description: The increase in luminosity during the LHC upgrade programme causes a challenging rise in track multiplicity and hit occupancy in the LHCb detector. In order to mitigate this effect, the use of photon detector hit time information is presented in the context of the Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors. The application of a time gate in the FPGA of the digital readout board for the Upgrade Ia photon detector, which is being installed for LHC Run 3, is described. Data recorded during SPS charged particle beam tests using a 6.25 ns time gate show a reduction of up to a factor of four in asynchronous detector noise compared to the original 25ns readout. A time-walk correction based on the time-over- threshold is proposed. Using the LHCb simulation framework, the intrinsic time resolution of the RICH detectors is demonstrated to be less than 10 ps. This is particularly relevant for the LHCb Upgrade II, which is scheduled for the year 2030 in preparation for a further order- of-magnitude rise in luminosity. Methods of time gating and scaling of the signal amplitude in the RICH reconstruction likelihood maximisation algorithm are presented. The results show that, considering improvements in the time-resolution only, a photon detector with an approximately 50 ps resolution can achieve today’s particle ID performance in the high- luminosity LHC environment. In the second part of this thesis, the first published semiconductor tracker for cosmic-ray muon scattering tomography is presented. The tracker uses silicon strip sensors from the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) with an 80μm pitch. A novel electronic readout system for the sensors is designed, based on a scalable, inexpensive, flexible, FPGA-based solution. A high-precision mechanical structure with integrated cooling is built to align the SCT modules. This alignment is fine-tuned in software, and the tracker performance is compared with a Geant4 simulation. A scattering angle resolution compatible with 1.5 mrad at the 4 GeV average cosmic-ray muon energy is obtained. Data are recorded for plastic, iron and lead samples using 45000 muons. Images are reconstructed using the Angle Statistics Reconstruction algorithm, and demonstrate good contrast between low and high atomic number materials.

description: Soil-borne Fusarium wilt disease causes damage to certain crops, but crop rotation may be an effective management strategy for this pest. Soil microbes may play an important role in this strategy, but the response of the soil microbial community to crop rotation is unclear. In a field experiment, we used high-throughput sequencing to study the effects of banana rotation with one of four other crops (pepper, sugarcane, wax gourd and pumpkin) or continuous cultivation of banana as a single crop on soil microbial community. Compared with monocropping, all crop rotation strategies led to a decrease in the incidence of Fusarium wilt of banana, while an increase in banana yields. The main bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria (24.96%), Acidobacteria (21.25%), Gemmatimonadetes (12.98%), and the fungal phyla was Ascomycota (72.54%), across the soil. These four crop rotation treatments also increased bacterial richness and the relative abundance of Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria, while reducing the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Parcubacteria, Cyanobacteria and Fusarium. Redundancy analysis showed that soil pH, organic matter and available phosphorus were the main factors affecting the composition of bacterial and fungal communities. Overall, we show that crop rotation can inhibit banana wilt and change soil microbial community composition.

description: Entangled photon pairs -- discrete light quanta that exhibit non-classical correlations -- play a crucial role in quantum information science (for example in demonstrations of quantum non-locality and quantum cryptography). At the macroscopic optical field level non-classical correlations can also be important, as in the case of squeezed light, entangled light beams and teleportation of continuous quantum variables. Here we use stimulated parametric down-conversion to study entangled states of light that bridge the gap between discrete and macroscopic optical quantum correlations. We demonstrate experimentally the onset of laser-like action for entangled photons. This entanglement structure holds great promise in quantum information science where there is a strong demand for entangled states of increasing complexity.

description: Digital embedded systems in safety-critical cyber-physical-systems (CPSs) require high levels of resilience and robustness against different fault classes. In recent years, self-healing concepts based on biological physiology have received attention for the design and implementation of reliable systems. However, many of these approaches have not been architected from the outset with safety in mind, nor have they been targeted for the safety-related automation industry where the significant need exists. This study presents a new self-healing hardware architecture inspired by integrating biological concepts, fault tolerance techniques, and IEC 61131-3 operational schematics to facilitate adaption in automation and critical infrastructure. The proposed architecture is organised in two levels: the critical functions layer used for providing the intended service of the application and the healing layer that continuously monitors the correct execution of that application and generates health syndromes to heal any failure occurrence inside the functions layer. Finally, two industrial applications have been mapped on this architecture to date, and the authors believe the nexus of its concepts can positively impact the next generation of critical CPSs in industrial automation.

description: As the aviation industry expands, consuming oil reserves, generating carbon dioxide gas and adding to environmental concerns, there is an increasing need for drag reduction technology. The ability to maintain a laminar flow promises significant reductions in drag, with economic and environmental benefits. Whilst development of flow control technology has gained interest, few studies investigate the impacts that uncertainty, in flow properties, can have on flow stability. Inclusion of uncertainty, inherent in all physical systems, facilitates a more realistic analysis, and is therefore central to this research. To this end, we study the stability of stochastic shear flows, and adopt a framework based upon the Wiener Chaos expansion for efficient numerical computations. We explore the stability of stochastic Poiseuille, Couette and Blasius boundary layer type base flows, presenting stochastic results for both the modal and non modal problem, contrasting with the deterministic case and identifying the responsible flow characteristics. From a numerical perspective we show that the Wiener Chaos expansion offers a highly efficient framework for the study of relatively low dimensional stochastic flow problems, whilst Monte Carlo methods remain superior in higher dimensions. Further, we demonstrate that a Gaussian auto-covariance provides a suitable model for the stochasticity present in typical wind tunnel tests, at least in the case of a Blasius boundary layer. From a physical perspective we demonstrate that it is neither the number of inflection points in a defect, nor the input variance attributed to a defect, that influences the variance in stability characteristics for Poiseuille flow, but the shape/symmetry of the defect. Conversely, we show the symmetry of defects to be less important in the case of the Blasius boundary layer, where we find that defects which increase curvature in the vicinity of the critical point generally reduce stability. In addition, we show that defects which enhance gradients in the outer regions of a boundary layer can excite centre modes with the potential to significantly impact neutral curves. Such effects can lead to the development of an additional lobe at lower wave-numbers, can be related to jet flows, and can significantly reduce the critical Reynolds number.

description: We consider Mityuk's function and radius which have been proposed in \cite{Mit} as generalizations of the reduced modulus and conformal radius to the cases of multiply connected domains. We present a numerical method to compute Mityuk's function and radius for canonical domains that consist of the unit disk with circular/radial slits. Our method is based on the boundary integral equation with the generalized Neumann kernel. Special attention is given to the validation of the theoretical results on the existence of critical points and the boundary behavior of Mityuk's radius.

description: We report the detection of 1WGAJ1226.9+3332 as an arcminute scale extended X-ray source with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The Chandra observation and R and K band imaging strongly support the identification of 1WGAJ1226.9+3332 as a high redshift cluster of galaxies, most probably at z=0.85 +- 0.15, with an inferred temperature kT =10 (+4;-3) keV and an unabsorbed luminosity (in a r=120" aperture) of 1.3 (+0.16;-0.14) x 1e45 erg/s (0.5-10 keV). This indication of redshift is also supported by the K and R band imaging, and is in agreement with the spectroscopic redshift of 0.89 found by Ebeling et al. (2001). The surface brightness profile is consistent with a beta-model with beta=0.770 +- 0.025, rc=(18.1 +-0.9)" (corresponding to 101 +- 5 kpc at z=0.89), and S(0)=1.02 +- 0.08 counts/arcsec**2. 1WGAJ1226.9+3332 was selected as an extreme X-ray loud source with FX/FV>60; this selection method, thanks to the large area sampled, seems to be a highly efficient method for finding luminous high z clusters of galaxies.

description: An ageing population is demanding more of healthcare services worldwide, particularly for long-term conditions. In the UK, the challenge of limited healthcare service resources and the influence of the Equality Act on services have increasingly led to the consideration of people’s access to community rehabilitation services. These present a potential opportunity for Inclusive Design. The literature suggests that Inclusive Design and its associated tools have been widely applied to the accessibility of buildings and public transport, as well as consumer products and services, but there is little evidence of their application to healthcare services. A review of the literature highlights the importance of improving people’s access to community-based rehabilitation by providing care at or closer to home which has become an increasingly prevalent option to meet the healthcare demand for long-term conditions in an ageing population. Therefore, this thesis investigates how Inclusive Design can be applied to healthcare delivery services to improve patients’ experiences of accessing these services. It accomplished this through two case studies: community-based rehabilitation services of back pain and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The case studies involved online surveys and interviews with healthcare professionals and patients in understanding the patients’ care journeys and challenges in accessing these services. The impact of services demands on patients’ capability and their access to services was analysed using an Inclusive Design tool, the Exclusion Calculator. An inclusive approach integrating tools and procedures was summarised to facilitate the understanding of patients’ capability-related needs both for the recipients of care and for the providers of care. This research provides a novel contribution by filling the gaps in the literature on the application of Inclusive Design to healthcare delivery services, i.e., community-based rehabilitation. It demonstrates that an Inclusive Design approach can be used to improve people’s access to healthcare services and the tools applied can make a useful contribution to understanding service provision and hence service improvement. The Inclusive Design approach focuses on identifying the demands that healthcare services make of their users’ capability and in estimating services’ exclusion. The process of applying Inclusive Design in this research may be used to improve other healthcare services.

description: Critical phenomena arise ubiquitously in various context of physics, from condensed matter, high energy physics, cosmology, to biological systems, and consist of slow and long-distance fluctuations near a phase transition or critical point. Usually, these phenomena are associated with the softening of a massive mode. Here we show that a novel, non-Hermitian-induced mechanism of critical phenomena that do not fall into this class can arise in the steady state of generic driven-dissipative many-body systems with coupled binary order parameters such as exciton-polariton condensates and driven-dissipative Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential. The criticality of this ``critical exceptional point'' is attributed to the coalescence of the collective eigenmodes that convert all the thermal-and-dissipative-noise activated fluctuations to the Goldstone mode, leading to anomalously giant phase fluctuations that diverge at spatial dimensions $d\le 4$. Our dynamic renormalization group analysis shows that this gives rise to a strong-coupling fixed point at dimensions as high as $d<8$ associated with a new universality class beyond the classification by Hohenberg and Halperin, indicating how anomalously strong the many-body corrections are at this point. We find that this anomalous enhancement of many-body correlation is due to the appearance of a sound mode at the critical exceptional point despite the system's dissipative character.

description: We propose a manifestly covariant framework for causal set dynamics. The framework is based on a structure, dubbed covtree, which is a partial order on certain sets of finite, unlabeled causal sets. We show that every infinite path in covtree corresponds to at least one infinite, unlabeled causal set. We show that transition probabilities for a classical random walk on covtree induce a classical measure on the $σ$-algebra generated by the stem sets.

description: A model of public cost sharing of non-industrial private forestry investment is proposed to describe substitution between non-industrial private financing of investments and public investment assistance. Substitution depends in the curvature condition of forest investment function on forest stock. When the second order investment effects are close to zero or when they do not exist, the funding substitution will not take place. Simultaneous econometric model for non-industrial private and public funding with forest incomes, forest income taxes, interest rates, investment scale, and market wood price expectations as exogenous variables is estimated. The model estimation with Finnish regional data in period 1983-2000 rejects the substitution alternative. A 10% increase in non-industrial private investment funding increases public funding demand with same rate but a 10% increase of public funds increases the private funds supply 2.4%. Significant income effects are found only for non-industrial private funding. In northern Finland scale effects are large for public financial assistance. Interest rate and price expectation effects are large for public financial assistance. Interest rate and price expectations effects are negative.

description: The challenge of contemporary art, unlike in art history, has only recently been identified in sociology. Furthermore, an overly philosophical orientation, has undermined sociological expla- nations of artistic production. To remedy this, I propose a sociology of exhibitions. This entails a shift of focus from the elusive subject matter of art towards the tangible exhibition, and the construction of a new framework: the exhibitionary system, which also stands for the physical, institutional, and network environment of exhibitions. The central question in the sociology of exhibitions is to explain how the exhibitionary system shapes artistic production. The answer was sought by observing exhibition making in the Chinese exhibitionary system, from which quantitative data about 1,525 exhibitions, held in 43 exhibition spaces between 2010 and 2016, were also collected. I argue that the exhibition context shapes the physical basis of individual artworks and the construction of an artist’s oeuvre. Through the contextualised creation of artworks for public viewing, artists aim to raise their visibility, which is crucial for artists’ career prospects and symbolic consecration. An artist’s visibility is, however, constrained by where she exhibits and with whom she co-exhibits. My method for measuring visibility reveals its binary nature, divided along a singular dimension and a collective dimension. Yet no binary division between the non- profit and for-profit is found within the exhibitionary system with regards to the selection of artists. Rather, both sectors contribute to a dual selection of marketable artists. A model of professional autonomy, which reconciles “art and the market” on the level of practices and awareness, prevails in the exhibitionary system. The sociology of exhibitions has solved persistent theoretical problems in the sociology of art. My empirical findings give rise to new research questions. Finally, I have offered a dialogue between studies of non-western and western cases within the same framework.

description: We observed 1E 1207.4--5209, a neutron star in the center of the supernova remnant PKS 1209--51/52, with the ACIS detector aboard the Chandra X-ray observatory and detected two absorption features in the source spectrum. The features are centered near 0.7 keV and 1.4 keV, their equivalent widths are about 0.1 keV. We discuss various possible interpretations of the absorption features and exclude some of them. A likely interpretation is that the features are associated with atomic transitions of once-ionized helium in the neutron star atmosphere with a strong magnetic field. The first clear detection of absorption features in the spectrum of an isolated neutron star provides an opportunity to measure the mass-to-radius ratio and constrain the equation of state of the superdense matter.

description: A numerical set is a co-finite subset of the natural numbers that contains zero. Its Frobenius number is the largest number in its complement. Each numerical set has an associated semigroup $A(T)=\{t\mid t+T\subseteq T\}$, which has the same Frobenius number as $T$. For a fixed Frobenius number $f$ there are $2^{f-1}$ numerical sets. It is known that there is a number $γ$ close to $0.484$ such that the ratio of these numerical sets that are mapped to $N_f=\{0\}\cup(f,\infty)$ is asymptotically $γ$. We identify a collection of families $N(D,f)$ of numerical semigroups such that for a fixed $D$ the ratio of the $2^{f-1}$ numerical sets that are mapped to $N(D,f)$ converges to a positive limit as $f$ goes to infinity. We denote the limit as $γ_D$, these constants sum up to $1$ meaning that they asymptotically account for almost all numerical sets.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Due to raising pressures from civil society, consumers, businesses and public institutions, appropriate methodological, technological and organizational innovations acquired a central role for the establishment of global sustainable food supply chains. This paper presents an-line software able to support the implementation of sustainable policies for two highly traded products between Latina America and Europe that still raise environmental, social and economic concerns, namely soymeal and beef. The E-Platform propose itself as a synthesis of both scientific and management requirements, therefore combining complex analysis methods as life cycle analysis in the back-end and implementation and monitoring modules in the front-end. The system, currently in its test phase in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, has its primary objectives in facilitating the implementation of new sustainable production policies, in opening access to new markets and in complying with stringent requirements minimizing the certification costs and time investments for the actors of the supply chain.

description: In this paper, we study the viability of having a fermion Dark Matter particle below the TeV mass scale in connection to the neutrino mass generation mechanism. The simplest realization is achieved within the scotogenic model where neutrino masses are generated at the 1-loop level. Hence, we consider the case where the dark matter particle is the lightest $\mathbb{Z}_2$-odd Majorana fermion running in the neutrino mass loop. We assume that lepton number is broken dynamically due to a lepton number carrier scalar singlet which acquires a non-zero vacuum expectation value. In the present scenario the Dark Matter particles can annihilate via $t$- and $s$-channels. The latter arises from the mixing between the new scalar singlet and the Higgs doublet. We identify three different Dark Matter mass regions below 1 TeV that can account for the right amount of dark matter abundance in agreement with current experimental constraints. We compute the Dark Matter-nucleon spin-independent scattering cross-section and find that the model predicts spin-independent cross-sections ``naturally'' dwelling below the current limit on direct detection searches of Dark Matter particles reported by XENON1T.

description: The minimum spanning tree, based on the concept of ultrametricity, is constructed from the correlation matrix of stock returns. The dynamics of this asset tree can be characterised by its normalised length and the mean occupation layer, as measured from an appropriately chosen centre called the `central node'. We show how the tree length shrinks during a stock market crisis, Black Monday in this case, and how a strong reconfiguration takes place, resulting in topological shrinking of the tree.

description: Soft matter, self-assembled 3D photonic structures such as blue phase liquid crystals have of great interest to the displays industry and are highly desirable as spatial light modulators because of their polarisation independence and fast switching. However, these types of devices suffer from multistep fabrication conditions and require high threshold voltages. To overcome these limitations, two key points were considered: High flexoelectric liquid crystals are capable of uniform 3D self-assembly, with a wide temperature range but have high threshold voltages, whereas, other classes of high dielectric liquid crystals have fast electro-optic response times with low threshold voltages but show poor 3D self-assembly. In this work, new mixture formulations have been devised having both properties in moderation in order to achieve simple yet stable 3D self-assembled blue phases with fast response times at as low as possible applied fields. Dielectric materials were considered from a commercial source whereas, miscible flexoelectric soft materials were synthesised in-house. These synthesised materials were fully characterised. Then mixtures were formulated in commercial high dielectric hosts to study their miscibility, new mesogenic transitions and electro-optic responses in terms of flexoelectric and dielectric properties. The selected mixtures were further investigated for the rapid growth of blue phases and their compatibility with reactive mesogens to form stable blue phases at room temperature. This new formulation of materials has given rise to mixtures and devices which are inherently easy to fabricate allowing the robust and resilient growth of blue phases under an hour in standard laboratory conditions. Furthermore, polarisation independent electro-optic switching has been characterised at fields <1V micron m-1. For phase modulation studies of these stabilised blue phase devices, phase shift was measured using a modified Young’s slit interferometer. The observed results were very promising, with a full 2.5 pi phase shift observed at a field of 9.25 V micron m-1 when compared to earlier reported devices (which required complicated multistep fabrication processes) giving values of full 1.8 pi phase shifts at 20 V micron m-1.

description: To discover novel scaffolds as leads against dementia, a series of δ-aryl-1,3-dienesulfonyl fluorides with α-halo, α-aryl and α-alkynyl were assayed for ChE inhibitory activity, in which compound A10 was identified as a selective BuChE inhibitor (IC50 = 0.021 μM for eqBChE, 3.62 μM for hBuChE). SAR of BuChE inhibition showed: (i) o- > m- > p-; –OCH3 > –CH3 > –Cl (–Br) for δ-aryl; (ii) α-Br > α-Cl, α-I. Compound A10 exhibited neuroprotective, BBB penetration, mixed competitive inhibitory effect on BuChE (Ki = 29 nM), and benign neural and hepatic safety. Treatment with A10 could almost entirely recover the Aβ1-42-induced cognitive dysfunction to the normal level, and the assessment of total amount of Aβ1-42 confirmed its anti-amyloidogenic profile. Therefore, the potential BuChE inhibitor A10 is a promising effective lead for the treatment of AD.
Application of the Resource Theory of Channels to Communication Scenarios

description: We introduce a resource theory of channels relevant to communication via quantum channels, in which the set of constant channels --- useless channels for communication tasks --- is considered as the free resource. We find that our theory with such a simple structure is useful to address central problems in quantum Shannon theory --- in particular, we provide a converse bound for the one-shot non-signalling assisted classical capacity that naturally leads to its strong converse property, as well as obtain the one-shot channel simulation cost with non-signalling assistance. We clarify an intimate connection between the non-signalling assistance and our formalism by identifying the non-signalling assisted channel coding with the channel transformation under the maximal set of resource non-generating superchannels, providing a physical characterization of the latter. Our results provide new perspectives and concise arguments to those problems, connecting the recently developed fields of resource theories to `classic' settings in quantum information theory and shedding light on the validity of resource theories of channels as effective tools to address practical problems.

description: Hippo signalling pathway plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In this work, we identified an N-aryl sulphonamide-quinazoline derivative, compound 9i as an anti-gastric cancer agent, which exhibited potent antiproliferative ability with IC50 values of 0.36 μM (MGC-803 cells), 0.70 μM (HCT-116 cells), 1.04 μM (PC-3 cells), and 0.81 μM (MCF-7 cells), respectively and inhibited YAP activity by the activation of p-LATS. Compound 9i was effective in suppressing MGC-803 xenograft tumour growth in nude mice without obvious toxicity and significantly down-regulated the expression of YAP in vivo. Compound 9i arrested cells in the G2/M phase, induced intrinsic apoptosis, and inhibited cell colony formation in MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cells. Therefore, compound 9i is to be reported as an anti-gastric cancer agent via activating the Hippo signalling pathway and might help foster a new strategy for the cancer treatment by activating the Hippo signalling pathway regulatory function to inhibit the activity of YAP.
