description: In a PN junction, the separation between positive and negative charges leads to diode transport. In the past few years, the intrinsic diode transport in noncentrosymmetric polar conductors has attracted great interest, because it suggests novel nonlinear applications and provides a symmetry-sensitive probe of Fermi surface. Recently, such studies have been extended to noncentrosymmetric superconductors, realizing the superconducting diode effect. Here, we show that, even in a centrosymmetric crystal without directional charge separation, the spins of an antiferromagnet (AFM) can generate a spatial directionality, leading to an AFM diode effect. We observe large second-harmonic transport in a nonlinear electronic device enabled by the compensated AFM state of even-layered MnBi2Te4. We also report a novel electrical sum-frequency generation (SFG), which has been rarely explored in contrast to the well-known optical SFG in wide-gap insulators. We demonstrate that the AFM enables an in-plane field-effect transistor and harvesting of wireless electromagnetic energy. The electrical SFG establishes a powerful method to study nonlinear electronics built by quantum materials. The AFM diode effect paves the way for potential device concepts including AFM logic circuits, self-powered AFM spintronics, and other applications that potentially bridge nonlinear electronics with AFM spintronics.

augmenting a Cattell-Horn-Carroll-based ability assessment with dynamic testing, using self-regulated learning: a mixed methods study of children with learning difficulties
Creators: name: Teo, Pearly Swee Gek
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The purpose of this research study was to develop a hybrid assessment approach, as an augmentation of Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) assessment of abilities with dynamic testing using Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) (Augmented Assessment). The augmented approach integrates the strengths of three previously separate theories. Augmented Assessment (AA) is intended to give a better evaluation of the propensity of learning and cognitive abilities among children at risk of learning disabilities (LD). To do this, AA follows a test-learn-test design in which the learning phase involves promoting SRL through mediated learning experience and thinking aloud. Three CHC areas were investigated: fluid reasoning (Gf), short-term and working memory (Gsm), and writing (Grw-writing). All participants were selected as being at risk of learning difficulties based on the Australian national literacy assessment. The study used an embedded mixed methodology. The quantitative phase involved an experimental design of 50 children aged 10-12, with two groups of children undergoing different assessment types (AA versus static testing only). Two different areas were examined: cognitive performance and problem-solving behaviours. The qualitative phase involved the collection and analysis of verbalisations and learning interactions of 12 children during dynamic testing. As hypothesised, results of the study showed that dynamic testing using SRL impacted on Grw-writing. However, although hypothesised, there was insufficient evidence to show that there were significant differences between the assessment groups on Gf or Gsm test performance. As expected, a significant difference was found between the groups on self-regulatory, interactive problem-solving behaviours in all three CHC areas. Qualitative analysis of SRL verbalisations further revealed nuances in the changes among four different clusters of children. Ten themes were derived through cross-case analysis, with one key theme revealing that SRL difficulties and aptitude displayed by children during the dynamic testing situation were absent during static ability assessment. Correlational analyses based on 12 children in the experimental group revealed different significant inter-correlations between static and dynamic testing data of CHC abilities, SRL, and mediated learning experiences. Self-regulation and CHC abilities appeared to be distinct yet related malleable constructs, this having significant implications for the assessment and intervention of learning difficulties and abilities.

description: Monitoring circulating progesterone concentration (P4) is an important component of basic and applied reproduction re­search and clinical settings. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is con­sidered the gold standard method for measuring P4 in cattle blood, but it generates radioactive waste, has low throughput, and requires licensed facilities. Immulite® 2000XPI (Siemens) is a fully automated immunoassay system marketed for human use to measure concentrations of different analytes including P4. Our objectives were therefore to: 1) validate cattle serum P4 measurement with the Immulite 2000XPI; 2) characterize the analytical performance of the Immulite 2000XPI P4 immunoas­say (IPI) across the reportable concentration range.

description: Neutrino trident production of di-lepton pairs is well recognized as a sensitive probe of both electroweak physics and physics beyond the Standard Model. Although a rare process, it could be significantly boosted by such new physics, and it also allows the electroweak theory to be tested in a new regime. We demonstrate that the forward neutrino physics program at the Large Hadron Collider offers a promising opportunity to measure for the first time, dimuon neutrino tridents with a statistical significance exceeding $5σ$. We present predictions for various proposed experiments and outline a specific experimental strategy to identify the signal and mitigate backgrounds, based on "reverse tracking" dimuon pairs in the FASER$ν$2 detector. We also discuss prospects for constraining beyond Standard Model contributions to neutrino trident rates at high energies.

description: In this series of works, we study exactly solvable non-unitary time evolutions in one-dimensional quantum critical systems ranging from quantum quenches to time-dependent drivings. In this part I, we are motivated by the recent works of Kontsevich and Segal [1] and Witten [2] on allowable complex spacetime metrics in quantum field theories. In general, such complex spacetime metrics will lead to non-unitary time evolutions. In this work, we study the universal features of such non-unitary time evolutions based on exactly solvable setups. Various physical quantities including entanglement Hamiltonian and entanglement spectrum, entanglement entropy, and energy density at an arbitrary time can be exactly solved. Due to the damping effect introduced by the complex time, the excitations in the initial state are gradually damped out in time. The non-equilibrium dynamics exhibits universal features that are qualitatively different from the case of real-time evolutions. For instance, for an infinite system after a global quench, the entanglement entropy of the semi-infinite subsystem will grow logarithmically in time, in contrast to the linear growth in a real-time evolution. Moreover, we study numerically the time-dependent driven quantum critical systems with allowable complex spacetime metrics. It is found that the competition between driving and damping leads to a steady state with an interesting entanglement structure.

description: On-animal sensors (OAS) are utilized to monitor behavioral and physiological characteristics remotely, allowing producers and veterinarians to make inference about the health and reproduc­tive status of livestock. Breeding soundness evaluations (BSEs) performed on bulls prior to the breeding season are useful for identifying preexisting conditions, however, these are not reli­able for identifying breeding impediments (e.g., lameness) that develop during the breeding season which can result in subfer­tility or even infertility. Thus, there is potential for the applica­tion of OAS for the monitoring of beef bulls during breeding, however, relatively little research has been done on this topic. The objective of this study was to characterize retention and functional recovery for different OAS on beef bulls during the breeding season. In addition, we explored potential risk factors associated with retention and functional recovery.

description: We develop a classical two-dimensional bi-scalar gravity based on the Kaluza-Klein reduction applied to the four-dimensional Horndeski theory. One of the scalar fields arises from the original four-dimensional theory, while the extra scalar emerges from the reduction process. We also introduce a two-dimensional bi-scalar identity that allows for a more concise and elegant reformulation of the resulting bi-scalar Lagrangian. Additionally, we study the linear perturbations around a static background to demonstrate that the bi-scalar theory may support a single healthy propagating mode. Furthermore, by restricting the scalar fields, we investigate a general single scalar theory that is identical to the two-dimensional Horndeski theory up to a boundary term. Our results provide a framework to map a generic two-dimensional dilaton gravity into four-dimensional Horndeski theory.

description: Machine learning models can inherit biases from their training data, leading to discriminatory or inaccurate predictions. This is particularly concerning with the increasing use of large, unsupervised datasets for training foundational models. Traditionally, demographic biases within these datasets have not been well-understood, limiting our ability to understand how they propagate to the models themselves. To address this issue, this paper investigates the propagation of demographic biases from datasets into machine learning models. We focus on the gender demographic component, analyzing two types of bias: representational and stereotypical. For our analysis, we consider the domain of facial expression recognition (FER), a field known to exhibit biases in most popular datasets. We use Affectnet, one of the largest FER datasets, as our baseline for carefully designing and generating subsets that incorporate varying strengths of both representational and stereotypical bias. Subsequently, we train several models on these biased subsets, evaluating their performance on a common test set to assess the propagation of bias into the models' predictions. Our results show that representational bias has a weaker impact than expected. Models exhibit a good generalization ability even in the absence of one gender in the training dataset. Conversely, stereotypical bias has a significantly stronger impact, primarily concentrated on the biased class, although it can also influence predictions for unbiased classes. These results highlight the need for a bias analysis that differentiates between types of bias, which is crucial for the development of effective bias mitigation strategies.

description: The notion of Lyndon word and Lyndon factorization has shown to have unexpected applications in theory as well in developing novel algorithms on words. A counterpart to these notions are those of inverse Lyndon word and inverse Lyndon factorization. Differently from the Lyndon words, the inverse Lyndon words may be bordered. The relationship between the two factorizations is related to the inverse lexicographic ordering, and has only been recently explored. More precisely, a main open question is how to get an inverse Lyndon factorization from a classical Lyndon factorization under the inverse lexicographic ordering, named CFLin. In this paper we reveal a strong connection between these two factorizations where the border plays a relevant role. More precisely, we show two main results. We say that a factorization has the border property if a nonempty border of a factor cannot be a prefix of the next factor. First we show that there exists a unique inverse Lyndon factorization having the border property. Then we show that this unique factorization with the border property is the so-called canonical inverse Lyndon factorization, named ICFL. By showing that ICFL is obtained by compacting factors of the Lyndon factorization over the inverse lexicographic ordering, we provide a linear time algorithm for computing ICFL from CFLin.

description: Puerperal metritis (PM) is a common infectious disease in dairy cattle. Currently there are discrepancies between clinical case definitions within and between available peer-reviewed literature and on-farms practices. The inconsistent use of PM criteria across studies and on-farm practices can result in disparities related to recommendations for treating cows, af­fecting judicious use of antimicrobials. Our objective was to systematically review literature for clinical signs used as diag­nostic criteria for PM, including local (e.g., vaginal discharge) and systemic signs of infection (e.g., fever, drop in milk).

title: An exploration of student teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and attitudes towards the inclusion of autistic learners
Creators: name: Fernandes, Lisa
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This research aimed to explore student teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and attitudes towards the inclusion of autistic learners. Adopting an ethics of care approach, this research was conducted with ten student teachers in a large college in North-East England. Participants (student teachers) were enrolled in a PGCE within the postcompulsory education sector. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and thematically analysed using Braun & Clarke’s (2006) framework. The analysis indicated that although student teachers were positive in their attitude towards inclusion, they had some concerns over their ability to include autistic learners. The main external factors impacting inclusive practice with respect to autistic learners, identified by participants were time, resources, and support. The recommendations do not address the external factors impacting inclusive practice with respect to autistic learners, for example, time, which cannot be solved through initial teacher education, however, there are changes that can be made to ITE programmes. The key recommendations from this study are the introduction of autistic guest speakers on the PGCE programme and collaboration with autistic people to develop its curriculum content to support future teachers feeling prepared to include autistic learners. Enhanced opportunities to interact with autistic learners through peer observations and further collaboration with mentors to support inclusive practice is also proposed through the development of Communities of Practice (CoP).

description: The reptation Monte Carlo algorithm is a simple, physically motivated and efficient method for equilibrating semi-dilute solutions of linear polymers. Here we propose two simple generalizations for the analogue {\it Amoeba} algorithm for randomly branching chains, which allow to efficiently deal with random trees with controlled branching activity. We analyse the rich relaxation dynamics of Amoeba algorithms and demonstrate the existence of an unexpected scaling regime for the tree relaxation. In particular, our results suggests that the equilibration time for Amoeba algorithms scales in general like $N^2 \langle n_{\rm lin}\rangle^Δ$, where $N$ denotes the number of tree nodes, $\langle n_{\rm lin}\rangle$ the mean number of linear segments the trees are composed of and $Δ\simeq 0.4$.

description: The demand for processing vast volumes of data has surged dramatically due to the advancement of machine learning technology. Large-scale data processing necessitates substantial computational resources, prompting individuals and enterprises to turn to cloud services. Accompanying this trend is a growing concern regarding data leakage and misuse. Homomorphic encryption (HE) is one solution for safeguarding data privacy, enabling encrypted data to be processed securely in the cloud. However, the encryption and decryption routines of some HE schemes require considerable computational resources, presenting non-trivial work for clients. In this paper, we propose an outsourced decryption protocol for the prevailing RLWE-based fully homomorphic encryption schemes. The protocol splits the original decryption into two routines, with the computationally intensive part executed remotely by the cloud. Its security relies on an invariant of the NTRU-search problem with a newly designed blinding key distribution. Cryptographic analyses are conducted to configure protocol parameters across varying security levels. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves up to a $67\%$ acceleration in the client's local decryption, accompanied by a $50\%$ reduction in space usage.

title: To what extent does UK Government policy discourse shape the professional identity of teachers in England?
Creators: name: Carabine, Paul Anthony James
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: A strong sense of professional identity is vital for a teacher’s understanding, engagement and commitment to their role and helps them make sense of their work and wider relationships. It is also a key element in the development of agency and career stability. Understanding teacher professional identity helps policymakers make sense of how teachers commit to, and engage with, policy making formulation and enhances implementation. This research study ascertains the main characteristics of teacher professional identity through a review of the existing literature. Guided by Michel Foucault’s theory of power, it uses critical discourse analysis of 32 policy texts to uncover the way that government policy discourse may shape this identity. Through semistructured interviews with 12 practising teachers, the study evaluates the extent to which policy discourse shapes teacher identity of secondary school teachers in England. Findings suggest four characteristics of teacher professional identity: the self; knowledge of the subject discipline and how to engage pupils in this; the impact of experience; and the centrality of emotions, both in seeing teaching as a vocation and engaging student emotions. The critical discourse analysis indicates government policy discourse presents teachers in a negative light in a consistent and sustained manner. Far from being afforded professional status, teaching is presented as a technical skill with teachers charged with inadequacy and failing pupils through an unthinking enthralment to progressive pedagogies and an unwillingness to reform. Greater accountability within a reformed autonomous corporate structure with teachers taking more responsibility for social and economic policy are central planks of this reform agenda. Interviews with teachers suggest that teacher professional identity is indeed shaped by government policy discourse, but not in the way policymakers may hope. Teachers consistently push back on claims of inadequacy and embrace their professional status. Policymakers’ claims of the dominance of progressive ideologies is dismissed by a pragmatic approach to classroom practice. Far from shaping the teaching profession, policy discourse highlights deep misunderstandings between the profession and policymakers entrenching teacher identity further away from policy objectives.

description: Gradient aggregation has long been identified as a major bottleneck in today's large-scale distributed machine learning training systems. One promising solution to mitigate such bottlenecks is gradient compression, directly reducing communicated gradient data volume. However, in practice, many gradient compression schemes do not achieve acceleration of the training process while also preserving accuracy.
 In this work, we identify common issues in previous gradient compression systems and evaluation methodologies. These include excessive computational overheads; incompatibility with all-reduce; and insufficient evaluation methods, such as not using an end-to-end metric or using a 32-bit baseline instead of the stronger 16-bit baseline. We revisit common compression approaches (sparsification, quantization, and low-rank decomposition) and demonstrate how considering the above issues can lead to minor but strategic design changes, resulting in notably better performance. Our goal is to raise awareness of the need for design and evaluation standards that naturally translate to the end-to-end utility of gradient compression.

description: This paper investigates the impact of weave architectures on the mechanics of crack propagation in fiber-reinforced woven polymer composites under quasi-static loading. Woven composites consist of fabrics/textiles containing fibers interwoven at 0 degrees (warp) and 90 degrees (weft) bound by a polymer matrix. The mechanical properties can be tuned by weaving fiber bundles with single or multiple materials in various patterns or architectures. Although the effects of uniform weave architectures, like plain, twill, satin, etc. on in-plane modulus and fracture energy have been studied, the influence of patterned weaves consisting of a combination of sub-patterns, that is, architected weaves, on these behaviors is not understood. We focus on identifying the mechanisms affecting crack path tortuosity and propagation rate in composites with architected woven textiles containing various sub-patterns, hence, \textit{Ar$χ$i} {\bf(ar.kee)} \textit{-Textile} Composites. Through compact tension tests, we determine how architected weave patterns compared to uniform weaves influence mode-I fracture energy of woven composites due to interactions of different failure modes. Results show that fracture energy increases at transition regions between sub-patterns in architected weave composites, with more tortuous crack propagation and higher resistance to crack growth than uniform weave composites. We also introduce three geometrical parameters - transition, area, and skewness factors - to characterize sub-patterns and their effects on in-plane fracture energy. This knowledge can be exploited to design and fabricate safer lightweight structures for marine and aerospace sectors with enhanced damage tolerance under extreme loads.

description: Epoxy based conducting polymer coatings were prepared by using polyaniline (Pani), modified with lignosulfonate (LGS) dopant for the aircraft AA2024-T3 alloy. High-strength, light-weight alloys such as AA2024-T3 is widely used for the skin construction of an aircraft. This type of coating resulted in enhancement of conductivity upto 4.88 S/cm compared to 10-8 S/cm for epoxy alone. However such a combination Pani-LGS loses its conductivity with time because of the loss of the dopant. Therefore, the Pani-LGS was further modified by grafting with another polymer i.e. poly(acrylamide co acrylic acid) which maintained the conductivity for longer duration by preventing the loss of dopant. The modification of Pani-LGS with poly (acrylamide co acrylic acid) exhibited conductivity of 3.9 S/cm but maintains it for longer time and showed 1200h salt spray test. The aim of the present work was to achieve conductivity of 5-10 S/cm and corrosion resistance equivalent to 2000h salt spray pass for the coating and hence, further improvements were made with the addition of montomorillonite clay (MMT), aluminium oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3) and graphene (G) to the coating. Other properties of these developed conducting coating, such as corrosion resistance, weathering resistance and mechanical properties were also studied. It was found that the modified coating system had better conductivity (8.76 S/cm in case of graphene), corrosion resistance (2400 h salt spray passes) and enhanced mechanical properties. Detailed stepwise mechanism of various modifications has been proposed which helps in overcoming the defects created by aggressive environment, by both barrier protection and anodic protection of conducting polymer coatings.

title: Modular synthesis of lanthanide heterobimetallic complexes
Creators: name: Horsewill, Samuel
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: This thesis presents a modular synthesis of lanthanide heterobimetallics incorporating a redox-active bridging ligand, 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (pd). Monometallic complexes Ln(hfac)3(N,N′-pd) 1-Ln are synthesised and fully characterised, and it is established that Ln(hfac)3 coordinates selectively to the N,N′ coordination site of the ligand. The reaction of 1-Ln with V(Cp)2 results in the two-electron reduction of pd and synthesis of the d-f heterobimetallics Ln(hfac)3(N,N′-O,O′-pd)V(Cp)2 2-Ln. The pd ligand is reduced using CoCp2 to provide [CoCp2]+[pd]–• 3, the first fully characterised example of the pd radical anion. Reaction of 3 with Ln(hfac)3(THF)2 4-Ln produces the monometallic lanthanide radical compounds [CoCp2]+[Ln(hfac)3(N,N′-pd)]–• 5-Ln, in which Ln(hfac)3 again selectively coordinates to the N,N′ coordination site of the ligand. The photoluminescent properties of the modular system comprising 1-Ln, 4-Ln and 5-Ln are investigated. In this way, the contributions of the different components of the system, including the organic radical, to quenching of lanthanide photoluminescence are identified. Importantly, by using TCSPC to investigate the emission from the ligands, some energy transfer processes from the emissive excited states of the hfac and pd ligands are also observed. A range of lanthanide reagents are reacted with 3 and 5-Ln to develop a synthesis of lanthanide heterobimetallics. Organolanthanide transmetallation reagents Ln(Cpt)2(OTf)2K 6-Ln and lanthanide scorpionates Ln(Tp)2(OTf) 7-Ln are synthesised and fully characterised for this purpose. Of 6-Ln, 7-Ln and Ln(Tp*)2(OTf), 7-Ln exhibits the best reactivity with 3, selectively coordinating to the O,O′ coordination site of the ligand to produce Ln(Tp)2(O,O′-pd) 8-Ln. Reaction of 8-Ln generated in situ with 4-Ln in toluene solution is shown to successfully produce lanthanide heterobimetallic complexes Ln(hfac)3(N,N′-O,O′-pd)Ln′(Tp)2 9-LnLn′. Ligand redistribution reactions producing side-products such as Ln(Tp)2(hfac) are limited by performing the reaction cold and quenching it as quickly as possible. The solid state molecular structures of 9-YY′ and 9-EuYb are determined and the bond lengths in 9-EuYb are indicative that lanthanide scrambling has not occurred. Photoluminescence spectroscopy of 9-LnLn′ is also consistent with the selective coordination of the lanthanides to the two different binding sites of the ligand.

title: A Green Hermeneutic for a Green Homiletic: Preaching Paul in time of ecological threat
Creators: name: Jamison, Trevor
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: This planet is suffering from the impact of climate change, brought about by human activity. In response, the author of this thesis preached a series of four sermons in September 2018. All four featured Paul’s Letter to the Philippians, read using a green hermeneutic. Gospel readings were also chosen from the Revised Common Lectionary. Readers’ interests, rather than the intentions of the author, or exegesis based on the historical setting of the biblical text, was the primary driver of ecological interpretation in the sermons. Using a preaching journal, maintained during this series, the thesis analyses the preparation process for writing the sermons. This takes account of the role of the preacher’s life story and contemporary contextual factors in decision making. The texts of the sermons preached are examined, using responses from a three-person reflection panel. This identifies ‘types’ of possible responses to ecological preaching: ‘wary listener’, ‘critical friend’, and ‘ready listener’. Reflection upon this example of ecological preaching practice produces a number of findings. First, when read using a green hermeneutic, Paul can encourage helpful reaction and response to contemporary ecological threat. Second, preachers need to give suitable time to considering the wider ecological context before moving to consider the biblical texts. Third, giving due weight to readers’ interests implies that listeners may also reinterpret a preacher’s ecological interpretation. Fourth, the approach used for these sermons may be used for group discussion, particularly Contextual Bible Study.
title: The impact of service recovery on Consumer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE)
Creators: name: Khan, Muhammad Ali
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: The current thesis contributes to service marketing and branding literature by investigating the impact of service recovery (customer participation in service recovery and firm recovery) on Consumer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE) and perceived justice. This thesis examines the mediating role of perceived justice between service recovery and CBBE. It further identifies the moderating role of service failure severity on the relationships between service recovery, perceived justice and CBBE. Finally, this thesis investigates the occurrence of the service recovery paradox with respect to the dimensions of CBBE. The theoretical development involves a systematic literature review of service recovery literature which set the parameters to review the branding literature. A total of five research questions are developed to fulfil the research gaps which are identified from the literature review. For the empirical investigation, this research uses an exploratory sequential mixed-method research design to answer the research questions (RQs). The first empirical phase is carried out through a qualitative study. There are 24 Semi-structured interviews conducted for qualitative data collection. The second phase is quantitative and includes a 3 (customer participation in service recovery vs firm recovery vs no recovery) X 2 (low service failure severity vs high service failure severity) factorial scenario-based experiment undertaken by 322 participants. RQ1 is answered in the qualitative phase, whereas RQ2, RQ3, RQ4 and RQ5 are answered in the quantitative phase. The findings of the qualitative phase suggest that perceived quality, perceived value, brand reputation, brand trust, and brand loyalty are the dimensions of CBBE, which have the tendency to decline after a service failure but may increase after a successful service recovery (RQ1). The positive impact of service recovery on these dimensions of CBBE, perceived justice and overall brand equity is confirmed in the quantitative phase (RQ2). The quantitative findings suggest that perceived justice is a critical mediator between service recovery and CBBE (RQ3). Further, it is concluded that service failure severity is a significant moderator among the relationships except in the case of service recovery and brand reputation (RQ4). Finally, the findings suggest that brand loyalty is the only dimension of CBBE which may produce a service recovery paradox (RQ5).

description: We determine the phase diagram of a one-dimensional Bose gas in the presence of disorder with short- and long-range correlations, the latter decaying with distance as $1/|x|^{1+σ}$. When $σ<0$, the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition between the superfluid and the localized phase is driven by the long-range correlations and the Luttinger parameter $K$ takes the critical value $K_c(σ)=3/2-σ/2$. The localized phase is a Bose glass for $σ>σ_c=3-π^2/3\simeq -0.289868$, and a Mott glass -- characterized by a vanishing compressibility and a gapless conductivity -- when $σ<σ_c$. Our conclusions, based on the nonperturbative functional renormalization group and perturbative renormalization group, are confirmed by the study of the case $σ=-1$, corresponding to a perfectly correlated disorder in space, where the model is exactly solvable in the semiclassical limit $K\to 0^+$.
