description: Two-dimensional photonic crystal membranes provide a versatile planar architecture for integrated photonics to control the propagation of light on a chip employing high quality optical cavities, waveguides, beamsplitters or dispersive elements. When combined with highly non-linear quantum emitters, quantum photonic networks operating at the single photon level come within reach. Towards large-scale quantum photonic networks, selective dynamic control of individual components and deterministic interactions between different constituents are of paramount importance. This indeed calls for switching speeds ultimately on the system's native timescales. For example, manipulation via electric fields or all-optical means have been employed for switching in nanophotonic circuits and cavity quantum electrodynamics studies. Here, we demonstrate dynamic control of the coherent interaction between two coupled photonic crystal nanocavities forming a photonic molecule. By using an electrically generated radio frequency surface acoustic wave we achieve optomechanical tuning, demonstrate operating speeds more than three orders of magnitude faster than resonant mechanical approaches. Moreover, the tuning range is large enough to compensate for the inherent fabrication-related cavity mode detuning. Our findings open a route towards nanomechanically gated protocols, which hitherto have inhibited the realization in all-optical schemes.

An investigation into the real-time manipulation and control of three-dimensional sound fields

description: This thesis describes a system that can be used for the decoding of a three dimensional audio recording over headphones or two, or more, speakers. A literature review of psychoacoustics and a review (both historical and current) of surround sound systems is carried out. The need for a system which is platform independent is discussed, and the proposal for a system based on an amalgamation of Ambisonics, binaural and transaural reproduction schemes is given. In order for this system to function optimally, each of the three systems rely on providing the listener with the relevant psychoacoustic cues. The conversion from a five speaker ITU array to binaural decode is well documented but pair-wise panning algorithms will not produce the correct lateralisation parameters at the ears of a centrally seated listener. Although Ambisonics has been well researched, no one has, as yet, produced a psychoacoustically optimised decoder for the standard irregular five speaker array as specified by the ITU as the original theory, as proposed by Gerzon and Barton (1992) was produced (known as a Vienna decoder), and example solutions given, before the standard had been decided on. In this work, the original work by Gerzon and Barton (1992) is analysed, and shown to be suboptimal, showing a high/low frequency decoder mismatch due to the method of solving the set of non-linear simultaneous equations. A method, based on the Tabu search algorithm, is applied to the Vienna decoder problem and is shown to provide superior results to those shown by Gerzon and Barton (1992) and is capable of producing multiple solutions to the Vienna decoder problem. During the write up of this report Craven (2003) has shown how 4th order circular harmonics (as used in Ambisonics) can be used to create a frequency independent panning law for the five speaker ITU array, and this report also shows how the Tabu search algorithm can be used to optimise these decoders further. A new method is then demonstrated using the Tabu search algorithm coupled with lateralisation parameters extracted from a binaural simulation of the Ambisonic system to be optimised (as these are the parameters that the Vienna system is approximating). This method can then be altered to take into account head rotations directly which have been shown as an important psychoacoustic parameter in the localisation of a sound source (Spikofski et al., 2001) and is also shown to be useful in differentiating between decoders optimised using the Tabu search form of the Vienna optimisations as no objective measure had been suggested. Optimisations for both Binaural and Transaural reproductions are then discussed so as to maximise the performance of generic HRTF data (i.e. not individualised) using inverse filtering methods, and a technique is shown that minimises the amount of frequency dependant regularisation needed when calculating cross-talk cancellation filters.

description: We present the complete set of ultra-violet, optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy for SN 2012ca, covering the period from 6~days prior to maximum light, until 531 days after maximum. The spectroscopic time series for SN 2012ca is essentially unchanged over 1.5 years, and appear to be dominated at all epochs by signatures of interaction with a dense circumstellar medium rather than the underlying supernova (SN). At late phases, we see a near infrared excess in flux which is possibly associated with dust formation, although without any signs of accompanying line shifts. SN 2012ca is a member of the set of type of the ambiguous IIn/Ia-CSM SNe, the nature of which have been debated extensively in the literature. The two leading scenarios are either a type Ia SN exploding within a dense CSM from a non-degenerate, evolved companion, or a core-collapse SN from a massive star. While some members of the population have been unequivocally associated with type Ia SNe, in other cases the association is less certain. While it is possible that SN 2012ca does arise from a thermonuclear SN, this would require a relatively high (between 20 and 70 per cent) efficiency in converting kinetic energy to optical luminosity, and a massive (~2.3-2.6 Msun) circumstellar medium. On the basis of energetics, and the results of simple modelling, we suggest that SN 2012ca is more likely associated with a core-collapse SN. This would imply that the observed set of similar SNe to SN 2012ca is in fact originated by two populations, and while these are drawn from physically distinct channels, they can have observationally similar properties.

Probing high-redshift galaxies with Ly$α$ intensity mapping

description: We present a study of the cosmological Ly$α$ emission signal at $z > 4$. Our goal is to predict the power spectrum of the spatial fluctuations that could be observed by an intensity mapping survey. The model uses the latest data from the HST legacy fields and the abundance matching technique to associate UV emission and dust properties with the halos, computing the emission from the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM), including the effects of reionization, self-consistently. The Ly$α$ intensity from the diffuse IGM emission is 1.3 (2.0) times more intense than the ISM emission at $z = 4(7)$; both components are fair tracers of the star-forming galaxy distribution. However the power spectrum is dominated by ISM emission on small scales ($k > 0.01 h{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$) with shot noise being significant only above $k = 1 h{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. At very lange scales ($k < 0.01h{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$) diffuse IGM emission becomes important. The comoving Ly$α$ luminosity density from IGM and galaxies, $\dot ρ_{{\rm Ly}α}^{\rm IGM} = 8.73(6.51) \times 10^{40} {\rm erg}{\rm s}^{-1}{\rm Mpc}^{-3}$ and $\dot ρ_{{\rm Ly}α}^{\rm ISM} = 6.62(3.21) \times 10^{40} {\rm erg}{\rm s}^{-1}{\rm Mpc}^{-3}$ at $z = 4(7)$, is consistent with recent SDSS determinations. We predict a power $k^3 P^{{\rm Ly}α}(k, z)/2π^2 = 9.76\times 10^{-4}(2.09\times 10^{-5}){\rm nW}^2{\rm m}^{-4}{\rm sr}^{-2}$ at $z = 4(7)$ for $k = 0.1 h {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$.

description: Dialogische Unterrichtsgespräche über literarische Texte geben Schüler*innen nicht nur Raum für die Ko-Konstruktion von gemeinsamen Verstehensprozessen, sie haben auch das Potenzial, die diskursiven Kompetenzen der Schüler*innen zu fördern. Voraussetzung dafür ist, dass Lehrpersonen lernen, Unterrichtsgespräche weniger zu steuern und stattdessen durch situationsspezifische Frage-, Feedback- und Modellierungstechniken zu begleiten – und dies bildet die eigentliche Herausforderung. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Konzeption eines videobasierten Coachingformats vorgestellt, welches Primarlehrpersonen in der Veränderung ihrer diskursiven Praktiken in literarisch-dialogischen Unterrichtsgesprächen unterstützt. Wir orientieren uns bei der Konzeption des Coachingformats an wirksamen Weiterbildungskonzepten und gehen von der These aus, dass sich Handlungsroutinen nur dann aufbrechen lassen, wenn Lehrpersonen auch ihre professionelle Wahrnehmung schulen. In einem zirkulierenden Prozess, bestehend aus Analyse eigener Unterrichtsgespräche, Einübung von Handlungsalternativen und Reflexion ihrer Wirksamkeit, soll diskursives Lehrpersonenhandeln erweitert werden.

description: We present a phenomenological study of triple-Higgs production in which we estimate the prospects for measuring the form of the Higgs potential at future circular collider projects. We analyze proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV and focus on two different signatures in which the final state is made of four b-jets and either a pair of photons or a pair of tau leptons. We study the resulting sensitivity on the Higgs cubic and quartic self-interactions and investigate how it depends on the b-tagging, tau-tagging and photon resolution performances of detectors that could be designed for these future machines. We then discuss possible luminosity goals for future 100 TeV collider projects that would allow for a measurement of the Higgs potential and its possible departures from the Standard Model expectation.

description: Public health informatics is an evolving domain in which practices constantly change to meet the demands of a highly complex public health and healthcare delivery system. Given the emergence of various concepts, such as learning health systems, smart health systems, and adaptive complex health systems, health informatics professionals would benefit from a common set of measures and capabilities to inform our modeling, measuring, and managing of health system “smartness.” Here, we introduce the concepts of organizational complexity, problem/issue complexity, and situational awareness as three codependent drivers of smart public health systems characteristics. We also propose seven smart public health systems measures and capabilities that are important in a public health informatics professional’s toolkit.

description: Recent advances in computer graphics have relied on high-quality textures in order to generate photorealistic real-time images. Texture compression standards meet these growing demands for data, but current texture compression schemes use fixed-rate methods where statically sized blocks of pixels are represented using the same numbers of bits irrespective of their data content. In order to account for the natural variation in detail, we present an alternative format that allows variable bit-rate texture compression with minimal changes to texturing hardware. Our proposed scheme uses one additional level of indirection to allow the variation of the block size across the same texture. This single change is exploited to both vary the amount of bits allocated to certain parts of the texture and to duplicate redundant texture information across multiple pixels. To minimize hardware changes, the method picks combinations of block sizes and compression methods from existing fixed-rate standards. With this approach, our method is able to demonstrate energy savings of up to 50%, as well as higher quality compressed textures over current state of the art techniques.

description: One of the missing elements for realising an integrated optical circuit is a rectifying device playing the role of an optical diode. A proposal based on a pair of two-level atoms strongly coupled to a one-dimenisonal waveguide showed a promising behavior based on a semi-classical study [Fratini et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 243601 (2014)]. Our study in the full quantum regime shows that, in such a device, rectification is a purely multi-photon effect. For an input field in a coherent state, rectification reaches up to $70\%$ for the range of power in which one of the two atoms is excited, but not both.

description: Many interfacial phenomena in physical and biological systems are dominated by high order geometric quantities such as curvature. Here a semi-implicit method is combined with a level set jet scheme to handle stiff nonlinear advection problems. The new method offers an improvement over the semi-implicit gradient augmented level set method previously introduced by requiring only one smoothing step when updating the level set jet function while still preserving the underlying methods higher accuracy. Sample results demonstrate that accuracy is not sacrificed while strict time step restrictions can be avoided.

description: A pdf of the famous Bunky’s Doodle, or the Progression Phases of Alcoholism by Dr. E. M. Jellinek was presented to Jane and George Strachan at the Summer School of Alcohol Studies on July 18, 1950 at Pearson College of Yale University in New Haven, CT. The “Doodle” — a simplification of the phases — is the history of concurrent symptoms of behavior during the progression of the illness of alcoholism, which Dr. Jellinek presented for the first time at that Summer School Session. They were outlined in detail in the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol, vol. 13, No. 4 December 1952. The Doodle resulted in the “Jellinek curve,” and its widely popularized versions became the foundation is of substance abuse treatment.

description: Inspired by the problem of elastic wave scattering on wrinkled interfaces, we studied the scattering of ballistic electrons on a wrinkled potential energy region. The electron transmission coefficient depends on both wrinkle amplitude and periodicity, having different behaviors for positive and negative scattering potential energies. For scattering on potential barriers, minibands appear in electron transmission, as in superlattices, whereas for scattering on periodic potential wells the transmission coefficient has a more complex form. Besides suggesting that tuning of electron transmission is possible by modifying the scattering potential via voltages on wrinkled gate electrodes, our results emphasize the analogies between ballistic electrons and elastic waves even in scattering problems on non-typical configurations.

description: The Achilles tendon (AT) moment arm is an important determinant of ankle moment and power generation during locomotion. Load and depth-dependent variations in the AT moment arm are generally not considered, but may be relevant given the complex triceps surae architecture. We coupled motion analysis and ultrasound imaging to characterize AT moment arms during walking in 10 subjects. Muscle loading during push-off amplified the AT moment arm by 10% relative to heel strike. AT moment arms also varied by 14% over the tendon thickness. In walking, AT moment arms are not strictly dependent on kinematics, but exhibit important load and spatial dependencies.

description: In 1977 Stanley proved that the $h$-vector of a matroid is an $\mathcal{O}$-sequence and conjectured that it is a pure $\mathcal{O}$-sequence. In the subsequent years the validity of this conjecture has been shown for a variety of classes of matroids, though the general case is still open. In this paper we use Las Vergnas' internal order to introduce a new class of matroids which we call internally perfect. We prove that these matroids satisfy Stanley's Conjecture and compare them to other classes of matroids for which the conjecture is known to hold. We also prove that, up to a certain restriction on deletions, every minor of an internally perfect ordered matroid is internally perfect.

Hard-wall and non-uniform lattice Monte Carlo approaches to one-dimensional Fermi gases in a harmonic trap

description: We present in detail two variants of the lattice Monte Carlo method aimed at tackling systems in external trapping potentials: a uniform-lattice approach with hard-wall boundary conditions, and a non-uniform Gauss-Hermite lattice approach. Using those two methods, we compute the ground-state energy and spatial density profile for systems of N=4 - 8 harmonically trapped fermions in one dimension. From the favorable comparison of both energies and density profiles (particularly in regions of low density), we conclude that the trapping potential is properly resolved by the hard-wall basis. Our work paves the way to higher dimensions and finite temperature analyses, as calculations with the hard-wall basis can be accelerated via fast Fourier transforms, the cost of unaccelerated methods is otherwise prohibitive due to the unfavorable scaling with system size.

description: We present high-resolution spectroscopy of Rb$_\text{2}$ ultralong-range Rydberg molecules bound by mixed singlet-triplet electron-neutral atom scattering. The mixing of the scattering channels is a consequence of the hyperfine interaction in the ground-state atom, as predicted recently by Anderson et al. \cite{Anderson2014b}. Our experimental data enables the determination of the effective zero-energy singlet $s$-wave scattering length for Rb. We show that an external magnetic field can tune the contributions of the singlet and the triplet scattering channels and therefore the binding energies of the observed molecules. This mixing of molecular states via the magnetic field results in observed shifts of the molecular line which differ from the Zeeman shift of the asymptotic atomic states. Finally, we calculate molecular potentials using a full diagonalization approach including the $p$-wave contribution and all orders in the relative momentum $k$, and compare the obtained molecular binding energies to the experimental data.

description: Novelty: The first global PD approach for high-DOF articulated models.Generality: Handling hybrid joints and links represented using polygonal models.Conservativeness: Guaranteeing that the configuration realizing PD is penetration free.Efficiency: Taking about 0.03–3 ms per runtime PD query in our experiments.We present an algorithm for computing the global penetration depth between an articulated model and an obstacle or between the distinctive links of an articulated model. In so doing, we use a formulation of penetration depth derived in configuration space. We first compute an approximation of the boundary of the obstacle regions using a support vector machine in a learning stage. Then, we employ a nearest neighbor search to perform a runtime query for penetration depth. The computational complexity of the runtime query depends on the number of support vectors, and its computational time varies from 0.03 to 3 milliseconds in our benchmarks. We can guarantee that the configuration realizing the penetration depth is penetration free, and the algorithm can handle general articulated models. We tested our algorithm in robot motion planning and grasping simulations using many high degree of freedom (DOF) articulated models. Our algorithm is the first to efficiently compute global penetration depth for high-DOF articulated models.
title: Navigating the dynamic leadership labyrinth: Exploring narratives of women academics in Chinese higher education
Creators: name: Wang, Feier
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores women academics’ leadership experiences in Chinese higher education. It is situated within the literature on gender, organisations, and women’s leadership. It takes a social constructionist perspective and brings together the ‘leadership labyrinth’ and the ‘leadership web’ to form an analytical framework to examine how women academics make sense of their leadership trajectories. A semi-structured interview method was adopted to gain insight into women’s leadership experiences, and a narrative approach was used to analyse and present the findings. Three narratives of women academics’ leadership journeys were identified, namely: navigating the winding path towards leadership, learning while in the centre of the labyrinth, and leaving the centre of the labyrinth. Through combining the leadership labyrinth with the leadership web to conceptualise the findings of the research, it was found that women academics navigated the leadership labyrinth with the support of their leadership web. Specifically, they encountered challenges and opportunities that are characteristic of gendered organisations, but they were able to use their individual agency to use resources and power to help them to achieve their leadership goals. It was also found that, while navigating the leadership labyrinth, women academics’ attitudes and behaviours were shaped by gendered organisations, while their actions, in turn, influenced organisational culture and structures. The thesis makes theoretical and empirical contributions to knowledge of women’s leadership. Firstly, it shows that the leadership labyrinth is dynamic as its walls move and ‘disappear’, and that the labyrinth is co-constructed by both individuals and organisations. Secondly, the thesis demonstrates that individuals and organisations are undergoing changes in contemporary China, which will provide both new challenges and opportunities, for women on their paths towards leadership.

description: This report identifies urban design guidelines from a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) perspective of a potential site in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Transit Oriented Development is characterized as developing a mixed-used neighbourhood in a community which is frequently serviced by public transit. In Nanaimo, bus transit service is frequent but there are certain elements of urban design that the City lacks. This report is developed to identify those urban design elements in the form of a Design Guidebook. The Design Guidebook could be used by local planners, developers, and transit professionals in helping them to make land use planning decisions that better support the integration of transit into existing communities.

description: Using limits on photon flux from Dwarf Spheroidal galaxies, we place bounds on the parameter space of models in which Dark Matter annihilates into multiple final state particle pair channels. We derive constraints on effective operator models with Dark Matter couplings to third generation fermions and to pairs of Standard Model vector bosons. We present limits in various slices of model parameter space along with estimations of the region of maximal validity of the effective operator approach for indirect detection. We visualize our bounds for models with multiple final state annihilations by projecting parameter space constraints onto triangles, a technique familiar from collider physics; and we compare our bounds to collider limits on equivalent models.

description: Multi-atlas segmentation is a powerful approach to automated anatomy delineation via fusing label information from a set of spatially normalized atlases. For simplicity, many existing methods perform pairwise image registration, leading to inaccurate segmentation especially when shape variation is large. In this paper, we propose a dynamic tree-based strategy for effective large-deformation registration and multi-atlas segmentation. To deal with local minima caused by large shape variation, coarse estimates of deformations are first obtained via alignment of automatically localized landmark points. The dynamic tree capturing the structural relationships between images is then employed to further reduce misalignment errors. Evaluation based on two real human brain datasets, ADNI and LPBA40, shows that our method significantly improves registration and segmentation accuracy.
