description: Weakly nonlinear energy transfer between normal modes of strongly resonant PDEs is captured by the corresponding effective resonant systems. In a previous article, we have constructed a large class of such resonant systems (with specific representatives related to the physics of Bose-Einstein condensates and Anti-de Sitter spacetime) that admit special analytic solutions and an extra conserved quantity. Here, we develop and explore a complex plane representation for these systems modelled on the related cubic Szego and LLL equations. To demonstrate the power of this representation, we use it to give simple closed form expressions for families of stationary states bifurcating from all individual modes. The conservation laws, the complex plane representation and the stationary states admit furthermore a natural generalization from cubic to quintic nonlinearity. We demonstrate how two concrete quintic PDEs of mathematical physics fit into this framework, and thus directly benefit from the analytic structures we present: the quintic nonlinear Schroedinger equation in a one-dimensional harmonic trap, studied in relation to Bose-Einstein condensates, and the quintic conformally invariant wave equation on a two-sphere, which is of interest for AdS/CFT-correspondence.

description: Deep SCUBA observations of NGC 1275 at 450 micron and 850 micron along with the application of deconvolution algorithms have permitted us to separate the strong core emission in this galaxy from the fainter extended emission around it. The core has a steep spectral index and is likely due primarily to the AGN. The faint emission has a positive spectral index and is clearly due to extended dust in a patchy distribution out to a radius of $\sim$ 20 kpc from the nucleus. These observations have now revealed that a large quantity of dust, $\sim$ 6 $\times$ 10$^7$ $M_\odot$, 2 orders of magnitude larger than that inferred from previous optical absorption measurements, exists in this galaxy. We estimate the temperature of this dust to be $\sim$ 20 K (using an emissivity index of $β$ = 1.3) and the gas/dust ratio to be 360. These values are typical of spiral galaxies. The dust emission correlates spatially with the hot X-ray emitting gas which may be due to collisional heating of broadly distributed dust by electrons. Since the destruction timescale is short, the dust cannot be replenished by stellar mass loss and must be externally supplied, either via the infalling galaxy or the cooling flow itself.

description: The rare phenomenon of nuclear wobbling motion has been investigated for the nucleus $^{187}$Au. A longitudinal wobbling-bands pair has been identified and clearly distinguished from the associated signature-partner band on the basis of angular distribution measurements. Theoretical calculations in the framework of the Particle Rotor Model (PRM) are found to agree well with the experimental observations. This is the first experimental evidence for longitudinal wobbling bands where the expected signature partner band has also been identified, and establishes this exotic collective mode as a general phenomenon over the nuclear chart.

description: Three-dimensional printing in Construction (3DPiC) is known as a trending technology in the construction industry. While scholars and practitioners seek to learn more about the applications of 3DPiC, there are no efficient workflows and open data sets available for further investigations. This paper intends to present the data produced in a laboratory for creating new models. The paper first presents the experimentational data collected from 60 models and selected thermal digital images which are useful for sustainability analysis of models. The recorded data includes the time of crafting each layer of the model, total time of creating a model and thermal measures. Based on the 60 experimentations and an intensive literature review, the paper presents a proposed computational workflow including the use of Revit, Dynamo, Fusion 360, Navisworks and a selected 3D printer, which can be utilised for further data collection and analysis in the field. This model will assist in automating the cost estimation as an upgrade for 3DPiC.

description: In instruction conditioned navigation, agents interpret natural language and their surroundings to navigate through an environment. Datasets for studying this task typically contain pairs of these instructions and reference trajectories. Yet, most evaluation metrics used thus far fail to properly account for the latter, relying instead on insufficient similarity comparisons. We address fundamental flaws in previously used metrics and show how Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), a long known method of measuring similarity between two time series, can be used for evaluation of navigation agents. For such, we define the normalized Dynamic Time Warping (nDTW) metric, that softly penalizes deviations from the reference path, is naturally sensitive to the order of the nodes composing each path, is suited for both continuous and graph-based evaluations, and can be efficiently calculated. Further, we define SDTW, which constrains nDTW to only successful paths. We collect human similarity judgments for simulated paths and find nDTW correlates better with human rankings than all other metrics. We also demonstrate that using nDTW as a reward signal for Reinforcement Learning navigation agents improves their performance on both the Room-to-Room (R2R) and Room-for-Room (R4R) datasets. The R4R results in particular highlight the superiority of SDTW over previous success-constrained metrics.

title: The development of therapeutic Disassemble-Reassemble Extracellular Vesicles (DR-EVs) derived from a natural source of exosomes

description: Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are produced by a cell for cellular communication or to deliver cargo such as proteins, DNA, or enzymes to adjacent cells, or systemically in the body to a target organ. They are extensions of the cellular membrane which pinch off externally in a budding process called exocytosis. These nanoparticles distribute to their target cell to fuse with the cell membrane, and in doing so, its contents are carried into the cell through endocytosis. We can utilise this process and deliver any desired cargo which we package by first disassembling exosomes and dissolving them into lipids, mixing it with the cargo, freeze-drying it, then reforming new particles with water. Ultimately, these can be used as a therapy to intervene in the progression of a disease or be used as a diagnostic tool. These EVs can be further analysed and observed in vivo to create a better understanding of them. Exosomes have been investigated in previous studies and it is believed that they have great potential in delivering therapeutic cargo and are beneficial due to their biocompatible nature, low immunogenicity, and low toxicity. This makes them unlikely to trigger an immune response, which is a valuable characteristic for therapies. Previous methods used for the packaging of cargo in exosomes included incubation, transfection, electroporation, and more. However, there were common issues found with the resulting lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) produced, including poor loading, low encapsulation efficiency, and inefficient delivery to organs in animal studies. Hence, the need for the development of a method which may overcome these issues. In this study we report on the development of the Disassemble-Reassemble Extracellular Vesicle Hydration of Freeze-Dried Matrix (DR-EV HFDM) method which disassembles and reassembles exosomes into EVs packaged with nucleic acid cargo. This method was tested for the successful packaging of cargo, particle characterisation, and particle biodistribution in vivo. [...]
Metallicity Evolution of Damped Lyman Alpha Systems In Lambda CDM Cosmology

description: Utilizing a new, high mass resolution hydrodynamic simulation we compute the metallicity evolution of damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) and find a reasonable agreement with observations. In particular, the observed slow evolution of the DLA metallicity occurs naturally in the simulation due to the combined effects of physical and observational selection. The slow metallicity evolution is caused by the steady transformation, with increasing time, of the highest metallicity systems to "galaxies", thus depleting this category, while all the lower metallicity systems show, individually, an increase in metallicity. Although the trend of DLA metallicity with redshift is in good agreement with observations, it appears that the average metallicity of simulated DLAs is higher than observed by 0.3-0.5 dex in the probed redshift range (z=0-5). Our study indicates that this difference may be attributed to observational selection effects due to dust obscuration. If we allow for a dust obscuration effect, our model reproduces the observed metallicity evolution in both amplitude and slope. We find that DLAs are not a simple population but probe a range of different systems and the mix changes with redshift. About 50% of all metals in the gaseous phase is in DLAs at all times from z=5 to z=1, making a rapid downturn at z\le 1 to ~20% by z=0, as metals are swept into the hotter components of the IGM as well as locked up in stars. While not the primary focus of this study, we find that the model provides good matches to observations with respect to column density distribution and evolution of neutral gas content, if the same dust obscuration is taken into account. We find Omega_{DLA,comp}=(1-3)E-3, depending on the effect of dust obscuration.

description: We investigate odd-frequency superconducting correlations in normal-superconductor (NS) and short superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS) junctions with the S region described by the Kitaev model of spinless fermions in one dimension. We demonstrate that, in both the trivial and topological phases, Andreev reflection is responsible for the coexistence of even- and odd-frequency pair amplitudes at interfaces, while normal reflections solely contribute to odd-frequency pairing. At NS interfaces we find that the odd-frequency pair amplitude exhibits large, but finite, values in the topological phase at low frequencies. This enhancement is due to the emergence of a Majorana zero mode at the interface, but notably there is no divergence and a finite odd-frequency pair amplitude also exists outside the topological phase. We also show that the local density of states and local odd-frequency pairing can be characterized solely by Andreev reflections deep in the topological phase. Moreover, in the topological phase of short SNS junctions, we find that both even- and odd-frequency amplitudes capture the emergence of topological Andreev bound states.

description: A great deal of interest has been recently raised in connection with the possibility that soft $γ$-ray repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) contain {\em magnetars}, young neutron stars endowed with magnetic fields $\gtrsim 10^{14}$ G. In this paper we calculate thermal spectra from ultra-magnetized neutron stars for values of the luminosity and magnetic field believed to be relevant to SGRs and AXPs. Emergent spectra are found to be very close to a blackbody at the star effective temperature and exhibit a distinctive absorption feature at the proton cyclotron energy $E_{c,p}\simeq 0.63 (B/10^{14} {\rm G})$ keV. The proton cyclotron features (PCFs) are conspicuous (equivalent width of up to many hundreds eV) and relatively broad ($ΔE/E \sim 0.05-0.2$). The detection of the PCFs is well within the capabilities of present X-ray spectrometers, like the HETGS and METGS on board Chandra. Their observation might provide decisive evidence in favor of the existence of magnetars.

We show the coexisting phase with both the ground and first excited states for rotating multistate boson stars. In contrast to the solutions of the nodeless boson stars, the rotating boson stars with two states have two types of nodes, including the $^1S^2S$ state and the $^1S^2P$ state. Moreover, we explore the properties of the mass $M$ of rotating boson stars with two states as a function of the synchronized frequency $ω$, as well as the nonsynchronized frequency $ω_2$. Finally, we also study the dependence of the mass $M$ of rotating boson stars with two states on angular momentum for both the synchronized frequency $ω$ and the nonsynchronized frequency $ω_2$.

The chemistry of compact planetary nebulae

description: We report high-sensitivity millimetre observations of several molecular species (13CO, HCN, HNC, CN, HCO+ and N2H+) in a sample of compact planetary nebulae. Some species such as HCO+ and CN are particularly abundant compared to envelopes around AGB stars or even interstellar clouds. We have estimated the following average values for the column densities ratios: CN/HCN~2.6, HCO+/HCN~0.5, and HNC/HCN~0.4. Thus, the chemical composition of the molecular envelopes in these compact PNe appears somewhat intermediate between the composition of proto-PNe (such as CRL 2688 or CRL 618) and well evolved PNe (such as the Ring, M4--9, or the Helix). From observations of the CO isotopomers, we have estimated that the 12C/13C ratio is in the range 10 ~< 12C/13C ~< 40. These values are below those expected from standard asymptotic giant branch models and suggest non-standard mixing processes. The observed molecular abundances are compared to very recent modelling work, and we conclude that the observations are well explained, in general terms, by time-dependent gas-phase chemical models in which the ionization rate is enhanced by several orders of magnitude with respect to the average interstellar value. Thus, our observations confirm that the chemistry in the neutral shells of PNe is essentially governed by the high energy radiation from the hot central stars. The complexity of the chemical processes is increased by numerous factors linked to the properties of the central star and the geometry and degree of clumpiness of the envelope. Several aspects of the PN chemistry that remains to be understood are discussed within the frame of the available chemical models.

description: The supranova model of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), in which the GRB event is preceded by a supernova (SN) explosion by a few months to years, has recently gained support from Fe line detections in X-ray afterglows. A crucial ingredient of this model yet to be studied is the fast-rotating pulsar that should be active during the time interval between the SN and the GRB, driving a powerful wind and a luminous plerionic nebula. We discuss some observational consequences of this precursor plerion, which should provide important tests for the supranova model: 1) the fragmentation of the outlying SN ejecta material by the plerion and its implications for Fe line emission; and 2) the effect of inverse Compton cooling and emission in the GRB external shock due to the plerion radiation field. The plerion-induced inverse Compton emission can dominate in the GeV-TeV energy range during the afterglow, being detectable by GLAST from redshifts $z \lesssim 1.5$ and distinguishable from self-Compton emission by its spectrum and light curve. The prospects for direct detection and identification of the precursor plerion emission are also briefly considered.

description: Blockchain has become important in business strategy and in technological discussions in industry, academia and government. Irrespective of differing views and beliefs about cryptocurrency, it has triggered significant interest and investment in research in the blockchain space. Enterprise-grade blockchains are being developed to meet specific business requirements. However, the limitations of scalability and interoperability remain design challenges. Technically, interoperability could address scalability by connecting multiple, application-specific blockchain networks. Interoperability is, therefore, emerging as one of the critical requirements of blockchain technology because of the need to address data and value silos. The general definition of interoperability, which stems from an information systems perspective, will not work for blockchain systems. The main challenges are accessing and accepting data from other networks. A preliminary study conducted by the author showed that these networks need to be integrated to interoperate. This research identifies three modes of integration with different security assumptions to address the data access issue. With the data acceptance issue, the value (asset) that each system carries needs to be categorised. Based on the category of asset, specific protocols need to be used to swap or transfer value. This paper proposes an asset classification and design decision framework for cross-chain integration that identifies the type of transfer and its security assumptions in any given scenario. In brief, this thesis proposes a novel protocol to transfer assets between blockchains while preserving the properties needed for value transfer. This protocol is built on the assumption that the integration process happens in multiple steps between mutually agreed parties, and the users initiate the trade. This protocol transfers assets from one network to another in a way that burns the asset on one network and creates proof that will be ported to another network through this integration system. The recipient’s system then mints the same asset on its network with the aid of the proof. The feasibility of the transfer process was tested by deploying the protocol in a test network and evaluating the outcome. A theoretical analysis of the transfer process proves the desired properties, including atomicity, correctness, and security, exist. Formal verification of the protocol in various adversarial conditions has been done. This research shows that atomicity, which is commonly believed to hold in the time-lock mechanism, does not hold in general cross-chain situations. This work verifies that this property only holds under certain assumptions. It also shows that the other two desired properties, correctness and security, hold in the proposed protocol.
Molecular Gas and Star Formation in NGC 3077

description: We present high resolution (~2.5'') CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) images of the central kiloparsec of NGC 3077 made with the Owens Valley Millimeter Array. CO emission is distributed in three major complexes which resolve into at least seven GMCs. Two complexes are associated with the central starburst. A third, more distant complex is not associated with strong star formation. The GMCs are ~70 pc in size and contain ~10^{6} M_{\odot} of molecular gas. The Galactic conversion factor appears applicable to NGC 3077, consistent with its solar metallicity. Galactic rotation in NGC 3077 is detected for the first time in the molecular gas. The molecular gas counterrotates with respect to the large scale HI tidal bridge. The molecular clouds closest to the starburst have super-virial linewidths, possibly related to the turbulence generated by the starburst. The 2.6 mm radio continuum flux indicates that thermal Bremsstrahlung dominates the emission from the starburst region below 5 cm, and that the N_{Lyc} \simeq 3.7\times 10^{52} s^{-1} or ~3000 O7 stars, corresponds to a star formation rate of 0.4 M_{\odot} yr^{-1}. At this rate the amount of molecular gas can sustain star formation for only ~10 Myrs; thus NGC 3077 is a true starburst galaxy. The derived age of the starburst is consistent with the inferred ages of the superbubbles, which suggests that the burst is much younger than the age of the M 81-M 82-NGC 3077 interaction. We suggest that it is caused by gas that was pulled out of NGC 3077 during the interaction with M 81, raining back down onto the galaxy.

This book was first published by Forsten, as above.  Forsten publications were sold to Brill.  Brill was then bought by De Gruyter.   The physical book is now out of print with Brill.  But the two volumes are separately available as PDFs (vol 1, vol 2).

 

The two volumes were reprinted as a single volume  (with a correction to p. 26 of the edition) by Motilal Banarsidass in 2017.  ISBN 9788120839823.

 

The correct subtitle of the book is "The Vyāḍīyaparibhāṣāvṛtti", not "The Paribhāṣāvṛtti of Vyāḍi".  The correct subtitle is on the title page of the book, but there was a mistake on the original outer cover of the Forsten edition.

title: The Perception of Bias in the Energy Case Law Within the Investor–State Dispute-Settlement System
Creators: name: Dani, Mojtaba
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Investor–state dispute-settlement (ISDS) system
subject: Energy Case Law
subject: Bias in law

description: The investor–state dispute-settlement (ISDS) system has been suffering a crisis of legitimacy, arising inter alia from the perception among some states that the system is biased in favour of foreign investors. This perception of bias has emerged from a range of disputes over the last decade, particularly in the energy sector. While the case data show that states prevail more often than investors,1 the issue remains that a sense of disaffection with the system is continuing to deepen. Therefore, this thesis addresses the following research question: Is the perception of bias among some states well-founded and valid? Given this legitimacy crisis, there is a need to explore the grounds of the perception of bias, and offer remedies for jurisprudential and doctrinal problems in the ISDS system. The study analyses doctrinal developments within the ISDS system to explore the perception of bias. It examines bias through the ways in which the treaty norms and standards are crafted, applied and interpreted in the investment treaty system, which the study refers to as ‘systemic bias’. Further, it argues that the ways in which the doctrines emerging within the ISDS system are being developed actively facilitate the perception of systemic bias. Therefore, the question of perceived bias must be addressed by exploring the development of doctrines, and how they are interpreted and applied.

description: We have obtained intermediate-resolution VLT spectroscopy of 75 globular cluster candidates around the Sa galaxy M104 (NGC4594). Fifty-seven candidates out to ~ 40 kpc in the halo of the galaxy were confirmed to be bona-fide globular clusters, 27 of which are new. A first analysis of the velocities provides only marginal evidence for rotation of the cluster system. From Hbeta line strengths, almost all of the clusters in our sample have ages that are consistent, within the errors, with Milky Way globular clusters. Only a few clusters may be 1-2 Gyr old, and bulge and halo clusters appear coeval. The absorption line indices follow the correlations established for the Milky Way clusters. Metallicities are derived based upon new empirical calibrations with Galactic globular clusters taking into account the non-linear behavior of some indices (e.g., Mg2). Our sample of globular clusters in NGC4594 spans a metallicity range of -2.13 < [Fe/H] < +0.26 dex, and the median metallicity of the system is [Fe/H] = -0.85. Thus, our data provide evidence that some of the clusters have super-solar metallicity. Overall, the abundance distribution of the cluster system is consistent with a bimodal distribution with peaks at [Fe/H] ~- 1.7 and -0.7. However, the radial change in the metallicity distribution of clusters may not be straightforwardly explained by a varying mixture of two sub-populations of red and blue clusters.

subject: Plausible Causal Reasoning

description: This dissertation initiates a new direction in causal non-monotonic reasoning. We begin by reviewing commonly proposed and adopted principles of causal non-monotonic reasoning, and determine their suitability for characterising causal non-monotonic reasoning in a general sense. From this review, a significant gap in the literature is identified: research in causal non-monotonic reasoning has so far been focused on the re-use of familiar mathematics, and not concerned with the intuition that underpins human causal reasoning. To fill this gap, we propose a new approach to causal non-monotonic reasoning: one that is motivated primarily by the accurate representation of how humans typically reason with cause and effect in day-to-day life. We call this new approach Plausible Causal Reasoning (PCR). We propose some new principles that help characterise PCR, and define a new formalism for causal non-monotonic reasoning. The new formalism is shown to: satisfy each of our new principles; reason correctly with some important examples; and be well-behaved with respect to the standard properties used to determine the acceptability of logical reasoning mechanisms. We also indicate possible avenues of future work that would further develop this new approach to causal non-monotonic reasoning.

title: Biochemical Investigations in the Rare Disease Alkaptonuria: Studies on the Metabolome and the Nature of Ochronotic Pigment
Creators: name: Norman, Brendan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare inherited disorder of tyrosine metabolism caused by lack of the enzyme homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (HGD). The primary biochemical consequence of HGD deficiency is increased circulating concentration of homogentisic acid (HGA); this is the central cause of the devastating multi-systemic damage observed in AKU. One of the most striking pathophysiological features of AKU is accumulation of ochronotic pigment derived from HGA in tissues throughout the body. HGA has an affinity for cartilaginous tissue. Presence of ochronotic pigment in cartilage of load-bearing joints causes severe early-onset osteoarthropathy; the greatest cause of morbidity in AKU. This thesis addresses two major unanswered questions in AKU. First is the wider metabolic consequences both of HGD deficiency and those observed following treatment with the promising HGA-lowering agent nitisinone. A metabolomics approach was employed to address these questions, with the aim of discovering biomarkers with potential clinical value in monitoring disease in AKU and in assessing the wider metabolic consequences of nitisinone treatment. Second, this thesis explores the nature of ochronotic pigment derived from HGA. The chemical structure of ochronotic pigment is not known, nor are the mechanisms by which HGA interacts with and binds into the cartilage extracellular matrix. Various analytical chemistry techniques were employed to study the chemical properties of ochronotic pigment and pigmented cartilage in patients and mice with AKU. The data from chemical analyses presented in this thesis provide new insights into the nature of ochronotic pigment. The chemical structure of ochronotic pigment remains unknown, but the pigment had long been widely cited as a polymer in the literature. First, these data fundamentally challenge the idea that ochronotic pigment is a polymeric species. Through study of ochronotic tissue samples, the data also indicate for the first time a specific alteration to the cartilage matrix that enables binding of HGA-derived species. An LC-QTOF-MS metabolic phenotyping strategy was developed, enabling identification of hundreds of metabolites simultaneously, based on chemical properties of accurate mass and chromatographic retention time. Application of this technique to AKU showed that the biochemical alterations following a) targeted deletion of the HGD gene in mice to cause AKU, and b) nitisinone treatment, reflect a complex, interconnected network of metabolite changes. The data not only stimulate myriad further lines of research into AKU pathophysiology but also reveal previously uncharacterised association between metabolites at a network level. These studies provide a prime example of how rare diseases such as inborn errors of metabolism can offer unique windows into metabolism and human physiology more generally.

Detection of H2 Emission from Mira B in UV Spectra from the Hubble Space Telescope

description: We present ultraviolet spectra of Mira's companion star from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) instrument on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The companion is generally assumed to be a white dwarf surrounded by an accretion disk fed by Mira's wind, which dominates the UV emission from the system. The STIS UV spectrum is dominated by numerous, narrow H2 lines fluoresced by H I Ly-alpha, which were not detected in any of the numerous observations of Mira B by the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). The high temperature lines detected by IUE (e.g., C IV 1550) still exist in the STIS spectrum but with dramatically lower fluxes. The continuum fluxes in the STIS spectra are also much lower, being more than an order of magnitude lower than ever observed by IUE, and also an order of magnitude lower than fluxes observed in more recent HST Faint Object Camera objective prism spectra from 1995. Thus, the accretion rate onto Mira B was apparently much lower when STIS observed the star, and this change altered the character of Mira B's UV spectrum.
