description: Background: Physiological and blood biomarker changes could give new insights into brain injury mechanisms associated with paediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery. Objectives: This thesis aimed to characterise physiological and blood biomarker changes associated with paediatric CHD interventions. Methods: A systematic review was performed to investigate the incidence of perioperative brain MRI findings from studies that had conducted both pre- and post-surgery brain MRI. As preparation for our clinical study, a neonatal TCD probe holder was developed, and the accuracy of our TCD equipment was verified through development of a Doppler phantom mimicking the middle cerebral artery. Finally, a prospective observational study was conducted involving measurement of pre-, intra- and post-operative cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), physiological monitoring, analysis of blood-based brain injury and inflammatory biomarkers, and brain MRI in infants undergoing CHD interventions (on-pump, off-pump, and catheterisation). Results: Our systematic review demonstrated that new brain MRI findings are typically present in 51% of infants following CHD surgery. Our in vitro study provided a better understand of TCD CBFV measurements and revealed differences between manufacturers at high velocities. CBFV monitoring using TCD at various perioperative time-points in 38 CHD infants revealed differences in cerebral haemodynamics between CHD repair groups. Analysis of 12 blood-based brain injury and inflammatory biomarkers in 20 infants revealed high levels of biomarkers, especially in infants undergoing on-pump surgery. Finally, a case-study is reported, which includes brain MRI findings in a 3-month-old infant who underwent trans-catheter CHD repair. Conclusion: TCD monitoring, blood biomarkers, and MRI, could be valuable in addressing knowledge gaps around perioperative brain injury and have the potential to support the evaluation of methods for improving outcome. Further work should also assess neurodevelopmental outcome for comparison with TCD, blood biomarkers, and brain MRI outcomes around the time of surgery in a larger group of patients.

description: Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman and early Anglo-Saxon remains were excavated and recorded during construction of the Ashby Folville to Thurcaston gas pipeline. The earlier prehistoric sites were described in the first part of this article; this part covers three sites with Roman remains, two of which also had evidence of Iron Age activity. These two sites, between Gaddesby and Queniborough, both had linear features and pits; the more westerly of the two also had evidence of a trackway and a single inhumation burial. The third site, between Rearsby and East Goscote, was particularly notable as it contained a 7m-deep stone-lined Roman well, which was fully excavated.
Gilbert's disc model with geostatistical marking
Creators: name: Ahlberg, Daniel

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study a variant of Gilbert's disc model, in which discs are positioned at the points of a Poisson process in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with radii determined by an underlying stationary and ergodic random field $φ:\mathbb{R}^2\to[0,\infty)$, independent of the Poisson process. When the random field is independent of the point process one often talks about 'geostatistical marking'. We examine how typical properties of interest in stochastic geometry and percolation theory, such as coverage probabilities and the existence of long-range connections, differ between Gilbert's model with radii given by some random field and Gilbert's model with radii assigned independently, but with the same marginal distribution. Among our main observations we find that complete coverage of $\mathbb{R}^2$ does not necessarily happen simultaneously, and that the spatial dependence induced by the random field may both increase as well as decrease the critical threshold for percolation.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 53, 8-29
description: From December 1960 until his untimely death in Autumn 1962, John Lomas was engaged in the excavation of a small ditched enclosure at national grid reference SK 423.266 lying about 300 yards from the present Donington Hall and 1-� miles west-south-west of Castle Donington Village. This report has been compiled from his surviving plans, notes, photographs and finds which are housed at Jewry Wall Museum1 (accession number 6IL 1963). The site is set in the midst of Donington Park and a consideration of its history is essential to the proper understanding of the site, but it must be stressed that the conclusions of both the fieldwork and documentary research are very much of an interim nature.

description: Accounting for undecided and uncertain voters is a challenging issue for predicting election results from public opinion polls. Undecided voters typify the uncertainty of swing voters in polls but are often ignored or allocated to each candidate in a simple, deterministic manner. Historically this may have been adequate because the undecided were comparatively small enough to assume that they do not affect the relative proportions of the decided voters. However, in the presence of high numbers of undecided voters, these static rules may in fact bias election predictions from election poll authors and meta-poll analysts. In this paper, we examine the effect of undecided voters in the 2016 US presidential election to the previous three presidential elections. We show there were a relatively high number of undecided voters over the campaign and on election day, and that the allocation of undecided voters in this election was not consistent with two-party proportional (or even) allocations. We find evidence that static allocation regimes are inadequate for election prediction models and that probabilistic allocations may be superior. We also estimate the bias attributable to polling agencies, often referred to as "house effects".

description: Literature reviews are essential for any researcher trying to keep up to date with the burgeoning software engineering literature. FAST$^2$ is a novel tool for reducing the effort required for conducting literature reviews by assisting the researchers to find the next promising paper to read (among a set of unread papers). This paper describes FAST$^2$ and tests it on four large software engineering literature reviews conducted by Wahono (2015), Hall (2012), Radjenović (2013) and Kitchenham (2017). We find that FAST$^2$ is a faster and robust tool to assist researcher finding relevant SE papers which can compensate for the errors made by humans during the review process. The effectiveness of FAST$^2$ can be attributed to three key innovations: (1) a novel way of applying external domain knowledge (a simple two or three keyword search) to guide the initial selection of papers---which helps to find relevant research papers faster with less variances; (2) an estimator of the number of remaining relevant papers yet to be found---which in practical settings can be used to decide if the reviewing process needs to be terminated; (3) a novel self-correcting classification algorithm---automatically corrects itself, in cases where the researcher wrongly classifies a paper.

The evidence suggests that only part of a much larger group of material, constituting a Pagan Anglo-Saxon cemetery, was recovered. It should be noted that although often referred to as 'Birstall' the site is, in fact, in Wanlip parish.
Notwithstanding Bohr, the Reasons for QBism

description: Without Niels Bohr, QBism would be nothing. But QBism is not Bohr. This paper attempts to show that, despite a popular misconception, QBism is no minor tweak to Bohr's interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is something quite distinct. Along the way, we lay out three tenets of QBism in some detail: 1) The Born Rule---the foundation of what quantum theory means for QBism---is a normative statement. It is about the decision-making behavior any individual agent should strive for; it is not a descriptive "law of nature" in the usual sense. 2) All probabilities, including all quantum probabilities, are so subjective they never tell nature what to do. This includes probability-1 assignments. Quantum states thus have no "ontic hold" on the world. 3) Quantum measurement outcomes just are personal experiences for the agent gambling upon them. Particularly, quantum measurement outcomes are not, to paraphrase Bohr, instances of "irreversible amplification in devices whose design is communicable in common language suitably refined by the terminology of classical physics." Finally, an explicit comparison is given between QBism and Bohr with regard to three subjects: a) The issue of the "detached observer" as it arose in a debate between Pauli and Bohr, b) Bohr's reply to Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, and c) Bohr's mature notion of "quantum phenomena." At the end, we discuss how Bohr's notion of phenomena may have something to offer the philosophy of William James: A physics from which to further develop his vision of the world---call it an ontology if you will---in which "new being comes in local spots and patches."

description: The measured $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} l \barν$ decay rates for light leptons ($l=e,μ$) constrain all $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ semileptonic form factors, by including both the leading and ${\cal O}(Λ_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b})$ subleading Isgur-Wise functions in the heavy quark effective theory. We perform a novel combined fit to the $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} l \barν$ decay distributions to predict the $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)} τ\barν$ rates and determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$. Most theoretical and experimental papers have neglected uncertainties in the predictions for form factor ratios at order $Λ_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b}$, which we include. We also calculate ${\cal O}(Λ_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b})$ and ${\cal O}(α_s)$ contributions to semileptonic $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} \ell \barν$ decays for all possible $b \to c$ currents. This result has not been available for the tensor current form factors, and for two of those, which are ${\cal O}(Λ_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b})$, the corrections are of the same order as approximations used in the literature. These results allow us to determine with improved precision how new physics may affect the $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} τ\barν$ rates. Our predictions can be systematically improved with more data; they need not rely on lattice QCD results, although these can be incorporated.

Year: 2023

description: Literature review: Doctoral and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students experience various challenges. This literature review explored stressors and coping in doctoral students. Four databases were searched, nine papers met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The review included qualitative studies and thematic synthesis was conducted to analyse findings. Four themes were identified under stressors: 1) Social disconnect 2) Institutional support and Academic Factors, 3) Individual factors and View of Self, and 4) Challenges and Uncertainty. Themes identified under coping included: 1) Seeking and feeling supported, 2) University resources, 3) Personal strategies, 4) Organisational factors. Findings suggest the importance of social support for doctoral/PhD students and opportunities for this whilst studying, as well as support in developing organisational and practical skills. Empirical study: This study aimed to explore the wellbeing, symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress including COVID-related stress in a sample of postgraduate students (n=290), to explore possible relationships of these variables with demographic factors and assess any differences in scores between home-based and international students, and between those who had and had not accessed services. A cross-sectional survey was used. Home students scored significantly higher stress and covid-related stress levels than international students with small effect sizes, so may not be of great clinical relevance. Those who reported accessing services scored significantly higher in depression, anxiety and stress scores and lower wellbeing when compared to those who reported they did not access services ,with medium to large effect sizes. Older age and being a Master’s student were associated with higher wellbeing, lower stress and COVID-19 related stress. Conclusions should be interpreted cautiously due to limitations. Clinical implications include the possible need for support for both home and international students. Further research is required on understanding reasons for not accessing support.

description: In May 1961 Leicestershire County Council were undertaking a road widening scheme on Watling Street near Lutterworth. About 100 yards north of the Moorbarns Filling Station Mr Kemp, the foreman, noticed that the mechanical excavator had exposed a single inhumanation burial (see figure 1). He carefully collected all the bones and associated objects and informed the Museums Service of his discovery. Mr John Daniell, Assistant Keeper of Antiquities, quickly visited the site and examined the area. No more burials were discovered, but a penannular brooch evidently associated with the skeleton was recovered. The burial was about 2 feet (60cms) below the surface of the grass verge, very close to the edge of the present road. It lay in sandy soil. The bones and finds were added to the Leicester Museums collection and have the accession number A31 l.1961.

description: We study a simple one-loop induced neutrino mass model that contains both bosonic and fermionic dark matter candidates and has the capacity to explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment anomaly. We perform a comprehensive analysis by taking into account the relevant constraints of charged lepton flavor violation, electric dipole moments, and neutrino oscillation data. We examine the constraints from lepton flavor-changing $Z$ boson decays at one-loop level, particularly when the involved couplings contribute to the muon $g-2$. It is found that $\text{BR}(Z\to μτ)\simeq (10^{-7}$ - $10^{-6})$ while $\text{BR}(τ\toμγ)\lesssim 10^{-11}$ in the fermionic dark matter scenario. The former can be probed by the precision measurement of the $Z$ boson at future lepton colliders.

description: We address the problem of using hand-drawn sketches to create exaggerated deformations to faces in videos, such as enlarging the shape or modifying the position of eyes or mouth. This task is formulated as a 3D face model reconstruction and deformation problem. We first recover the facial identity and expressions from the video by fitting a face morphable model for each frame. At the same time, user's editing intention is recognized from input sketches as a set of facial modifications. Then a novel identity deformation algorithm is proposed to transfer these facial deformations from 2D space to the 3D facial identity directly while preserving the facial expressions. After an optional stage for further refining the 3D face model, these changes are propagated to the whole video with the modified identity. Both the user study and experimental results demonstrate that our sketching framework can help users effectively edit facial identities in videos, while high consistency and fidelity are ensured at the same time.

The Steady Flow Around A Rotating Sphere with Variable Viscosity
Creators: name: Smith, Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The steady flow around a rotating sphere at large Reynolds numbers, up to 105, is obtained and analysed which has also been adapted with a temperature dependent viscosity. The Navier-Stokes problem is reduced to solving simpler PDE systems in distinct regions around the sphere where it is determined that the boundary layer approximation is once again an excellent model of the flow close to the sphere and far above the equator. Stewartson’s (1958) model of the equatorial flow is solved for the first time using a multi-grid method but it is found that this gives arise to unobserved behaviour compared to Calabretto et al (2019). A new model, based on Stewartson (1958), but amended with added azimuthal terms qualitatively describes the flow well compared to Calabretto et al (2019) and suggests that the flow in this area is more complicated than once thought. The radial jet is subsequently determined and displays the hallmark characteristics of jet flow however as the Reynolds number increases, the length of the jet slightly decreases. This is unexpected as one would expect the distance traversed by the jet to increase with Reynolds number, however this is suspected to be due to the position of the inlet but further tests are required for confirmation. The full flow has been compiled and is ready to be used in stability calculations or for any other use required for Reynolds numbers less than 105. Additionally, a temperature dependent viscosity has been successfully added to the steady flow where similar behaviour, with respect to the sensitivity parameter λ, is observed to that of the heated rotating disk flow examined by Miller et al (2020) and the heated sphere boundary layer by Molla & Hossain (2006); namely, that reducing outflow is favourable to the transfer of heat.

description: Quantum mechanics imposes a fundamental tradeoff between the accuracy of time measurements and the size of the systems used as clocks. When the measurements of different time intervals are combined, the errors due to the finite clock size accumulate, resulting in an overall inaccuracy that grows with the complexity of the setup. Here we introduce a method that in principle eludes the accumulation of errors by coherently transferring information from a quantum clock to a quantum memory of the smallest possible size. Our method could be used to measure the total duration of a sequence of events with enhanced accuracy, and to reduce the amount of quantum communication needed to stabilize clocks in a quantum network.

description: A new architecture of an artificial neural network that helps to generate longer melodic patterns is introduced alongside with methods for post-generation filtering. The proposed approach called variational autoencoder supported by history is based on a recurrent highway gated network combined with a variational autoencoder. Combination of this architecture with filtering heuristics allows generating pseudo-live acoustically pleasing and melodically diverse music.

description: We investigate existentially closed models (of a quite arbitrary theory) equipped which an action of a fixed group G. We embed these structures in a monster model D of some well-rounded theory and describe them as PAC substructures of D. Assuming that the class of these existentially closed models is elementary, we show that, under the assumption of having bounded models, its theory is simple and eliminates quantifiers up to some existential formulas - similar to ACFA. Moreover, it codes finite sets and allows a geometric elimination of imaginaries, but not always a weak elimination of imaginaries.

St. Mary's Chapel Brentingby

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 54, 1-13
description: Brentingby Chapel lies some H miles to the east of Melton Mowbray, overlooking the Eye Valley. The village community is now extremely small and could not support the Chapel which became redundant in the 1950s. The condition of the building seriously deteriorated until in 1978 it was purchased for conversion into a house. A small trial excavation was carried out in 1972-3 by P. Liddle, S. R. Hughes and N. Moon to assess the archaeological potential of the site. Lack of time and resources prevented the total excavation that the site properly demanded, but as a plan of the early building could be recovered without damaging the stratigraphy, this was achieved. A watching brief has been maintained by the Leicestershire Museums Archaeological Survey Team during the conversion and this work is included in the report.

description: There exists an absolute constant $δ> 0$ such that for all $q$ and all subsets $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q$ of the finite field with $q$ elements, if $|A| > q^{2/3 - δ}$, then \[ |(A-A)(A-A)| = |\{ (a -b) (c-d) : a,b,c,d \in A\}| > \frac{q}{2}. \] Any $δ< 1/13,542$ suffices for sufficiently large $q$. This improves the condition $|A| > q^{2/3}$, due to Bennett, Hart, Iosevich, Pakianathan, and Rudnev, that is typical for such questions. Our proof is based on a qualitatively optimal characterisation of sets $A,X \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q$ for which the number of solutions to the equation \[ (a_1-a_2) = x (a_3-a_4) \, , \; a_1,a_2, a_3, a_4 \in A, x \in X \] is nearly maximum. A key ingredient is determining exact algebraic structure of sets $A, X$ for which $|A + XA|$ is nearly minimum, which refines a result of Bourgain and Glibichuk using work of Gill, Helfgott, and Tao. We also prove a stronger statement for \[ (A-B)(C-D) = \{ (a -b) (c-d) : a \in A, b \in B, c \in C, d \in D\} \] when $A,B,C,D$ are sets in a prime field, generalising a result of Roche-Newton, Rudnev, Shkredov, and the authors.

description: We investigate the terminal-pairability problem in the case when the base graph is a complete bipartite graph, and the demand graph is a (not necessarily bipartite) multigraph on the same vertex set. In computer science, this problem is known as the edge-disjoint paths problem. We improve the lower bound on the maximum value of $Δ(D)$ which still guarantees that the demand graph $D$ has a realization in $K_{n,n}$. We also solve the extremal problem on the number of edges, i.e., we determine the maximum number of edges which guarantees that a demand graph is realizable in $K_{n,n}$.

Single-molecule dynamics of human mitochondrial transcription

description: Mitochondria are the major source of energy production in the eukaryotic cell, and mitochondrial transcription is often dysregulated in cancers, ageing, and neurodegenerative diseases. Dissection of mitochondrial transcription at singlemolecule resolution – from initiation to escape to elongation – can provide new insights into mitochondrial transcriptional control and provide new methods to the field of real-time single-molecule spectroscopy. I have developed the first singlemolecule system to dissect transcription by the human mitochondrial RNA polymerase (RNAP), directly visualizing interactions between human mtRNAP and transcription factors TFAM, TFB2M, and TEFM, engaged in initiation and elongation from the Light Stand Promoter (LSP). My work revealed that mtRNAP preinitiation complexes assemble sequentially from monomeric components. TFAM binds to LSP first and recruits mtRNAP, which then recruits FB2M. Upon mtRNAP escape, TFB2M dissociates and immediately gets replaced by TEFM. I have measured all the characteristic binding and dissociation rates for all of the proteins involved, and have identified two key limiting steps in mtRNAP initiation: (i) mtRNAP recruitment to LSP is a slow process (kon ~= 1.1x105 M-1 s-1), consistent with TFAM finding and bending promoter DNA before recruiting mtRNAP; (ii) TFB2M makes several attempts to bind to mtRNAP and to, presumably, melt the promoter – at an overall initiation rate coefficient ~= 2.3x106 M-1 s-1. My measurements provide benchmarks for future analyses of mtRNAP transcription in live cells. In addition, methods and sensors developed will benefit researchers focused on long-term single-molecule imaging of functional molecular interactions in real-time.
