description: The last glacial period was punctuated by a series of abrupt climate shifts, the so-called Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events. The frequency of DO events varied in time, supposedly because of changes in background climate conditions. Here, the influence of external forcings on DO events is investigated with statistical modelling. We assume two types of simple stochastic dynamical systems models (double-well potential-type and oscillator-type), forced by the northern hemisphere summer insolation change and/or the global ice volume change. The model parameters are estimated by using the maximum likelihood method with the NGRIP Ca$^{2+}$ record. The stochastic oscillator model with at least the ice volume forcing reproduces well the sample autocorrelation function of the record and the frequency changes of warming transitions in the last glacial period across MISs 2, 3, and 4. The model performance is improved with the additional insolation forcing. The BIC scores also suggest that the ice volume forcing is relatively more important than the insolation forcing, though the strength of evidence depends on the model assumption. Finally, we simulate the average number of warming transitions in the past four glacial periods, assuming the model can be extended beyond the last glacial, and compare the result with an Iberian margin sea-surface temperature (SST) record (Martrat et al., Science, vol. 317, p. 502, 2007). The simulation result supports the previous observation that abrupt millennial-scale climate changes in the penultimate glacial (MIS 6) are less frequent than in the last glacial (MISs 2-4). On the other hand, it suggests that the number of abrupt millennial-scale climate changes in older glacial periods (MISs 6, 8, and 10) might be larger than inferred from the SST record.

description: This is a scanned copy of an enumeration of Leucadendron laureolum, Kogelberg Plot 7. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: Neural networks that control reproduction must integrate social and hormonal signals, tune motivation, and invigorate social interactions. However, the neurocircuit mechanisms for these processes remain unresolved. The medial preoptic area (mPOA), an essential node for social behaviors and is comprised of molecularly-diverse neurons with widespread projections. Here, we identify a steroid-responsive subset of neurotensin (Nts) expressing mPOA neurons that interface with the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to form a socially-engaged reward circuit. Using in vivo 2-photon imaging in female mice, we show that mPOANts neurons preferentially encode attractive male cues compared to non-social appetitive stimuli. Ovarian hormone signals regulate both the physiological and cue encoding properties of these cells. Furthermore, optogenetic stimulation of mPOANts-VTA circuitry promotes rewarding phenotypes, social approach, and striatal dopamine release. Collectively, these data demonstrate that steroid-sensitive mPOA neurons encode ethologically-relevant stimuli and co-opt midbrain reward circuits to promote prosocial behavior critical for species survival.

We discuss the methods for the prediction of crystal structures, geometrical properties and large-scale screening of hypothetical MOFs, as well as their thermal and mechanical properties. A separate section deals with the simulation of adsorption of fluids and fluid mixtures in MOFs.
title: Using the past: Authenticity, reliability, and the role of archives in Barclays plc’s use of the past strategies
Creators: name: Jones, Ian
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: Recent scholarship in organisation studies has begun to address how organisations perceive and use their history. However, how organisations preserve and access their history, and how this affects how they are able to use their history is less researched. This thesis investigates how Barclays Group Archives (BGA) contribute to Barclays plc delivering its strategic objectives. It asks, how does BGA, as a specific unit of the organisation, facilitate the delivery of Barclays plc’s strategic objectives? The researcher was embedded in the archives, enabling the gathering of observational data on how BGA operate as well as a unique level of access to archival organisational records. These were used to target and gain access to Barclays plc employees to conduct interviews to ascertain how they used BGA’s resources and what benefits they felt BGA brought. Using interviews, observation, and other qualitative research methods, this thesis introduces archival science theory to the study of how organisations can benefit from using their history, introducing the archival science ideas of authenticity, reliability, usability, and integrity to inform the research on organisational memory and use of the past strategies. The thesis focuses on the period between 2012 and 2015, a time when Barclays plc made extensive use of their past in an attempt to manage and recover from the various scandals. It argues that BGA, and the archivists in particular, are integral to Barclays plc’s use of the past strategies, enabling Barclays plc to bolster their claims to be returning to a historically ‘authentic’ corporate culture that would inform the organisation’s strategies and behaviour going forward. Additionally, the archivists themselves act as the link between the information in the archives that forms part of Barclays plc’s organisational memory, enabling users to utilise this information and transforming the static memory held into the archives into dynamic memory that is then utilised by employees. The thesis highlights the importance of how organisations access the historical information that they use to inform their historical narratives, and the importance of the individuals that act as the link between those who are using the past in some way, and the repositories of historical information. The research findings presented in this thesis will be of interest to organisation studies scholars interested in how managers use history as well as to researchers who study corporate archives.

description: Multiple cortical areas contribute to visual processing in mice. However, the functional organization and development of higher visual areas are unclear. Here, we used intrinsic signal optical imaging and 2-photon calcium imaging to map visual responses in adult and developing mice. We found that visually driven activity was well-correlated among higher visual areas within two distinct subnetworks resembling the dorsal and ventral visual streams. Visual response magnitude in dorsal stream areas slowly increased over the first two weeks of visual experience. By contrast, ventral stream areas exhibited strong responses shortly after eye opening. Neurons in a dorsal stream area showed little change in their tuning sharpness to oriented gratings while those in a ventral stream area increased stimulus selectivity and expanded their receptive fields significantly. Together, these findings provide a functional basis for grouping subnetworks of mouse visual areas and revealed stream differences in the development of receptive field properties.

description: Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $n+1$. We demonstrate that $n$-component third-order Hamiltonian operators of differential-geometric type are parametrised by the algebraic variety of elements of rank $n$ in $S^2(Λ^2V)$ that lie in the kernel of the natural map $S^2(Λ^2V)\to Λ^4V$. Non-equivalent operators correspond to different orbits of the natural action of $SL(n+1)$. Based on this result, we obtain a classification of such operators for $n\leq 4$.

title: AUTOMATION AND RAPID ADOPTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE FIELD OF CONSULTING, AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE HUMAN WORKFORCE.
Creators: name: Desilva, Dulshan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: This doctoral thesis investigates an issue faced by the IT consultants and associates of Princeton Pragmatics, a small IT consulting services start-up in New Jersey, USA. Since the summer of 2017, the companies in the USA relying on IT solutions, particularly in sectors such as financial services, experienced a rapidly emerging trend adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and modern forms of automation. As a result, the IT professionals’ typical work is gradually becoming automated, threatening the demand for the IT consultants’ current skills. Hence, this research examines “what strategies could Princeton Pragmatics and its IT consultant partners pursue in response to emerging trends in the adoption of automation and AI technologies?” as its overarching research question. The unit of analysis of this research is the IT consultant, the typical kind of associate who works with Princeton Pragmatics to cater to their clients. Hence the research was conducted as collaborative action research, which involved the primary researcher being an insider participant. The action research consisted of four research cycles leading to activities done within the collaborative action research group formed among six Princeton Pragmatics associates. The action research group’s input was supplemented by seventeen recorded interviews with a different group of participants. By doing qualitative analysis on the data and using scholarly literature as a third voice, the researcher makes multiple findings related to the research problem. Through this analysis, the researcher discovers that experienced IT professionals can become vulnerable to three vicious cycles that can prevent them from remaining marketable. The analysis further revealed that it is necessary to employ attitude changes among IT professionals to avoid getting entangled in these vicious cycles. This research delivers an actionable model consisting of three heuristic devices used as a decision support tool by the IT consultants in this situation. Since not much research available on this topic currently, this study has many implications for IT practitioners. Also, quite notably, this is one of those action research conducted during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Due to the techniques used during the data collection, the research activities were not that much disrupted. Hence, this study has several axiological values to the scholarly community interested in action research.

description: We propose a hybrid system composed of a Majorana qubit and a nanomechanical resonator, implemented by a spin-orbit-coupled superconducting nanowire, using a set of static and oscillating ferromagnetic gates. The ferromagnetic gates induce Majorana bound states in the nanowire, which hybridize and constitute a Majorana qubit. Due to the oscillation of one of these gates, the Majorana qubit can be coherently rotated. By tuning the gate voltage to modulate the local spin-orbit coupling, it is possible to reach the resonance of the qubit-oscillator system for relatively strong couplings.

description: Despite the success of traditional network analysis, standard networks provide a limited representation of complex systems, which often include different types of relationships (or ‘multiplexity’) between their components. Such structural complexity has a significant effect on both dynamics and function. Throwing away or aggregating available structural information can generate misleading results and be a major obstacle towards attempts to understand complex systems. The recent multilayer approach for modelling networked systems explicitly allows the incorporation of multiplexity and other features of realistic systems. It allows one to couple different structural relationships by encoding them in a convenient mathematical object. It also allows one to couple different dynamical processes on top of such interconnected structures. The resulting framework plays a crucial role in helping to achieve a thorough, accurate understanding of complex systems. The study of multilayer networks has also revealed new physical phenomena that remain hidden when using ordinary graphs, the traditional network representation. Here we survey progress towards attaining a deeper understanding of spreading processes on multilayer networks, and we highlight some of the physical phenomena related to spreading processes that emerge from multilayer structure.

description: Genetically encoded calcium indicators for visualizing dynamic cellular activity have greatly expanded our understanding of the brain. However, due to light scattering properties of the brain as well as the size and rigidity of traditional imaging technology, in vivo calcium imaging has been limited to superficial brain structures during head fixed behavioral tasks. This limitation can now be circumvented by utilizing miniature, integrated microscopes in conjunction with an implantable microendoscopic lens to guide light into and out of the brain, thus permitting optical access to deep brain (or superficial) neural ensembles during naturalistic behaviors. Here, we describe procedural steps to conduct such imaging studies using mice. However, we anticipate the protocol can be easily adapted for use in other small vertebrates. Successful completion of this protocol will permit cellular imaging of neuronal activity and the generation of data sets with sufficient statistical power to correlate neural activity with stimulus presentation, physiological state, and other aspects of complex behavioral tasks. This protocol takes 6–11 weeks to complete.
Measurement of the underlying event activity using charged-particle jets in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A measurement of the underlying event (UE) activity in proton-proton collisions is performed using events with charged-particle jets produced in the central pseudorapidity region (abs(eta[jet]) < 2) and with transverse momentum 1<= pt[jet] < 100 GeV. The analysis uses a data sample collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The UE activity is measured as a function of pt[jet] in terms of the average multiplicity and scalar sum of transverse momenta (pt) of charged particles, with abs(eta) < 2 and pt > 0.5 GeV, in the azimuthal region transverse to the highest pt jet direction. By further dividing the transverse region into two regions of smaller and larger activity, various components of the UE activity are separated. The measurements are compared to previous results at 0.9 and 7 TeV, and to predictions of several Monte Carlo event generators, providing constraints on the modelling of the UE dynamics.

Creators: name: Badmos, Hammed
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Cell migration and epithelial maturation are central to normal development, whilst aberrant migration or loss of epithelial integrity are involved in a number of human diseases, including cancer and birth defects. We are studying these processes in the harmless fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, which has been intensively studied for century because of its many attractive features for genetic research. Importantly, Drosophila has proven to be a powerful system in which to identify novel molecules that are involved in both development and diseases. We have identified genes required for cell invasion and the maintenance of epithelial integrity that are conserved from Drosophila to humans. We have uncovered novel roles of these genes which may help guide studies in more complex organisms.

description: We analyze the one-dimensional periodic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in the language of paracontrolled distributions, giving an alternative viewpoint on the seminal results of Hairer. Apart from deriving a basic existence and uniqueness result for paracontrolled solutions to the KPZ equation we perform a thorough study of some related problems. We rigorously prove the links between KPZ equation, stochastic Burgers equation, and (linear) stochastic heat equation and also the existence of solutions starting from quite irregular initial conditions. We also build a partial link between energy solutions as introduced by Goncalves and Jara and paracontrolled solutions. Interpreting the KPZ equation as the value function of an optimal control problem, we give a pathwise proof for the global existence of solutions and thus for the strict positivity of solutions to the stochastic heat equation. Moreover, we study Sasamoto-Spohn type discretizations of the stochastic Burgers equation and show that their limit solves the continuous Burgers equation possibly with an additional linear transport term. As an application, we give a proof of the invariance of the white noise for the stochastic Burgers equation which does not rely on the Cole-Hopf transform.

Model selection for radiochromic film dosimetry

description: The purpose of this study was to find the most accurate model for radiochromic film dosimetry by comparing different channel independent perturbation models. A model selection approach based on (algorithmic) information theory was followed, and the results were validated using gamma-index analysis on a set of benchmark test cases. Several questions were addressed: (a) whether incorporating the information of the non-irradiated film, by scanning prior to irradiation, improves the results; (b) whether lateral corrections are necessary when using multichannel models; (c) whether multichannel dosimetry produces better results than single-channel dosimetry; (d) which multichannel perturbation model provides more accurate film doses. It was found that scanning prior to irradiation and applying lateral corrections improved the accuracy of the results. For some perturbation models, increasing the number of color channels did not result in more accurate film doses. Employing Truncated Normal perturbations was found to provide better results than using Micke-Mayer perturbation models.} Among the models being compared, the triple-channel model with Truncated Normal perturbations, net optical density as the response and subject to the application of lateral corrections was found to be the most accurate model. The scope of this study was circumscribed by the limits under which the models were tested. In this study, the films were irradiated with megavoltage radiotherapy beams, with doses from about 20 cGy to 600 cGy, entire (8 ${\rm inch}$ $\times$ 10 ${\rm inch}$) films were scanned, the functional form of the sensitometric curves was a polynomial and the different lots were calibrated using the plane-based method.
title: Investigation to assess the feasibility of using the GRI+ Compton Camera for Radioactive Waste Characterisation
Creators: name: Platt, Jaimie
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: The work presented in this thesis examines key scenarios that a gamma-ray imaging system may face when characterising radioactive waste contamination. The aim of this project is to show that a mobile Compton Camera Gamma-Ray Imaging (GRI+) system developed by the University of Liverpool for medical and nuclear decommissioning applications, can quantitatively assess data collected from industrially relevant measurements. GRI+ consists of Si(Li) and HPGe planar, electrically segmented detectors, and a third coaxial HPGE detector. The three detectors are mounted onto a mobile cart system, along with their mechanical cooling systems, power supply and the digital data acquisition system. The mobility of the GRI+ system allowed for the first set of ‘in situ’ measurements to take place in a room with a significantly high level of background radiation. A replication of a select few standard laboratory measurements showed no outstanding effect from the presence of the background radiation from analysis of the peak-to-total values. This could be significant in waste contamination scenarios where the influence of high-levels of background radiation could potentially affect the quality of the data. The imaging response of the detector system for a range of standoff distances was explored, with distances ranging from a minimum of 45 cm (the closest feasible distance the cart could achieve in measuring a source in a contamination scenario) to a maximum of 250 cm. 137Cs point sources were measured in various positions across the detector’s field of view at a standoff distance of 45 cm to assess its capability for measuring a non-uniform distributed sample. The average angular resolution across the range of 68 cm to 250 cm was determined to be 7.19 ± 0.26 degrees, a leading performance for a gamma-imaging system used today. The detector’s sensitivity to concrete material has been examined to provide a better understanding of the influence of scattering material on coincidence energy spectra, with a view of utilising this in future to increase the number of useable imageable events. The peak-to-total ratio was determined for the 662 keV full-energy peak from a 15.6 MBq 137Cs point source in each coincidence energy spectrum produced for differing thicknesses of concrete. A linear relationship is observed between the natural log of the peak-to-total ratio and the thickness of concrete, with a gradient of −0.066 obtained. These results indicate that GRI+ would be capable of waste characterisation measurements. However, further optimisation of the system is required, with the main focus being to overlay Compton images onto real photographic images. Potential improvements to GRI+ have been suggested and would be recommended before any future offsite measurements take place.

description: HIV-1 is a retrovirus that integrates into host chromatin and can remain transcriptionally quiescent in a pool of immune cells. This characteristic enables HIV-1 to evade both host immune responses and antiretroviral drugs, leading to persistent infection. Upon reactivation of proviral gene expression, HIV-1 envelope (HIV-1 Env) glycoproteins are expressed on the cell surface, transforming latently infected cells into targets for HIV-1 Env-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which can engage immune effector cells to kill productively infected CD4+ T cells and thus limit the spread of progeny virus. Recent innovations in antibody engineering have resulted in novel immunotherapeutics such as bispecific dual-affinity re-targeting (DART) molecules and other bi- and trispecific antibody designs that can recognize HIV-1 Env and recruit cytotoxic effector cells to kill CD4+ T cells latently infected with HIV‑1. Here, we review these immunotherapies, which are designed with the goal of curing HIV-1 infection.

Garcia State Forest

description: This is a scanned copy of a document on a line intercept in Garcia State Forest, Langeberg, site 3321CD/3. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: Questa miscellanea di saggi su Emil Ludwig Fackenheim (Halle 1916-Gerusalemme 2003) raccoglie, tra gli altri, gli interventi a un convegno sponsorizzato dal Master e dal Diploma in studi ebraici dell?Ucei (Unione delle comunit� ebraiche italiane), tenutosi a Roma nel 2016 in occasione del centenario della nascita di questo originale rabbino e filosofo tedesco. Sopravvissuto alla Shoah ed emigrato prima in Canada e poi in Israele, Fackenheim � divenuto nella seconda met� del Novecento uno dei maggiori teorici della resistenza alle forze di Auschwitz e ha formulato un nuovo precetto: �Non date una vittoria postuma a Hitler perdendo la speranza in Dio e nell?uomo�. Le sue riflessioni sul tiqqun ?olam ? la riparazione di un mondo ferito da un male senza precedenti ? e sul ritorno degli ebrei nella storia sono da considerarsi una pietra miliare del pensiero ebraico contemporaneo.

description: We consider six-dimensional supergravity with gauge group $SO(10)\times U(1)_A$, compactified on the orbifold $T^2 / \mathbb{Z}_2$. Three quark-lepton generations arise as zero modes of a bulk $\bf16$-plet due to magnetic flux of the anomalous $U(1)_A$. Boundary conditions at the four fixed points break $SO(10)$ to subgroups whose intersection is the Standard Model gauge group. The gauge and Higgs sector consist of "split" $SO(10)$ multiplets. As consequence of the $U(1)_A$ flux, squarks and sleptons are much heavier than gauge bosons, Higgs bosons, gauginos and higgsinos. We thus obtain a picture similar to "split supersymmetry." The flavor structure of the quark and lepton mass matrices is determined by the symmetry breaking at the orbifold fixed points.

title: Spectrum Coexistence Mechanisms for Mobile Networks in Unlicensed Frequency Bands

description: Mobile network operators have historically experienced increasing traffic loads at a steady pace, which has always strained the available network capacity and claimed constantly for new methods to increase the network capacity. A key solution proposed to increase the available spectrum is the exploitation of the unlicensed spectrum in the 5 GHz bands, predominantly occupied by Wi-Fi technology. However, an uncontrolled deployment of mobile networks in unlicensed bands could potentially lead to a resource starvation prob lem for Wi-Fi networks and therefore degrade their performance significantly. To address this issue, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardised the Long Term Evolution Unlicensed (LTE-U) and Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) technologies. The main philosophy of these technologies is to allow mobile operators to benefit from the vast amount of available spectrum in unlicensed bands without degrading the performance of Wi-Fi networks, thus enabling a fair coexistence. However, the proposed coexistence mechanisms have been proven to provide very limited guarantees of fairness, if any at all. This thesis proposes several improvements to the 3GPP coexistence mechanisms to en able a truly fair coexistence between mobile and Wi-Fi networks in unlicensed bands. In particular, various methods are proposed to adjust the transmission duty cycle in LTE-U and to adapt/select both the waiting and transmission times for LAA. The main novelty of this work is that the proposed methods exploit the knowledge of the existing Wi-Fi activity statistics to tune the operating parameters of the coexistence protocol (duty cycle, contention window size and its adaptation, transmission opportunity times, etc.), optimise the fairness of spectrum coexistence and the performance of mobile networks. This research shows that, by means of a smart exploitation of the knowledge of the Wi-Fi activity statistics, it is possible to guarantee a truly fair coexistence between mobile and Wi-Fi systems in unlicensed bands. Compared to the 3GPP coexistence mechanisms, the proposed methods can attain a significantly better throughput performance for the mobile network while guaranteeing a fair coexistence with the Wi-Fi network. In some cases, the proposed methods are able not only to avoid degradation to the Wi-Fi network but even improve its performance (compared to a coexistence scenario between Wi-Fi networks only) as a result of the smart coexistence mechanisms proposed in this thesis. The proposed methods are evaluated for the 4G LTE standard but are similarly applicable to other more recent mobile technologies such as the Fifth Generation New Radio in Unlicensed bands (5G NR-U).
