description: A series of dithiocarbamate esters of parthenolide (PTL) was designed, synthesised, and evaluated for their anti- acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) activities. The most promising compound 7l showed greatly improved potency against AML progenitor cell line KG1a with IC50 value of 0.7 μM, and the efficacy was 8.7-folds comparing to that of PTL (IC50 = 6.1 μM). Compound 7l induced apoptosis of total primary human AML cells and leukaemia stem cell (LSCs) of primary AML cells while sparing normal cells. Furthermore, 7l suppressed the colony formation of primary human leukaemia cells. Moreover, compound 12, the salt form of 7l, prolonged the lifespan of mice in two patient-derived xenograft models and had no observable toxicity. The preliminary molecular mechanism study revealed that 7l-mediated apoptosis is associated with mitogen-activated protein kinase signal pathway. On the basis of these investigations, we propose that 12 might be a promising drug candidate for ultimate discovery of anti-LSCs drug.

description: The spectral properties of a disordered system with few interacting three-dimensional spinless fermions are investigated. We show the existence of a critical spacings distribution which is invariant upon increase of the system size, but strongly depends on the number of particles. At the critical point, we report a substantial decrease of the degree of level repulsion as the number of particles increases indicating a decrease of nearest level correlations associated with the sparsity of the Hamiltonian matrix.

description: Inspired by the behavior of humans talking in noisy environments, we propose an embodied embedded cognition approach to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for robots in challenging environments, such as with ego noise, using binaural sound source localization (SSL). The approach is verified by measuring the impact of SSL with a humanoid robot head on the performance of an ASR system. More specifically, a robot orients itself toward the angle where the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of speech is maximized for one microphone before doing an ASR task. First, a spiking neural network inspired by the midbrain auditory system based on our previous work is applied to calculate the sound signal angle. Then, a feedforward neural network is used to handle high levels of ego noise and reverberation in the signal. Finally, the sound signal is fed into an ASR system. For ASR, we use a system developed by our group and compare its performance with and without the support from SSL. We test our SSL and ASR systems on two humanoid platforms with different structural and material properties. With our approach we halve the sentence error rate with respect to the common downmixing of both channels. Surprisingly, the ASR performance is more than two times better when the angle between the humanoid head and the sound source allows sound waves to be reflected most intensely from the pinna to the ear microphone, rather than when sound waves arrive perpendicularly to the membrane.

description: Throughout this document, we confirm that the inclusion of social costs in economic evaluations is quite rare, although major differences have been observed in different diseases. For example, the percentage of full economic evaluations that consider social costs (i.e. productivity losses and/or informal care costs) is 58% of the assessments identified through our search in the case of Alzheimer´s disease, but barely 11% of the identified articles in the case of rare diseases-related interventions. Moreover, wide variations have also been found with respect to the changes in the results and conclusions of the economic evaluations. The consideration of social costs changed results of a 18%-30% of the economic evaluations, depending on the case study considered. However, the changes in conclusions were modest. More precisely, the conclusions changed in 4% of the economic evaluations in rare diseases, but almost 15% of the healthcare interventions related to multiple sclerosis modified their conclusions once productivity losses or informal care costs were considered.

description: We use Monte Carlo techniques and analytical methods to study the phase diagram of multicomponent Widom-Rowlinson models on a square lattice: there are M species all with the same fugacity z and a nearest neighbor hard core exclusion between unlike particles. Simulations show that for M between two and six there is a direct transition from the gas phase at z < z_d (M) to a demixed phase consisting mostly of one species at z > z_d (M) while for M \geq 7 there is an intermediate ``crystal phase'' for z lying between z_c(M) and z_d(M). In this phase, which is driven by entropy, particles, independent of species, preferentially occupy one of the sublattices, i.e. spatial symmetry but not particle symmetry is broken. The transition at z_d(M) appears to be first order for M \geq 5 putting it in the Potts model universality class. For large M the transition between the crystalline and demixed phase at z_d(M) can be proven to be first order with z_d(M) \sim M-2 + 1/M + ..., while z_c(M) is argued to behave as μ_{cr}/M, with μ_{cr} the value of the fugacity at which the one component hard square lattice gas has a transition, and to be always of the Ising type. Explicit calculations for the Bethe lattice with the coordination number q=4 give results similar to those for the square lattice except that the transition at z_d(M) becomes first order at M>2. This happens for all q, consistent with the model being in the Potts universality class.

description: Humans are critical for the creation and maintenance of high-quality Knowledge Graphs (KGs). However, creating and maintaining large KGs only with humans does not scale, especially for contributions based on multimedia (e.g. images) that are hard to find and reuse on the Web and expensive to generate by humans from scratch. Therefore, we leverage generative AI for the task of creating images for Wikidata items that do not have them. Our approach uses knowledge contained in Wikidata triples of items describing fictional characters and uses the fine-tuned T5 model based on the WDV dataset to generate natural text descriptions of items about fictional characters with missing images. We use those natural text descriptions as prompts for a transformer-based text-to-image model, Stable Diffusion v2.1, to generate plausible candidate images for Wikidata image completion. We design and implement quantitative and qualitative approaches to evaluate the plausibility of our methods, which include conducting a survey to assess the quality of the generated images.

Catholic print networks in Restoration England, 1660-1688
Creators: name: Reutcke, Chelsea Anne
Publisher: name: The University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the activities of those who engaged in the Catholic print trade, primarily in London, throughout the reigns of Charles II and James VII & II. It proposes that there persisted a small, but thriving, market in Catholic books produced in London, particularly around Somerset House, that served England and Wales. This Catholic print trade functioned through a series of cross-confessional networks built on commercial, geographical, religious, and social bonds. These networks involved avowed Catholics and Protestants as well as a number of printers and booksellers with unknown or shifting religious affiliations. The trade was aided by the social and legal ambiguity over what made a text ‘popish’, and this sometimes enabled ostensibly ‘Catholic’ books to become bestsellers. To produce and disperse the printed works, networks used methods common to missionary and recusant populations as well as the illicit book trade. However, the operation of the trade also reflected Restoration-era developments and an awareness of the post-1660 legal context, including the 1662 Licensing Act. Changes in the political situation continued to alter these networks, most significantly during the Popish Plot and ‘tory reaction’ and the reign of the Catholic James VII & II. In particular, the latter superimposed a more homogeneously Catholic, royally backed network onto the market. By reconstructing the networks of people who produced Catholic texts, this thesis restores the agency of many Catholics, fleshing out the lives of previously obscure bookmen while simultaneously offering reassessments of major figures including James and Catherine of Braganza. At the same time, it demonstrates the benefits of placing Catholics’ experiences within a broader English context and showcases the multifaceted relationships between early modern persons. Finally, it offers a basis for exploring overlapping English Catholic and English Protestant public spheres by showing how, even when illicit, Catholic print never existed in isolation.

description: The polarity distribution of water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) is believed to play an important role in determining the water uptake properties of aerosol particles. The 1-octanol − water partitioning method has been proposed as a method for classifying WSOM by polarity. However, the broad partitioning functions of the method make it difficult to estimate polarity distribution. In this study, a data inversion technique was developed to determine the polarity distributions of WSOM. The inversion technique was evaluated against artificially generated polarity distributions with corresponding uncertainties. In addition, the technique was combined with positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis of the aerosol mass spectrometric data, allowing an estimation of the polarity distribution of the PMF factors. The technique was applied to WSOM generated by smoldering mosquito coils. As the 1-octanol − water partitioning coefficients of WSOM correlate well with water solubility, future application of this method to the investigation of hygroscopic growth and cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) activity will help to quantitatively connect the chemical characteristics and water uptake properties of WSOM.

We considered electrically charged, magnetically charged and dyon solutions. We can solve analytically for the magnetically charged case. We find that they have some remarkable properties about causality and black hole thermodynamics depending on the coupling constant of the EH theory $a$ and $b$, though they have central singularity as in the Schwarzschild black hole.

description: An araban-rich polysaccharide was extracted from dry, sugar-free beet pulp with hot saturated aqueous calcium hydroxide. Hydrolysis followed by chroma to graphic analysis of the araban gave arabinose and galactose in approximately equal proportions, together with smaller quantities of galacturonic acid and rhamnose. The araban was acetylated and then fractionated by a chromatographic method involving adsorption on a charcoal column, followed by gradient elution with acetone/chlorofom, increasing the proportion of the latter, and finally using pyridine as the eluting agent. Catalytic oxidation of the araban was then carried out in aqueous solution by means of gaseous oxygen in presence of finely divided platinum (Adams’ catalyst), the temperature and pH of the solution being controlled. One of the samples of oxidised araban was subjected to controlled hydrolysis, the course of the reaction being followed polarimetrically. The increase in uronic anhydride content of the araban on oxidation was lower than expected* The catalytic oxidation procedure was then applied to the methyl glycoside a-methyl-g-mannoside as a check. The oxidation was in this case successful, and the corresponding hexuronic acid methyl glycoside, a-methyl-D-mannuronoside was isolated and characterised. Preliminary periodate oxidative studies were then followed by an application of the Smith degradation, involving oxidation of the araban with periodate, reduction of the oxypolysaccharide with borohydride, and finally mild hydrolysis of the "polyalcohol" so produced. Oxidations of araban with permanganate were also carried out. Both small and large scale extractions were carried out. Bellowing a preliminary extraction of the milled hop leaves with organic solvents, the pectin was extracted from the residual "hop straw" in two fractions, using first boiling water and then dilute aqueous ammonium oxalate. Both fractions gave on hydrolysis galacturonic acid, galactose, and arabinose as the main components, and also smaller quantities of rhamnose and an unidentified sugar which may have been galactobiose. The extracted material was grossly contaminated and several methods of purification were applied. The most successful of these was treatment with cold trichloroacetic acid.

description: We present a new data release from the Fiber Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS)-COSMOS survey, which contains the measurements of spectroscopic redshift and flux of rest-frame optical emission lines (H$α$, [NII], [SII], H$β$, [OIII]) for 1931 galaxies out of a total of 5484 objects observed over the 1.7 deg$^2$ COSMOS field. We obtained $H$-band and $J$-band medium-resolution ($R\sim3000$) spectra with FMOS mounted on the Subaru telescope, which offers an in-fiber line flux sensitivity limit of $\sim 1 \times 10^{-17}~\mathrm{erg~s^{-1}~cm^{-2}}$ for an on-source exposure time of five hours. The full sample contains the main population of star-forming galaxies at $z\sim1.6$ over the stellar mass range $10^{9.5}\lesssim M_\ast/M_\odot \lesssim 10^{11.5}$, as well as other subsamples of infrared-luminous galaxies detected by Spitzer and Herschel at the same and lower ($z\sim0.9$) redshifts and X-ray emitting galaxies detected by Chandra. This paper presents an overview of our spectral analyses, a description of the sample characteristics, and a summary of the basic properties of emission-line galaxies. We use the larger sample to re-define the stellar mass--star formation rate relation based on the dust-corrected H$α$ luminosity, and find that the individual galaxies are better fit with a parametrization including a bending feature at $M_\ast\approx10^{10.2}~M_\odot$, and that the intrinsic scatter increases with $M_\ast$ from 0.19 to $0.37$ dex. We also confirm with higher confidence that the massive ($M_\ast\gtrsim10^{10.5}~M_\odot$) galaxies are chemically mature as much as local galaxies with the same stellar masses, and that the massive galaxies have lower [SII]/H$α$ ratios for their [OIII]/H$β$, as compared to local galaxies, which is indicative of enhancement in ionization parameter.

description: Economic evaluations are becoming of utmost importance to help policymakers in the allocation of scarce health care resources. One of the areas of greatest methodological discussion, with potential implications for decision making regarding reimbursement, pricing and rational use of health technologies, is the type of perspective to include in such evaluations. Although some countries have decided to restrict economic evaluations to the healthcare payer perspective, others consider that not taking into account a wider perspective could mean leaving out of the analysis costs and effects relevant to individual and societal well-being and then could bias health policies.
Accelerated Expansion as Predicted by an Ether Theory of Gravitation

description: Cosmology is investigated within a new, scalar theory of gravitation, which is a preferred-frame bimetric theory with flat background metric. Before coming to cosmology, the motivation for an " ether theory " is exposed at length; the investigated concept of ether is presented: it is a compressible fluid, and gravity is seen as Archimedes' thrust due to the pressure gradient in that fluid. The construction of the theory is explained and the current status of the experimental confrontation is analysed, both in some detail. An analytical cosmological solution is obtained for a general form of the energy-momentum tensor. According to that theory, expansion is necessarily accelerated, both by vacuum and even by matter. In one case, the theory predicts expansion, the density increasing without limit as time goes back to infinity. High density is thus obtained in the past, without a big-bang singularity. In the other case, the Universe follows a sequence of (non-identical) contraction-expansion cycles, each with finite maximum energy density; the current expansion phase will end by infinite dilution in some six billions of years. The density ratio of the present cycle (ratio of the maximum to current densities) is not determined by the current density and the current Hubble constant H0, unless a special assumption is made. Since cosmological redshifts approaching z = 4 are observed, the density ratio should be at least 100. From this and the estimate of H0, the time spent since the maximum density is constrained to be larger than several hundreds of billions of years. Yet if a high density ratio, compatible with the standard explanation for the light elements and the 2.7 K radiation, is assumed, then the age of the Universe is much larger still.

description: We present the physical properties of EPIC 245932119 ($K_{\rm p}$ = $+$9.82) exhibiting both eclipses and pulsations from the {\it K{\rm 2}} photometry. The binary modeling indicates that the eclipsing system is in detached or semi-detached configurations with a mass ratio of 0.283 or 0.245, respectively, and that its light-curve parameters are almost unaffected by pulsations. Multiple frequency analyses were performed for the light residuals in the outside-primary eclipsing phase after subtracting the binarity effects from the observed data. We detected 35 frequencies with signal to noise amplitude ratios larger than 4.0 in two regions of 0.62$-$6.28 day$^{-1}$ and 19.36$-$24.07 day$^{-1}$. Among these, it is possible that some high signals close to the Nyquist limit $f_{\rm Ny}$ may be reflections of real pulsation frequencies (2$f_{\rm Ny}-f_i$). All frequencies ($f_8$, $f_9$, $f_{14}$, $f_{18}$, $f_{24}$, $f_{32}$) in the lower frequency region are orbital harmonics, and three high frequencies ($f_{19}$, $f_{20}$, $f_{22}$) appear to be sidelobes split from the main frequency of $f_1$ = 22.77503 day$^{-1}$. Most of them are thought to be alias effects caused by the orbital frequency. For the 26 other frequencies, the pulsation periods and pulsation constants are in the ranges of 0.041$-$0.052 days and 0.013$-$0.016 days, respectively. These values and the position in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram reveal that the primary component is a $δ$ Sct pulsator. The observational properties of EPIC 245932119 are in good agreement with those for eclipsing binaries with $δ$ Sct-type pulsating components.

“Can a Hybrid Approach to Indian Kathak and Jazz Dance Techniques Assist in Devising a Pedagogic Method for Contemporary Dancers?”.
Creators: name: Ghose, Shambik
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2025

description: The blending of dance styles for creativity is an established practice within hybridity. Traditional and contemporary dancers/dances are recognised for their diverse training methods and performance approaches. I was curious about learning their modes of operation in hybrid, artistic and training practices. In developing a research inquiry, I excavated that the training and performance processes/philosophy in traditional dance reveal a rigid approach, that limits the extent to which practitioners can experiment. In response to this strict attitude, my Ph.D. through practice as research investigates the development of a somatic approach to the hybridization of the traditional dance techniques of South Asian Kathak and Western Jazz dance, in an attempt to define a hybrid, dance, pedagogic method and movement system for traditional and contemporary dancers. This thesis contextualises the studio-based, research practice undertaken throughout 4-years. It provides a dialogue surrounding the development of new approaches in somatic pedagogy. The methods drawn from somatic research and pedagogic approaches the hybrid, dance, pedagogic, strategy that emerges, is embedded in the theoretical and conceptual domain of hybridity, phenomenology and auto-ethnography. The research practice, whilst drawing on the ideologies of critical pedagogies and research, systematically questions the current structures in traditional and contemporary dance pedagogy and practice. As a contribution to existing knowledge, the research attempts a somatic dance training method for traditional dancers arising from the self-subjective discovery of the body. The method aims to propose autonomy to the artists in democratically exploring their embodied knowledge through modes of reflective and experiential learning. Contemporary dancers are generally more versed in reflective practices and somatic training methods. Recognising this given facility, it is the hybrid, dance, pedagogic method that arises from hybridising culturally defined and distinctive traditional techniques of Kathak and Jazz dance. This new knowledge emerges despite the aim being to predominantly support ‘traditional’ dance modes, the method also extends itself to training and performance strategies in contemporary dance. This thesis supports the practice research and should be read alongside the practical submission. Threaded through the thesis are web links where videos of the practice research are held, including a lecture demonstration which constitutes the final submission as part of the PhD viva examination.

description: We use the numerical renormalization group method to study an Anderson impurity in a conduction band with the density of states varying as rho(omega) \propto |omega|^r with r>0. We find two different fixed points: a local-moment fixed point with the impurity effectively decoupled from the band and a strong-coupling fixed point with a partially screened impurity spin. The specific heat and the spin-susceptibility show powerlaw behaviour with different exponents in strong-coupling and local-moment regime. We also calculate the impurity spectral function which diverges (vanishes) with |omega|^{-r} (|ω|^r) in the strong-coupling (local moment) regime.

description: This paper explores the effect of the #MeToo movement on sexual assault discourse and social norms in legal discourse in the United States through a case study of Commonwealth v. William Henry Cosby Jr., a trial that occurred both before and after the emergence of the movement. Specifically, to what extent did #MeToo affect sexual assault culture and discussions around it in legal settings? Using Kukla’s (2014) theoretical framework of Discursive Injustice (DI) in order to analyze portions of Commonwealth v. Cosby, I observe the level of performative power the complainant in the trial, Andrea Constand, is able to express and the frequency with which her expression is limited by other actors, namely defense lawyers. I find that the largest changes in aggressiveness and frequency of DI between the 2017 and 2018 portions of the trial occur during juxtapositions between Constand and “victim” stereotypes of sexual assault. This shift suggests a larger social change in community conventions regarding stereotypes and expectations of sexual assault survivors. This paper augments the growing literatures on the impact of the #MeToo movement on sexual assault culture and DI as a theory of linguistic and social power.

description: We present a thorough analysis of symmetry breaking observed in Hartree-Fock (HF) solutions of fullerenes C$_{60}$, C$_{36}$, and C$_{20}$ in order to characterize the nature of electron correlation in them. Our analysis is based on (1) the critical regularization strength to restore symmetry breaking in the recently developed regularized orbital optimized second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory ($κ$-OOMP2), (2) singlet-triplet gaps from various MP2 methods, and (3) natural orbital occupation numbers from restricted coupled-cluster with singles and doubles (RCCSD) and coupled-cluster valence bond with singles and doubles (CCVB-SD). Based on these three independent probes, we conclude that C$_{36}$ (D$_\text{6h}$) exhibits genuine strong correlation and symmetry breaking whereas C$_{60}$ exhibits {\it artificial} HF symmetry breaking and is not strongly correlated. Investigating the critical regularization strength, we discuss strong correlation in C$_{20}$ at the Jahn-Teller distorted geometries (C$_\text{2h}$, D$_\text{2h}$, C$_\text{i}$, and D$_\text{3h}$) and the I$_\text{h}$ geometry. Only C$_{20}$ (I$_\text{h}$) was found to be strongly correlated while others exhibit {\it artificial} HF symmetry breaking. This analysis highlights a useful feature of the recommended $κ$-OOMP2 method. It is an electronic structure method that describes dynamic correlation, and attenuates strong correlation in MP2 towards zero by regularization. Therefore, $κ$-OOMP2 will exhibit symmetry breaking in its reference determinant only when correlation is strong (i.e., essential symmetry breaking). Artificial symmetry breaking (arising in HF due to neglect of dynamic correlation) is thus removed in $κ$-OOMP2.

description: In this paper we review the experimental and observational searches for stable, massive, elementary particles other than the electron and proton. The particles may be neutral, may have unit charge or may have fractional charge. They may interact through the strong, electromagnetic, weak or gravitational forces or through some unknown force. The purpose of this review is to provide a guide for future searches - what is known, what is not known, and what appear to be the most fruitful areas for new searches. A variety of experimental and observational methods such as accelerator experiments, cosmic ray studies, searches for exotic particles in bulk matter and searches using astrophysical observations is included in this review.

description: The banking sector holds a pivotal position in driving the economic machinery of any nation. Recognizing the imperative of ensuring efficient financial performance, governments often initiate reform processes to forestall bank distress and enhance stability. In Nigeria, such reforms are integral to the strategic agenda of the government, aimed at repositioning and integrating the Nigerian banking sector into the broader African regional and global financial landscape. This paper examines the evolution and dynamics of the Nigerian banking sector, particularly in light of reforms aimed at bolstering its soundness and resilience.Over the years, the Nigerian banking sector has undergone significant transformations, as noted by Akpan (2007), encompassing shifts in the number of institutions, ownership structures, and the scope of operations. These changes have been chiefly propelled by challenges stemming from financial sector deregulation, globalization of operations, technological advancements, and the enforcement of supervisory and prudential standards aligned with international regulations

description: Vertical and lateral heterostructures of van der Waals materials provide tremendous flexibility for band structure engineering. Since electronic bands are sensitively affected by defects, strain, and interlayer coupling, the edge and heterojunction of these two-dimensional (2D) systems may exhibit novel physical properties, which can be fully revealed only by spatially resolved probes. Here, we report the spatial mapping of photoconductivity in a monolayer-bilayer WSe2 lateral heterostructure under multiple excitation lasers. As the photon energy increases, the light-induced conductivity detected by microwave impedance microscopy first appears along the hetero-interface and bilayer edge, then along the monolayer edge, inside the bilayer area, and finally in the interior of the monolayer region. The sequential emergence of mobile carriers in different sections of the sample is consistent with the theoretical calculation of local energy gaps. Quantitative analysis of the microscopy and transport data also reveals the linear dependence of photoconductivity on the laser intensity and the influence of interlayer coupling on carrier recombination. Combining theoretical modeling, atomic scale imaging, mesoscale impedance microscopy, and device-level characterization, our work suggests an exciting perspective to control the intrinsic band-gap variation in 2D heterostructures down to the few-nanometer regime.

Logarithmic Corrections to Black Hole Entropy from the Cardy Formula

description: Many recent attempts to calculate black hole entropy from first principles rely on conformal field theory techniques. By examining the logarithmic corrections to the Cardy formula, I compute the first-order quantum correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in several models, including those based on asymptotic symmetries, horizon symmetries, and certain string theories. Despite very different physical assumptions, these models all give a correction proportional to the logarithm of the horizon size, and agree qualitatively with recent results from ``quantum geometry'' in 3+1 dimensions. There are some indications that even the coefficient of the correction may be universal, up to differences that depend on the treatment of angular momentum and conserved charges.

description: To identify the mutational spectrum of 63 northwest Chinese probands with Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), and identify correlations between phenotype and genotype. We recruited 63 clinically diagnosed with OCA patients in Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. Mutation screening analysis was performed by direct sequencing and NGS-target sequencing to screen the variants on genes related to OCA. PolyPhen2 and PROVEN tools were used to predict the possible functional role of the novel variants. We assessed the pathogenicity of the novel mutations according to the clinical interpretation of genetic variants by ACMG/AMP 2015 guideline. By molecular testing, 56 of the OCA probands were diagnosed as OCA 1, three were OCA 2 and one was OCA 4. The most common variants of TYR were c.929insC(33.7%), c.896 G > A(12.5%), c.832 C > T(9.6%).We found five novel variants of TYR that have not previously been reported. We make an accurate diagnosis and classification for the OCA probands. Our result enlarged the mutational spectrum of TYR and SLC45A2. These findings could be useful for genetic counseling and gene diagnosis of OCA in Northwest of China.

description: We analyze the evolution of hydrodynamic fluctuations in a heavy ion collision as the system passes close to the QCD critical point. We introduce two small dimensionless parameters $λ$ and $Δ_s$ to characterize the evolution. $λ$ compares the microscopic relaxation time (away from the critical point) to the expansion rate $λ\equiv τ_0/τ_Q$, and $Δ_s$ compares the baryon to entropy ratio, $n/s$, to its critical value, $Δ_s\equiv (n/s - n_c/s_c)/(n_c/s_c)$. We determine how the evolution of critical hydrodynamic fluctuations depends parametrically on $λ$ and $Δ_s$. Finally, we use this parametric reasoning to estimate the critical fluctuations and correlation length for a heavy ion collision, and to give guidance to the experimental search for the QCD critical point.
