description: We show that observation of the time-dependent effect of microlensing of relativistically broadened emission lines (such as e.g. the Fe Kalpha line in X-rays) in strongly lensed quasars could provide data on celestial mechanics of circular orbits in the direct vicinity of the horizon of supermassive black holes. This information can be extracted from the observation of evolution of red / blue edge of the magnified line just before and just after the period of crossing of the innermost stable circular orbit by the microlensing caustic. The functional form of this evolution is insensitive to numerous astrophysical parameters of the accreting black hole and of the microlensing caustics network system (as opposed to the evolution the full line spectrum). Measurement of the temporal evolution of the red / blue edge could provide a precision measurement of the radial dependence of the gravitational redshift and of velocity of the circular orbits, down to the innermost stable circular orbit. These measurements could be used to discriminate between the General Relativity and alternative models of the relativistic gravity in which the dynamics of photons and massive bodies orbiting the gravitating centre is different from that of the geodesics in the Schwarzschild or Kerr space-times.

description: The uniformly hyperbolic Anosov C-systems defined on a torus have very strong instability of their trajectories, as strong as it can be in principle. These systems have exponential instability of all their trajectories and as such have mixing of all orders, nonzero Kolmogorov entropy and a countable set of everywhere dense periodic trajectories. In this paper we are studying the properties of their spectrum and of the entropy. For a two-parameter family of C-system operators A(N,s), parametrised by the integers N and s, we found the universal limiting form of the spectrum, the dependence of entropy on N and the period of its trajectories on a rational sublattice. One can deduce from this result that the entropy and the periods are sharply increasing with N. We present a new three-parameter family of C-operators A(N,s,m) and analyse the dependence of its spectrum and of the entropy on the parameter m. We developed our earlier suggestion to use these tuneable Anosov C-systems for multipurpos Monte-Carlo simulations. The MIXMAX family of random number generators based on Anosov C-systems provide high quality statistical properties, thanks to their large entropy, have the best combination of speed, reasonable size of the state, tuneable parameters and availability for implementing the parallelisation.

description: We investigate experimentally the undirected open microwave network $Γ$ with internal absorption composed of two coupled directed halves, unidirectional networks $Γ_{+} $ and $Γ_{-} $, corresponding to two possible directions of motion on their edges. The two-port scattering matrix of the network $Γ$ is measured and the spectral statistics and the elastic enhancement factor of the network are evaluated. The comparison of the number of experimental resonances with the theoretical one predicted by the Weyl's law shows that within the experimental resolution the resonances are doubly degenerate. This conclusion was also corroborated by the numerical calculations. Though the network is characterized by the time reversal symmetry the missing level spectral statistics and the elastic enhancement factor are rather close to the Gaussian unitary ensemble predictions in random matrix theory. We used numerical calculations for the open non-dissipative quantum graph possessing the same structure as the microwave network $Γ$ to investigate the doublet structures in the spectrum which otherwise would not be experimentally resolved. We show that the doublet size distribution is close to the Poisson distribution.
title: 'We're like one, big, dysfunctional family' : struggling to define the role of residential child care workers
Creators: name: Fowler, Nadine
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2015

description: Understanding the complexities of working in residential child care is a difficult, and somewhat daunting, task. Research has highlighted that staff members perform a number of duties in the day-to-day lives of young people (Connelly and Milligan, 2012). Alongside these duties, staff members also have a 'professional' responsibility and identity in the residential unit (Smith, 2009). As a result, being both an 'employee' and 'parental figure' can be a difficult role to comprehend. In the project discussed here, 13 residential child care workers were interviewed and asked to discuss their views on 'parenting' the young people in their care. The study found that whilst some staff members identified as a substitute or surrogate 'parent' to the young people, others were clear that they could not replace biological parents. Nevertheless, all staff members highlighted that their role was increasingly complex and difficult to define. Further research in this area is necessary in order to understand the impact of these findings on the residential care sector. What is increasingly clear, however, is that the role of residential child care workers is a complex and every-changing one that cannot be easily understood.

description: The atmospheric chemistry of isoprene contributes to the production of a substantial mass fraction of the particulate matter (PM) over tropical forests. Isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX) produced in the gas phase by the oxidation of isoprene under HO2-dominant conditions are subsequently taken up by particles, thereby leading to production of secondary organic PM. The present study investigates possible perturbations to this pathway by urban pollution. The measurement site in central Amazonia was located 4 to 6 h downwind of Manaus, Brazil. Measurements took place from February through March 2014 of the wet season, as part of the GoAmazon2014/5 experiment. Mass spectra of organic PM collected with an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer were analyzed by positive-matrix factorization. One resolved statistical factor (IEPOX-SOA factor) was associated with PM production by the IEPOX pathway. The IEPOX-SOA factor loadings correlated with independently measured mass concentrations of tracers of IEPOX-derived PM, namely C5-alkene triols and 2-methyltetrols (R = 0. 96 and 0.78, respectively). The factor loading, as well as the ratio f of the loading to organic PM mass concentration, decreased under polluted compared to background conditions. For an increase in NOy concentration from 0.5 to 2 ppb, the factor loading and f decreased by two to three fold. Overall, sulfate concentration explained 37 % of the variability in the factor loading. After segregation of factor loading into subsets based on NOy concentration, the sulfate concentration explained up to 75 % of the variability. Considering both factors, the data sets show that the suppressing effects of increased NO concentrations dominated over the enhancing effects of higher sulfate concentrations. The pollution from Manaus elevated NOy concentrations more significantly than sulfate concentrations relative to background conditions. In this light, increased emissions of nitrogen oxides, as anticipated for some scenarios of Amazonian economic development, could significantly alter pathways of PM production that presently prevail over the tropical forest, implying changes to air quality and regional climate.
Applying the Situated Assessment Method (SAM^2) to mindfulness and assessing its ability to predict stress
Creators: name: Barsalou, Lawrence
name: Dutriaux, Léo
name: Cleland, Emma
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: The SAM^2 framework for assessing health behaviours will be applied to mindfulness, developing a new situated measure of mindfulness, thereby created a situated version of the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). This instrument will then be used to assess trait mindfulness in an initial exploratory study. Of interest is how well the overall SAM^2 measure of mindfulness correlates with the overall FFMQ measure, and also how well each of the five original subscales in the FFMQ correlate across instruments. We predict that these correlations will only be low to moderate, with the two instruments capturing different information. This is because the FFMQ captures high-level abstractions about trait mindfulness, whereas SAM^2 captures more direct situated forms of it. Because much research shows that stress decreases with trait mindfulness, we will also assess relations between the two measures of mindfulness and two additional measures of stress: the classic Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and a SAM^2 measure of stress that we have evaluated in three previous studies (which has been only weakly correlated with the PSS). We predict that the SAM^2 measure of mindfulness will predict the SAM^2 measure of stress better than the FFMQ measure of mindfulness predicts the PSS. In other words, prediction should be higher when more powerful situated assessments are made, compared to assessing relations between abstractions over situations

description: Recently, significant progress has been made in conceptually describing the dynamic aspects of coarse particle entrainment, which has been explored experimentally for open channel flows. The aim of this study is to extend the application of energy criterion to the low mobility aeolian transport of solids (including both natural sediment and anthropogenic debris such as plastics), ranging from incomplete (rocking) to full (rolling) entrainments. This is achieved by linking particle movements to energetic flow events, which are defined as flow structures with the ability to work on particles, setting them into motion. It is hypothesized that such events should impart sufficient energy to the particles, above a certain threshold value. The concept's validity is demonstrated experimentally, using a wind tunnel and laser distance sensor (LDS) to capture the dynamics of an individual target particle, exposed on a rough bed surface. Measurements are acquired at a high spatiotemporal resolution, and synchronously with the instantaneous air velocity at an appropriate distance upwind of the target particle, using a hot film anemometer. This enables the association of flow events with rocking and rolling entrainments. Furthermore, it is shown that rocking and rolling may have distinct energy thresholds. Estimates of the energy transfer efficiency, normalized by the drag coefficient, range over an order of magnitude (from about 0.001 to 0.0048 for rocking, up to about 0.01, for incipient rolling). The proposed event-based theoretical framework is a novel approach to characterizing the energy imparted from the wind to the soil surface and could have potential implications for modelling intermittent creep transport of coarse particles and related aeolian bedforms.

Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2015

description: This article reports on research and professional development activities across six European countries, including Scotland, looking at the boundary issues that arise when children require both residential child care and mental health services. It locates Scottish findings within a wider European context. The intention of the project was to enhance mutual understanding and improve inter-professional working between the two services through the development of a joint training programme. However, the research identifies widespread and persistent divergences in the status and respective expectations of the two groups of professionals. It is suggested that these differences are not readily resolved through simple exhortations for better inter-professional working but may reflect more fundamental divides in status but also in professional knowledges. A conclusion that might be drawn is that residential workers cannot rely on the kind of expert support they might like from mental health professionals and hence have to find ways of addressing children's mental health difficulties within contexts of everyday care.

description: Energy dissipation is highly intermittent in turbulent plasmas, being localized in coherent structures such as current sheets. The statistical analysis of spatial dissipative structures is an effective approach to studying turbulence. In this paper, we generalize this methodology to investigate four-dimensional spatiotemporal structures, i.e., dissipative processes representing sets of interacting coherent structures, which correspond to flares in astrophysical systems. We develop methods for identifying and characterizing these processes, and then perform a statistical analysis of dissipative processes in numerical simulations of driven magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We find that processes are often highly complex, long-lived, and weakly asymmetric in time. They exhibit robust power-law probability distributions and scaling relations, including a distribution of dissipated energy with power-law index near -1.75, indicating that intense dissipative events dominate the overall energy dissipation. We compare our results with the previously observed statistical properties of solar flares.

Here, we demonstrate a finite-element method using hp-adaptivity on tetrahedral meshes for computation of electromagnetic fields in a device with rough textures. The method allows for efficient computations on meshes with strong variations in element sizes. This enables to use precise geometry resolution of the rough textures. Convergence to highly accurate results is observed.

description: The regulatory Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model is a means to understanding the sources, concentrations and regulatory attainment of air pollutants within a model's domain. Substantial resources are allocated to the evaluation of model performance. The Regionalized Air quality Model Performance (RAMP) method introduced here explores novel ways of visualizing and evaluating CMAQ model performance and errors for daily Particulate Matter ≤ 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) concentrations across the continental United States. The RAMP method performs a non-homogenous, non-linear, non-homoscedastic model performance evaluation at each CMAQ grid. This work demonstrates that CMAQ model performance, for a well-documented 2001 regulatory episode, is non-homogeneous across space/time. The RAMP correction of systematic errors outperforms other model evaluation methods as demonstrated by a 22.1% reduction in Mean Square Error compared to a constant domain wide correction. The RAMP method is able to accurately reproduce simulated performance with a correlation of r = 76.1%. Most of the error coming from CMAQ is random error with only a minority of error being systematic. Areas of high systematic error are collocated with areas of high random error, implying both error types originate from similar sources. Therefore, addressing underlying causes of systematic error will have the added benefit of also addressing underlying causes of random error.

description: Measurement techniques that provide molecular-level information are needed to elucidate the multiphase processes that produce secondary organic aerosol (SOA) species in the atmosphere. Here we demonstrate the application of ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS–MS) to the simultaneous characterization of the elemental composition and molecular structures of organic species in the gas and particulate phases. Molecular ions of gas-phase organic species are measured online with IMS–MS after ionization with a custom-built nitrate chemical ionization (CI) source. This CI–IMS–MS technique is used to obtain time-resolved measurements (5 min) of highly oxidized organic molecules during the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS) ambient field campaign in the forested SE US. The ambient IMS–MS signals are consistent with laboratory IMS–MS spectra obtained from single-component carboxylic acids and multicomponent mixtures of isoprene and monoterpene oxidation products. Mass-mobility correlations in the 2-D IMS–MS space provide a means of identifying ions with similar molecular structures within complex mass spectra and are used to separate and identify monoterpene oxidation products in the ambient data that are produced from different chemical pathways. Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) constituents of fine aerosol particles that are not resolvable with standard analytical separation methods, such as liquid chromatography (LC), are shown to be separable with IMS–MS coupled to an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. The capability to use ion mobility to differentiate between isomers is demonstrated for organosulfates derived from the reactive uptake of isomers of isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX) onto wet acidic sulfate aerosol. Controlled fragmentation of precursor ions by collisionally induced dissociation (CID) in the transfer region between the IMS and the MS is used to validate MS peak assignments, elucidate structures of oligomers, and confirm the presence of the organosulfate functional group.

My theme tonight is leadership particularly focused on child protection. Over the years, like many of you here, I have had to complete questionnaires about personality traits and decision making preferences which are then converted into leadership styles. There was The KAI score on the adaptive innovative continuum, the Myers Briggs scales, and various colour related tests, to mention the ones I can remember, all derived from psychometric testing and interpretation whose validity has subsequently been called into question. The body of knowledge and theory about leadership is mostly dull and dry as dust - and so unlike the many colourful leaders we are familiar with.

Year: 2016

description: Differences in joint attention (JA) are prominent for some children with autism and are often used as an indicator of the disorder. This study examined the JA competencies of young children with autism who demonstrated JA ability and compared them to children with developmental delays. Method: Forty children with autism and developmental delays were matched pairwise based on mental and chronological age. Videos of children engaging in play were coded for the frequency and forms (eye contact, gestures, affect, etc.) of JA. Additionally, concurrent language was compared among children with autism (N=32) by their JA ability. Results: Children with ASD entered into JA significantly less often than children with DD but once engaged, used the forms of JA similarly. For the matched pairs there were no differences in language but the children with autism who used JA had significantly better language than children with autism who did not (even after controlling for mental age). Conclusions: There is a group of young children with autism who can use JA but do so at lower frequencies than children with DD. Possible reasons include difficulty disengaging attention and limited intrinsic social motivation to share. Adult persistence is recommended to encourage JA.

description: Shift current and second harmonic generation (SHG) are nonlinear optical responses that are often used for photovoltaic effect and the detection of subtle symmetry breaking patterns in materials. It has been recently shown that topological semimetals such as Weyl semimetals with broken inversion symmetry can generate large nonlinear optical responses. In this paper, we investigate both shift current and SHG in a class of topological nodal line semimetal (NLSM) systems with broken inversion symmetry, which may arise intrinsically or via an applied electric field. It is shown that certain classes of NLSM systems offer more singular shift current and SHG in comparison to the well-known Weyl semimetal systems.

description: The goal of the present study is to provide a replication of Gatner et al. (2016). Specifically, we will examine whether Boldness bears curvilinear relations to criteria, provides incremental predictive utility, and/or interacts with the other domains from Triarchic Model of Psychopathy (TPM; Patrick et al., 2009). We do this with an eye to increasing the statistical power to detect increments in variance accounted, interactions and curvilinear relationships—the critical tests of interest. We do so by doubling the original sample size and working with more liberal alpha levels. Increased power is particularly important when testing these hypotheses so as to make null effects, if found, more meaningful.

description: We investigate full off-shell effects in $t\bar{t}b\bar{b}$ production in the dilepton channel at the LHC with the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. Specifically, we compute NLO QCD corrections to the $pp \to e^+ ν_e μ^- \barν_μb \bar{b} b \bar{b} + X$ process and provide a prescription for $b$-jet identification to distinguish prompt $b$ jets from $b$ jets originating from the decay of the top quarks. As an important irreducible background to $pp \to t\bar{t}H (H\to b\bar{b})$, $t\bar{t}$ production in association with two prompt $b$ jets is a primary source of uncertainty in the measurement of $t\bar{t}H (H\to b\bar{b})$. In quantifying full off-shell effects, we perform comparisons between the state-of-the-art full off-shell computation and the calculation in the narrow width approximation. The former includes all double-, single- and non-resonant Feynman diagrams, interferences as well as finite-width effects of the top quarks and $W$ gauge bosons. The latter restricts the unstable top quarks and $W$ gauge bosons to on-shell states and includes for the first time NLO QCD corrections to both production and decays. We observe that full off-shell effects are subdominant compared to the scale uncertainties for the integrated fiducial cross section and for the majority of differential observables in the phase-space regions that we investigated. However, for a number of observables related to beyond the Standard Model searches, full off-shell effects are significant. Furthermore, with our $b$-jet labelling prescription, the prompt $b$ jets and the $b$ jets from top-quark decays can be successfully disentangled.

description: I never for one moment missed not having my natural parents around. Being in one place for my entire childhood until the age of sixteen gave me everything any child needs to have. I had stability, education, love and security – exactly what any parents [sic] wants for their child - as Miss Martin and her staff made sure that all of the children at Tenterfield never missed out on all these things. (Irvine, 2010, p.201) Thus Margaret Irvine described her childhood in residential care in the 1940s and 50s. Others have reported similar experiences, citing carers who made a difference, who acted as role models and offered opportunities not possible if they had remained at home (Hawthorn, unpublished; Divine, 2013). Likewise, practitioners hold memories of loving and caring for the children and young people in their charge. In the 1980s, however, concerns began to emerge in the UK about what is now referred to as historical institutional child abuse. Although there had periodically been disquiet about the quality of residential childcare over the years (Kendrick and Hawthorn, 2012), such concern became more sustained, escalating during the 1990s. This paper will outline the process in Scotland of using a Human Rights Framework to address the issue.

description: Building on work of Boneh, Durfee and Howgrave-Graham, we present a deterministic algorithm that provably finds all integers $p$ such that $p^r \mathrel| N$ in time $O(N^{1/4r+ε})$ for any $ε> 0$. For example, the algorithm can be used to test squarefreeness of $N$ in time $O(N^{1/8+ε})$; previously, the best rigorous bound for this problem was $O(N^{1/6+ε})$, achieved via the Pollard--Strassen method.

description: We extend the method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics to investigate dineutron correlation. We apply this method to $^{10}$Be as an example and investigate the motion of two neutrons around a largely deformed $^8$Be core by analyzing the two-neutron overlap function around the core. We show that the core structure plays an important role in dineutron formation and expansion from the core and that the present framework is effective for the studies of dineutron correlation.

description: Atypical sensory and repetitive behaviors are defining features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are thought to be influenced by environmental factors; however, there is a lack of naturalistic research exploring contexts surrounding these behaviors. The current study involved video recording observations of 32 children with ASD (2 – 12 years of age) engaging in sensory and repetitive behaviors during home activities. Behavioral coding was used to determine what activity contexts, sensory modalities, and stimulus characteristics were associated with specific behavior types: hyperresponsive, hyporesponsive, sensory seeking, and repetitive/stereotypic. Results indicated that hyperresponsive behaviors were most associated with activities of daily living and family-initiated stimuli, whereas sensory seeking behaviors were associated with free play activities and child-initiated stimuli. Behaviors associated with multiple sensory modalities simultaneously were common, emphasizing the multi-sensory nature of children’s behaviors in natural contexts. Implications for future research more explicitly considering context are discussed.

description: Adiabatic protocols are employed across a variety of quantum technologies, from implementing state preparation and individual operations that are building blocks of larger devices, to higher-level protocols in quantum annealing and adiabatic quantum computation. The problem of speeding up these processes has garnered a large amount of interest, resulting in a menagerie of approaches, most notably quantum optimal control and shortcuts to adiabaticity. The two approaches are complementary: optimal control manipulates control fields to steer the dynamics in the minimum allowed time while shortcuts to adiabaticity aim to retain the adiabatic condition upon speed-up. We outline a new method which combines the two methodologies and takes advantage of the strengths of each. The new technique improves upon approximate local counterdiabatic driving with the addition of time-dependent control fields. We refer to this new method as counterdiabatic optimised local driving (COLD) and we show that it can result in a substantial improvement when applied to annealing protocols, state preparation schemes, entanglement generation and population transfer on a lattice. We also demonstrate a new approach to the optimisation of control fields which does not require access to the wavefunction or the computation of system dynamics. COLD can be enhanced with existing advanced optimal control methods and we explore this using the chopped randomised basis method and gradient ascent pulse engineering.

Atypical Cross-Modal Profiles and Longitudinal Associations Between Vocabulary Scores in Initially Minimally Verbal Children With ASD: Atypical Profiles and Associations Between Vocabulary Scores in ASD

description: We tested the relative levels (i.e., age equivalencies) of concurrent cross-modality (receptive and expressive) vocabulary and the relative strength of the longitudinal, cross-modality associations between early and later vocabulary sizes in minimally verbal preschoolers with ASD. Eighty-seven children participated. Parent-reported vocabulary was assessed at four periods separated by 4 months each. Expressive age equivalent scores were higher than receptive age equivalent scores at all four periods. Cross-lagged panel analysis was used to rule out common, but trivial, explanations for differences between the longitudinal associations of interest. Key associations were tested across intervals that varied from 8 to 12 months. In two of the three tested panels, the associations between early expressive vocabulary size and later receptive vocabulary size were stronger than the associations between early receptive vocabulary size and later expressive vocabulary size, providing evidence that is consistent with the hypothesis that expressive vocabulary size drives receptive vocabulary size in minimally verbal preschoolers with ASD.

$ B_c B_c J/ψ$ Vertex Form Factor at Finite Temperature in the Framework of QCD Sum Rules Approach

description: The strong form factor of the $B_{c} B_{c}J/Ψ$ vertex is calculated in the framework of the QCD sum rules method at finite temperature. Taking into account additional operators appearing at finite temperature, thermal Wilson expansion is obtained and QCD sum rules are derived. While increasing temperature, the strong form factor remains unchanged up to $T\simeq100~MeV$ but slightly increases after this point. After $T\simeq160~MeV$, the form factor suddenly decreases up to $T\simeq170~MeV$. The obtained result of the coupling constant by fitting the form factor at $Q^2=-m^2_{offshell}$ at $T=0$ is in a very good agreement with the QCD sum rules calculations at vacuum. Our prediction can be checked in the future experiments.
