description: The design and performance of an electron spin resonance spectrometer operating at 3 and 9 GHz microwave frequencies combined with a 9 T superconducting magnet is described. The probehead contains a compact two-loop, one gap resonator and is embedded in the variable temperature insert of the magnet enabling measurements in the 0- 9 T magnetic field and 1.5-400 K\ temperature range. The spectrometer allows studies on systems where resonance occurs at fields far above the $g$ $\approx 2$ paramagnetic condition such as in strongly interacting spin systems. The low quality factor of the resonator allows time resolved experiments such as e.g. longitudinally detected ESR. We demonstrate the performance of the spectrometer on the MgB$_{2}$ superconductor and the RbC$_{60}$ conducting alkaline fulleride polymer.

title: Effective Tutoring with Empathic Embodied Conversational Agents
Creators: name: Moyo, Sharon G.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis examines the prospect of using empathy in an Embodied Tutoring System (ETS) that guides students through an online quiz (by providing feedback on student answers and responding to self-reported student emotion). The ETS seeks to imitate human behaviours successfully used in one-to-one human tutorial interactions. The main hypothesis is that the interaction with an empathic ETS results in greater learning gains than a neutral ETS, primarily by encouraging positive and reducing negative student emotions using empathic feedback. In a preparatory study we investigated different strategies for expressing emotion by the ETS. We established that a multimodal strategy achieves the best results regarding how accurately human participants can recognise the emotions. This approach was used in developing the feedback strategy for our empathic ETS. The preparatory study was followed by two studies in which we compared a neutral with an empathic ETS. The ETS in the second of these studies was developed using results from the first of these studies. In both studies, we found no statistically significant difference in learning gains between the neutral and empathic ETS. However, we did discover a number of interactions between the ETS system, learning gains and, in particular 1) student scores on an empathic tendency test and 2) student ability. We also analysed the subjective responses and the relation between self-reported emotions during the quiz and student learning gains. Based on our studies in a formal class room setting, we assess the prospects of using empathic agents in a classroom setting and describe a number of requirements for their effective use.

description: The chiral spin textures of a two-dimensional (2D) triangular system, where both antiferromagnetic (AF) Heisenberg exchange and chiral Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions co-exist, are investigated numerically with an optimized quantum Monte Carlo method based on mean-field theory. We find that: helical, skyrmionic and vortical AF crystals can be formed when an external magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the 2D monolayer; the sizes of these skyrmions and vortices change abruptly at several critical points of the external magnetic field; each of these AF crystals can be decomposed into three periodical ferromagnetic (FM) sublattices. The quantum ingredient implemented into the theoeretical framework helps to track the existence of AF skyrmion lattices down to low temperatures.
Exactly solvable models : a solution to different problems of laser matter interaction

Year: 2004

description: With the increasing use of ultrashort laser pulses and nanoscale-materials, one is regularly confronted to situations in which the properties of the media supporting propagation are not varying slowly with time (or space). Hence, the usual WKB-type approximations fail, and one has to resort to numerical treatments of the problems, with a considerable loss in our insight into the physics of laser-matter interaction. We will present a new approach which allows a fully analytical solution of such problems, based on a transformation of the propagation equations into a new space where phase accumulation is linear with either time or space, which greatly simplifies their treatment. Though this method is restricted to some special models of the time or space varying dielectric constant, those are however general enough to encompass practically all experimental situations. It allows to introduce the concept of "non-stationarity induced" (or "inhomogeneity induced") dispersion. We will analyse the problem of reflection and propagation in two types of media whose dielectric constant vary rapidly at either the laser period or the laser wavelength scale. Extension of such techniques to the case of arbitrarily high non linearities will be considered too.

description: Die Erosion sozialer Strukturen betrifft nicht nur Länder des globalen Südens, wo seit langem über „failed states“ berichtet und geforscht wird. Ökologische Krisen machen an keinen Grenzen halt, Klimawandel und die Folgen des Artensterbens treffen auch Gesellschaften des globalen Nordens. Dürren, Extremwetterereignisse und Überschwemmungen setzen auch hier stabil geglaubte Infrastrukturen immer mehr unter Druck. Durch ökologische Krisen hervorgerufene Migrationsbewegungen treten an die Stelle lange eingeübter Bedrohungsszenarien zwischen Nationalstaaten und führen zu ebenso rigiden Grenzsicherungen. Soziologische Theorie war von jeher an Prozessen des Aufbaus und des Erhalts sozialer Ordnung interessiert. Die Folgen des Klimawandels regen an, die Perspektive zu wechseln und den möglichen Zerfall sozialer Ordnung in den Blick zu nehmen. Welchen Pfad beschreiten Gesellschaften, die so schwer von ökologischen Krisen getroffen werden, dass grundlegende und als stabil geglaubte Funktionen in Frage gestellt werden? Ein Prozessmodell soll helfen, dieses Terrain zu erkunden. The undermining of social structures does not affect only countries in the global south, where “failed states” have been subject of research for a long time. Ecological crises do not respect borders. The consequences of climate change and the extinction of species do affect countries of the global north as well. Also, in these regions, droughts, floods, and extreme weather will exert pressure on infrastructures regarded as stable. Migration, caused by ecological crises, replaces common threats between nation states and leads to rigid measures of border security. Sociological theory has always been interested in processes of constructing and maintaining social order. The consequences of climate change stimulate a change of perspective and a focus on the decline of social order. Which path will societies take when they are hit by ecological crises in a way that basic functions are challenged? A process model shall help to explore this area.

description: To enable data-driven decision-making across organizations, data professionals need to share insights with their colleagues in context-appropriate communication channels. Many of their colleagues rely on data but are not themselves analysts; furthermore, their colleagues are reluctant or unable to use dedicated analytical applications or dashboards, and they expect communication to take place within threaded collaboration platforms such as Slack or Microsoft Teams. In this paper, we introduce a set of six strategies for adapting content from business intelligence (BI) dashboards into appropriate formats for sharing on collaboration platforms, formats that we refer to as dashboard snapshots. Informed by prior studies of enterprise communication around data, these strategies go beyond redesigning or restyling by considering varying levels of data literacy across an organization, introducing affordances for self-service question-answering, and anticipating the post-sharing lifecycle of data artifacts. These strategies involve the use of templates that are matched to common communicative intents, serving to reduce the workload of data professionals. We contribute a formal representation of these strategies and demonstrate their applicability in a comprehensive enterprise communication scenario featuring multiple stakeholders that unfolds over the span of months.

title: An Examination of the Evolution of Broadband Technologies in the UK
Creators: name: Deshpande, Advait
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: The aim of this thesis is to examine the reasons due to which Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) became the most widely used technology to deliver broadband connectivity in the United Kingdom (UK). The research examines the outcome starting with events in 1960s when broadband as it is defined today did not exist. The research shows that a combination of factors involving regulatory decisions, changing market conditions, and unexpected technological breakthroughs contributed to the current day mix of broadband technologies in the last mile access in the UK. To interpret the events that have shaped the development, deployment, and adoption of broadband technologies in the UK, the thesis draws from various theoretical ideas related to Science and Technology Studies (STS) to understand and analyse the events. In order to discover and establish the historical context, the thesis employs original, unpublished interviews along with the extensive use of archival material and secondary sources. Influenced by some of the core ideas of social constructionist studies, this research combines concepts from economic studies of technological change along with themes involving maintenance of technology, path dependence, and the role of bandwagon effect. These research threads are combined to understand the way development, deployment, and adoption of broadband technologies took place in the UK. The research is intended to contribute to the understanding of technology in a constantly changing regulatory and socio-economic environment and how it is shaped by multiple factors. The targeted readership is researchers, analysts, and decision makers working with broadband technology, telecommunications policy, and STS. Further research is suggested in the form of studies of wireless broadband technologies and the role of regulatory policies in the development of the UK communications market.

description: Moduli spaces - finite-dimensional, collective coordinate manifolds - for kinks and antikinks in $ϕ^4$ theory and sine-Gordon theory are reconsidered. The field theory Lagrangian restricted to moduli space defines a reduced Lagrangian, combining a potential with a kinetic term that can be interpreted as a Riemannian metric on moduli space. Moduli spaces should be metrically complete, or have an infinite potential on their boundary. Examples are constructed for both kink-antikink and kink-antikink-kink configurations. The naive position coordinates of the kinks and antikinks sometimes need to be extended from real to imaginary values, although the field remains real. The previously discussed null-vector problem for the shape modes of $ϕ^4$ kinks is resolved by a better coordinate choice. In sine-Gordon theory, moduli spaces can be constructed using exact solutions at the critical energy separating scattering and breather (or wobble) solutions; here, energy conservation relates the metric and potential. The reduced dynamics on these moduli spaces accurately reproduces properties of the exact solutions over a range of energies.

description: Extreme value analysis (EVA) is a statistical method that studies the properties of extreme values of datasets, crucial for fields like engineering, meteorology, finance, insurance, and environmental science. EVA models extreme events using distributions such as Fréchet, Weibull, or Gumbel, aiding in risk prediction and management. This review explores EVA's application to nanoscale biological systems. Traditionally, biological research focuses on average values from repeated experiments. However, EVA offers insights into molecular mechanisms by examining extreme data points. We introduce EVA's concepts with simulations and review its use in studying motor protein movements within cells, highlighting the importance of in vivo analysis due to the complex intracellular environment. We suggest EVA as a tool for extracting motor proteins' physical properties in vivo and discuss its potential in other biological systems. While there have been only a few applications of EVA to biological systems, it holds promise for uncovering hidden properties in extreme data, promoting its broader application in life sciences.

description: Our study determines the competitive positions of the dairy sectors of Hungary and the other European Union (EU) Member States in the light of the abolition of the milk quota. We analyse the recent market positions of the EU Member States, the changes in the relationships between global, EU and Hungarian milk procurement prices, and the medium-term forecasts for the international markets for milk and milk products, including the results of our own model. In most Member States, milk production is below the quota level, although the most competitive countries are paying substantial penalties for excess production. The medium-term projections and the price relationships underline the fact that, due to the liberalisation of the milk market and the rapid rise in global demand, the impacts of global market developments in the EU will be further enhanced. Owing to sustained international demand, the EU’s export opportunities will improve, reducing the pressure on the internal market, and this will have a spill over effect on Hungarian milk prices. Although in terms of trade balance and quota utilisation Hungary is one of the least competitive Member States, the concentration, modernisation and selection processes that have taken place in the country’s dairy sector in recent years could, taking into account the favourable medium-term market forecasts, result in a slight increase in milk production levels. Thus, in contrast to the European Commission’s projection, according to our profitability based model projection the Hungarian dairy herd and milk production are expected to increase slightly during the period 2016-2020.

title: Conceptual Metaphor, Human-Computer Interaction And Music: Applying Conceptual Metaphor To The Design And Analysis Of Music Interactions
Creators: name: Wilkie, Katie Louise
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Interaction design for domains that involve complex abstractions can present significant challenges. This problem is particularly acute in domains where users lack effective means to conceptualise and articulate relevant abstractions. In this thesis, we investigate the use of domain-specific conceptual metaphors to address the challenge of presenting complex abstractions, using tonal harmony as an extended case study. This thesis presents a methodology for applying domain-specific conceptual metaphors to interactions designs for music. This domain involves complex abstractions where users with any degree of domain knowledge may have difficulty in articulating concepts. The methodology comprises several parts. Firstly, the thesis explores methods for systematically guiding conversation between musicians to elicit speech that describes music using conceptual metaphors. Recommendations for the most suitable methods are made. Secondly, the thesis presents a methodology for identifying image schemas and conceptual metaphors from transcriptions of conversations between musicians. The methodology covers rules for identifying source image schemas and extrapolating conceptual metaphors. Thirdly, the thesis presents a methodology for evaluating existing music interaction designs using domain-specific conceptual metaphors. We demonstrate that this approach can be used to identify potential areas for improvement as well as tensions in the design between certain tasks or abstractions. Fourthly, the thesis presents a case study for the development of a conceptual metaphor-influenced design process. In the case study, a set of materials are developed to be used by participants in the design process to facilitate the mapping of conceptual metaphors to elements of an interaction design without requiring knowledge of Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Finally, a pilot study is presented integrating the results of the conceptual metaphor-influenced design process into a consistent and useful prototype system. Compromises and refinements to the design proposals made during the design process are discussed and the resulting system design is detailed.

description: The study assesses the employment dynamics of LAU1 regions in Czechia (Czech Republic) in the period 2001-2011 using the territorial approach. It is operationalised on the basis of typological regions. Regions are differentiated firstly by their rurality according to the OECD methodology and the development of non-agricultural employment is used as the second differentiating characteristic. This reflects the regional differentiation based on the character of regional employment development potential. The specifics of rural regions are highlighted. Employment dynamics are assessed in the light of the process of employment restructuring both in its territorial and sectoral characteristics. The results illustrate employment in the service sector to be a viable driver of employment development regardless the degree of rurality but in absolute effects conditioned by its value. Furthermore,the employment development is conditioned by the sectoral structure of regional employment. Components of employment development are identified by application of shift-share analysis. The strength of the competitive effect describing the existence of locational advantages for specific sectors is further relativised to calculate its relevance for employment change. In conclusion,the existence of locational advantages has only a minor impact in terms of its relative size on employment change that would normally be expected. Therefore,either more precise regional differentiation is needed or the more disaggregated groups of sectors should be used.

description: In lateral quantum dots, the combined effect of both Dresselhaus and Bychkov-Rashba spin orbit coupling is equivalent to an effective magnetic field B_so which has the opposite sign for s_z=1/2 spin electrons. When the external magnetic field is perpendicular to the planar structure, the field B_so generates an additional splitting for electron states as compared to the spin splitting in the in-plane field orientation. The anisotropy of spin splitting has been measured and then analyzed in terms of spin-orbit coupling in several AlGaAs/GaAs quantum dots by means of resonanat tunneling spectroscopy. From the measured values and sign of the anisotropy we are able to determine the dominating spin-orbit coupling mechanism.

description: The main hypothesis behind the paper is that creating an entrepreneurial team learning environment is a way to increase human and social capital in rural regions. Our work, based on literature review and primary research, tries to show that this process could support a shift in people’s attitudes from being reactive to creative and also interdependent. The results of a Delphi survey show that all four ‘spheres’ of the Quadruple Helix model in rural development (government, science/university, business/industry and civil society) should play a role in the development of a learning environment, but that more importance should be attached to ‘pull’ type of learning designed to draw out people and resources as needed to address opportunities and challenges. In a second survey, among farmers in the Hungarian settlements of Mezőcsát, we found significant differences in the use of information channels by different age groups. Personal meetings are preferred by older farmers and the Internet by young farmers. With regard to the Quadruple Helix model spheres, from the government sphere farmers’ advisors play the most important role while from the business/industry sphere the most important relationship for farmers is with their peers. We conclude that the four spheres must create an ‘outside-in’ and ‘inside-out’ partnership. As creating entrepreneurial culture is a slow process, existing elements, such as the LEADER programme, building on those farmers who are ready to take part in rural development and the preferred usage of the Internet by the younger generation, have to be used.

description: It is discussed how stochastic evolutions may be connected to SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten models. Transformations of primary fields are generated by the Virasoro group and an affine extension of the Lie group SU(2). The transformations may be treated and linked separately to stochastic evolutions. A combination allows one to associate a set of stochastic evolutions to the affine Sugawara construction. The singular-vector decoupling generating the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations may thus be related to stochastic evolutions. The latter are based on an infinite-dimensional Brownian motion.

description: A brief overview of rural Romanian phenomena and processes in modern history reveals that rural areas and small rural households were highly stable systems, providing social and economic security. In all history, except during the communist period, small-scale agriculture was and continues to be the main provider of jobs in the rural labour market in the absence of other non-agricultural employment opportunities. In all times, consumption of self-produced food, supported by small farms, has had a leverage effect against poverty. More than that, the statistical information shows that small farms achieve higher levels of economic performance compared to large farms by diversifying their production structure and, through that, they make an important contribution to national food security. In the post-communist period (i.e. after 1989) in Romania, these functions and roles of the small farms have been restored and are widely recognised. If the meaning of ‘socio-economic resilience’ is the ability of an individual, of a household, community, region or country to resist, to adapt and to recover quickly after a crisis, shock or change, the economic and social functions and roles assumed in the transition period by small Romanian rural farms give them the attributes of a resilient answer of the entire Romania to the post-communist changes and shocks.

description: Whilst many technologies are built around endoscopy, there is a need to have a comprehensive dataset collected from multiple centers to address the generalization issues with most deep learning frameworks. What could be more important than disease detection and localization? Through our extensive network of clinical and computational experts, we have collected, curated and annotated gastrointestinal endoscopy video frames. We have released this dataset and have launched disease detection and segmentation challenge EDD2020 https://edd2020.grand-challenge.org to address the limitations and explore new directions. EDD2020 is a crowd sourcing initiative to test the feasibility of recent deep learning methods and to promote research for building robust technologies. In this paper, we provide an overview of the EDD2020 dataset, challenge tasks, evaluation strategies and a short summary of results on test data. A detailed paper will be drafted after the challenge workshop with more detailed analysis of the results.

Polygyny in rabbinic literature
Creators: name: Glaim, Aaron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Modern scholars of Jewish Studies have long recognized that rabbinic texts from late antiquity accept the legality of polygynous marriage and legislate on a variety of situations involving multiple wives. Many of these same scholars have also argued, however, that rabbinic literature contains an obscrvable ’monogamous trend,’ which promotes monogamy and condemns polygyny. In order to evaluate this claim, and to further the academic understanding of this subject, this thesis analyzes and contextualizes a comprehensive body of rabbinic legal and narrative texts that intersect significantly with polygyny. This study considers relevant articles of post-biblical rabbinic legislation, as well as subsequent discussions of this legislation, in the legal domains of levirate marriage law, procreation law, betrothal law, inheritance law, testimony law and monarchy law. It also considers narrative, interpretive and prescriptive texts involving multiple wives. These texts are drawn from the Tosefta, the Mishnah, the Palestinian and Babylonian Talmuds, various midrash collections and the Targum to Ruth. The study explicates the legal and conceptual principles, social assumptions and interpretive maneuvers that motivate these texts. This procedure allows for the cogent isolation and identification of a somewhat narrow range of rabbinic perspectives on the issue of polygyny. This thesis shows that previous studies have by and large understated the polygynous aspect of rabbinic literature while simultaneously overstating the case for a monogamous trend.

title: Production and use of documentation in scientific software development
Creators: name: Pawlik, Aleksandra
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Software is becoming ubiquitous in science. The success of the application of scientific software depends on effective communication about what the software does and how it operates. Documentation captures the communication about the software. For that reason, practices around scientific software documentation need to be better understood. This thesis presents four qualitative empirical studies that look in depth at the production and use of documentation of scientific software. Together, the studies provide evidence emphasising the importance of documentation and shows the handshake between written documentation and the informal, ephemeral information exchange that happens within the community. Four reasons behind the obstacles to producing effective scientific software documentation are identified: 1) the insufficient resources; 2) lack of incentives for researchers; 3) the influence of the community of practice; 4) the necessity of keeping up with the regular advancements of science. Benefits of the process of producing documentation are also identified: 1) aiding reasoning; 2) supporting reproducibility of science; 3) in certain contexts, expanding the community of users and developers around the software. The latter is investigated through a case study of documentation ‘crowdsourcing’. The research reveals that there is a spectrum of users, with differing needs with respect to documentation. This, in turn, requires different approaches in addressing their needs. The research shows that the view of what constitutes documentation must be broad, in order to recognise how wide a range of resources (e.g., formal documents, email, online fora, comments in the source code) is actually used in communicating knowledge about scientific software. Much of the information about the software resides within the community of practice (and may not be documented). These observations are of practical use for those producing documentation in different contexts of scientific software development, for example providing guidance about engaging a community in ‘crowdsourcing’ documentation.

description: Quenching of light emission from an LAB based scintillator by the addition of organic amines and carboxylic acids is examined. Chemical functional groups of the quenching agents play an important role in this reduction. It is shown that "salt" formation at a 1:1 mole ratio in a mixed amine-acid system, reduces quenching by a factor of 2. Supporting NMR spectra are presented. This "quenching neutralization" has the potential to reduce the light loss incurred when metals complexed with quenching agents are loaded into organic scintillators.
