Engaging nuns: Exiled english convents and the politics of exclusion, 1590-1829
Creators: name: Watkinson, Caroline
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2016

description: This thesis addresses the communities of English women religious founded after the Reformation on the other side of the Channel from a new perspective. In echoes of contemporary Protestant propaganda, debates about nuns remain too often framed by a discourse around themes such as passivity or the idea of forced vocations. The mere fact that women religious played a role in such propaganda suggests, however, that they also figured in debates about identity and political order. These were, moreover, debates in which nuns themselves could engage. Excluded from the secular world in their cloisters they may have been, but they were nonetheless actors both spiritually and as contributors to the wider Catholic imaginary of post-Reformation England. This is here traced through the succession of crises, from the English Civil War to the Jacobite risings, in which these exiled communities of women religious contributed to Catholic images of their Protestant-dominated homeland and significantly supported the Stuart cause. After 1750, however, with the decline of Jacobitism, the exiled convents played their part in turn in reconfiguring English Protestant images of the Catholic threat, a process that paved the way for the return of most of these communities in flight from the Jacobins of the French Revolution. This thesis thus not only demonstrates that nuns were politically active and engaged, but also contributed to the reshaping of England as an imagined space, both in going into exile in the first place, and in the way they negotiated a new modus vivendi in Britain in the years preceding Catholic Emancipation in 1829.
About measurements of electrons and holes impact ionization coefficients in 4H-SiC

description: The analysis of all published results on electrons and holes impact ionization coefficients in 4H-SiC at 300K have been performed. It is shown that the most plausible approximation of dependencies $α_{n,p}$ on the electric field strength $E$ have a conventional kind $α_{n,p}=a_{n,p}\exp(-E_{n,p}/E)$ with the values of the fitting parameters $a_n=38.6\cdot 10^6$ 1/cm, $E_n=25.6$ MV/cm, $a_p=5.31\cdot 10^6$ 1/cm, $E_p=13.1$ MV/cm. These dependencies $α_{n,p}(E)$ have been used to calculate the maximum field strength $E_b$ and the thickness of the space charge region $w_b$ at the breakdown voltage $U_b$. A set of new formulas are presented for calculation of $α_{n,p}(E)$ from results of avalanche multiplication coefficients and excess noise factor measurements at one-side lighting of photodiodes with stepped doping.

Subjects: Hypersonic propulsion and hypersonic aerothermodynamics

description: Hypersonic flow over two generic missile configurations was investigated using CFD meth- ods. CFD results were compared with experimental results obtained by the hypersonic flight lab at Texas A&M University. Baseline RANS computations involving the missile configurations at a zero deg angle-of-attack were performed, along with computations at higher angles-of-attack. As the angle-of-attack was increased, complex vortex interactions were observed in the region between the fins. Increasing the angle-of-attack generally increased heating on the windward side of the missile geometries, especially on wall surface regions adjacent to the fin-root vortices. The results presented highlight observed fin region vortices and regions of intense heating on the body surface. DES simulations methods were also used to explore unsteady aspects of flow around the two generic missile configurations through time-accurate CFD simulations. Power spectral plots were generated to quantify the dominant frequencies of large-scale unsteadiness.

description: "Making waves" describes every planner and defines our mandate. Some planners make ripples, others tidal waves; the entire profession is capable of a tsunami. The University of British Columbia's School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) has produced many accomplished wavemakers: city councillors, provincial and federal ministers, a recent premier, and members of the Senate. These planners have established a new profession based on taking risks, many of which create waves that splash back and threaten to inundate or even drown the wave-maker. Risk-taking is an essential function; as the ultimate characteristic of a planner, it also describes the history of planning education in Canada.

description: In this paper we study the problem of estimating snow cover in mountainous regions, that is, the spatial extent of the earth surface covered by snow. We argue that publicly available visual content, in the form of user generated photographs and image feeds from outdoor webcams, can both be leveraged as additional measurement sources, complementing existing ground, satellite and airborne sensor data. To this end, we describe two content acquisition and processing pipelines that are tailored to such sources, addressing the specific challenges posed by each of them, e.g., identifying the mountain peaks, filtering out images taken in bad weather conditions, handling varying illumination conditions. The final outcome is summarized in a snow cover index, which indicates for a specific mountain and day of the year, the fraction of visible area covered by snow, possibly at different elevations. We created a manually labelled dataset to assess the accuracy of the image snow covered area estimation, achieving 90.0% precision at 91.1% recall. In addition, we show that seasonal trends related to air temperature are captured by the snow cover index.

ACC/AHA 2005 guidelines for the management of patients with peripheral arterial disease (lower extremity, renal, mesenteric, and abdominal aortic): executive summary
Creators: name: Smith, Sidney C., Jr.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: These guidelines address the diagnosis and management of atherosclerotic, aneurysmal, and thromboembolic peripheral arterial diseases (PADs). The clinical manifestations of PAD are a major cause of acute and chronic illness, are associated with decrements in functional capacity and quality of life, cause limb amputation, and increase the risk of death. Whereas the term “peripheral arterial disease” encompasses a large series of disorders that affect arterial beds exclusive of the coronary arteries, this writing committee chose to limit the scope of the work of this document to include the disorders of the abdominal aorta, renal and mesenteric arteries, and lower extremity arteries. The purposes of the full guidelines are to (a) aid in the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of PAD of the aorta and lower extremities, addressing its prevalence, impact on quality of life, cardiovascular ischemic risk, and risk of critical limb ischemia (CLI); (b) aid in the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of renal and visceral arterial diseases; and (c) improve the detection and treatment of abdominal and branch artery aneurysms. Clinical management guidelines for other arterial beds (e.g., the thoracic aorta, carotid and vertebral arteries, and upper-extremity arteries) have been excluded from the current guidelines to focus on the infradiaphragmatic arterial system and in recognition of the robust evidence base that exists for the aortic, visceral, and lower extremity arteries.

description: In the real estate evaluations, both in urban and rural one, the several parameters methodology is assuming a more and more thickness role, considering that the determination of the value is reached analysing the real contribution of the single variables they define. This procedure supposes that information (data) is detailed as much as possible, assuring therefore, the objectivity of the entire operation. This work examines the possibility of using this method which exploit the “knowledge” contained in these data, through classification processes, typical of the Data Mining. Decisions Tree (D.T.), in fact, concurs to preview, through iterative processes, the most probable the real estate values, chancing variables intensity. Comparing to the regressive techniques, by now consolidated, the D.T. allows us to verify the different sequences by which variables participate to the price making.

Enhancement of transport safety through Cross Modal Switching
Creators: name: Patel, Toral
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2016

description: Transport safety has a direct impact on people’s lives despite considerable improvements in recent decades. By treating transport modes independently and not taking full account of modal options available, policymakers have overlooked potentially important and low cost contributions to overall passenger safety. This thesis investigates the extent to which Cross Modal Switching (CMS), encouraging users to transfer to safer modes of transport, can be deployed as an instrument of transport safety policy. Research was conducted to establish the safety differences between modes on specific journeys, taking account of composite risks including all transport modes used. Primary research used surveys and qualitative interviews to target three different groups to understand their views on transport safety, willingness to switch modes, reasons that would cause them to switch and modal perceptions on risk and travel behaviour. The feasibility of promoting CMS was assessed by measuring substitutability between modes and calculating cross-elasticities using data from the empirical surveys conducted and previously published work. Cost benefit calculations were made using monetised risk and the cost of fares subsidies to assess the net safety benefits for three selected journeys. This analysis shows that there is a marginal justification for CMS as a tool within an overall integrated transport policy that considers safety in all modes simultaneously. This must recognise that the absolute safety benefits are not very large relative to other benefits, although the relative size depends on the manner in which changes of consumer surplus are treated in the CBA. CMS can be demonstrated to be cost effective in low risk modes, relative to larger infrastructure investments only yielding marginal safety improvements. Further research, using a larger sample of journey net benefit calculations, is thus required to validate the case robustly for CMS, identifying beneficial opportunities for modal switching on specific routes and target modes.

description: We review and discuss the potential of using measurement-based elements in quantum communication schemes, where certain tasks are realized with the help of entangled resource states that are processed by measurements. We consider long-range quantum communication based on the transmission of encoded quantum states, where encoding, decoding and syndrome read-out are implemented using small-scale resource states. We also discuss entanglement-based schemes and consider measurement-based quantum repeaters. An important element in these schemes is entanglement purification, which can also be implemented in a measurement-based way. We analyze the influence of noise and imperfections in these schemes, and show that measurement-based implementation allows for very large error thresholds of the order of 10\% noise per qubit and more. We show how to obtain optimal resource states for different tasks, and discuss first experimental realizations of measurement-based quantum error correction using trapped ions and photons.

description: An explicit evaluation of the two pion transverse momentum dependent parton distributions at leading twist is presented, in the framework of the Nambu-Jona Lasinio model with Pauli-Villars regularization. The transverse momentum dependence of the obtained distributions is generated solely by the dynamics of the model. Using these results, the so called generalized Boer-Mulders shift is studied and compared with recent lattice data. The obtained agreement is very encouraging, in particular because no additional parameter has been introduced. A more conclusive comparison would require a precise knowledge of the QCD evolution of the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions under scrutiny.

description: Floods include some of the most frequent and costliest extreme weather events in Aotearoa New Zealand. Using data from Statistics New Zealand’s Integrated Data Infrastructure and Historical Weather Events Catalogue from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), this study empirically investigates the impact of floods on individual income across the country. The study considered thirteen economically significant flood events and the income of all the Inland Revenue registered individuals between 2000 and 2019. The impact of floods on the affected individual’s annual income was assessed using panel regressions with individual and time-fixed effects. Despite the large floods-induced privately insured damages, floods had no significant impact on individual annual incomes from salary, wage, self-employment, and total income across various specifications.
Primary prevention of coronary heart disease: Guidance from Framingham: A statement for healthcare professionals from the AHA task force on risk reduction
Creators: name: Smith, Sidney C., Jr.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: The Framingham Heart Study has contributed importantly to understanding of the causes of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. Framingham research has helped define the quantitative and additive nature of these causes or, as they are now called, “cardiovascular risk factors.”1 The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)2 3 has made extensive use of Framingham data in developing its strategy for preventing CHD by controlling high cholesterol levels. The NCEP guidelines2 3 adjust the intensity of cholesterol-lowering therapy with absolute risk as determined by summation of risk factors. The National High Blood Pressure Education Program (NHBPEP) has set forth a parallel approach for blood pressure control. In contrast to the NCEP,2 however, earlier NHBPEP reports issued through the Joint National Committee4 did not match the intensity of therapy to absolute risk for CHD. “Normalization” of blood pressure is the essential goal of therapy regardless of risk status. Blood pressure–lowering therapy is carried out as much for prevention of stroke and other cardiovascular complications as for reduction of CHD risk. Nonetheless, risk assessment could be important for making decisions about type and intensity of therapy for hypertension. Thus, the most recent Joint National Committee report5 gives more attention to risk stratification for adjustment of therapy for hypertension. Although Framingham data have already been influential in the development of national guidelines for risk factor management, the opportunity may exist for both cholesterol and blood pressure programs to draw more extensively from Framingham results when formulating improved risk assessment guidelines and recommending more specific strategies for risk factor modification.
Valore dei beni e beni di valore: un contributo sulla valutazione dei beni immobiliari militari

Year: 2009

description: During the last few years a number of laws have been passed to regulate the way in which surplus military properties (which are no longer operational as defence establishments) are disposed in the open market. A crucial issue of national policy concerns the way in which the value of military properties is calculated. Military properties often have historic, architectural and environmental qualities that favour their use by Local Authorities. This paper will analyse the problem of valuing such property, pointing out the inadequacy of the market value calculation. This paper will discuss how, in the negotiations between the State and the Local Authorities, the focus should be shifted towards cooperation and on exploitation strategies.

description: Biaxial strain in coherent epitaxial thin films can have a pronounced effect on the point defect profile in the film material. Detailed fundamental knowledge of the interaction of strain with point defects is crucial in understanding the stoichiometry and resulting properties of strained thin films. Here we investigate the effect of biaxial strain on the formation energy of cation and anion vacancies using MnO as a model system. Our density functional theory calculations show that, as expected from local volume arguments, compressive strain favours the formation of cation vacancies. Interestingly, we find that small compressive and tensile strains lead to ordering of the resulting holes along the in-plane and normal direction respectively, which should manifest in different anisotropic properties in the two strain states.

description: Materials with negative thermal expansion (NTE), which contract upon heating, are of great interest both technically and fundamentally. Here, we report giant NTE covering room temperature in mechanically milled antiperovksite GaNxMn3 compounds. The micrograin GaNxMn3 exhibits a large volume contraction at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) to paramagnetic (PM) (AFM-PM) transition within a temperature window (ΔT) of only a few kelvins. The grain size reduces to ~ 30 nm after slight milling, while ΔT is broadened to 50K. The corresponding coefficient of linear thermal expansion (α) reaches ~ -70 ppm/K, which is almost two times larger than those obtained in chemically doped antiperovskite compounds. Further reducing grain size to ~ 10 nm, ΔT exceeds 100 K and α remains as large as -30 ppm/K (-21 ppm/K) for x = 1.0 (x = 0.9). Excess atomic displacements together with the reduced structural coherence, revealed by high-energy X-ray pair distribution functions, are suggested to delay the AFM-PM transition. By controlling the grain size via mechanically alloying or grinding, giant NTE may also be achievable in other materials with large lattice contraction due to electronic or magnetic phase transitions.

Back-reaction of the Hawking radiation flux on a gravitationally collapsing star II (exact solutions)
Creators: name: Mersini-Houghton, Laura
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Particle creation leading to Hawking radiation is produced by the changing gravitational field of the collapsing star. The two main initial conditions in the far past placed on the quantum field from which particles arise, are the Hartle–Hawking vacuum and the Unruh vacuum. The former leads to a time-symmetric thermal bath of radiation, while the latter to a flux of radiation coming out of the collapsing star. The energy of Hawking radiation in the interior of the collapsing star is negative and equal in magnitude to its value at future infinity. This work investigates the backreaction of Hawking radiation on the interior of a gravitationally collapsing star, in a Hartle–Hawking initial vacuum. It shows that due to the negative energy Hawking radiation in the interior, the collapse of the star stops at a finite radius, before the singularity and the event horizon of a black hole have a chance to form. That is, the star bounces instead of collapsing to a black hole. A trapped surface near the last stage of the star's collapse to its minimum size may still exist temporarily. Its formation depends on the details of collapse. Results for the case of Hawking flux of radiation with the Unruh initial state, will be given in a companion paper II.
Ethics beyond immanence: rupturing law’s method through sex research
Creators: name: Brooks, Victoria
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2016

description: The law defines the sexuality of bodies in limited terms. The law draws lines across the body which force it into identification and categorisation (male, female, straight, gay, human, non-human). These definitions conflict with the materialities of the body and the materialities of the encounter of sex, which are inclined to ‘push’ at and reterritorialize these boundaries. Legal and ethical frames restrict the ability of law and of research to access the encounter of sex, where bodies push these limits by moving, touching, kissing, fucking, caressing and becoming. I claim that ethics as contextual laws that derive from encounters carry the potential to subvert the subjugation of bodies from law’s inside. This subversion is dependant on establishing access to the encounter, which I argue is possible through methodologically radical sexuality research. The researcher’s body is also a sexed body, and I claim that by situating, and tracing the process of situating the ‘I’ within research, the ‘soul’ of the individual finds itself connected to the collective, through lines drawn across it by law. These lines can be ‘ruptured’ through their reconnection to the encounter of sex, which draws law deeper into the encounter itself, such that law can be disrupted through desire into becoming radically ‘ethical’. Through the deployment of Deleuzian Conceptual and Methodological Tools, I frame the basis through which law can become-ethical. The creation of this theoretical frame brings me and my thesis to wade through the ‘waves’ of real encounters with the field, at a nudist beach at Cap D’Agde in Southern France. In the course of doing so, I become reflexive and critical of the Deleuzian conceptual and methodological tools and whether even radical and immanent philosophy is equipped to assist the law in becoming-ethical in its judgment of sex. I claim that access to the encounter and to disrupting law towards radically bodily-sensitive judgment and ‘measuring’ of encounters is a ‘practical’ endeavour. This is the radically ethical responsibility of the Researcher-Practitioner: A lawyer-researcher body who is deployed into the field to subvert the spectres of law and sexuality through practice, which is traced presence within the real, fleeting, everlasting, intimate, joyful, painful, banal, profound, hot, heavy, fast, slow, violent, gentle and sand-drenched encounter of sex itself.

description: A feasibility into the utility and acceptability of a workshop on Inference and Scientific Methodology which we have designed. We will run it at the University of Bristol (hopefully on December 8th 2021). The workshop is open to all postgraduate researchers and research staff (pathways 1, 2, and 3). Workshop summary: we will consider what the scientific method looks like within our own research and learn about the three types of inference (induction, deduction, and abduction). In more detail: we will create and discuss methodological schematics, pictorially representing what our individual research processes look like (from conception to conclusion). These schematics will be drawn on during the bulk of the session, when we discuss each type of inference in turn. We will discuss lots of examples in order to understand how they are used. We will consider how we make inferences at each stage of our own research process. In doing so, we will discuss potential pitfalls and how to improve the robustness of our inferences.

description: The recently-discovered monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) provide a fertile playground to explore new coupled spin-valley physics. Although robust spin and valley degrees of freedom are inferred from polarized photoluminescence (PL) experiments, PL timescales are necessarily constrained by short-lived (3-100ps) electron-hole recombination. Direct probes of spin/valley polarization dynamics of resident carriers in electron (or hole) doped TMDCs, which may persist long after recombination ceases, are at an early stage. Here we directly measure the coupled spin-valley dynamics in electron-doped MoS_2 and WS_2 monolayers using optical Kerr spectroscopy, and unambiguously reveal very long electron spin lifetimes exceeding 3ns at 5K (2-3 orders of magnitude longer than typical exciton recombination times). In contrast with conventional III-V or II-VI semiconductors, spin relaxation accelerates rapidly in small transverse magnetic fields. Supported by a model of coupled spin-valley dynamics, these results indicate a novel mechanism of itinerant electron spin dephasing in the rapidly-fluctuating internal spin-orbit field in TMDCs, driven by fast intervalley scattering. Additionally, a long-lived spin coherence is observed at lower energies, commensurate with localized states. These studies provide crucial insight into the physics underpinning spin and valley dynamics of resident electrons in atomically-thin TMDCs.

description: We must welcome Ribaudo and Gallerani’s papers since they can be considered as a sign of a return to the kinds of debates that once contributed so heavily towards the advancement of our discipline. Ribaudo’s methodology, which tries to identify valid information in order to assess known data (i.e. prices) properly, is not in actual fact new since it has been proposed before but refused due to practical difficulties. On the other hand, the income approach procedure isn’t highly esteemed today, especially when vineyards are at stake. To do so correctly one must accurately analyse all the anticipated benefits that are converted into value estimates, that is all goods and services. These considerations should somehow justify the enormous differences between selling prices and the discounted present value of the anticipated (current) benefits, considering any investment of this kind as a financial investment.

description: We show a direct matching between individual Feynman diagrams and integration measures in the scattering equation formalism of Cachazo, He and Yuan. The connection is most easily explained in terms of triangular graphs associated with planar Feynman diagrams in $ϕ^3$-theory. We also discuss the generalization to general scalar field theories with $ϕ^p$ interactions, corresponding to polygonal graphs involving vertices of order $p$. Finally, we describe how the same graph-theoretic language can be used to provide the precise link between individual Feynman diagrams and string theory integrands.

description: As an advantage to conventional monitoring systems sensor equipped grinding wheels offer the possibility to gain information on the process status from direct measurements of physical quantities in the contact zone. This can be realized by the integration of small temperature and force sensors into segmented grinding wheels. A new thermocouple sensor concept was developed whose novelty is the continuous contacting of the thermocouple by the grinding wheel wear. Further tests where conducted using a piezoelectric sensor integrated into the grinding wheel. By this set-up, forces in grinding as well as in dressing processes were obtained. After assessing the system’s capability for monitoring grinding and dressing processes tests in an industrial environment showed the reliability of the monitoring system which therefore may become the basis for a novel kind of process control in the future.

description: The radio signature of a shock travelling through the solar corona is known as a type II solar radio burst. In rare cases these bursts can exhibit a fine structure known as `herringbones', which are a direct indicator of particle acceleration occurring at the shock front. However, few studies have been performed on herringbones and the details of the underlying particle acceleration processes are unknown. Here, we use an image processing technique known as the Hough transform to statistically analyse the herringbone fine structure in a radio burst at $\sim$20-90 MHz observed from the Rosse Solar-Terrestrial Observatory on 2011 September 22. We identify 188 individual bursts which are signatures of bi-directional electron beams continuously accelerated to speeds of 0.16$_{-0.10}^{+0.11} c$. This occurs at a shock acceleration site initially at a constant altitude of $\sim$0.6 R$_{\odot}$ in the corona, followed by a shift to $\sim$0.5 R$_{\odot}$. The anti-sunward beams travel a distance of 170$_{-97}^{+174}$ Mm (and possibly further) away from the acceleration site, while those travelling toward the sun come to a stop sooner, reaching a smaller distance of 112$_{-76}^{+84}$ Mm. We show that the stopping distance for the sunward beams may depend on the total number density and the velocity of the beam. Our study concludes that a detailed statistical analysis of herringbone fine structure can provide information on the physical properties of the corona which lead to these relatively rare radio bursts.

description: This paper considers the role of an emergent embodied art practice in better understanding, communicating and managing the experiences of chronic illness and chronic pain. Referencing a history of pain scales, diagnostic tools, and pain management strategies that fail to provide adequate relief to those living with chronic conditions, this thesis illustrates the process I have taken to reconstruct my art practice which, built in tandem with intentional lived practices, has enabled me to inhabit my sick body in new ways. At an intersection between queer and chronic illness discourse, following an autotheoretical approach to making and writing, this project is built in deep connection to my own lived experiences. Life with chronic illness is shrouded with uncertainty and demands a practice that embraces the ebbs and flows, trial and errors, and desperate reaches directed by a wavering physical capacity. As such, I rely upon a network of actions that together build the foundation of my research praxis. Connecting my work to artists Janine Antoni, Zoe Leonard, Louise Bourgeois and Jo Spence, my thesis body of work weaves together drawing, photography, video, sculpture, digital collage, note-taking, dancing and walking as different modes of making. The residual artworks produced through these embodied practices work together to communicate my experience as an artist living with chronic illness. Concurrently, these practices offer themselves as maintenance, aiding in managing the symptoms of my physical condition and in the development of a sustainable art practice, re-imagined to work with the needs of my body rather than against it.

description: Background
In 2003, 11 public health epidemiologists were placed in North Carolina's largest hospitals to enhance communication between public health agencies and healthcare systems for improved emergency preparedness. We describe the specific services public health epidemiologists provide to local health departments, the North Carolina Division of Public Health, and the hospitals in which they are based, and assess the value of these services to stakeholders.

Methods
We surveyed and/or interviewed public health epidemiologists, communicable disease nurses based at local health departments, North Carolina Division of Public Health staff, and public health epidemiologists' hospital supervisors to 1) elicit the services provided by public health epidemiologists in daily practice and during emergencies and 2) examine the value of these services. Interviews were transcribed and imported into ATLAS.ti for coding and analysis. Descriptive analyses were performed on quantitative survey data.

Results
Public health epidemiologists conduct syndromic surveillance of community-acquired infections and potential bioterrorism events, assist local health departments and the North Carolina Division of Public Health with public health investigations, educate clinicians on diseases of public health importance, and enhance communication between hospitals and public health agencies. Stakeholders place on a high value on the unique services provided by public health epidemiologists.

Conclusions
Public health epidemiologists effectively link public health agencies and hospitals to enhance syndromic surveillance, communicable disease management, and public health emergency preparedness and response. This comprehensive description of the program and its value to stakeholders, both in routine daily practice and in responding to a major public health emergency, can inform other states that may wish to establish a similar program as part of their larger public health emergency preparedness and response system.
