description: Herbert was the Grandpa of Sara Hargreaves, a Menston resident. He was born in 1897 and known as Bert to his friends. Herbert joined the Army in 1914 and lied about his age! He was aged 17 at the time and had a Manchester terrier who followed him everywhere! The family home was in East Grinstead, Sussex.

He joined the Royal Flying Corps (Sussex Regiment) where he learned to fly Bristol fighter aeroplanes and became a Captain. After crashing three times, he decided to go back into the army and he was posted to Istanbul. He became a spy and his mission was to find out if the White Russians were on the German side or the British side. He had a forged passport and learned to speak Russian. During his time behind enemy lines, his regiment experienced a severe winter and they were forced to kill and eat their horses. Amazingly, he managed to keep his terrier.

Unfortunately, their mission was compromised so they had to make a hasty escape on a train back to safety. This was the last time Captain Weller saw his dog. He was distressed to see his dog running alongside the train as it was leaving. After his experiences in Russia, he became a Major.

Major Weller survived the First World War and was awarded several medals. During the Second World War, he ran the Leek Home Guards. He died in 1972 and was cremated. There is a memorial stone at Cheddleton Church, Leek.

description: This study uses an experimental design to examine the uncertainty-reducing effect of online dating profiles on initial first-date interactions. Zero-history dyads (N = 108) participated in a brief first meeting in the lab, where they were randomly assigned to either a dating profile (experimental) condition or a no-profile control group. Results indicated that profile viewing had an amplification effect on initial interactions. Profiles strengthened the actor effects of eagerness to communicate before the interaction, disclosure during the interaction, and uncertainty and similarity after the interaction on an individual’s own communication satisfaction with the first date. Profiles also intensified the partner effect of nonverbal affiliation during the interaction on communication satisfaction. Implications for uncertainty reduction theory and profile design are discussed.

description: Electronic Health Records (EHRs) provide vital contextual information to radiologists and other physicians when making a diagnosis. Unfortunately, because a given patient's record may contain hundreds of notes and reports, identifying relevant information within these in the short time typically allotted to a case is very difficult. We propose and evaluate models that extract relevant text snippets from patient records to provide a rough case summary intended to aid physicians considering one or more diagnoses. This is hard because direct supervision (i.e., physician annotations of snippets relevant to specific diagnoses in medical records) is prohibitively expensive to collect at scale. We propose a distantly supervised strategy in which we use groups of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes observed in 'future' records as noisy proxies for 'downstream' diagnoses. Using this we train a transformer-based neural model to perform extractive summarization conditioned on potential diagnoses. This model defines an attention mechanism that is conditioned on potential diagnoses (queries) provided by the diagnosing physician. We train (via distant supervision) and evaluate variants of this model on EHR data from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and MIMIC-III (the latter to facilitate reproducibility). Evaluations performed by radiologists demonstrate that these distantly supervised models yield better extractive summaries than do unsupervised approaches. Such models may aid diagnosis by identifying sentences in past patient reports that are clinically relevant to a potential diagnosis.

description: On the basis of the method of Cartan exterior forms and extended Lie derivatives, a hydrodynamic equation of the Euler type that describes a perfect spin fluid with an intrinsic color charge in an external non-Abelian color field in Riemann-Cartan space is derived from the energy-momentum quasiconservation law. This equation is used to obtain a self-consistent set of equations of motion for a classical test particle with a spin and a color charge in a color field combined with a gravitational field characterized by curvature and torsion. The resulting equations generalize the Wong equation, which describes the motion of a particle with an isospin, and the Tamm-Good and Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equations, which describe the evolution of a charged-particle spin in an electromagnetic field.

description: Generating multiple-choice questions is known to improvestudents’ critical thinking and deep learning. Visualizing relationships between concepts enhances meaningful learning, students’ ability to relate new concepts to previously learned concepts. We designed and deployed a collaborative learning process through which students generate multiple-choice questions and represent the prerequisite knowledge structure between questions as visual links in a shared map, using a variation of Concept Maps that we call “QMap.” We conducted a four-month study with 19 undergraduate students. Students sustained voluntary contributions, creating 992 good questions,and drawing 1;255 meaningful links between the questions.Through analyzing self-reports, observations, and usage data, we report on the technical and social design features that led students to sustain their motivation.

description: This paper uses representative farm account data for 1985-2007 to estimate stochastic production frontiers in the form of input distance functions for Danish crop, dairy and pig farms. The objective is to study and compare scale economies for the three farm types. The estimated technical efficiency is relatively constant over time for all three farm types, but the elasticity of scale differs. Although the size of all farm types has increased considerably during the last 20 years, more than 95 % of the crop farms and 85 % of the dairy and pig farms are still below the estimated technical optimal scale of production. The results support the hypothesis that the restrictions concerning the amalgamation of farms and the purchase of farm land have seriously prevented Danish farmers, and especially cash crop farmers, from taking full advantage of scale economies.

In einem ausführlichen Literaturreview werden Kriterien zur Gestal-tung von SISs aus allgemeinen Web-Designguidelines und Literatur über Informationssysteme zusammengetragen. Des Weiteren werden Aspekte wie die Informationsarchitektur, Interaktionsästhetik und Corporate Design behandelt. Einen zentralen Teil der Arbeit nehmen die Evaluierung und der Vergleich von sieben bestehenden SISs ein. Zuerst werden diese unabhängig voneinander evaluiert, um in einem weiteren Schritt gemeinsam mit Experten aus dem Bereich User Experience verglichen zu werden. Hierfür wurde ein Workshop veranstaltet, in welchem die Systeme den Experten vorgestellt wurden und auf ihre Stärken und Schwächen abgeklopft wurden. Auf diesen Einblicken basierend, wurde ein Konzept für ein Dashboard entworfen, welches die wichtigsten Informationen für Studierende auf der Startseite eines SIS bereitstellen soll. Dieses wurde anschließend mit Studierenden in Usertests evaluiert, um herauszufinden ob es für den realen Studienalltag nützlich ist.
description: This Thesis is about various design aspects of Student Information Systems (SIS) and how to improve them. In an in-depth literature review, design criteria for SISs were elaborated based on web-design guidelines and literature about information systems. Furthermore, aspects of information architecture, interaction aesthetics and corporate design are tackled. A significant part of this work is the evaluation and comparison of seven existing SISs. First, they are independently evaluated, and the results are discussed. During the second step, we organized a workshop with experts in the field of User Experience. The experts were introduced to the systems so they could identify strengths and weaknesses. Based on their insights, we designed the concept for a dashboard, which provides the most important information for students on the landing page of the SIS. In the final step, the concept was evaluated with different students to find out if and how they would benefit from it.

description: The control of animal diseases is an issue of particular interest in animal production chains. Because of their direct impact on production, animal diseases generate income shortfalls for farmers. In some cases, diseases may also have lead to human health problems and undermine market access conditions. Because of these potential negative impacts, some diseases are regulated. But for many communicable diseases, much latitude is given to individual control of the disease by farmers. In the case of a communicable disease, individual management therefore generates an externality, as individual decisions have an impact on the level of risk exposure of other farms to the disease. Thus, the collective result of individual management may differ from the collective expectations. This gap can be reduced by collective actions. The aim of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework for the study of collective management of animal diseases, which will provide management tools to collective managers of animal health. The development of this conceptual framework rests on three steps. We first discuss the means to model the individual decisions of farmer in regard to animal diseases. Then it should take into account the interaction between the epidemiology of the disease and the individual decisions of farmers, by the coupling of epidemiologic and economic models. Finally, collective management tools are introduced in these models in order to test incentives schemes for horizontal coordination. Finally, collective actions are introduced in these models, in order to test devices for horizontal coordination (management of prevalence between farms).

description: Compton scattering from the proton was investigated at s=6.9 (GeV/c)**2 and \t=-4.0 (GeV/c)**2 via polarization transfer from circularly polarized incident photons. The longitudinal and transverse components of the recoil proton polarization were measured. The results are in excellent agreement with a prediction based on a reaction mechanism in which the photon interacts with a single quark carrying the spin of the proton and in disagreement with a prediction of pQCD based on a two-gluon exchange mechanism.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The economic consequences of livestock epidemics have been long studied for purposes of estimating the costs of the veterinary measures. In this paper, we show that this catastrophic risk may have wide market consequences, and that the risk management systems are quite limited to compensate long term impacts in the European context of growing trade. Through a detailed literature review we present the main developments of the economic literature aiming to highlight the economic consequences of animal epidemics such as Foot and Mouth Disease. We acknowledge that a very few studies have focused on the economic dynamics and on the long run effects occurring after an epidemic disease outbreak. We discuss the appropriateness of a dynamic approach to reveal that the de-structuring of the livestock markets affects the production dynamics as well as the whole agricultural sphere, whose financial implications remain poorly studied. In addition, we highlight the importance of taking into account these phenomena for the development of risk management systems, and we emphasize the growing interest of a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium approach.

description: We show that high energy scattering is a statistical process essentially similar to reaction-diffusion in a system made of a finite number of particles. The Balitsky-JIMWLK equations correspond to the time evolution law for the particle density. The squared strong coupling constant plays the role of the minimum particle density. Discreteness is related to the finite number of partons one may observe in a given event and has a sizeable effect on physical observables. Using general tools developed recently in statistical physics, we derive the universal terms in the rapidity dependence of the saturation scale and the scaling form of the amplitude, which come as the leading terms in a large rapidity and small coupling expansion.

He was a prominent member of Menston Parish Church Choir and on the 22nd June 1911, he was presented by the Vicar of Menston, the Reverend E.R. Dawe, with a beautiful prayer book in commemoration of his fine singing of the solo in the Coronation Anthem in Menston Parish Church on that date.

He went to France on his 20th birthday, December 10 1917. He was captured May 27 1918 at Rancourt. (Rancourt is a small village on the main N17 road between Bapaume and Peronne) .

As a POW he worked behind enemy lines and was injured there by our own fire. He died on August 20 1918 from a broken leg and a haemorrhage. John died in a German field hospital for officers, formerly a convent. He was buried the next day.

He is interred in the British and Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery at St. Erme. The reference is: NAYLOR J R United Kingdom Private 67275 Machine Gun Corps (Infantry) 20/08/1918 B. 4.

We report chemical characterizations, electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity over a broad temperature range as a function of an applied magnetic field up to 6 T. We show that specific features appear on the magneto thermal transport properties different in these materials from those found in single crystals and polycrystalline samples. We propose that two vortex regimes can be distinguished in the mixed phase, - due to the intrinsic microstructure. We calculate the viscosity, entropy and figure of merit of the samples.

description: Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), which aims at measuring heart activities without any contact, has great potential in many applications (e.g., remote healthcare). Existing end-to-end rPPG and heart rate (HR) measurement methods from facial videos are vulnerable to the less-constrained scenarios (e.g., with head movement and bad illumination). In this letter, we explore the reason why existing end-to-end networks perform poorly in challenging conditions and establish a strong end-to-end baseline (AutoHR) for remote HR measurement with neural architecture search (NAS). The proposed method includes three parts: 1) a powerful searched backbone with novel Temporal Difference Convolution (TDC), intending to capture intrinsic rPPG-aware clues between frames; 2) a hybrid loss function considering constraints from both time and frequency domains; and 3) spatio-temporal data augmentation strategies for better representation learning. Comprehensive experiments are performed on three benchmark datasets to show our superior performance on both intra- and cross-dataset testing.

We limit ourselves to single-shot gates without conditional feed-forward. We derive our results by using determinants of Vandermonde-type over a polynomial basis which is closely related to the well-known Jacobi polynomials.

description: We study the magnetic oscillations (MO) in 2D materials with a buckled honeycomb lattice, considering a perpendicular electric and magnetic field. At zero temperature the MO consist of the sum of four sawtooth oscillations, with two unique frequencies and phases. The values of these frequencies depend on the Fermi energy and electric field, which in turn determine the condition for a beating phenomenon in the MO. We analyse the temperature effect in the MO by considering its local corrections over each magnetization peak, given by Fermi-Dirac like functions. We show that the width of these functions is related to the minimum temperature necessary to observe the spin and valley properties in the MO. In particular, we find that in order to observe the spin splitting, the width must be lower than the MO phase difference. Likewise, in order to observe valley mixing effects, the width must be lower than the MO period. We also show that at high temperatures, all the maxima and minima in the MO are shift to a constant value, in which case we obtain a simple expression for the MO and its envelope. The results obtained show unique features in the MO in 2D materials, given by the interplay between the valley and spin.
Joy, fear, vulnerability and trust in groups that lead : a storied account and call to action
Creators: name: MacIver, Kenneth A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This first-person, narrative and autobiographical-based study is intended to contribute to better understanding of building trust in groups that lead in service sector organizations. The groups in question include committees, teams, task forces, and executive groups. Success in building trust comes when a group cycles through six elements of a systems model. The model emerged from evidence I gathered from a population of fifty-seven research participants, most of whom dedicated at least eight hours to this work. The first three elements in the model are: planning and initiating trust, undertaking activities to earn trust, and creating a trust space. The trust space is created through the internalization of openness, deep listening, common passion and purpose, and shared responsibility. The pivotal fourth element involves an individual group member making a 'leap of faith'. The leap of faith requires exposure to vulnerability, risk-taking and uncertainty. The leap results in successful trust-building only where the group in question embraces the leap, thereby shifting vulnerability from the individual to the group. Groups that achieve group trust have 'fields' or auras radiating amongst group members: group identity, group bond and psychological safety. They also evidence the states of group success, cooperation and connection. Thus group members can go from the fear associated with vulnerability to the joy and release that come with success. With success, there is also an increased likelihood of group members participating in peak group experiences: generative dialogue, synergy, high performance, fusion of horizons, flow and common consciousness. The functions and roles taken on by trusting groups that lead include: performing leadership functions, contributing to a climate of trust in a larger organization, and providing individual leaders with support. I contemplate the model potentially applying to any type of service sector group that leads while noting that the model is not exclusive; there may well be other models and approaches to building trust in groups. The limitations in my study's research population mean that the only groups that I can directly postulate from the research as likely to build trust through the leap of faith are groups made up of knowledge workers.

description: The TFIIS N-terminal domain (TND) is a crucial protein scaffold that selectively recognizes disordered ligands, known as TND-interacting motifs (TIMs). Understanding the specific mechanisms of TND-TIM interactions is essential for deciphering the transcription machinery. Here, we investigated the conformational ensembles of the TND-TIM interaction module using molecular dynamics simulations. The study revealed that the experimental structures of TND-TIM complexes, including P75-PogZ and P75-IWS1, maintained stable conformations during microsecond-long simulations, even when the linked proteins between TND and TIM were removed or when TIM was phosphorylated. Conversely, both P75-ASK and HRP2-IWS1, prepared based on the structure of P75-IWS1, are unstable in simulations; for example, the helix-1 of TIMs shifts from their initial binding site on TND. However, phosphorylation enhances TND-TIM interactions and rapidly stabilizes the complex structure. A general rule for phosphorylation regulation of TND-TIM interactions is identified: the phosphoryl group of TIM forms hydrogen bonds with the positively charged side chains of TND residues, promoting dynamic correlation between TND and the Ser-containing acidic linker of TIM, and enhancing residue-residue interactions among helix-1 and FXGF motif of TIM with TND. These phosphorylation-induced changes resulted in a higher affinity between TND and TIM. Our study provides insights into the phosphorylation-regulated TND-TIM interaction module at an atomic level, facilitating a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of protein interactome assembly in transcription machinery.

description: The supersymmetry invariant integrable structure of two-dimensional superconformal field theory is considered. The classical limit of the corresponding infinite family of integrals of motion (IM) coincide with the family of IM of SUSY N=1 KdV hierarchy. The quantum version of the monodromy matrix, generating quantum IM, associated with the SUSY N=1 KdV is constructed via vertex operator representation of the quantum R-matrix. The possible applications to the perturbed superconformal models are discussed.

description: Generating multiple-choice questions is known to improvestudents’ critical thinking and deep learning. Visualizing relationships between concepts enhances meaningful learning, students’ ability to relate new concepts to previously learned concepts. We designed and deployed a collaborative learning process through which students generate multiple-choice questions and represent the prerequisite knowledge structure between questions as visual links in a shared map, using a variation of Concept Maps that we call “QMap.” We conducted a four-month study with 19 undergraduate students. Students sustained voluntary contributions, creating 992 good questions,and drawing 1;255 meaningful links between the questions.Through analyzing self-reports, observations, and usage data, we report on the technical and social design features that led students to sustain their motivation.

description: Following the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in the La-H system, where for the recently discovered fcc-LaH10 a record critical temperature Tc = 250 K was achieved [Drozdov et al., Nature, 569, 528 (2019) and Somayazulu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 027001 (2019)], we studied the formation of new chemical compounds in the barium-hydrogen system at pressures up to 173 GPa. Using in situ generation of hydrogen from NH3BH3, we synthesized previously unknown superhydride BaH12 with a pseudocubic (fcc) Ba sublattice, which was observed in a wide range of pressures from 75 to 173 GPa in four independent experiments. DFT calculations indicate a close agreement between the theoretical and experimental equations of state. In addition to BaH12, we identified previously known P6/mmm BaH2 and possibly BaH10 and BaH6 as impurities in the samples. Ab initio calculations show that newly discovered semimetallic BaH12 contains H2, H3 molecular units and detached H12 chains. Barium dodecahydride is a unique molecular hydride with metallic conductivity which demonstrates a superconducting transition around 20 K at 140 GPa in agreement with calculations (19-32 K). The interpretation of the multiphase XRD data was possible thanks to the development of new Python scripts for postprocessing the results of evolutionary searches. These scripts help quickly identify the theoretical structures that explain the experimental data in the best way, among thousands of candidates.

description: Most of the standard proofs of the Bell theorem are based on the Kolmogorov axioms of probability theory. We show that these proofs contain mathematical steps that cannot be reconciled with the Kolmogorov axioms. Specifically we demonstrate that these proofs ignore the conclusion of a theorem of Vorob'ev on the consistency of joint distributions. As a consequence Bell's theorem stated in its full generality remains unproven, in particular, for extended parameter spaces that are still objective local and that include instrument parameters that are correlated by both time and instrument settings. Although the Bell theorem correctly rules out certain small classes of hidden variables, for these extended parameter spaces the standard proofs come to a halt. The Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) approach is based on similar fallacious arguments. For this case we are able to present an objective local computer experiment that simulates the experimental test of GHZ performed by Pan, Bouwmeester, Daniell, Weinfurter and Zeilinger and that directly contradicts their claim that Einstein-local elements of reality can neither explain the results of quantum mechanical theory nor their experimental results.

description: The desire to operate robots in unstructured environments, side-by-side with humans, has created a demand for safe and robust sensing skins. Largely inspired by humanskin, the ultimate goal of electronic skins is to measure diverse sensory information, conform to surfaces, and avoid interfering with the natural mechanics of the host oruser. These demands require an alternative approach to conventional sensing electronics, which are typically planar and rigid. Soft sensors fill this gap by employing materialsand substrates that mimic the mechanical properties of living tissues. Their natural compliance makes soft sensors well-suited for a variety of robotic applications includingobject manipulation, tactile sensing, and human-robot interaction. However, stretchable sensors face unique challenges that require the development of novel fabrication techniques and methods to handle the non-linear characteristics of soft materials. Designing larger robotic systems for robust interaction is additionally constrained by the limited availability of sensing modes. For these reasons, soft sensors have been largely limited to pressure and strain sensing and not often integrated into larger systems. These challenges not only restrict their functionality, but prevent further potential work towards soft sensors for safe and intelligent interaction. This work introduces three soft sensor designs that expand available soft sensing modes for hybridrobotic systems development. Each approach balances simple fabrication and signal interpretation to explores their use in the context of robotic gripping. First, a biohybrid pneumatic gripper was designed to take advantage of the inherent material compatibility between synthetic biology and soft robotics. Chemical signals in the environment are expressed by the development of fluorescent proteins, which are detected by on-board opto-electronics in the gripper’s strain-limiting layer. This implementationsupports the integration of biological cells and soft robotic materials for advanced chemical sensing. Second, I scale up a technique to fabricate a soft and stretchable electronic skin with commercial IC chips. The combination of stretchable substrate, liquid-metal traces, and IC chips achieves soft sensing skins with on-board processing,communication, and MEMS sensors for the first time. Lastly, I introduce a novel magnetic elastomer composite for deformation sensing. We show practical applications forthis composite as a continuous tactile surface and environmental marker for sub-mm object localization. Taking inspiration from many fields, this thesis work contributesto the diversity of soft sensing technologies to advance the development of complex, robust, and soft interfaces and systems.
