description: This work considers the fabrication of ceramic parts with the help of an additive manufacturing process, robocasting, in which a paste with suspended particles is robotically extruded. Within the final part, the material properties depend on the orientation of the particles. A prediction of the particle orientation is challenging as the part usually undergoes multiple processing steps with varying contributions to the orientation. As the main contribution to the final particle orientation arises from the extrusion process, many corresponding prediction models have been suggested. Robocasting involves, however, further processing steps that are less studied as they have a smaller influence on the orientation. One of the processing steps is drying by natural convection, which follows directly after the extrusion process. A quantification of the reorientation that occurs during drying is mostly unknown and usually neglected in the models. Therefore, we studied the amount of reorientation of suspended particles in robocasted green filaments during drying in detail. For our study, we applied the discrete element method, as it meets various requirements: The exact particle geometry can be resolved precisely; particle–particle interactions can be described; the paste composition is reproduced exactly; the initial particle orientation can be set in accordance with the prediction from the analytical models for the extrusion part; macroscopic force laws exist to represent capillary forces due to the remaining fluid phase that remains during drying. From our study, we concluded that the magnitude of particle reorientation during drying is small compared to the orientation occurring during the extrusion process itself. Consequently, reorientation during drying might further be neglected within analytical orientation prediction models.
title: The development of a microsimulation decision-support tool for national and regional nicotine and tobacco control policies
Creators: name: Huang, Wanjing
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: In England, smoking prevalence has almost halved over the past four decades. However, substantial inequalities remain. Furthermore, electronic cigarette usage is rapidly increasing, especially among young people. I therefore aimed to develop a microsimulation model to help inform future tobacco control decision-making, both locally and nationally. 
I first systematically reviewed previously published tobacco control Policy Simulation Models (PSMs) (Chapter 2). Based on that analysis, I proposed a quality framework (Chapter 3) to facilitate the development of a new, high-quality tobacco control PSM explicitly addressing model inputs, structure, and outputs. 
I then developed and refined a novel tobacco control microsimulation model, IMPACTHINT (Chapter 4), which sought to meet these quality criteria. I then used it to quantify and compare the 50-year health, economics and equity impacts of five potential tobacco control policies: simply continuing the status quo; increasing the minimum age of access to tobacco to 21 years; increasing tobacco duty by 30%; improving smoking cessation services; or combining improved smoking cessation services with a 30% tobacco duty increase. 
Combining increased taxation and improved smoking cessation services appeared to be the best strategy applied nationally (Chapter 5). However, none of the enhanced policies would reduce smoking prevalence below 5% by 2030 (tobacco-free generation definition). Furthermore, the most deprived fifth of the population might take 6 years longer to achieve that ‘tobacco-free’ 5% target than the most affluent quintile. 
In Chapter 6, I focused on England’s North West region, which historically has an even higher smoking-related disease burden. All additional policies would reduce smoking prevalence, with the combined policy again representing the most effective and equitable approach. 
I then considered electronic cigarettes (eCigs), and reviewed the methodologies used by existing eCigs PSMs (Chapter 7). Few considered any possible ‘gateway effect’ in youngsters, and none assessed equity outcomes. Furthermore, a quarter of the models were industry-funded mostly just reporting mortality and morbidity outcomes. 
Lastly, I extended IMPACTHINT to project eCigs trends in England over the next 15 years (Chapter 8). By 2027, vaping prevalence is likely to overtake smoking prevalence. Furthermore, by 2038, eCig use could double to approximately 20% overall, perhaps exceeding 23% in more deprived groups. 
In conclusion, building on earlier tobacco and eCigs policy simulation models, I developed, calibrated and validated IMPACTHINT . I demonstrated its utility for simulating health, economic and equity impacts, and generated outputs of potential value for regional and national policymaking.

description: Numerical evaluation of performance measures in heavy-tailed risk models is an important and challenging problem. In this paper, we construct very accurate approximations of such performance measures that provide small absolute and relative errors. Motivated by statistical analysis, we assume that the claim sizes are a mixture of a phase-type and a heavy-tailed distribution and with the aid of perturbation analysis we derive a series expansion for the performance measure under consideration. Our proposed approximations consist of the first two terms of this series expansion, where the first term is a phase-type approximation of our measure. We refer to our approximations collectively as corrected phase-type approximations. We show that the corrected phase-type approximations exhibit a nice behavior both in finite and infinite time horizon, and we check their accuracy through numerical experiments.

description: Negative differential resistance (NDR) with room temperature peak-valley-ratio of 8 has been observed in a ballistic field-effect-transistor (FET) based on graphene, having an oblique top gate. Graphene FETs with a top gate inclination angle of 45 degrees and a drain-source distance of 400 nm were fabricated on a chip cut from a 4 inch graphene wafer grown by CVD. From the 60 measured devices, NDR was observed only in the regions where the CVD graphene displays the Raman signature of defectless monolayers. In other specific positions on the wafer, where graphene quality was not high enough and the Raman signature indicated the presence of defects, the ballistic character of transport is lost and the graphene FETs display nonlinear drain-voltage dependences tuned by the top and back gate voltage.

description: We present a new generic framework which enables exact and fast evaluation of all multi-particle azimuthal correlations. The framework can be readily used along with a correction framework for systematic biases in anisotropic flow analyses due to various detector inefficiencies. A new recursive algorithm has been developed for higher order correlators for the cases where their direct implementation is not feasible. We propose and discuss new azimuthal observables for anisotropic flow analyses which can be measured for the first time with our new framework. Effects of finite detector granularity on multi-particle correlations are quantified and discussed in detail. We point out the existence of a systematic bias in traditional differential flow analyses which stems solely from the applied selection criteria on particles used in the analyses, and is also present in the ideal case when only flow correlations are present. Finally, we extend the applicability of our generic framework to the case of differential multi-particle correlations.

description: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is one of the few remaining areas of physical chemistry for which polynomially scaling simulation methods have not so far been available. Here, we report such a method and illustrate its performance by simulating common 2D and 3D liquid state NMR experiments (including accurate description of spin relaxation processes) on isotopically enriched human ubiquitin - a protein containing over a thousand nuclear spins forming an irregular polycyclic three-dimensional coupling lattice. The algorithm uses careful tailoring of the density operator space to only include nuclear spin states that are populated to a significant extent. The reduced state space is generated by analyzing spin connectivity and decoherence properties: rapidly relaxing states as well as correlations between topologically remote spins are dropped from the basis set. In the examples provided, the resulting reduction in the quantum mechanical simulation time is by many orders of magnitude.

description: The presence of even small amount of surfactant at the particle-laden fluid interface subjected to shear makes surface flow incompressible if the shear rate is small enough [T. M. Fischer et al, J. Fluid Mech. 558, 451 (2006)]. In the present paper the effective surface shear viscosity of a flat, low-concentration, particle-laden incompressible interface separating two immiscible fluids is calculated. The resulting value is found to be 7.6% larger than the value obtained without account for surface incompressibility.

description: We analyse the inverse reduced fluctuations (inverse ratio of relative volume fluctuation to its value in the hypothetical case where the substance acts an ideal gas for the same temperature-volume parameters) for simple liquids from experimental acoustic and thermophysical data along a coexistence line for both liquid and vapour phases. It has been determined that this quantity has a universal exponential character within the region close to the melting point. This behaviour satisfies the predictions of the mean-field (grand canonical ensemble) lattice fluid model and relates to the constant average structure of a fluid, i.e. redistribution of the free volume complementary to a number of vapour particles. The interconnection between experiment-based fluctuational parameters and self-diffusion characteristics is discussed. These results may suggest experimental methods for determination of self-diffusion and structural properties of real substances.

description: Nanomaterials are prone to influence by chemical adsorption because of their large surface to volume ratios. This enables sensitive detection of adsorbed chemical species which, in turn, can tune the property of the host material. Recent studies discovered that single and multilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS_2) films are ultra sensitive to several important environmental molecules. Here we report new findings from ab initio calculations that reveal substantially enhanced adsorption of NO and NH3 on strained monolyaer MoS2 with significant impact on the properties of the adsorbates and MoS2 layer. The magnetic moment of adsobed NO can be turned between 0 and 1 uB, strain also induces an electronic phase transition between half-metal and metal. Adsorption of NH3 weakens the MoS2 layer considerably, which explains the large discrepacy between the experimentally measured strength and breaking strain of MoS2 film from previous theoretical predictions. On the other hand, adsorption of NO2, CO and CO2 is insensitive to the strain condition in the MoS2 layer. This contrasting behavior allows sensitive strain engineering of selective chemical adsorption on MoS2 with effective tuning of mechanical, electronic and magnetic properties. These result suggest new design strategies for constructing MoS2 based ultrahigh sensitivity nanoscale sensor and electromechanical devices.

description: Gravity waves (or their signatures) are detected in stars thanks to helio- and asteroseismology and they may play an important role in the evolution of stellar angular momentum. Moreover, the observational study of the CoRoT target HD51452 by Neiner and collaborators demonstrated the potential strong impact of rotation on the stochastic excitation of gravito-inertial waves in stellar interiors. Our goal is to explore the action of rotation on the stochastic excitation of gravity and gravito-inertial waves in stars. The dynamics of gravito-inertial waves in stellar interiors, both in radiation and in convection zones, is described with a local non-traditional f-plane model. Their couplings with convective turbulent flows is studied in this framework. First, we find that, in the super-inertial regime in which the wave frequency is over twice the rotation frequency, the evanescence of gravito-inertial waves in convective regions decreases with decreasing wave frequency. Next, in the sub-inertial regime, gravito-inertial waves become purely propagative inertial waves in convection zones. Simultaneously, turbulence in convective regions is modified by rotation. Indeed, the turbulent energy cascade towards small scales is slowed down and in the case of rapid rotation, strongly anisotropic turbulent flows are obtained that can be understood as complex non-linear triadic interactions of propagative inertial waves. These different behaviours, due to the action of the Coriolis acceleration, strongly modify the wave couplings with turbulent flows. On one hand, turbulence weakly influenced by rotation is coupled with evanescent gravito-inertial waves. On the other hand, rapidly rotating turbulence is intrinsically and strongly coupled with sub-inertial waves.

Research in Sample Farm Census Methodology: Part I -- Comparative Statistical Efficiency of Sampling Units Smaller than the Minor Civil Division for Estimating Year-to-Year Change

description: Objectives of the Study: The problem of determining the correct sampling procedure for a sample census of agriculture involves two fundamental considerations: (1) the determination of type of sampling unit that will, under a given set of conditions, give the greatest accuracy with the minimum of administrative difficulty and cost; and (2) the determination of the size of sample necessary for a specified standard of accuracy. The expense of taking an annual sample census of agriculture would probably be difficult to justify unless such an enumeration-survey would furnish the basic data necessary for making estimates on major agricultural items by counties or type-of-farming areas. Accordingly, a project was outlined in September 1937 for investigating the statistical possibilities of sampling units smaller than the Minor Civil Division with respect to the measurement of year-to-year change on a county basis.

The contributions coming from diagonal transitions of the positive-parity baryons, and also from non-diagonal transition between positive and negative-parity baryons are eliminated by considering the combinations of different sum rules corresponding to the different Lorentz structures. A comparison of our results on magnetic moments of the negative-parity baryons with the other approaches existing in literature is presented.

description: Research on the synthesis of organosulfur compounds is an attractive research fields among synthetic chemists. Diaryl sulfides and benzothiophenes are important organosulfur compounds with a diverse range of biological activities which are privileged in the structure of numerous biological molecules and natural products. In this paper, we successfully fabricated copper complex supported on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles modified with imine-thiazole ligand and studied its catalytic activity in the synthesis of diaryl sulfides and benzothiophenes. The structure of Fe3O4@SiO2-(Imine-Thiazole)-Cu(OAc)2 nanomaterial was well characterized by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum, transmission electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) techniques. The Fe3O4@SiO2-(Imine-Thiazole)-Cu(OAc)2 catalyst could be recovered via magnetic attraction and (upon washing with an organic phase and water) could be reused at least seven runs without a noticeable decrease in its performance.

description: The synthesis of novel S-BINOL-based 1, 2, 3-triazoles were carried out by using efficient synthetic protocol with high yields from S-BINOL (1) as the backbone and amide subunits. Selective sensing of iodide and magnesium was observed due to nonbonding interaction of the ions with BINOL-based 1, 2, 3-triazoles tweezers (6). Significantly strong association constant, 1.897 × 105 M−1, was observed for interaction of host with iodide ions and 0.974 × 105 M−1 with magnesium ions. The recorded association constant value for iodide sensing and magnesium sensing is among the best reported so far and this is attributed to tweezer arms with helical BINOL backbone, 1,2,3-Triazoles with acidic proton and electron rich nitrogen atoms, a structural feature suitable for binding with cations and anions. The stronger binding is also attributed to involvement of amide units in bringing the two tweezer arms closer and involvement of the amide unit in binding with ions.
Silicon supplementation and jasmonate activation synergistically increase phenolic defences against a legume herbivore

Subjects: Community ecology (excl. invasive species ecology)

description: 1. The accumulation of silicon (Si) is widely reported to have anti-herbivore defensive properties in grasses. There is emerging, but fragmentary, evidence that Si could play a similar role in legumes. 2. Here, we sought to understand the effects of Si supplementation on anti-herbivore defensive properties in lucerne (Medicago sativa), especially in relation to other potential defences (i.e. phenolics) and the phytohormone that regulates anti-herbivore defences, jasmonic acid or jasmonate (JA), which is also linked to Si accumulation. 3. We determined how growth, root nodulation and chemistry (carbon, nitrogen and phenolic concentrations) of four genotypes of lucerne responded to Si supplementation, with and without the application of JA, and we used feeding assays to determine the subsequent effects on the feeding success of adult Sitona discoideus weevils. 4. Si supplementation increased plant mass and root nodulation of M. sativa by 61% and 227%, respectively, and reduced relative consumption (RC) and frass production by S. discoideus by 38% and 30%, respectively. Si supplementation had no effect on foliar nitrogen concentrations, most likely due to the dilution effects of increased plant growth and foliar carbon. Phenolic concentrations were negatively correlated with leaf RC; RC also decreased by 34% when JA was applied to plants. When Si was combined with JA application, phenolics were significantly enhanced, demonstrating the potential to stimulate multiple anti-herbivore properties in M. sativa. 5. Synthesis. The novel findings suggest that Si accumulation may play a more important role in legume resistance to herbivorous animals than previously thought. The ubiquity of soil Si and its emerging functional role in plant biology, including plant–animal interactions, suggest that these patterns could be common amongst legumes.

description: A large fraction of cool, low-mass stars exhibit brightness fluctuations that arise from a combination of convective granulation, acoustic oscillations, magnetic activity, and stellar rotation. Much of the short-timescale variability takes the form of stochastic noise, whose presence may limit the progress of extrasolar planet detection and characterization. In order to lay the groundwork for extracting useful information from these quasi-random signals, we focus on the origin of the granulation-driven component of the variability. We apply existing theoretical scaling relations to predict the star-integrated variability amplitudes for 508 stars with photometric light curves measured by the Kepler mission. We also derive an empirical correction factor that aims to account for the suppression of convection in F-dwarf stars with magnetic activity and shallow convection zones. So that we can make predictions of specific observational quantities, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of granulation light curves using a Lorentzian power spectrum. These simulations allowed us to reproduce the so-called "flicker floor" (i.e., a lower bound in the relationship between the full light-curve range and power in short-timescale fluctuations) that was found in the Kepler data. The Monte Carlo model also enabled us to convert the modeled fluctuation variance into a flicker amplitude directly comparable with observations. When the magnetic suppression factor described above is applied, the model reproduces the observed correlation between stellar surface gravity and flicker amplitude. Observationally validated models like these provide new and complementary evidence for a possible impact of magnetic activity on the properties of near-surface convection.

description: A series of Piperazine containing substituted 1,2,3-triazoles with amide linkage have been designed and synthesized via click reaction between 1-aryl-4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)piperazines and N-aralkyl-2-bromoacetamides. All synthesized triazoles were explicated by various spectral techniques like 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Fourier transform infrared and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against different strains viz. Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger reflecting moderate to good activity, while compound 7u displayed appreciable activity with minimum inhibitory concentration 0.0248 µmol/mL. Molecular docking studies of the potent compounds 7r and 7u were also explored. The ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion) studies of the synthesized triazoles were also carried out to prospect drug likes properties.
On the transition to turbulence of wall-bounded flows in general, and plane Couette flow in particular

description: The main part of this contribution to the special issue of EJM-B/Fluids dedicated to Patrick Huerre outlines the problem of the subcritical transition to turbulence in wall-bounded flows in its historical perspective with emphasis on plane Couette flow, the flow generated between counter-translating parallel planes. Subcritical here means discontinuous and direct, with strong hysteresis. This is due to the existence of nontrivial flow regimes between the global stability threshold Re_g, the upper bound for unconditional return to the base flow, and the linear instability threshold Re_c characterized by unconditional departure from the base flow. The transitional range around Re_g is first discussed from an empirical viewpoint (§1). The recent determination of Re_g for pipe flow by Avila et al. (2011) is recalled. Plane Couette flow is next examined. In laboratory conditions, its transitional range displays an oblique pattern made of alternately laminar and turbulent bands, up to a third threshold Re_t beyond which turbulence is uniform. Our current theoretical understanding of the problem is next reviewed (§2): linear theory and non-normal amplification of perturbations; nonlinear approaches and dynamical systems, basin boundaries and chaotic transients in minimal flow units; spatiotemporal chaos in extended systems and the use of concepts from statistical physics, spatiotemporal intermittency and directed percolation, large deviations and extreme values. Two appendices present some recent personal results obtained in plane Couette flow about patterning from numerical simulations and modeling attempts.

description: We analyzed 3 years of data from the Kepler space mission to derive rotation periods of main-sequence stars below 6500 K. Our automated autocorrelation-based method detected rotation periods between 0.2 and 70 days for 34,030 (25.6%) of the 133,030 main-sequence Kepler targets (excluding known eclipsing binaries and Kepler Objects of Interest), making this the largest sample of stellar rotation periods to date. In this paper we consider the detailed features of the now well-populated period-temperature distribution and demonstrate that the period bimodality, first seen by McQuillan, Aigrain & Mazeh (2013) in the M-dwarf sample, persists to higher masses, becoming less visible above 0.6 M_sun. We show that these results are globally consistent with the existing ground-based rotation-period data and find that the upper envelope of the period distribution is broadly consistent with a gyrochronological age of 4.5 Gyrs, based on the isochrones of Barnes (2007), Mamajek & Hillenbrand (2008) and Meibom et al. (2009). We also performed a detailed comparison of our results to those of Reinhold et al. (2013) and Nielsen et al. (2013), who have measured rotation periods of field stars observed by Kepler. We examined the amplitude of periodic variability for the stars with detected rotation periods, and found a typical range between ~950 ppm (5th percentile) and ~22,700 ppm (95th percentile), with a median of ~5,600 ppm. We found typically higher amplitudes for shorter periods and lower effective temperatures, with an excess of low-amplitude stars above ~5400 K.

description: The recombination and spin dynamics of excitons in colloidal CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) are studied by time-resolved photoluminescence in high magnetic fields up to 15 T and at cryogenic temperatures. The recombination decay shows a nonexponential temporal behavior, with the longest component corresponding to the dark excitons having 260 ns decay time at zero magnetic field and 4.2 K temperature. This long component shortens to 150 ns at 15 T due to the magnetic-field-induced mixing of the bright and dark exciton states. The spin dynamics, assessed through the evolution of the magnetic-field-induced circular polarization degree of the photoluminescence, has a fast component shorter than 1 ns related to the bright excitons and a slow component of 5-10 ns associated with the dark excitons. The latter shortens with increasing magnetic field, which is characteristic for a phonon-assisted spin relaxation mechanism. The relatively low saturation level of the associated magnetic-field-induced circular polarization degree of -30 % is explained by a model that suggests the CdTe NCs to constitute an ensemble of prolate and oblate NCs, both having a structural quantization axis. The exciton g-factor of 2.4-2.9 evaluated from fitting the experimental data in the frame of the suggested approach is in good agreement with the expected value for the dark excitons in CdTe NCs.

description: Excerpt from Number I: This report gives the results of an investigation to determine more exactly the nature of the voluntary sample of employment conditions on farms of regular crop correspondents of the Agricultural Marketing Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. A basis for improving quantitative estimates of employment based on that voluntary sample was developed from this investigation. Analysis of the basic data, made possible by this study, uncovered a method for stratifying and weighting the sample which overcame many previous difficulties. The new method was thoroughly tested during the study, and the feasibility of using a voluntary sample in estimating employment was demonstrated. Excerpt from Number II: This report gives the results of an investigation to determine the validity of assumptions made in translating linear measurements of crop frontages on highways into estimates of corresponding crop acreages in the region traversed. Such a study must obviously be based upon a universe of known constitution so that various phases of the problem can be examined in detail. Agricultural data obtained from usual sources are not sufficiently extensive for an analysis of this kind but aerial survey photographs made available by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration provided a good source of experimental material for the purpose at hand. After the crops in the various individual fields shown on the photographs were identified by visits to the farm operators concerned and the highways traversing the region were traced on the photographs, an ideal universe for study was made available.

description: This demonstration deliverable concerns the integration of the Similarity Engine (as described in the deliverable D4.2) in the Generic Application Framework (GAF). The Similarity Engine implements a set of methods to measure the similarity between dance performances modelled using different data formats.

The Similarity Engine is a fundamental block for several applications developed within the project. For this reason, the consortium decided to adopt a client-server architecture and provide the Engine as an Internet service. We provided an extensive description of the Similarity Engine in Deliverable D4.2. Whereas, we provide an exhaustive description of the integration policy in order to build the Generic Application Framework in Deliverable D4.3. In section 0 of this document, we will give a brief overview of the integration of the Similarity Engine into the GAF such as described in D4.3.

We prove the effectiveness of the GAF and the application integration procedure on use cases involving real  performances. We will describe the performances in section 3.

The deceiving delta: on the equilibrium dependent dynamics of nonlinear magnetic islands

description: The linear stability parameter delta is commonly used as a figure of merit for the nonlinear dynamics of the tearing mode. It is shown, through state of the art numerical simulations, that factors other than delta can play a very important role in determining the evolution of nonlinear magnetic islands. In particular, two different equilibria are analysed and it is shown that, once perturbed, they have a qualitatively and quantitatively different response despite the fact that they are characterised by the same delta. The different behaviour can still be associated with linear properties of the equilibrium. It is also studied how the nonlinear and saturation phase are affected by an increasing delta in the two equilibria. As the instability drive is increased, the systems move from a dynamics characterised by a "universal" generalised Rutherford equation to a Y-point configuration and then to a plasmoid unstable Y-point. Finally, for even larger delta the second harmonic overcomes the fundamental,leading to an interesting double island structure.
