description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 35, 1-32
description: This report describes the rescue excavation of a medieval earthwork, within which were traces of medieval and later occupation, including houses occupied in the thirteenth and fifteenth-seventeenth centuries. The earthwork itself is probably of the thirteenth century and the so-called "moats" are probably fishponds. The excavation was arranged by the Ancient Monuments Division of the Ministry of Works. The site was to be destroyed by the construction of a hotel and a double carriageway ring road within the area of the earth-work. Five men were employed for six weeks in July and August of 1955. The excavation was confined to a complete excavation of the house area, a section across the east "moat" and testing of the remainder. The finds have been deposited in Leicester Museum.

description: Quantum key distribution using weak coherent states and homodyne detection is a promising candidate for practical quantum-cryptographic implementations due to its compatibility with existing telecom equipment and high detection efficiencies. However, despite the actual simplicity of the protocol, the security analysis of this method is rather involved compared to discrete-variable QKD. In this article we review the theoretical foundations of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) with Gaussian modulation and rederive the essential relations from scratch in a pedagogical way. The aim of this paper is to be as comprehensive and self-contained as possible in order to be well intelligible even for readers with little pre-knowledge on the subject. Although the present article is a theoretical discussion of CV-QKD, its focus lies on practical implementations, taking into account various kinds of hardware imperfections and suggesting practical methods to perform the security analysis subsequent to the key exchange. Apart from a review of well known results, this manuscript presents a set of new original noise models which are helpful to get an estimate of how well a given set of hardware will perform in practice.

description: A fragment of music manuscript containing two short pieces of hitherto-unknown seventeenth-century dance music for the lyra-viol (see illus. 1 & 2) was donated in 1989 to Leicestershire Museums, Arts and Records Service. It was found in Ratby, Leicestershire, and brought to the Jewry Wall Museum by one of the present authors (DR), who had received it from a fellow member of the Museums' Archaeological Fieldwork Group. It seems to be the first discovery of its type in the county.

description: It follows from the work of Burban and Drozd arXiv:0905.1231 that for nodal curves $C$, the derived category of modules over the Auslander order $\mathcal{A}_C$ provides a categorical (smooth and proper) resolution of the category of perfect complexes $\mathrm{Perf}(C)$. On the A-side, it follows from the work of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich arXiv:1409.8611 that for punctured surfaces $X$ with stops $Λ$ at their boundary, the partially wrapped Fukaya category $\mathcal{W}(X,Λ)$ provides a categorical (smooth and proper) resolution of the compact Fukaya category $\mathcal{F}(X)$. Inspired by this analogy, we establish an equivalence between the derived category of modules over the Auslander orders over certain nodal stacky curves and partially wrapped Fukaya categories associated to punctured surfaces of arbitrary genus equipped with stops at their boundary. As an application, we deduce equivalences between derived categories of coherent sheaves (resp. perfect complexes) on such nodal stacky curves and the wrapped (resp. compact) Fukaya categories of punctured surfaces of arbitrary genus.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 50, 46-48
description: Smeeton Westerby lies 9� miles (15 km.) SE of Leicester. The SW corner of the parish is occupied by Smeeton Hill which rises to a height of 500 ft. (150 m.). The top of the hill, which is of gravelly boulder clay overlying silty light brown micaceous clay of the middle lias, consists of a plateau. The modern farm lies on the east side of this plateau and on the west was discovered the Beaker burial (SP 671912). No trace of a burial mound is visible on the ground, but the situation would be ideal for one. No previous archaeological discoveries are known from this area.

description: De plus en plus d’écrits reconnaissent l’importance de s’intéresser à la voix des apprenants en contextes éducatifs. Cela permet de bonifier les pratiques pédagogiques déployées à leur endroit (caractère pratique) de même que de contribuer au développement de nouvelles connaissances en contexte de recherche où les élèves sont des participants importants, voire des collaborateurs à la recherche. L’article proposé mettra ainsi en lumière les résultats d’une synthèse des écrits (métasynthèse) se rapportant aux outils de collecte de données les plus susceptibles de donner la voix aux enfants et aux adolescents dans l’étude du bien-être à l’école. L’article fera d’abord état des différentes façons de concevoir le bien-être, pour ensuite se centrer sur ce que représente le bien-être à l’école pour les apprenants où la qualité de la relation enseignant-élève occupe une place importante. Un portrait des outils relatifs au recueil des voix des apprenants est ensuite dressé. Les limites des outils recensés sont abordées.

description: Strictly positive logics recently attracted attention both in the description logic and in the provability logic communities for their combination of efficiency and sufficient expressivity. The language of Reflection Calculus RC consists of implications between formulas built up from propositional variables and constant `true' using only conjunction and diamond modalities which are interpreted in Peano arithmetic as restricted uniform reflection principles. We extend the language of RC by another series of modalities representing the operators associating with a given arithmetical theory T its fragment axiomatized by all theorems of T of arithmetical complexity $Π^0_n$, for all n>0. We note that such operators, in a precise sense, cannot be represented in the full language of modal logic. We formulate a formal system RC$^\nabla$ extending RC that is sound and, as we conjecture, complete under this interpretation. We show that in this system one is able to express iterations of reflection principles up to any ordinal $

description: The light curves of solar-type stars present both periodic fluctuation and flare spikes. The gradual periodic fluctuation is interpreted as the rotational modulation of magnetic features on the stellar surface and is used to deduce magnetic feature activity properties. The flare spikes in light curves are used to derive flare activity properties. In this paper, we analyze the light curve data of three solar-type stars (KIC 6034120, KIC 3118883, and KIC 10528093) observed with Kepler space telescope and investigate the relationship between their magnetic feature activities and flare activities. The analysis shows that: (1) both the magnetic feature activity and the flare activity exhibit long-term variations as the Sun does; (2) unlike the Sun, the long-term variations of magnetic feature activity and flare activity are not in phase with each other; (3) the analysis of star KIC 6034120 suggests that the long-term variations of magnetic feature activity and flare activity have a similar cycle length. Our analysis and results indicate that the magnetic features that dominate rotational modulation and the flares possibly have different source regions, although they may be influenced by the magnetic field generated through a same dynamo process.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 65, 38-54
description: In this paper the development in the understanding of Leicestershire's archaeological past starts with the first comprehensive reviews by John Throsby (1791) and John Nichols (1795-1815). Changing interpretations of the available evidence, particularly by Thomas Potter (1842) and James Thompson (1849), are then traced through the first half of the nineteenth century up to the opening of the Town Museum in 1849. Special attention is paid to a key figure at the end of this period, James Hollings, whose contribution to the understanding of Leicestershire's archaeology has hitherto been largely overlooked.

description: Most of the empirical literature on déjà vu comes from research on epilepsy, having a long history with temporal lobe epilepsy. Some people have it as part of their seizure manifestation and diagnostic schedules indicate that déjà vu can be experienced as part of a simple partial seizure (Moulin, 2017) referring to memory deficits ( in the form of impaired recollection). Déjà vu is not just a memory problem, rather it is metacognitive in nature representing clash between two simultaneous and opposing mental evaluations: an objective assessment of unfamiliarity juxtaposed with a subjective evaluation of familiarity. The idea of being aware and recognising the falseness of the current situation makes déjà vu a metacognitive or metamemory error (Brown, 2004). In addition to déjà vu, other decouplings of epistemic feelings and memory processes that can occur include jamias vu – often described as the inverse of déjà vu, a sense of unfamiliarity for a familiar stimulus and has been observed to occur in the preseizure aura of temporal lobe epilepsy (the déjà vu experience by alan brown). Similarly, tip of the tongue is another example of the similar clash of evaluation between consciousness and memory. Thus in this project we are focusing on examining the frequency and indices of déjà vu, jamais vu, tip of the tongue, error detection, zoning out and involuntary autobiographical memory. They all share same metacognitive features except for involuntary autobiographical memory.

description: Many real-world systems are characterized by stochastic dynamical rules where a complex network of interactions among individual elements probabilistically determines their state. Even with full knowledge of the network structure and of the stochastic rules, the ability to predict system configurations is generally characterized by a large uncertainty. Selecting a fraction of the nodes and observing their state may help to reduce the uncertainty about the unobserved nodes. However, choosing these points of observation in an optimal way is a highly nontrivial task, depending on the nature of the stochastic process and on the structure of the underlying interaction pattern. In this paper, we introduce a computationally efficient algorithm to determine quasioptimal solutions to the problem. The method leverages network sparsity to reduce computational complexity from exponential to almost quadratic, thus allowing the straightforward application of the method to mid-to-large-size systems. Although the method is exact only for equilibrium stochastic processes defined on trees, it turns out to be effective also for out-of-equilibrium processes on sparse loopy networks.

Using the variational method of Berman-Boucksom-Guedj-Zeriahi we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions with small unbounded locus. We give applications to Kahler-Einstein metrics with prescribed singularity, and we show that the log-concavity property holds for non-pluripolar products with small unbounded locus.

description: As part of a study of the alloy compositions of copper-alloy objects of the medieval and postmedieval periods, a group of candlesticks and candlestick fragments has been examined and sampled for metal analysis. All but one of the objects were found in Leicester, the exception being from Kirby Muxloe Castle 6km to the west of central Leicester, but usually without sufficient archaeological information to facilitate dating. It was felt that a knowledge of the alloy composition used, in conjunction with data from similar objects in other collections, might assist in the dating of the candlesticks.
On Monogamy of four qubit entanglement

description: Our main result is a monogamy inequality satisfied by the entanglement of a focus qubit (one-tangle) in a four-qubit pure state and entanglement of subsystems. Analytical relations between three-tangles of three-qubit marginal states, two-tangles of two-qubit marginal states and unitary invariants of four-qubit pure state are used to obtain the inequality. The contribution of three-tangle to one-tangle is found to be half of that suggested by a simple extension of entanglement monogamy relation for three qubits. On the other hand, an additional contribution due to a two-qubit invariant which is a function of three-way correlations is found. We also show that four-qubit monogamy inequality conjecture of ref. [PRL 113, 110501 (2014)] in which three-tangles are raised to the power (3/2), does not estimate the residual correlations, correctly. A lower bound on residual four-qubit correlations is obtained.

Автор задается вопросом – стоит ли оставить смертную казнь в прошлом как пережиток своего времени или, несмотря, на всеобщую гуманизацию, стоило бы оставить такой способ наказания в современный период времени? Чтобы ответить на данный вопрос, анализируется история возникновения смертной казни. Также рассмотрены виды реализации приговора смертной казни. Особое внимание уделено кровной мести, так как именно она положила начало смертной казни.

description: The paper addresses the exact evaluation of the generalized Stieltjes transform $S_{n}[f]=\int_0^{\infty} f(x) (ω+x)^{-n}\mathrm{d}x$ of integral order $n=1,2, 3,\dots$ about $ω=0$ from which the asymptotic behavior of $S_{n}[f]$ for small parameters $ω$ is directly extracted. An attempt to evaluate the integral by expanding the integrand $(ω+x)^{-n}$ about $ω=0$ and then naively integrating the resulting infinite series term by term lead to an infinite series whose terms are divergent integrals. Assigning values to the divergent integrals, say, by analytic continuation or by Hadamard's finite part is known to reproduce only some of the correct terms of the expansion but completely misses out a group of terms. Here we evaluate explicitly the generalized Stieltjes transform by means of finite-part integration recently introduced in [E.A. Galapon, {\it Proc. Roy. Soc. A} {\bf 473}, 20160567 (2017)]. It is shown that, when $f(x)$ does not vanish or has zero of order $m$ at the origin such that $(n-m)\geq 1$, the dominant terms of $S_{n}[f]$ as $ω\rightarrow 0$ come from contributions arising from the poles and branch points of the complex valued function $f(z) (ω+z)^{-n}$. These dominant terms are precisely the terms missed out by naive term by term integration. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how finite-part integration leads to new series representations of special functions by exploiting their known Stieltjes integral representations. Finally, the application of finite part integration in obtaining asymptotic expansions of the effective diffusivity in the limit of high Peclet number, the Green-Kubo formula for the self-diffusion coefficient and the antisymmetric part of the diffusion tensor in the weak noise limit is discussed.

description: Recent experiments show that both natural and artificial microswimmers in narrow channel-like geometries will self-organise to form steady, directed flows. This suggests that networks of flowing active matter could function as novel autonomous microfluidic devices. However, little is known about how information propagates through these far-from-equilibrium systems. Through a mathematical analogy with spin-ice vertex models, we investigate here the input-output characteristics of generic incompressible active flow networks (AFNs). Our analysis shows that information transport through an AFN is inherently different from conventional pressure or voltage driven networks. Active flows on hexagonal arrays preserve input information over longer distances than their passive counterparts and are highly sensitive to bulk topological defects, whose presence can be inferred from marginal input-output distributions alone. This sensitivity further allows controlled permutations on parallel inputs, revealing an unexpected link between active matter and group theory that can guide new microfluidic mixing strategies facilitated by active matter and aid the design of generic autonomous information transport networks.
The Railways of the Leicester Navigation Company

description: Reference to most authors on the early history of railways will reveal a mention of the railways associated with the Leicester Navigation Company, generally under the title of the Loughborough and Nanpantan Railway. The chief claim to fame of this line which has brought it to the notice of these authors seems to have been its use of cast-iron edge rails at a very early date. Even as recently as 1939, however, we find Mr. Charles E. Lee mentioning the difficulty of obtaining accurate information about this line. Since that date examination of the documents of the Company deposited in the Archives Department of the Leicester City Museums and in the British Transport Commission Archives has made it possible for the facts about this interesting venture to be assembled.
Networks of reinforced stochastic processes: asymptotics for the empirical means

description: This work deals with systems of interacting reinforced stochastic processes, where each process $X^j=(X_{n,j})_n$ is located at a vertex $j$ of a finite weighted direct graph, and it can be interpreted as the sequence of "actions" adopted by an agent $j$ of the network. The interaction among the evolving dynamics of these processes depends on the weighted adjacency matrix $W$ associated to the underlying graph: indeed, the probability that an agent $j$ chooses a certain action depends on its personal "inclination" $Z_{n,j}$ and on the inclinations $Z_{n,h}$, with $h\neq j$, of the other agents according to the elements of $W$. Asymptotic results for the stochastic processes of the personal inclinations $Z^j=(Z_{n,j})_n$ have been subject of studies in recent papers (e.g. Aletti, Crimaldi, and Ghiglietti [arXiv:1607.08514, Ann. Appl. Probab., 27(6):3787-3844, 2017]; Crimaldi, Dai Pra, Louis, and Minelli [arXiv:1602.06217, Forthcoming in Stochastic Process. Appl.]); while the asymptotic behavior of quantities based on the stochastic processes $X^j$ of the actions has never been studied yet. In this paper, we fill this gap by characterizing the asymptotic behavior of the empirical means $N_{n,j}=\sum_{k=1}^n X_{k,j}/n$, proving their almost sure synchronization and some central limit theorems in the sense of stable convergence. Moreover, we discuss some statistical applications of these convergence results concerning confidence intervals for the random limit toward which all the processes of the system converge and tools to make inference on the matrix $W$.

description: The parish of Goadby Marwood lies some five miles N.E. of Melton Mow-bray on the southern slopes of the ridge which forms the southern boundary of the Vale of Belvoir. The geological series is of the Middle Lias Marlstone some 18 ft. thick, made up of clays, shales, and thin sandy limestone through which runs a seam of ironstone which produces ore having a low iron content and a fairly high percentage of silica. In modern times this seam has been worked by hand and by machine for some 80 years. Although a few Roman finds had been made in the parish in the past and the Roman barrow in Goadby Park had been opened in the nineteenth century, it was not until the latter months of 1952 that the archreological importance of the site was realised. At this time the site was being worked by the Eastwell Iron Ore Co. and information was received from the E. Wood of Knipton that a number of well-constructed stone-lined shafts was being unearthed in the workings. From that time onwards the site was watched and a number of interesting finds and observations made which make it possible to say something about the character and history of the site.

After the removal of a rubble buttress, a carved stone was found, built horizontally into the exterior face of the wall of the north aisle. This stone was carefully extracted, by the contractor's workmen, and seen to be a portion of a rectangular cross-shaft, with an overall length of 1ft. 8� in. and with sides 9� in. by 8� in. tapering to 7� in. by 6� in. It had originally been decorated on all four surfaces, but one �side had subsequently been defaced. The other three faces of the shaft were in a fair state of preservation.

description: An experiment is proposed in which the overall path taken by a photon is indicated by the timing of a twin herald photon, while a particular segment of that path is determined by interference. The experiment is to be carried out in two parts. In the first, coincident pairs of photons generated by type I spontaneous- parametric-down-conversion are diffracted by a large-width grating to increase the coherence length of their associated waves, and to produce two sources of coincident photons. Upon experimental confirmation that coincidences have been maintained, one of the sources is used to furnish timing heralds, and the other to send photons to an unequal path interferometer. A photon path through the interferometer via the short arm is indicated by count synchronization with the herald. The exit output port used and final detection location are determined by the phase in the long arm. If output port usage can thus be controlled by the phase in the photon free arm, the path of the photon as particle will have been controlled by interference with an accompanying photon-empty wave.

description: Tree amplitudes of 10D supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) and 11D supergravity (SUGRA) are collected in multi-particle counterparts of analytic on-shell superfields. These have essentially the same form as their chiral 4D counterparts describing ${\cal N}=4$ SYM and ${\cal N}=8$ SUGRA, but with components dependent on a different set of bosonic variables. These are the D=10 and D=11 spinor helicity variables, the set of which includes the spinor frame variable (Lorentz harmonics) and a scalar density, and generalized homogeneous coordinates of the coset $\frac{SO(D-2)}{SO(D-4)\otimes U(1)}$ (internal harmonics). We present an especially convenient parametrization of the spinor harmonics (Lorentz covariant gauge fixed with the use of an auxiliary gauge symmetry) and use this to find (a gauge fixed version of) the 3-point tree superamplitudes of 10D SYM and 11D SUGRA which generalize the 4 dimensional anti-MHV superamplitudes.

description: This article presents the results of the important but hitherto unpublished excavations between 1960 and 1971 at the iron age hillfort on Burrough Hill, Leicestershire. these examined the inturned entrance, several pits in the interior and an area behind the north-western rampart. The inturned entrance had two structural phases, the latter incorporating a recessed chamber with drystone walls. radiocarbon dates show that the inturn was constructed in the fourth or third centuries cal Bc, whilst occupation in the chamber ended by the early second century cal Bc. Many of the pits were contemporary with the entrance, but there was clearly further significant activity in the hillfort in the conquest period and extensive later roman use of the site.

description: Excavations at the junction of Oxford Street and Newarke Street revealed a well-preserved sequence of archaeology reflecting prehistoric, Roman and medieval occupation. Prehistoric evidence consisted of a scatter of struck flints and a pit containing Neolithic pottery. Early Roman evidence included a pit and post-holes, in association with a complex of boundary gullies dated to the later first-early second century. During the second-third century a large boundary ditch may have delimited the back edge of plots adjacent to the Tripontium Road, which led to the South Gate of the walled town. Three contemporary burials were associated with the boundary. By the fourth century, an area of the site formed part of the southern cemetery of the Roman town, and burials were found on either side of the earlier boundary; 17 burials were revealed, many of which were arranged in well-ordered rows similar to other burials from nearby excavations, interpreted as being buried in a Christian tradition. In other respects the burials from this site were different. Many contained grave goods, while others faced west, were decapitated or were buried in a prone position - strongly suggestive of a more pagan tradition of burial. Eight of the burials were radiocarbon dated and these results have been combined with artefactual information to refine the chronology of the cemetery. Medieval activity was reflected by a spread of large refuse and cess pits, and a malting kiln. During the seventeenth/eighteenth century the area was occupied by the town's Civil War defensive earthworks, and a massive ditch running along Newarke Street was revealed. Following the disuse and infilling of this ditch a building was constructed alongside Newarke Street, relating to the early reoccupation of the south suburb following the Civil War.
The History of Alderman Newton's Boys' School, Leicester, 1836-1914

description: On the corner of Highcross Street and Peacock Lane in Leicester stands the present Alderman Newton's Boys' School. It is not an impressive building. Its Victorian drabness is not improved by the scars inflicted on it by a modem industrial city. The dirt and grime from the smoky chimneys of a town reputedly renowned for its cleanliness have settled immovably on the building's exterior. In close proximity, too, a bus station, a scrap yard and an undistinguished row of shops and offices scarcely serve as inspirations to the school. The thunder of traffic, north and south bound, produces an atmosphere even less conducive to academic work. Certainly, this establish-ment, once also the home of another famous Leicester school, the "Wyggeston Boys", has, viewed from busy Highcross Street, none of the traditional hall-marks of a seat of learning.
An Iron Age Inhumation Burial from Rushey Mead, Leicester

description: Salvage excavation during construction work in Townsend Close, Rushey Mead in 1995 revealed a pit containing human remains and associated charred plant remains, sawn antler, and a range of ceramic artefacts. Pottery suggests a date in the Late Iron Age, though a range from the mid fifth/fourth century BC - first century AD is possible. The interment may be in the southern British 'Pit Burial' tradition, perhaps with elements derived from the south-eastern 'Aylesford-Swarling' cremation practice.

description: We describe the structure of Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse $ω$-semigroups with compact maximal subgroups. In particular, we show that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse $ω$-semigroup with a compact maximal subgroup is either compact or topologically isomorphic to the topological sum of its $\mathscr{H}$-classes. We describe the structure of Hausdorff locally compact semitopological $0$-bisimple inverse $ω$-semigroups with a monothetic maximal subgroups. In particular we prove the dichotomy for $T_1$ locally compact semitopological Reilly semigroup $\left(\textbf{B}(\mathbb{Z}_{+},θ)^0,τ\right)$ with adjoined zero and with a non-annihilating homomorphism $θ\colon \mathbb{Z}_{+}\to \mathbb{Z}_{+}$: $\left(\textbf{B}(\mathbb{Z}_{+},θ)^0,τ\right)$ is either compact or discrete. At the end we discuss on the remainder under the closure of the discrete Reilly semigroup $\textbf{B}(\mathbb{Z}_{+},θ)^0$ in a semitopological semigroup.

description: We introduce a hybrid many-body approach that combines the flexibility of the No-Core Shell Model (NCSM) with the efficiency of Multi-Configurational Perturbation Theory (MCPT) to compute ground- and excited-state energies in arbitrary open-shell nuclei in large model spaces. The NCSM in small model spaces is used to define a multi-determinantal reference state that contains the most important multi-particle multi-hole correlations and a subsequent second-order MCPT correction is used to capture additional correlation effects from a large model space. We apply this new ab initio approach for the calculation of ground-state and excitation energies of even and odd-mass carbon, oxygen, and fluorine isotopes and compare to large-scale NCSM calculations that are computationally much more expensive.
