description: November media coverage of climate change or global warming in newspapers around the globe increased 41% from October 2022 but remained 12% lower than November 2021 levels. In a larger context, the levels of November 2022 coverage was the fourth highest monthly total, following December 2009, November 2021, and October 2021. International wire services were a strong contributor to this increase as coverage in these sources jumped 76%. Radio coverage also rose 27% from October 2022. Compared to the previous month, coverage went up in all regions: Oceania (+15%), North America (+17%), Asia (+31%), the European Union (EU) (+40%), Africa (+57%), Latin America (+80%), and the Middle East (+122%). Figure 1 shows trends in newspaper media coverage at the global scale – organized into seven geographical regions around the world – from January 2004 through November 2022.

Essays on Technical Analysis and Asset Price Prediction
Creators: name: Un, Kuok Sin
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis consists of three essays tied together with the common thread of technical analysis in asset pricing. They extend the technical analysis literature on data snooping bias, long-range dependence, and mixed frequency technical trading, respectively. The first essay introduces an aggregate technical trading index by extracting the most relevant forecasting information contained in 7,846 technical trading rules to predict equity risk premium in the U.S. The proposed method significantly outperforms the existing false discovery rate (FDR) method in both in-sample and out-of-sample analysis. The second essay focuses on the use of macroeconomic variables and technical indicators’ ability to predict equity risk premium. A Bullish Index is introduced to measure the changes in stock market behavior. A positive (negative) shock of the Bullish Index is closely related to strong equity risk premium predictability for forecasts based on macroeconomic variables (technical indicators) for up to six (nine) months. The third essay studies the forecasting power of technical trading signals generated at various frequency levels with the Mixed Data Sampling model. The proposed aggregated high-frequency technical indicators (daily or weekly) can add value for momentum trading strategies compared to low-frequency (monthly) technical indicators, with a net-of-transactions-costs annualized certainty equivalent return gain up to 1.54%. The results indicate that there is no clear evidence of additional economic value for moving average trading strategies in forecasting monthly U.S equity risk premium. In conclusion, this thesis provides new methodologies for predicting equity risk premium with technical analysis in the U.S market. The empirical results support the proposed methods with robustness check in all aspects of investing, i.e. the choice of risk preferences, transaction costs, out-of-sample analysis, and subsample period analysis. This thesis provides solid evidence in supporting the use of technical analysis in predicting the stock market movement.
Han's conjecture and Hochschild homology for null-square projective algebras

description: Let $\mathcal H$ be the class of algebras verifying Han's conjecture. In this paper we analyse two types of algebras with the aim of providing an inductive step towards the proof of this conjecture. Firstly we show that if an algebra $Λ$ is triangular with respect to a system of non necessarily primitive idempotents, and if the algebras at the idempotents belong to $\mathcal H$, then $Λ$ is in $\mathcal H$. Secondly we consider a $2\times 2$ matrix algebra, with two algebras on the diagonal, two projective bimodules in the corners, and zero corner products. They are not triangular with respect to the system of the two diagonal idempotents. However, the analogous result holds, namely if both algebras on the diagonal belong to $\mathcal H$, then the algebra itself is in $\mathcal H$.

description: We prove that ideal sub-Riemannian manifolds (i.e., admitting no non-trivial abnormal minimizers) support interpolation inequalities for optimal transport. A key role is played by sub-Riemannian Jacobi fields and distortion coefficients, whose properties are remarkably different with respect to the Riemannian case. As a byproduct, we characterize the cut locus as the set of points where the squared sub-Riemannian distance fails to be semiconvex, answering to a question raised by Figalli and Rifford in [Geom. Funct. Anal. (2010) 20: 124]. As an application, we deduce sharp and intrinsic Borell-Brascamp-Lieb and geodesic Brunn-Minkowski inequalities in the aforementioned setting. For the case of the Heisenberg group, we recover in an intrinsic way the results recently obtained by Balogh, Kristály and Sipos in [Calc. Var. PDE (2018) 57: 61], and we extend them to the class of generalized H-type Carnot groups. Our results do not require the distribution to have constant rank, yielding for the particular case of the Grushin plane a sharp measure contraction property and a sharp Brunn-Minkowski inequality.

description: We compute the topological susceptibility $χ_t$ of lattice QCD with $2+1$ dynamical quark flavors described by the Möbius domain wall fermion. Violation of chiral symmetry as measured by the residual mass is kept at $\sim$1 MeV or smaller. We measure the fluctuation of the topological charge density in a `slab' sub-volume of the simulated lattice using the method proposed by Bietenholz {\it et al.} The quark mass dependence of $χ_t$ is consistent with the prediction of chiral perturbation theory, from which the chiral condensate is extracted as $Σ^{\overline{\rm MS}} (\mbox{2GeV}) = [274(13)(29)\mbox{MeV}]^3$, where the first error is statistical and the second one is systematic. Combining the results for the pion mass $M_π$ and decay constant $F_π$, we obtain $χ_t = 0.229(03)(13)M_π^2F_π^2$ at the physical point.

description: A lattice Boltzmann (LB) theory, analytical characteristic integral (ACI) LB theory, is proposed in this paper. ACI LB theory takes Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) Boltzmann equation as the exact kinetic equation behind Navier-Stokes continuum and momentum equations and constructs LB equation by rigorously integrating BGK-Boltzmann equation along characteristics. It's a general theory, supporting most existed LB equations including the standard lattice BGK (LBGK) equation inherited from lattice-gas automata, whose theoretical foundation had been questioned. ACI LB theory also indicates that the characteristic parameter of LB equation is collision number, depicting the particle-interacting intensity in the time span of LB equation, instead of traditionally assumed relaxation time, and the over relaxation time problem is merely a manifestation of temporal evolution of equilibrium distribution along characteristics under high collision number, irrelevant to particle kinetics. In ACI LB theory, the temporal evolution of equilibrium distribution along characteristics is the determinant of LB method accuracy and we numerically prove it.

Fault-tolerant conversion between adjacent Reed-Muller quantum codes based on gauge fixing

description: We design forward and backward fault-tolerant conversion circuits, which convert between the Steane code and the 15-qubit Reed-Muller quantum code so as to provide a universal transversal gate set. In our method, only 7 out of total 14 code stabilizers need to be measured, and we further enhance the circuit by simplifying some stabilizers; thus, we need only to measure eight weight-4 stabilizers for one round of forward conversion and seven weight-4 stabilizers for one round of backward conversion. For conversion, we treat random single-qubit errors and their influence on syndromes of gauge operators, and our novel single-step process enables more efficient fault-tolerant conversion between these two codes. We make our method quite general by showing how to convert between any two adjacent Reed-Muller quantum codes $\overline{\textsf{RM}}(1,m)$ and $\overline{\textsf{RM}}\left(1,m+1\right)$, for which we need only measure stabilizers whose number scales linearly with m rather than exponentially with m obtained in previous work. We provide the explicit mathematical expression for the necessary stabilizers and the concomitant resources required.

description: We address the question of whether or not global entanglement of a quantum state can be inferred from local properties. Specifically, we are interested in genuinely multiparticle entangled states whose two-body marginals are all separable, but where the entanglement can be proven using knowledge of a subset of the marginals only. Using an iteration of semidefinite programs we prove that for any possible marginal configuration up to six particles multiqubit states with the desired properties can be found. We then present a method to construct states with the same properties for more particles in higher dimensions.

description: Every Easter Monday the small village of Hallaton in East Leicestershire is host to a strange rural custom - the 'Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking'. This is a battle between Hallaton and the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The tradition is ancient, dating back to at least the seventeenth century. Recent research has revealed that Hare Pie Bank - the hill above the village on which the bottle kicking battle starts - has a much older history. Documentary research and excavations by the Hallaton Field Work Group have uncovered evidence that not only was the hilltop used by the Romans, but also a medieval chapel and burial ground, dedicated to St Morrell, once stood on the bank overlooking the village.

The mechanisms by which A1 regulates pre-mRNA splicing
Creators: name: Cui, Shijie
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In order to generate mRNA for proteins expression, pre-mRNA splicing is needed. In humans, 92–94% of genes undergo alternative splicing. Alternative splicing builds the diversity of gene expression and decides the expression level of gene products. The interaction of 𝘤𝘪𝘴 -elements and trans-elements plays a major role in regulating alternative splicing. 𝘤𝘪𝘴 -regulatory elements are sequences present in pre-mRNA, and trans-elements are splicing regulatory proteins, such as hnRNP proteins. HnRNP A1 (A1), which is mainly involved in alternative splicing events and plays an important role in splicing repression in opposition to SR proteins, includes an N-terminal domain that contains two RRMs and a C-terminal domain that is an arginine and glycine-rich protein-protein or protein-RNA interaction domain. A1 can also inhibit the binding of U1 snRNP to pre-mRNA to repress pre-mRNA splicing. SMN2 gene arose by an inversion of SMN1 gene. Due to the skipping of exon 7 in the splicing of SMN2, truncated SMN proteins are mainly. Accumulating evidences suggest that A1 plays an important role in regulating the splicing of SMN2. Our experiments with the established SMN2 RNA system in splicing have shown the significance of A1 motifs and the competition between A1 and U1 snRNP. Using single molecule microscopy with SMN2 RNA substrates, we discovered that the binding of two A1 molecules is crucial for splicing inhibition. One A1 may bind to the motif by C6T mutation in exon 7, while another may bind to both motifs via its two RRMs in intron 7. This inhibits U1 snRNP binding and affects the formation of complexes A and B. We propose a looping-out model to explain how A1 inhibits SMN2 exon 7 splicing. Additionally, we found that when SMN2 RNAs have a consensus 5ʹ splice site, the caused high levels of U1 snRNP binding overcome A1’s repressive effect on SMN2 RNA splicing and restore it by promoting the formation of complexes A and B.
Gaddesby: A Decorated Church in its Social and Cultural Context

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 82, 171-188
description: This article places the Decorated work at the church of Gaddesby in both its architectural and social context. The architectural context is pursued through a detailed consideration of the form of the buttress, which leads to connections between Gaddesby and the chapel of Merton College, Oxford. These connections are related to the social context, specifically to the career of Robert de Gaddesby. This professional administrator carried out a number of important roles, being steward for the Merton estates at Kibworth Harcourt and also at times steward for the Earl of Leicester. He also held a number of other official positions and, though the patronage of Roger Belers, was connected to the Despenser family during their period of influence over Edward II. These connections enabled de Gaddesby to accumulate considerable wealth, much of which was lavished on the church and contributed to its fine architectural heritage. Gaddesby is thus an intriguing example of the rise of secular administration and its influence on cultural developments.
A Survey of Two Cropmark Sites in Lockington-Hemington Parish, Leicestershire

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 59, 17-26
description: When assessing research and excavation priorities, the potential for information about the impact of a new culture on existing settlement is of great importance. An area where this information may be forthcoming is in Lockington-Remington parish where two adjacent cropmarks appear to show a native Iron Age settlement and a Roman villa. These two sites, although scheduled by the HBMC(E) are in an area of possible future gravel extraction which may, even if the sites are not destroyed, so change the drainage patterns as to endanger the survival of potential information. In view of this a detailed survey of the sites was undertaken in 1982 and 1984 with the consent and partial funding of the Department of the Environment and the permission of the landowner, Mr C.R.C. Coaker.

description: We develop a generalization of the Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) + Hubbard $U$ (DFT+$U$) method to the excited-state regime. This has the form of Hubbard $U$ corrected linear-response time-dependent DFT, or `TDDFT+$U$'. Combined with calculated linear-response Hubbard $U$ parameters, it may provide a computationally light, first-principles method for the simulation of tightly-bound excitons on transition-metal ions. Our presented implementation combines linear-scaling DFT+$U$ and linear-scaling TDDFT, but the approach is broadly applicable. In detailed benchmark tests on two Ni-centred diamagnetic coordination complexes with variable $U$ values, it is shown that the Hubbard $U$ correction to an approximate adiabatic semi-local exchange-correlation interaction kernel lowers the excitation energies of transitions exclusively within the targeted localized subspace, by increasing the exciton binding of the corresponding electron-hole pairs. This partially counteracts the Hubbard $U$ correction to the exchange-correlation potential in KS-DFT, which increases excitation energies into, out of, and within the targeted localised subspace by modifying the underlying KS-DFT eigenspectrum. This compensating effect is most pronounced for optically dark transitions between localized orbitals of the same angular momentum, for which experimental observation may be challenging and theoretical approaches are at their most necessary. Overall, our results point to shortcomings in the contemporary DFT+$U$ corrective potential, either in its functional form, or when applied to transition-metal orbitals but not to ligand ones, or both.

The Development of Anti-Breast Cancer Stem Cell Copper(II) Complexes
Creators: name: Northcote-Smith, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A subpopulation of cancer cells, called cancer stem cells (CSCs), are thought to be responsible for cancer relapse and metastasis, phenomena which are the cause of the majority of cancer deaths. CSCs are highly treatment resistant and are not removed by current treatments at their administered doses. New chemotherapeutics are needed which can remove CSCs alongside bulk tumour cells at safe doses. A promising strategy to eradicate entire tumours, including CSCs, is immunogenic cell death (ICD). ICD is a mode of cell death which stimulates the immune system to further remove cancerous cells. A CSC-active ICD agent may be able to directly eradicate bulk breast cancer cells and CSCs and stimulate the immune system to remove residual cells. ICD occurs following oxidative stress of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Redox active copper(II) complexes have been shown to elevate intracellular ROS levels. If directed to the ER, copper(II) complexes may be capable of oxidatively stressing the ER, triggering ICD. This project aims to develop novel copper(II) complexes which can target the ER, elevate intracellular ROS levels and induce ICD in breast CSCs. This thesis describes the synthesis, characterisation, and evaluation of the biophysical and anti-CSC properties of the complexes. Novel copper(II) complexes with improved stability and potency compared to previous anti-breast CSC copper(II) complexes were developed. Complexes 4 and 17, containing 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, were found to induce ICD in breast CSCs following oxidate ER stress. Complex 15, containing 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, was found to induce autophagic cell death in breast CSCs. Complex 13, containing 1,10-phenanthroline, was found to induce apoptosis in breast CSCs. The phenanthroline ligand present in these complexes determines the mode of breast CSC death. Complexes 19-23 and 26, containing sulphonamide-functionalised terpyridine ligands, were found to increase intracellular ROS levels, partially induce ER stress, and kill breast CSCs via caspase independent apoptosis.

description: In the present essay we attempt to reconstruct Newtonian mechanics under the guidance of logical principles and of a constructive approach related to the genetic epistemology of J. Piaget and R. García \citep{piag89}. Instead of addressing Newton's equations as a set of axioms, ultimately given by the revelation of a prodigious mind, we search for the fundamental knowledge, beliefs and provisional assumptions that can produce classical mechanics. We start by developing our main tool: the No Arbitrariness Principle, that we present in a form that is apt for a mathematical theory as classical mechanics. Subsequently, we introduce the presence of the observer, analysing then the relation objective-subjective and seeking objectivity going across subjectivity. We take special care of establishing the precedence among all contributions to mechanics, something that can be better appreciated by considering the consequences of removing them: (a) the consequence of renouncing logic and the laws of understanding is not being able to understand the world, (b) renouncing the early elaborations of primary concepts such as time and space leads to a dissociation between everyday life and physics, the latter becoming entirely pragmatic and justified \emph{a-posteriori} (because it is convenient), (c) changing our temporary beliefs has no real cost other than effort. Finally, we exemplify the present approach by reconsidering the constancy of the velocity of light. It is shown that it is a result of Newtonian mechanics, rather than being in contradiction with it. We also indicate the hidden assumption that leads to the (apparent) contradiction.

Predictions of homogeneous nucleation rates for $n$-alkanes accounting for the diffuse phase interface and capillary waves

description: Homogeneous droplet nucleation has been studied for almost a century but has not yet been fully understood. In this work, we used the density gradient theory (DGT) and considered the influence of capillary waves (CW) on the predicted size-dependent surface tensions and nucleation rates for selected $n$-alkanes. The DGT model was completed by an equation of state (EoS) based on the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) and compared to the classical nucleation theory and the Peng--Robinson EoS. It was found that the critical clusters are practically free of CW because they are so small that even the smallest CW wavelengths do not fit into their finite dimensions. The CW contribute to the entropy of the system and thus decrease the surface tension. A correction for the effect of CW on the surface tension is presented. The effect of the different EoSs is relatively small because by a fortuitous coincidence their predictions are similar in the relevant range of critical cluster sizes. The difference of the DGT predictions to the classical nucleation theory computations is important but not decisive. Of the effects investigated, the most pronounced is the suppression of the CW which causes a sizable decrease of the predicted nucleation rates. The major difference between experimental nucleation rate data and theoretical predictions remains in the temperature dependence. For normal alkanes, this discrepancy is much stronger than observed, e.g., for water. The theoretical corrections developed here have a minor influence on the temperature dependency. We provide empirical equations correcting the predicted nucleation rates to values comparable with experiments.

Sparse Control of Kinetic Cooperative Systems to Approximate Alignment
Creators: name: Bonnet, Benoît
name: Rossi, Francesco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Cooperative systems are systems in which the forces among agents are non-repulsive. The free evolution of such systems can tend to the formation of patterns, such as consensus or clustering, depending on the properties and intensity of the interaction forces between agents. The kinetic cooperative systems are obtained as the mean field limits of these systems when the number of agents goes to infinity. These limit dynamics are described by transport partial differential equations involving non-local terms. In this article, we design a simple and robust control strategy steering any kinetic cooperative system to approximate alignment. The computation of the control at each instant will only require knowledge of the size of the support of the crowd in the phase space and of the Lipschitz constant of the interaction forces. Besides, the control we apply to our system is sparse, in the sense that it acts only on a small portion of the total population at each time. It also presents the features of being obtained through a constructive procedure and to be independent on the number of agents, making it convenient for applications.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: For non-equilibrium systems in a steady state we present two necessary and sufficient conditions for the emergence of $q$-canonical ensembles, also known as Tsallis statistics. These conditions are invariance requirements over the definition of subsystem and environment, and over the joint rescaling of temperature and energy. Our approach is independent of, but complementary to, the notions of Tsallis non-extensive statistics and Superstatistics.

Augmented Ensemble MCMC sampling in Factorial Hidden Markov Models

description: Bayesian inference for factorial hidden Markov models is challenging due to the exponentially sized latent variable space. Standard Monte Carlo samplers can have difficulties effectively exploring the posterior landscape and are often restricted to exploration around localised regions that depend on initialisation. We introduce a general purpose ensemble Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique to improve on existing poorly mixing samplers. This is achieved by combining parallel tempering and an auxiliary variable scheme to exchange information between the chains in an efficient way. The latter exploits a genetic algorithm within an augmented Gibbs sampler. We compare our technique with various existing samplers in a simulation study as well as in a cancer genomics application, demonstrating the improvements obtained by our augmented ensemble approach.
