description: Abstract Background The challenges of chronic disease self-management in multimorbidity are well-known. Shippee’s Cumulative Complexity Model provides useful insights on burden and capacity factors affecting healthcare engagement and outcomes. This model reflects patient experience, but healthcare providers are reported to have a limited understanding of these concepts. Understanding burden and capacity is important for clinicians, since they can influence these factors both positively and negatively. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of healthcare providers using burden and capacity frameworks previously used only in patient studies. Methods Participants were twelve nursing and allied health providers providing chronic disease self-management support in low-income primary care settings. We used written vignettes, constructed from interviews with multimorbid patients at the same health centres, to explore how clinicians understood burden and capacity. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Analysis was by the framework method, using Normalisation Process Theory to explore burden and the Theory of Patient Capacity to explore capacity. Results The framework analysis categories fitted the data well. All participants clearly understood capacity and were highly conscious of social (e.g. income, family demands), and psychological (e.g. cognitive, mental health) factors, in influencing engagement with healthcare. Not all clinicians recognised the term ‘treatment burden’, but the concept that it represented was familiar, with participants relating it both to specific treatment demands and to healthcare system deficiencies. Financial resources, health literacy and mental health were considered to have the biggest impact on capacity. Interaction between these factors and health system barriers (leading to increased burden) was a common and challenging occurrence that clinicians struggled to deal with. Conclusions The ability of health professionals to recognise burden and capacity has been questioned, but participants in this study displayed a level of understanding comparable to the patient literature. Many of the challenges identified were related to health system issues, which participants felt powerless to address. Despite their awareness of burden and capacity, health providers continued to operate within a single-disease model, likely to increase burden. These findings have implications for health system organisation, particularly the need for alternative models of care in multimorbidity.

description: We present a search for semileptonic B decays to the charmed baryon Lambda_c+ based on 420 fb-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II $e^+e^-$ storage rings. By fully reconstructing the recoiling B in a hadronic decay mode, we reduce non-B backgrounds and determine the flavor of the signal B. We statistically correct the flavor for the effect of the B0 mixing. We obtain a 90% confidence level upper limit of BF(Bbar --> Lambda_c+ X l- nubar)/BF(Bbar --> Lambda_c+ X) < 3.5 %.

description: The objective of this study is to evaluate complex dynamics involved in implementing electronic health information exchange for public health reporting at a state health department, and to identify policy implications to inform similar implementations. Qualitative data were collected over eight months from seven experts at NYS DOH who implemented web services and protocols for querying, receipt, and validation of electronic data supplied by regional health information organizations. Extensive project documentation also was collected. During group meetings experts described the implementation process and created reference modes and causal diagrams that the evaluation team used to build a preliminary model. System dynamics modeling techniques were applied iteratively to build causal loop diagrams representing the implementation. Validation of the diagrams was done iteratively by individual experts followed by group review online, and through confirmatory review of documents a! nd artifacts. Three casual loop diagrams captured well-recognized system dynamics: Sliding Goals, Project Rework, and Maturity of Resources. The findings were associated with specific policies that address funding, leadership, ensuring expertise, planning for rework, communication, and timeline management. This evaluation illustrates the value of a qualitative approach to system dynamics modeling. As a tool for strategic thought about complicated and intense processes, qualitative models can be produced with fewer resources than a full simulation, yet still provide insights that are timely and relevant. System dynamics techniques clarified endogenous and exogenous factors at play in a highly complex technology implementation, which may inform other states engaged in implementing HIE supported by federal HITECH legislation

description: Since 1945, the aeronautics industry has been a key sector of the Canadian economy, with a notable world presence in the civilian aircraft market, defence program contracting and advanced technology. This doctoral thesis studies the creation and development of the military-industrial aviation complex that developed across the country between 1909 and 1949, and, in particular, the relationship between Canada's federal, military and industrial policies towards its aviation industry. British decisions in 1915-18, and the institutional links between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force during the interwar period, led to the issuing of British manufacturing contracts in Canada which resulted in an infusion of capital and a transfer of aircraft technology from one of the world's leading aviation industries. This transfer resulted in the establishment of a Canadian aviation industry, with British and, later, American aircraft built under licence. As a result, Canada became the world's fourth largest air power and a major player within the North American defence sphere during the Second World War through its aeronautical production capabilities, an important strategic position it continues to hold today.

The effect of stirred mill operation on particles breakage mechanism and their morphological features
Creators: name: Reem, Adel Roufail
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Stirred milling is a grinding tool that is used extensively for mineral liberation, in order to achieve successful downstream processing such as flotation or leaching. The focus of this research is to understand the effect of different operating parameters on particle breakage mechanism. Operating parameters could be summarized as stress intensity on the particles which are varied by changing the mill’s agitator speed, and different ground material properties such as extreme hard/low density minerals like quartz versus soft/high density minerals like galena. Grinding performance is assessed by analysing particle size reduction and energy consumption. Breakage mechanism is evaluated using the state of the art morphological analysis and liberation. Finally, theoretical evaluation of particles flow, types of forces and energy distribution across the mill are investigated using Discrete Element Modelling (DEM). It is observed that breakage mechanisms are affected by the type of mineral and stress intensities (agitator speed) in the mill. For example, galena, the soft/high density mineral, reaches its grinding limit very fast at high agitator speed and specific energy consumption increases exponentially with the increase of the agitator speed. On the other hand, for quartz, the hard/low density mineral, the breakage rate is very slow at low agitator speed and the specific energy consumption increases linearly with the increase of the agitator speed. Fracture mechanism of the particles is also a function of the agitator speed and type of mineral. At high agitator speed, galena fractures mostly along the grain boundaries, whereas quartz breaks across the grains, which is abrasion. The morphology observation is confirmed by the DEM model, which conveyed that at higher agitator speed, the normal forces were higher than tangential forces on the galena particles compared to the ceramic grinding media particles. The core of this research is the morphology analysis, which is a novel approach to studying particle breakage mechanisms. More work is recommended in the field of morphology with other types of minerals to confirm the findings of this research. 3D liberation analysis was introduced in this research; a correlation to the conventional liberation methodology would be a major addition to the industry.

description: We study, by means of the stabilizer formalism, a quantum error correcting code which is alternative to the standard block codes since it embeds a qubit into a qudit. The code exploits the non-commutative geometry of discrete phase space to protect the qubit against both amplitude and phase errors. The performance of such code is evaluated on Weyl channels by means of the entanglement fidelity as function of the error probability. A comparison with standard block codes, like five and seven qubit stabilizer codes, shows its superiority.

description: Introduction: Special concerns often arise when medical students are themselves the subjects of education research. A recently completed large, multi-center randomized controlled trial of computer-assisted learning modules for surgical clerks provided the opportunity to explore the perceived level of risk of studies where medical students serve as human subjects by reporting on: 1) the response of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) at seven institutions to the same study protocol; and 2) the thoughts and feelings of students across study sites about being research subjects. Methods: From July 2009 to August 2010, all third-year medical students at seven collaborating institutions were eligible to participate. Patterns of IRB review of the same protocol were compared. Participation burden was calculated in terms of the time spent interacting with the modules. Focus groups were conducted with medical students at each site. Transcripts were coded by three independent reviewers and analyzed using Atlas.ti. Results: The IRBs at the seven participating institutions granted full (n=1), expedited (n=4), or exempt (n=2) review of the WISE Trial protocol. 995 (73% of those eligible) consented to participate, and 207 (20%) of these students completed all outcome measures. The average time to complete the computer modules and associated measures was 175 min. Common themes in focus groups with participant students included the desire to contribute to medical education research, the absence of coercion to consent, and the low-risk nature of the research. Discussion: Our findings demonstrate that risk assessment and the extent of review utilized for medical education research vary among IRBs. Despite variability in the perception of risk implied by differing IRB requirements, students themselves felt education research was low risk and did not consider themselves to be vulnerable. The vast majority of eligible medical students were willing to participate as research subjects. Participants acknowledged the time demands of their participation and were readily able to withdraw when those burdens became unsustainable.
Supersymmetric AdS vacua and separation of scales

description: The moduli space of the supersymmetric massive IIA AdS4xS2(B4) vacua, where S2(B4) is a two-sphere bundle over a four-dimensional Kaehler-Einstein base B4, includes three independent parameters which can be thought of as corresponding to the sizes of AdS4, B4 and the S2 fiber. It might therefore be expected that these vacua do not suffer from the absence of scale separation. We show that the independence of the geometric moduli survives flux quantization. However, we uncover an attractor behavior whereby all sizes flow to equality in some neighborhood of spacetime independently of the initial conditions set by the parameters of the solution. This is further confirmed by the study of the ratio of internal to external scalar curvatures. We also show that the asymptotic Kaluza-Klein spectrum of a ten-dimensional massive scalar is governed by a scale of the order of the AdS4 radius. Furthermore we point out that the curvature ratio in supersymmetric IIA AdS4 vacua with rigid SU(3) structure is of order one, indicating the absence of scale separation in this large class of vacua.

Application of the Titius-Bode Rule to the 55 Cancri System: Tentative Prediction of a Possibly Habitable Planet

description: Following the notion that the Titius-Bode rule (TBR) may also be applicable to some extra-solar planetary systems, although this number could be relatively small, it is applied to 55 Cancri, which is a G-type main-sequence star currently known to host five planets. Following a concise computational process, we tentatively identify four new hypothetical planetary positions given as 0.081, 0.41, 1.51 and 2.95 AU from the star. The likelihood that these positions are occupied by real existing planets is significantly enhanced for the positions of 1.51 and 2.95 AU in the view of previous simulations on planet formation and planetary orbital stability. For example, Raymond et al. (2008) [ApJ 689, 478] argued that additional planets would be possible between 55 Cnc f and 55 Cnc d, which would include planets situated at 1.51 and 2.95 AU. If two additional planets are assumed to exist between 55 Cnc f and 55 Cnc d, the deduced domains of stability would be given as 1.3-1.6 and 2.2-3.3 AU. The possible planet near 1.5 AU appears to be located at the outskirts of the stellar habitable zone, which is however notably affected by the stellar parameters as well as the adopted model of circumstellar habitability. We also compute the distance of the next possible outer planet in the 55 Cnc system, which if existing is predicted to be located between 10.9 and 12.2 AU, which is consistent with orbital stability constraints. The inherent statistical significance of the TBR is evaluated following the method by Lynch (2003) [MNRAS 341, 1174]. Yet it is up to future planetary search missions to verify or falsify the applicability of the TBR to the 55 Cnc system, and to attain information on additional planets, if existing.

Deformable prostate registration from MR and TRUS images using surface error driven FEM models
Creators: name: Taquee, Farheen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: TransRectal Ultrasound (TRUS) is used for image guidance during prostate biopsy and for treatment planning of brachytherapy due to low cost and accessibility in operating room. However, tumors have better visibility in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. The fusion of TRUS and MR images of the prostate can aid with the diagnosis and treatment planning for prostate cancer and with post-brachytheraphy quality assurance. We developed a 3D deformable registration method using the segmentations obtained from TRUS and MR images and a biomechanical model that employs stiffness values derived from elastography. The segmented source volume is meshed and a linear finite element model is created for it. This volume is deformed to the target image volume by applying surface forces computed by assuming a negative relative pressure between the non-overlapping and the overlapping regions of the volumes. This pressure drives the model to increase the volume overlap until the surfaces are aligned. We tested our algorithm on prostate surfaces extracted from postoperative MR and TRUS images for 14 patients and pre-operative MR and TRUS images for 4 patients, using a model with elasticity within the range reported in the literature for the prostate. We used three evaluation metrics for validation: the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) (ideally equal to 1.0), the volume change in source surface during registration, and the Target Registration error (TRE) defined as the mean distance between landmarks such as urethrae and calcifications. For post-operative images, we obtained a DSC of 0.96±0.02 and a TRE of 1.5±1.4mm. The change in the volume of the source surface was 1.5±1.4%. For pre-operative images, we obtained the DSC of 0.96±0.01 and a TRE of 1.3±0.8mm. The change in the volume of the source surface was -0.9±0.2%. Our results show that this method is a promising tool for physically-based deformable surface registration. We also used our technique to register ultrasound strain images to free mount histo-pathology images with the goal of correlating cancer with areas of low strain. This was done using relative stiffness values derived from vibroelastography data. We also performed Computed Tomography (CT) and Ultrasound (US) kidney surface registration using this technique.
Quantum spin Hamiltonians for the SU(2)_k WZW model

description: We propose to use null vectors in conformal field theories to derive model Hamiltonians of quantum spin chains and corresponding ground state wave function(s). The approach is quite general, and we illustrate it by constructing a family of Hamiltonians whose ground states are the chiral correlators of the SU(2)_k WZW model for integer values of the level k. The simplest example corresponds to k=1 and is essentially a nonuniform generalization of the Haldane-Shastry model with long-range exchange couplings. At level k=2, we analyze the model for N spin 1 fields. We find that the Renyi entropy and the two-point spin correlator show, respectively, logarithmic growth and algebraic decay. Furthermore, we use the null vectors to derive a set of algebraic, linear equations relating spin correlators within each model. At level k=1, these equations allow us to compute the two-point spin correlators analytically for the finite chain uniform Haldane-Shastry model and to obtain numerical results for the nonuniform case and for higher-point spin correlators in a very simple way and without resorting to Monte Carlo techniques.

description: The Red Studio, premiered by John Snijders on BBC Radio 3 on 6th January 2016
The Red Studio explores two research questions: (1) to what extent is the 19th century practise of ‘preluding’ applicable in music composed today, and (2) how might the genre of the ‘artist’s studio’ painting be transposed into music?
The Red Studio work falls into four large sections, each characterised by a different mode of pianism and each organised around a different compositional system. Each section is preceded by a short prelude or interlude which may be improvised by the pianist but the score also includes composed examples.
This juxtaposition of closed compositional systems and open, fluid connections is perhaps the work’s most striking feature. It demonstrates the difference between composition and improvisation as modes of music-making, and in effect recreating a 19th century piano recital in a condensed version for the 21st century.

title: Nexus analysis of personal branding – a study of academics’ online identities
Creators: name: Knowles, Tuija Kristiina
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: The practice of ‘personal branding’ has increasingly become a prominent feature of many professions, even academia. Previous research on personal branding, especially in marketing and business studies, tends to view it in a positive light, as a route to career advancement, while others have questioned its individualistic focus, claiming that it fails to consider inequalities, societal contexts, and the collaborative nature of communication. At the same time, previous research on academics’ use of online platforms has often focused on specific platforms or genres, or the networks formed. This thesis frames personal branding as a linguistic phenomenon involving continuous identity work. It considers identity construction as a matter of performances taking place through participation in social groups. It uses the notion of ‘literacies’ to shed light on the relationship between language, identity and social practices, and also considers the influence of mediating digital technologies. Mediated discourse analysis provides the theoretical framework for in-depth nexus analysis informed case studies that combine semi-structured interviews and online data collected from websites and different social media platforms to examine the branding practices of three UK academics. Personal branding is seen not as a practice in itself, but as a set of literacies, that is, a set of social practices which are mediated by texts (and other mediational means such as social media sites and digital devices). These professional practices are historically situated and embedded in particular social and cultural practices. Therefore, contrary to what the popular discourse claims, learning personal branding is not about repeating a standard set of steps or exercises. Instead, what is really required is learning the professional practices of the particular community in which one wishes to participate and understanding the ways in which members of the community make their participation in these practices visible online.

description: We show a TeV-scale seesaw model where Majorana neutrino masses, the dark matter mass, and stability of the dark matter can be all originated from the U(1)_{B-L} gauge symmetry. Dirac mass terms for neutrinos are forbidden at the tree level by U(1)_{B-L}, and they are induced at the one-loop level by spontaneous U(1)_{B-L} breaking. The right-handed neutrinos can be naturally at the TeV-scale or below because of the induced Dirac mass terms with loop suppression. Such right-handed neutrinos would be discovered at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). On the other hand, stability of the dark matter is guaranteed without introducing an additional Z_2 symmetry by a remaining global U(1) symmetry after the U(1)_{B-L} breaking. A Dirac fermion Psi_1 or a complex neutral scalar s^0_1 is the dark matter candidate in this model. Since the dark matter (Psi_1 or s^0_1) has its own B-L charge, the invisible decay of the U(1)_{B-L} gauge boson Z' is enhanced. Experimental constraints on the model are considered, and the collider phenomenology at the LHC as well as future linear colliders is discussed briefly.

description: It is important to investigate potential changes in temperature, precipitation and solar radiation for assessing the impacts of future climate change on agricultural production for specific regions. In this study, climate scenarios of precipitation, temperature and solar radiation for the North China Plain (NCP) were constructed in terms of stochastic daily weather sequences. A nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model (NHMM) was used to downscale daily precipitation projections at 32 stations during winter wheat and summer maize growing seasons for a baseline (1966–2005) and a 21st century (2080–2099) A1B scenario, using selected general circulation models (GCMs). A climatological seasonal cycle of regional-averaged daily reanalysis precipitation was used as input to the down-scaling for the baseline simulation; this input was then scaled by the precipitation changes from GCM projections to generate down-scaled stochastic simulations of precipitation in the 21st century. Temperature was generated using a weakly stationary generating process, conditional on precipitation occurrence, with 21st century additive changes taken from the GCMs at the regional scale. Three hypotheses about changes in solar radiation (−20%, 0% and 20%) were made considering the large uncertainty in its future change. The down-scaled simulations exhibit station increases in the mean daily rainfall of 13.9–69.7% in the scenarios driven by the GCM with the projected largest and multi-model mean precipitation increase for the wheat season, with changes of 0.4–29.9% for the maize season. In the scenario driven by the GCM with the largest projected precipitation decrease, the simulated rainfall decreases at all stations, with changes ranging from −24.6 to −0.1% for the wheat and maize seasons, respectively. Temperature increases by about 3.7 ◦C for the wheat season and 3.6 ◦C for the maize season.

description: We present the results of CO (J=1-0) observations towards nine barred spiral galaxies at z=0.08-0.25 using the 45-m telescope at Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO). This survey is the first one specialized for barred spiral galaxies in this redshift range. We detected CO emission from six out of nine galaxies, whose CO luminosity (L_CO') ranges (1.09-10.8)\times10^9 K km s^{-1} pc^2. These are the infrared (IR) dimmest galaxies that have ever been detected in CO at z~0.1 to date. They follow the L_CO'-L_IR relation among local spiral galaxies, Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs), Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) and Sub-millimeter Galaxies (SMGs). Their L_CO' and L_IR are higher than that of local spiral galaxies which have been detected in CO so far, and L_IR/L'_CO, which is a measure of star formation efficiency, is comparable to or slightly higher than that of local ones. This result suggests that these galaxies are forming stars more actively than local spirals galaxies simply because they have more fuel.

Chance Constrained Optimal Power Flow: Risk-Aware Network Control under Uncertainty

description: When uncontrollable resources fluctuate, Optimum Power Flow (OPF), routinely used by the electric power industry to re-dispatch hourly controllable generation (coal, gas and hydro plants) over control areas of transmission networks, can result in grid instability, and, potentially, cascading outages. This risk arises because OPF dispatch is computed without awareness of major uncertainty, in particular fluctuations in renewable output. As a result, grid operation under OPF with renewable variability can lead to frequent conditions where power line flow ratings are significantly exceeded. Such a condition, which is borne by simulations of real grids, would likely resulting in automatic line tripping to protect lines from thermal stress, a risky and undesirable outcome which compromises stability. Smart grid goals include a commitment to large penetration of highly fluctuating renewables, thus calling to reconsider current practices, in particular the use of standard OPF. Our Chance Constrained (CC) OPF corrects the problem and mitigates dangerous renewable fluctuations with minimal changes in the current operational procedure. Assuming availability of a reliable wind forecast parameterizing the distribution function of the uncertain generation, our CC-OPF satisfies all the constraints with high probability while simultaneously minimizing the cost of economic re-dispatch. CC-OPF allows efficient implementation, e.g. solving a typical instance over the 2746-bus Polish network in 20 seconds on a standard laptop.

Functional endemism: population connectivity, shifting baselines, and the scale of human experience

description: Quantifying population connectivity is important for visualizing the spatial and temporal scales that conservation measures act upon. Traditionally, migration based on genetic data has been reported in migrants per generation. However, the temporal scales over which this migration may occur do not necessarily accommodate the scales over which human perturbations occur, leaving the potential for a disconnect between population genetic data and conservation action based on those data. Here, we present a new metric called the “Rule of Memory”, which helps conservation practitioners to interpret “migrants per generation” in the context both of human modified ecosystems and the cultural memory of those doing the modification. Our rule states that clades should be considered functionally endemic regardless of their actual taxonomic designation if the migration between locations is insufficient to maintain a viable population over the timescales of one human generation (20 years). Since larger animals are more likely to be remembered, we quantify the relationship between migrants per human (N) and body mass of the organism in question (M) with the formula N = 10M−1. We then use the coral reef fish Pomacentrus moluccensis to demonstrate the taxonomic and spatial scales over which this rule can be applied. Going beyond minimum viable population literature, this metric assesses the probability that a clade's existence will be forgotten by people throughout its range during a period of extirpation. Because conservation plans are predicated on having well-established baselines, a loss of a species over the range of one human generation evokes the likelihood of that species no longer being recognized as a member of an ecosystem, and thus being excluded in restoration or conservation prioritization.

description: Topophony, premiered in the 2015 Tectonics Festival in Glasgow
Topophony focuses on two research questions: (1) how might improvising soloists be involved in music that also involves a composed score for orchestra, and (2) how might sum and difference tones determine the structure of such a score?
Fox developed an autonomous compositional structure for the orchestral music which connects a series of harmonic spectra and their inversions by sum and difference tones. This structure also accommodates layers of chance operations, so that a spectra from across the work may be deposited in other spectra.
Such a structure can necessarily only be achieved through an extended compositional process and so Fox decided that the role of the improvising musicians should be to propose a different approach to time: to adopt John Stevens's term, a 'spontaneous' composition. The score prescribes no more for them than an instruction that they should not rehearse with the orchestra.
