description: We study the encryption and decryption processes of color images using the synchronization of polarization dynamics in a free-running vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). Here, we consider a bidirectional master-slave configuration or two-way coupling with two VCSELs. The latter are shown to exhibit hyperchaos and synchronization with a high level of similarity between their emission characteristics. The coupled VCSELs are then used as a transmitter and a receiver for the communication of image or data. Furthermore, we propose a modified chaos-based image encryption algorithm using the pixel- and bit-level permutations which provides robust, faster and simpler encryption/decryption compared to many other chaos-based cryptosystems. The performances of the new cryptosystem are analyzed and compared with a recently developed scheme [Opt. Las. Eng. 90 (2017) 238-246]. The security analysis and some statistical investigations show that the proposed cryptosystem is resistant to various types of attacks and is efficient for secure communications in nonlinear optical media.

description: The aim of this research study explores whether teachers can make practical and effective use of comics as a resource to aid students’ learning. The report details the development of an action research project that adopted a mixed methods approach to produce a set of findings alongside a subsequent evaluation that has the potential to contribute to wider professional practice. The study acknowledges limits around generalisability but suggests what would be required for transferability to other school contexts.A literature review, in conjunction with interviews, contributed to a series of lessons that used comics as a device to teach specific literacy skills to students aged between seven to eleven. Data were collected using observation and scrutiny of students’ work.Findings indicated that, when used effectively, comics have the capacity to improve engagement amongst students who can lack motivation to learn. This may be due to dual-coding representation on the comic page, the use of bright colours and the emphasis on narratives involving action or humour.In addition, the report details how participants incorporated the use of comics within existing teaching strategies. Reading with expression, performance using playscripts, the accurate use of speech marks and the quality of written description were some of the literacy skills that appeared to be taught effectively to students. The research study is not intended to provide an exhaustive list but, instead, explore how skills can be taught using this medium.However, the study also explores the absence of teachers’ own personal knowledge and professional experience of this medium. Professional learning was a prerequisite at various stages of the action research cycle to support the planning and delivery of lessons. This included advice in the selection of comics to avoid inappropriate themes of sexual imagery or violence. Teachers were also guided to choose accessible comics without complicated narratives. Furthermore, the pilot project was also an integral phase that provided teachers further support and practical ideas. However, the report also acknowledges that comics will only impact on the acquisition of literacy skills when integrated within effective pedagogical practice.
Supplementary methods and results from Long-term environmental stability does not erode plasticity in nest building responses to changing ambient conditions

description: The primary function of animal nests is to protect developing offspring from hostile and fluctuating environments. Animal builders have been shown to adjust nest construction in response to changes in their environment. However, the extent of this plasticity, and its dependence on an evolutionary history of environmental variability, is not well understood. To test whether an evolutionary history with flowing water impacts male ability to adjust nests in response to flow regime, we collected three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from three lakes and three rivers, and brought them into reproductive condition in controlled laboratory aquaria. Males were then allowed to nest under both flowing and static conditions. Nest building behaviour, nest structure and nest composition were all recorded. In comparison to males building nests under static conditions, males building in flowing water took longer to construct their nests and invested more in nesting behaviour. Moreover, nests built in flowing water contained less material, were smaller, more compact, neater and more elongated than nests built under static conditions. Whether males came from rivers or lakes had little impact on nesting activities, or male capacity to adjust behaviours in response to flow treatment. Our findings suggest that aquatic animals which have experienced a stable environment over a long period of time retain plasticity in nest-building behaviours that allow them to adjust nests to ambient flow conditions. This ability may prove crucial in coping with the increasingly unpredictable flow regimes found in anthropogenically altered waterways and those resulting from global climate change.This article is part of the theme issue ‘The evolutionary ecology of nests: a cross-taxon approach’.

description: The generalized Gauss circle problem concerns the lattice point discrepancy of large spheres. We study the Dirichlet series associated to $P_k(n)^2$, where $P_k(n)$ is the discrepancy between the volume of the $k$-dimensional sphere of radius $\sqrt{n}$ and the number of integer lattice points contained in that sphere. We prove asymptotics with improved power-saving error terms for smoothed sums, including $\sum P_k(n)^2 e^{-n/X}$ and the Laplace transform $\int_0^\infty P_k(t)^2 e^{-t/X}dt$, in dimensions $k \geq 3$. We also obtain main terms and power-saving error terms for the sharp sums $\sum_{n \leq X} P_k(n)^2$, along with similar results for the sharp integral $\int_0^X P_3(t)^2 dt$. This includes producing the first power-saving error term in mean square for the dimension-three Gauss circle problem.

description: The excavation of an early to mid-first century AD settlement at Cadeby Quarry, Cadeby revealed evidence for two sub-rectangular timber structures, along with structured deposition and pottery production. The results have added new information on Iron Age rural settlement patterns, including the use of rectangular structures in the transitional period between the Late Iron Age and early Roman periods. The structures discovered at Cadeby are a rare discovery in this region of Britain, and they may have served a range of functions including living areas and grain storage. The settlement appears to have lasted up until AD 60/70. Other activity in the area includes the structured deposition of querns and pottery vessels and mid-1st century pottery production.

description: In this paper, we consider the localization of a five-dimensional gravitino field on $f(R)$-thick branes. We obtain the coupled chiral equations of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes of gravitinos with the gauge condition $Ψ_z=0$. The chiral equations of a gravitino's KK modes are found to be almost identical to those of the Dirac fermion. However, their chiralities are exactly opposite. The chiral KK modes of gravitinos could be localized in some types of $f(R)$-thick branes on introducing a coupling term. We investigate the localization of a gravitino on three types of $f(R)$-thick branes through a Yukawa-like coupling term with background scalar fields. It has been shown that all the KK modes of gravitinos cannot be localized in the pure geometric $f(R)$-thick branes by adding a five-dimensional gravitino mass term. However, for the $f(R)$-thick branes generated by one or two background scalar fields, only the left- or right-handed zero mode could be localized in the branes, and the massive KK resonant modes are the same for both left- and right-handed gravitinos despite their opposing chiralities. All these results are consistent with those of the five-dimensional Dirac fermion except their chiralities, which may be an important sign to distinguish the gravitino field and the Dirac fermion field.

description: Shortly before his resignation as Master of St Margaret's Boys School, Leicester, a disillusioned Harry Poyner wrote, 'I am heartily tired of such a field of labour as this with nothing but discouragement.' Poyner's entries in the School Log Book, written in an abbreviated and impatient Victorian hand, reveal the increasing frustrations of a man of considerable learning and experience having to teach 'such poor, dull, stupid beings as most of the boys here.' It was not merely the pupils that attracted Poyner's cynical and forthright comments: their parents; the school manager; the 'oracle over the road' - Elizabeth Chalk, Mistress of St Margaret's Girls School; the visiting H.M.l.s and the Committee of Council itself, each in turn infuriated this gifted, energetic and impatient Victorian schoolmaster.

External Prior Guided Internal Prior Learning for Real-World Noisy Image Denoising

description: Most of existing image denoising methods learn image priors from either external data or the noisy image itself to remove noise. However, priors learned from external data may not be adaptive to the image to be denoised, while priors learned from the given noisy image may not be accurate due to the interference of corrupted noise. Meanwhile, the noise in real-world noisy images is very complex, which is hard to be described by simple distributions such as Gaussian distribution, making real-world noisy image denoising a very challenging problem. We propose to exploit the information in both external data and the given noisy image, and develop an external prior guided internal prior learning method for real-world noisy image denoising. We first learn external priors from an independent set of clean natural images. With the aid of learned external priors, we then learn internal priors from the given noisy image to refine the prior model. The external and internal priors are formulated as a set of orthogonal dictionaries to efficiently reconstruct the desired image. Extensive experiments are performed on several real-world noisy image datasets. The proposed method demonstrates highly competitive denoising performance, outperforming state-of-the-art denoising methods including those designed for real-world noisy images.

description: Let $K$ be a non-empty set of ideals of the commutative ring $R$, closed under taking smaller ideals. A subset $X$ of the group ring $R[\mathbb{Z}^s]$ is called a $K$-set if the ideal generated by the coefficients of the elements of $X$ is in $K$. For $X$ not a $K$-set we investigate the set of those homomorphisms $p \colon \mathbb{Z}^s \to \mathbb{Z}^t$ such that $p_*(X)$ is a $K$-set. We also consider corresponding notions of rank of matrices and Betti numbers of chain complexes; this includes an analysis of the case of McCoy rank. Our setup also recovers results on jump loci obtained by Kohno and Pajitnov as a special case.

description: We introduce the notion of $n$-dimensional topological quantum field theory (TQFT) with defects as a symmetric monoidal functor on decorated stratified bordisms of dimension $n$. The familiar closed or open-closed TQFTs are special cases of defect TQFTs, and for $n=2$ and $n=3$ our general definition recovers what had previously been studied in the literature. Our main construction is that of "generalised orbifolds" for any $n$-dimensional defect TQFT: Given a defect TQFT $\mathcal{Z}$, one obtains a new TQFT $\mathcal{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}$ by decorating the Poincaré duals of triangulated bordisms with certain algebraic data $\mathcal{A}$ and then evaluating with $\mathcal{Z}$. The orbifold datum $\mathcal{A}$ is constrained by demanding invariance under $n$-dimensional Pachner moves. This procedure generalises both state sum models and gauging of finite symmetry groups, for any $n$. After developing the general theory, we focus on the case $n=3$.

Late Victorian Pauperism and the Poor Law in Leicester

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 60, 47-62
description: Poverty and pauperism are issues which have produced a large and sustained literature from the classic study of Booth1 to the detailed contemporary review of Townsend. A common feature of poverty is its persistence, in one form or another, from generation to generation which has provoked a number of radical critics such as Harvey and Peet4 to argue that a discussion of historical processes and antecedents is vital to the recognition of its dynamic characteristics. In other words, it is only after a consideration of Victorian poverty that we can begin to understand the nature of the poverty associated with industrial capitalism and its perpetuation from one generation to another.

description: The purpose of this article is to study the asymptotic expansion of Ray-Singer analytic tosion associated with increasing powers p of a given positive line bundle. Here we prove that the asymptotic expansion associated to a manifold contains only the terms of the form $p^{n-i} \log p, p^{n-i}$ for $i$-natural. For the two leading terms it was proved by Bismut and Vasserot in 1989. We will calculate the coefficients of the terms $p^{n-1} \log p, p^{n-1}$ in the Kahler case and thus answer the question posed in the recent work of Klevtsov, Ma, Marinescu and Wiegmann about quantuum Hall effect. Our second result concerns the general asymptotic expansion of Ray-Singer analytic torsion for an orbifold.

description: New Walk has come full circle; attitudes concerning the desirability of an urban walkway are as strong now as they were in the late eighteenth century. In between there was a longish period (1930-1960) when physical decay coupled with public and official apathy threatened its continued existence. The possibility of New Walk having a future as a non-residential street was indicated by the growing number of commercial concerns locating along it in the post-war years. This, coupled with a realization of its historical uniqueness, provided the necessary stimulus for its regeneration using a conservation approach.

description: We present an efficient algorithm to compute Euler characteristic curves of gray scale images of arbitrary dimension. In various applications the Euler characteristic curve is used as a descriptor of an image. Our algorithm is the first streaming algorithm for Euler characteristic curves. The usage of streaming removes the necessity to store the entire image in RAM. Experiments show that our implementation handles terabyte scale images on commodity hardware. Due to lock-free parallelism, it scales well with the number of processor cores. Our software---CHUNKYEuler---is available as open source on Bitbucket. Additionally, we put the concept of the Euler characteristic curve in the wider context of computational topology. In particular, we explain the connection with persistence diagrams.
The Bangladesh Liberation Movement : its international legal implications

description: The study begins with a brief survey of the historical background and some of the remarkable events of the East Pakistan crisis out of which Bangladesh was born.  Similar to the problem of national unity associated with other multi-racial states, the political history of Pakistan ever since its independence centered  around the attempt to  solve the dilemma of national unity and of equitable regional participation in the national power structure.  Certain plural states have been able to preserve their national solidarity by defusing the separatist sentiment of dissident  groups. But Pakistan attempted in vain.

description: Economic surveys of the monasteries on the eve of the Dissolution have attracted many historians since Professor Savine's pioneering study of the principal sources in 1909. There have followed editions of the accounts of major houses, and many regional studies. Satisfactory answers to economic as to other questions require, as Professor Knowles reminds us, "the data of a whole series of studies covering particular houses and orders and periods of time". This survey looks at the situation amongst the religious houses in Leicestershire and if it does not alter any general conclusion already reached by others it may claim, at least, further to illustrate some aspects of the general picture.

description: Ultra-reliable Point-to-Multipoint (PtM) communications are expected to become pivotal in networks offering future dependable services for smart cities. In this regard, sparse Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) techniques have been widely employed to provide an efficient way to improve the reliability of broadcast and multicast data streams. This paper addresses the pressing concern of providing a tight approximation to the probability of a user recovering a data stream protected by this kind of coding technique. In particular, by exploiting the Stein--Chen method, we provide a novel and general performance framework applicable to any combination of system and service parameters, such as finite field sizes, lengths of the data stream and level of sparsity. The deviation of the proposed approximation from Monte Carlo simulations is negligible, improving significantly on the state of the art performance bounds.

Signatures of quiet Sun reconnection events in Ca~{\sc ii}, H$α$ and Fe~{\sc i}

description: We use observations of quiet Sun (QS) regions in the H$α$ 6563 Å, Ca~{\sc ii} 8542 Å\, and Fe~{\sc i} 6302 Å lines. We observe brightenings in the wings of the H$α$ and Ca~{\sc ii} combined with observations of the interacting magnetic concentrations observed in the Stokes signals of Fe~{\sc i}. These brightenings are similar to Ellerman bombs (EBs), i.e. impulsive bursts in the wings of the Balmer lines which leave the line cores unaffected. Such enhancements suggest that these events have similar formation mechanisms to the classical EBs found in active regions, with the reduced intensity enhancements found in the QS regions due to a weaker feeding magnetic flux. The observations also show that the quiet Sun Ellerman bombs (QSEBs) are formed at a higher height in the upper photosphere than the photospheric continuum level. Using simulations, we investigate the formation mechanism associated with the events and suggest that these events are driven by the interaction of magnetic field-lines in the upper photospheric regions. The results of the simulation are in agreement with observations when comparing the light-curves, and in most cases we found that the peak in the Ca~{\sc ii} 8542 Å wing occurred before the peak in H$α$ wing. Moreover, in some cases, the line profiles observed in Ca~{\sc ii} are asymmetrical with a raised core profile. The source of heating in these events is shown by the MURaM simulations and is suggested to occur 430 km above the photosphere.

Automated approaches for band gap mapping in STEM-EELS

description: Band gap variations in thin film structures, across grain boundaries, and in embedded nanoparticles are of increasing interest in the materials science community. As many common experimental techniques for measuring band gaps do not have the spatial resolution needed to observe these variations directly, probe-corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) with monochromated Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) is a promising method for studying band gaps of such features. However, extraction of band gaps from EELS data sets usually requires heavy user involvement, and makes the analysis of large data sets challenging. Here we develop and present methods for automated extraction of band gap maps from large STEM-EELS data sets with high spatial resolution while preserving high accuracy and precision.
title: Assessing the resilience of Brazil’s iconic Araucaria Forests to past and future climate change
Creators: name: Wilson, Oliver

description: Southern Brazil’s Araucaria Forests are unique, iconic, and vanishing. Part of a globally important biodiversity hotspot, they are threatened by 20th -Century deforestation and 21st -Century anthropogenic climate changes. Natural climate variability and Indigenous people also affected Araucaria Forests over many millennia, but considerable uncertainty remains over the type and scale of their impacts. Interweaving ecological models and data on past, present and future human, climate and vegetation dynamics, this thesis seeks to better understand the roles of climatic and non-climatic factors – including topography, human land use, and fire – in shaping Araucaria Forests over the last 21,000 years and into the late 21st Century. Results show that 21st -Century anthropogenic climate change will likely bring greater disruption to Araucaria Forests than the last 21 millennia of natural variability. Key species will experience major range contractions and novel warm-adapted forests will replace long-established floristic associations, echoing and exceeding changes from the Holocene onset 12,000 years ago. Araucaria populations will likely find shelter in small-scale microrefugia, but more than a third of these have already lost their natural vegetation cover and few remnants are well protected. But results also show that climate only partially controls Araucaria Forest dynamics. 21,000 years ago, low atmospheric CO2 concentrations helped grasslands dominate woody vegetation, a dynamic which continued until recent millennia. Araucaria Forests then flourished late in the Holocene, as climate changes tipped landscapes over fire-suppression thresholds, triggering runaway forest expansion. Although subtle human impacts can be difficult to see in fossil pollen data, pre-colonial Indigenous communities did significantly shape Araucaria Forest structure and composition with fire, crop cultivation, and enriched Araucaria populations. This understanding of how past climatic and non-climatic factors combined to shape contemporary Araucaria Forests provides vital information for their future – from non-linear responses to climate shifts to conservation strategies and pathways for sustainable resource use.

Dynamical simplices and Fraïssé theory

description: We simplify a criterion (due to Ibarlucía and the author) which characterizes dynamical simplices, that is, sets $K$ of probability measures on a Cantor space $X$ for which there exists a minimal homeomorphism of $X$ whose set of invariant measures coincides with $K$. We then point out that this criterion is related to Fraïssé theory, and use that connection to provide a new proof of Downarowicz' theorem stating that any Choquet simplex is affinely homeomorphic to a dynamical simplex. The construction enables us to prove that there exist minimal homeomorphisms of a Cantor space which are speedup equivalent but not orbit equivalent, answering a question of D. Ash.
