title: Exploring the role of religion in gendered-development policy and practice
Creators: name: Elledge, Nora Khalaf
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2019

description: Situated within post-colonial development critique and post-structural feminist theory, this PhD thesis explores the under-examined intersection of gender and religion in international development, focusing specifically on the gender analysis phase of bilateral donor projects. The research draws on qualitative evidence from an in-depth document analysis of development reporting and semi-structured interviews with managerial gender personnel and religion advisors from six large Western government aid agencies, eight of their recipient organisations, and nine local women’s rights activists across different recipient countries. The findings suggest the need for an internal gender analysis that deconstructs complex power dynamics surrounding gendered issues related to religion, rather than a reliance on external religious partnerships which cater to development’s preference of efficiency and political expedience but have gender regressive effects and perpetuate the notion of religion as a separate category. This thesis seeks to make three main academic contributions. First, it introduces a change in theorising the religion-gender nexus by situating it within the internal gender dimension of development rather than its external management of religious partnerships. Second, by inverting the conceptualisation of the nexus and by moving it away from a religion-in-the-field approach, this thesis shows that the nexus and the power structures it preserves are a global social construct rather than a unique feature of communities in developing countries. Third, it deconstructs binary developed vs. developing countries narratives and instead considers development issues on a continuous spectrum, while acknowledging that practitioners are part of the processes they study and dictate the power paradigms within which meaning is produced.
Diffuse Galactic gamma ray flux at very high energy

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The observation of the diffuse Galactic gamma ray flux is the most powerful tool to study cosmic rays in different regions of the Galaxy, because the energy and angular distributions of the photons encode information about the density and spectral shape of relativistic particles in the entire Milky Way. An open problem of fundamental importance is whether cosmic rays in distant regions of the Milky Way have the same spectral shape observed at the Earth or not. If the spectral shape of protons and nuclei is equal in all the Galaxy, the dominant, hadronic component of the diffuse gamma ray flux must have an angular distribution that, after correcting for absorption effects, is energy independent. To study experimentally the validity of this factorization of the energy and angular dependence of the diffuse flux it is necessary to compare observations in a very broad energy range. The extension of the observations to energies $E_γ\simeq 0.1$--10~PeV is of great interest, because it allows the study of the cosmic ray spectra around the feature known as the "knee". The absorption probability for photons in this energy range is not negligible, and distorts the energy and angular distributions of the diffuse flux, therefore a precise calculation of the absorption effects is necessary for the interpretation of the data. In this work we present predictions of the diffuse gamma ray flux at very high energy, constructed under different hypothesis for the space dependence of the cosmic ray energy spectra, and discuss the potential of the observations for present and future detectors.

description: Nanowire networks are promising memristive architectures for neuromorphic applications due to their connectivity and neurosynaptic-like behaviours. Here, we demonstrate a self-similar scaling of the conductance of networks and the junctions that comprise them. We show this behavior is an emergent property of any junction-dominated network. A particular class of junctions naturally leads to the emergence of conductance plateaus and a "winner-takes-all" conducting path that spans the entire network, and which we show corresponds to the lowest-energy connectivity path. These results point to the possibility of independently addressing memory or conductance states in complex systems and is expected to have important implications for neuromorphic devices based on reservoir computing.

Loops, Cutoffs and Anomalous Gauge Boson Couplings
Creators: name: London, David

Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss several issues regarding analyses which use loop calculations to put constraints on anomalous trilinear gauge boson couplings (TGC's). Many such analyses give far too stringent bounds. This is independent of questions of gauge invariance, contrary to the recent claims of de Rujula et. al., since the lagrangians used in these calculations ARE gauge invariant, but the SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y symmetry is nonlinearly realized. The real source of the problem is the incorrect use of cutoffs -- the cutoff dependence of a loop integral does not necessarily reflect the true dependence on the heavy physics scale M. If done carefully, one finds that the constraints on anomalous TGC's are much weaker. We also compare effective lagrangians in which SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y is realized linearly and nonlinearly, and discuss the role of custodial SU(2) in each formulation.

Improved Silbey-Harris polaron ansatz for the spin-boson model

description: In this paper, the well-known Silbey-Harris (SH) polaron ansatz for the spin-boson model is improved by adding orthogonal displaced Fock states. The obtained results for the ground state in all baths converge very quickly within finite displaced Fock states and corresponding SH results are corrected considerably. Especially for the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model, the converging results are obtained for 0 < s < 1/2 in the fourth-order correction and very accurate critical coupling strengths of the quantum phase transition are achieved. Converging magnetization in the biased spin-boson model is also arrived at. Since the present improved SH ansatz can yield very accurate, even almost exact results, it should have wide applications and extensions in various spin-boson model and related fields.

description: Stationary, spherical accretion onto an unmagnetized neutron star is here reconsidered on the wake of the seminal paper by Zel'dovich \& Shakura (1969). It is found that new ``hot'' solutions may exist for a wide range of luminosities. These solutions are characterized by a high temperature, $10^{9}÷10^{11}$ K, and arise from a stationary equilibrium model where the dominant radiative mechanisms are multiple Compton scattering and bremsstrahlung emission. For low luminosities, $\mincir 10^{-2} \ L_{E}$, only the ``cold'' (à la Zel'dovich and Shakura) solution is present.

description: ‘Sapphic Sleuth’ consists of my novel, The Scorched Cross: A Sister Holiday Mystery, and a reflective thesis on the process of and rationale for writing it. The commentary explains the critical-into-creative methodology established to write a novel that leverages detective genre conventions and fluidity to inhabit, subvert, and expand on genre tropes, such as masquerade and the hardboiled wise-guy voice, to recast the lone-wolf sleuth as a queer nun who investigates her imbricated identities in concert with the central crimes. This thesis explores how the novel was informed by a creative reading and analysis of criticism and detective fiction, particularly hardboiled private-eye fiction, with the goal of contributing an original variation on the amateur sleuth narrative. Following examinations of genre and the complex relationship of social identities and cultural institutions in detective fiction, the thesis articulates how amateur sleuth fiction like The Scorched Cross: A Sister Holiday Mystery exemplifies that relationship. These inquiries converge in the context of craft as I explicate the novel’s aesthetics and the system of poetics devised to queer the investigative sensibility and innovate within genre expectations to achieve thematic and stylistic synthesis. The critical commentary proposes that an application of queer analysis and the foregrounding of queer storylines in crime fiction, as illustrated in The Scorched Cross: A Sister Holiday Mystery, can situate a sleuth outside of heteronormative constructs thereby affording her unusual detection abilities such as interpreting, code-switching, passing, and inference – skills particularly relevant to a person at the margins. Through this commentary I argue that a theoretically grounded queer crime fiction practice can create a discourse between new works and canonical texts, underscoring the fluid nature of genre and the vital ways crime fiction can contribute to an expansive Creative Writing practice and pedagogy.
Exploring business-oriented farmers’ willingness to adopt environmental practices

description: Some researchers argue that climate change can only be combated by reducing economic growth in developed countries. While this is a reasonable argument, it is very unlikely that all these countries will lower their economic activity in the short-medium run in order to favour the environment. This article explores an alternative solution that consists of affecting farmer’s incentives to adopt environmental practices when they operate in a highly business-oriented paradigm. Using a structural equations approach, it was found that farmers can potentially be induced to adopt these practices by means of local policy programs.

The Dipion Mass Spectrum In e+e- Annihilation and tau Decay: A Dynamical (rho0, omega, phi) Mixing Approach

description: We readdress the problem of finding a simultaneous description of the pion form factor data in e+e- annihilations and in tau decays. For this purpose, we work in the framework of the Hidden Local Symmetry (HLS) Lagrangian and modify the vector meson mass term by including the pion and kaon loop contributions. This leads us to define the physical rho, omega and phi fields as linear combinations of their ideal partners, with coefficients being meromorphic functions of s, the square of the 4--momentum flowing into the vector meson lines. This allows us to define a dynamical, i.e. s-dependent, vector meson mixing scheme. The model is overconstrained by extending the framework in order to include the description of all meson radiative (V P gamma and P gamma gamma couplings) and leptonic (Ve+e- couplings) decays and also the isospin breaking (omega/ phi --> pi+ pi-) decay modes. The model provides a simultaneous, consistent and good description of the e+e- and tau dipion spectra. The expression for pion form factor in the latter case is derived from those in the former case by switching off the isospin breaking effects specific to e+e- and switching on those for tau decays. Besides, the model also provides a good account of all decay modes of the form V P gamma, Pgamma gamma as well as the isospin breaking decay modes. It leads us to propose new reference values for the rho^0 --> e+ e- and omega --> pi+ pi- partial widths which are part of our description of the pion form factor. Other topics (phi --> K anti K, the rho meson mass and width parameters) are briefly discussed. Therefore, we confirm the 3.3 sigma discrepancy between the theoretical estimate of a_mu based on e+e- and its direct BNL measurement.

Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study a new class of flavor changing interactions, which can arise in models based on extended gauge groups (rank $>$4) when new charged fermions are present together with a new neutral gauge boson. We discuss the cases in which the flavor changing couplings in the new neutral current coupled to the $Z^\prime$ are theoretically expected to be large, implying that the observed suppression of neutral flavor changing transitions must be provided by heavy $Z^\prime$ masses together with small $Z$-$Z^\prime$ mixing angles. Concentrating on E$_6$ models, we show how the tight experimental limit on $μ\rightarrow eee$ implies serious constraints on the $Z^\prime$ mass and mixing angle. We conclude that if the value of the flavor changing parameters is assumed to lie in a theoretically natural range, in most cases the presence of a $Z^\prime$ much lighter than 1 TeV is unlikely.

description: The number of open source software projects has been growing exponentially. The major online software repository host, GitHub, has accumulated tens of millions of publicly available Git version-controlled repositories. Although the research potential enabled by the available open source code is clearly substantial, no significant large-scale open source code datasets exist. In this paper, we present the Public Git Archive -- dataset of 182,014 top-bookmarked Git repositories from GitHub. We describe the novel data retrieval pipeline to reproduce it. We also elaborate on the strategy for performing dataset updates and legal issues. The Public Git Archive occupies 3.0 TB on disk and is an order of magnitude larger than the current source code datasets. The dataset is made available through HTTP and provides the source code of the projects, the related metadata, and development history. The data retrieval pipeline employs an optimized worker queue model and an optimized archive format to efficiently store forked Git repositories, reducing the amount of data to download and persist. Public Git Archive aims to open a myriad of new opportunities for ``Big Code`` research.

description: Urbanization in China is closely connected with ambient particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5). However, the potential for altering PM2.5 through the urban landscape characteristics is uncertain. In this study, we analyzed the urban PM2.5 pollution situation for 2014–2016 and investigated the impact of landscape factors on urban PM2.5 in China at the city level. All the prefecture-level cities were stratified by urban population size into small (<500,000), medium (500,000–1,000,000), and large (>1,000,000), and the other second-level administrative cities were assigned as ‘other’ cities. The multivariate regression model including both urban landscape factors and social-economic variables explained 70.0%, 32.8%, 19.2%, and 12.4% of the arithmetic mean PM2.5 concentration (AMC-PM2.5) for the other, small, medium, and large cities, respectively. With regard to the configuration of land cover, agricultural activity is a major contributor of PM2.5 pollution, for which the explanatory power ranged from 7.6% (for the large cities) to 64% (for the other cities). In addition, grassland aggregation also has a limited but negative effect on urban PM2.5 pollution, despite the negligible effect on dry deposition. Overall, these findings likely reflect the interaction between urban air quality and urbanization, and will have implications for air quality control strategies.

description: We present results of searching for the possible typical scales in the spatial distribution of QSOs. Our method is based on the second derivative of the two-point correlation function. This statistic is sensitive to the scale of the maximum in the spectrum $P(k)$ of the density perturbation in the universe. This maximum or bend scale can be detected as the wavelengths of the periodic component in the second derivative of the integral correlation function. For various QSO samples compiled from surveys of pencil-beam and bright QSOs, a typical scale of about 93 $\pm$ 10 h$^{-1}$Mpc for $q_0=0.5$ has been detected. This typical scale is in good agreement with that found in the spatial distributions of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and CIV absorption systems of QSOs if $q_0$ is taken to be $\sim 0.2$. Therefore, it is likely a common or universal scale in the large scale structure traced by these objects. This result is consistent with the assumption that the typical scale comes from a characteristic scale in the spectrum of the density perturbation in the universe.

description: We find a supersymmetrization of the Bianchi IX cosmology in terms of Ashtekar's new variables. This provides a framework for connecting the recent results of Graham and those of Ryan and Moncrief for quantum states of this model. These states are also related with the states obtained particularizing supergravity for a minisuperspace. Implications for the general theory are also briefly discussed.

A study of the role of genetic factors in the classification of distinct multiple sclerosis clinical phenotypes
Creators: name: Jawad, Tania
Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The following thesis tests the working hypothesis that the distinct clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS) may be underpinned by phenotypespecific differences in gene expression profiles in T-lymphocytes. The first objective of the thesis was to examine in silico gene expression libraries derived from normal brain and MS brain, in order to identify differential gene expression in MS brain lesions. From the cohort of genes identified, genes whose function was likely to be implicated in T-lymphocyte activation were examined in T-lymphocyte preparations from patients with each of the MS phenotypes and healthy controls. Subsequently, global T-lymphocyte gene expression profiles were compared across MS clinical phenotypes and healthy controls using microarray technology and classification of the major changes in gene expression were made. The expression of a cohort of genes potentially implicated in T-lymphocyte activation were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR and examined in myelin basic protein (MBP)/interleukin-2 stimulated control T-lymphocyte cultures. Lastly, a single nucleotide polymorphism study was carried out in an Irish family with four MS affected siblings, one with secondary progressive MS (SP MS) remainder present with relapsing remitting MS(RR MS). Overall, the work presented herein demonstrates the utility of a multi-faceted approach to examining gene expression profiles in MS. The data obtained from the in silico studies are robust enough to provide targets which were able to be validated in clinical samples. Elsewhere, microarray comparisons provided interesting evidence pointing to the existence of MS phenotype specific T-lymphocyte activation profiles, at least in terms of the transcriptomic response The family study in conclusion was underpowered in terms of identifying disease loci, but did however demonstrate that there are regions of the genome clearly shared by the affected siblings (281 words).

description: We report the first results of timing and spectral studies of \textit{Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR)} observations of six TeV emitting high-frequency peaked blazars: 1ES 0347$-$121, 1ES 0414$+$009, RGB J0710$+$591, 1ES 1101$-$232, 1ES 1218$+$304 and H 2356-309. Two out of these six TeV blazars, 1ES 1101$-$232 and 1ES 1218$+$304, showed strong evidence of intraday variations in the 3--79 keV energy range during those observations. We also found a hint of an intraday variability timescale of 23.5 ks in the light curve of 1ES 1218$+$304 using an autocorrelation function analysis. We obtained magnetic field $B \sim 0.03$ G, electron Lorentz factor $γ\sim 2.16 \times 10^6 $ and emission region size $R \sim 1.19 \times 10^{16} $ cm for 1ES 1218$+$304 using that variability timescale. The other blazars' light curves do not show any variability timescales shorter than their observation lengths; however, we note that the data were both noisier and sparser for them. We also investigated the spectral shape of these TeV blazars and found that the spectrum of 1ES 0414$+$009 is well described by a single power-law with photon index $Γ\sim 2.77$. The spectra of the other five HBLs are somewhat better represented by log-parabola models with local photon indices (at 10 keV) $α\sim 2.23-2.67$ and curvature parameters, $β\sim 0.27-0.43$.

Design, synthesis and antibiotic susceptibility evaluation of prodrugs of peptides and anti-inflammatory agens for colonic delivery
Creators: name: Kennedy, David Andrew
Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The bacterium Clostridium difficile is the most prominent cause of hospital-acquired diarrhoea and disease of the large bowel. Clostridium difficile produces toxins that damage the colonic epithelium, causing inflammatory colitis that may be fatal. The treatment strategy against Clostridium difficile is currently mainly limited to a course of antibiotics metronidazole or the cyclic peptide vancomycin. However, due to emergence of antibiotic resistance, there is a desire for new antibiotics. Host-defence or antimicrobial peptides offer a promising approach to overcoming antibiotic resistance. By interacting selectively with non-specific microbial components, antimicrobial peptidcs evade evolution of microbial resistance. A challenge to the clinical development of therapeutic peptides is site-specific drug delivery. Herein, a novel strategy for the delivery of therapeutic antimicrobial peptides as prodrugs that release active peptide and mutual-drug anti-inflammatory agents upon metabolism by clostridial reductase enzyme for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection and inflammatory colitis has been developed, whereby antimicrobial peptides are protected at the alpha-amino terminal either by an azo bond to the anti-inflammatory agent 4-aminophenylacetic acid facilitated by an alpha-aminoisobutyric acid linker that increases the antimicrobial potency of the peptides, or by a benzyl carbamate linker bearing either a nitro or azo, bound to anti-inflammatory agent 5-aminosalicylic acid, as a reducible para substituent. The prodrug peptides and antibiotic peptides modified at the amino terminal by alpha-aminoisobutyric acid are prepared and evaluated for antimicrobial susceptibility against pathogenic bactcria Clostridium difficile and Staphylococcus aureus by determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations. The reduction of the prodrug linker containing 5-azosalicylic acid by the presence of Clostridium difficile is demonstrated spectrophotometrically.These results confirm the feasibility of this novel approach to delivery of antimicrobial peptides and anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection and associated colitis.

description: The formalism of non-commutative geometry of A. Connes is used to construct models in particle physics. The physical space-time is taken to be a product of a continuous four-manifold by a discrete set of points. The treatment of Connes is modified in such a way that the basic algebra is defined over the space of matrices, and the breaking mechanism is planted in the Dirac operator. This mechanism is then applied to three examples. In the first example the discrete space consists of two points, and the two algebras are taken respectively to be those of $2\times 2$ and $1\times 1$ matrices. With the Dirac operator containing the vacuum breaking $SU(2)\times U(1)$ to $U(1)$, the model is shown to correspond to the standard model. In the second example the discrete space has three points, two of the algebras are identical and consist of $5\times 5$ complex matrices, and the third algebra consists of functions. With an appropriate Dirac operator this model is almost identical to the minimal $SU(5)$ model of Georgi and Glashow. The third and final example is the left-right symmetric model $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L}.$

description: The spectrum of masses from a lattice QCD simulation may be found by fitting exponential functions to correlators of operators possessing the quantum numbers of the particles of interest. The ability of evolutionary algorithms to find globally optimized solutions containing a variable number of states across multiple data sets is exploited to provide a promising solution to the problem of finding these fits.
