Effects of oil exposure and oil-related compounds on the immune system of the arctic and temperate scallops, chlamysislandica and pecten maximus
Creators: name: Lynhannam, Marie Lyn
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth

description: With the current expansion of offshore oil activities in Arctic regions, there is an urgent need to establish the potential effects of oil-related compounds on Arctic organisms. The scallop Chlamys islandica is distributed throughout the sub-Arctic and has been proposed as a sentinel species for this region. In addition, the temperate scallop Pecten maximus occurs in regions of oil activity and, with increasing sea temperatures, the limit of its distribution may extend further into sub-Arctic regions. P. maximus also accumulates contaminants to a greater extent than the current temperate sentinel Mytilus edulis. A hierarchical approach, similar to that adopted to assess vertebrate immune function, was used to determine immunocompetence in the Arctic scallop C. islandica and the temperate scallop P. maximus following exposure to oil and oil-related compounds. The Arctic scallop C. islandica demonstrated a reduced immunocompetence following both dispersed and acute oil exposure. Immunomodulation in the scallops exposed to low levels of dispersed oil appeared to be reversible following removal of the contaminant stress (Chapter 3). However, a simulated oil spill resulted in mortalities and it remains unclear if the organisms are able to recover from the substantial immune suppression observed (Chapter 4). A component of crude oil and the most abundant PAH in aquatic ecosystems, phenanthrene suppressed immune function in P. maximus. These results indicated a link between PAH-induced oxidative stress and the subsequent inhibition in haemocyte immune function (Chapter 5). However, the ability of scallop haemocytes to recognise and respond to a pathogen-associated molecular pattern was not affected by phenanthrene exposure (Chapter 6). The immune parameters used in this research were shown to be sensitive, reliable markers of immunocompetence that can be directly linked to host resistance (Chapter 7). These immune parameters were also used to assess the sublethal effects of drilling wastes associated with offshore oil production (Chapter 8), indicating their potential as ecotoxicological monitoring tools.

description: In the initial stages of operation for future tokamak, facing limited data availability, deploying data-driven disruption predictors requires optimal performance with minimal use of new device data. This paper studies the issue of data utilization in data-driven disruption predictor during cross tokamak deployment. Current predictors primarily employ supervised learning methods and require a large number of disruption and non-disruption shots for training. However, the scarcity and high cost of obtaining disruption shots for future tokamaks result in imbalanced training datasets, reducing the performance of supervised learning predictors. To solve this problem, we propose the Enhanced Convolutional Autoencoder Anomaly Detection (E-CAAD) predictor. E-CAAD can be only trained by normal samples from non-disruption shots and can also be trained by disruption precursor samples when disruption shots occur. This model not only overcomes the sample imbalance in supervised learning predictors, but also overcomes the inefficient dataset utilization faced by traditional anomaly detection predictors that cannot use disruption precursor samples for training, making it more suitable for the unpredictable datasets of future tokamaks. Compared to traditional anomaly detection predictor, the E-CAAD predictor performs better in disruption prediction and is deployed faster on new devices. Additionally, we explore strategies to accelerate deployment of E-CAAD predictor on the new device by using data from existing devices. Two deployment strategies are presented: mixing data from existing devices and fine-tuning the predictor trained on existing devices. Our comparisons indicate that the data from existing device can accelerate the deployment of predictor on new device. Notably, the fine-tuning strategy yields the fastest deployment on new device among the designed strategies.

description: Glass-coated Fe–Ni–Cu microwires were prepared by Taylor's technique. X-ray diffraction data show patterns corresponding to fcc Cu. Negative magnetoresistance has been observed, which reaches 8.15% at 77 K and 6.35% at 300 K in magnetic field of 9.0 T. There is no significant difference between I˔H and IǁH configurations. Both dc and low frequency ac (f<1 kHz) measurements exhibit essentially the same values of magnetoresistance. The observed magnetoresistance in the Fe–Ni–Cu microwires is of the same origin found in the granular giant magnetoresistance materials and is distinguishable from the giant magnetoimpedance commonly seen in soft magnetic microwires.

description: We consider a quantum many-body lattice system that is coupled to ancillary degrees of freedom (``detectors''), which are periodically measured by means of strong projective measurements. The concentration $ρ_a$ of ancillae and their coupling $M$ to the main system are considered as parameters. We explore the dynamics of density and of entanglement entropy in the chain, for various values of $ρ_a$ and $M$ for two models of the detector-chain interaction that couple the local density in the chain to a detector degree of freedom. It is found that, for the density-density ($S_z s_z$-type in spin language) coupling, the critical values $M_c$ for the measurement-induced entanglement transition depends sensitively on $ρ_a$. Moreover, our results indicate that for a sufficiently small $ρ_a$ the transition in this model disappears, i.e., a finite density of detectors is needed to reach a disentangling phase. The behavior is qualitatively different for the second model, with density-hopping ($S_z s_x$-type) coupling. Specifically, the dynamics is much less sensitive to the concentration $ρ_a$ of detectors than in the first model. Furthermore, the dependence of entanglement on the coupling strength $M$ is strongly non-monotonic, indicating re-entrance of the entangling phase at large $M$.

Aufbau Suppressed Coupled Cluster Theory for Electronically Excited States

description: We introduce an approach to improve single-reference coupled cluster theory in settings where the Aufbau determinant is absent from or plays only a small role in the true wave function. Using a de-excitation operator that can be efficiently hidden within a similarity transform, we create a coupled cluster wave function in which de-excitations work to suppress the Aufbau determinant and produce wave functions dominated by other determinants. Thanks to an invertible and fully exponential form, the approach is systematically improvable, size consistent, size extensive, and, interestingly, size intensive in a granular way that should make the adoption of some ground state techniques such as local correlation relatively straightforward. In this initial study, we apply the general formalism to create a state-specific method for orbital-relaxed singly excited states. We find that this approach matches the accuracy of similar-cost equation-of-motion methods in valence excitations while offering improved accuracy for charge transfer states. We also find the approach to be more accurate than excited-state-specific perturbation theory in both types of states.

A total of 582,916 events of Rydberg-atom measurements are collected for experimental MIS solutions of 733,853 different graphs. We provide the raw image data along with the entire binary determinations of the measured many-body ground states and the classified graph data, to offer bench-mark testing and advanced data-driven analyses for validation of the performance and system improvements of the Rydberg-atom approach.

These are subspaces of multipartite Hilbert spaces containing only pure states with an entanglement depth of at least $k$. We present an efficient construction of $k$-CESs of any achievable dimensionality in any multipartite scenario. Further, we discuss the relation between these subspaces and unextendible product bases (UPBs). In particular, we establish that there is a non-trivial bound on the cardinality of a UPB whose orthocomplement is a $k$-CES. Further, we discuss the existence of such UPBs for qubit systems.

description: This study presents the first investigation of pedestrian crash severity using the TabNet model, a novel tabular deep learning method exceptionally suited for analyzing the tabular data inherent in transportation safety research. Through the application of TabNet to a comprehensive dataset from Utah covering the years 2010 to 2022, we uncover intricate factors contributing to pedestrian crash severity. The TabNet model, capitalizing on its compatibility with structured data, demonstrates remarkable predictive accuracy, eclipsing that of traditional models. It identifies critical variables, such as pedestrian age, involvement in left or right turns, lighting conditions, and alcohol consumption, which significantly influence crash outcomes. The utilization of SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) enhances our ability to interpret the TabNet model's predictions, ensuring transparency and understandability in our deep learning approach. The insights derived from our analysis provide a valuable compass for transportation safety engineers and policymakers, enabling the identification of pivotal factors that affect pedestrian crash severity. Such knowledge is instrumental in formulating precise, data-driven interventions aimed at bolstering pedestrian safety across diverse urban and rural settings.

description: We study geometric and topological properties of infinite graphs that are quasi-isometric to a planar graph of bounded degree. We prove that every locally finite quasi-transitive graph excluding a minor is quasi-isometric to a planar graph of bounded degree. We use the result to give a simple proof of the result that finitely generated minor-excluded groups have Assouad-Nagata dimension at most 2 (this is known to hold in greater generality, but all known proofs use significantly deeper tools). We also prove that every locally finite quasi-transitive graph that is quasi-isometric to a planar graph is $k$-planar for some $k$ (i.e. it has a planar drawing with at most $k$ crossings per edge), and discuss a possible approach to prove the converse statement.

Computational and Psycho-Physiological Investigations of Musical Emotions
Creators: name: Coutinho, Eduardo
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2008

description: The ability of music to stir human emotions is a well known fact (Gabrielsson & Lindstrom. 2001). However, the manner in which music contributes to those experiences remains obscured. One of the main reasons is the large number of syndromes that characterise emotional experiences. Another is their subjective nature: musical emotions can be affected by memories, individual preferences and attitudes, among other factors (Scherer & Zentner, 2001). But can the same music induce similar affective experiences in all listeners, somehow independently of acculturation or personal bias? A considerable corpus of literature has consistently reported that listeners agree rather strongly about what type of emotion is expressed in a particular piece or even in particular moments or sections (Juslin & Sloboda, 2001). Those studies suggest that music features encode important characteristics of affective experiences, by suggesting the influence of various structural factors of music on emotional expression. Unfortunately, the nature of these relationships is complex, and it is common to find rather vague and contradictory descriptions. This thesis presents a novel methodology to analyse the dynamics of emotional responses to music. It consists of a computational investigation, based on spatiotemporal neural networks sensitive to structural aspects of music, which "mimic" human affective responses to music and permit to predict new ones. The dynamics of emotional responses to music are investigated as computational representations of perceptual processes (psychoacoustic features) and self-perception of physiological activation (peripheral feedback). Modelling and experimental results provide evidence suggesting that spatiotemporal patterns of sound resonate with affective features underlying judgements of subjective feelings. A significant part of the listener's affective response is predicted from the a set of six psychoacoustic features of sound - tempo, loudness, multiplicity (texture), power spectrum centroid (mean pitch), sharpness (timbre) and mean STFT flux (pitch variation) - and one physiological variable - heart rate. This work contributes to new evidence and insights to the study of musical emotions, with particular relevance to the music perception and emotion research communities.

description: Federated Learning (FL) enables model development by leveraging data distributed across numerous edge devices without transferring local data to a central server. However, existing FL methods still face challenges when dealing with scarce and label-skewed data across devices, resulting in local model overfitting and drift, consequently hindering the performance of the global model. In response to these challenges, we propose a pioneering framework called \textit{FLea}, incorporating the following key components: \textit{i)} A global feature buffer that stores activation-target pairs shared from multiple clients to support local training. This design mitigates local model drift caused by the absence of certain classes; \textit{ii)} A feature augmentation approach based on local and global activation mix-ups for local training. This strategy enlarges the training samples, thereby reducing the risk of local overfitting; \textit{iii)} An obfuscation method to minimize the correlation between intermediate activations and the source data, enhancing the privacy of shared features. To verify the superiority of \textit{FLea}, we conduct extensive experiments using a wide range of data modalities, simulating different levels of local data scarcity and label skew. The results demonstrate that \textit{FLea} consistently outperforms state-of-the-art FL counterparts (among 13 of the experimented 18 settings, the improvement is over $5\%$) while concurrently mitigating the privacy vulnerabilities associated with shared features.

description: To explore the impact of social distance and information presentation types on 12
self-other risk preferences in monetary tasks. Risk preferences were examined in 13
decision-making tasks and experiential information tasks within different frameworks 14
when participants made decisions for themselves and others. Experiment 1 employed 15
experiential decision tasks and revealed individual differences in decision-making for 16
oneself and others. In gain situations, participants exhibited more risk aversion when 17
deciding for others compared to themselves. Experiment 2 presented both types of 18
information simultaneously to investigate whether risk decisions for oneself and 19
others are influenced by information types. Results indicated that experiential 20
information led participants to make more conservative choices for others, while 21
descriptive information eliminated this effect. This study discovered the influence of 22
social distance on self-other risk decisions and the role of information presentation 23
types in self and other risk decision-making. Future research could further explore 24
self-other decision-making from the perspectives of decision-makers' traits and 25

description: The task of factoring integers poses a significant challenge in modern cryptography, and quantum computing holds the potential to efficiently address this problem compared to classical algorithms. Thus, it is crucial to develop quantum computing algorithms to address this problem. This study introduces a quantum approach that utilizes Rydberg atoms to tackle the factorization problem. Experimental demonstrations are conducted for the factorization of small composite numbers such as $6 = 2 \times 3$, $15 = 3 \times 5$, and $35 = 5 \times 7$. This approach involves employing Rydberg-atom graphs to algorithmically program binary multiplication tables, yielding many-body ground states that represent superpositions of factoring solutions. Subsequently, these states are probed using quantum adiabatic computing. Limitations of this method are discussed, specifically addressing the scalability of current Rydberg quantum computing for the intricate computational problem.

description: We study a discrete-space model of active matter with excluded volume. Particles are restricted to the sites of a triangular lattice, and can assume one of three orientations. Varying the density and noise intensity, Monte Carlo simulations reveal a variety of spatial patterns. Ordered states occur in the form of condensed structures, which (away from the full occupancy limit) coexist with a low-density vapor. The condensed structures feature low particle mobility, particularly those that wrap the system via the periodic boundaries. As the noise intensity is increased, dense structures give way to a disordered phase. We characterize the parameter values associated with the condensed phases and perform a detailed study of the order-disorder transition at (1) full occupation and (2) at a density of 0.1. In the former case, the model possesses the same symmetry as the three-state Potts model and exhibits a continuous phase transition, as expected, with critical exponents consistent with those of the associated Potts model. In the low-density case, the transition is clearly discontinuous, with strong dependence of the final state upon the initial configuration, hysteresis,and nonmonotonic dependence of the Binder cumulant upon noise intensity.

description: High-quality random numbers are very critical to many fields such as cryptography, finance, and scientific simulation, which calls for the design of reliable true random number generators (TRNGs). Limited by entropy source, throughput, reliability, and system integration, existing TRNG designs are difficult to be deployed in real computing systems to greatly accelerate target applications. This study proposes a TRNG circuit named RHS-TRNG based on spin-transfer torque magnetic tunnel junction (STT-MTJ). RHS-TRNG generates resilient and high-speed random bit sequences exploiting the stochastic switching characteristics of STT-MTJ. By circuit/system co-design, we integrate RHS-TRNG into a RISC-V processor as an acceleration component, which is driven by customized random number generation instructions. Our experimental results show that a single cell of RHS-TRNG has a random bit generation speed of up to 303 Mb/s, which is the highest among existing MTJ-based TRNGs. Higher throughput can be achieved by exploiting cell-level parallelism. RHS-TRNG also shows strong resilience against PVT variations thanks to our designs using bidirectional switching currents and dual generator units. In addition, our system evaluation results using gem5 simulator suggest that the system equipped with RHS-TRNG can achieve 3.4-12x higher performance in speeding up option pricing programs than software implementations of random number generation.

description: We denote by Q(A) the set of all matrices with the same sign pattern as A. A matrix A has signed null-space provided there exists a set S of sign patterns such that the set of sign patterns of vectors in the null-space of Ã is S for each Ã is an element of Q(A). Some properties of matrices with signed null-spaces are investigated.
THE EMERGENCE OF DELIA RADICUM IN RELATION TO AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE
Creators: name: BRINDLE, GRAHAM
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth

description: Cabbage root fly passes through three generations a year in the south of England. The first generation peaks in late April to early May having overwintered in diapause. Recently, populations have been discovered in which the emergence of first generation flies was protracted, lasting until mid-July. The project aimed to investigate the incidence of late emergence in Devon and to examine the ways in which late emergers differed from early emergers in their progress through diapause. A new emergence trap was developed and used in conjunction with yellow water traps to monitor the emergence of cabbage root fly populations at locations of contrasting agricultural practice. Late emergence was widespread in Devon, occurring later (up to September), and in a greater proportion of some populations than any previously reported. The phenomenon appears to be a response to the planting of brassicas in June, as flies emerging at the normal time may not be able to locate a host crop. Emergence in a substantial proportion of one population was delayed for a year. This has not been been previously reported in cabbage root fly and represents a 'sit and wait' strategy associated with short-lived habitats, occurring in patches often separated by considerable distances but which frequently reappear in approximately the same location. A gas chromatography technique was developed which is capable of individually monitoring the respiration rates of large numbers of pupae. The results suggested that the temperature optimum for diapause development may r1se in late emergers, possibly above the threshold for postdiapause development. There was considerable 1ntrapopulat1on variation in temperature responses. Overall, the results suggest that the level of variation in temperature response and emergence times between and within populations will require careful local investigation with continuous reassessment of selection pressures, for an accurate prediction of cabbage root fly emergence.

description: The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) started observing the extremely powerful long-duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A, after 53 hours of the triggering event. The H.E.S.S. collaboration carried out observations on the 11, 12, and 17, of October 2022 under poor atmospheric conditions, without detecting significant very high-energy photons from the source and computed the upper limits of the fluxes for the different nights. We study these flux upper limits by using the photohadronic model and show that the interaction of high-energy protons with the synchrotron seed photons in the forward shock region of the GRB jet exhibits behavior compatible with the upper limits computed by the H.E.S.S. collaboration.

BENEFITS OF FERMENTED LIQUID DIETS FOR SOWS AND THEIR PIGLETS
Creators: name: DEMECKOVA, VLASTA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2003

description: A programme of study was undertaken to asses the antimicrobial and potential immunological properties of fermented liquid feed fed to sows in late gestation period. A liquid feed fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum fed to the pregnant sow in late gestation had the potential to beneficially modify the microflora the lactating sows introduces into the environment, which was consequently reflected in beneficial changes in the gut microflora of their litters. In addition, colostrum from sows fed FLF had a significantly greater mitogenic activity on both intestinal ce11s (79326 ± 3069 CPM) and blood lymphocytes (1903 ± 204 CPM) compared with colostrum from dry feed fed sows (53433 ± 1568 CPM and 1231 ± 61.4 CPM respectively). The combined effects of higher milk quality and the reduction in the level of environmental contamination with faecal pathogens, achieved by FLF, may be important in achieving improved health status for both sows and piglets. A series of in vitro experiments were conducted in order to select a suitable new starter culture from LAB of porcine origin, which would have similar fermentative abilities to Lactobacillus plantarum, but could exert possible 'probiotic' effects on the host (pregnant sow). From a total of 87 faecal Lactobacillus strains, a homofermentative aggregating Lactobacillus salivarius, was selected for further in vivo studies as it was able to resist bile and acid conditions, had good adherence abilities to a11 intestinal compartments (mucus, epithelial cells, collagen), as well as being a potent stimulator of interleukin (IL)-12. In addition, it had comparable fermentation properties to the Lactobacillus plantarum that has been widely used to ferment FLF in this laboratory. In vivo experiments with porcine Lactobacillus salivarius strongly indicated that this bacterial strain is an effective inoculant for FLF, with a potential double role: the role of the starter culture and the role of probiotic. This could help sows to overcome disorders due to the stress associated with farrowing, enhance immunity of newborn piglets through better immunological quality of colostrum and control pathogen challenge for both sows and their newborn piglets.

description: The telecloning protocol distributes quantum states from a single sender to multiple receivers via a shared entangled state by exploiting the notions of teleportation and approximate cloning. We investigate the optimal telecloning fidelities obtained using both Gaussian and non-Gaussian shared resources. When the shared non-Gaussian state is created by subtracting photons from both the modes of the Gaussian two-mode squeezed vacuum state, we demonstrate that higher telecloning fidelities can be achieved in comparison with its Gaussian counterpart. To quantify this advantage, we introduce a quadrature-based nonclassicality measure, which is capable of estimating the fidelity of the clones, both with Gaussian and non-Gaussian resource states. We further provide a linear optical setup for asymmetric telecloning of continuous variable states using a multimode entangled state.

description: A snap-through bifurcation occurs when a bistable structure loses one of its stable states and moves rapidly to the remaining state. For example, a buckled arch with symmetrically clamped ends can snap between an inverted and a natural state as the ends are released. A standard linear stability analysis suggests that the arch becomes unstable to asymmetric perturbations. Surprisingly, our experiments show that this is not always the case: symmetric transitions are also observed. Using experiments, numerics, and a toy model, we show that the symmetry of the transition depends on the rate at which the ends are released with sufficiently fast loading leading to symmetric snap-through. Our toy model reveals that this behavior is caused by a region of the system's state space in which any initial asymmetry is amplified. The system may not enter this region when loaded fast (hence remaining symmetric) but will traverse it for some interval of time when loaded slowly, causing a transient amplification of asymmetry. Our toy model suggests that this behavior is not unique to snapping arches, but rather can be observed in dynamical systems where both a saddle-node and a pitchfork bifurcation occur in close proximity.
