description: We calculate the $D^0$-$\overline{D}^0$ mixing parameter $y$ in the factorization-assisted topological-amplitude (FAT) approach, considering contributions from $D^{0}\to PP$, $PV$, and $VV$ modes, where $P$ ($V$) stands for a pseudoscalar (vector) meson. The $D^{0}\to PP$ and $PV$ decay amplitudes are extracted in the FAT approach, and the $D^{0}\to VV$ decay amplitudes with final states in the longitudinal polarization are estimated via the parameter set for $D^{0}\to PV$. It is found that the $VV$ contribution to $y$, being of order of $10^{-4}$, is negligible, and that the $PP$ and $PV$ contributions amount only up to $y_{PP+PV}=(0.21\pm0.07)\%$, a prediction more precise than those previously obtained in the literature, and much lower than the experimental data $y_{\rm exp}=(0.61\pm0.08)\%$. We conclude that $D^{0}$ meson decays into other two-body and multi-particle final states are relevant to the evaluation of $y$, so it is difficult to understand it fully in an exclusive approach.

description: Two heavily truncated urned cremation burials, both radiocarbon dated to the early part of the Middle Bronze Age, were excavated during investigations carried out in advance of residential development on land off Leicester road, Countesthorpe. the burials were made in grog-tempered Deverel-Rimbury style vessels and were located on a natural ridge which traversed the eastern extent of the site from north to south. Two further radiocarbon dates from two pits indicated a later phase of activity on the site in the Middle to late Bronze Age. The absence of any definitive evidence for settlement on the site suggests this may have been a liminal area reserved for funerary and ritual activity.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 88, 15-36
description: Open area excavation on land off Seagrave Road in Sileby revealed a small early-middle Iron Age enclosure, defined by a substantial ditch. Although the enclosure contained a possible roundhouse, the quantity of finds recovered was small, suggesting that the site was associated with seasonal or short-term occupation. The enclosure was situated next to an extensive boundary which, by the Roman period, was used as a trackway. It continued northwards for at least 450m, forming an integral part of an unexcavated Romano-British settlement. The latter appears to have been laid out around another, very similar early-middle Iron Age enclosure.The excavation archive is held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under accession number X.A145.2011.

description: In this article we propose a system capable of THz radiation with quantum yield above unity. The system consists of nanoparticles where the material composition varies along the radial direction of each nanoparticle in such a way that a ladder of equidistant energy levels emerges. By then exciting the highest level of this ladder we produce multiple photons of the same frequency in the THz range. We demonstrate how we can calculate a continuous material composition profile that achieves a high quantum yield and then show that a more experimentally friendly design of a multishell nanoparticle can still result in a high quantum yield.

description: В статье анализируется практика судебных органов Новгородской губернии XVIII в. по делам о должностных преступлениях соляных и винных приставов (казнокрадство, злоупотребления по службе). Автором приводятся материалы фондов Государственного архива Новгородской области. Знакомство с уголовными делами новгородских чиновников позволяет выявить наиболее криминогенные сферы государственного управления и отрасли экономики Российской империи. В ходе рассмотрения практики государственных монополий в сфере соляного и винного промыслов автор определяет способы совершения преступлений соляными и винными приставами. На основе анализа применения законодательства XVIII в. судебными органами губернии автором выделены характерные особенности привлечения к ответственности за должностные преступления. В исследовании дается оценка факторов, определявших высокий уровень распространения должностных преступлений и безнаказанность виновных в них чиновников. Автор считает, что обобщение исторического опыта необходимо для поступательного развития государственной политики в сфере противодействия должностным преступлениям.

description: Charged excitons, or X$^{\pm}$-trions, in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides have binding energies of several tens of meV. Together with the neutral exciton X$^0$ they dominate the emission spectrum at low and elevated temperatures. We use charge tunable devices based on WSe$_2$ monolayers encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, to investigate the difference in binding energy between X$^+$ and X$^-$ and the X$^-$ fine structure. We find in the charge neutral regime, the X$^0$ emission accompanied at lower energy by a strong peak close to the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon energy. This peak is absent in reflectivity measurements, where only the X$^0$ and an excited state of the X$^0$ are visible. In the $n$-doped regime, we find a closer correspondence between emission and reflectivity as the trion transition with a well-resolved fine-structure splitting of 6~meV for X$^-$ is observed. We present a symmetry analysis of the different X$^+$ and X$^-$ trion states and results of the binding energy calculations. We compare the trion binding energy for the $n$-and $p$-doped regimes with our model calculations for low carrier concentrations. We demonstrate that the splitting between the X$^+$ and X$^-$ trions as well as the fine structure of the X$^-$ state can be related to the short-range Coulomb exchange interaction between the charge carriers.

The Midland Counties Illuminator: A Leicester Chartist Journal

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 35, 68-77
description: At the end of the year 1840 or the beginning of the year 1841 the Leicester Chartists contributed their share to the general revival of Chartism by establishing a weekly journal named The Midland Counties llluminator. Most historians have relied hitherto mainly upon the autobiography of Thomas Cooper for their knowledge of this journal. One American biographer examined the 16 issues in the British Museum, but he was too much under the spell of Cooper's autobiography to notice that the internal evidence of the llluminator was not wholly in accord with Cooper's state-ments about it. He failed also to realise that it throws a surprising light on the character of Chartism in 1841.
Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation: stochastic stability of resonances and unstable manifold expansion

description: We investigate the dynamics close to a homogeneous stationary state of Vlasov equation in one dimension, in presence of a small dissipation modeled by a Fokker-Planck operator. When the stationary state is stable, we show the stochastic stability of Landau poles. When the stationary state is unstable, depending on the relative size of the dissipation and the unstable eigenvalue, we find three distinct nonlinear regimes: for a very small dissipation, the system behaves as a pure Vlasov equation; for a strong enough dissipation, the dynamics presents similarities with a standard dissipative bifurcation; in addition, we identify an intermediate regime interpolating between the two previous ones. The non linear analysis relies on an unstable manifold expansion, performed using Bargmann representation for the functions and operators analyzed. The resulting series are estimated with Mellin transform techniques.

description: Area excavation on a river terrace in advance of road development investigated aspects of an Iron Age settlement including an enclosure, a circular structure and a burial central to a rectangular structure. The morphology of the site, the position of the burial and examples of the intentional deposition of selected artefacts is evidence of ritual activity within a domestic framework. The pottery from the site is almost exclusively Iron Age, and interpretation of a radiocarbon programme has dated the site to c. 450-350 BC. A flint assemblage indicates terrace exploitation from at least the late. Neolithic period and possibly flint use in the 1st millennium BC.

description: Herein, we report the crystal structure and guest binding properties of a new two-dimensional (2D) square lattice (sql) topology coordination network, sql-(azpy)(pdia)-Ni, which is comprised of two linker ligands with diazene (azo) moieties, (E)-1,2-di(pyridin-4-yl)diazene(azpy) and (E)-5-(phenyldiazenyl)isophthallate(pdia). sql-(azpy)(pdia)-Ni underwent guest-induced switching between a closed (nonporous) β phase and several open (porous) α phases, but unlike the clay-like layer expansion to distinct phases previously reported in switching sql networks, a continuum of phases was formed. In effect, sql-(azpy)(pdia)-Ni exhibited elastic-like properties induced by adaptive guest binding. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) studies of the α phases revealed that the structural transformations were enabled by the pendant phenyldiazenyl moiety on the pdia2– ligand. This moiety functioned as a type of hinge to enable parallel slippage of layers and interlayer expansion for the following guests: N,N-dimethylformamide, water, dichloromethane, para-xylene, and ethylbenzene. The slippage angle (interplanar distances) ranged from 54.133° (4.442 Å) in the β phase to 69.497° (5.492 Å) in the ethylbenzene-included phase. Insight into the accompanying phase transformations was also gained from variable temperature powder XRD studies. Dynamic water vapor sorption studies revealed a stepped isotherm with little hysteresis that was reversible for at least 100 cycles. The isotherm step occurred at ca. 50% relative humidity (RH), the optimal RH value for humidity control.

description: YFeO$_3$ and LaFeO$_3$ are members of the rare-earth orthoferrites family with \textit{Pbnm} space group. Using inelastic neutron scattering, the low-energy spin excitations have been measured around magnetic Brillouin zone center. Splitting of magnon branches and non-zero magnon gap is observed for both compounds, which is similar to the behavior observed in multiferroic BiFeO$_3$. Spin wave calculations which include both Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions and single-ion anisotropy in the spin-Hamiltonian comprehensively accounts for all the experimentally observed features. Our results offer insight into the unifying physics underlying the Fe$^{3+}$-based perovskites as well as their distinguishing characteristics.

Josephson photodetectors via temperature-to-phase conversion

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We theoretically investigate the temperature-to-phase conversion (TPC) process occurring in dc superconducting quantum interferometers based on superconductor--normal metal--superconductor (SNS) mesoscopic Josephson junctions. In particular, we predict the temperature-driven rearrangement of the phase gradients in the interferometer under the fixed constraints of fluxoid quantization and supercurrent conservation. This allows sizeable phase variations across the junctions for suitable structure parameters and temperatures. We show that the TPC can be a basis for sensitive single-photon sensors or bolometers. We propose a radiation detector realizable with conventional materials and state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques. Integrated with a superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor (SQUIPT) as a readout set-up, an aluminum (Al)-based TPC calorimeter can provide a large signal to noise (S/N) ratio $>100$ in the 10~GHz$\cdots$10~THz frequency range, and a resolving power larger than $10^2$ below 50~mK for THz photons. In the bolometric operation, electrical NEP of $\sim10^{-22}$~W$/\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ is predicted at 50 mK. This device can be attractive as a cryogenic single-photon sensor operating in the giga- and terahertz regime, with applications in dark matter searches.

description: We prove, for any state in a conformal field theory defined on a set of boundary manifolds with corresponding classical holographic bulk geometry, that for any bipartition of the boundary into two non-clopen sets, the density matrix cannot be a tensor product of the reduced density matrices on each region of the bipartition. In particular, there must be entanglement across the bipartition surface. We extend this no-go theorem to general, arbitrary partitions of the boundary manifolds into non-clopen parts, proving that the density matrix cannot be a tensor product. This result gives a necessary condition for states to potentially correspond to holographic duals.

description: In several literatures, the authors give a new thinking of measurement theory system based on error non-classification philosophy, which completely overthrows the existing measurement concept system of precision, trueness and accuracy. In this paper, by focusing on the issues of error's regularities and effect characteristics, the authors will do a thematic interpretation, and prove that the error's regularities actually come from different cognitive perspectives, are also unable to be used for classifying errors, and that the error's effect characteristics actually depend on artificial condition rules of repeated measurement, and are still unable to be used for classifying errors. Thus, from the perspectives of error's regularities and effect characteristics, the existing error classification philosophy is still incorrect; and an uncertainty concept system, which must be interpreted by the error non-classification philosophy, naturally becomes the only way out of measurement theory.

It is known that the Burau representation is faithful for $n\le 3$ and that it is not faithful for $n\ge 5$. We use forks and noodles homological techniques and Bokut--Vesnin generators to analyze the problem for $n=4$. We present a Conjecture implying faithfulness and a Lemma explaining the implication.

description: Yorioka [J. Symbolic Logic 67(4):1373-1384, 2002] introduced a class of ideals (parametrized by reals) on the Cantor space to prove that the relation between the size of the continuum and the cofinality of the strong measure zero ideal on the real line cannot be decided in ZFC. We construct a matrix iteration of ccc posets to force that, for many ideals in that class, their associated cardinal invariants (i.e. additivity, covering, uniformity and cofinality) are pairwise different. In addition, we show that, consistently, the additivity and cofinality of Yorioka ideals does not coincide with the additivity and cofinality (respectively) of the ideal of Lebesgue measure zero subsets of the real line.

A Probabilistic Model for the Cold-Start Problem in Rating Prediction using Click Data
Creators: name: Nguyen, ThaiBinh

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Information Retrieval (cs.IR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: One of the most efficient methods in collaborative filtering is matrix factorization, which finds the latent vector representations of users and items based on the ratings of users to items. However, a matrix factorization based algorithm suffers from the cold-start problem: it cannot find latent vectors for items to which previous ratings are not available. This paper utilizes click data, which can be collected in abundance, to address the cold-start problem. We propose a probabilistic item embedding model that learns item representations from click data, and a model named EMB-MF, that connects it with a probabilistic matrix factorization for rating prediction. The experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed model is not only effective in recommending items with no previous ratings, but also outperforms competing methods, especially when the data is very sparse.

Universal trade-off between power, efficiency, and constancy in steady-state heat engines

description: Heat engines should ideally have large power output, operate close to Carnot efficiency and show constancy, i.e., exhibit only small fluctuations in this output. For steady-state heat engines, driven by a constant temperature difference between the two heat baths, we prove that out of these three requirements only two are compatible. Constancy enters quantitatively the conventional trade-off between power and efficiency. Thus, we rationalize and unify recent suggestions for overcoming this simple trade-off. Our universal bound is illustrated for a paradigmatic model of a quantum dot solar cell and for a Brownian gyrator delivering mechanical work against an external force.

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 65, 55-67
description: This paper examines a range of local working-class perceptions and attitudes in order to determine the extent to which an ethic of respectability was a formative influence on the development of working-class consciousness and ideology in Leicester in the period c. 1845 to 1880. The conclusion is reached that respectability was an increasingly important element in working-class thought in Leicester in the period. At the same time it was an ethic with a distinctively working-class formulation, essentially collectivistic in orientation and committed to working-class independence and deferring to no one. The paper also raises important questions for future investigations.

description: In July 1841, the excursion organised by Thomas Cook to a temperance rally in Loughborough 'took a trip into history'. Less well known than this famous journey are the pioneering rail excursions organised by the Mechanics' Institutes during the two preceding years. This paper is concerned with the story of the excursion undertaken by the Mechanics Institutes of Leicester and Nottingham during the summer of 1840. With the opening of the Midland Counties Railway in May 1840, there existed for the first time in the East Midlands a means of quick mass conveyance between the region's towns which enabled people to travel for leisure purposes in a manner without previous local precedent. The Mechanics utilised the potential of steam-powered rail travel to visit the exhibitions in Leicester and Nottingham in 1840. These exhibitions were organised by their respective Mechanic Institutes with the aim of providing education, entertainment and raising funds. The reciprocal visits between the two towns' were a tremendous success and provided inspiration for subsequent leisure excursions and the imminent development of the tourism industry.

description: The proposed redevelopment of Wilkinson's store (Charles Street) led to a series of archaeological investigations commissioned by Wells Associates on behalf of Fara Estates as part of a planning condition required by the Archaeology Section, Leicester Museums Service (LCMS). These investigations comprised a desk-based assessment (Prosser 2000) and an evaluation (Doel 2000), which confirmed the presence of Roman features, including inhumation burials. Subsequently, the LCMS Archaeology Section issued a brief for excavation which was followed by a specification prepared by Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (HAT, now Archaeological Solutions Ltd.). The excavation was undertaken in May and June 2001. It revealed two principal phases of Roman activity, the second comprising 58 graves containing 62 skeletons (Crank 2001). The remains of several inhumations extended beyond the limits of the excavation and could not be recovered given the requirements of health and safety. As a result LCMS requested that, in accordance with the initial brief, all significant remains be recorded. A second phase of excavation was undertaken in October 2001 (O'Brien & Crank 2001) and revealed 33 further graves.

description: In the domain of sequence modelling, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) have been capable of achieving impressive results in a variety of application areas including visual question answering, part-of-speech tagging and machine translation. However this success in modelling short term dependencies has not successfully transitioned to application areas such as trajectory prediction, which require capturing both short term and long term relationships. In this paper, we propose a Tree Memory Network (TMN) for modelling long term and short term relationships in sequence-to-sequence mapping problems. The proposed network architecture is composed of an input module, controller and a memory module. In contrast to related literature, which models the memory as a sequence of historical states, we model the memory as a recursive tree structure. This structure more effectively captures temporal dependencies across both short term and long term sequences using its hierarchical structure. We demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed TMN in two practical problems, aircraft trajectory modelling and pedestrian trajectory modelling in a surveillance setting, and in both cases we outperform the current state-of-the-art. Furthermore, we perform an in depth analysis on the evolution of the memory module content over time and provide visual evidence on how the proposed TMN is able to map both long term and short term relationships efficiently via a hierarchical structure.

description: This paper highlights some of the most significant discoveries made during fieldwork at Rothley Lodge Farm, Leicester Road, Rothley, Leicestershire, undertaken in 2004 and 2005 (Hunt 2006). The fieldwork revealed deposits and material of mid-late Neolithic date (c.3600-2300 BC). Evidence of deliberately placed finds has been located in several of the archaeological features, including a large amorphous, flat-based pit, the fill of which contained several thousand finds, including decorated sherds of Grooved Ware pottery, a large lithic assemblage and a remarkable engraved stone plaque displaying figurative art (Cooper and Hunt 2005). Another pit also contained Grooved Ware, calcined stone axe fragments, calcined roe deer bone and a stone rubber with two ceramic spheres, which may represent a fertility symbol. The artefacts are interpreted as symbols of identity and transformation, perhaps connected with the 'closure' of a settlement.
Sine-Gordon soliton as a model for Hawking radiation of moving black holes and quantum soliton evaporation

description: The intriguing connection between black holes' evaporation and physics of solitons is opening novel roads to finding observable phenomena. It is known from the inverse scattering transform that velocity is a fundamental parameter in solitons theory. Taking this into account, the study of Haw\-king radiation by a moving soliton gets a growing relevance. However, a theoretical context for the description of this phenomenon is still lacking. Here, we adopt a soliton geometrization technique to study the quantum emission of a moving soliton in a one-dimensional model. Representing a black hole by the one soliton solution of the sine-Gordon equation, we consider Haw\-king emission spectra of a quantized massless scalar field on the soliton-induced metric. We study the relation between the soliton velocity and the black hole temperature. Our results address a new scenario in the detection of new physics in the quantum gravity panorama.

The Library of Charles Carroll of Carollton

description: Charles Carroll of Carrollton was a pivotal leader in revolutionary Maryland and the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. This thesis attempts to set forth Carroll's intellectual life through an examination of the Carroll correspondence and the Antilon-First Citizen letters, and more important, by reconstructing the Carroll library as it existed during the years of the American Revolution. The reconstruction is based on five book lists that were made between 1759 and 1767, and on a catalogue made of the library in 1864 prior to its being sold at auction. The reconstruction is only an approximation of the Carroll library due to the following methodological limitations. First, not all the books that Carroll mentions in his correspondence are included on any of the book lists or in the auction catalogue. Second, after the death of his father Carroll undoubtedly merged his books with the family library. Third, only those books in the catalogue with a publication date prior to 1783 are included, thus including some and excluding others that Carroll may or may not have had during the Revolution. By the nature of the books in the library and from numerous hints in the Carroll correspondence, it is concluded that Carroll attempted to create an ideal libra ry. Therefore, because Carroll was one of the most erudite political participants of his time, this library is not only a reflection of Carroll's mind, but a map to the intellectual landscape of revolutionary America.

description: This article presents the results of an excavation at Temple Grange, Rothley, Leicestershire that revealed significant evidence for settlement activity during both the Early and Late Neolithic, and it is one of a growing number of sites of this date in the Soar Valley, close to its confluence with the River Wreake. The Early Neolithic settlement, dated c.3500-3300 BC, comprises a possible sunken-featured building, and a series of pits containing structured deposits of flint and 'modified' Carinated Bowl pottery. The Late Neolithic settlement, associated with Grooved Ware and dated c.2900-2500 BC, contained a circular timber building, and other ephemeral post-built structures and pits. The evidence for a Late Neolithic settlement at nearby Rothley Lodge Farm is also summarised here in advance of fuller publication. These two sites represent the most tangible evidence of Neolithic settlement so far found in Leicestershire, and the discussion attempts to place these discoveries within the context of current thinking on settlement of this date in Britain, arguing that the practice of 'special deposition' occurring at this location may be a form of 'place making'.

Predicting the Ignition Time and Burning Rate of Thermoplastics in the Cone Calorimeter
Creators: name: Hopkins, Donald
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 1995

description: Ignition and burning rate data are developed for Nylon 6/6, Polyethylene, and Polypropylene in a Cone Calorimeter heating assembly. The objective is to examine a testing protocol that leads to the prediction of ignition and burning rate for thermoplastics from Cone data. The flame heat flux is not measured, but is inferred from Cone data. The constancy of the flame heat flux for thermoplastics in the Cone calorimeter is due to the geometry of the flame. The burning rate model is shown to yield good accuracy in comparison to measured transient values. Ignition and burning rate data are developed for Redwood and Red Oak in a Cone Calorimeter heating assembly. Measurements of the flame plus external heat flux are presented. The data is intended to be used for future work to develop a testing protocol and burning rate model for charring materials.

description: In TLAHS 73, 1999 (p. 87), the initial results of archaeological work on a development site at Willow Farm, Castle Donington were reported. The investigations provided an opportunity to examine the exploitation of a c.38 hectare landscape encompassing relic river channels and their adjacent banks, and a spur of higher ground extending from the gravel terrace.The exploration of the area, including distinct geographical landscapes, revealed a wide range of archaeological activities. Two groups of pits on the gravel terrace, including a pit containing the charred remains of fruits, nuts and cereal grains, provided evidence of Early Bronze Age activity.During the Middle and Late Bronze Age the area was more extensively exploited, possibly on a seasonal basis, with further evidence including burials surrounded by a ring ditch, two burnt mounds, a roundhouse and numerous pits.The Late Bronze Age saw domestic activity in the form of post-built roundhouses, either side of a pit alignment boundary. The area was reoccupied by a small Anglo-Saxon settlement in the fifth-seventh century AD, which included two post-built halls and at least one sunken featured building.
