals down to -110 dBm , whereas the DORIS beacon emits signals at a frequency of 2,036 MHz with 40 dBm output power . There is a potential for coupling between DORIS emissions and the VLBI receiving chain generating spurious signals. The selection of possible sites for DORIS next to a VLBI radio telescope have been studied with pycraf. The study results coincide well with real measurements at the site of Wettzell. DORIS can´t be installed in the line of sight with a radio telescope.

The concept of free parafermions provides a natural N-state generalization of free fermions, which have long underpinned the exact solution and application of widely studied quantum spin chains and their classical counterparts. In particular, we discuss the Baxter-Fendley free parafermionic Z(N) spin chain, which is a relatively simple non-Hermitian generalization of the Ising model.

description: Faraday rotation of linearly polarized radio signals provides a very sensitive probe of fluctuations in the interstellar magnetic field and ionized gas density resulting from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We used a set of statistical tools to analyze images of the spatial gradient of linearly polarized radio emission ($|\nabla \textbf{P}|$) from the ISM for both observational data from a test image of the Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) and isothermal simulations of MHD turbulence. We compared the observational data with results of synthetic observations obtained with the simulations of 3D turbulence. Visually, in both data sets, a complex network of filamentary structures is seen. Our analysis shows that the filaments in the gradient can be produced by shocks as well as random fluctuations characterizing the non-differentiable field of MHD turbulence. The latter dominates for subsonic turbulence, while the former dominates for supersonic turbulence. In order to quantitatively characterize these differences we use the topology tool known as a genus curve as well as the moments of the image distribution. We find that higher values for the moments correspond to cases of $|\nabla \textbf{P}|$ with larger Mach numbers, but the strength of the dependency is connected to the telescope angular resolution. In regards to the topology, the supersonic filaments observed in $|\nabla \textbf{P}|$ have a positive genus shift, which indicates a "swisscheese" like topology, while the subsonic cases show a negative genus, indicating a "clump" like topology. In the case of the genus, the dependency on the telescope resolution is not as strong. The SGPS test region data has a distribution and morphology that matches subsonic to transsonic type turbulence, which independently confirms what is now expected for the WIM.

description: When the core hydrogen is exhausted during stellar evolution, the central region of a star contracts and the outer envelope expands and cools, giving rise to a red giant, in which convection occupies a large fraction of the star. Conservation of angular momentum requires that the cores of these stars rotate faster than their envelopes, and indirect evidence supports this. Information about the angular momentum distribution is inaccessible to direct observations, but it can be extracted from the effect of rotation on oscillation modes that probe the stellar interior. Here, we report the detection of non-rigid rotation in the interiors of red-giant stars by exploiting the rotational frequency splitting of recently detected mixed modes. We demonstrate an increasing rotation rate from the surface of the star to the stellar core. Comparing with theoretical stellar models, we conclude that the core must rotate at least ten times faster than the surface. This observational result confirms the theoretical prediction of a steep gradient in the rotation profile towards the deep stellar interior.

description: Der aus Essen stammende Peter Friedrich Schneider gehört zu denjenigen Bauschaffenden, die für eine ganzheitlich orientierte Haltung in der Architektur stehen. Trotz einer kurzzeitigen Wiederentdeckung des vor allem in Köln und im Ruhrgebiet wirkenden Architekten im Kontext des denkmalpflegerischen Interesses an der Architektur der 1950er Jahre, ist Schneider heute nahezu in Vergessenheit geraten. Schneider wurde maßgeblich durch Peter Behrens geprägt, bei dem er als Meisterschüler an der Wiener Akademie der bildenden Künste studierte. Ebenso einflussreich war der Essener Architekt Edmund Körner, in dessen Büro Schneider 1926 eintrat und dessen Mitarbeiter er bis 1940 blieb. Behrens und Körner einte, dass sie sich unter dem Primat des Künstlerischen bewusst vom reinen Funktionalismus der Avantgarden abgrenzten – eine Prägung, die sich auch in Schneiders eigenem Schaffen nach 1945 niederschlagen sollte und die sich in der „Idee des Gesamtkünstlerischen“ (Peter Behrens) verdichtete. Dieser Idee lag die Vorstellung zugrunde, die verschiedenen Künste unter dem Dach der Architektur (als „Mutter der Künste“) zusammenzuführen. Besonders deutlich manifestiert sich das Vorbild Behrens beim Kölner Funkhaus des NWDR (1948-52), wo Schneider dessen Gestaltungsprinzipien von Harmonie, Proportion und Ordnung anwandte. Durch die am Innenausbau beteiligten Kölner Werkschulen knüpfte er gleichzeitig an eine kunstgewerbliche Tradition an, durch die er ebenfalls über Behrens und Körner geprägt wurde. Traten im Laufe der 1950er Jahre auch neue Einflüsse hinzu – etwa die der skandinavischen Moderne, der „Braunschweiger Schule“ um F. W. Kraemer oder die der Architektur Richard Neutras –, so blieben Schneiders früh gewonnene Grundüberzeugungen durchweg bestehen. Das Primat des Künstlerischen über die reine Zweckerfüllung behielt für ihn Gültigkeit, seine Bauwerke versuchte er stets im Sinne einer Ganzheit durchzuformen. So oft wie möglich unter Einbindung der bildenden Künste. Außerhalb des Sakralbaus, wo das Künstlerische per se integraler Bestandteil der Bauaufgabe ist, durchaus nicht selbstverständlich. Ganz besonders nicht in Schneiders wichtigsten Tätigkeitsfeldern: den technik-affinen Bauaufgaben von Industrie, Rundfunk und Sport.

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presents a critical global health challenge, and early detection is crucial for improving the 5-year survival rate. Recent medical imaging and computational algorithm advances offer potential solutions for early diagnosis. Deep learning, particularly in the form of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has demonstrated success in medical image analysis tasks, including classification and segmentation. However, the limited availability of clinical data for training purposes continues to provide a significant obstacle. Data augmentation, generative adversarial networks (GANs), and cross-validation are potential techniques to address this limitation and improve model performance, but effective solutions are still rare for 3D PDAC, where contrast is especially poor owing to the high heterogeneity in both tumor and background tissues. In this study, we developed a new GAN-based model, named 3DGAUnet, for generating realistic 3D CT images of PDAC tumors and pancreatic tissue, which can generate the interslice connection data that the existing 2D CT image synthesis models lack. Our innovation is to develop a 3D U-Net architecture for the generator to improve shape and texture learning for PDAC tumors and pancreatic tissue. Our approach offers a promising path to tackle the urgent requirement for creative and synergistic methods to combat PDAC. The development of this GAN-based model has the potential to alleviate data scarcity issues, elevate the quality of synthesized data, and thereby facilitate the progression of deep learning models to enhance the accuracy and early detection of PDAC tumors, which could profoundly impact patient outcomes. Furthermore, this model has the potential to be adapted to other types of solid tumors, hence making significant contributions to the field of medical imaging in terms of image processing models.

description: The attenuation of longitudinal ultrasonic wave with the frequency of 30 MHz in Cu-Nb copper-niobium (40 vol%) composite system at low temperatures from 0.35 K up to 2 K is researched. It was found that the ultrasonic attenuation decreases in a Cu-Nb multi-filamentary composite sample at low temperatures in distinction to the pure Cu copper or Nb niobium homogeneous bulk samples. It is well known that the contact between the normal metal N and the superconductor S is characterized by an appearance of superconducting properties in the thin surface layer of normal metal N, because of the presence of proximity effect at low temperatures T. This phenomenon is observed on the temperature dependent distance ξ_N(T) in the normal metal N at the normal metal - superconductor NS boundary. It is assumed that the transition from the normal state N to the superconducting state S must be accompanied by the decrease of magnitude of ultrasonic wave's electronic energy absorption in normal metal N. The experimental results show that the superconducting electron coherence length in the normal thin layer is temperature dependent ξ_N(T). The electron mean free path l, which is dependent on the impurity scattering in volume and near Cu-Nb interfaces, was measured by the three independent methods at low temperatures. It is understood that the Andreev reflections are present in S-N-S structure, making some influence on the measured ultrasonic longitudinal wave attenuation in Cu-Nb composite samples at ultra low temperatures. The measured experimental results of ultrasonic longitudinal wave attenuation in Cu-Nb composite samples at low temperatures are in good agreement with the theoretical modeling data, obtained in case of dirty local limit.

description: We demonstrate the spontaneous formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of strongly-bound harmonically-trapped dipolar $^{164}$Dy atoms on the outer curved surface of an elliptical or a circular cylinder, with a distinct topology, employing the numerical solution of an improved mean-field model including a Lee-Huang-Yang-type interaction, meant to stop a collapse at high atom density, the axis of the cylindrical-shell-shaped BEC being aligned along the polarization direction of the dipolar atoms. These states are dynamically stable and a Gaussian initial state leads to the cylindrical-shell-shaped state in both imaginary-time and real-time propagation. The formation of the hollow cylindrical BEC by a real-time simulation starting from a solid cylindrical state demonstrate the possibility of the formation of such a condensate experimentally.

description: We consider the local F-theory set-up corresponding to four D7 branes in type I' theory, in which the exact axio-dilaton background tau(z) is identified with the low-energy effective coupling of the four-dimensional N=2 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) and Nf=4 flavours living on a probe D3 brane placed at position z. Recently, an intriguing relation has been found between the correlators forming the chiral ring of the eight-dimensional theory on the D7 branes and the large-z expansion of the tau profile. Here we apply to the SU(2), Nf=4 theory some recursion techniques that allow to derive the coefficients of the large-z expansion of tau in terms of modular functions of the UV coupling. In this way we obtain exact expressions for the elements of the eight-dimensional chiral ring that resum their instanton expansions, previously known only up to the first few orders by means of localization techniques.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of metal chelants, ethelyne diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and salicylic acid (SA), on the accumulation of lead and nickel by Indian mustard (Brassica juncea arawali) plants in contaminated soil. Plants were treated with Pb and Ni, each at concentrations of 800 mg/l. EDTA and SA were amended at 0.1 M and 1.0 mM respectively. Plants were harvested and oven-dried. Pb and Ni content were estimated using ICP-OES (Varian Vista-MPX CCD Simultaneous ICP-OES). The samples thus prepared were investigated for metals distribution and morphology in different tissues (root, stem and leaf) using energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) spectrometer attached to the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Metal distribution study in different tissues (root, stem, leaf) was done by SEM/EDS. The results showed that EDTA increased Pb and Ni uptake as compared to SA.

description: Ongoing research activities at TU Darmstadt aim at improving the energy efficiency of its Campus “Lichtwiese”. In accordance with the national climate protection goals, CO2 emissions shall be reduced by 80 percent until 2050 compared to the level of 1990. The district heating and cooling networks and the combined heat and power (CHP) generation play a key role in the university’s energy efficiency strategy. The following components for future development are represented in a thermal model of the campus: (1) The cooling supply is switched from compression to absorption chillers supplied with CHP heat, in order to increase the operating time of the CHP plants, especially in the summer. (2) Thermal energy storage along with a predictive control algorithm for the operation of the energy system is implemented to increase the flexibility of the energy supply. This approach also allows to increase the operating time of the CHP plants. (3) The district heating network temperatures, currently depending solely on ambient temperatures, can be reduced considering the heat supply temperature inside the buildings. Thereby, the efficiency of the heat distribution is increased and alternative heat sources can be integrated more easily in the future.

description: This study examines the roles of expedient and curated (or formal) artefacts for extracting information from the archaeological record. Using these concepts of technological organization, certain hypotheses concerning assemblage characteristics are examined. Glass sherds used as woodworking tools by North Americans of European descent provide the opportunity for addressing these concepts in an archaeological setting. Use-wear analyses of glass edges damaged through experiments are employed to identify patterns of damage associated with woodworking and a number of post-depositional activities which may alter glass sherds. The data resulting from these analyses are manipulated through a series of multivariate procedures in an effort to create a model for the identification of used glass sherds. This analytical process provides techniques and results which can be employed by other analysts. Collections of materials from four historic sites in Alberta are processed through this model to identify the used sherds. The relationships of these "tools" to formal artefact types are employed to address the theoretical relationships of artefacts to the human behaviour responsible for their creation and deposition.
Ultraluminous Star-Forming Galaxies and Extremely Luminous Warm Molecular Hydrogen Emission at z=2.16 in the PKS 1138-26 Radio Galaxy Protocluster

description: A deep Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph map of the PKS 1138-26 galaxy protocluster reveals ultraluminous PAH emission from obscured star formation in three protocluster galaxies, including Halpha-emitter (HAE) 229, HAE 131, and the central Spiderweb Galaxy. Star formation rates of 500-1100 Msun/yr are estimated from the 7.7 micron PAH feature. At such prodigious formation rates, the galaxy stellar masses will double in 0.6-1.1 Gyr. We are viewing the peak epoch of star formation for these protocluster galaxies. However, it appears that extinction of Halpha is much greater (factor of 40) in the two ULIRG HAEs compared to the Spiderweb. This may be attributed to different spatial distributions of star formation--nuclear star formation in the HAEs versus extended star formation in accreting satellite galaxies in the Spiderweb. We find extremely luminous mid-IR rotational line emission from warm molecular hydrogen in the Spiderweb Galaxy, with L(H2 0-0 S(3))= 1.4E44 erg/s (3.7E10 Lsun), 20 times more luminous than any previously known H2 emission galaxy (MOHEG). Depending on temperature, this corresponds to a very large mass of >9E6-2E9 Msun of T>300 K molecular gas, heated by the PKS 1138-26 radio jet, acting to quench nuclear star formation. There is >8 times more warm H2 at these temperatures in the Spiderweb than what has been seen in low-redshift (z<0.2) radio galaxies, indicating that the Spiderweb may have a larger reservoir of molecular gas than more evolved radio galaxies. This is the highest redshift galaxy yet in which warm molecular hydrogen has been directly detected.

description: The ISR (Intersecting Storage Rings) were two intersecting proton synchrotron rings each with a circumference of 942 m and eight-fold symmetry that were operational for 13 years from 1971 to 1984. The CERN PS injected 26 GeV/c proton beams into the two rings that could accelerate up to 31.4 GeV/c. The ISR worked for physics with beams of 30-40 A over 40-60 hours with luminosities in its superconducting low-β insertion of 1031-1032 cm-2 s-1. The ISR demonstrated the practicality of collider beam physics while catalysing a rapid advance in accelerator technologies and techniques.

description: Bewegungs- und Körpererfahrungen dienen in der frühen Kindheit nicht nur der Entwicklung im motorischen Bereich, sondern stellen den grundlegenden Zugang zur Welt und zu Bildungsprozessen dar. In der pädagogischen Praxis der Kindertagesbetreuung findet Bewegung als Medium des Lernens und der Entwicklungsförderung jedoch kaum Berücksichtigung und wird von den pädagogischen Fachkräften vornehmlich mit dem Erlernen der Lokomotion und der Ausbildung motorischer Grundfertigkeiten sowie mit Sport und Spiel konnotiert. Für mehr Bewegung in den Kitas sorgen bisher vor allem zeitliche begrenzte, primär motorisch orientierte Bewegungsprogramme, die über mehr Bewegung eine bessere motorische Leistungsfähigkeit ansteuern oder einzelne Bildungs- bzw. Kompetenzbereiche mit Bewegungsaktivitäten verbinden. Um das entwicklungsfördernde Potential von Bewegung vor allem für die Altersstufe der Ein- bis Dreijährigen zu nutzen, wurde mit dieser Arbeit ein Konzept entwickelt, welches durch Verbindung von bewegungsfördernder Raumgestaltung und pädagogischer Begleitung, Bewegung als Medium der Entwicklungsförderung nachhaltig im pädagogischen Alltag verstetigen soll. Es wurde evaluiert, inwiefern Raumgestaltung in Verbindung mit einer bewegungsorientierten pädagogisch-didaktische Gestaltung des Alltags Entwicklung und Lernen von Kindern im Krippenalter alltagsintegriert unterstützen kann.

description: Very old isolated neutron stars and white dwarfs have been suggested to be probes of dark matter. To play such a role, two requests should be fulfilled, i.e., the annihilation luminosity of the captured dark matter particles is above the thermal emission of the cooling compact objects (request-I) and also dominate over the energy output due to the accretion of normal matter onto the compact objects (request-II). Request-I calls for very dense dark matter medium and the critical density sensitively depends on the residual surface temperature of the very old compact objects. The accretion of interstellar/intracluster medium onto the compact objects is governed by the physical properties of the medium and by the magnetization and rotation of the stars and may outshine the signal of dark matter annihilation. Only in a few specific scenarios both requests are satisfied and the compact objects are dark matter burners. The observational challenges are discussed and a possible way to identify the dark matter burners is outlined.

description: The agronomic use of natural zeolite is widely supported by several works. However, almost all are focused on the application of the clinoptilolite as slow plant-nutrient fertilizer and soil conditioner. Our study describes the first comprehensive study on the effects of a Italian chabazite-bearing zeolitite (rocks containing more than 50% of zeolites) on a maize cultivation. The objective was to determine the effects of applying zeolitite on (i) Zea mays yield and quality, under two irrigation regimes and (ii) check if it can improve the efficiency of urea fertilization on a loamy soil in an open experimental field of Italy. The production and quality of the corn grown in the traditional way was compared with that of the plots treated with two different amounts of zeolitite (4 and 8 Kg/m2) and each treatment was monitored both in irrigated and not-irrigated conditions. The measurements of chlorophyll and those related to the morphological features of the plants show suffering conditions of the corn plants in not-irrigated conditions. Furthermore we show that the plants grown with zeolitite and fertilized with less urea have produced the same amounts of corn plants fertilized with traditional contents of urea.

description: We demonstrate waveguide-coupled titanium dioxide (TiO2) racetrack resonators with loaded quality factors of 2x10^4 for the visible wavelengths. The structures were fabricated in sputtered TiO2 thin films on oxidized silicon substrates using standard top-down nanofabrication techniques, and passively probed in transmission measurements using a tunable red laser. Devices based on this material could serve as integrated optical elements as well as passive platforms for coupling to visible quantum emitters.

description: In 1919, the United States was caught up in hysteria over a network of communist operatives. "Red Emma," as she was called, was declared a subversive alien and in December, along with Alexander Berkman and 247 others, was deported to Soviet Russia. Her stay there was brief. It did not take her long to realize that the Bolsheviks were neither lovers of freedom nor partisans of workers' control. What had been created there was a massive dictatorship. She left Russia in 1922 and remained active, moving from country to country. She was prohibited from entering the United States.
