description: Most of the existing recommender systems are based only on the rating data, and they ignore other sources of information that might increase the quality of recommendations, such as textual reviews, or user and item characteristics. Moreover, the majority of those systems are applicable only on small datasets (with thousands of observations) and are unable to handle large datasets (with millions of observations). We propose a recommender algorithm that combines a rating modelling technique (i.e., Latent Factor Model) with a topic modelling method based on textual reviews (i.e., Latent Dirichlet Allocation), and we extend the algorithm such that it allows adding extra user- and item-specific information to the system. We evaluate the performance of the algorithm using Amazon.com datasets with different sizes, corresponding to 23 product categories. After comparing the built model to four other models we found that combining textual reviews with ratings leads to better recommendations. Moreover, we found that adding extra user and item features to the model increases its prediction accuracy, which is especially true for medium and large datasets.
Charge expulsion, Spin Meissner effect, and charge inhomogeneity in superconductors

description: Superconductivity occurs in systems that have a lot of negative charge: the highly negatively charged $(CuO2)^{--}$ planes in the cuprates, negatively charged $(FeAs)^-$ planes in the iron arsenides, and negatively charged $B^-$ planes in magnesium diboride. And, in the nearly filled (with negative electrons) bands of almost all superconductors, as evidenced by their positive Hall coefficient in the normal state. According to the theory of hole superconductivity, metals become superconducting because they are driven to expel negative charge (electrons) from their interior. This is why NIS tunneling spectra are asymmetric, with larger current for negatively biased samples. It is also why there is a Meissner effect: as electrons are expelled towards the surface in the presence of a magnetic field, the Lorentz force imparts them with azimuthal velocity, thus generating the surface Meissner current that screens the interior magnetic field. In type II superconductors, the Lorentz force acting on expelled electrons that don't reach the surface gives rise to the azimuthal velocity of the vortex currents. In the absence of applied magnetic field, expelled electrons still acquire azimuthal velocity, due to the spin-orbit interaction, in opposite direction for spin-up and spin-down electrons: the "Spin Meissner effect". This results in a macroscopic spin current flowing near the surface of superconductors in the absence of applied fields. In strongly type II superconductors this physics should give rise to charge inhomogeneity and spin currents throughout the interior of the superconductor, to large sensitivity to (non-magnetic) disorder and to a strong tendency to phase separation.

description: With the use of lattice dynamics calculation within hybrid HSE06 framework we were able to understand vibrational spectra of MAgF3 M = K, Rb, Cs compounds. Comparative theoretical study uncovered lack of monotonicity in calculated optical phonons associated with Ag F stretching modes which can be explained through an interplay of Lewis acidity of MI cation and its size. We confirm the tetragonal unit cells of MAgF3 M=Rb, Cs at room temperature. We also theoretically predict an orthorhombic RbAgF3 polymorph as a ground state at low temperature. However, we were not able to detect it by the means of low temperature PXRD at 80 K nor low temperature Raman at 154 K due to a number of constraints. We also describe a novel Ruddlesden Popper phase of Rb3Ag2F7 which can be regarded as quasi 0D system, where superexchange coupling constant between the nearest AgII centres reaches an impressive value of minus 240.2 meV.

description: We develop the continuum mechanics of quantum many-body systems in the linear response regime. The basic variable of the theory is the displacement field, for which we derive a closed equation of motion under the assumption that the time-dependent wave function in a locally co-moving reference frame can be described as a geometric deformation of the ground-state wave function. We show that this equation of motion is exact for systems consisting of a single particle, and for all systems at sufficiently high frequency, and that it leads to an excitation spectrum that has the correct integrated strength. The theory is illustrated by simple model applications to one- and two-electron systems.

description: We present a robust and fast laser cooling scheme suitable for trapped atoms and ions. Based on quantum interference, generated by a special laser configuration, it is able to rapidly cool the system such that the final phonon occupation vanishes to zeroth order in the Lamb-Dicke parameter in contrast to existing cooling schemes. Furthermore, it is robust under conditions of fluctuating laser intensity and frequency, thus making it a viable candidate for experimental applications.

The homogeneity scale and the growth rate of cosmic structures

description: We propose a novel approach to obtain the growth rate of cosmic structures, $f(z)$, from the evolution of the cosmic homogeneity scale, $R_{\text{H}}(z)$. Our methodology needs two ingredients in a specific functional form: $R_{\text{H}}(z)$ data and the matter two-point correlation function today, i.e., $ξ(r, z=0)$. We use a Gaussian Process approach to reconstruct the function $R_{\text{H}}$. In the absence of suitable observational information of the matter correlation function in the local Universe, $z \simeq 0$, we assume a fiducial cosmology to obtain $ξ(r, z=0)$. For this reason, our final result turns out to be a consistency test of the cosmological model assumed. Our results show a good agreement between: (i) the growth rate $f^{R_{\text{H}}}(z)$ obtained through our approach, (ii) the $f^{Λ\text{CDM}}(z)$ expected in the fiducial model, and (iii) the best-fit $f(z)$ from data compiled in the literature. Moreover, using this data compilation, we perform a Gaussian Process to reconstruct the growth rate function $f^{\text{data}}(z)$ and compare it with the function $f^{R_{\text{H}}}(z)$ finding a concordance of $< \!2 \,σ$, a good result considering the few data available for both reconstruction processes. With more accurate $R_{\text{H}}(z)$ data, from forthcoming surveys, the homogeneity scale function might be better determined and would have the potential to discriminate between $Λ$CDM and alternative scenarios as a new cosmological observable.

Flavonoids and taxonomy of the Limnanthaceae
Creators: name: Parker, William Harrison
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Limnanthaceae is a small family of North American annual herbs with uncertain relationships. It is generally recognized to consist of two genera, Limnanthes and Floerkea, together containing 10 species with 13 varieties and subspecies. To help clarify relationships within this family, a comparative flavonoid investigation was undertaken. All taxa were compared on the basis of flavonoids occurring in all tissues, and most Limnanthes taxa were additionally compared on the basis of flavonoids occurring in the petals and the ultraviolet reflectance characteristics of their flowers. A total of hd flavonol glycosides were encountered. Of these, 35 were identified as derivatives of six flavonol aglycone types: syringetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, laricytrin (myricetin 3'-methyl ether), quereetin and myricetin, all glycosylated with combinations of glucose and rhamnose. The flavonoid data were analyzed by three numerical taxonomic techniques: clustering by the weighted pair group method, Principal Components Analysis, and Varimax Factor Analysis with rotation. Duplicate comparisons were made according to type of tissue analyzed and concentrations of flavonoids considered. Classifications based on petal flavonoids occurring in relatively higher concentrations were found to reflect most clearly natural relationships in Limnanthes. The ultraviolet reflectance characteristics of flowers were found to distinguish one supra-specific group of Limnanthes taxa from the remainder of the genus. The adaptive significance of ultraviolet patterning is discussed, together with its implications concerning flavonoid compositions. The method and validity of using flavonoids as taxonomic characters is also discussed. Flavonoid and ultraviolet reflectance characteristics are integrated with all other taxonomi-cally significant information known for the Limnanthaceae, and proposals for taxonomic revision are made. A synopsis of the family is presented which recognizes one genus, Floerkea, containing 15 species with 5 varieties.

description: We calculate the fermion propagator in FLRW spacetimes with constant deceleration $q=ε-1$, $ε=-\dot{H}/H^{2}$ for excited states. For fermions whose mass is generated by a scalar field through a Yukawa coupling $m=g_{\mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle{Y}}} ϕ$, we assume $ϕ\propto H$. We first solve for the mode functions by splitting the spinor into a direct product of helicity and chirality spinors. We also allow for non-vacuum states. We normalise the spinors using a consistent canonical quantisation and by requiring orthogonality of particle and anti-particle spinors. We apply our propagator to calculate the one loop effective action and renormalise using dimensional regularisation. Since the Hubble parameter is now treated dynamically, this paves the way to study the dynamical backreaction of fermions on the background spacetime.

description: The low energy electronic spectra of rotationally faulted graphene bilayers are studied using a long wavelength theory applicable to general commensurate fault angles. Lattice commensuration requires low energy electronic coherence across a fault and preempts massless Dirac behavior near the neutrality point. Sublattice exchange symmetry distinguishes two families of commensurate faults that have distinct low energy spectra which can be interpreted as energy-renormalized forms of the spectra for the limiting Bernal and AA stacked structures. Sublattice-symmetric faults are generically fully gapped systems due to a pseudospin-orbit coupling appearing in their effective low energy Hamiltonians.

description: We extend our previous work on the cosmology of Coleman-de Luccia bubble collisions. Within a set of approximations we calculate the effects on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as seen from inside a bubble which has undergone such a collision. We find that the effects are always qualitatively similar--an anisotropy that depends only on the angle to the collision direction--but can produce a cold or hot spot of varying size, as well as power asymmetries along the axis determined by the collision. With other parameters held fixed the effects weaken as the amount of inflation which took place inside our bubble grows, but generically survive order 10 efolds past what is required to solve the horizon and flatness problems. In some regions of parameter space the effects can survive arbitrarily long inflation.

description: The rate of star formation both in the Galaxy and in external galaxies should be related to the physical properties of the molecular clouds from which stars form. This is expected for the starbursts found both in irregular galaxies and in some mergers. The dwarf galaxy Henize 2-10 is particularly interesting in this context as it shows a number of newly formed Super Star Clusters (SSCs) associated with a very rich molecular environment. We present a high angular resolution study of the molecular gas associated with the SSCs with the aim of deriving the physical properties of the parent molecular clouds. The final goal is to test the expectation that the formation of SSCs requires exceptionally dense and massive clouds. We have used the Submillimeter Array with an angular resolution of 1.9 X 1.3 to map the J=2-1 transition of CO in Henize 2-10. Supplementary measurements of HCN(J=1-0), 13CO(J=2-1) and millimeter continuum were obtained with the APEX, IRAM-30m and SEST single dish telescopes. Our single dish observations confirm the association of the newly formed SSCs in Henize 2-10 with dense molecular gas. Our interferometric observations resolve the CO(2-1) emission in several giant molecular clouds. Overall the molecular gas accounts for approximately half of the mass in the central regions of Henize 2-10. Although we find indications that the molecular clouds associated with the formation of SSCs in Henize 2-10 are massive and dense, the tracer we used (CO) and the linear resolution of our observations (60 X 80 pc) are still not adequate to test the expectation that exceptionally dense and massive cores are required for SSCs formation.

description: Simple and complex organic molecules (COMs) are observed along different phases of star and planet formation and have been successfully identified in prestellar environments such as dark and translucent clouds. Yet the picture of organic molecule formation at those earliest stages of star formation is not complete and an important reason is the lack of specific laboratory experiments that simulate carbon atom addition reactions on icy surfaces of interstellar grains. Here we present experiments in which CO molecules as well as C- and H-atoms are co-deposited with H$_2$O molecules on a 10 K surface mimicking the ongoing formation of an "H$_2$O-rich" ice mantle. To simulate the effect of impacting C-atoms and resulting surface reactions with ice components, a specialized C-atom beam source is used, implemented on SURFRESIDE$^3$, an UHV cryogenic setup. Formation of ketene (CH$_2$CO) in the solid state is observed "in situ" by means of reflection absorption IR spectroscopy. C$^1$$^8$O and D isotope labelled experiments are performed to further validate the formation of ketene. Data analysis supports that CH$_2$CO is formed through C-atom addition to a CO-molecule, followed by successive hydrogenation transferring the formed :CCO into ketene. Efficient formation of ketene is in line with the absence of an activation barrier in C+CO reaction reported in the literature. We also discuss and provide experimental evidence for the formation of acetaldehyde (CH$_3$CHO) and possible formation of ethanol (CH$_3$CH$_2$OH), two COM derivatives of CH$_2$CO hydrogenation. The underlying reaction network is presented and the astrochemical implications of the derived pathways are discussed.

title: The self-associative properties and therapeutic applications of chiral Supramolecular Self-Associating Amphiphiles
Creators: name: Popoola, Precious I. A.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Reports estimate that globally, antimicrobial resistance directly caused 1.27 million deaths and indirectly caused 4.95 million deaths in 2019, while cancer directly caused 9.9 million deaths in 2020. With a growing resistance to current antibiotics and cancer treatments, there is an imperative need for new antimicrobial and anticancer agents to tackle this crisis. Supramolecular Self-associating Amphiphiles (SSAs) are a class of amphiphilic salts with the ability to undergo hydrogen bonded self-association and have been previously reported to act as both antimicrobial and anticancer agents. The SSA observed to have the greatest antimicrobial and anticancer activity was subsequently modified to create eight novel SSA compounds. Investigations into the physicochemical and self-associative properties of these novel compounds were conducted in the solid phase, gaseous phase and in solution using various techniques including quantitative 1H NMR, mass spectrometry, tensiometry, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential and circular dichroism. Initial results showed that the novel compounds showed better antimicrobial and anticancer activity than the SSA they were derived from.

The adult ideology as practical reasoning : a study of child psychotherapy
Creators: name: Parkinson, Gary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The 'topic' for this thesis was formulated after many months of doing field work-in a clinic offering play therapy to disturbed children. I was struck by the fact that the organization of activities, the therapy talk, and the therapist's explanations appeared from the beginning to be common-sensical, transparent, reasonable. I take this reasonableness as the 'topic' and ask how it was possible for me, on the basis of talk heard in the setting, to discover and describe the rationality of the setting— see events, etc., as instances-of-a-pattern-of-behavior, and concomitantly how therapists were able to make their work appear rational. The data consists of my experience in the setting and more specifically of the talk located in that setting. This formulation clearly locates this thesis in an emerging body of literature which treats the researchers achievement of making sense as the subject of inquiry. It is a study of practical reasoning, by which I mean to emphasize that psychotherapy accounts were tied to the everyday practises of therapists in ways that are not captured by idealizations of theoretical accounts, etc. An overlooked feature of those accounts are background expectancies, i.e., those taken-for-granted views of the world that enable us to see the adequacy of accounts, reasonableness of explanations, etc. It is proposed that it is our taken-for-granted views of 'children' as social actors which accomplishes this in the field setting. This is referred to as an adult ideology of childhood and this notion is explicated in relation to the therapy activity. Considerable detail is given on the use of one feature of the ideology, the relevance of families in relation to children. The adult ideology is offered as an interpretive schema which allows adult actors to continuously make sense of, manage, organize for, talk to children. It is claimed that this is an omni-present schema in the setting, that, in fact, it supports what is referred to as the psychiatric interpretive schema. It is demonstrated that it is not simply used to explain patient behavior but it is a device for managing relationships (showing competence), handling conversations (saying what has to be said), explaining relapses and therapy decisions, and so on. It is then proposed that the adult ideology be seen as a solution to my practical task—it enabled me to make sense of the actions, accounts, explanations of the therapists. Presumably the psychiatric interpretive schema allows therapists to make sense of patients. The two schemas are not substitutes for one another then but are responsive to different tasks in the setting. We are looking at occasioned accounts—treating children, and understanding therapists. The claim for the explanatory power of the adult ideology in the setting is then withdrawn. It is still claimed however that the adult ideology is a feature of our social world and the explication offered here should be seen as a substantive 'discovery'.

description: Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain systems, especially those that allow stakeholders to organize themselves in ``stake-pools'', have emerged as a compelling paradigm for the deployment of large scale distributed ledgers. A stake-pool operates a node that engages in the PoS protocol and potentially represents a large number of smaller stakeholders. While such pooled PoS operation is attractive from various angles, it also exhibits a significant shortcoming that, so far and to the best of our knowledge, has not been sufficiently understood or investigated. Pooled PoS operation, to be effective and not lead to sub-optimal dictatorial or cartel-like configurations, should enable the stakeholders to revoke and re-delegate their stake in a way that is aligned with their incentives. However, given that stake-pool operators are exactly those entities who determine what transactions are to be recorded in the ledger, they are quite likely to form a cartel and censor any transaction they want, such as those that attempt to adjust the current stake-pool lineup. In this way, a power grab takes place, where the stake-pool cartel perpetuates its control over the PoS system. We first model and observe formally the emergence of the above problem in pooled PoS systems, and then we describe an anti-censorship mechanism that takes advantage of the underlying cryptographic functions of the ledger and the nature of peer-to-peer networks to diffuse information without suppression. We provide a thorough game-theoretic analysis of this mechanism discovering various types of Nash equilibria which demonstrate that the ``revolution'', i.e., the strategic decision of pool members to withdraw support from a censoring cartel as well as the pool operators to step down, can be incentivized, under suitable and plausible conditions in the utility functions of the involved participants.

description: This paper focuses on the cavity perturbation technique to measure the dielectric properties of nanoparticles: (i) cobalt ferrite (ii) barium titanate and (iii) core-shell cobalt ferrite-barium titanate. The shift in TE103 and TE105 resonant mode is compared for the above three nanomaterials which in turn is correlated to its dielectric properties. Barium titanate has the highest shift in resonance peak and it is directly proportional to its relative permittivity followed by cobalt ferrite-barium titanate and cobalt ferrite respectively. However, the half power bandwidth, Δf is highest for the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles and least for barium titanate. Approximately 1.145 MHz shift and 3.391 MHz shift is observed for the insertion of the lossy core-shell cobalt ferrite in TE103 and TE105 modes. The quality factor for barium titante was measured to be approximately twice to that of cobalt ferrite for this particular experiment.

description: We combine measurements of weak gravitational lensing from the CFHTLS-Wide survey, supernovae Ia from CFHT SNLS and CMB anisotropies from WMAP5 to obtain joint constraints on cosmological parameters, in particular, the dark energy equation of state parameter w. We assess the influence of systematics in the data on the results and look for possible correlations with cosmological parameters. We implement an MCMC algorithm to sample the parameter space of a flat CDM model with a dark-energy component of constant w. Systematics in the data are parametrised and included in the analysis. We determine the influence of photometric calibration of SNIa data on cosmological results by calculating the response of the distance modulus to photometric zero-point variations. The weak lensing data set is tested for anomalous field-to-field variations and a systematic shape measurement bias for high-z galaxies. Ignoring photometric uncertainties for SNLS biases cosmological parameters by at most 20% of the statistical errors, using supernovae only; the parameter uncertainties are underestimated by 10%. The weak lensing field-to-field variance pointings is 5%-15% higher than that predicted from N-body simulations. We find no bias of the lensing signal at high redshift, within the framework of a simple model. Assuming a systematic underestimation of the lensing signal at high redshift, the normalisation sigma_8 increases by up to 8%. Combining all three probes we obtain -0.10<1+w<0.06 at 68% confidence (-0.18<1+w<0.12 at 95%), including systematic errors. Systematics in the data increase the error bars by up to 35%; the best-fit values change by less than 0.15sigma. [Abridged]

description: We derive the fully retarded energy shift of a neutral atom in two different geometries useful for modelling etched microstructures. First we calculate the energy shift due to a reflecting cylindrical wire, and then we work out the energy shift due to a semi-infinite reflecting half-plane. We analyze the results for the wire in various limits of the wire radius and the distance of the atom from the wire, and obtain simple asymptotic expressions useful for estimates. For the half-plane we find an exact representation of the Casimir-Polder interaction in terms of a single, fast converging integral, which is easy to evaluate numerically.

description: Kurz vor Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, im April 1945: Aus deutscher Kriegsgefangenschaft entkommen, passierte eine Gruppe von Aserbaidschanern in deutscher Uniform die Schweizer Grenze. Sie wurde in der Schweiz interniert und sollte sich wenig später bei der Neuaufnahme diplomati- scher Beziehungen mit der Sowjetunion als besondere Herausforderung erweisen. Der vorliegende Artikel behandelt die Repatriierungsfrage der aserbaidschanischen Internierten als bedeutenden Aspekt der Annäherung zwischen der Schweiz und der Sowjetunion in der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit. Ihre Ausschaffung in die Türkei im Jahr 1948 ist in Anbetracht der fragilen Beziehungen zur kommunistischen Grossmacht retrospektiv als aussenpolitisch riskant einzustufen. Denn die Sowjetunion – zu der die offiziellen Beziehungen erst 1946 wieder aufgenommen wurden – hatte eine «restlose» Repatriierung gefordert.
description: Shortly before the end of the Second World War, April 1945: A group of Azerbaijanis in German uniforms crosses the Swiss border. These escaped Soviet prisoners of war were subsequently interned in Switzerland and shortly afterwards proved to be a particular challenge in the sensitive undertaking of re-establishing diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. This article deals with the repatriation issue of the Azerbaijani internees as an important aspect of the rapprochement between Switzerland and the Soviet Union in the immediate post-war period. In retrospect, their deportation to Turkey in 1948 can be classified as risky in terms of foreign policy, given the fragile relations with the communist superpower, which have just been restored in 1946, and the Soviet Unions’ demand of «total» repatriation.

description: In recent years Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have emerged as one of the most promising novel low temperature detector technologies. Their unrivaled scalability makes them very attractive for many modern applications and scientific instruments. In this paper we intend to give an overview of how and where MKIDs are currently being used or are suggested to be used in the future. MKID based projects are ongoing or proposed for observational astronomy, particle physics, material science and THz imaging, and the goal of this review is to provide an easily usable and thorough list of possible starting points for more in-depth literature research on the many areas profiting from kinetic inductance detectors.
title: Abbildendes Raman Deuterium Stable Isotope Probing von Fluidgemischen in Tropfen und Mikrokanälen

description: Die Verdunstung von komplexen Gemischen ist im täglichen Leben allgegenwärtig. Beim Malen, Tintenstrahldrucken und Kleben verdunsten Lösemittel, während andere relevante Bestandteile der Farbe, Tinte oder des Klebstoffs auf der Oberfläche haften bleiben. Auch wenn Flüssigkeiten auf Oberflächen (ungewollt) eintrocknen und Rückstände zurückbleiben, spielt die Verdunstung bei diesen Trocknungsprozessen eine große Rolle. Die einzelnen Komponenten verdampfen unterschiedlich schnell, wodurch sich Konzentrationsgradienten in den Gemischen bilden, die mithilfe der Ramanspektroskopie charakterisiert werden können.Werden chemisch ähnliche Substanzen untersucht, muss eine Komponente davon chemisch markiert werden, damit die Substanzen mit der Ramanspektroskopie unterschieden werden können. Diese Methode wird zum Beispiel auch beim Raman Deuterium Stable Isotope Probing praktiziert. Eine Art der Markierung kann die Substitution von Wasserstoffatomen durch Deuteriumatome sein. Mit dieser Arbeit konnte die Raman Deuterium Stable Isotope Probing Methode zur Untersuchung chemisch ähnlicher Substanzen an zwei Beispielsystemen und -versuchsaufbauten etabliert werden. Um Mischungsverhältnisse und Mischungsverhalten von Fluiden auch in derMikrofluidik untersuchen zu können, wurden Experimente mit Ramanspektroskopie in Mikrokanälen durchgeführt. Für die Ramanspektroskopie benötigen die verwendeten Mikrosysteme eine hohe Transparenz, weshalb eine Methode für den 3D Druck transparenter Mikrosysteme entwickelt wurde. Das Drucken transparenter Bauteile (für verschiedene Anwendungen) ist mit stereolithographischem 3D Druck möglich. Ein kommerziell erhältlicher 3D Drucker wurde modifiziert, um die Transparenz der gedruckten Bauteile zu erhöhen. Mithilfe dieser Konfiguration wurde die Transparenz der Bauteile so weit erhöht, dass sie für die Ramanspektroskopie verwendet werden können. Durch die Kombination beider Methoden – Raman Deuterium stable isotope probing und transparenter 3D Druck – wurde eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, das Mischungsverhalten chemisch ähnlicher Substanzen in 3D gedruckten Mikrokanälen zu charakterisieren.

description: Non-equilibrium thermodynamics has long been an area of substantial interest to ecologists because most fundamental biological processes, such as protein synthesis and respiration, are inherently energy-consuming. Microbial communities are a natural system to decipher this mechanistic basis because their interactions in the form of substrate consumption, metabolite production, and cross-feeding can be described explicitly in thermodynamic terms. Previous work has considered how thermodynamic constraints impact competition between pairs of species, but restrained from analysing how this manifests in complex dynamical systems. To address this gap, we develop a thermodynamic microbial community model with fully reversible reaction kinetics, which allows direct consideration of free-energy dissipation. This also allows species to interact via products rather than just substrates, increasing the dynamical complexity, and allowing a more nuanced classification of interaction types to emerge. Using this model, we find that community diversity increases with substrate lability, because greater free-energy availability allows for faster generation of niches. Thus, more niches are generated in the time frame of community establishment, leading to higher final species diversity. We also find that allowing species to make use of near-to-equilibrium reactions increases diversity in a low free-energy regime. In such a regime, two new thermodynamic interaction types that we identify here reach comparable strengths to the conventional (competition and facilitation) types, emphasising the key role that thermodynamics plays in community dynamics. Our results suggest that accounting for realistic thermodynamic constraints is vital for understanding the dynamics of real-world microbial communities.
