description: We study the degree to which the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can be used to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity involving one tensor and two scalar fluctuations, focusing on the correlation of one polarization $B$ mode with two temperature modes. In the simplest models of inflation, the tensor-scalar-scalar primordial bispectrum is non-vanishing and is of the same order in slow-roll parameters as the scalar-scalar-scalar bispectrum. We calculate the $\langle BTT\rangle$ correlation arising from a primordial tensor-scalar-scalar bispectrum, and show that constraints from an experiment like CMB-Stage IV using this observable are more than an order of magnitude better than those on the same primordial coupling obtained from temperature measurements alone. We argue that $B$-mode non-Gaussianity opens up an as-yet-unexplored window into the early Universe, demonstrating that significant information on primordial physics remains to be harvested from CMB anisotropies.

subject: NUCLEAR FISSION and FUSION (Nuclear Fission - Other nuclear fission)

description: The Natural Hazards Review project will develop a framework and best practice approach to characterise natural hazards and seek to improve methodologies where current approaches are inefficient. This is to improve energy system infrastructure design and the project is intended to share knowledge of natural hazards across sectors.The project will be completed in three stages. Phase one will focus on a gap analysis. Phase two will look at developing a series of improved methodologies from the gaps identified in phase one, and phase three will demonstrate how to apply these methodologies. Finally, phase 3 will develop a “how to” guide for use by project engineers.

This case study illustrates the appropriate use of the derived methodology for assessing the risks of natural hazards that may arise in the Dounreay area, which is located on the north coast of Scotland. Dounreay is home to onshore nuclear installations and offshore renewables testing facilities.The land in the area near Dounreay is exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards from the sea (specifically from the North Atlantic towards the west and the North Sea towards the east). Thus, Dounreay can be taken to represent both coastal (onshore) and offshore sites.Aspects of four different types of natural hazards are addressed in this case study:Volume 3 — Extreme Wind — onshore effects;Volume 4 — Extreme Precipitation — onshore effects;Volume 6 — Coastal Flooding — offshore effects;Volume 11 — Marine Biological Fouling — offshore effects.

description: This paper examines Syria-Iraq relations in order to explore wider issues of regional politics. It presents an overview of the historical stages in relations between the two countries since their formation, with the aim of using their changing relations as indicators of changes in both regional states and in the regional states system. The paper argues that state formation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has followed a bell-shaped curve, first rising, then declining, and altering, in parallel, the character of the states system. Each stage in Syria-Iraq relations is emblematic of the state of the MENA states system at the time. Syria and Iraq are near ‘siblings’ with key shared experiences. Firstly, their malformed construction under imperialism left behind fragmented ‘artificial’ states with built-in irredentism and powerful trans-state identities. Secondly, both states’ formation advanced under Ba’thist authoritarian regimes via a combination of party-building, oil and war. Then, they also faced similar challenges from US hegemony in the region in the 1990s, albeit responding in quite different ways. Finally, beginning in 2003 in Iraq, with the US invasion, and in 2011 in Syria, with the outbreak of the Syrian Uprising, both states have suffered deconstruction under various combinations of internal revolt and external intervention. Syria and Iraq have again been reduced to weak states suffering more intense trans-state conflict, loss of territorial control and challenges to their borders. This, allied to the penetration of both by trans-state ideology, has placed Syria and Iraq at the epicentre of a widening sectarianism of the whole regional system. This paper seeks to understand the state formation trajectories of Syria and Iraq. It builds on the foundation laid by several classic studies of Syria-Iraq relations, such as Patrick Seale’s (1965) work on the struggle for Syria after early independence, Eberhard Kienle’s Ba’th vs Ba’th (1990), which focused on the Pan-Arab period and Malik Mufti’s Sovereign Creations (1996), which updated the narrative into the period of relative state consolidation. The paper carries the story forward to the current time. The paper is organised in the following sections: 1) It first adumbrates an historical sociology lens for understanding the topic; 2) historic Syria-Iraq relations are then detailed as indicators of the evolution of the states and state system; and 3) Syria-Iraq relations just prior to and during the Arab Uprisings are examined, as iconic of the current condition of the states system.
Hall effect and Fermi surface reconstruction via electron pockets in the high-$T_c$ cuprates

description: The mechanism by which the Fermi surface of high-$T_c$ cuprates undergoes a dramatic change from a large hole-like barrel to small arcs or pockets on entering the pseudogap phase remains a question of fundamental importance. Here we calculate the normal-state Hall coefficient from the resonating-valence-bond spin-liquid model developed by Yang, Rice and Zhang. In this model, reconstruction of the Fermi surface occurs via an intermediate regime where the Fermi surface consists of both hole- and electron-like pockets. We find that the doping $(x)$ dependence of the Hall number transitions from $1+x$ to $x$ over this narrow doping range. At low temperatures, a switch from a downturn to an upturn in the Hall coefficient signals the departure of the electron-like pockets from the Fermi surface.

This case study illustrates the appropriate use of the derived methodology for Hunterston and its coastal infrastructure. Hunterston is located in western Scotland and is the site of energy generation and transmission infrastructure. site was chosen as representative of a coastal site. This case study assesses two different types of natural hazard:•Volume 10 — Space Weather;Volume 11 — Marine Biological Fouling.The location of Hunterston has been selected to illustrate the potential risks caused by these two hazards since this industrialised coastal site has been affected by past biological clogging events and is located at a northern latitude which makes it more likely to observe space weather impacts such as geomagnetic storms. Other natural hazard risks (such as extreme weather or flooding) at this location should still be considered more generally but are not the focus of this case study.
Absence of stable atomic structure in fluorinated graphene

description: Based on the results of first-principles calculations we demonstrate that significant distortion of graphene sheets caused by adsorption of fluorine atoms leads to the formation of metastable patterns for which the next step of fluorination is considerably less energetically favorable. Existence of these stable patterns oriented along the armchair direction makes possible the synthesis of various CFx structures. The combination of strong distortion of the nonfluorinated graphene sheet with the doping caused by the polar nature of C-F bonds reduces the energy cost of migration and the energy of migration barriers, making possible the migration of fluorine atoms on the graphene surface as well as transformation of the shapes of fluorinated areas. The decreasing energy cost of migration with increasing fluorine content also leads to increasing numbers of single fluorine adatoms, which could be the source of magnetic moments.

description: Poorly planned urbanisation can lead to societal challenges as social deprivation, climate change, deteriorating health and increasing pressure on urban nature. Urban ecosystem restoration can contribute to lessen these challenges, e.g. through implementing nature-based solutions (NBS). This presentation was made as part of the online webinar ‘Sustaining cities, Naturally: Urban ecosystem restoration in Europe, China and Latin America’, which took place as an official side-event of the European Week of Regions and Cities 2022 on 13th and 14th October 2023. The webinar was jointly organised by the projects: INTERLACE, CONEXUS, Regreen and CLEARING HOUSE. The webinar illustrated how Horizon 2020 projects support international cooperation in knowledge creation and knowledge exchange between local authorities and researchers to promote urban ecosystem restoration in Europe, China and Latin America and brought together cities, regions and local authorities, city network representatives, policy makers, researchers, civil society and experts on nature-based solutions and urban ecosystem restoration from Europe, China and Latin America.

description: For a prime number $p$ and a number field $k$, let $\tilde{k}$ be the compositum of all $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of $k$. Greenberg's Generalized Conjecture (GGC) claims the pseudo-nullity of the unramified Iwasawa module $X(\tilde{k})$ of $\tilde{k}$. It is known that, when $k$ is an imaginary quadratic field, GGC has a consequence on the Iwasawa invariants associated to $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of $k$. In this paper, we partially generalize it to arbitrary number fields $k$.

description: A known feature of electrically charged Reissner-Nordström-anti-de Sitter planar black holes is that they can become unstable when considered as solutions of Einstein--Yang-Mills theory. The mechanism for this is that the linearized Yang-Mills equations in the background of the Reissner-Nordström (RN) black holes possess a normalizable zero mode, resulting in non-Abelian (nA) magnetic clouds near the horizon. In this work we show that the same pattern may occur also for asymptotically flat RN black holes. Different from the anti-de Sitter case, in the Minkowskian background the prerequisite for the existence of the nA clouds is $i)$ a large enough gauge group and $ii)$ the presence of some extra interaction terms in the matter Lagrangian. To illustrate this mechanism we present two specific examples, one in four and the other in five dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime. In the first case, we augment the usual $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills Lagrangian with higher order (quartic) curvature term, while for the second one we add the Chern-Simons density to the $SO(6)$ Yang-Mills system. In both cases, an Abelian gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken near a RN black hole horizon with the appearance of a condensate of nA gauge fields. In addition to these two examples, we review the corresponding picture for anti-de Sitter black holes. All these solutions are studied both analytically and numerically, existence proofs being provided for nA clouds in the background of RN black holes. The proofs use shooting techniques which are suggested by and in turn offer insights for our numerical methods. They indicate that, for a black hole of given mass, appropriate electric charge values are required to ensure the existence of solutions interpolating desired boundary behavior at the horizons and spatial infinity.

description: This deliverable reports about the outcomes and lessons learnt from the many activities carried out in the first two years of the project with i) the sister project NOVAFERT, funded under the same HORIZON-CL6-2021-ZEROPOLLUTION-01-09 topic as FER-PLAY, and ii) other fellow projects which scope is aligned to FER-PLAY’s one and which results are relevant to our project development. This report is a sequel of D2.4 “Clustering with sister projects: first outcomes”, where we expose our strategy to map fellow projects, identify collaboration opportunities and the first outcomes of these activities.  The FER-PLAY coordination Team created a protocol that allowed to identify 74 fellow and sister projects, and carry out a total of 79 clustering actions: 31 with NOVAFERT (sister project) and 48 with the fellow projects. Moreover, we currently foresee at least other 12 clustering activities from September 2024 to February 2025 (end of the project): 6 with NOVAFERT and 6 with the fellow projects. These activities with fellow and sister projects span from mutually disseminating projects’ results, surveys and announcements of events, to the participation in each other’s surveys, open days, workshops, advisory boards, working groups and general assembly meetings.

A Novel Application of Theoretical Models to Intimate Partner Violence Survivors’ Help-Seeking
Creators: name: Nies, Ashley
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Intimate partner violence
subject: Help-seeking behavior
subject: Theoretical models

description: Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors’ help-seeking is influenced by a complex interplay of barriers and facilitators. This includes both internal and external factors that affect a survivor’s decision to seek and ability to obtain resources. While understanding these factors is crucial to ensuring appropriate care, there is currently no agreed upon, comprehensive framework for capturing IPV survivors’ help-seeking.

Objectives: We seek to answer the question: How can the Three Delays Model (3DM) and the Behavioral Model of Health Services Use (BMHSU), as well as proposed adaptations of these models, provide a framework for understanding barriers and facilitators of IPV survivors’ help-seeking?

Methods: This secondary qualitative analysis was performed on transcripts from nine focus groups obtained as part of a larger study on IPV survivors’ help-seeking as influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative codes representing the theoretical constructs of each model and its adaptation were identified and set a priori, and to maintain a deductive coding approach, no new codes were added throughout data analysis. Manual coding of the transcripts was done by the first author. Once all transcripts were coded, code frequency and code co-occurrence analyses were performed to determine how well the different models mapped onto IPV survivors’ experiences.

Results: Codes from the BMHSU adaptation were applied most often, and codes from the 3DM adaptation were applied least often. The 3DM captured IPV survivors’ barriers to initially accessing care; however, it did not allow for a nuanced understanding of how the care system affected help-seeking. The BMHSU adaptation provided the richest understanding of IPV survivors’ barriers and facilitators to help-seeking with its expanded inclusion of psychosocial factors.

Conclusion: These findings highlight the strengths and limitations of two theoretical models and their adaptations, allowing for a better framework for understanding barriers and facilitators of IPV survivors’ help-seeking. Future research is needed to integrate these models into one comprehensive model for capturing factors contributing to IPV survivors’ help-seeking.

description: Non-local currents and voltages are better able at withstanding the deleterious effects of dephasing than local currents and voltages in nanoscale systems. This hypothesis is known to be true in quantum Hall set-ups. We test this hypothesis in a four terminal quantum spin Hall set up wherein we compare the local resistance measurement with the non-local one. In addition to inelastic scattering induced dephasing we also test resilience of the resistance measurements in the aforesaid set-ups to disorder and spin-flip scattering. We find the axiom that non-local resistance is less affected by the detrimental effects of disorder and dephasing to be in general untrue for quantum spin Hall case. This has important consequences since it has been widely communicated that non-local transport through edge channels in topological insulators will have potential applications in low power information processing.

description: The simplest way to modify gravity is to extend the gravitational sector to include an additional scalar degree of freedom. The most general metric that can be built in such a theory includes disformal terms, so that standard model fields move on a metric which is the sum of the space time metric and a tensor constructed from first derivatives of the scalar. In such a theory gravitational waves and photons can propagate at different speeds, and these can in turn be different from the maximum speed limit for matter particles. In this work we show that disformal couplings can cause charged particles to emit Cherenkov radiation and bremsstrahlung apparently in vacuum, depending on the background evolution of the scalar field. We discuss the implications of this for observations of cosmic rays, and the constraints that arise for models of dark energy with disformal couplings.

description: Aotearoa New Zealand’s elimination strategy was one of the international successes of the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus was, by-and-large, kept at bay for much of that time. A strict “stamp it out, keep it out” approach kept cases numbers and deaths at comparatively very low levels and allowed the country to enjoy extended periods without any virus in the community. Many factors contributed to these extraordinary health outcomes, including: a strict nation-wide lockdown of 7 and a half weeks in the early months; similar periodic regional lockdowns in later stages (including the largest city, Auckland, for over three months in one instance); careful ongoing surveillance and contact tracing; and aggressive tailored measures to isolate and stamp out any community cases that appeared. Generous public support for the government’s actions and high levels of compliance with health measures were also crucial. The question – at law and in public discourse – was whether that border restriction was justified to protect the health and wellbeing of the community within New Zealand. Judicial review proceedings brought by a campaign group of New Zealand diaspora, Grounded Kiwis, eventually lead to that question being decided by the High Court in 'Grounded Kiwis Group Inc v Minister of Health'. Mallon J’s assessment of justifiability of the regime was mixed. In this note we explain the nature of this human rights challenge and the judge’s appraisal of the border quarantine regime. We then offer some reflections on the ruling and the judge’s methodology – especially her analysis of alternative means of allocating scarce spaces in quarantine.
Linear and non-linear thermodynamics of a kinetic heat engine with fast transformations

description: We investigate a kinetic heat engine model constituted by particles enclosed in a box where one side acts as a thermostat and the opposite side is a piston exerting a given pressure. Pressure and temperature are varied in a cyclical protocol of period $τ$ : their relative excursions, $δ$ and $ε$ respectively, constitute the thermodynamic forces dragging the system out-of-equilibrium. The analysis of the entropy production of the system allows to define the conjugated fluxes, which are proportional to the extracted work and the consumed heat. In the limit of small $δ$ and $ε$ the fluxes are linear in the forces through a $τ$-dependent Onsager matrix whose off-diagonal elements satisfy a reciprocal relation. The dynamics of the piston can be approximated, through a coarse-graining procedure, by a Klein-Kramers equation which - in the linear regime - yields analytic expressions for the Onsager coefficients and the entropy production. A study of the efficiency at maximum power shows that the Curzon-Ahlborn formula is always an upper limit which is approached at increasing values of the thermodynamic forces, i.e. outside of the linear regime. In all our analysis the adiabatic limit $τ\to \infty$ and the the small force limit $δ,ε\to 0$ are not directly related.

Coastal flooding is a natural phenomenon which is capable of devastating coastal towns, infrastructure, and regional economies.The UK coastline is one of the longest in Europe and is constantly evolving and shifting over time. It is varied in geography and habitats.The coastline is relatively easily accessible to the UK population; nowhere in the UK is more than 120 km from the coast. A single coastal flooding event can have a widespread impact.

description: A useful simplification of the quasilocalizded charge approximations (QLCA) method to calculate the dispersion relations in strongly coupled Yukawa fluids is discussed. In this simplified version, a simplest possible model radial distribution function, properly related to the thermodynamic properties of the system, is used. The approach demonstrates good agreement with the dispersion relations obtained using the molecular dynamics simulations and the original QLCA in the long-wavelength regime.

The UK is generally an area of low seismic activity. Seismic design may not be considered for facilities that are classed of low importance by stakeholders, where safety or damage are not critical, or thefacilities/contents are not considered sensitive to seismic vibrations. However, small earthquakes occur on a regular basis, and certain structures (e.g. nuclear power plants) require design to withstand earthquakes regardless of the perceived level of threat.The UK is no longer volcanically active but remains subject to the influence of distant volcanic eruptions due to atmospheric dispersion of air-borne erupted fine particulates (ash), which may remain in atmospheric suspension or be deposited at ground level. Geological instability, where there is a loss of ground support, may be caused by natural or man-made hazards.The potential for geological instability is widespread within the UK.
