Sicily and Crete

description: Focusing on the Byzantine-Islamic transitions of Sicily and Crete, the aim of this thesis is to contribute to the archaeological debate surrounding the development of both islands between the late 7th and mid-10th century. Material sources have been the primary means of investigation, drawing especially on ceramic evidence, selected small finds, especially coins and lead seals, and relevant examples of built environment, which have encompassed a range of domestic, military, and religious contexts. Original arguments and data-collection have been produced through both revaluating the findings and conclusions of current secondary literature, and by drawing on first-hand studies of unpublished material sources and evidence documented during archive-based studies and field observations. Changing patterns in material culture and settlement organisation, and the modes of administrative and economic interactions between incoming Muslim rulers and pre-existing Byzantine communities inhabiting both islands have been the main fields of enquiry. Although taking a regional perspective, this thesis has been based on key case-study sites, of which Knossos and Heraklion, and Enna and its hinterland, are the principal ones. The Byzantine-Islamic transition of Sicily and Crete might appear as a peripheral topic to the eyes of scholars working in core territories of the Byzantine and Islamic empires. When considered within their actual geographical and cultural contexts, however, both islands stand at the virtual and spatial centre of the military and ideological confrontation between Byzantium and the Dar al-Islam. Placed at the crossroads between Constantinople, Cordoba, Mecca, and Baghdad, both islands acted as sociocultural and economic lynchpins between the western and eastern halves of the Mediterranean world, but also as maritime frontier-lands located at the fringe between the worlds of Islam and Byzantium.

description: The critical impact of epitaxial stress on the stabilization of the ferroelectric orthorhombic phase of hafnia is proved. Epitaxial bilayers of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 and La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 electrodes were grown on a set of single crystalline oxide 001-oriented, cubic or pseudocubic setting, substrates with lattice parameter in the 3.71 - 4.21 A range. The lattice strain of the La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 electrode, determined by the lattice mismatch with the substrate, is critical in the stabilization of the orthorhombic phase of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2. On La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 electrodes tensile strained most of the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 film is orthorhombic, whereas the monoclinic phase is favored when La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 is relaxed or compressively strained. Therefore, the Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 films on TbScO3 and GdScO3 substrates present substantially enhanced ferroelectric polarization in comparison to films on other substrates, including the commonly used SrTiO3. The capability of having epitaxial doped HfO2 films with controlled phase and polarization is of major interest for a better understanding of the ferroelectric properties and paves the way for fabrication of ferroelectric devices based on nanometric HfO2 films.

description: A growing body of work shows that many problems in fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in machine learning systems are rooted in decisions surrounding the data collection and annotation process. In spite of its fundamental nature however, data collection remains an overlooked part of the machine learning (ML) pipeline. In this paper, we argue that a new specialization should be formed within ML that is focused on methodologies for data collection and annotation: efforts that require institutional frameworks and procedures. Specifically for sociocultural data, parallels can be drawn from archives and libraries. Archives are the longest standing communal effort to gather human information and archive scholars have already developed the language and procedures to address and discuss many challenges pertaining to data collection such as consent, power, inclusivity, transparency, and ethics & privacy. We discuss these five key approaches in document collection practices in archives that can inform data collection in sociocultural ML. By showing data collection practices from another field, we encourage ML research to be more cognizant and systematic in data collection and draw from interdisciplinary expertise.

description: Using large-scale structure as a probe of cosmology and structure formation has become increasingly popular with the current and upcoming large deep surveys. Guided by numerical simulations and theoretical prediction, analysis of large-scale structure in observations provides complementary information and crosschecks of cosmological parameters from other probes. These analysis also help us to achieve a deeper understanding of structure formation and even the process of galaxy formation. In Chapter 2, I present a weak lensing detection of filamentary structures in the cosmic web, combining data from the Kilo-Degree Survey, the Red Cluster Sequence Lensing Survey and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey. This work has been accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics as Xia et al. (2020b). In Chapter 3, I describe cosmological analysis using SDSS cluster catalogue and DES Y1 cluster catalogue to constrain f(R) gravity. Our analysis reveals a degeneracy between richness-mass relation and the f(R) halo mass function, and I provide a forecast for constraining f(R) gravity using cluster catalogue from future survey such as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). In Chapter 4, I present the first report of spinning filaments measured in the Millennium dark matter cosmological simulations. This work has been published by Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society as Xia et al. (2020a).

description: Starting from weakly bound Feshbach molecules, we demonstrate a two-photon pathway to the dipolar ground state of bi-alkali molecules that involves only singlet-to-singlet optical transitions. This pathway eliminates the search for a suitable intermediate state with sufficient singlet-triplet mixing and the exploration of its hyperfine structure, as is typical for pathways starting from triplet dominated Feshbach molecules. By selecting a Feshbach state with a stretched singlet hyperfine component and controlling the polarization of the excitation laser, we assure coupling to only a single hyperfine component of the $\textrm{A}^{1}Σ^{+}$ excited potential, even if the hyperfine structure is not resolved. Similarly, we address a stretched hyperfine component of the $\textrm{X}^{1}Σ^{+}$ rovibrational ground state, and therefore an ideal three level system is established. We demonstrate this pathway with ${}^{6}\textrm{Li}{}^{40}\textrm{K}$ molecules. By exploring deeply bound states of the $\textrm{A}^{1}Σ^{+}$ potential, we are able to obtain large and balanced Rabi frequencies for both transitions. This method can be applied to other molecular species.

description: We present new theoretical results on the spectrum of the quantum field theory of the Double Sine Gordon model. This non-integrable model displays different varieties of kink excitations and bound states thereof. Their mass can be obtained by using a semiclassical expression of the matrix elements of the local fields. In certain regions of the coupling-constants space the semiclassical method provides a picture which is complementary to the one of the Form Factor Perturbation Theory, since the two techniques give information about the mass of different types of excitations. In other regions the two methods are comparable, since they describe the same kind of particles. Furthermore, the semiclassical picture is particularly suited to describe the phenomenon of false vacuum decay, and it also accounts in a natural way the presence of resonance states and the occurrence of a phase transition.

description: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known endocrine disruptor with several effects on mammalian systems and has been linked to diseases, such as cancer. Bisphenol S (BPS) emerged as a likely alternative to BPA in industrial production. Despite being well studied and exhibiting BPA-like toxic capacity, many effects are still being elucidated. The blood coagulation system is well controlled in an effort to minimize blood loss. To our knowledge, no study reported actions of bisphenols in this system. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of bisphenols on blood coagulation. Zebrafish were used to measure bleeding time. To assess possible mechanisms, platelet-rich plasma was incubated with both bisphenols in the presence of arachidonic acid. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) assays were performed in the presence of BPA and BPS. Alignment of human factor VII sequence was compared to zebrafish and docking simulations performed with FVIIa and bisphenols. An extended time was observed in BPA-treated but not BPS-treated animals in bleeding time; in PT, bisphenols showed no effect. APTT was increased in the highest concentration of bisphenols, with no effects in platelet aggregation, indicating interference with factor VII. Protein alignment showed that both proteins have well conserved residues, as those being required for interaction of FVIIa-BPA and FVIIa-BPS complexes, as shown in molecular docking. Taken together, these data show BPA and BPS as capable of interfering with the coagulation process via FVIIa.

description: The least squares method with deep neural networks as function parametrization has been applied to solve certain high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs) successfully; however, its convergence is slow and might not be guaranteed even within a simple class of PDEs. To improve the convergence of the network-based least squares model, we introduce a novel self-paced learning framework, SelectNet, which quantifies the difficulty of training samples, treats samples equally in the early stage of training, and slowly explores more challenging samples, e.g., samples with larger residual errors, mimicking the human cognitive process for more efficient learning. In particular, a selection network and the PDE solution network are trained simultaneously; the selection network adaptively weighting the training samples of the solution network achieving the goal of self-paced learning. Numerical examples indicate that the proposed SelectNet model outperforms existing models on the convergence speed and the convergence robustness, especially for low-regularity solutions.

description: Pyroxasulfone induced a low incidence of urinary bladder tumors in male rats in a 2-year bioassay at 1000 and 2000 ppm, with occasional urinary calculi. No increased incidence of tumors of any tissue occurred in female rats or in mice of either gender. We performed three short-term studies to evaluate early development of pyroxasulfone-induced urinary crystals and urothelial cytotoxicity with consequent regenerative proliferation. First, male rats were treated with dietary 50, 1000 or 2000 ppm pyroxasulfone for 1, 3 or 7 days. The urothelium was examined by light and scanning electron microscopy (LM, SEM) and bromodeoxyuridine labeling index (BrdU LI). In two other studies, male rats were treated with dietary 20 000 ppm pyroxasulfone for 1 week. Urine collected at various times of day was examined by SEM and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) or by LM, SEM, EDS, and infrared spectroscopy (IFS). Urinary crystals were present at various time points. EDS and IFS showed some contained calcium; others contained organic matter. Cytotoxicity was detected by SEM as cellular swelling, craters, and necrosis and by LM as cellular hypertrophy. Increased cell proliferation was detected by LM (hyperplasia), SEM (piling up of round cells), and by increased BrdU LI. There was no evidence of increased apoptosis. These findings support a mode of action for pyroxasulfone-associated bladder tumors in male rats involving formation of urinary crystals leading to urothelial cytotoxicity and regenerative proliferation. This is a high dose phenomenon, therefore, pyroxasulfone is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans at exposure levels that do not cause crystals with subsequent calculi formation in the urinary tract.

description: In this paper we analyse the indirect effects of the boom in horticultural exports in Senegal on child schooling. The export boom has caused a dramatic increase in female off-farm wage employment, which led to increased female bargaining power in the household. We investigate the causal effect of female wage income on primary school enrolment. We develop a collective household model with endogenous bargaining power to show that, if women have higher preferences for schooling than men, the impact of female wage income on school enrolment will be the result of a positive income effect, a negative labour substitution effect and a positive empowerment effect. We address the question empirically using original household survey data from Senegal. We use different econometric techniques and show that female off-farm wage income has a positive effect on primary school enrolment, and that the effect is equally large for girls and boys. Our results imply that the horticultural export boom in Senegal has indirectly contributed to the second and third Millennium Development Goals of universal primary education and elimination of gender disparities in primary education.

We present a brief overview of the large-scale DFT code Conquest, which is capable of modelling such large systems, and discuss approaches to the generation of consistent, well-converged pseudo-atomic basis sets which will allow such large scale calculations. We present tests of these basis sets for a variety of materials, comparing to fully converged plane wave results using the same pseudopotentials and grids.

description: Tobacco products contain thousands of chemicals, including addictive and toxic chemicals. We utilized in silico toxicology tools to predict in a validation test and in a separate screening test, the mutagenic potential of chemicals reported in tobacco products and tobacco smoke. Different publicly available (quantitative) structure–activity relationship (Q)SAR software platforms were used in this study. The models were validated against 900 chemicals relevant to tobacco for which experimental Ames mutagenicity data are available from public sources. The predictive performance of the individual and combined (Q)SAR models was evaluated using various performance metrics. All the (Q)SAR models represented >95% of the tobacco chemical space indicating a high potential for screening tobacco products. All the models performed well and predicted mutagens and nonmutagens with 75–95% accuracy, 66–94% sensitivity and 73–97% specificity. Subsequently, in a screening test, a combination of complementary SAR-based and QSAR-based models was used to predict the mutagenicity of 6820 chemicals catalogued in tobacco products and/or tobacco smoke. More than 1200 chemicals identified in tobacco products are predicted to have mutagenic potential, with 900 potential mutagens in tobacco smoke. This research demonstrates the validity of in silico (Q)SAR tools to make mutagenicity predictions for chemicals in tobacco products and/or tobacco smoke, and suggest they hold utility as screening tools for hazard identification to inform tobacco regulatory science.

description: Frankincense from Boswellia papyrifera forest (BPF) is a traded commodity used in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and chemical industries. Ethiopia is an important producer of frankincense, but the resource is under continuous degradation and requires conservation. We applied a contingent valuation to assess rural households’ willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to contribute labor (WTCL) for BPF conservation. Next to the bid, WTP is influenced most by income, education, and WTCL by family labor and gender of the household head. A household is willing to pay at least US$ 4.86 or contribute 7.17 labor days per year, which amounts to US$ 6.64 at per capita daily income. This suggests using per capita daily income rather than market wage rates could result in convergence in response asymmetry of labor and cash payment vehicles. The potential local demand for conservation of BPF could be mobilized effectively with complementary policy interventions aimed at sustainable use and poverty reduction.

description: Private standards are increasingly governing international food trade, but little is known about the implications for developing countries. The objective of the study is to provide evidence in the ongoing debate on standards as barrier or catalyst for developing countries’ export. We use the Peruvian fresh asparagus export sector as a case study and provide empirical panel data evidence on the effects of certification to private food standards on export volumes of firms. Our dataset on the transactions of 567 export firms from 1993 to 2011 allows us to take export dynamics and time trends into account, as well as to keep country and sector specific effects constant. In our empirical strategy, we first use simple OLS and ignore firm-specific unobservable effects and dynamic export patterns. We then account for export persistence, as well as company fixed effects and finally, use System-GMM estimators to address potential reversed causality issues. These approaches represent substantial methodological improvements compared with previous studies on the trade effects of private standards. The empirical innovation is crucial for accurate impact estimation, as results indicate that certification to standards has a positive effect on the export volumes of companies, but that the significant effect dwindles as soon as unobserved firm heterogeneity and export persistency are properly controlled for. Additional studies with large data availabilities are needed to further disentangle the effect and confirm the case study results.

description: Supersymmetric models with sub-TeV charginos and sleptons have been a candidate for the origin of the long-standing discrepancy in the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2). By gathering all the available LHC Run 2 results, we investigate the latest LHC constraints on models that explain the anomaly by their chargino contribution to the muon g-2. It is shown that the parameter regions where sleptons are lighter than charginos are strongly disfavored. In contrast, we find that the models with $m_{\tildeμ_{\mathrm L}}\gtrsim m_{{\tildeχ}^{\pm}_1}$ are still widely allowed, where the lighter chargino dominantly decays into a W-boson and a neutralino.

Bulk Polycrystalline Ceria Doped Al$_2$O$_3$ and YAG Ceramics for High-Power Density Laser-Driven Solid-State White Lighting: Effects of Crystallinity and Extreme Temperatures

description: Here we develop and characterize high thermal conductivity/high thermal shock resistant bulk Ce doped Al2O3 and propose it as a new phosphor converting capping layer for high-powered/high-brightness solid-state white lighting (SSWL). The bulk, dense Ce:Al2O3 ceramics have a 0.5 at.% Ce:Al concentration (significantly higher than the equilibrium solubility limit), and were produced using a simultaneous solid-state reactive Current Activated Pressure-Assisted Densification (CAPAD) approach. Ce:Al2O3 exhibits a broadband emission from 400-600nm, which encompasses the entire blue and green portions of the visible spectrum when pumped with ultra-violet (UV) light that is now commercially available in UV light emitting devices (LED) and laser diodes (LD). These broadband phosphors can be used in the commonly employed scheme of mixing with other UV converting capping layers that emit red light to produce white light. Alternatively, they can be used in a novel composite down converter approach that ensures improved thermal-mechanical properties of the converting phosphor capping layer. In this configuration Ce:Al2O3 is used with proven phosphor conversion materials such as Ce:YAG as an active encapsulant or as a capping layer to produce SSWL with an improved bandwidth in the blue portion of the visible spectrum. In order to study the effect of crystallinity on the Ce PL emission, we synthesize Ce:YAG ceramics using high-pressure CAPAD at moderate temperatures to obtain varying crystallinity (amorphous through fully -crystalline). We investigate the PL characteristics of Ce:Al2O3 and Ce:YAG from 295K to 4K, revealing unique crystal field effects from the matrix on the Ce-dopants. The unique PL properties in conjunction with the superior thermal-mechanical properties of Ce:Al2O3 can be used in high-powered/high-brightness integrated devices based on high-efficiency UV-LD that do not suffer

description: Due to the steady reduction of nature sites in urbanised regions, nature restoration projects are now a focal point of public interest. Policy-makers are required to balance public preferences for nature sites, with the high costs of nature restoration projects. Landscape preferences are, in general, positively correlated with ecological preferences. However this relationship is far from straightforward. Past studies show that different factors, such as personal, site-specific and spatial characteristics, influence preferences, while at the same time, little is known about the relative importance of these factors. This article proposes a conceptual approach for gaining insights into preference heterogeneity, in the context of stated preference environmental valuation studies. We conduct a choice experiment at the Drongengoed (Belgium); an afforested heathland with a diversified mosaic of natural habitats. The experiment determines public preferences towards nature restoration scenarios and illustrates the public’s willingness-to-pay for a change from the current state to a scenario with less coniferous trees, higher biodiversity and good maintaining of accessibility. Area-specific and socio-demographic characteristics are controlled for and affect the preferences for certain types of nature restoration scenarios. Preference heterogeneity is also observed for most of the choice attributes, suggesting that more sophisticated modelling methods are needed.

Soft-Collinear Messengers: A New Mode in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

description: It is argued that soft-collinear effective theory for processes involving both soft and collinear partons, such as exclusive B-meson decays, should include a new mode in addition to soft and collinear fields. These "soft-collinear messengers" can interact with both soft and collinear particles without taking them far off-shell. They thus can communicate between the soft and collinear sectors of the theory. The relevance of the new mode is demonstrated with an explicit example, and the formalism incorporating the corresponding quark and gluon fields into the effective Lagrangian is developed.

description: We have conducted the first systematic search for interday variability in a large sample of extragalactic radio sources at 15 GHz. From the sample of 1158 radio-selected blazars monitored over a $\sim$10 year span by the Owens Valley Radio Observatory 40-m telescope, we identified 20 sources exhibiting significant flux density variations on 4-day timescales. The sky distribution of the variable sources is strongly dependent on the line-of-sight Galactic H$α$ intensities from the Wisconsin H$α$ Mapper Survey, demonstrating the contribution of interstellar scintillation (ISS) to their interday variability. 21% of sources observed through sight-lines with H$α$ intensities larger than 10 rayleighs exhibit significant ISS persistent over the $\sim$10 year period. The fraction of scintillators is potentially larger when considering less significant variables missed by our selection criteria, due to ISS intermittency. This study demonstrates that ISS is still important at 15 GHz, particularly through strongly scattered sight-lines of the Galaxy. Of the 20 most significant variables, 11 are observed through the Orion-Eridanus superbubble, photoionized by hot stars of the Orion OB1 association. The high-energy neutrino source TXS0506$+$056 is observed through this region, so ISS must be considered in any interpretation of its short-term radio variability. J0616$-$1041 appears to exhibit large $\sim$20% interday flux density variations, comparable in magnitude to that of the very rare class of extreme, intrahour scintillators that includes PKS0405$-$385, J1819$+$3845 and PKS1257$-$326; this needs to be confirmed by higher cadence follow-up observations.
