description: This paper reviews some of our contributions to reconfigurable metamaterials, where dynamic control is enabled by micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. First, we show reconfigurable composite right/left handed transmission lines (CRLH-TLs) having state of the art phase velocity variation and loss, thereby enabling efficient reconfigurable phase shifters and leaky-wave antennas (LWA). Second, we present very low loss metasurface designs with reconfigurable reflection properties, applicable in reflectarrays and partially reflective surface (PRS) antennas. All the presented devices have been fabricated and experimentally validated. They operate in X- and Ku-bands.

description: In this paper, we address the space-time decay properties for strong solutions to the incompressible viscous resistive Hall-MHD equations. We obtained the same space-time decay rates as those of the heat equation. Based on the temporal decay results in \cite{cs}, we find that one can obtain weighted estimates of the magnetic field $B$ by direct weighted energy estimate, and then by regarding the magnetic convection term as a forcing term in the velocity equations, we can obtain the weighted estimates for the vorticity, which yields the corresponding estimates for the velocity field. The higher order derivative estimates will be obtained by using a parabolic interpolation inequality proved in \cite{k01}. It should be emphasized that the the magnetic field has stronger decay properties than the velocity field in the sense that there is no restriction on the exponent of the weight. The same arguments also yield the sharp space-time decay rates for strong solutions to the usual MHD equations.

description: Magnetic fields of laboratory, planetary, stellar, and galactic plasmas commonly exhibit significant order on large temporal or spatial scales compared to the otherwise random motions within the hosting system. Such ordered fields can be measured in the case of planets, stars, and galaxies, or inferred indirectly by the action of their dynamical influence, such as jets. Whether large scale fields are amplified in situ or a remnant from previous stages of an object's history is often debated for objects without a definitive magnetic activity cycle. Magnetic helicity, a measure of twist and linkage of magnetic field lines, is a unifying tool for understanding large scale field evolution for both mechanisms of origin. Its importance stems from its two basic properties: (1) magnetic helicity is typically better conserved than magnetic energy; and (2) the magnetic energy associated with a fixed amount of magnetic helicity is minimized when the system relaxes this helical structure to the largest scale available. Here I discuss how magnetic helicity has come to help us understand the saturation of and sustenance of large scale dynamos, the need for either local or global helicity fluxes to avoid dynamo quenching, and the associated observational consequences. I also discuss how magnetic helicity acts as a hindrance to turbulent diffusion of large scale fields, and thus a helper for fossil remnant large scale field origin models in some contexts. I briefly discuss the connection between large scale fields and accretion disk theory as well. The goal here is to provide a conceptual primer to help the reader efficiently penetrate the literature.

description: The hypersensitive reaction (HR) in plants is characterized by locally induced cell death in the presence of pathogen effectors to contain the spread of the microorganism. This HR depends on a network of NLR receptors that specifically interact with the effector and communicate the signal to NRC proteins, which are responsible for cell death by forming an oligomer (or resistosome) that inserts into the membrane, disrupting ion homeostasis. The plant-pathogenic nematode Globodera rostochiensis produces effectors of the SPRYSEC family, one of which (SPRYSEC15) directly binds to and inhibits the activity of NRC2 and NRC3, which act downstream of the receptor. This implies that the gene-for-gene evolutionary model of the effector-receptor interaction can extend to other members of this immune system, imposing selective pressure on the host to prevent interaction. In this work, we analyze the evolutionary history of the interaction between SPRYSEC15 and NRC3.

description: The digitization of almost all sectors of life and the quickly growing complexity of interrelationships between actors in this digital world leads to a dramatically increasing attack surface regarding both direct and also indirect attacks over the supply chain. These supply chain attacks can have different characters, e.g., vulnerabilities and backdoors in hardware and software, illegitimate access by compromised service providers, or trust relationships to suppliers and customers exploited in the course of business email compromise. To address this challenge and create visibility along these supply chains, threat-related data needs to be rapidly exchanged and correlated over organizational borders. The publicly funded project MANTRA is meant to create a secure and resilient framework for real-time exchange of cyberattack patterns and automated, contextualized risk management. The novel graph-based approach provides benefits for automation regarding cybersecurity management, especially when it comes to prioriization of measures for risk reduction and during active defense against cyberattacks. In this paper, we outline MANTRA’s scope, objectives, envisioned scientific approach, and challenges.
Asymmetric band widening by screened exchange competing with local correlations in SrVO3: new surprises on an old compound from combined GW and dynamical mean field theory GW+DMFT

description: The very first dynamical implementation of the combined GW and dynamical mean field scheme "GW+DMFT" for a real material was achieved recently [J.M. Tomczak et al., Europhys. Lett. 100 67001 (2012)], and applied to the ternary transition metal oxide SrVO3. Here, we review and extend that work, giving not only a detailed account of full GW+DMFT calculations, but also discussing and testing simplified approximate schemes. We give insights into the nature of exchange and correlation effects: Dynamical renormalizations in the Fermi liquid regime of SrVO3 are essentially local, and nonlocal correlations mainly act to screen the Fock exchange term. The latter substantially widens the quasi-particle band structure, while the band narrowing induced by the former is accompanied by a spectral weight transfer to higher energies. Most interestingly, the exchange broadening is much more pronounced in the unoccupied part of spectrum. As a result, the GW+DMFT electronic structure of SrVO3 resembles the conventional density functional based dynamical mean field (DFT+DMFT) description for occupied states, but is profoundly modified in the empty part. Our work leads to a reinterpretation of inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) data. Indeed, we assign a prominent peak at about 2.7 eV dominantly to eg states, rather than to an upper Hubbard band of t2g character. Similar surprises can be expected for other transition metal oxides, calling for more detailed investigations of the conduction band states.

Studying the contribution of order and disorder in α-Synuclein membrane binding using molecular dynamics
Creators: name: Navarro Paya, Carlos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: α-Synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein with a critical role in the development of many neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease. The aggregation processes leading to its pathogenicity as well as many of its putative physiological roles are greatly influenced by its dynamic and modular membrane binding capabilities. Upon binding, under normal physiological conditions, α-Synuclein shows distinct levels of structure formation along its sequence with varying levels of association with the lipid membrane. Dynamic properties at the interphase of membrane association are key for understanding α-Synuclein's physiological and pathological roles and is therefore of chief interest. In this thesis, I develop various coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) models to study the contribution of order and disorder to the modular and dynamic membrane interaction of the different regions of α-Synuclein. The CG-MD membrane binding assays, and population models here presented have allowed the observation of the conformational specific contributions towards membrane binding of the different regions of α-Synuclein. The residue specific resolution of these assays resulted in a better understanding of the N-terminal anchor and central region binding mechanisms. A better understanding of the initiation and stabilisation of the N-terminal was achieved through the study of key mutations in the region, with membrane binding assays. A combination of membrane binding assays and NMR-driven population studies revealed the potentially faster dynamics of the binding of the central region, allowing for a kinetically more favourable double anchor mechanism, involved in synaptic vesicle clustering at synaptic terminals.

description: This paper discusses the challenges of transitioning from legacy federated identity systems to emerging decentralized identity technologies based on self-sovereign identities (SSI) and verifiable credentials, which are being used in initiatives such as Gaia-X and Catena-X for secure and sovereign data sharing. The adoption of SSI and decentralized identity technologies requires a standardized reference model that addresses challenges around trust in cross-border and crossorganizational federations based on decentralized identities. To facilitate this transition, the paper proposes a new Fed2SSI architecture that introduces a middle layer of abstraction for the policybased transformation of credentials, enabling interoperability between legacy federated identity solutions and SSI/decentralized identity environments. The architecture is implemented in a prototype and an exemplary use case is presented to illustrate the added value of this approach.

description: The subject of this document is research ethics. The focus of "research ethics" is a very practical one: How should we as researchers act? Unfortunately, the choices we face are not always clear. And even those cases that are clear may at times be better characterized as "right vs. right" rather than "right vs. wrong," For these reasons, our obligation is not necessary to make the right decisions but to strive to make the best possible decisions. In this context, "ethics" should not be confused with ethical theory, morality, and/or simply following the rules.

As you read this document, please consider it only a starting point. You are encouraged to raise questions and initiate discussion about these issues with your teachers, your mentors, your peers, or your students or trainees.

description: The inverse reflector problem arises in geometrical nonimaging optics: Given a light source and a target, the question is how to design a reflecting free-form surface such that a desired light density distribution is generated on the target, e.g., a projected image on a screen. This optical problem can mathematically be understood as a problem of optimal transport and equivalently be expressed by a secondary boundary value problem of the Monge-Ampère equation, which consists of a highly nonlinear partial differential equation of second order and constraints. In our approach the Monge-Ampère equation is numerically solved using a collocation method based on tensor-product B-splines, in which nested iteration techniques are applied to ensure the convergence of the nonlinear solver and to speed up the calculation. In the numerical method special care has to be taken for the constraint: It enters the discrete problem formulation via a Picard-type iteration. Numerical results are presented as well for benchmark problems for the standard Monge-Ampère equation as for the inverse reflector problem for various images. The designed reflector surfaces are validated by a forward simulation using ray tracing.

title: Financial advisor ethics: how institutional logics and self-determination influence advisors and their fiduciary duty
Creators: name: Rubin, Gary Douglas
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: In the United States, Registered Investment Advisor firms have a legal and arguably moral duty to provide advice in the best interest of their clients. However, advisors sometimes fall short of their responsibility leading to clients receiving suboptimal advice, paying for services they do not need, or willingly paying for needed advisory services but are underserved. To find solutions, the researcher begins by determining what gives rise to ethical failures among financial advisors. For this purpose, the researcher investigates competing intra-institutional logics at a large U.S.-based financial advisory firm utilizing a Q methodology study and semi-structured interviews. Institutional logics theory and self-determination theory constitute the theoretical lenses used in the thesis. The current state of the literature is robust insofar as works relating to various forms of institutional logics and self-determination theory. However, the institutional logics literature is not so well developed regarding intra-institutional logics, which is the relevant issue here. Regarding self-determination theory, where the availability of relevant literature is deep, the researcher finds room to fill a gap by proposing a novel theoretical contribution to update the current self-determination theory framework model. At its essence, the thesis is a work about professional ethics with financial advisors as the focus. Within works found in the popular press, one can discover many articles dealing with financial advisor ethics. However, based on a systematic literature review, the same cannot be said for peer-reviewed academic works. This PhD research project is intended to help fill this along with the aforementioned gaps. The researcher also touches on agency theory and why it was not chosen as a theoretical lens to examine the organization, even though some might assume it would have been an obvious choice. The emperical contribution derives from findings suggesting that although advisors are intrinsically motivated and care about client wellbeing, they lack sufficient autonomy, are unduly influenced by sales pressure, and are uneasy working in a sales culture that undermines executing their fiduciary responsibilities. The researcher concludes that it is necessary to change the standards for advisor performance evaluations and compensation plans for which recommendations are provided.

description: The spin is an important property of a particle. Although it is unlikely to happen, there is still a possibility that two particle with different spins share similar masses. In this paper, we propose a method to probe this kind of mass degeneracy of particles with different spins. We will use the cascade decay $B^+\to X(3872)K^+$, $X(3872)\to D^+D^-$ to explain our method. It can be seen that the possible mass degeneracy of $X(3872)$ can lead interesting behavior in the corresponding cascade decay.

Statistical properties of astrophysical gravitational-wave backgrounds

description: We investigate how a stochastic gravitational wave background, produced from a discrete set of astrophysical sources, differs from an idealised model consisting of an isotropic, unpolarised, and Gaussian background. We focus, in particular, on the different signatures produced from these two cases, as observed in a cross-correlation search. We show that averaged over many realisations of an astrophysical background, the cross-correlation measurement of an astrophysical background is identical to that of an idealised background. However, any one realisation of an astrophysical background can produce a different signature. Using a model consisting of an ensemble of binary neutron star coalescences, we quantify the typical difference between the signal from individual realisations of the astrophysical background and the idealised case. For advanced detectors, we find that, using a cross-correlation analysis, astrophysical backgrounds from many discrete sources are probably indistinguishable from an idealised background.

Release of Arabidopsis seed dormancy by cold atmospheric plasma relies on cytoplasmic glass transition

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When mature Arabidopsis thaliana seeds are dormant, their germination is prevented in apparently favourable conditions. This primary dormancy can be released during seed dry storage through a process called after-ripening whose duration can last several months. To reduce this delay, cold atmospheric plasmas (CAP) can be used as sources of reactive oxygen species capable of inducing heterogeneous chemical reactions. While CAP are known to stimulate the germination of various seed species, the relationship between CAP treatments and the amorphous solid state of dry seeds remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that seed dormancy can be alleviated using a cold plasma of ambient air and that this alleviation can be amplified for seeds with high water-content (typically 30 %DW) or seeds heated at 60 °C during plasma treatment. Differential scanning micro-calorimetry shows that these characteristics control the glassy/rubbery state of the seed cytoplasm. This technique indicates also that a glass transition to the rubbery state strengthens the CAP effects to alleviate seed dormancy. We propose that lower cytoplasmic viscosity can promote the oxidative signaling induced by CAP which, in turn, improves the germination process.

The Inflaton as a MSSM Higgs and Open String Modulus Monodromy Inflation

description: It has been recently pointed out that the polarization BICEP2 results are consistent with the identification of an inflaton mass m \simeq 10^{13} GeV with the SUSY breaking scale in an MSSM with a fine-tuned SM Higgs. This identification leads to a Higgs mass m_h \simeq 126 GeV, consistent with LHC measurements. Here we propose that this naturally suggests to identify the inflaton with the heavy MSSM Higgs system. The fact that the extrapolated Higgs coupling lambda_{SM}\simeq 0 at scales below the Planck scale suggests the Higgs degrees of freedom could be associated to a Wilson line or D-brane position modulus in string theory. The Higgs system then has a shift symmetry and an N=2 structure which guarantees that its potential has an approximate quadratic chaotic inflation form. These moduli in string compactifications, being compact, allow for a trans-Planckian inflaton field range analogous to a version of monodromy inflation.

From Basics to Frontiers: A Comprehensive Review of Plasma-Modified and Plasma-Synthesized Polymer Films

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This comprehensive review begins by tracing the historical development and progress of cold plasma technology as an innovative approach to polymer engineering. The study emphasizes the versatility of cold plasma derived from a variety of sources including low-pressure glow discharges (e.g., radiofrequency capacitively coupled plasmas) and atmospheric pressure plasmas (e.g., dielectric barrier devices, piezoelectric plasmas). It critically examines key operational parameters such as reduced electric field, pressure, discharge type, gas type and flow rate, substrate temperature, gap, and how these variables affect the properties of the synthesized or modified polymers. This review also discusses the application of cold plasma in polymer surface modification, underscoring how changes in surface properties (e.g., wettability, adhesion, biocompatibility) can be achieved by controlling various surface processes (etching, roughening, crosslinking, functionalization, crystallinity). A detailed examination of Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) reveals its efficacy in producing thin polymeric films from an array of precursors. Yasuda's models, Rapid Step-Growth Polymerization (RSGP) and Competitive Ablation Polymerization (CAP), are explained as fundamental mechanisms underpinning plasma-assisted deposition and polymerization processes. Then, the wide array of applications of cold plasma technology is explored, from the biomedical field, where it is used in creating smart drug delivery systems and biodegradable polymer implants, to its role in enhancing the performance of membrane-based filtration systems crucial for water purification, gas separation, and energy production. It investigates the potential for improving the properties of bioplastics and the exciting prospects for developing self-healing materials using this technology.
“This Great Circle of Trade and Navigation": Infrastructure and the Deregulation of the Slave Trade

Subjects: subject: Royal African Company

description: The projection of authority and control into remote parts of the empire was perennially a problem for early modern politicians, who constantly debated about whether and how it should be done. They sought ways to compensate for the elements of randomness and delay which were inevitably introduced by the technological limitations of the time; solutions and workarounds for these problems were of paramount importance to imperial commentators and figured heavily in their pamphleteering. Proposed solutions were often divided along partisan lines, however, with Tories and Company men emphasizing the importance of forts and deep networks of diplomacy and engagement while Whigs and private traders focused on maximizing shipping volume and profits. Tories aimed to reserve the responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of the African forts in the hands of the Royal African Company, whereas Whigs proposed to transfer those assets to the Crown. This seemingly minor fiscal question was, in fact, a fight over the future of the Empire; both sides were articulating their own ideas about imperial commerce and what it should accomplish. Attention to these contradictory understandings of how the colonies should be administered and what that administration should look like is key to understanding this dispute, its myriad wide-ranging consequences, and the economic history of the empire through the eighteenth century.
Towards a geometry-selective alkene metathesis method to form new trisubstituted alkenes in functionalised terpenoids

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis describes synthetic attempts at geometry-selective formation of new terpenoid, trisubstituted olefins via olefin metathesis reactions between a terpenoid and a suitable trisubstituted olefin. This thesis was divided into three parts, with experimental procedures and appendices included to cover practical details and spectroscopic data. The first part of this thesis introduces the theoretical background of terpene synthesis and olefin metathesis, with an emphasis on the recent development of geometry-selective metathesis. The second part of this thesis describes the relay cross-metathesis approach in the synthesis of terpenoid, trisubstituted olefins and efforts on altering the E/Z-selectivity in this process. The third part of this thesis describes attempts at developing geometry-selective relay ring-closing metathesis methods between terpenoid, trisubstituted olefins.

description: Identity wallets enable the management and use of digital identities and verification documents stored in one app. Users manage their data independently and decide for themselves which data they want to disclose for identification purposes. Recent research shows that current digital wallets face many usability problems, which makes it difficult for users to grasp their concept and how to use them. This paper presents an enhanced concept of a wallet, where its functionality is presented with user scenarios that have a user centric approach. The user scenarios illustrate a variety of possible uses of the wallet. For example, the new wallet concept envisions, how data can be transferred from one wallet to another person's wallet, how data can be managed by different people in one wallet, or how only individual pieces of information from credentials can be shared to maintain greater privacy for users.

description: We study Renyi and von-Neumann entanglement entropy of excited states created by local operators in large N (or large central charge) CFTs. First we point that a naive large N expansion can break down for the von-Neumann entanglement entropy, while it does not for the Renyi entanglement entropy. This happens even for the excited states in free Yang-Mills theories. Next, we analyze strongly coupled large N CFTs from both field theoretic and holographic viewpoints. We find that the Renyi entanglement entropy of the excited state produced by a local operator, grows logarithmically under its time evolution and its coefficient is proportional to the conformal dimension of the local operator.
