description: Super-massive black holes at the center of distant galaxies accrete surrounding matter and can thus sustain a very energetic jet. When the jet faces towards Earth, the relativistic effects on the observed emission are more extreme and we call these galaxies blazars. MAGIC has detected very-high-energy emission from the blazar S4 0954+65 for the first time while it was showing a high flux in the optical range. This detection was then enriched by the collection of observations in radio, optical, X-rays and high-energy gamma rays. The emission is consistent with a blob of matter (moving through a magnetic field) that eventually crosses the shock in the jet. This extremely high state and multi-wavelength detection allows to sub-classify it as a special BL Lac object sharing characteristics with the other type of blazars called Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs), where the interactions of the blob traveling within the jet with the surrounding emission becomes important.

From San Juan to Saigon : shifting conceptions of Puerto Rican identity during the Vietnam War
Creators: name: Black, Ashley Leane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Between 1964 and 1973, the United States sent over 48,000 Puerto Rican soldiers to fight the war in Vietnam. While many enlisted voluntarily, many others were sent as draftees, subject to conscription as citizens of the United States. This is the starting point of this thesis, which looks at the intersection between citizenship, nationality and military service in relation to Puerto Rican identity at the time of the Vietnam War. This project focuses on the experiences of three distinct groups. First, it uses newspaper and archival research to explore opposition to the draft by Puerto Rican nationalists on the island, who used conscription as a tool to challenge the meaning of their citizenship. They questioned how a state that denied them the right to vote could require them to give the ultimate sacrifice and challenged both the moral and legal dimensions of conscription as it applied to the island. Next, it moves to the Puerto Rican barrios of New York to look at second-generation Puerto Ricans who came of age during the era of civil rights and the Vietnam War. Through the lens of popular culture, it looks at the early development of Puerto Rican stereotypes in Hollywood films and the way that these were challenged by a new generation of writers and activists by the close of the sixties. Finally, it turns to interviews and memoirs of Puerto Rican veterans to present a personal account of what it meant to be Puerto Rican in the U.S. armed forces at the time, and questions the success of the military’s effort to construct soldiers who would remain loyal American citizens after the war. Taken separately, each of these chapters provides a small glimpse of the Puerto Rican experience during the Vietnam War era, but taken together they contribute to our understanding of the ways in which the war, and the environment it created, played a role in the efforts of Puerto Ricans to reclaim and reconstruct their collective identity during this period.

description: Two numerical methods are used to evaluate the relativistic spectrum of the two-centre Coulomb problem (for the $H_{2}^{+}$ and $Th_{2}^{179+}$ diatomic molecules) in the fixed nuclei approximation by solving the single particle time-independent Dirac equation. The first one is based on a min-max principle and uses a two-spinor formulation as a starting point. The second one is the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method combined with kinematically balanced basis functions. Both methods use a B-spline basis function expansion. We show that accurate results can be obtained with both methods and that no spurious states appear in the discretization process.

description: Several clamping techniques exist for ex vivo mechanical testing of tendon. For the patellar tendon, one can choose to clamp directly to the bony attachment sites, the tendon itself, or a combination of the two; however, the influence of these techniques on localized strains and gross material properties is unknown. To this end, uniaxial tensile tests were performed on eleven porcine patellar tendons in three clamping setups while digital image correlation was used to measure axial and transverse strains, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio. The setups involved clamping to: 1) the patella and tibia, 2) the patella and the dissected distal tendon, and 3) the dissected proximal and distal tendon. Axial strains in the tendon-tendon clamping setup were 181% higher than patella-tibia clamping (p = 0.002) and 131% higher than patella-tendon clamping (p = 0.006). Transverse strains were not significantly different between clamping conditions (p ≥ 0.118). Young's modulus was 50% (p < 0.001) greater for patella-tibia clamping and 42% (p < 0.001) greater for patella-tendon clamping when compared to tendon-tendon clamping. For all clamping setups, the tendon illustrated auxetic behaviour (i.e., negative Poisson's ratio); however, the Poisson's ratios were 80% smaller in the patella-tibia setup (p = 0.006) and 71% smaller patella-tendon setup (p = 0.007) compared to the tendon-tendon setup. These results illustrate that discretion should be utilized when reporting material properties derived from mechanical tests involving direct clamping to the dissected patellar tendon at both ends, as this clamping technique significantly increases axial strains, reduces Young's modulus, and alters the tendon's natural auxetic behaviour.

description: Patellar tendinopathy is an overuse injury that occurs from repetitive loading of the patellar tendon in a scenario resembling that of mechanical fatigue. As such, fatigue-life estimates provide a quantifiable approach to assess tendinopathy risk and may be tabulated using nominal strain (NS) or finite element (FE) models with varied subject-specificity. We compared patellar tendon fatigue-life estimates from NS and FE models of twenty-nine athletes performing countermovement jumps with subject-specific versus generic geometry and material properties. Subject-specific patellar tendon material properties and geometry were obtained using a data collection protocol of dynamometry, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. Three FE models were created for each subject, with: subject-specific (hyperelastic) material properties and geometry, subject-specific material properties and generic geometry, and generic material properties and subject-specific geometry. Four NS models were created for each subject, with: subject-specific (linear elastic) material properties and moment arm, generic material properties and subject-specific moment arm, subject-specific material properties and generic moment arm, and generic material properties and moment arm. NS- and FE-modelled fatigue-life estimates with generic material properties were poorly correlated with their subject-specific counterparts (r2≤0.073), while all NS models overestimated fatigue life compared to the subject-specific FE model (r2≤0.223). Furthermore, FE models with generic tendon geometry were unable to accurately represent the heterogeneous strain distributions found in the subject-specific FE models or those with generic material properties. These findings illustrate the importance of incorporating subject-specific material properties and FE-modelled strain distributions into fatigue-life estimations.

description: In a mesoscopic conductor electric resistance is detected even if the device is defect-free. We engineer and study a cold-atom analog of a mesoscopic conductor. It consists of a narrow channel connecting two macroscopic reservoirs of fermions that can be switched from ballistic to diffusive. We induce a current through the channel and find ohmic conduction, even for a ballistic channel. An analysis of in-situ density distributions shows that in the ballistic case the chemical potential drop occurs at the entrance and exit of the channel, revealing the presence of contact resistance. In contrast, a diffusive channel with disorder displays a chemical potential drop spread over the whole channel. Our approach opens the way towards quantum simulation of mesoscopic devices with quantum gases.

description: Health promotion is commonly carried out in schools. While school health promotion may aim to support health in a holistic way, it often reflects a weight-centric approach that places undue emphasis on body weight as the primary focus. As weight-centric approaches to health carry risks for student and teacher health and wellbeing, some schools are adopting a weight-neutral approach that supports health for people of all body sizes. Teachers are at the forefront of the shift to a weight-neutral approach in schools, and as a result, professional learning (PL) initiatives have been developed to help them make this change. Shifting to a weight-neutral approach to health may require significant changes in teachers’ personal beliefs about weight and health, and the personal impact of weight-neutral PL has implications for both teacher wellbeing and teachers’ ability to convey a weight-neutral approach effectively with students. In this qualitative study, I aimed to understand the influence of a PL series about weight-neutral approaches to health on teachers’ personal relationships with their bodies and health. Eleven teachers who completed a weight-neutral PL series were interviewed about their experiences. Reflexive thematic analysis (rTA) of the data revealed that participants became more aware of how their past experiences were shaped by a weight-centric approach to health; experienced a new, more weight-neutral way of relating to their bodies; and conceived of ways to maintain and advocate for a weight-neutral approach to health in the future. These findings are discussed in light of their implications for teacher wellbeing, future weight-neutral PL initiatives, and counselling psychology practice.

title: Parameter redundancy in log-linear models
Creators: name: Sharifi Far, Serveh
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2017

description: Log-linear models are widely used to analyse categorical variables arranged in a contingency table. Sampling zero entries in the table can cause the problem of large standard errors for some model parameter estimates. This thesis focuses on the reason of this problem and suggests a solution by utilising the parameter redundancy approach. This approach detects whether a model is non-identifiable and parameter redundant, and specifies a smaller set of parameters or combinations of them that all are estimable. The parameter redundancy method is adapted here for Poisson log-linear models which are parameter redundant because of the number and pattern of the zero observations in the contingency table. Furthermore, it is shown that in some parameter redundant log-linear models, the presence of constraints referred to as esoteric constraints can make more parameters estimable. It is proven in a theorem that for a saturated Poisson log-linear model fitted to an lm table with one zero cell count, which model parameters are not estimable. Three examples of real data in sparse contingency tables are presented to demonstrate the process of identifying the estimable parameters and reducing the model. An alternative approach is the existence of the MLE method that checks for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimates of the cell means in the log-linear model after observing the zero entries. The method considers the log-linear model as a polyhedral cone and provides conditions to detect the estimability of the cell means. This method is compared here with the parameter redundancy approach and their similarities and differences are explained and illustrated using examples. In parameter redundant models with existent MLE, it is observed that the presence of the esoteric constraints makes all the parameters estimable.

description: Physical activity (PA) and sports benefit the physical and mental well-being of children and adolescents in community samples. Children and adolescents with specific learning disorder (SLD) have a higher risk of experiencing poorer mental health than their typically developing peers. Unfortunately, very little research has investigated the role sports may play in the mental health of individuals in this population. This study compared mental health symptoms between children and adolescents with SLD who participate in sports and those who do not participate in sports to better understand how sports impact the mental health of individuals with SLD. A secondary aim was to investigate gender differences in these associations. Data were collected via an online survey where parents answered questions concerning their child’s mental health, sports involvement, daily PA, as well as other demographic and lifestyle related questions. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, inattention, and hyperactivity were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire – 9 (PHQ-9), the seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale, and the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Questionnaire (SNAP-IV). Results demonstrated a small effect of participation in sports on symptoms of anxiety, as well as on inattention in girls but not boys. No associations were found between sports and mental health for boys. These results indicate that sports may have some benefit for anxiety and inattention in children and adolescents with SLD; however, additional research is required due to small effect sizes and low generalizability. Overall, this study sparks the conversation of how sports could be a helpful opportunity for individuals with SLD

description: This thesis describes a computational investigation into the oxygen storage material copper doped ceria and electrolyte material Ge₅O(PO₄)₆ for use in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. In Chapter 1, a background on fuel cells is given along with explanations and examples of different oxygen migration mechanisms. After this, a background on the materials Ge₅O(PO₄)₆ and copper doped ceria is given,. Chapter 2 presents background on the computational techniques used. This includes discussion of first principles techniques and an explanation of the CALPHAD method. Chapter 3 presents the detailed results of the investigation into copper doped ceria. This investigation concentrated on the stability of copper ceria as well as on the ionic makeup of the material. The main findings of this investigation are that Cu¹⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions can be doped into ceria with the maximum doping reaching 0.09 mole fraction Cu. In Chapter 4 the details of the computation investigation into Ge₅O(PO₄)₆ are given. This investigation looked at the possible oxygen migration pathways. From the findings of this investigation we were able to rule out several different possible pathways through the structure. Chapter 5 gives a brief overview of the findings of each of the projects and provides recommendations on future work that may be carried out on each of the systems. Appendix A provides supplementary data on the copper doped ceria project, specifically the coding of the thermodynamic database created during the project.

description: We study weighted graphs and their "edge ideals" which are ideals in polynomial rings that are defined in terms of the graphs. We provide combinatorial descriptions of m-irreducible decompositions for the edge ideal of a weighted graph in terms of the combinatorics of "weighted vertex covers". We use these, for instance, to say when these ideals are m-unmixed. We explicitly describe which weighted cycles, suspensions, and trees are unmixed and which ones are Cohen-Macaulay, and we prove that all weighted complete graphs are Cohen-Macaulay.

description: We present Shubnikov-de Haas measurements on LuRh2Si2, the non-magnetic reference compound to the prototypical heavy-fermion system YbRh2Si2. We find an extensive set of orbits with clear angular dependences. Surprisingly, the agreement with non-correlated band structure calculations is limited. This may be related to an uncertainty in the calculations arising from a lack of knowledge about the exact Si atom position in the unit cell. The data on LuRh2Si2 provide an extensive basis for the interpretation of measurements on YbRh2Si2 indicative of discrepancies between the high-field Fermi surface of YbRh2Si2 and the "small" Fermi surface configuration.

description: The near-wake region of a cantilevered square cylinder of height to width (h/d) ratio 4, protruding a thin laminar and a thin turbulent boundary layer, is investigated using time-resolved planar particle image velocimetry and surface pressure sensor measurements, at Reynolds numbers of ~ 10000. The flow topology of the large-scale coherent structures, their turbulent kinetic energy, and their influence on turbulence production are analyzed. It is shown that in the laminar boundary layer case, fluctuation levels are significantly higher due to the strength of vortical strands, which connect successive Karman vortices on opposite sides of the symmetry plane, forming a half-loop shedding pattern. The connection sites are associated with regions of high Reynolds stresses and turbulence production. The mean field consists of two pairs of counter-rotating streamwise vortices (dipole and descending vortices), which are both footprints of the half-loop pattern. In the turbulent boundary layer case, Karman vortices interact with the horse-shoe vortex system over the base plate, drawing opposite-sign vorticity, which in turn, decreases the net circulation of the shed vortices and prolongs the formation process of the half-loop patterns. Here, the resultant mean structure is a dipole. The cycle-to-cycle variations of the dominant 3D vortex shedding process is captured through implementing the finite-impulse-response spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (FIR-SPOD) mode space in the multi-time-delay pressure sensor-based estimation. These transient variations of the shedding process, which can give rise to vortex dislocation events, arise from interactions between different coherent structures. It is shown that using this technique, turbulent spatio-temporal scales are better separated, quality of the estimations are significantly improved using only linear terms, and correct phase relationships between pressure and velocity modes are retained as is required for synchronizing coherent motions along the height of the obstacle. Thus, the technique shows promise in 3D reconstruction of challenging turbulent flow cases, which exhibit non-periodic behavior or contain multi-scale phenomena.
title: Identification of novel functions of Crumbs3b and Willin/FRMD6
Creators: name: Tilston-Lunel, Andrew Martin
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2016

description: Crumbs3 (CRB3) is a component of epithelial junctions that has been implicated in apical-basal polarity, apical identity, apical stability, cell adhesion and cell growth. CRB3 undergoes alternative splicing to yield two variants: CRB3a and CRB3b. Here, I describe novel data demonstrating that CRB3b promotes the formation of tight junctions. However, significantly the FERM binding motif (FBM) of CRB3b is required for CRB3b functionality and ezrin binds to the FBM of CRB3b. Furthermore, ezrin contributes to CRB3b functionality and the correct distribution of tight junction proteins. Both CRB3 isoforms are required for the production of functionally mature tight junctions and also the localization of ezrin to the plasma membrane. Finally, reduced CRB3b expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) correlates with cytoplasmic ezrin, a biomarker for aggressive disease, and show evidence that whilst CRB3a expression has no effect, low CRB3b and high cytoplasmic ezrin expression combined may be prognostic for HNSCC. Willin/FRMD6 has been demonstrated to regulate the hippo signalling pathway in epithelial cells and fibroblasts isolated from the sciatic nerve of a rat. Here, I describe the novel functions of Willin in a neuroblastoma cell line. Willin is able to negatively regulate the ERK signaling pathway and also control the morphology of SH-SY5Y cells. The levels of Willin present in SH-SY5Y cells predisposes the ability of these cells to undergo ERK dependent differentiation. Preliminary evidence demonstrating that Willin is able to regulate the actin cytoskeleton and the hippo signaling pathway in SH-SY5Y cells is presented in this thesis. This data suggests that Willin acts as an important factor in the regulation of cellular processes and in the control of the ERK and hippo signaling pathway.

description: N-Higgs-doublet models (NHDM) are among the most popular examples of electroweak symmetry breaking mechanisms beyond the Standard Model. Discrete symmetries imposed on the NHDM scalar potential play a pivotal role in shaping the phenomenology of the model, and various symmetry groups have been studied so far. However, in spite of all efforts, the classification of finite Higgs-family symmetry groups realizable in NHDM for any N>2 is still missing. Here, we solve this problem for the three-Higgs-doublet model by making use of Burnside's theorem and other results from pure finite group theory which are rarely exploited in physics. Our method and results can be also used beyond high-energy physics, for example, in study of possible symmetries in three-band superconductors.

description: Among the efficient numerical methods based on atomistic models, the quasicontinuum (QC) method has attracted growing interest in recent years. The QC method was first developed for crystalline materials with Bravais lattice and was later extended to multilattices (Tadmor et al, 1999). Another existing numerical approach to modeling multilattices is homogenization. In the present paper we review the existing numerical methods for multilattices and propose another concurrent macro-to-micro method in the numerical homogenization framework. We give a unified mathematical formulation of the new and the existing methods and show their equivalence. We then consider extensions of the proposed method to time-dependent problems and to random materials.

description: Critical care patients are susceptible to musculoskeletal changes during their stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a common complication of critical illness that is characterized by a significant loss of muscle strength. ICU-AW can lead to long-term weakness, fractures, physical impairment, and reduced quality of life. Evaluating musculoskeletal health in the ICU can be challenging as patients are often non-responsive and unstable. However, critical care patients typically undergo computed tomography (CT) imaging for their clinical care, which can be repurposed for musculoskeletal assessment. The purpose of this thesis was to use clinically acquired CT images and electronic medical record data to investigate the effects of critical illness on the musculoskeletal system. CT imaging provides measures of muscle cross-sectional area, indicating muscle atrophy; muscle density, indicating muscle quality; and bone mineral density (BMD), indicating fracture risk. First, I adapted and validated a CT internal calibration method for reliable muscle density analysis. I then applied this internal calibration method to clinically acquired CT images of critical care patients, and I found that critical care patients undergo a significant reduction in psoas and thigh muscle density over the course of critical illness. Further, I applied CT internal calibration to evaluate BMD changes in critical care patients, and no changes were observed. In a larger cohort, I used clinically acquired CT images to determine that critical care patients experience significant psoas muscle atrophy during their ICU stay. Using electronic medical record data, I found that this muscle atrophy was associated with length of time in the ICU and quantity of muscle at ICU admission. Further, rate of muscle atrophy was associated with ICU mortality. The findings from this thesis provide insight into the effects of critical illness on the musculoskeletal system, the risk factors and mechanisms associated with muscle loss in the ICU, and the utility of clinically acquired CT imaging for retrospective musculoskeletal assessment.

description: The effect of a strong magnetic field on the electric polarization of a three-flavor color superconducting medium is investigated. We found that the electric susceptibility of this strongly magnetized medium is highly anisotropic. In the direction transverse to the applied magnetic field the susceptibility reduces to that of the vacuum, while in the longitudinal direction it depends on the magnetic field and decreases with it. The nature of this behavior is associated with the field's dependence of the Cooper pairs' coherence length, which plays the role of the electric dipole length. The field's dependence of the electric polarization is interpreted as the realization of the magnetoelectric effect in cold-dense quark matter.

description: Magnetic data storage is pervasive in the preservation of digital information and the rapid pace of computer development requires ever more capacity. Increasing the storage density for magnetic hard disk drives requires a reduced bit size, previously thought to be limited by the thermal stability of the constituent magnetic grains. The limiting storage density in magnetic recording is investigated treating the writing of bits as a thermodynamic process. A 'thermal writability' factor is introduced and it is shown that storage densities will be limited to 15 to 20 TBit/in^2 unless technology can move beyond the currently available write field magnitudes.

description: Major organizations such as urban centers worldwide face challenges from rapid population growth and evolving demands, requiring innovative approaches to stay responsive to residents' needs. This challenge is exemplified by the city of Calgary, where an automated system for aggregating and categorizing resident feedback could improve city planning. What people find important and useful can be seen in the articles they post on social media. One method for determining the performance of urban services and assets for citizens is paying attention to these data generated by the residents. In this regard, we need to examine datasets wherein writing is the primary form of citizen engagement (direct messages, requests, comments, complaints, etc.). To interpret this data, it is necessary to use appropriate tools and techniques for data processing and analysis of large volumes of unstructured text. Some of the most effective tools used by researchers nowadays falls into the scope of computational linguistics, specifically Natural language processing (NLP). Furthermore, Twitter is one of the primary platforms where individuals freely voice their opinions and concerns. In this study, we develop an automated workflow that can scrape, classify, and display tweets in a simplistic view. With the help of this system, local officials will be able to speed up the decision-making process when considering citizens' current problems. Following our research question, we look into the optimal scraping criteria, explore a variety of methods for topic and emotions analysis, and validate these methods both using automatic evaluation and manual assessment. As a result, we are able to identify issues related to city development, senior citizens, taxes, and unemployment using our best performing models (BERTopic for topic modeling and few-shot learning using Setfit for emotion analysis.) Afterward, we collect city employees' opinion regarding our research to determine the usefulness and applicability of this approach. Overall, we demonstrate how delving into these analyses can complement the current systems in place for urban planning.

description: A qualitative case study methodology was implemented to explore the learning experiences of self-directed social work practicum students within real-world settings. Eight social work students and seven practicum supervisors were included in this study. The research objective focused on a comprehensive understanding of self-directed practicum learning, including the factors that influence, facilitate, and restrict these experiences. The study underscored how these experiences impact students as they acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for future social work practice. The research design, supported by a constructivist paradigm, draws from learning theories relevant to experiential and self-directed learning within social work education and incorporates insights from scholarship on the ethics of care, emphasizing the significance of compassionate and ethical considerations in social work education and practice. This study highlighted the crucial role of reflection in the learning process and within the research itself. The research findings are relevant for field educators, social work students, and other allied professionals. Examining student and supervisor responses about supervised, self-directed social work practicum yielded insights that could inform and enhance educational practices embodying a compassionate, reflective, and self-directed approach to learning and professional development.

description: Solid-state sodium-ion batteries (ss-SIBs) are becoming a viable substitute for traditional lithium-ion batteries, offering a sustainable and cost-efficient option for future energy storage needs. The primary advantage is the abundant availability and lower cost of sodium compared to lithium. The advancement of ss-SIBs depends on achieving superior electrochemical, mechanical, interfacial, and thermal stability in solid electrolytes and optimal cathode selection. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are particularly promising due to their flexibility and potential for enhancement, despite challenges such as low ionic conductivity and high interfacial resistance. This thesis introduces a solid composite polymer electrolyte (SCPE) aimed at enhancing sodium-ion conductivity in ss-SIBs. The SCPE film was produced via a simple solution casting method, incorporating poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), succinonitrile as binders, NaPF6 salt, and NZSP NASICON as a ceramic electrolyte additive. Characterization techniques, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were used to analyze the microstructure and electrochemical properties of the SCPEs. The resulting SCPEs exhibited a total conductivity of 6.8 × 10-4 S/cm at 23°C and 2.5 × 10-3 S/cm at 71°C. SEM analysis revealed uniform dispersion of the ceramic electrolyte within the SPE matrix, attributed to the polar nature of the host polymer, which reduces crystallinity and enhances sodium-ion conductivity. A symmetric half-cell assembly with a sodium electrode demonstrated excellent performance in sodium plating and stripping at a current density of 7 mA cm-2 at 23°C. Further, the thesis explores a machine-driven approach to predict critical factors affecting ss-SIB cathode performance using a dataset of about 350 data points of transition metal layered oxide cathode materials. Machine learning techniques were employed to develop three interconnected models aimed at predicting the P2/O3 ratio, initial discharge capacity, and discharge capacity after 50 cycles. The model for predicting the P2/O3 ratio achieved an R2 value of 83%, indicating high accuracy. The subsequent models, using Gaussian Process (GP) and Multilayer Perceptron Regressor (MLPR), achieved around 80% accuracy in predicting initial discharge capacity and 85% accuracy in discharge capacity after 50 cycles.
