title: DEPRECATED: AN EVALUATION OF THE MENTAL HEALTH OF PRE- AND POST-OPERATIVE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS PATIENTS
Creators: name: HACKING, BELINDA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: Coronary artery disease and bypass surgery can have a major impact on many aspects of patients' lives. A substantial proportion of cardiac patients experience high levels of psychological morbidity and in many cases, this is not closely related to physical symptoms. From the current evidence it is not yet possible to reliably identify the factors that contribute to the development of patients' poor mental health. In this investigation, a detailed description of patients' social, psychological and medical history was gained both before and after surgery. Having had distressing experiences in the Intensive Care Unit was highly correlated with psychological morbidity six months after surgery. These findings were considered in relation to psychological theories of depression and anxiety in order to better understand the distress experienced by cardiac patients.

title: Outliving Obsolescence: Longevity, Ideology, and Style in Soviet Mass Housing
Creators: name: Schlecht, Elise E.
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: The Soviet concept of planned architectural obsolescence is elusive. In Soviet literature, it is little more than a footnote. In Western architectural literature, it is resoundingly absent. This paper aims to rectify this oversight, examining how the predetermination of building lifespans affected attitudes toward residential design and construction in Soviet Russia and in the lives of Soviet citizens. Of particular concern is the aesthetic implementation of ideology in the generational development of prefabricated micro-neighborhoods, or mikroraiony, the meanings attached to their planned destruction, and the ultimate significance of their endurance beyond the dates of their planned destruction. This work analyzes the technological development of Soviet prefabricated mikroraiony to elucidate the political underpinnings that simultaneously guided technological and design innovation and fueled ideological obsolescence of previous types. By presenting a series of case studies of the dynamics of post-Stalinist housing blocks and mikroraiony as codified in Stroitelnye normy i pravila [Building Codes and Regulations], longevity schedules, and material grades, this work establishes how the flexibility of the typology of Soviet prefabricated residential architecture facilitated the imposition of state ideology into public space. The planned destruction of material remnants of that ideology in favor of new vestiges of a more advanced socialism would have been the ultimate marker of socialist progress. Archival sources are further consulted to contrast these intentions with the reality of Soviet Russian mass housing and the tumultuous relationships between residents and their homes. The concept of the repair society is extended to the macroscopic level to explain the material-emotional considerations underlying the 2017 protests against the demolition of Soviet-era housing in Moscow. Despite the trauma associated with the mutually abrasive material environment that is Soviet prefabricated mass housing, the people have been unwilling to sacrifice their long-standing and often contentious relationships with “obsolete” buildings. As such relationships existed and continue to exist irrespective of typological advancement, this work interrogates the usefulness of the type/model paradigm in the differentiation of architecture and buildings. Ultimately, the frictional experiential relationship between user and structure is proposed as a more accurate determinant in the Soviet Russian case.

description: We study a two dimensional system of electrons with Rashba coupling in the constant magnetic field $B$ and confining potential. We algebraically diagonalize the corresponding Hamiltonian to end up with the solutions of the energy spectrum. In terms of two kinds of operator we construct two symmetries and discuss the filling of the shells with electrons for strong and weak $B$. Subsequently, we show that our system is sharing some common features with quantum optics where the exact operator solutions for the basics Jaynes-Cummings variables are derived from our results. An interesting limit is studied and the corresponding quantum dynamics is recovered.

description: A novel aromatic compound, grandiuvarone B (5-acetoxy-3-benzoyloxymethyl-5H-oxepin-4-one), along with a known compound grandiuvarone A (5-acetoxy-6-benzoyloxymethyl-5H-oxepin-4-one) were isolated from methanol extracts of Desmos chinensis leaves. Their structures were determined by various spectroscopic techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) and circular dichroism (CD). Grandiuvarone A and grandiuvarone B are isomers and the S configuration of grandiuvarone B was reported for the first time. We then determined their antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus. Results revealed that grandiuvarone B exhibited better antifungal activity against A. flavus, with MIC values of 0.01 mg/mL compared to grandiuvarone A (MIC values of 0.02 mg/mL). In the presence of each active compound at 160 μg/g of aquafeed, A. flavus growth was completely inhibited. Grandiuvarone B also showed antibacterial activity against the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.

Has the international human rights paradigm failed lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people? If so, what can be done to fix it?
Creators: name: Djordjevic, Aleksandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Two basic human rights principles are the prohibition against discrimination and the guarantee of equal and effective protection against discrimination on any ground to all people. However, these principles have not been applied equally to those who face discrimination based on sexual identity. There is still a prescribed death penalty in eight countries for homosexual behavior and homosexual sex is criminalized in approximately 80 countries. In Uganda there is an ongoing debate about a proposed “anti-homosexuality bill,” which would inflict the death penalty on repeat offenders. In Russia, Moscow, gay Pride has been banned for the next 100 years. The goal of this thesis is to explore the power and weakness of international human rights protections for sexual minorities using Serbia, a transitional country, as a case study and to recommend best practices for fostering change. I assess the situation in Serbia by analysing the formal domestic and international legal framework in comparison to the social outcomes on the ground, as manifested by four years of Pride events. Until 2010, attempted annual Pride events were banned every year due to the “high-level of risk.” In 2010, the first Gay Pride took place in Belgrade inside a ring of protection of 5,000 police officers. In 2011 and 2012, Pride was banned once again. I demonstrate that the successful 2010 outcome – when Pride actually took place – had much to do with pressure from the international community. However, it did not result in very much positive and measurable social change on the ground. My research suggests that law cannot achieve change on its own and that alternative “out of the legal box” methods are needed. I suggest creating long term educational initiatives that can generate the necessary pressure from inside the state.

Power Spectral Distribution of the BL Lacertae Object S5 0716+714

description: Observational data in the BVRI bands of the variable BL Lacertae Object S5 0716+714 is discussed from the point of view of its Power Spectral Distribution (PSD). Analysis of the noise properties exhibited by the source. Assessment of the validity of a turbulent model. We fitted a model of the type $P(f) = βf^{-α} + γ$ to the data for two null hypothesis and calculated the Bayesian p parameter for the fits. Different theoretical models are discussed and applied to these data and a special focus is placed on the MagnetoRotational Instability (MRI). The $P(f) = βf^{-α}$ fit provides slopes with values ranging from 0.376 to 2.237, with medium values for each band of $\barα_B = 1.756$, $\barα_V = 1.704$, $\barα_R = 1.780$ and $\barα_I = 1.272$ respectively. An interval for the calculated effective $α_{SS}$ parameter is obtained to be $[0.18,1.72]\cdot 10^{-2}$, corresponding to the order of magnitude previously inferred through both observational and numerical investigations. Structure function analysis, fractal dimension analysis and DFT analysis (all performed in other studies) plus our own analysis establish that the source is turbulent in a nontrivial way, i.e. there is "intrinsic" noise superimposed on the deterministic behavior of the source. We propose that embedding a weakly stochastic magnetic field component in the MRI (MagnetoRotational Instability) framework and taking into account stochastic reconnection of magnetic field lines might explain microvariability in AGN objects.

description: We study Bell inequality tests with entanglement between a coherent-state field in a cavity and a two-level atom. In order to detect the cavity field for such a test, photon on/off measurements and photon number parity measurements, respectively, are investigated. When photon on/off measurements are used, at least 50% of detec- tion efficiency is required to demonstrate violation of the Bell inequality. Photon number parity measurements for the cavity field can be effectively performed using ancillary atoms and an atomic detector, which leads to large degrees of Bell violations up to Cirel'son's bound. We also analyze decoherence effects in both field and atomic modes and discuss conditions required to perform a Bell inequality test free from the locality loophole.

Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2010

description: Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/647 on 14.03.2017 by CS (TIS)
description: This thesis sought to explore Total quality management (TQM) implementation and barriers that need to be overcome due to differences between societal cultures, which have become a subject of intense discussion in the wake of the globalisation of the world economy. lnter-societal cultural barriers to TQM implementation were contrasted against the accepted organisational cultural barriers, which are well documented in established literature on this topic. A case study for the analysis was taken from the Libyan construction sector, where TQM is increasingly being reported as being adopted by companies keen to solve quality problems in their industry. This research explored the barriers that exist and that have acted to hinder the adoption of TQM practices using an in-depth survey of two Libyan construction companies (A&B). The findings of this research are presented as a conceptual framework upon which proactive measure may be planned to improve TQM adoption and which may also act as a guide for further research. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used to obtain primary and secondary data for the research and the TQM model framework was successfully used in a self assessment case study of companies (A&B) in Libya. The survey was able to identify critical barriers that were assessed in relation to other published data on inter-societal and intra-organisational barriers so as to identity a number of barriers unique to the Libyan case study. The overall results indicated that the case study companies were in the early stages of TQM initiatives and that there were large areas for improvement to overcome the barriers.
Improving Noise Robustness in Subspace-based Joint Sparse Recovery

description: In a multiple measurement vector problem (MMV), where multiple signals share a common sparse support and are sampled by a common sensing matrix, we can expect joint sparsity to enable a further reduction in the number of required measurements. While a diversity gain from joint sparsity had been demonstrated earlier in the case of a convex relaxation method using an $l_1/l_2$ mixed norm penalty, only recently was it shown that similar diversity gain can be achieved by greedy algorithms if we combine greedy steps with a MUSIC-like subspace criterion. However, the main limitation of these hybrid algorithms is that they often require a large number of snapshots or a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for an accurate subspace as well as partial support estimation. One of the main contributions of this work is to show that the noise robustness of these algorithms can be significantly improved by allowing sequential subspace estimation and support filtering, even when the number of snapshots is insufficient. Numerical simulations show that a novel sequential compressive MUSIC (sequential CS-MUSIC) that combines the sequential subspace estimation and support filtering steps significantly outperforms the existing greedy algorithms and is quite comparable with computationally expensive state-of-art algorithms.

"A unique approach to the liability of P2P intermediaries" : a comparative study of copyright liability of providers of peer-to-peer file sharing services in Canada and Sweden
Creators: name: Svanberg, Annika
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Most comparative studies concerning copyright liability of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) look at the United States and a larger European country, such as France or the United Kingdom, the European Union generally, and/or an Asian country. Only a few comparative studies take into account the Canadian approach to ISP liability, and there is no comparative study dealing with Swedish ISP liability laws. Moreover, only a few studies in the field deal with copyright liability in the context of illegal file sharing. In an attempt to fill that gap in the literature, this thesis compares, by using a functional comparative methodology, the Swedish and Canadian ISP liability laws’ application to providers of peer-to-peer file sharing services (P2P intermediaries). The problem that this thesis seeks to address is this: To what extent may a P2P intermediary be held liable, under Swedish and Canadian law, for copyright infringement committed by those using its service, and what liability approach – the Swedish or Canadian – is the better one? The liability of P2P intermediaries under Swedish law depends on the Swedish doctrine on contributory liability in copyright law, as it was recently interpreted by the Swedish Court of Appeal in the law suit against The Pirate Bay – one of the world’s largest P2P intermediaries. By contrast, P2P intermediary liability in Canada is determined by the recently adopted Copyright Modernization Act, establishing unique concepts, such as liability for enabling copyright infringement, and a so called ‘notice and notice’ system under which ISPs must forward copyright owners’ notices of claimed infringement to its subscribers/users. Through a comparative analysis of: the Swedish doctrine on contributory copyright liability and the Canadian enabling provision; and the Canadian notice and notice system and the corresponding Swedish system addressing claims of copyright infringements from copyright owners, this thesis concludes that Canada offers a more effective, well-balanced and predictable liability standard and tool for curbing copyright infringement committed by means of illegal file sharing, than Sweden. It is therefore recommended that Sweden and other countries shift focus from the United States and European Union ISP liability laws to the unique Canadian approach.

description: We study horizontal subvarieties $Z$ of a Griffiths period domain $\mathbb D$. If $Z$ is defined by algebraic equations, and if $Z$ is also invariant under a large discrete subgroup in an appropriate sense, we prove that $Z$ is a Hermitian symmetric domain $\mathcal D$, embedded via a totally geodesic embedding in $\mathbb D$. Next we discuss the case when $Z$ is in addition of Calabi-Yau type. We classify the possible VHS of Calabi-Yau type parametrized by Hermitian symmetric domains $\mathcal D$ and show that they are essentially those found by Gross and Sheng-Zuo, up to taking factors of symmetric powers and certain shift operations. In the weight three case, we explicitly describe the embedding $Z\hookrightarrow \mathbb D$ from the perspective of Griffiths transversality and relate this description to the Harish-Chandra realization of $\mathcal D$ and to the Korányi-Wolf tube domain description. There are further connections to homogeneous Legendrian varieties and the four Severi varieties of Zak.

description: We consider the ray limit of propagating ultrasound waves in three-dimensional bodies made from an homogeneous, isotropic, elastic material. Using a Monte Carlo approach, we simulate the propagation and proliferation of elastic rays using realistic angle dependent reflection coefficients, taking into account mode conversion and ray-splitting. For a few simple geometries, we analyse the long time equilibrium distribution focussing on the energy ratio between compressional and shear waves. Finally, we study the travel time statistics, i.e. the distribution of the amount of time a given trajectory spends as a compressional wave, as compared to the total travel time. These results are intimately related to recent elastodynamics experiments on Coda wave interferometry by Lobkis and Weaver [Phys. Rev. E 78, 066212 (2008)].

description: We present a general formalism describing a propagation of an arbitrary multiparticle wave packet in a one-dimensional multimode chiral channel coupled to an ensemble of emitters which are distributed at arbitrary positions. The formalism is based on a direct and exact resummation of diagrammatic series for the multiparticle scattering matrix. It is complimentary to the Bethe Ansatz and to approaches based on equations of motion, and it reveals a simple and transparent structure of scattering states. In particular, we demonstrate how this formalism works on various examples, including scattering of one- and two-photon states off two- and three-level emitters, off an array of emitters as well as scattering of coherent light. We argue that this formalism can be constructively used for study of scattering of an arbitrary initial photonic state off emitters with arbitrary degree of complexity.

description: What follows is a brief commentary to Dan Sperber's plenary lecture at ECAP7 "The deconstruction of social unreality". Sperber's main criticism to Searle's socia lontology is that Searle attributes a causal role to mere Cambridge properties (in Sperber'sexample: Jones dies, so the rest of the world gains the Cambridge status of "Jones' survivors"). Sperber then argues that declarations do not create institutional facts causally, criticizes the Serlean theory of recognition/acceptance and put forward his thesis using the concept cognitive causal chains.

Verità e giustificazione degli asserti temporali

Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Filosofia Analitica Junior
Year: 2011

description: Il rapporto tra verità e temporalità, discusso dai pensatori antichi e medievali, è tornato centrale nell’indagine logica solo negli ultimi decenni, dopo essere stato a lungo eclissato dalla volontà di "detemporalizzare" lo studio del ragionamento formale. In queste pagine cercheremo di analizzare alcuni aspetti logici e filosofici della questione, organizzando il lavoro in tre parti. La prima parte è dedicata al trattamento di elementari nozioni di tempo nei sistemi formali, con particolare attenzione per le proposte avanzate alla metà del secolo scorso da Arthur Norman Prior. La seconda parte riguarda alcuni problemi dovuti all’uso di una semantica bivalente per gli asserti temporali: l’esigenza di chiarificare la teoria corrispondentista della verità e il superamento dello scoglio del determinismo. Nella terza parte, infine, ci concentreremo su approcci semantici alternativi: le logiche a più valori (Łukasiewicz, Prior), il metodo delle supervalutazioni (Thomason, Van Fraassen) e le idee giustificazioniste (Dummett). Vedremo che questi approcci forniscono spunti interessanti per un trattamento unitario delle nozioni temporali e modali.

description: Positive feedback and cooperativity in the regulation of gene expression are generally considered to be necessary for obtaining bistable expression states. Recently, a novel mechanism of bistability termed emergent bistability has been proposed which involves only positive feedback and no cooperativity in the regulation. An additional positive feedback loop is effectively generated due to the inhibition of cellular growth by the synthesized proteins. The mechanism, demonstrated for a synthetic circuit, may be prevalent in natural systems also as some recent experimental results appear to suggest. In this paper, we study the effects of additive and multiplicative noise on the dynamics governing emergent bistability. The calculational scheme employed is based on the Langevin and Fokker-Planck formalisms. The steady state probability distributions of protein levels and the mean first passage times are computed for different noise strengths and system parameters. In the region of bistability, the bimodal probability distribution is shown to be a linear combination of a lognormal and a Gaussian distribution. The variances of the individual distributions and the relative weights of the distributions are further calculated for varying noise strengths and system parameters. The experimental relevance of the model results is also pointed out.

description: The diffusion of particles in confining walls forming a tube is discussed. Such a transport phenomenon is observed in biological cells and porous media. We consider the case in which the tube is winding with curvature and torsion, and the thickness of the tube is sufficiently small compared with its curvature radius. We discuss how geomerical quantities appear in a quasi-one-dimensional diffusion equation.

description: In this paper we set forth a novel connection between the Bennett 1992 protocol and a Bell inequality. This allows us to extend the usual prepare-and-measure protocol to its entanglement-based formulation. We exploit a recent result in the frame of device-independent quantum key distribution to provide a simple, model-independent, security proof for the new protocol. The minimum efficiency required for a practical implementation of the scheme is the lowest reported to date.

title: Spiritual and Cultural Sustainability: Documenting Heritage in Antakya, Turkey, after the 2023 Earthquake
Creators: name: Yildirim, Cicek Karatas
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: In the wake of the devastating February 6, 2023, earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, this study documents and analyzes the impact on Antakya’s cultural heritage, focusing on the Habibi Neccar Mosque and the St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Church. Employing a critical heritage studies approach, we explore both tangible and intangible heritage, as well as the relationship between the two, in a post-disaster context. Our mixed-methods approach includes 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and one-on-one interviews, capturing both physical damage and socio-cultural impact. This methodology reveals the profound interconnectedness of physical structures and cultural memory—at first individual and eventually generational. Despite physical destruction, this research underscores the remarkable resilience of the community’s intangible heritage, manifest in the determination to maintain cultural practices and rebuild. This resilience could be bolstered by preservation efforts targeted at intangible heritage post-disaster, and could also be leveraged to help document, preserve, and rebuild tangible heritage damaged in times of disaster. This study contributes to cultural heritage preservation discourse by advocating for an integrated approach that considers both tangible and intangible elements, emphasizing community involvement in preservation efforts. It provides a framework for understanding and preserving cultural heritage that extends beyond physical reconstruction, highlighting the role of collective memory and community resilience in sustaining cultural identity post-disaster. These findings have significant implications for heritage preservation strategies in disaster-prone regions worldwide.

description: This is a thesis on outdoor monocular visual SLAM in natural environments. The techniques proposed herein aim at estimating camera pose and 3D geometrical structure of the surrounding environment. This problem statement was motivated by the GPS-denied scenario for a sea-surface vehicle developed at Plymouth University named Springer. The algorithms proposed in this thesis are mainly adapted for the Springer’s environmental conditions, so that the vehicle can navigate on a vision based localization system when GPS is not available; such environments include estuarine areas, forests and the occasional semi-urban territories. The research objectives are constrained versions of the ever-abiding problems in the fields of multiple view geometry and mobile robotics. The research is proposing new techniques or improving existing ones for problems such as scene reconstruction, relative camera pose recovery and filtering, always in the context of the aforementioned landscapes (i.e., rivers, forests, etc.). Although visual tracking is paramount for the generation of data point correspondences, this thesis focuses primarily on the geometric aspect of the problem as well as with the probabilistic framework in which the optimization of pose and structure estimates takes place. Besides algorithms, the deliverables of this research should include the respective implementations and test data for these algorithms in the form of a software library and a dataset containing footage of estuarine regions taken from a boat, along with synchronized sensor logs. This thesis is not the final analysis on vision based navigation. It merely proposes various solutions for the localization problem of a vehicle navigating in natural environments either on land or on the surface of the water. Although these solutions can be used to provide position and orientation estimates when GPS is not available, they have limitations and there is still a vast new world of ideas to be explored.
Next-to-leading order contributions to the pole mass of gluino in minimal gauge mediation

description: We compute the pole mass of the gluino in the minimal gauge mediation to two-loop order. The pole mass of the gluino begins to arise at one-loop order and the two-loop order correction shifts the leading order pole mass by 20% or even more. This shift is much larger than the expected accuracy of the mass determination at the LHC, and should be reckoned with for precision studies on the SUSY breaking parameters.
