description: The cross section for the reaction 127I(neutrino,electron)127Xe_(bound states) has been measured for electron neutrinos from the decay of stopped muons to be [2.84 +/- 0.91 (stat) +/- 0.25 (syst)] x 10^(-40) cm^2. A tank containing 1540 kg of 127I in the form of NaI solution was placed 8.53 m from the LAMPF beamstop where it received a typical flux of 5 x 10^7 neutrinos/(cm^2 s). The 127Xe atoms produced by neutrino capture were extracted from the target solution, placed in miniature proportional counters, and their number was determined by counting. This is the first measurement of a neutrino capture cross section for an I nucleus and is in good agreement with a recent calculation.

description: We analyze the household savings problem in a general setting where returns on assets, non-financial income and impatience are all state dependent and fluctuate over time. All three processes can be serially correlated and mutually dependent. Rewards can be bounded or unbounded and wealth can be arbitrarily large. Extending classic results from an earlier literature, we determine conditions under which (a) solutions exist, are unique and are globally computable, (b) the resulting wealth dynamics are stationary, ergodic and geometrically mixing, and (c) the wealth distribution has a Pareto tail. We show how these results can be used to extend recent studies of the wealth distribution. Our conditions have natural economic interpretations in terms of asymptotic growth rates for discounting and return on savings.

Designing Better Scaffolding in Teaching Complex Systems with Graphical Simulations

description: Complex systems are an important topic in science education today, but they are usually difficult for secondary-level students to learn. Although graphic simulations have many advantages in teaching complex systems, scaffolding is a critical factor for effective learning. This dissertation study was conducted around two complementary research questions on scaffolding: (1) How can we chunk and sequence learning activities in teaching complex systems? (2) How can we help students make connections among system levels across learning activities (level bridging)? With a sample of 123 seventh-graders, this study employed a 3x2 experimental design that factored sequencing methods (independent variable 1; three levels) with level-bridging scaffolding (independent variable 2; two levels) and compared the effectiveness of each combination. The study measured two dependent variables: (1) knowledge integration (i.e., integrating and connecting content-specific normative concepts and providing coherent scientific explanations); (2) understanding of the deep causal structure (i.e., being able to grasp and transfer the causal knowledge of a complex system). The study used a computer-based simulation environment as the research platform to teach the ideal gas law as a system. The ideal gas law is an emergent chemical system that has three levels: (1) experiential macro level (EM)(e.g., an aerosol can explodes when it is thrown into the fire); (2) abstract macro level (AM) (i.e., the relationships among temperature, pressure and volume); (3) micro level (Mi) (i.e., molecular activity). The sequencing methods of these levels were manipulated by changing the order in which they were delivered with three possibilities: (1) EM-AM-Mi; (2) Mi-AM-EM; (3) AM-Mi-EM. The level-bridging scaffolding variable was manipulated on two aspects: (1) inserting inter-level questions among learning activities; (2) two simulations dynamically linked in the final learning activity. Addressing the first research question, the Experiential macro-Abstract macro-Micro (EM-AM-Mi) sequencing method, following the "concrete to abstract" principle, produced better knowledge integration while the Micro-Abstract macro-Experiential macro (Mi-AM-EM) sequencing method, congruent with the causal direction of the emergent system, produced better understanding of the deep causal structure only when level-bridging scaffolding was provided. The Abstract macro-Micro-Experiential macro (AM-Mi-EM) sequencing method produced worse performance in general, because it did not follow the "concrete to abstract" principle, nor did it align with the causal structure of the emergent system. As to the second research question, the results showed that level-bridging scaffolding was important for both knowledge integration and understanding of the causal structure in learning the ideal gas law system.

description: We provide conditions to guarantee the occurrence of Shilnikov bifurcations in analytic unfoldings of some Hopf-Zero singularities through a beyond all order phenomenon: the exponentially small breakdown of invariant manifolds which coincide at any order of the normal form procedure. The conditions are computable and satisfied by generic singularities and generic unfoldings. The existence of Shilnikov bifurcations in the $\mathcal{C}^r$ case was already argued by Guckenheimer in the $80$'s. About the same time, endowing the space of $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ unfoldings with a convenient topology, persistence and density of the Shilnikov phenomenon was proved by Broer and Vegter in 1984. However, since the proof involves the use of flat perturbations, this approach is not valid in the analytic context. What is more, none of the mentioned approaches provide a computable criteria to decide whether a given unfolding exhibits Shilnikov bifurcations or not. This work ends the whole discussion by showing that, under generic and checkable hypothesis, any analytic unfolding of a Hopf-Zero singularity within the appropriate class contains Shilnikov homoclinic orbits, and as a consequence chaotic dynamics.

Environmentalism

description: This dissertation focuses on a conservative, affluent, and white community—Santa Barbara, California to chart the rise a popular, aesthetic environmentalism in the twentieth-century United States. Acknowledged by environmentalists and historians as a principal site of the emergence of modern environmentalism after a 1969 offshore oil spill, the city’s reputation had long rested on the idea that the place epitomized California’s—and thus the nation’s—riches of natural beauty and climate. Beginning in the 1920s residents came together in a shared project of transforming the urban fabric under the belief that their city situated between the mountains and ocean could enjoy the benefits of modern, urban American life while avoiding its excesses and ills. Their work underscores how commitments and visions shared among individuals became a domesticated and inwardly-oriented and highly localized environmental politics that functioned as a lateral way to depoliticize ideas about the environment, urban life, and community belonging. Physical transformations structured conceptions of the environment over time, but also provided visible evidence for them. Exploring granular details including specificities about place and local attachments put into relief the possibilities, but also the shortcomings, of lived experience as a catalyst for environmental action.

description: The wave type field equation $\square \vt^a=\la \vt^a$, where $\vt^a$ is a coframe field on a space-time, was recently proposed to describe the gravity field. This equation has a unique static, spherical-symmetric, asymptotically-flat solution, which leads to the viable Yilmaz-Rosen metric. We show that the wave type field equation is satisfied by the pseudo-conformal frame if the conformal factor is determined by a scalar 3D-harmonic function. This function can be related to the Newtonian potential of classical gravity. So we obtain a direct relation between the non-relativistic gravity and the relativistic model: every classical exact solution leads to a solution of the field equation. With this result we obtain a wide class of exact, static metrics. We show that the theory of Yilmaz relates to the pseudo-conformal sector of our construction. We derive also a unique cosmological (time dependent) solution of the described type.

title: The influence of climate on past, present, and future conservation translocations
Creators: name: Bellis, J
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2021

description: A large proportion of conservation translocations fail to establish viable populations. Managers often attribute translocation failure to environmental conditions at recipient sites, however, no study has attempted to quantify the importance of environmental conditions, such as climate, in determining past translocation outcomes. In this thesis, I investigate the potential effects of recent and future climatic conditions on translocated populations of ectothermic vertebrate and invertebrate taxa across the globe. Using species distribution modelling techniques, I contrast predicted climate suitability between sites of successful and unsuccessful translocation programmes. I find that the probability of translocation success increases as predicted climate suitability increases. Furthermore, when contrasting the effect of climate suitability against five other variables often considered in the peer-reviewed literature as important to translocation outcome, climate suitability exerted the strongest effect and explained the most variation in translocation outcome. While these results highlight the potential of predicted climate suitability to inform translocation management, the rapidly changing climate means that matching species climatic preferences to existing conditions will be insufficient to secure the long-term viability of translocated populations. I demonstrate this by projecting species distribution models (SDMs) onto scenarios of future climate change for species that have been successfully established through translocation. SDMs project that at least 74% of recipient sites will decline in suitability in the future, and alarmingly, this percentage is based on an optimistic scenario of greenhouse-gas emissions for the near-future (2021-2040). The final data-chapter of this thesis applies the findings and methodologies of the preceding chapters to support conservation decision-making in an ongoing translocation programme in the North West of England, by using SDM outputs to facilitate the prioritisation of translocation efforts towards species with the greatest likelihood of establishing long-term populations under climate change. My findings call for greater integration of the spatiotemporal properties of climate into translocation management planning and suggest that SDMs offer an effective tool for achieving this.

description: We present a way to visualize and quantify renormalization group flows in a space of observables computed using Monte Carlo simulations. We apply the method to classical three-dimensional clock models, i.e., the planar (XY) spin model perturbed by a $Z_q$ symmetric anisotropy field. The method performs significantly better than standard techniques for determining the scaling dimension $y_q$ of the $Z_q$ field at the critical point if it is irrelevant ($q\ge4$). Furthermore, we analyze all stages of the complex renormalization flow, including the cross-over from the U(1) Nambu-Goldstone fixed point to the ultimate $Z_q$ symmetry-breaking fixed point due to the relevance of the $Z_q$ field inside the ordered phase. We expect our method to be particularly useful in the context of quantum-critical points with inherent dangerously irrelevant operators that cannot be tuned away microscopically but whose renormalization flows can be analyzed exactly as we do here for the clock models.

As an example, the representations of $SL(2,\Real)$ are recovered.

description: The energy dependence of hadron production in central Pb+Pb collisions is presented and discussed. In particular, midrapidity $m_T$-spectra for $π^-$, $K^-$, $K^+$, $p$, $\bar{p}$, $d$, $ϕ$, $Λ$ and $\barΛ$ at 40, 80 and 158 $A$GeV are shown. In addition $Ξ$ and $Ω$ spectra are available at 158 $A$GeV. The spectra allow to determine the thermal freeze-out temperature $T$ and the transverse flow velocity $β_T$ at the three energies. We do not observe a significant energy dependence of these parameters; furthermore there is no indication of early thermal freeze-out of $Ξ$ and $Ω$ at 158 $A$GeV. Rapidity spectra for $π^-$, $K^-$, $K^+$ and $ϕ$ at 40, 80 and 158 $A$GeV are shown, as well as first results on $Ω$ rapidity distributions at 158 $A$GeV. The chemical freeze-out parameters $T$ and $μ_B$ at the three energies are determined from the total yields. The parameters are close to the expected phase boundary in the SPS energy range and above. Using the total yields of kaons and lambdas, the energy dependence of the strangeness to pion ratio is discussed. A maximum in this ratio is found at 40 $A$GeV. This maximum could indicate the formation of deconfined matter at energies above 40 $A$GeV. A search for open charm in a large sample of 158 $A$GeV events is presented. No signal is observed. This result is compared to several model predictions.

description: The recently rigorously proved nonperturbative relation between u and the prepotential, underlying N=2 SYM with gauge group SU(2), implies both the reflection symmetry $\overline{u(τ)}=u(-\barτ)$ and $u(τ+1)=-u(τ)$ which hold exactly. The relation also implies that $τ$ is the inverse of the uniformizing coordinate u of the moduli space of quantum vacua. In this context, the above quantum symmetries are the key points to determine the structure of the moduli space. It turns out that the functions a(u) and a_D(u), which we derive from first principles, actually coincide with the solution proposed by Seiberg and Witten. We also consider some relevant generalizations.

description: The study researches the best biogasproduction from cow dung, scrutinizing links ofYield with the factors concerned. Through a series ofconducted experiments under total control, we foundout how factors such as temperature, pH level,carbon-nitrogen ratio, and type of pretreatmentmethods influence the biogas efficiency. Ultimately,the research results illustrate a definite improvementin methane production that accelerates thedevelopment of dung as a resource for generatingrenewable energy. Despite the favorable conclusions,the study lists the limitations of its experimentalmodules and the research problems on the effects ofpretreatment methods in the future. Practically, ourresearch has made inroads in sustainable agriculture,waste management, and rural development; thisindicates that the contribution of optimized biogasproduction to energy security and environmentalsustainability is critical. Potential avenues for futureresearch would expand biogas production to a largescale, integrating the systems of cow dung biogaswith other renewable energy sources and discoveringthe advantages of biogas generation to communitiesin the countryside.

description: Auditory frisson is the experience of feeling of cold or shivering related to sound in the absence of a physical cold stimulus. Multiple examples of frisson-inducing sounds have been reported, but the mechanism of auditory frisson remains elusive. Typical frisson-inducing sounds may contain a looming effect, in which a sound appears to approach the listener's peripersonal space. Previous studies on sound in peripersonal space have provided objective measurements of sound-inducing effects, but few have investigated the subjective experience of frisson-inducing sounds. Here we explored whether it is possible to produce subjective feelings of frisson by moving a noise sound (white noise, rolling beads noise, or frictional noise produced by rubbing a plastic bag) stimulus around a listener's head. Our results demonstrated that sound-induced frisson can be experienced stronger when auditory stimuli are rotated around the head (binaural moving sounds) than the one without the rotation (monaural static sounds), regardless of the source of the noise sound. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that several acoustic features of auditory stimuli, such as variance of interaural level difference (ILD), loudness, and sharpness, were correlated with the magnitude of subjective frisson. We had also observed that the subjective feelings of frisson by moving a musical sound had increased comparing with a static musical sound.

description: We provide a theory of the electronic transport properties of a graphene layer functionalized with molecular switches. Our considerations are motivated by the spiropyran?merocyanine system which is non-polar in its ring-closed spiropyran form and zwitterionic in its ring-open merocyanine form. The reversible switching between these two isomers affects the carriers in graphene through the associated change in the molecular dipole moment, turning the graphene layer into a sensor of the molecular switching state. We present results for both the quasiclassical (Boltzmann) and the quantum coherent regimes of transport. Quite generally, we find a linear sensitivity of the conductance on the molecular dipole moment whenever quantum interference effects play an essential role which contrasts with a quadratic (and typically weaker) dependence when quantum interference is absent.

description: Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) are a formal grammar system, where the most notable feature is a set of rewriting rules that are used to replace every symbol in a string in parallel; by repeating this process, a sequence of strings is produced. Some symbols in the strings may be interpreted as instructions for simulation software. Thus, the sequence can be used to model the steps of a process. Currently, creating an L-system for a specific process is done by hand by experts through much effort. The inductive inference problem attempts to infer an L-system from such a sequence of strings generated by an unknown system; this can be thought of as an intermediate step to inferring from a sequence of images. This paper evaluates and analyzes different genetic algorithm encoding schemes and mathematical properties for the L-system inductive inference problem. A new tool, the Plant Model Inference Tool for Context-Free L-systems (PMIT-D0L) is implemented based on these techniques. PMIT-D0L has been successfully evaluated on 28 known L-systems, with alphabets up to 31 symbols and a total sum of 281 symbols across the rewriting rules. PMIT-D0L can infer even the largest of these L-systems in less than a few seconds.

description: DJOURABUS GEN. NOV.   Type species: Djourabus dabba sp. nov.
 Etymology: After Djourab, a Saharan erg located in the Chadian depression, in reference to the location of the fossiliferous arera of Toros-Menalla.
 Diagnosis: Genus distinguished by its large size; tall and thick mandibular corpus; m1 bunodont, short, and very broad with a trigonid broader than the talonid, transversely orientated paraconid shelf, bases of the metaconid and paraconid connate, short; m1 talonid molarized and short, with squared off distal margin and individualized and low entoconid and hypoconid, and cingulid very reduced and restricted to the mesial margin of the paraconid.
 Differential diagnosis: Most of these characters distinguish Djourabus from all of the extant species, and within bunodont fossil otters, from the species of Sivaonyx and Paludolutra. Djourabus differs from Enhydritherium in its larger size, taller mandible, an m1 that is relatively broader with a transversely orientated paraconid, trigonid broader than the talonid, metaconid smaller than the protoconid, and reduced labial cingulid. Djourabus differs from Enhydriodon in its much broader m1 with more bunodont cuspids, enlarged and more transversely orientated paraconid, metaconid that is closer to the protoconid than to the paraconid and talonid that is shallower with a squared off distal margin.

description: Breaking down botnets have always been a big challenge. The robustness of C&C channels is increased, and the detection of botmaster is harder in P2P botnets. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic method to reconstruct the topologies of the C&C channel for P2P botnets. Due to the geographic dispersion of P2P botnet members, it is not possible to supervise all members, and there does not exist all necessary data for applying other graph reconstruction methods. So far, no general method has been introduced to reconstruct C&C channel topology for all type of P2P botnet. In our method, the probability of connections between bots is estimated by using the inaccurate receiving times of several cascades, network model parameters of C&C channel, and end-to-end delay distribution of the Internet. The receiving times can be collected by observing the external reaction of bots to commands. The results of our simulations show that more than 90% of the edges in a 1000-member network with node degree mean 50, have been accurately estimated by collecting the inaccurate receiving times of 22 cascades. In case the receiving times of just half of the bots are collected, this accuracy of estimation is obtained by using 95 cascades.

description: Reconstruction of images corrupted by noise is an important problem in Image Analysis. In the standard Bayesian approach the unknown original image is assumed to be a realization of a Markov random field on a finite two dimensional finite region. This image is degraded by some noise, which acts independently in each site of and has the same distribution on all sites. The reconstructed image is the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator. When the number of colors is bigger than two the standard a priori measure is the Potts model, but with this choice reconstruction algorithms need exponential growing time in the number of pixels. We propose a different a priori measure that allows to compute the MAP estimator in polinomial time. The algorithm binary decomposes the intensity of each color and reconstructs each component, reducing the problem to the computation of the two-color MAP estimator. The latter is done in polinomial time solving a min-cut max-flow problem in a binary graph as proposed by Greig, Porteous and Seheult (1989).

description: As photodisintegration of deuterons mimics the disintegration of deuterons by neutrinos, the accurate measurement of the radioactivity from thorium and uranium decay chains in the heavy water in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is essential for the determination of the total solar neutrino flux. A radium assay technique of the required sensitivity is described that uses hydrous titanium oxide adsorbent on a filtration membrane together with a beta-alpha delayed coincidence counting system. For a 200 tonne assay the detection limit for 232Th is a concentration of 3 x 10^(-16) g Th/g water and for 238U of 3 x 10^(-16) g U/g water. Results of assays of both the heavy and light water carried out during the first two years of data collection of SNO are presented.

description: Quantum Dots (QD) have become a commercial reality for tunable displays and light-emitting diodes. The Department of Energy believes further improvements in efficacy and stability will allow for widespread adoption of solid-state lighting in the United States. QD geometric and compositional architecture, crystal phase and surface chemistry are arguably some of the important aspects governing QD performance in these applications. Chapter I outlines the efforts of QD design, encapsulation and performance for phosphor converted, “on-chip” LEDs. Cadmium chalcogenide QDs with a quantum well geometry and ZnS encapsulation (CdS/CdSxSe1-x/CdS/ZnS) resist photoluminescence bleaching on chip under harsh accelerated ageing tests. Trends in device performance are linked primarily to success of ZnS passivation. Chapter II presents findings regarding crystal structure control (Zinc Blende vs Wurtzite) for CdX (X = S, Se) systems by focusing on crystal phase conversion. The ZB to W transition for CdX is shown to be size, material and surfactant dependent. Chapter III focuses on expanding the precursor compound library for CdSe with aryl substituted cyclic selenones (imidazole and pyrimidine-based compounds). These molecules are shown to react sluggishly at ZB synthetic conditions and that the rate is heavily influenced by compound sterics. Chapter IV presents the findings of a metal carboxylate displacement study on PbS NCs with various L-type ligands. Upon displacement and purification with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylene-1,2-diamine, tri-n-butylamine, and n-octylamine, oriented attachment occurs along the 100 plane and with bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane and tri-n-butylphosphine, attachment is suppressed. This difference allows for the study of ligand density dependent optical properties without the confounding attachment of nanocrystals in solution. A decreasing trend of time resolved photoluminescence lifetime values as a function of ligand density is observed.

description: Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle claims that if there is correlation between two events and none of them is directly causally influenced by the other, then there must exist a third event that can, as a common cause, account for the correlation. The EPR-Bell paradox consists in the problem that we observe correlations between spatially separated events in the EPR-experiments, which do not admit common-cause-type explanation; and it must therefore be inevitably concluded, that, contrary to relativity theory, in the realm of quantum physics there exists action at a distance, or at least superluminal causal propagation is possible; that is, either relativity theory or Reichenbach's common cause principle fails. By means of closer analyses of the concept of common cause and a more precise reformulation of the EPR experimental scenario, I will sharpen the conclusion we can draw from the violation of Bell's inequalities. It will be explicitly shown that the correla-tions we encounter in the EPR experiment could have common causes; that is, Reichen-bach's Common Cause Principle does not fail in quantum mechanics. Moreover, these common causes satisfy the locality conditions usually required. In the Revised Version of the paper I added a Postscript from which it turns out that the solution such obtained is, contrary to the original title, incomplete. It turns out that a new problem arises: some combinations of the common cause events do statistically cor-relate with the measurement operations.

description: We consider the Wilson loop expectation in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the presence of constraints. The constraints eliminate from the functional measure gauge field configurations whose physical interpretation is that of thick center vortices linking with the loop. We give a simple proof that, for dimension $d \geq 3$, the so constrained Wilson loop follows perimeter law, i.e. non-confining behavior, at weak coupling (low temperature). Thus the presence of vortex configurations is a necessary condition for confinement.

description: An analytic expression is derived for the leading finite-volume effects arising in lattice QCD calculations of the hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution to the muon's magnetic moment, $a_μ^{\text{HVP,LO}} \equiv (g-2)_μ^{\text{HVP,LO}}/2$. For calculations in a finite spatial volume with periodicity $L$, $a_μ^{\text{HVP,LO}}(L)$ admits a transseries expansion with exponentially suppressed $L$ scaling. Using a Hamiltonian approach, we show that the leading finite-volume correction scales as $\exp[- M_πL]$ with a prefactor given by the (infinite-volume) Compton amplitude of the pion, integrated with the muon-mass-dependent kernel. To give a complete quantitative expression, we decompose the Compton amplitude into the space-like pion form factor, $F_π(Q^2)$, and a multi-particle piece. We determine the latter through NLO in chiral perturbation theory and find that it contributes negligibly and through a universal term that depends only on the pion decay constant, with all additional low-energy constants dropping out of the integral.

description: $C_λ$-extended oscillator algebras generalizing the Calogero-Vasiliev algebra, where $C_λ$ is the cyclic group of order $λ$, are studied both from mathematical and applied viewpoints. Casimir operators of the algebras are obtained, and used to provide a complete classification of their unitary irreducible representations under the assumption that the number operator spectrum is nondegenerate. Deformed algebras admitting Casimir operators analogous to those of their undeformed counterparts are looked for, yielding three new algebraic structures. One of them includes the Brzeziński {\em et al.} deformation of the Calogero-Vasiliev algebra as a special case. In its bosonic Fock-space representation, the realization of $C_λ$-extended oscillator algebras as generalized deformed oscillator ones is shown to provide a bosonization of several variants of supersymmetric quantum mechanics: parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics of order $p = λ-1$ for any $λ$, as well as pseudosupersymmetric and orthosupersymmetric quantum mechanics of order two for $λ=3$.

description: Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a rising global health concern that requires long-term treatment and close monitoring. As a behaviour-directed intervention, telemonitoring has shown promising results in facilitating patient-physician interaction and improving treatment adherence among patients with chronic disease. However, there is lack of evidence about its use in T2DM. This thesis aims to address this gap by analysing the impact of treatment adherence, which is a key self-care behaviour in patients with a chronic illness, on glycaemic control and the overall effectiveness of telemonitoring in T2DM management.
