description: Superconducting resonators play a crucial role in the development of quantum technologies such as quantum computing or high performance detectors. Yet, one of their main limitations regarding to noise and sensitivity is the interaction with two-level systems present in oxide layers in the device. Focused on mitigating this problem, we study a superconducting device combining a 100 nm niobium (Nb) circuit with a 10 nm gold (Au) capping layer. Our investigation covers a wide range of temperatures and driving powers, revealing that adding the Au layer reduces the density of two-level system defects while maintaining a very high quality factor. Moreover, an increase in the non-linearity response is also observed. Our findings suggest the potential of Nb/Au lumped element resonators as versatile and promising tools for advancing superconducting quantum technologies.

description: Einfluß von Atmosphäre-Ozean Wechselwirkungen auf Starkniederschläge über Europa: Trotz der wichtigen Rolle, die die Ozeane für Wetter und Klima spielen, wurden erst kürzlich gekoppelte regionale Atmosphäre-Ozean-Modelle entwickelt und nur in einigen wenigen Gebieten der Welt angewendet. Hier geben wir einen Überblick über die gekoppelte Atmosphäre-Ozean Modellierung für Europa im Allgemeinen und den Einfluss auf extreme Niederschläge im Besonderen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hierbei auf zwei Regionen, der Nord- und Ostseeregion sowie der Mittelmeerregion. Die Verdunstung aus diesen Randmeeren ist neben der aus dem Nordatlantik die Hauptquelle für die Bildung starker Regenfälle in Europa. Influence of Atmospheric Ocean interactions on heavy rainfall over Europe: In spite of the important role of oceans in shaping our climate and weather patterns, coupled regional atmosphere-ocean models have just recently been developed and only over a few areas in the world. Here we present an overview of air-sea coupled modelling for the European area in general and the effect of this coupling on extreme precipitation in particular. We will focus on the North and Baltic Sea region as well as the Mediterranean Sea region. Evaporation from these marginal seas, in addition to the North Atlantic, is the major moisture source for heavy rainfall over Europe.

description: This article explores the strategies used by Israeli students to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in the interactive computer game, PeaceMaker. Students played PeaceMaker in the roles of both the Israeli Prime Minister and the Palestinian President in random order. Students must take actions satisfying constituents on both sides of the conflict in order to win the game. The diversity of actions taken in each role was measured. Several hypotheses test the degree to which Israeli students, depending on which role they played and their own demographic variables, exploited a consistent set of actions or explored a more diverse range of actions across three main types: construction, political, and security. The results show that (1) greater action diversity increases success in both roles, (2) Israeli students engaged in less diverse actions when playing the Israeli role than when playing the Palestinian role, (3) students’ religiosity and political Hawkishness negatively predicted action diversity when playing the Palestinian role, and (4) action diversity mediates the relationship between a student’s background knowledge about the conflict and success in the Israeli role. The significance of these findings for understanding attitudes about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict are discussed, including implications for conflict resolution more generally.
The real-time molecular characterisation of human brain tumours during surgery using Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry [REIMS] and Raman spectroscopy: a platform for precision medicine in neurosurgery
Creators: name: Vaqas, Babar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Aim: To investigate new methods for the chemical detection of tumour tissue during neurosurgery. Rationale: Surgeons operating on brain tumours currently lack the ability to directly and immediately assess the presence of tumour tissue to help guide resection. Through developing a first in human application of new technology we hope to demonstrate the proof of concept that chemical detection of tumour tissue is possible. It will be further demonstrated that information can be obtained to potentially aid treatment decisions. This new technology could, therefore, become a platform for more effective surgery and introducing precision medicine to Neurosurgery. Methods: Molecular analysis was performed using Raman spectroscopy and Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry (REIMS). These systems were first developed for use in brain surgery. A single centre prospective observational study of both modalities was designed involving a total of 75 patients undergoing craniotomy and resection of a range of brain tumours. A neuronavigation system was used to register spectral readings in 3D space. Precise intraoperative readings from different tumour zones were taken and compared to matched core biopsy samples verified by routine histopathology. Results: Multivariate statistics including PCA/LDA analysis was used to analyse the spectra obtained and compare these to the histological data. The systems identified normal versus tumour tissue, tumour grade, tumour type, tumour density and tissue status of key markers of gliomagenesis. Conclusions: The work in this thesis provides proof of concept that useful real time intraoperative spectroscopy is possible. It can integrate well with the current operating room setup to provide key information which could potentially enhance surgical safety and effectiveness in increasing extent of resection. The ability to group tissue samples with respect to genomic data opens up the possibility of using this information during surgery to speed up treatment, escalate/deescalate surgery in specific phenotypic groups to introduce precision medicine to Neurosurgery.
Reconciliation: An Emerging Type of Ignorance Amongst Settlers in Ontario
Creators: name: Clayton, Veronica
Publisher: name: My University

description: This research project was conducted to critically analyze Ontario’s newest version of the Native Studies 1999/2000 courses - the Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9 to 12: First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Studies, 2019. Ontario’s curricula have previously omitted and misrepresented Indigenous peoples, and their historical and contemporary realities. Through a conceptual framework of ignorance, the study investigated the developmental process of the curriculum, and its content to understand how the curriculum will educate Ontario’s student population. The data was collected through a thematic analysis of the Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9 to 12: First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Studies, 2019 document, and of supporting media articles. The research project’s findings suggest a new emerging type of ignorance among settlers regarding the concept of reconciliation. The findings demonstrate that an oversimplified conceptualization of reconciliation is at the base of the new emerging type of ignorance. Reconciliation is simplified to renewing relationships between Indigenous peoples and settlers, while disassociating reconciliation from settler colonialism and critiques. Based on Wolfe’s (2006) logic of elimination, I theorize the presence of the new emerging type of ignorance regarding reconciliation is motivated to erase settler colonialism in the contemporary world. Finally, the research project concludes with recommendations for curriculum development and future research. Keywords: Indigenous peoples, settlers, Ontario, education, curriculum, ignorance, reconciliation.
Beyond Time: A Simplified Interpretation of the Emergent Time Hypothesis
Creators: name: Yildirim, Kubilay
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Abstract:

This whitepaper presents a simplified synthesis of the "Beyond Time" series, which challenges the conventional notion of time as a fundamental dimension of reality. It proposes that time is an emergent property arising from the dynamics of physical systems constrained by two boundary conditions: the speed of light (c) and absolute zero temperature (0 K). Through a conceptual reframing of time as a rate of distinguishable state transitions, the paper invites the reader to explore a reality where time does not exist as an independent axis but emerges from change itself. This approach bridges physics, philosophy, and metaphysics, offering a structured path toward understanding the deeper informational structure of the universe.

description: We discuss the results of the covariant spectator quark model for the several $γ^\ast N \to N^\ast$ transitions, where $N$ is the nucleon and $N^\ast$ a nucleon excitation. More specifically, we present predictions for the form factors and transition amplitudes associated with the resonances $N(1440)1/2^+$, $N(1535)1/2^-$, $N(1520)3/2^-$, $Δ(1620)1/2^-$ and $N(1650)1/2^-$. The estimates based on valence quark degrees of freedom are compared with the available data, particularly with the recent Jefferson Lab data at low and large momentum transfer ($Q^2$). In general, the estimates are in good agreement with the empirical data for $Q^2 >2$ GeV$^2$, with a few exceptions. The results are discussed in terms of the role of the valence quarks and the meson cloud excitations for the different resonances $N^\ast$. We also review our results for the resonance $Δ(1232)3/2^+$ and discuss the relevance of the pion cloud component for the magnetic dipole form factor and the electric and Coulomb quadrupole form factors.

description: We investigate 1D exoplanetary distributions using a novel analysis algorithm based on the continuous wavelet transform. The analysis pipeline includes an estimation of the wavelet transform of the probability density function (p.d.f.) without pre-binning, use of optimized wavelets, a rigorous significance testing of the patterns revealed in the p.d.f., and an optimized minimum-noise reconstruction of the p.d.f. via matching pursuit iterations. In the distribution of orbital periods, $P$, our analysis revealed a narrow subfamily of exoplanets within the broad family of "warm jupiters", or massive giants with $P\gtrsim 300$~d, which are often deemed to be related with the iceline accumulation in a protoplanetary disk. We detected a p.d.f. pattern that represents an upturn followed by an overshooting peak spanning $P\sim 300-600$~d, right beyond the "period valley". It is separated from the other planets by p.d.f. concavities from both sides. It has at least two-sigma significance. In the distribution of planet radii, $R$, and using the California Kepler Survey sample properly cleaned, we confirm the hints of a bimodality with two peaks about $R=1.3 R_\oplus$ and $R=2.4 R_\oplus$, and the "evaporation valley" between them. However, we obtain just a modest significance for this pattern, two-sigma only at the best. Besides, our follow-up application of the Hartigan & Hartigan dip test for unimodality returns $3$ per cent false alarm probability (merely $2.2$-sigma significance), contrary to $0.14$ per cent (or $3.2$-sigma), as claimed by Fulton et al. (2017).

Accounting for outcome and process measures in dynamic decision-making tasks through model calibration

description: Computational models of learning and the theories they represent are often validated by calibrating them to human data on decision outcomes. However, only a few models explain the process by which these decision outcomes are reached. We argue that models of learning should be able to reflect the process through which the decision outcomes are reached, and validating a model on the process is likely to help simultaneously explain both the process as well as the decision outcome. To demonstrate the proposed validation, we use a large dataset from the Technion Prediction Tournament and an existing Instance-based Learning model. We present two ways of calibrating the model’s parameters to human data: on an outcome measure and on a process measure. In agreement with our expectations, we find that calibrating the model on the process measure helps to explain both the process and outcome measures compared to calibrating the model on the outcome measure. These results hold when the model is generalized to a different dataset. We discuss implications for explaining the process and the decision outcomes in computational models of learning.

description: Waldbrände und extreme Wetterbedingungen: Am Beispiel von vier Hotspots (Amazonasgebiet, Kalifornien, Mittelmeerraum und boreales Kanada) werden die Ursachen aktueller Waldbrandereignisse untersucht. Neben direkten menschlichen Einflüssen, z.B. durch Landnutzungsänderungen und Feuerbekämpfung, spielen extreme Wetterlagen wie hohe Temperaturen und Dürren eine zentrale Rolle, indem sie wesentlich den Zustand des Brennmaterials beeinflussen. Die Zusammenhänge zwischen der globalen Erwärmung und günstigeren Feuerbedingungen sind durch höhere Verdunstung und trockeneres Brennmaterial in vielen Fällen gegeben. Sie sind aber oft auch, etwa was die Ursachen von Dürren betrifft, zu komplex, um eindeutige Rückschlüsse zu ermöglichen. Projektionen von Klimamodellen zeigen jedenfalls als Folge der globalen Erwärmung in fast allen untersuchten Regionen eine Zunahme von Waldbränden. Forest fires and extreme weather conditions: Based on the example of four wildfire hotspots (Amazon basin, California, Mediterranean basin and boreal Canada), we analyze the causes of recent fire occurrences. Apart from direct anthropogenic influences, such as land-use change and firefighting, extreme weather conditions like high temperatures and droughts play a dominant role by essentially altering the conditions of fuel. Global warming enhances evaporation and dries the fuel at the same time, resulting in more favourable fire conditions. However, the interactions between climate and vegetation as well as the causes of extreme events such as droughts are too complex to allow for unambiguous conclusions in many cases and are not yet fully understood. Still, most climate models project an increase in forest fires owing to global warming in most of the regions investigated.

Überall liest man von Schlagwörtern wie 3D, Immersion oder Spatial-Audio - zum einen in meist stark auf Technik fokussierten Artikeln, zum anderen fast ausschließlich bezogen auf Games und Virtual Reality (VR). Gleichzeitig findet eine gegenläufige Entwicklung statt, indem Filme vermehrt auf Smartphones und Tablets konsumiert und Big-Budget-Produktionen statt im Kino auf Streaming-Plattformen veröffentlicht werden. In diesem Spannungsfeld möchte ich einen Schritt zurückgehen und den klassischen Film betrachten. Wie schafft er es seit seinem Bestehen, den Zuschauer in das Geschehen zu involvieren? Was kann er von den aktuellen Entwicklungen übernehmen oder ist das Medium in der aktuellen Form ein Auslaufmodell? Mit Blick auf das Sounddesign untersuche ich, wie immersive Wirkungen im Film entstehen und warum Klänge im Allgemeinen immersive Eigenschaften besitzen. Dazu führe ich im ersten Kapitel in das unübersichtliche Themenfeld der medialen Immersion ein. Im zweiten Kapitel erarbeitete ich mein Komponentenmodell der klanglichen Immersion (KMKI), ein Analysemodell, mit dem sich immersive Wirkungen im Film untersuchen lassen. Dieses wende ich an diversen Filmbeispielen praktisch an und schaffe außerdem ein theoretisches Fundament, damit das Modell offen für zukünftige Erweiterungen bleibt. Abschließend fasse ich im dritten Kapitel die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zusammen und erkläre anhand meiner praktischen Masterarbeit totalSense meine eigene Herangehensweise, um eine immersive Hörerfahrung zu schaffen.
Understanding the mechanisms regulating SCFA mediated release of anorectic gut hormones
Creators: name: Caengprasath, Natarin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Obesity is a fast-growing epidemic that poses a major challenge to the public health. There is a current lack of safe and effective anti-obesity treatment options, therefore an improved treatment option is critical. Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), produced in the colon via fermentation of non-digestible carbohydrates by gut microbiota, activates FFA2 and FFA3, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that stimulate the release of anorectic gut hormones GLP-1 and PYY. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms stimulating their release are poorly understood. A fundamental mechanism controlling the signalling capacity of GPCRs is via receptor trafficking to diverse cellular compartments such as early endosomes (EE), or very early endosomes (VEE). A subpopulation of VEEs contains the adaptor protein APPL1, essential for driving receptor recycling from the VEE and regulating endosomal G protein signalling. I therefore characterised the signalling pathways exerted by SCFAs in intestinal enteroendocrine cells and colonic organoids and elucidated the trafficking properties of FFA2 that regulate anorectic gut hormone release. In enteroendocrine cells, SCFAs are unable to elicit Gαq/11-signalling but robustly activates Gαi/o signalling which is important for propionate induced GLP-1 secretion. FFA2 undergoes both constitutive and ligand induced internalisation. Following ligand-induced internalisation, FFA2 traffics to the VEE to activate Gαi endosomal signalling that is regulated by APPL1. In addition, by employing high resolution single vesicle imaging, I unveiled propionate-induced FFA2 recycling is APPL1 dependent. I also examined the dependence of receptor internalisation and found that receptor internalisation is critical only for propionate induced- Gαi/o signalling, p38 activation and GLP-1 release, while Gαq/11 signalling occurs from the plasma membrane. Together these findings suggest an important spatial requirement for propionate-mediated activity and uncovers novel mechanisms regulating the release of anorectic gut hormone, GLP-1.

description: High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS) based on the 180 nm HV-CMOS process have been proposed to realize thin, fast and highly integrated pixel sensors. The MuPix7 prototype, fabricated in the commercial AMS H18 process, features a fully integrated on-chip readout, i.e. hit-digitization, zero suppression and data serialization. It is the first fully monolithic HV-CMOS pixel sensor that has been tested for the use in high irradiation environments like HL-LHC. We present results from laboratory and test beam measurements of MuPix7 prototypes irradiated with neutrons (up to $5.0\cdot10^{15}{\,\rm{n}_{\rm{eq}}/cm^2}$) and protons (up to $7.8\cdot 10^{15} \,\rm{protons}/cm^2$) and compare the performance with non-irradiated sensors. Efficiencies well above 90 % at noise rates below 200 Hz per pixel are measured. A time resolution better than 22 ns is measured for all tested settings and sensors, even at the highest irradiation fluences. The data transmission at 1.25 Gbit/s and the on-chip PLL remain fully functional.

description: Einfluss extremer Trockenheit auf Desertifikationsprozesse: Für viele Länder in den ariden, semiariden und trocken-subhumiden Regionen der Erde stellt die Desertifikation (aus dem lat. desertus, die Wüste und facere, machen) ein erhebliches ökologisches, wirtschaftliches und soziales Problem dar. Diese Regionen umfassen etwa 40 % der Landmasse der Erde. Davon sind rund 70% und damit etwa ein Viertel der Landfläche von Desertifikationserscheinungen betroffen oder bedroht. Selbst wenn die aufgeführten Zahlen je nach Schätzung und zugrunde gelegter Definition variieren, unterstreichen sie die Bedeutung der Desertifikation als globales Problem und vermitteln einen Eindruck von den Raumdimensionen, in denen die entsprechenden Prozesse wirksam sind. Klimawandel und Bevölkerungswachstum lassen eine Akzentuierung des Desertifikationsgeschehens für die Zukunft erwarten. Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels insbesondere im Hinblick auf den desertifikationsrelevanten Parameter extreme Trockenheit und seinen Einfluss auf Wasserhaushalt und Wasserverfügbarkeit sowie Vegetation und versucht seine Bedeutung im Hinblick auf eine potenzielle Beschleunigung der Desertifikation aufzuzeigen. Effect of extreme drought on the process of desertification: Desertification, together with its economic and social impacts and side effects, is a major problem in large parts of the world’s drylands. Primarily due to climatic reasons these regions are susceptible to the processes of desertification. Predictions of climate development suggest changes of the two climatic parameters most significant for desertification: temperature and precipitation. Introductory remarks on the definition, distribution, causes and process of desertification are followed by a discussion of the possible effects climate change will have on the frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events, on water budget, and also on vegetation. All of them are either inherent determinants of desertification processes or closely related to them. Regions with already extreme climatic conditions today – i.e. mainly the arid and semi-arid regions – will be among the looser regions, if it turns out that there will really be an acceleration of desertification.
The complex Helmholtz operator: a new transform approach
Creators: name: Hauge, Jordan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis we introduce a new transform approach to solving the complex Helmholtz equation in polygonal domains. We show how to retrieve analytical solutions for effective parameters by using Green's identity and strategic choices of particular solutions to the governing equation. We extend this idea to more complicated polygonal domains by deriving a new transform method for arbitrary convex polygons. We derive the transform method by adapting a geometric construction of the unified transform method for Laplace's equation, by using Green's identity and an integral representation for the associated Green's function valid for half-planes. We demonstrate how to use the new transform method on various bounded and unbounded polygonal domains: general rectangle, right isosceles triangle, upper-half plane, channel and quarter plane. We proceed by using the new transform method to obtain new analytical solutions for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the 3ω method. Finally, we demonstrate how we can generalise the new transform method to higher order operators, where we validate the approach by solving problems in unsteady Stokes flow.

description: This paper presents a case of parsimony and generalization in model comparisons. We submitted two versions of the same cognitive model to the Market Entry Competition (MEC), which involved four-person and two-alternative (enter or stay out) games. Our model was designed according to the Instance-Based Learning Theory (IBLT). The two versions of the model assumed the same cognitive principles of decision making and learning in the MEC. The only difference between the two models was the assumption of homogeneity among the four participants: one model assumed homogeneous participants (IBL-same) while the other model assumed heterogeneous participants (IBL-different). The IBL-same model involved three free parameters in total while the IBL-different involved 12 free parameters, i.e., three free parameters for each of the four participants. The IBL-different model outperformed the IBL-same model in the competition, but after exposing the models to a more challenging generalization test (the Technion Prediction Tournament), the IBL-same model outperformed the IBL-different model. Thus, a loser can be a winner depending on the generalization conditions used to compare models. We describe the models and the process by which we reach these conclusions.

description: We report on the identification of a new γ-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy, SDSS J211852.96-073227.5 (hereinafter J2118-0732). The galaxy, at a redshift of 0.26, is associated with a radio source of flat/inverted spectrum at high radio frequencies. The analysis of its optical spectrum obtained in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) revealed a small linewidth of the broad component of the Hβ line (full width at half-maximum = 1585 km s^{-1}), making it a radio-loud NLS1 galaxy -- an intriguing class of active galactic nuclei with exceptional multiwavelength properties. A new γ-ray source centred at J2118-0732 was sporadically detected during 2009--2013 in form of flares by the Fermi-LAT. Our XMM-Newton observations revealed a flat X-ray spectrum described by a simple power law, and a flux variation by a factor of ~2.5 in five months. The source also shows intraday variability in the infrared band. Its broad-band spectral energy distribution can be modelled by emission from a simple one-zone leptonic jet model, and the flux drop from infrared to X-rays in five months can be explained by changes of the jet parameters, though the exact values may be subject to relatively large uncertainties. With the NLS1-blazar composite nucleus, the clear detection of the host galaxy, and the synchronous variations in the multiwavelength fluxes, J2118-0732 provides a new perspective on the formation and evolution of relativistic jets under the regime of relatively small black hole masses and high accretion rates.

Simulation of the electromechanical properties of carbon nanotube polymer composites
Creators: name: Albuquerque Da Silva Matos, Miguel Matos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: The use of nanomaterials enables the development of new materials with tailored properties and coupled responses in different physical domains. In particular, the superlative combination of properties displayed by carbon nanotubes makes them an extremely interesting filler in polymer composites. The progress of industrial applications is, however, limited by the quality of predictions of their behaviour. This work develops multiscale simulation methods capable of predicting the electromechanical response of carbon nanotube polymer composites. Finite element simulations able to capture the main mechanisms responsible for the conductivity of carbon nanotube polymer composites and their sensitivity to deformation are presented. The electrical contact between nanotubes is represented by a new element which accounts for quantum tunnelling effects and its sensitivity to deformation. Monte Carlo analyses allow for retrieving the mechanical, electrical and coupled response of these materials. These simulations are used to successfully train an artificial neural network that predicts the bulk conductivity of these composites at negligible computational cost. Similarly, predictive multiscale models of the multiaxial electro-mechanical response are developed, enabling the simulation of the strain-sensing response of components of arbitrary shape subject to a non-uniform, multiaxial strain field. Savings in computational time of more than six orders of magnitude are obtained. The effects of non-uniform concentration of carbon nanotubes on the bulk conductivity are explored using realistic three-dimensional representative volume elements. These are generated from measured two-dimensional concentration maps and a feature size parameter. The models are used to predict the influence of inter-nanotube distance on the bulk conductivity, compared with the effects of applying an electric field during the curing process. This work develops a series of modelling techniques that contribute to a better understanding of the electromechanical response of carbon nanotube composites. These methods may support the design and optimisation of applications in conductive and self-sensing structures.
Violence entre partenaires intimes et maisons d’hébergement : Qu’en est-il des femmes trans*?
Creators: name: Asselin-Mailloux, Vanessa

description: Le Transgender Survey 2015 réalisé aux États-Unis auprès de plus de 27 000 personnes trans* a recensé que 54% des personnes trans* auraient vécu de la violence entre partenaires intimes au cours de leur vie (James et collab., 2016, p. 15) et des études canadiennes démontrent des niveaux similaires de violence, ce qui prouve la nécessité d’avoir des services inclusifs des personnes trans en matière de violence conjugale. Cependant, historiquement, les femmes trans* ont été exclues des mouvements féministes, incluant au sein des maisons d’hébergement pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale. Un examen de la portée (scoping review) fut réalisé afin de répondre à la question suivante : comment pourrait-on améliorer les services offerts aux femmes trans* en maison d’hébergement pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale en Ontario français et au Québec? Ce mémoire aborde ainsi les particularités de l’intersection sexisme-cisgenrisme (ou transphobie) en contexte de violence conjugale (ou violence entre partenaires intimes). Les discriminations vécues par les femmes trans* avant, pendant et après les processus d’admission dans les maisons d’hébergement pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale ont été documentées. Les conclusions de l’étude démontrent que les femmes trans*sont perçues comme n’étant pas des « vraies » femmes à cause de leur biologie, de leur socialisation, de leurs présumés privilèges masculins et sont même vues comme une menace à la sécurité des femmes cisgenres dans certains milieux féministes (Baril, 2014; 2015). Ces arguments sont déconstruits à l’aide des théories et des propos de théoricien.ne.s trans*, plus particulièrement à l’aide du cadre théorique trans/féministe, issu du militantisme des femmes trans*. Ce mémoire souhaite ainsi offrir des pistes de réflexions aux maisons d’hébergement pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale afin que ces milieux deviennent plus inclusifs à l’égard des femmes trans*. Mots-clés : trans/féminisme; francophonie; femmes trans*; transmisogynie; violence conjugale; violence entre partenaires intimes; théories trans; examen de la portée.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We consider a model that accounts for the smallness of neutrino masses through the linear seesaw mechanism and employs a $Δ(27)$ family symmetry to address the flavour problem. The model is predictive in the leptonic sector and faces constraints from Lepton Flavour Violation processes, namely $μ\to e γ$, which indicate a range for the Right-Handed neutrino mass.

Extreme Dürren in China

description: Extreme Dürren in China: Trockenzeiten treten in China fast jährlich auf, jedoch sind extreme Dürren mit hoher Intensität, langer Dauer und großer Ausdehnung weit seltener. Seit Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts sind auf Basis verschiedener meteorologischer Indexe etwa 5-6 extreme Dürren in verschiedenen Regionen Chinas beobachtet worden. Diese Extremereignisse wurden in ihrer Entstehung, Dauer und Intensität meist durch atmosphärische Anomalien stark begünstigt. Der Einfluss von El Niño, der Madden-Julian-Oszillation und den süd- und ostasiatischen Monsunen ist für die meisten ausgeprägten Trockenzeiten in China nachgewiesen. Für die letzten 50 Jahre ist kein eindeutig signifikanter Trend in der Intensität, Dauer oder Ausdehnung von extremen Dürren erkennbar. Auf Basis von globalen und regionalen Klimamodellen wird eine Zunahme der Intensität bis zum Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts wahrscheinlicher. Diese Prognose beinhaltet jedoch viele Ungenauigkeiten und sollte mit Vorsicht betrachtet werden. Die Auswirkungen von Dürren, wie Ernteausfälle, wirtschaftliche Verluste und Wassermangel, werden sich in den kommenden Jahrzehnten vermutlich noch verschlimmern. Um sich daran effektiv anzupassen, muss China weitgehende Maßnahmen ergreifen. Hierfür erscheint eine nachhaltige Optimierung des Wasserressourcenmanagements als unbedingt erforderlich. Extreme droughts in China: Dry conditions occur in China almost every year, but extreme droughts with high intensity, long duration and large extent are far more rare. Based on various meteorological indices, about 5-6 extreme droughts have been observed in various regions of China since the mid-20th century. These extreme events were strongly favored in their formation, duration and intensity by atmospheric anomalies. The influence of El Niño, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and the South and East Asian Monsoons has been proven for most of the pronounced drought events in China. For the last 50 years, no significant trend in the intensity, duration or extent of extreme droughts has been detected. On the basis of global and regional climate models, an increase in intensity is more likely until the end of the 21st century. However, this projection involves high uncertainties and should be considered with caution. The effects of drought, such as crop failures, economic losses and water shortages, are likely to worsen over the coming decades. In order to adapt effectively, China needs to take far-reaching measures. For this a sustainable optimization of China’s water resource management seems to be absolutely necessary
A generic dynamic control task for behavioral research and education

description: Recent research in behavioral sciences presents strong evidence of poor human understanding for dynamic systems. Computer-based dynamic control tasks have an important potential for helping behavioral scientists advance research that investigates reasons for poor understanding and for helping students understand how dynamic systems work. In this paper, we introduce a simulation called Dynamic Stocks and Flows (DSF) that portrays the basic building blocks of dynamic systems: an accumulation; an inflow and outflow determined by an environment; and an inflow and outflow determined by a decision maker. In DSF, decision makers control the accumulation to a goal level by making repeated inflow and outflow decisions. We provide details of an experiment conducted with DSF that highlight some problems people face in controlling a dynamic system with different kinds of environmental inflow and outflow functions. DSF is flexible enough to represent dynamic systems with continuous or discrete accumulations, and with real-time or event-driven decision-making. We suggest that these and other features in DSF make it a good research and educational tool.
