description: We provide a detailed account for a new method to measure superconducting stiffness $ρ_{s}$, critical current density $j_c$, and coherence length $ξ$, in one apparatus, without subjecting the sample to magnetic field or attaching leads. The method is based on the London equation $\mathbf{j}=-ρ_{s}\mathbf{A}$, where ${\bf j}$ is the current density and ${\bf A}$ is the vector potential. Using a rotor free $\bf{A}$ and a measurement of $\bf{j}$ via the magnetic moment of a superconducting ring, we determine $ρ_{s}$. By increasing $\mathbf{A}$ until the London equation fails we determine $j_c$ and $ξ$. The method is sensitive to very small stiffness, which translates to penetration depth $λ\lesssim 1$~mm. It is also sensitive to low critical current density $j_c \sim 10^3$ Amm$^{-2}$ or long coherence length $ξ\sim 1$~$μ$m. Naturally, the method does not suffer from demagnetization factor complications, the presence of vortices, or out-of-equilibrium conditions. Therefore, the absolute values of the different parameters can be determined. We demonstrate the application of this method to La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ with $x=0.17$.

title:  Reliability of Assessment of Postural Control in the Sitting Position in the Hemiplegic Subjects by use of a Functional Reach Task
Creators: name: Carter, Karen Dreher
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: No single standardized and reliable method exists for measuring postural control in sitting in the stroke patient population. Postural control in sitting is often a portion of the total physical therapy assessment of the hemiplegic patient. The purpose of this research was to investigate the reliability of a functional reach test as a measure of postural control in sitting in the adult hemiplegic population. The measurement method was performed on 23 adult hemiplegic subjects, ages 62-88 years (mean= 73.6 + 7.9 years). Two physical therapists scored the subjects on the functional reach task. once the functional reach measure was obtained in inches, it was converted to a functional reach score. Inter-tester reliability between Tester 1 and Tester 2 was .95. There was a weak correlation between functional reach score and unaffected upper extremity shoulder flexion. There was no significant difference in functional reach scores between right and left CVA subjects. There was no significant correlation between functional reach score and hip or knee range of motion. There was also no significant correlation between functional reach score and the length of the unaffected reaching upper extremity or trunk length. Based on the results of this study, the functional reach test in sitting is an inexpensive and reliable method for measuring postural control in sitting. Further studies need to be done to assess this tests validity in predicting functional levels of activities of daily living in the hemiplegic population.
title: Supercapacitors-based Pulsed Power Supply for the ASDEX Upgrade Toroidal Field Coil
Creators: name: Magnanimo, Antonio
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: ASDEX Upgrade is an experimental tokamak where the physics of nuclear fusion relevant plasmas is studied. Its electrical power is provided by three flywheel generators that are charged up before the start of each experiment with up to 15 MW for several minutes. The stored energy is then used to satisfy the high power needs during an experiment - called plasma pulse - of up to 450 MVA. The largest one of the three flywheel generators could not be replaced in case of a major fault because currently there are no comparable devices available on the free market. Therefore, the development of an alternative power supply system with high power and energy and fully controllable output is planned. Supercapacitors are well known for their very high specific power. Combining this technology with a proper power converter topology such as the modular multilevel converter, it would be possible to feed the coils of future tokamaks with higher performance and reliability. This topology, indeed, allows a discrete-leveled output voltage and, thanks to its high modules number, it can operate continuously even in case of fault of some of them, while a flywheel generator could not. This dissertation shows the concept of the mentioned power supply, highlighting advantages and challenges compared to existing technologies, focusing on reliability, scalability and flexibility with the idea of adapting this solution even for different applications in the future. Furthermore, a small-scale demonstrator composed by four identical modules has been built, and it has been tested in three different configurations: serial, parallel and combined serial/parallel. The serial configuration has been tested to validate the developed control strategy, the parallel one is fundamental for the scalability of the system and the last configuration validated their combination. The experimental results are shown and compared with simulations, and finally a clearer picture about the scalability of the system was developed.
title: Workers’ rights vs ‘owners’ rights: how structures of corporate law affect the realization of labour rights
Creators: name: Crawford, Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: The thesis develops a systematic exposition of the relationship between corporate law and labour rights. The analysis explores the ways in which the legal structuring of the labour relationship through the corporate employer affects the realization of labour rights. The analysis moves beyond the traditional scope of labour law to consider the ways in which corporate, insolvency and competition law uphold hierarchical control over workers across the ‘corporate veil’ of formally independent legal entities. The study draws on perspectives in the Law and Political Economy (LPE) tradition. Katherina Pistor’s concept of the legal ‘coding’ of capital is adapted to the labour relationship. The coding of capital is analysed as a process through which private law rules are applied to the legal structuring of the social relations of the firm. The impacts of this legal structuring for workers claims to value, job security, and autonomy and voice at work are explored through a series of case examples. 1) The leveraged buyout and the effect of takeovers on rights to collective bargaining and workers share of value. 2) The structure of creditors rights in high yield credit instruments and workers exposure to risk, priority of claims, and rights to worker voice in insolvency. 3) The structuring of the labour relationship across franchise networks and supply chains. The analysis will explore the ways in which rights are shaped by the legal coding of capital: of the forms of corporate property; a process of capitalization which structures social relations through law.

description: We study a system consisting of a Luttinger liquid coupled to a quantum dot on the boundary. The Luttinger liquid is expressed in terms of fermions interacting via density-density coupling and the dot is modeled as an interacting resonant level on to which the bulk fermions can tunnel. We solve the Hamiltonian exactly and construct all eigenstates. We study both the zero and finite temperature properties of the system, in particular we compute the exact dot occupation as a function of the dot energy in all parameter regimes. The system is seen to flow from weak to to strong coupling for all values of the bulk interaction, with the flow characterized by a non-perturbative Kondo scale. We identify the critical exponents at the weak and strong coupling regimes.

description: It has long been known that human breathing is altered during listening and speaking compared to rest: during speaking, inhalation depth is adjusted to the air volume required for the upcoming utterance. During listening, inhalation is temporally aligned to inhalation of the speaker. While evidence for the former is relatively strong, it is virtually absent for the latter. We address both phenomena using recordings of speech envelope and respiration in 30 participants during 14 min of speaking and listening to one’s own speech. First, we show that inhalation depth is positively correlated with the total power of the speech envelope in the following utterance. Second, we provide evidence that inhalation during listening to one’s own speech is significantly more likely at time points of inhalation during speaking. These findings are compatible with models that postulate alignment of internal forward models of interlocutors with the aim to facilitate communication.

description: String theory on AdS3 backgrounds arises as an IR limit of Little String Theory on NS5-branes. A wide variety of holographic RG flows from the fivebrane theory in the UV to (orbifolds of) AdS3 in the IR is amenable to exact treatment in worldsheet string theory as a class of null-gauged WZW models. The condensate of stringy winding operators which resolves the near-source structure of fivebranes on the Coulomb branch plays a crucial role in AdS3, revealing stringy structure invisible to the supergravity approximation. The D-brane sector contains precursors of the long strings which dominate black hole entropy in the dual spacetime CFT.

description: With technical progress, combustion pressures have been increased over the years, frequently exceeding the critical pressure of the injected fluids. For conditions beyond the critical point of the injected fluids, the fundamental physics of mixing and evaporation processes is not yet fully understood. In particular, quantitative data for validation of numerical simulations and analytical models remain sparse. In previous works, transient speed of sound studies applying laser-induced thermal acoustics (LITA) have been conducted to investigate the mixing behaviour in the wake of an evaporating droplet injected into a supercritical atmosphere. LITA is a seedless, non-intrusive measurement technique capable of direct speed of sound measurements within these mixing processes. The used setup employs a high-repetition-rate excitation laser source and, therefore, allows the acquisition of time-resolved speed of sound data. For the visualisation of the evaporation process, measurements are accompanied by direct, high-speed shadowgraphy. In the present work, the measured speed of sound data are evaluated by applying an advection-controlled mixing assumption to estimate both the local mole fraction and mixing temperature. For this purpose, planar spontaneous Raman scattering results measured under the same operating conditions are evaluated using an advection-controlled mixing assumption with the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) equation of state. Successively, the resulting concentration–temperature field is used for the estimation of local mixture parameters from the detected speed of sound data. Moreover, models using the PC-SAFT equation of state and the NIST database for the computation of the speed of sound are compared. The investigations indicate a classical two-phase evaporation process with evaporative cooling of the droplet. The subsequent mixing of fluid vapour and ambient gas also remains subcritical in the direct vicinity of the droplet.
title: Frightened into Method: A Study of Literary Historiography in Radcliffe’s The Romance of the Forest (1791)
Creators: name: Irving, Roslyn
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2029

description: This thesis reads Ann Radcliffe’s The Romance of the Forest (1791) as a key transition point in the Gothic novel as a historiographical form. Beginning by considering the reviews of Radcliffe’s novels widely attributed to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, I demonstrate how The Romance of the Forest is an underappreciated text within Radcliffe’s oeuvre as it offers a unique sense of progression in romance narratives. Each chapter of the thesis considers a different theme in Radcliffe’s novel, which builds into an original reading of temporality and method. The opening chapters begin by establishing what Radcliffe’s version of Romanticism might entail. Chapters Two through Four explore the use of historically informed (and shifting) spaces and figures, such as architectural ruins and patriarchs, which configure competing socio-political structures and constitutions. Drawing on a new historical philosophy proposed by Eelco Runia (2014), this thesis also engages with the ways Radcliffe constructs a non-linear, layered, and generative historiography. The final chapters extend discussions around ‘failed’ heroism and the role of women in Radcliffe’s novel, anticipating discussions of Edmund Burke, masculinity, and (gendered) narrative coherence into the nineteenth century. This thesis strengthens existing scholarship on Radcliffe within the Romantic movement more broadly by relating The Romance of the Forest to early nineteenth-century Coleridgean discussions of the Gothic and method, demonstrating the text to be more than a conventional romance. Whilst challenging some recent critics of Radcliffe’s ‘radical’ modernity, this thesis contends that The Romance of the Forest is an organised text which offers progress, writes women as methodical narrative agents, and does this through a sense of history in the present.

description: Presentation of the FAIRtracks project and the Omnipy Python library, part of a presentation series on "ELIXIR Interoperability stories" for the ELIXIR Interoperability Platform, in a meeting March 7, 2023. FAIRtracks is a metadata model and related service infrastructure developed to help FAIRify genomic annotation datasets. Omnipy was developed in the context of the FAIRtracks project as a means to develop scalable and maintainable metadata transformation flows. This presentation has a particular focus on Omnipy as it is a general Python library that is relevant for use in a range of contexts where there is a need for structured functionality for (meta)data wrangling and transformation. 

FAIRtracks started as a proof–of–concept implementation study funded by ELIXIR, the pan–European research infrastructure for biological information, and is now recognized as an ELIXIR Recommended Interoperability Resource. Starting from the point of view of researchers, we recognized the major practical difficulties in locating genomic annotation/track data relevant to the specific analytical contexts, despite the major efforts from larger consortia and smaller research projects to make their data public through repositories, data portals, genome browsers and track hubs. We developed the FAIRtracks infrastructure as a proposed solution to these issues. At the core is a set of schemas proposed as a metadata exchange standard. Around this, we built a set of services and tools, including a central search service, a validation service and a library for building and deploying scalable data flows to continuously transform metadata from various sources.

Omnipy is a Python library for type-driven data wrangling and scalable data flow orchestration. It simplifies creation and deployment of (meta)data transformation processes, emphasizing FAIRification, executable metadata crosswalks and data brokering. Omnipy aids generic data tasks like extraction from multiple sources, (meta)data mapping and systematic data model transformations. Embracing a "parse, don't validate" approach, omnipy uses Python type hints and pydantic for data consistency and adherence to specific models. Highly modular, it allows integration of (meta)data transformation steps dependent on software like pandas and R. The architecture supports pluggable execution engines like Prefect, a highly interoperable industry-developed Open Source data flow orchestration engine. Envisioned as a community effort, omnipy aims to offer various import formats and data models (both hierarchical and tabular representations), as well as ontology mapping and semiautomatic data cleaning.

FAIRtracks was developed as a collaboration between ELIXIR Norway, ELIXIR Spain and EMBL-EBI, while Omnipy is (for now) mainly funded by ELIXIR Norway and the University of Oslo.

title: Striking the perfect match : preferences for a partner as predictors of relationship initiation and quality.
Creators: name: Goodwin, Robin B
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: What motivates people to form heterosexual relationships, and how can the partner they will choose be predicted? Which factors are involved in determining marital quality? This thesis describes a number of experiments designed to address these questions. In the introductory chapters (chapters 1-3) the personal relationships literature is reviewed selectively, and two frameworks for examining relationship formation and quality are developed. The fundamental theme in these frameworks is that fulfilment of interpersonal desires is a predictor of the type of partner chosen for a relationship and the subsequent quality of that relationship, and that these desires can be measured by ascertaining an individual's preferences for a partner type or his/her preferences concerning a particular behaviour within a relationship. Various other factors also interact with or depend upon this variable of 'preference fulfilment': these include social skills and attitudes towards relationships (thought to be important predictors of relationship formation), and role fulfilment and relationship alternatives (hypothesised to be crucial in determining relationship quality). These two frameworks are examined in a series of seven empirical studies. In part 11 of the thesis, two longitudinal studies on University students/supermarket shoppers and on dating agency members were conducted. Results indicate that preference fulfilment is a moderate predictor of the relationship partner chosen, but that other factors (e.g. self-esteem) may also be important. In part III, three cross-sectional studies are conducted using (a) couples who met through a dating agency (b) a random group of Kent couples and (c) a sample of Uruguyian partnerships. The results indicated that relationship alternatives and role interactions are important determinants of relationship quality, but that preference fulfilment plays only a small part in determining such quality. The final chapter draws these results together and considers alternative explanations before exploring the implications of the findings.

description: Observations of the CMB today allow us to answer detailed questions about the properties of our Universe, targeting both standard and non-standard physics. In this paper, we study the effects of varying fundamental constants (i.e., the fine-structure constant, $α_{\rm EM}$, and electron rest mass, $m_{\rm e}$) around last scattering using the recombination codes CosmoRec and Recfast++. We approach the problem in a pedagogical manner, illustrating the importance of various effects on the free electron fraction, Thomson visibility function and CMB power spectra, highlighting various degeneracies. We demonstrate that the simpler Recfast++ treatment (based on a three-level atom approach) can be used to accurately represent the full computation of CosmoRec. We also include explicit time-dependent variations using a phenomenological power-law description. We reproduce previous Planck 2013 results in our analysis. Assuming constant variations relative to the standard values, we find the improved constraints $α_{\rm EM}/α_{\rm EM,0}=0.9993\pm 0.0025$ (CMB only) and $m_{\rm e}/m_{\rm e,0}= 1.0039 \pm 0.0074$ (including BAO) using Planck 2015 data. For a redshift-dependent variation, $α_{\rm EM}(z)=α_{\rm EM}(z_0)\,[(1+z)/1100]^p$ with $α_{\rm EM}(z_0)\equivα_{\rm EM,0}$ at $z_0=1100$, we obtain $p=0.0008\pm 0.0025$. Allowing simultaneous variations of $α_{\rm EM}(z_0)$ and $p$ yields $α_{\rm EM}(z_0)/α_{\rm EM,0} = 0.9998\pm 0.0036$ and $p = 0.0006\pm 0.0036$. We also discuss combined limits on $α_{\rm EM}$ and $m_{\rm e}$. Our analysis shows that existing data is not only sensitive to the value of the fundamental constants around recombination but also its first time derivative. This suggests that a wider class of varying fundamental constant models can be probed using the CMB.

Therefore, identifying the presence of the expansive montmorillonite clay mineral within the soil matrix using a simple and inexpensive method is of paramount importance. This paper presents a simple method of identifying the primary clay minerals, namely kaolinite, illite, and montmorillonite, in the soil matrix using Atterberg limits parameters, namely plasticity index, plastic limit, and slope of the fall cone curve (defined as 20/LL). The proposed methods can be used as a preliminary indicator method of identifying the presence of expansive clay minerals within the soil matrix before carrying out an expensive definitive method of identifying clay minerals, such as XRD

description: This paper begins with a study on the dual representations of risk and regret measures and their impact on modeling multistage decision making under uncertainty. A relationship between risk envelopes and regret envelopes is established by using the Lagrangian duality theory. Such a relationship opens a door to a decomposition scheme, called progressive hedging, for solving multistage risk minimization and regret minimization problems. In particular, the classical progressive hedging algorithm is modified in order to handle a new class of linkage constraints that arises from reformulations and other applications of risk and regret minimization problems. Numerical results are provided to show the efficiency of the progressive hedging algorithms.

description: In the present paper, we treat random matrix products on the general linear group $\textrm{GL}(V)$, where $V$ is a vector space defined on any local field, when the top Lyapunov exponent is simple, without irreducibility assumption. In particular, we show the existence and uniqueness of the stationary measure $ν$ on $\textrm{P}(V)$ that is relative to the top Lyapunov exponent and we describe the projective subspace generated by its support. We observe that the dynamics takes place in a open set of $\textrm{P}(V)$ which has the structure of a skew product space. Then, we relate this support to the limit set of the semi-group $T_μ$ of $\textrm{GL}(V)$ generated by the random walk. Moreover, we show that $ν$ has Hölder regularity and give some limit theorems concerning the behavior of the random walk and the probability of hitting a hyperplane. These results generalize known ones when $T_μ$ acts strongly irreducibly and proximally (i-p to abbreviate) on $V$. In particular, when applied to the affine group in the so-called contracting case or more generally when the Zariski closure of $T_μ$ is not necessarily reductive, the Hölder regularity of the stationary measure together with the description of the limit set are new. We mention that we don't use results from the i-p setting; rather we see it as a particular case.

description: We determine the Gross-Hopkins duals of certain higher real $K$-theory spectra. More specifically, let $p$ be an odd prime, and consider the Morava $E$-theory spectrum of height $n=p-1$. It is known, in the expert circles, that for certain finite subgroups $G$ of the Morava stabilizer group, the homotopy fixed point spectra $E_n^{hG}$ are Gross-Hopkins self-dual up to a shift. In this paper, we determine the shift for those finite subgroups $G$ which contain $p$-torsion. This generalizes previous results for $n=2$ and $p=3$.

description: This article explores the complex origins of the literary figure ‘Berliner Eckensteher’ around 1830. It analyses the sources of this figure in European visual and textual culture, its literary transformations and its different meanings. On the one hand, these figures were conceived as typical ‘biedermeierlich’, that is, as conforming to the social order, as drunken, dumb and harmless. On the other hand, and typical ‘vormärzlich’, they stood also for subversive protest against social repression and increasingly for the fight against reactionary politics. But: did Berlin ‘Eckensteher’ ever actually exist?

description: Let $H$ be the complex line $1+z_{1}+z_{2}=0$ in $(\mathbb{C}^{*})^{2}$ and $H_{trop}$ the associated phase tropical line. We show that $H$ and $H_{trop}$ are isotopic as topological submanifolds, by explicitly constructing an isotopy map.
title: Non-cognitive skills and the labour market: the past, the present and the future

description: The aim of this PhD thesis is to shed light on the role of non-cognitive skills in the labour market in the past, the present and the future. Increasingly, research considers how non-cognitive skills determine important work outcomes, such as wages. Knowing which non-cognitive skills have an impact on such outcomes is hence helpful for individuals wanting to upskill themselves or others. In this thesis I start by highlighting the importance of non-cognitive skills in rapidly changing labour markets in paper 1 and 2, which motivate the analyses in paper 3, 4 and 5. In paper 1, I synthesise the academic evidence on the role of non-cognitive skills. In paper 2, I analyse the impact of skills and abilities on the automatability of occupations. In paper 3, I focus on how a traditional measure of non-cognitive skills, the Big Five personality inventory, determines wage outcomes for men and women differently. I find that agreeableness is punished more for men than it is for women pointing at differential rewards to personality by gender. I extend paper 3 by looking at how the demand and reward for specific non-cognitive skills changes over time in paper 4. Increasing technological innovation and disruptions to modern labour markets are changing the way we work, and the skills required at work. I study a large data set of job advertisements to analyse which non-cognitive skills are rewarded over time and find that collaborative leadership skills are increasing in importance. Also, I find that data science skills are evolving rapidly with the need to upskill on them frequently. The importance of collaborative leadership raises the question what makes collaboration successful and how to measure it. Inclusion has been shown to be a determinant of successful group outcomes. In paper 5 of this thesis, I hence develop an ‘Individual Inclusiveness Inventory’ that focuses on measuring what makes an individual inclusive. It does so in the vein of developing a personality trait scale like the Big Five that fits current labour market needs. The scale is developed through interviews with experts in inclusion and based on literature. It is then validated using a sample of working individuals in the UK and linked to work outcomes. The resulting ‘Individual Inclusiveness Inventory’ consists of two factors where one factor captures an individual’s skill to foster belonging and uniqueness of co-workers and the other factor captures an individual’s openness to challenge others and to be challenged. I also find that it predicts labour market outcomes. Overall, my thesis contributes to past literature on non-cognitive skills and the labour market by offering new perspectives on non-cognitive skills in rapidly changing labour markets.

description: The model of humour comprehension-elaboration postulates that the feeling of amusement follows serially upon humour comprehension. Yet, in clinical practice, patients with impaired humour comprehension may show typical happy facial expressions, suggesting a preservation of amusement feeling. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis of a potential implicit processing pathway to add to the explicit pathway described in the model. Twenty healthy participants and two patients with cerebral tumour (LM and JM) completed a task of humour judgment during which their face was filmed. Two independent blinded raters quantified the happy facial expressions produced. The accuracy scores for humour judgment reflected humour comprehension while the number of happy facial expressions assessed amusement feeling. Patients’ results showed a case contrast. In accordance with the cognitive model of humour comprehension, JM’s scores for humour comprehension were not statistically different from those of the control group; however, he presented impaired facial expressions. LM, on the contrary, showed typical happy facial expressions despite humour comprehension deficits. This profile suggests the existence of a potential implicit pathway to feelings of amusement. A revision of the cognitive model is proposed by adding a potential implicit processing pathway to the explicit one already described.

description: In the past years, psychologists have been increasingly interested in feelings of “being moved” (or “touched”) and their impact on cognition and behaviour. However, to better understand their long-term impact, we need a validated measure of participants’ disposition to feel “moved”. In this paper, we introduce the Geneva Sentimentality Scale (GSS), a measure of participants’ disposition to feel moved. After describing its construction (Study 1) and confirming its structure and internal coherence (Study 2), we compare it to two other measures of participants’ disposition to feel moved: the Kama Muta Frequency scale (KAMF) and a single-item measure (“I often feel moved”). We show that all three measures reliably predict participants’ response to moving stimuli (Study 2) and their feelings of being moved in the past week (Study 3) and next week (Study 5). Moreover, we show that the GSS and KAMF have good test–retest reliability (Studies 4 & 5). Overall, we conclude that all three measures provide experimenters with useful tools to investigate the role feelings of being moved play in our lives.

description: Cultural norms may dictate how grief is displayed. The present study explores the display behaviours and rules in the bereavement context from a cross-cultural perspective. 86 German-speaking Swiss and 99 Chinese bereaved people who lost their first-degree relative completed the adapted bereavement version of the Display Rules Assessment Inventory. Results indicated that the German-speaking Swiss bereaved displayed more emotions than the Chinese bereaved. The Chinese bereaved, but not the German-speaking Swiss bereaved, thought that bereaved people should display more emotions than they actually did when they were with their close others (but not when they were alone). Bereaved people endorsed more emotional expression “when alone” than “when with close others”, demonstrating a social disconnection tendency, which was more evident in the Chinese sample. Bereaved people endorsed more expression of positive emotions (e.g. affection/love) and less expression of powerful negative emotions (e.g. blame/guilt, anger) across cultures. Compared to their Chinese counterparts, the German-speaking Swiss sample indicated more actual expressions for most emotion types (i.e. joy/happiness, affection/love, sadness, anger, and denial) but thought bereaved people should express more joy/happiness and less blame/guilt. The results suggest that bereaved people’s display behaviours and rules are influenced by culture, situation, and type of emotion.
