title: Body and City in Contemporary London Writing
Creators: name: Zhang, P
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: This thesis explores the images of body and city in the literary representations of contemporary London in a selection of British novels published around the new millennium. Fuelled by a deep concern with the ways in which volatile socio-cultural changes have borne upon the daily practices of urban life, contemporary London writing has manifested a tendency to attempt to reclaim a sense of authentic engagement with the metropolis by recovering and reasserting the significance of the experiences of an embodied self. Since the onset of modernity a deepening division between the thinking self and the feeling body has characterised the urban condition of London. This division is both reflected in London novels – in various forms of tension between visual and embodied experience – and is questioned and challenged from various perspectives. Through a focused representation of multifarious sensory perceptions, physical actions, distinctive body images, sexual difference, embodied localised views, and spatial relations between body and city, the contemporary London writers examined in this study draw attention to the resistance that the illegible, irreducible corporeal dimensions of urban life present to a hegemonic visual order. Moreover, these writers strive to re-incorporate vision as one facet of the reciprocal sensuous engagement with the metropolis, in order to offer up further possibilities for creating a sense of place in the ever-more de-corporealised and de-materialised urban space. This commitment to rendering a ‘palpable’ version of London is taken on by established contemporary London-based writers such as Iain Sinclair, Peter Ackroyd and Ian McEwan, and their younger counterparts like Zadie Smith, Tom McCarthy, John Lanchester and Nicola Barker, as well as writers such as Geoff Nicholson, Lee Rourke, William Boyd and Penelope Lively, whose imagined Londons have received less attention from the academy. Drawing together a varied selection of literary texts, this thesis broadens the scope of literary criticism on contemporary London writing. A close textual analysis of the search of contemporary London writers for an inhabitable version of London, and their attentiveness to corporeal experiences also shows that in the most recent stage of postmodernity, literary realism has been reconsidered – with innovative techniques and new perspectives – as a viable form of engaging with a seemingly un-representable urban reality. This thesis demonstrates and interrogates the ways in which contemporary London writing attempts to make the reader ‘see’ and ‘feel’ the presence of a living metropolis.

description: A characteristic feature of quasars is the observed non-linear relationship between their monochromatic luminosities at rest-frame 2500 Å and 2 keV. This relationship is evident across all redshifts and luminosities and, due to its non-linearity, can be implemented to estimate quasar distances and construct a Hubble Diagram for quasars. Historically, a significant challenge in the cosmological application of this relation has been its high observed dispersion. Recent studies have demonstrated that this dispersion can be reduced by excluding biased objects from the sample. Nevertheless, the dispersion remains considerable ($δ\sim 0.20$ dex), especially when compared to the Phillips relation for supernovae Ia. Given the absence of a comprehensive physical model for the relation, it remains unclear how much of the remaining dispersion is intrinsically tied to the relation itself and how much can be attributed to observational factors not addressed by the sample selection and by the choice of X-ray and UV indicators. Potential contributing factors include (i) the scatter produced by using X-ray photometric results instead of spectroscopic ones, (ii) the intrinsic variability of quasars, and (iii) the inclination of the accretion disc relative to our line of sight. In this study, we thoroughly examine these three factors and quantify their individual contributions to the observed dispersion. Based on our findings, we argue that the intrinsic dispersion of the X-ray/UV luminosity relation is likely below 0.06 dex. We also discuss why high-redshift subsamples can show a significantly lower dispersion than the average one.

Disruptive power: A comparison of political voice for non-elites after the great depression and the recession of 2008
Creators: name: McInnis, Tillie
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Power (Social sciences)
Elite (Social sciences)

description: This thesis investigates how non-elites influence policymaking in a time of large income and wealth inequality. To do this, I examine the tactics of disruptive power used by two groups following two major economic downturns in the U.S.: the industrial workers after the Great Depression in the 1930s and Occupy Wall Street after the Recession in 2008. I pay special attention to the specific leverage each group was able to generate through practices of noncooperation. I find that the strikes of industrial workers who withdrew their labor in large numbers in the 1930s led to significant policy change, specifically the National Relations Labor Act of 1935 (also known as the Wagner Act), which was one of the most influential laws in shaping workers' political future. The passage of the Wagner Act gave workers and unions the political power to continue to put pressure on policy makers, which contributed to more equitable policies such as the Fair Labor Standards Act. In contrast, Occupy Wall Street resulted in very little policy change. I argue that the lack of policy results was due in part to Occupy's failure to withdraw contributions from systems of interdependence. This prevented them from acquiring a significant form of leverage vis-à-vis government or financial elites. Occupy Wall Street did succeed in sparking a national dialogue, putting economic inequality on the agenda, but it was unable to produce the kind of robust disruptive power that can prompt policy change. My method involved careful analysis of social movement theory, particularly as it related to the concept of disruptive power and the close study of scholarship from political science, history, and sociology, which addressed the two cases in their respective contexts.

Transformation vers l'Urbanisme Durable : Pôle urbain Hay Riad en Avant-Garde de la Gestion des Déchets
Creators: name: Hassane BACHIRI

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Dans un contexte où les villes cherchent à devenir des centres urbains dynamiques et attrayants, la gestion des déchets urbains représente un défi crucial. Cet essai explore en profondeur les défis, les progrès réalisés et les perspectives théoriques pertinentes dans ce domaine. En mettant en lumière des exemples concrets tels que la transition de Solamta à Arma à Rabat et les initiatives durables à Hay Riad, il vise à éclairer les stratégies et politiques façonnant cette gestion dans les villes en pleine croissance.

Solamta, le système précédent de gestion des déchets à Rabat, présentait des défis majeurs, avec un taux de collecte moyen de 60 %, une capacité de traitement limitée à 500 tonnes par jour et un taux de recyclage faible de seulement 10 %. En revanche, la transition vers Arma en 2020 a marqué une évolution significative, avec une augmentation du taux de collecte à 80 %, une capacité de traitement élargie à 800 tonnes par jour et un taux de recyclage accru à 20 %.

L'analyse de cette transition repose sur une méthodologie d'analyse critique des données empiriques, intégrant des cadres théoriques tels que l'économie circulaire et la gouvernance environnementale. Cette approche permet une exploration approfondie des tendances émergentes, des meilleures pratiques et des défis persistants dans la gestion des déchets urbains.

Les conclusions théoriques mettent en évidence plusieurs théories explorées, notamment l'économie circulaire qui souligne l'importance de réduire, réutiliser et recycler les ressources pour minimiser les déchets. De plus, la gouvernance environnementale offre un cadre pour analyser les politiques et les processus de prise de décision, en mettant l'accent sur la participation des parties prenantes et la coordination entre les acteurs.

Cependant, des divergences subsistent quant aux approches optimales, certains privilégiant les solutions technologiques comme l'incinération et le traitement des déchets, tandis que d'autres insistent sur des stratégies axées sur la prévention et la réduction à la source. Ces divergences soulignent la nécessité d'une approche intégrée tenant compte des contextes spécifiques à chaque ville.

Les limites théoriques identifiées incluent le manque de mesures standardisées pour évaluer l'efficacité des politiques, ainsi que des lacunes dans la compréhension des interactions complexes entre les dimensions de la durabilité urbaine. Cette analyse souligne l'urgence d'une recherche interdisciplinaire et d'une intégration approfondie des dimensions sociales, économiques et environnementales dans l'élaboration des politiques et des interventions en matière de gestion des déchets urbains.

Reexamining global drug eradication policies: A systemic analysis of their ecological and societal effects in Mexico, Colombia and Afghanistan

description: Since 1961, the U.N. Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs has continued to be the overarching treaty that has been followed and enforced, as a prohibitionist international drug control model. By conducting a systematic review of primary and secondary sources, this paper demonstrates how U.N. established drug control treaties and U.S. led drug crop eradication campaigns have overlooked the core elements that continue to fuel the global drug trade. This research evaluates U.S. led drug eradication initiatives that have been executed in Mexico, Colombia, and Afghanistan. Existing discussions on this topic largely fall in either one of two camps. Western policymakers claim that drug crop eradication initiatives are necessary in order to reduce the supply of drugs from reaching the global drug market. On the contrary, scholars have argued that international drug policies have continued to be ineffective at combating the global drug trade, due to the enormous drug demand emanating from Western nations, especially the United States. In addition, researchers believe western counter-narcotic efforts have been unproductive because they have overlooked the vicious cycles produced as a result of these eradication tactics; these drug crop eradication methods have led to a vicious cycle of deforestation, a loss of bio-diversity, and a never-ending war on impoverished populations cultivating these drug crops for their very own economic survival. The ecosystems and populations that are being negatively affected by outdated and ineffective global drug eradication policies have been the motivation behind this research. Alternative solutions for international drug control are needed. In an attempt to reformulate international and U.S. drug policy-oriented approaches, I have proposed some alternatives gathered by my research that could serve as a more viable international drug control model.

A demonstration apparatus for optical pumping of rubidium
Creators: name: Lee, Charles
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Optical pumping -- Research Spin exchange -- Research Rubidium isotopes -- Research

description: Optical pumping refers to the use of light in order to elevate ("pump") the spin (intrinsic angular momentum) of an atom or molecule. This process is of interest from a pedagogical and experimental perspective because it encapsulates fundamental properties of atomic physics and quantum mechanics. Funded in part by the Office of Undergraduate Research at the University of Utah, an apparatus has been constructed for the optical pumping of rubidium atoms by resonance with a semiconductor laser. Intended specially for demonstration use in the classroom, the device is noteworthy for its compact dimensions, portability, simplicity of operation, and substantial economy relative to commercially marketed apparatus. The present work treats the theory of optical pumping, construction and architecture of the apparatus, and interpretation of selected optical-pumping phenomena demonstrated by the device.
DRM & driving: Creation of false memories under cognitive workload
Creators: name: Memmott, Magdalen Grace
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: False memory syndrome

description: Not only are humans unable to recall things that actually occur, they may also recall information that did not occur. Such findings contribute to the pervasive hypothesis that people are not more productive by combining tasks, instead such productivity is an illusion. It was hypothesized that when more memory and attention are used, there may be instances when the qualities of these functions suffer. Participants completed three within-subject conditions: a single driving task, a single memory task, and a combined driving and memory task. For the single driving task, participants used a high-fidelity driving simulator to drive on a freeway loop for fifteen minutes. For the single memory condition, participants completed a task based on the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) false memory paradigm (1995). Participants were read a word list and then asked to verbally recall as many words as they could. In the dual task condition, participants completed the DRM memory task and driving task simultaneously. The data include a comparison of veridical and false memories to give us an understanding of the influence multitasking can have on recollection. Initial results reveal a dissociation between single task and dual task conditions. As predicted, veridical recall was reduced under divided attention, while false recall was relatively stable. These preliminary results suggest that combining multiple tasks to increase productivity is largely unproductive.

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Motion pictures -- Production and direction

description: The thematic goal of my short film The Original was to explore the blurred nature between reality and artificiality that arises from emerging technology. The Original questions an individual's place amongst the simulated realities that have come to compose our world. The concepts behind my script were inspired by the writings of Jean Baudrillard. In his book Simulacra and Simulation, he first described the concept of hyperreality and the need for our society to fabricate existence, along with the subsequent destruction of any reality that occurs in the process. In The Original, Maia Long is a computer programmer tasked with evaluating a digital replication of her own mind. She notices that the machine is growing rapidly and thinking for itself. As the situation grows out of her control, Maia comes to the realization that this simulation may be an authentic consciousness, and their interaction casts her own individuality into doubt.
title: Novel Ionic Liquid Based Electrolytes for Non-Aqueous Lithium-Oxygen Batteries

Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: Superoxide (O2•-) is the key discharge intermediary driving many non-aqueous metal-oxygen (M-O2) battery chemistries.1–4 Characteristic dioxygen (O2x, where x = -2, -1, 0, +1) stretching vibrations (νO-O) have been well documented spectroscopically in numerous chemically unique systems.5–8 Therefore, the O2•- intermediary can be used as a diagnostic molecule to spectroscopically probe electrolyte effects on O2 reduction-evolution reaction (OR/ER) processes at the electrode/electrolyte interface, providing fundamental insight into non-aqueous M-O2 reaction mechanisms. However, it is first important to understand the vibrational spectra of O2x, though a concise overview of the large amount of empirical data in different chemical environments is lacking. Herein, reviewing the spectroscopy of O2•- and other O2x species gave a good spectroscopic grounding that supported in situ spectroscopic studies of OR/ERs in novel ionic liquid (IL) based electrolytes. Fundamental studies of OR/ERs at the roughened gold (rAu) model electrode interface in a variety of IL electrolytes using in situ surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) were performed to study IL cation and anion effects on the chemical nature of O2•-. Analysis of νO-O and IL vibrational peak intensities and Stark shifts provided valuable information about electrolyte interactions. Furthermore, IL:solvent (IL:sol) blended electrolytes were studied to determine the effect of the solvent and salt additives on the properties of the IL electrolyte. Overall, four key parameters were shown to affect the chemical nature of O2•- at the electrode/electrolyte interface, the: (1) IL cation, (2) IL anion, (3) solvent additive Gutmann acceptor/donor number (AN/DN) and (4) the electrode potential. To optimise various physicochemical properties of the electrolyte, A general heuristic methodology for “tailoring”, screening and optimising the electrolyte was developed and a series of novel electrolytes were formulated. These novel electrolytes showed improved O2 reduction reaction (ORR) electrochemistry and exceptional stability in contact with lithium metal (Li-metal) with good physicochemical properties. Our study provides valuable information for the design and tailoring of novel IL based electrolytes for Li and other M-O2 batteries.
Reassessing the advantage of indefinite causal orders for quantum metrology

description: The quantum switch, the canonical example of a process with indefinite causal order, has been claimed to provide various advantages over processes with definite causal orders for some particular tasks in the field of quantum metrology. In this work, we argue that some of these advantages in fact do not hold if a fairer comparison is made. To this end, we consider a framework that allows for a proper comparison between the performance, quantified by the quantum Fisher information, of different classes of indefinite causal order processes and that of causal strategies on a given metrological task. More generally, by considering the recently proposed classes of circuits with classical or quantum control of the causal order, we come up with different examples where processes with indefinite causal order offer (or not) an advantage over processes with definite causal order, qualifying the interest of indefinite causal order regarding quantum metrology. As it turns out, for a range of examples, the class of quantum circuits with quantum control of causal order, which are known to be physically realizable, is shown to provide a strict advantage over causally ordered quantum circuits as well as over the class of quantum circuits with causal superposition. Thus, the consideration of this class provides new evidence that indefinite causal order strategies can strictly outperform definite causal order strategies in quantum metrology.

Dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and respiratory sinus arrhythmia: A preliminary investigation into the effects of mindfulness practice in a transdiagnostic clinical population

description: Researchers have shown that mindfulness based therapies, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), are effective treatments in trans-diagnostic clinical populations with emotion dysregulation. Researchers have yet to determine the effect of mindfulnessbased therapies on respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a physiological measure associated with emotion dysregulation. In this study, we examine associations between mindfulness, RSA, and emotion regulation in a group of participants currently in therapeutic treatment for psychopathology associated with emotion dysregulation. Methods: Six participants completed interview and self-report measures of psychopathology and emotion dysregulation, and physiological measures during a baseline and mindfulness task. Results: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) were correlated with deficits in emotion regulation. Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) was not. RSA was not associated with reports of psychopathology or emotion dysregulation. However, across diagnoses and emotion regulation deficits, RSA increased during a brief mindfulness task. Discussion: Even very brief mindfulness instruction appears to be effective at raising RSA across diagnoses and emotion regulation deficits. A conceptualization of mindfulness that parallels facets of emotion dysregulation would prove useful in evaluating why this treatment is efficacious across diagnoses and emotion regulation difficulties. RSA and other physiological measures of the autonomic nervous system offer an avenue for exploring such mechanisms. Further, researchers should seek to understand whether increases in RSA due to mindfulness instruction are associated with improvements in psychopathology and emotion regulation. The results presented in this paper are part of a larger study exploring associations between the autonomic nervous system, emotion dysregulation, psychopathology, and mindfulness.

description: We present a new galaxy cluster search in the COSMOS field through the use of the Adaptive Matched Identifier of Clustered Objects (AMICO). We produced a new cluster and group catalogue up to $z=2$, by performing an innovative application of AMICO with respect to previous successful applications to wide-field surveys, in terms of depth (down to $r < 26.7$), small area covered ($1.69 deg^2$ of unmasked area) and redshift extent. This sample, and the comparative analysis we performed with the X-rays, allowed for the calibration of mass-proxy scaling relations up to $z=2$ and down to less than $10^{13} M_{sun}$ and constitutes the base for the refinement of the cluster model for future applications of AMICO, like the analysis of upcoming Euclid data. AMICO is based on an optimal linear matched filter and detects clusters in photometric galaxy catalogues using galaxy location, photometric redshift and, in the simplest case, one galaxy property. We used one magnitude as galaxy property, avoiding explicit use of galaxy colour, and performed 3 independent runs in the r, Y and H bands using both COSMOS2020 and COSMOS2015 galaxy catalogues. The final catalogue resulting from matching the results of the three runs contains 1269 and 666 candidate clusters with $S/N >3.0$ and $>3.5$, respectively. Most of the unmatched ones have $S/N <3.5$ which can be chosen as cut for a more robust sample. We assigned X-ray properties to our detections via matching with a public X-ray group sample and by estimating, for unmatched detections, X-ray properties at the location of AMICO candidates based on Chandra+XMM-Newton data. 622 are the candidates with X-ray flux estimate. This large sample allowed for the calibration of the scaling relations between AMICO mass-proxies and X-ray mass and the study of their redshift dependence for the selection of the most stable photometric bands.

Becoming large enough: encompassing subjective and objective perspectives in one whole

description: How does one resolve the disconnect when subjective and objective perspectives directly contradict each other? My research has been a quest to understand the nature of this conflict, particularly in relation to somatic work and my creative process. In reviewing somatics literature, I found that most practitioners are unaware that their work could be more effective if they addressed this issue actively. In order to offer somatics practitioners more tools for integrating these perspectives I have put forth the principles I  use with my students and clients. I attempt to encompass conflicting polarities within one conceptual container by asking open questions, allowing multiple opinions, encouraging everyone to try an activity, and answering students' questions multi-dimensionally. I also watch out for polarized beliefs, avoid trying to "fix" a client, and work to balance cultural power structures. As a dance maker I have sought to harness the creative energy of conflict. When I allowed conflicting  perspectives to be simultaneously true, I found that the result was a paradox. In following the paradox, I experienced creative success when I worked intuitively, rather than literally. The lessons from my research have led me to advocate journeying into the hard places in order to achieve greater clarity and more evocative art.

description: How to mathematically separate out the different components of a neural code and to identify the unique contribution of each of these components to sensory coding and behavior is an open question in neuroscience. Here we present a novel approach to decompose the information encoded in the temporal structure of a spike train into the unique, complementary information contained in its different temporal scale components. We do this by analytically inferring the derivative of the information with respect to the precision with which the neural activity is measured. We demonstrate that the negative of this derivative represents the non-redundant information carried by each temporal scale and therefore constitutes an exact breakdown of the total information. The proposed approach, which we called Information Jitter Derivative (IJD) method, uses a jitter procedure to manipulate the precision of the neural activity and allows to precisely identifying the relevant timescales in the encoding of the stimulus information. We validated the IJD method on simulated and real data. In particular, we show that the IJD is able to uncover the different strategies used by the retinal ganglion cells of the axolotl salamander to encode information about different visual features. Importantly, we found that coarse and fine spatial features are encoded into different temporal scales. The Information Jitter Derivative method thus provides a way of studying in detail the information processing capabilities of a multiplexed neural code by breaking down the temporal information contained in the neural activity into its unique, complementary temporal scale components.

Prostitution and the construction of female identity

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Prostitution Women -- Identity

description: In the modern and postmodern worlds, most people see sex work as something on the fringes of society, yet prostitution and its history reflect mainstream modern women's sexuality and sexual life in myriad ways. This paper will examine how sex work exemplifies constructs of female identity. Writings and other cultural artifacts about prostitution are especially informative about social views of women because prostitutes reflect socio-cultural projections about women's relationship to money, sex, and power. Through language, popular culture, and social norms, in American culture women are frequently and consistently perceived and portrayed as products in a sexual-economic exchange. My paper is necessarily feminist in that it discusses the objectification of women and asserts that such objectification exists. By also using social constructionism to approach how identity, particularly sexual identity, is shaped by social forces in this case, we see this construction through the history of sex work. It will draw upon scholarly writings on prostitution, writings by prostitutes themselves, American pop culture, blogs, magazines, film, artwork (including erotica) and personal interviews.

Partial weight bearing

description: Tibial fractures account for half a million hospitalizations per year. Although clinical treatment of tibial fractures requires immobilization of the affected limb and partial weight bearing (PWB) prescriptions, the effects of this treatment protocol on gait and muscle activity have not been studied. This study aimed to provide the first comprehensive biomechanical analysis of changes in muscle activity and gait parameters induced by immobilization and PWB. Fifteen participants were recruited to walk across a pair of force plates in a motion capture lab under five different walking conditions: normal walking, immobilization without PWB, and immobilization with 25%, 50%, and 75% PWB. Motion was captured using 15 tracking balls with a ten-camera system, and muscle activity was quantified using surface electromyography on eight different muscle groups in the leg. Kinematic data revealed that immobilization and PWB decreased participant cadence and increased ratio of time spent on the immobilized limb during a single gait cycle. Kinetic data showed generally poor patient compliance with PWB prescriptions and no statistically significant difference between 25% PWB and normal walking conditions. Additionally, statistically significant differences were found in the soleus, hamstrings, and rectus femoris upon immobilization and PWB. These results reveal for the first time the short-term influences of immobilization and PWB on lower leg muscles and gait parameters.

description: In this article, we document version 0.1 of the PanScales code for parton shower simulations. With the help of a few examples, we discuss basic usage of the code, including tests of logarithmic accuracy of parton showers. We expose some of the numerical techniques underlying the logarithmic tests and include a description of how users can implement their own showers within the framework. Some of the simpler logarithmic tests can be performed in a few minutes on a modern laptop. As an early step towards phenomenology, we also outline some aspects of a preliminary interface to Pythia, for access to its hard matrix elements and its hadronisation modules.
