description: We introduce AVAR, a prototypical implementation of an agile situated visualization (SV) toolkit targeting liveness, integration, and expressiveness. We report on results of an exploratory study with AVAR and seven expert users. In it, participants wore a Microsoft HoloLens device and used a Bluetooth keyboard to program a visualization script for a given dataset. To support our analysis, we (i) video recorded sessions, (ii) tracked users' interactions, and (iii) collected data of participants' impressions. Our prototype confirms that agile SV is feasible. That is, liveness boosted participants' engagement when programming an SV, and so, the sessions were highly interactive and participants were willing to spend much time using our toolkit (i.e., median >= 1.5 hours). Participants used our integrated toolkit to deal with data transformations, visual mappings, and view transformations without leaving the immersive environment. Finally, participants benefited from our expressive toolkit and employed multiple of the available features when programming an SV.

description: Efficient modeling of dispersive materials via time-domain simulations of the Maxwell equations relies on the technique of auxiliary differential equations. In this approach, a material’s frequency-dependent permittivity is represented via a sum of rational functions, e.g., Lorentz poles, and the associated free parameters are determined by fitting to experimental data. In the present work, we present a modified approach for plasmonic materials that requires considerably fewer fit parameters than traditional approaches. Specifically, we consider the underlying microscopic theory and, in the frequency domain, separate the hydrodynamic contributions of the quasi-free electrons in partially filled bands from the interband transitions. As an illustration, we apply our approach to gold and demonstrate how to treat the interband transitions within the effective model via connecting to the underlying electronic band structure, thereby assigning physical meaning to the remaining fit parameters. Finally, we show how to utilize this approach within the technique of auxiliary differential equations. Our approach can be extended to other plasmonic materials and leads to efficient time-domain simulations of plasmonic structures for frequency ranges where interband transitions have to be considered.

description: Random one plus two-body hamiltonians invariant with respect to $O({\cal N}_1) \oplus O({\cal N}_2)$ symmetry in the group-subgroup chains $U({\cal N}) \supset U({\cal N}_1) \oplus U({\cal N}_2) \supset O({\cal N}_1) \oplus O({\cal N}_2)$ and $U({\cal N}) \supset O({\cal N}) \supset O({\cal N}_1) \oplus O({\cal N}_2)$ chains of a variety of interacting boson models are used to investigate the probability of occurrence of a given $(ω_1 ω_2)$ irreducible representation (irrep) to be the ground state in even-even nuclei; $[ω_1]$ and $[ω_2]$ are symmetric irreps of $O({\cal N}_1)$ and $O({\cal N}_2)$ respectively. Numerical results obtained for ${\cal N}_1 \geq 3, {\cal N}_2=1$ and ${\cal N}_1, {\cal N}_2 \geq 3$ situations are well explained by an extended Hartree-Bose mean-field analysis.

description: Based on a recent work on traveling waves in spatially nonlocal reaction–diffusion equations, we investigate the existence of traveling fronts in reaction–diffusion equations with a memory term. We will explain how such memory terms can arise from reduction of reaction–diffusion systems if the diffusion constants of the other species can be neglected. In particular, we show that two-scale homogenization of spatially periodic systems can induce spatially homogeneous systems with temporal memory. The existence of fronts is proved using comparison principles as well as a reformulation trick involving an auxiliary speed that allows us to transform memory terms into spatially nonlocal terms. Deriving explicit bounds and monotonicity properties of the wave speed of the arising traveling front, we are able to establish the existence of true traveling fronts for the original problem with memory. Our results are supplemented by numerical simulations.

description: Electrodialytic technologies are clean up processes based on the application of a low-level electrical current to produce electrolysis reactions and the consequent electrochemically induced transport of contaminants. These treatments inherently produce electrolytic hydrogen, an energy carrier, at the cathode compartment, in addition to other cathode reactions. However, exploring this by-product for self energy generation in electroremediation has never been researched. In this work we present the study of hydrogen production during the electrodialytic treatment of three different environmental matrices.
title: Exploring the Contribution of Informal Learning to the Professional Development of School Leaders in Cyprus
Creators: name: Sofocleous, Andros Kyriakou
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis explores the contributions of informal learning to the professional development of secondary school leaders in Cyprus. The research questions focus on the ways school leaders learn to lead, the contributions of informal learning to their professional development and the ways informal learning could be incorporated into a holistic professional development programme for school leaders. The study uses an expanded Exploratory Sequential Mixed Methods Design, in which priority is given to the qualitative aspect of the study (Creswell and Plano Clark, 2011). First, interviews with educators with multiple leadership roles were implemented, followed by a survey using a questionnaire developed from the qualitative phase. After this, a new qualitative phase employing interviews with experienced headteachers was used as an evaluation stage, to confirm or not the findings from the previous phases. The main findings reveal the ways in which secondary school leaders in Cyprus learn how to lead, namely through reflection, through a socialisation process, by sharing examples of good practice, by using informal apprenticeships, through incidental learning and through self-directed learning. Informal learning seems to facilitate the development of professional identity and school leaders’ qualities/characteristics to address successfully the complexities of headship. Moreover, this research study provides a discussion regarding the importance of the degree of formality in structuring learning processes, employing The Formality-Informality Model, and proposes a Blended-Learning Model for the Professional Development of School Leaders, which can guide the construction of a relevant professional development programme. This study further suggests that fostering a school leaders’ community of practice (Wenger, 1998) could be a starting point for enhancing a leadership culture throughout the Cyprus Educational System. Finally, a New Leadership Professional Development Framework for School Leaders in Cyprus is proposed, which can facilitate the holistic professional development of secondary school leaders in Cyprus.

description: MISSION ATLANTIC will create new knowledge and data to assess the ecosystem status and resilience of the whole Atlantic Ocean in relation to pressures such as human activities, variability, and natural hazards. MISSION ATLANTIC follows a case study (CS) approach that includes seven regional CSs in the North, South, and Tropical Atlantic. CSs areas are nested in a basin-scale approach sharing data, knowledge, and models, to allow the quantification of: (1) the biodiversity of pelagic/benthic biomes using different metrics and their spatial distributions; (2) the climate variability; (3) the socioecological networks; and (4) the ecosystem-based management for integrated ecosystem assessments (IEA). The project will exploit machine-learning methods to deliver a step change in our ability to extract and process large quantities of ecosystem data, to deliver indicators, to map ocean risks, and to autonomously identify seafloor characteristics. MISSION ATLANTIC partners will make available a set of data from standard monitoring cruises, in addition to numerous future scientific and commercial trial cruises that are planned to occur during the project.

description: Reliable quality assessment of decoded point cloud geometry is essential to evaluate the compression performance of emerging point cloud coding solutions and guarantee some target quality of experience. This paper proposes a novel point cloud geometry quality assessment metric based on a generalization of the Hausdorff distance. To achieve this goal, the so-called generalized Hausdorff distance for multiple rankings is exploited to identify the best performing quality metric in terms of correlation with the MOS scores obtained from a subjective test campaign. The experimental results show that the quality metric derived from the classical Hausdorff distance leads to low objective-subjective correlation and, thus, fails to accurately evaluate the quality of decoded point clouds for emerging codecs. However, the quality metric derived from the generalized Hausdorff distance with an appropriately selected ranking, outperforms the MPEG adopted geometry quality metrics when decoded point clouds with different types of coding distortions are considered.

description: The expansion of a 1D Bose gas is investigated employing the Lieb-Liniger equation of state within the local density approximation. We show that during the expansion the density profile of the gas does not follow a self-similar solution, as one would expect from a simple scaling Ansatz. We carry out a variational calculation, which recovers the numerical results for the expansion, the equilibrium properties of the density profile, and the frequency of the lowest compressional mode. The variational approach allows for the analysis of the expansion in all interaction regimes between the mean field and the Tonks-Girardeau limits, and in particular shows the range of parameters for which the expansion violates self-similarity.

description: Context. Low-mass protostars drive powerful molecular outflows that can be observed with mm and sub-mm telescopes. Various sulfuretted species are known to be bright in shocks and could be used to infer the physical and chemical conditions throughout the observed outflows. Aims. The evolution of sulfur chemistry is studied along the outflows driven by the NGC1333-IRAS4A protobinary system located in the Perseus cloud to constrain the physical and chemical processes at work in shocks. Methods. We observed various transitions from OCS, CS, SO, and SO$_2$ towards NGC1333-IRAS4A in the 1.3, 2, and 3mm bands using the IRAM NOEMA array and we interpreted the observations through the use of the Paris-Durham shock model. Results. The targeted species clearly show different spatial emission along the two outflows driven by IRAS4A. OCS is brighter on small and large scales along the south outflow driven by IRAS4A1, whereas SO$_2$ is detected rather along the outflow driven by IRAS4A2 that is extended along the north east - south west (NE-SW) direction. Column density ratio maps estimated from a rotational diagram analysis allowed us to confirm a clear gradient of the OCS/SO$_2$ column density ratio between the IRAS4A1 and IRAS4A2 outflows. SO is detected at extremely high radial velocity up to 25 km/s relative to the source velocity, clearly allowing us to distinguish the two outflows on small scales. Conclusions. The observed chemical differentiation between the two outflows of the IRAS4A system could be explained by a different chemical history. The outflow driven by IRAS4A1 is likely younger and more enriched in species initially formed in interstellar ices, such as OCS, and recently sputtered into the shock gas. In contrast, the longer and likely older outflow triggered by IRAS4A2 is more enriched in species that have a gas phase origin, such as SO$_2$.

title: Discourses Influencing OU Students' Participation In, and Engagement With, Online Collaborative Learning
Creators: name: Dyke, Janet Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Constructivist learning theories have inter-subjectivity at their core, and collaborative learning, where learners work together to build knowledge, is widely considered good pedagogy. In distance learning, collaboration usually occurs online. The Open University includes online collaborative learning across the curriculum, but there is evidence of non-participation, and some students report they do not wish to collaborate. There is little published data on student attitudes towards collaborative learning. This study investigated Open University students' talk and practice around online collaborative learning, and placed it in the context of learning discourses within the University and elsewhere. It was conducted using focus groups, quantitative analysis of social presence during online collaborative learning activities, discourse analysis of University scholarship texts, and evaluation of policy and practice in UK education. Identified issues included lack of trust in other students, cost-benefit analysis including expectation of extrinsic reward through assessment, and reluctance to both share knowledge and value knowledge of other students. Collaborative activities were viewed as discrete tasks to be completed, and to demonstrate transferable skills rather than as learning processes. There was little social presence during the activities, which it is argued indicates lack of engagement with the community. It is suggested that presenting knowledge as bounded within a tightly defined and assessed curriculum conflicts with the exploratory nature of collaborative learning, and can discourage student participation and engagement. There is also conflict between the employability agenda and collaboration as a constructive learning tool. It is recommended that learning collaboratively is presented as an ethos rather than as discrete, formal, product-focused and assessed activities. Group trust and cohesion should be fostered. These recommendations are not limited to the Open University or to online learning.

title: Migration Stimulating Factor: New Marker for Tumour Progression?
Creators: name: Laface, Ilaria
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: The aims of my work were: a) to generate reagents (recombinant protein and antibodies) useful to identify MSF as a possible marker for TAMs in human tumours; b) to characterise the biological properties of MSF. MSF is a soluble oncofoetal isoform of human fibronectin 1, identical to the N-terminus portion of fibronectin and characterized by the presence of a unique 10 amino acids long sequence in the C-terminus end. MSF is expressed by epithelial and stromal cells during foetal development and in cancer patients, but not by adult normal cells. Our group found a selective expression of MSF by M2-polarized human macrophages and M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TAMs are major inflammatory cells infiltrating tumors, they support tumour growth and are associated to poor prognosis. These findings suggest that MSF could be a potential marker for tumor progression associated to M2-like polarization of TAM and a promising target for anti-cancer therapy. Human MSF has been expressed in CHO cells and purified by affinity chromatography. Recombinant MSF has a motogenic effect on cancer cell lines, human monocytes and murine peritoneal macrophages. Different levels of MSF expression were observed in human cancer cell lines and correlate with its motogenic effect. In vivo experiments showed that tumors derived from MSF-expressing cells had an higher growth rate compared to tumors derived from control cells. We also developed a monoclonal antibody (MoAb_E10) recognizing human MSF. A initial characterization on human tumour tissues (lung, breast, colon) showed MSF expression in tumor cells as well as stromal cells. In particular MSF expression is associated to M2-like TAM. Given that TAMs are promising target for anticancer therapy, the possibility to identify M2 polarized cells would be of considerable interest and further studies will be necessary to define the importance of MSF in the context of human tumours.

description: The introductory contribution to this special issue on “Political Theory of the Digital Constellation” addresses the conditions and possibilities of political theory’s engagement with digital developments. The motivation for this inquiry is the growing interest in questions of political theory arising from the digital transformation, as well as the acknowledgement that digitalisation not only changes politics, but conversely that politics also shapes digitalisation. The article identifies three pitfalls of previous engagement: The narrowing of the subject of “digitalisation” to the topic of the “internet” and, thereby, to the aspect of communication, the disregard for the technicality of the digital, and the insufficient recognition that (digital) technology is political. To avoid these pitfalls, the research perspective of the digital constellation is presented. The digital constellation serves as an epistemological guide that helps to structure theoretical reflection on the interrelationship between digitalisation and political questions. Ultimately, the outlines of the political theory in the digital constellation become clear in the fourteen contributions of the special volume, which are presented in conclusion.
description: Der einführende Beitrag zum Sonderheft „Politische Theorie der digitalen Konstellation“ widmet sich den Bedingungen und Möglichkeiten der politiktheoretischen Auseinandersetzung mit digitalen Entwicklungen. Das wachsende Interesse an politiktheoretischen Fragen im Kontext der digitalen Transformation und die Erkenntnis der politischen Gestaltbarkeit von Digitalisierung, bilden den Anlass für die Beschäftigung. Der Beitrag identifiziert drei Fallstricke der bisherigen Auseinandersetzung: Die Engführung des Gegenstands Digitalisierung auf den Aspekt des Internets und damit der Kommunikation, die Missachtung der Technizität digitaler Phänomene und die mangelnde Anerkennung der politischen Aspekte von (digitaler) Technik. Um diese Fallstricke zu vermeiden, wird die Forschungsperspektive der digitalen Konstellation vorgestellt. Diese dient als erkenntnistheoretische Handreichung, um die theoretische Reflexion des Wechselverhältnisses von Digitalisierung und Politik zu strukturieren. Die Umrisse politischer Theorie in der digitalen Konstellation werden in den vierzehn Beiträgen des Sonderbands deutlich, die abschließend vorgestellt werden.

description: Coreopsis tinctoria (C. tinctoria) is a traditional plant with high medicinal value and edible value. It has the effect of invigorating spleen and stomach and has the potential to develop into flower tea. Therefore, the extraction process of C. tinctoria extract (CTA) was optimised by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) combined with orthogonal test, and its activity was predicted by network pharmacology and verified by experiments. The optimal extraction conditions: temperature of 80 °C, extraction period of 10 min, solid-liquid ratio of 1:70 and times 2. CTA had no gastrointestinal irritation and can significantly increase the faecal water content of mice, inhibit amylase activity, increase protease, xylanase and cellulase activity, increase the number of intestinal Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, reduce the number of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus. In summary, CTA can effectively improve the intestinal digestive enzyme activity and the number of probiotics and has the potential to treat gastrointestinal diseases.

description: Exclusive radiative B decays, B to K* gamma, K_1(1270) gamma, K_1(1400) gamma and K*_2(1430) gamma, are studied in the framework of a covariant light-front quark model. The tensor form factor T_1(q^2) at q^2=0, which is relevant to the decay B to K* gamma, is found to be 0.24, substantially smaller than what expected from the conventional light-front model or light-cone sum rules. Taking into account the sizable next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections, the calculated branching ratio of B to K* gamma agrees with experiment, while most of the existing models predict too large B to K* gamma compared to the data. The relative strength of B to K_1(1270) gamma and B to K_1(1400) gamma rates is very sensitive to the sign of the K_1(1270)-K_1(1400) mixing angle. Contrary to the other models in which K_1(1270) gamma and K_1(1400) gamma rates are predicted to be comparable, it is found that one of them is strongly suppressed owing to a large cancellation between two different form factor terms. The calculated branching ratio of B to K*_2 gamma is in a good agreement with experiment and this may imply the smallness of NLO corrections to this radiative decay mode.

description: H. Hertz called any manifold M with a given nonintegrable distribution {\it nonholonomic}. Vershik and Gershkovich stated and R. Montgomery proved that the space of germs of any nonholonomic distribution on M with an open and dense orbit of the diffeomorphism group is either (1) of codimension one or (2) an Engel distribution. No analog of this statement for supermanifolds is formulated yet, we only have some examples: our list (an analog of E.Cartan's classification) of simple Lie superalgebras of vector fields with polynomial coefficients and a particular (Weisfeiler) grading contains 16 series similar to contact ones and 11 exceptional algebras preserving nonholonomic structures. Here we compute the cohomology corresponding to the analog of the Riemann tensor for the SUPERmanifolds corresponding to the 15 exceptional simple vectorial Lie superalgebras, 11 of which are nonholonomic. The cohomology for analogs of the Riemann tensor for the manifolds with an exceptional Engel manifolds are computed in math.RT/0202213.

description: Zusammenfassung Die Erreichbarkeit von Infrastrukturen der Daseinsvorsorge spielt sowohl für Standort-entscheidungen als auch für die individuelle Lebenssituation der Bürger eine wichtige Rolle, denn Erreichbarkeitsverhältnisse bestimmen neben der Qualität des Infrastrukturangebots den regionalen Versorgungsgrad mit Infrastruktur. Damit sind sie ein wichtiger Faktor der regionalen Entwicklung. Auch für die Diskussion über die Sicherung der Daseinsvorsorge sind aktuelle Informationen über die Erreichbarkeit von Einrichtungen der Daseinsvorsorge notwendig, um sich vor dem Hintergrund des normativen Anspruches der Aufrechterhaltung gleichwertiger Lebensverhältnisse im Bundesgebiet ein realistisches Bild über die derzeitige Situation als Ausgangsbasis für ggf. notwendige Politikinterventionen machen zu können. Vor diesem Hintergrund befasst sich die vorliegende Studie mit der Abschätzung der regionalen Erreichbarkeit von Ärzten, Krankenhäusern, Apotheken und ambulanten Pflegediensten nach Sozialgesetzbuch Elftes Buch (SGB XI) in Deutschland als – insbesondere in ländlichen Räumen – wichtige Schlüsseldienstleistungen für die Versorgung der Bürger. Dazu wird auf Basis eines rasterbasierten GIS-Erreichbarkeitsmodells ein einfacher generischer Erreichbarkeitsindikator ermittelt, der Rückschlüsse auf die Grundversorgungssituation flächendeckend für Deutschland ermöglicht. Summary Accessibility is as important for location decisions and regional development as it is for the individual life situation of the citizens. The reason is that accessibility determines the regional quality and provision of services of general interest. Considering the normative political claim to provide comparable living conditions in all regions of Germany actual empirically sound information about the accessibility of services of general interest are important in order to get an objective and realistic impression about the current situation which can function as input for future policy actions and interventions. The study focuses on the estimation of the regional availability of physicians, hospitals, public pharmacies and ambulant nursing services according to the Social Security Code, Book Eleven (SGB XI) by analysing the accessibility based on a raster-based GIS accessibility analysis. Thereby the study especially focuses on the availability of such services in rural areas.

description: Rotation of the plane of the polarization of light in the presence of a magnetic-field, known as the Faraday rotation, is a consequence of the electromagnetic nature of light and has been utilized in many optical devices. Current efforts aim to realize the ultrafast Faraday rotation on a sub-picosecond time scale. Thereby, the Faraday medium should allow an ultrafast process by which in the presence of an ultrashort intense magnetic-field, the light polarization rotates. We meet these criteria by applying an intense single cycle THz magnetic-field to simple molecular liquids and demonstrate the rotation of the plane of polarization of an optical pulse traversing the liquids on a sub-picosecond time scale. The effect is attributed to the deflection of an optically induced instantaneous electric polarization under the influence the THz magnetic-field. The resolved Faraday rotation scales linearly with the THz magnetic-field and quadratically with the molecular polarizability.

description: Recent experimental data appear to confirm the existence of the exotic Theta+ (uudd\bar{s}) baryon. Simple statistical considerations, which have generally proven rather successful, suggest that this particle should be produced in observable abundance in relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC, where it may be identifed through the p-K0_s invariant mass spectrum. The observation would not only add new evidence for its existence, but would also provide an additional means for probing the collision system, especially with regard to strangeness.

description: The University of British Columbia Food System Project (UBCFSP) was developed with the goal to increase the sustainability of UBC’s food system. One important step toward achieving this goal is utilizing the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at UBC Farm, formerly known as the UBC Farm. In order to use the farm as a tool for UBC food system sustainability, it must become financially viable and adhere to ecological, social, and economic sustainable practices. Further, our task for 2006 was to provide a framework as a means to establish a full-fledged farmers’ market on the Farm, which is to be completely established, run and promoted by UBC volunteers and selected staff. Essentially, the full-fledged farmers’ market would be an extension of the current UBC Farm Market that runs through the summer on Saturdays. However, this specific project acknowledged the wishes of UBCFSP partners who suggested that the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at UBC Farm collaborate with other local farms with the end goal of supplying local products for all UBC on-campus food providers. With this, there would be an increase in UBC farm and local producer’s revenues as well as the potential to create even greater contracts and partnerships.

description: We draw on a phenomenological model of institutional theory to explore how sub-national policies shape corporate board gender diversity of publicly traded firms. Using a sample of S&P 1500 firms in 49 U.S. states from 2003 to 2014, we find that firms headquartered in states with progressive policies that protect women from discrimination and provide greater availability of emergency contraception and public funding for abortions have greater shares of women directors in their board of directors. Our findings hold after a series of robustness checks and offer implications for theory, policy, and practice.

description: Graphite has been used as neutron moderator or reflector in many nuclear reactors. The irradiation of graphite in a nuclear reactor results in a complex population of defects. Heating of the irradiated graphite at high temperatures results in annihilation of the defects with release of an unusually large energy, called the Wigner energy. From various experiments on highly irradiated graphite samples from CIRUS reactor at Trombay and ab-initio simulations, we have for the first time identified various 2-, 3- and 4-coordinated topological structures in defected graphite, and provided microscopic mechanism of defect annihilation on heating and release of the Wigner energy. The annihilation process involves cascading cooperative movement of atoms in two steps involving an intermediate structure. Our work provides new insights in understanding of the defect topologies and annihilation in graphite which is of considerable importance to wider areas of graphitic materials including graphene and carbon nanotubes.
