description: The study examines blockchain technologies and their pivotal role in the evolving Metaverse, shedding light on topics such as how to invest in cryptocurrency, the mechanics behind crypto mining, and strategies to effectively buy and trade cryptocurrencies. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the research transitions from the fundamental principles of fintech investment strategies to the overarching implications of blockchain within the Metaverse. Alongside exploring machine learning potentials in financial sectors and risk assessment methodologies, the study critically assesses whether developed or developing nations are poised to reap greater benefits from these technologies. Moreover, it probes into both enduring and dubious crypto projects, drawing a distinct line between genuine blockchain applications and Ponzi-like schemes. The conclusion resolutely affirms the continuing dominance of blockchain technologies, underlined by a profound exploration of their intrinsic value and a reflective commentary by the author on the potential risks confronting individual investors.

description: In most (weakly interacting) extensions of the Standard Model the relation mapping the parameter values onto experimentally measurable quantities can be computed (with some uncertainties), but the inverse relation is usually not known. In this paper we demonstrate the ability of artificial neural networks to find this unknown relation, by determining the unknown parameters of the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM) from quantities that can be measured at the LHC. We expect that the method works also for many other new physics models. We compare its performance with the results of a straightforward χ^2 minimization. We simulate LHC signals at a center of mass energy of 14 TeV at the hadron level. In this proof-of-concept study we do not explicitly simulate Standard Model backgrounds, but apply cuts that have been shown to enhance the signal-to-background ratio. We analyze four different benchmark points that lie just beyond current lower limits on superparticle masses, each of which leads to around 1000 events after cuts for an integrated luminosity of 10 fb^{-1}. We use up to 84 observables, most of which are counting observables; we do not attempt to directly reconstruct (differences of) masses from kinematic edges or kinks of distributions. We nevertheless find that m_0 and m_{1/2} can be determined reliably, with errors as small as 1% in some cases. With 500 fb^{-1} of data tanβas well as A_0 can also be determined quite accurately. For comparable computational effort the χ^2 minimization yielded much worse results.

title: Symmetry structure for differential-difference equations
Creators: name: Khanizadeh, Farbod
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Having infinitely many generalised symmetries is one of the definition of integrability for non-linear differential-difference equations. Therefore, it is important to develop tools by which we can produce these quantities and guarantee the integrability. Two different methods of producing generalised symmetries are studied throughout this thesis, namely recursion operators and master symmetries. These are objects that enable one to obtain the hierarchy of symmetries by recursive action on a known symmetry of a given equation. Our first result contains new Hamiltonian, symplectic and recursion operators for several (1+1)-dimensional differential-difference equations both scalar and multicomponent. In fact in chapter 5 we give the factorization of the new recursion operators into composition of compatible Hamiltonian and symplectic operators. For the list of integrable equations we shall also provide the inverse of recursion operators if it exists. As the second result, we have obtained the master symmetry of differential-difference KP equation. Since for (2+1)-dimensional differential-difference equations recursion operators take more complicated form, " master symmetries are alternative effective tools to produce infinitely many symmetries. The notion of master symmetry is thoroughly discussed in chapter 6 and as a result of this chapter we obtain the master symmetry for the differential-difference KP (DDKP) equation. Furthermore, we also produce time dependent symmetries through sl(2, C)-representation of the DDKP equation.

description: We examine the compatibility of the mirror matter concept with the non-orientable wormholes. If any particle (or classical object) is traversing through the non-orientable wormhole, it turns into a corresponding mirror particle and vice versa. The critical sonic point in the hydrodynamical flow of the perfect fluid is located exactly at the throat of the wormhole. This means that wormholes are traversable for the fluid. The astrophysical signatures of the presence of non-orientable wormholes in the Universe are discussed. Some non-trivial aspects of the non-orientable wormholes electrodynamics are considered.

description: In the resummation of collinear gluons emitted together with active partons from the hadrons in the Drell-Yan process (DY) effects of color entanglement become important when the transverse directions are taken into account. It is then no longer possible to write the cross section as the convolution of two soft correlators and a hard part. We show that the color entanglement introduces additional color factors that must be taken into account in the extraction of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMD PDFs) from azimuthal asymmetries. Examples where such effects matter are the extraction of the double Sivers and double Boer-Mulders asymmetries. Furthermore, we will argue why this color entanglement is a basic ingredient already in the tree-level description of azimuthal asymmetries.

Time evolution of pulsar obliquity angle from 3D simulations of magnetospheres

description: The rotational period of isolated pulsars increases over time due to the extraction of angular momentum by electromagnetic torques. These torques also change the obliquity angle $α$ between the magnetic and rotational axes. Although actual pulsar magnetospheres are plasma-filled, the time evolution of $α$ has mostly been studied for vacuum pulsar magnetospheres. In this work, we self-consistently account for the plasma effects for the first time by analysing the results of time-dependent 3D force-free and magnetohydrodynamic simulations of pulsar magnetospheres. We show that if a neutron star is spherically symmetric and is embedded with a dipolar magnetic moment, the pulsar evolves so as to minimise its spin-down luminosity: both vacuum and plasma-filled pulsars evolve toward the aligned configuration ($α=0$). However, they approach the alignment in qualitatively different ways. Vacuum pulsars come into alignment exponentially fast, with $α\propto \exp(-t/τ)$ and $τ\sim$ spindown timescale. In contrast, we find that plasma-filled pulsars align much more slowly, with $α\propto (t/τ)^{-1/2}$. We argue that the slow time evolution of obliquity of plasma-filled pulsars can potentially resolve several observational puzzles, including the origin of normal pulsars with periods of $\sim1$ second, the evidence that oblique pulsars come into alignment over a timescale of $\sim 10^7$ years, and the observed deficit, relative to an isotropic obliquity distribution, of pulsars showing interpulse emission.

BCVEGPY and GENXICC for the hadronic production of the doubly heavy mesons and baryons

Year: 2013

description: Doubly heavy mesons and baryons provide a good platform for testing pQCD. Two generators BCVEGPY and GENXICC for simulating the hadronic production of the doubly heavy mesons and baryons have been developed in recent years. In this talk, we present their main idea and their recent progresses. The dominant gluon-gluon fusion mechanism programmed in those two generators are written based on the improved helicity amplitude approach, in which the hard scattering amplitude are dealt with directly at the amplitude level and the numerical efficiency are greatly improved by properly decomposing the Feynman diagrams and by fully applying the symmetries among them. Moreover, in comparison to the previous versions, we have updated the programs in order to generate the unweighted meson or baryon events much more effectively within various simulation environments. The generators can be conveniently imported into PYTHIA to do further hadronization and decay simulation.

description: We measure the cross-power spectrum of the projected mass density as traced by the convergence of the cosmic microwave background lensing field from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and a sample of Type 1 and 2 (unobscured and obscured) quasars at z~1 selected with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, over 2500 deg^2. The cross-power spectrum is detected at ~7-sigma, and we measure a linear bias b=1.67+/-0.24, consistent with clustering analyses. Using an independent lensing map, derived from Planck observations, to measure the cross-spectrum, we find excellent agreement with the SPT analysis. The bias of the combined sample of Type 1 and 2 quasars determined in this work is similar to that previously determined for Type 1 quasars alone; we conclude that that obscured and unobscured quasars must trace the matter field in a similar way. This result has implications for our understanding of quasar unification and evolution schemes.

The effect of cardiac rehabilitation exercise training on left ventricular remodelling in patients with recent myocardial infarction
Creators: name: McGregor, Gordon S.
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Cardiology (incl. cardiovascular diseases)

description: The present thesis examined the effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) exercise training on reverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling in a cohort of post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients with mildly abnormal LV ejection fraction (LVEF). Specifically, the thesis aimed to evaluate the effect of 10 weeks of exercise training on (1) the N-terminal fragment of the counter regulatory neurohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), (2) LV structural and functional parameters through the use of conventional echocardiography, and (3) LV mechanics via the application of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Accordingly, a large cohort of patients completed a single longitudinal protocol to provide data for three separate experimental studies. A number of cardiovascular adaptations were observed following completion of 10 weeks of CR exercise training. Firstly, an improvement in exercise capacity was evident. Secondly, study one demonstrated that resting NT-pro-BNP was reduced and that the acute increase in NT-pro- BNP observed following bouts of maximal and submaximal exercise may be attenuated. Thirdly, in study two, LV volumetric adaptation was evidenced by reduced LV end diastolic volume (EDV) and end systolic volume (ESV). Furthermore, a positive correlation between reduced resting NT-pro-BNP and reduced EDV provided an indication of the relationship between NT-pro-BNP and reverse LV volumetric remodelling. Finally, the main finding of study three was related to LV functional adaptation, indicated by a reduction in LV twist and twist velocity. Collectively, findings from the three experimental studies presented in this thesis provide evidence of volumetric and functional reverse LV remodelling, further to 10 weeks of CR exercise training in post-MI patients. It is likely that these cardiac adaptations may contribute to the improved cardiovascular exercise capacity and reduced mortality commonly witnessed following CR exercise training in the post-MI population.

On the sympatric evolution and evolutionary stability of coexistence by relative nonlinearity of competition

description: If two species exhibit different nonlinear responses to a single shared resource, and if each species modifies the resource dynamics such that this favors its competitor, they may stably coexist. This coexistence mechanism, known as relative nonlinearity of competition, is well understood theoretically, but less is known about its evolutionary properties and its prevalence in real communities. We address this challenge by using adaptive dynamics theory and individual-based simulations to compare community stabilization and evolutionary stability of species that coexist by relative nonlinearity. In our analysis, evolution operates on the species' density-compensation strategies, and we consider a trade-off between population growth rates at high and low resource availability. We confirm previous findings that, irrespective of the particular model of density dependence, there are many combinations of overcompensating and undercompensating density-compensation strategies that allow stable coexistence by relative nonlinearity. However, our analysis also shows that most of these strategy combinations are not evolutionarily stable and will be outcompeted by an intermediate density-compensation strategy. Only very specific trade-offs lead to evolutionarily stable coexistence by relative nonlinearity. As we find no reason why these particular trade-offs should be common in nature, we conclude that the sympatric evolution and evolutionary stability of relative nonlinearity, while possible in principle, seems rather unlikely. We speculate that this may, at least in part, explain why empirical demonstrations of this coexistence mechanism are rare, noting, however, that the difficulty to detect relative nonlinearity in the field [...]

Solar Dynamics Observatory and Hinode observations of a blowout jet in a coronal hole

description: A blowout jet occurred within the south coronal hole on 9 February 2011 at 09:00 UT and was observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory, and the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) onboard the Hinode spacecraft during coronal hole monitoring performed as part of Hinode Operations Program No. 177. Images from AIA show expanding hot and cold loops from a small bright point with plasma ejected in a curtain up to 30 Mm wide. The initial intensity front of the jet had a projected velocity of 200 km/s and line-of-sight (LOS) velocities measured by EIS are between 100 and 250 km/s. The LOS velocities increased along the jet, implying an acceleration mechanism operating within the body of the jet. The jet plasma had a density of 2.7 x 10^8 cm^-3, and a temperature of 1.4 MK. During the event a number of bright kernels were seen at the base of the bright point. The kernels have sizes of about 1000 km, are variable in brightness, and have lifetimes of 1-15 minutes. An XRT filter ratio yields temperatures of 1.5-3.0 MK for the kernels. The bright point existed for at least ten hours, but disappeared within two hours after the jet, which lasted for 30 minutes. HMI data reveal converging photospheric flows at the location of the bright point, and the mixed polarity magnetic flux canceled over a period of four hours on either side of the jet.

description: This article concerns a systemic manifestation of small scale interfacial heterogeneities in large scale quantities of interest to a variety of diverse applications spanning the earth, biological and ecological sciences. Beginning with formulations in terms of partial differential equations governing the conservative, advective-dispersive transport of mass concentrations in divergence form, the specific interfacial heterogeneities are introduced in terms of (spatial) discontinuities in the diffusion coefficient across a lower-dimensional hypersurface. A pathway to an equivalent stochastic formulation is then developed with special attention to the interfacial effects in various functionals such as first passage times, occupation times and local times. That an appreciable theory is achievable within a framework of applications involving one-dimensional models having piecewise constant coefficients greatly facilitates our goal of a gentle introduction to some rather dramatic mathematical consequences of interfacial effects that can be used to predict structure and to inform modeling.

To Teach or Not to Teach? A study of Dyslexia in Teacher Education
Creators: name: O‟Hara, Catherine
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Teacher education and professional development of educators

description: Disability legislation and the widening of participation to a greater diversity of students requires that universities meet the needs of a growing number of students disclosing dyslexia. Previous research has shown that support for these students is often minimal, and, at best, relies on generic minimal guidelines advised by Disability Services. In addition, negative attitudes towards these students have been identified in the literature. This attitude was particularly prominent in relation to students with dyslexia in teacher education. This case study, conducted in a Scottish university, used semi-structured interviews of students, academic staff, disability support staff, head teachers in schools and documentation and data, to ascertain how the institution supported students with dyslexia in teacher education. Data were collected and analysed using an interpretivist approach where data is analysed inductively through interpretation of the data. Findings suggest that there were examples of an inclusive culture. This included a university wide admissions policy that did not discriminate against dyslexic students on application and entry to teaching, and the establishment of clear lines of responsibility and communication between Disability Services and academic staff regarding student adjustments. It was recognized by academic staff that students with dyslexia were able to use creative strategies in order to overcome the barriers created by dyslexia. However, a fully inclusive ethos was hampered by a belief that students with dyslexia may be unfit to practise as teachers as a result of dyslexia. This was despite the lack of clear evidence that this was the case. The institution therefore needs to look beyond the legal requirements of disability provision by challenging negative cultures. This study suggests that this can be facilitated by the provision of meaningful staff development that promotes equality and diversity and by listening to the voices of the students themselves.

title: The evolution of Polish-German relations in the context of EU enlargement : the limits to Europeanisation
Creators: name: Vandenkendelaere, Tom
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis studies the Europeanisation of bilateral relations of EU member states, with the Polish-German relationship as a crucial case study. The starting point is the question whether bilateral relations can become Europeanised, as domestic structures do, as an effect of EU enlargement. To test this thesis, this thesis puts forward a competitive-testing design which develops the three IR-theories of realism, liberalism and constructivism, and in which elements of rational-choice institutionalism and sociological institutionalism are integrated. With the testing based on three theories and the integrated elements of neo-institutionalism, this thesis investigates first the dynamics behind change in bilateral relations and Second, the channels through which influence from the EU institutional framework operates. The Polish-German case is presented as a crucial-case study, as it is a set of relations in which a positive change in relations is most likely to occur, given the shared historical burden. On the basis of a survey of publicly accessible documents and semi-structured elite interviews, the thesis presents three groups of units of analysis covering different facets of bilateral relations: the role of history in relations, EU-related issues in the relationship, and the bilateral relations in a multilateral context. Through investigating whether bilateral relations can successfully become Europeanised, a contribution is sought to be made to knowledge on the dynamics of EU enlargement. In addition, the analysis of Polish-German relations between 1994 and 2010 forms a new contribution to the existing knowledge on this interesting case.

description: We study the behavior of persistent current of relativistic electrons on a one dimensional ring in presence of attractive/repulsive scattering potentials. In particular, we investigate the persistent current in accordance with the strength as well as the number of the scattering potential. We find that in presence of single scatterer the persistent current becomes smaller in magnitude than the scattering free scenario. This behaviour is similar to the non-relativistic case. Even for a very strong scattering potential, finite amount of persistent current remains for a relativistic ring. In presence of multiple scatterer we observe that the persistent current is maximum when the scatterers are placed uniformly compared to the current averaged over random configurations. However if we increase the number of scatterers, we find that the random averaged current increases with the number of scatterers. The latter behaviour is in contrast to the non-relativistic case.

description: The correct cup position in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is usually assessed on anteroposterior low centered pelvic radiographs, harboring the risk of misinterpretation due to projection of a three-dimensional geometry on a two-dimensional plane. In the current study, we evaluate the effect of this parallax effect on the cup inclination and anteversion in THA. In the course of a prospective clinical trial, 116 standardized low centered pelvic radiographs, as routinely obtained after THA, were evaluated regarding the impact of central beam deviation on the cup inclination and anteversion angles. Measurements of the horizontal and vertical beam offset with two different methods of parallax correction were compared with each other. Furthermore, the effect of parallax correction on the accuracy ofmeasuring the cup position was investigated. The mean difference between the two parallax correction methods was 0.2° ± 0.1° (from 0° to 0.4°) for the cup inclination and 0.1° ± 0.1° (from −0.1° to 0.2°) for the anteversion. For a typically intended cup position of a 45° inclination and 15° anteversion, the parallax effect led to a mean error of −1.5° ± 0.3° for the inclination and 0.6° ± 1.0° for the anteversion. Central beam deviation resulted in a projected higher cup inclination up to 3.7°, and this effect was more prominent in cups with higher anteversion. In contrast, the projected inclination decreased due to the parallax effect up to 3.2°, especially in cups with high inclination. The parallax effect on routinely obtained low centered pelvic radiographs is low and not clinically relevant due to the compensating effect of simultaneous medial and caudal central beam deviation.
A Study on the Use of ICT in Teaching in Secondary Schools in Kuwait
Creators: name: Alharbi, Eid
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Secondary education

description: Over the past few decades, information and communications technology (ICT) has become gradually more important to schools and universities. There are wide of research exists to explore and study the use of ICT in the process of learning and teaching in secondary schools. This research examines how ICT is applied in the classroom of Kuwaiti schools from the perspective of students, teachers and decision-makers. Based on four fundamental research questions, the aim is to analyse the level and impact of ICT on teachers' pedagogy, the students' perception of ICT use in the classroom and to seek out any fundamental differences in public and private education, as well as across genders. The research adopted a mixed-methods approach to data gathering, using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to gather data from students, teachers and policy-makers in Kuwait. The evidence was then analysed based upon the original research questions outlined. The results show a sporadic use of ICT in Kuwaiti secondary schools and suggest that when employed, evidence is mixed as to whether there is indeed a positive or negative impact from ICT use. The research does suggest there is capacity in the skills of teachers and students to employ ICT effectively, at least on a fundamental or technical level. There remains a significant gap between possessing these schools and applying them in the school setting. Alongside this, there is some support and recognition of the benefits associated with ICT use, and there are some teachers who recognise the importance of ICT in developing more constructivist methods in the classroom. The research therefore implies both a potential failure of Government and the profession itself to effectively implement ICT in the Kuwaiti classroom.

description: The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) has been observing the optical emission from the prime targets of the gamma-ray instruments on-board the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) since its launch on 17 October 2002. Simultaneously to these observations of the prime targets, OMC has been acquiring data from about 100 objects of interest within its 5º×5º field of view of each exposure, mainly optically variable or suspected variable sources. The analysis of these complementary observations has led to many interesting scientific results. After 20 years of INTEGRAL/OMC observations, the OMC Archive, publicly available at http://sdc.cab.inta-csic.es/omc/, contains the light curves of about 98 000 scientific objects with more than 50 photometric points. Furthermore, in 2012 we published the first INTEGRAL/OMC catalogue of variable sources, where we provided a compilation of clean and ready-to-use OMC light curves of a selected sample, together with some useful information on the variability and periodicity of these sources. In this contribution we summarise the present contents of the OMC Archive and review some of the most interesting results on OMC complementary science using data from the OMC Archive and/or the first INTEGRAL/OMC catalogue, obtained by the scientific community so far for different types of variable sources.

Theory of quasiparticle scattering interference on the surface of topological superconductors

description: Topological superconductors, such as noncentrosymmetric superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling, exhibit protected zero-energy surface states, which possess an intricate helical spin structure. We show that this nontrival spin character of the surface states can be tested experimentally from the absence of certain backscattering processes in Fourier-transform scanning tunneling measurements. A detailed theoretical analysis is given of the quasiparticle scattering interference on the surface of both nodal and fully gapped topological superconductors with different crystal point-group symmetries. We determine the universal features in the interference patterns resulting from magnetic and nonmagnetic scattering processes of the surface quasiparticles. It is shown that Fourier-transform scanning tunneling spectroscopy allows us to uniquely distinguish among different types of topological surface states, such as zero-energy flat bands, arc surface states, and helical Majorana modes, which in turn provides valuable information on the spin and orbital pairing symmetry of the bulk superconducting state.

The inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by manuka honey

Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University

Subjects: Medical microbiology not elsewhere classified

description: Although manuka honey has been shown to inhibit Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen implicated in cutaneous wound infections, the mechanisms of action are not yet defined. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to investigate the inhibitory effects of manuka honey on P. aeruginosa. Initially, a bactericidal mode of action was confirmed using suspension cultures of P. aeruginosa. Laser scanning confocal microscopy, atomic force microscopy and hydrophobicity assays identified physiological changes in manuka honey treated cells, such as reduced surface hydrophobicity, membrane blebbing, cell lysis and the release of extracellular material. The effects of manuka honey on intracellular proteins and the expression of cell envelope components was explored using two dimensional gel electrophoresis and qPCR, respectively. Expression of the gene encoding the structural anchor protein, OprF, was significantly suppressed in manuka honey treated cells. This resulted in a marked reduction in cell envelope stability with a reduced capacity to resist osmotic stress. The effect of manuka honey on P. aeruginosa surface associated functions (motility and biofilm formation/integrity) was also investigated. Transmission electron microscopy and motility assays identified significant de-flagellation and reduced motility of P. aeruginosa cells following exposure to sub-inhibitory concentrations of manuka honey. qPCR of various genes within the flagella regulon, identified suppression of genes encoding master regulators FleQ and FliA. Biofilm cells, inherently more tolerant to antimicrobial agents, required a higher concentration of manuka honey to inhibit biomass and bioactivity than planktonic cells. Reductions in the number of biofilm cells treated with manuka honey and dressings coated/impregnated with manuka honey were monitored using an in vitro cutaneous wound model. qPCR of treated biofilm cells suggested that similar mechanisms to those observed in planktonic cells occurred. These in vitro studies confirm that manuka honey inhibits both planktonic and sessile (biofilm) P. aeruginosa cells through the differential regulation of key genes required for cell envelope stability and motility.
