title: Representations of Crime, Justice, and Punishment in the Popular Press: A Study of the Illustrated Police News, 1864-1938
Creators: name: Smalley, Alice
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines the representation of crime, justice, and punishment in the popular press, with particular focus upon The Illustrated Police News, a weekly newspaper published between 1864 and 1938. The Illustrated Police News, notorious for its sensational reporting of the week’s most exciting and dramatic crimes, has traditionally been dismissed as a marginal publication. The style, content, and popularity of The Illustrated Police News challenges the view that the cultural imagination of Victorian Britain was narrowly defined by the ideal of respectability, or that by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries popular culture had been successfully tamed. The study employs a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the content of The Illustrated Police News, sampling the newspaper at six-year intervals throughout its seventy-four years of publication. This statistical examination of the newspaper’s core components, including its illustrations, sensational reports, police court reporting, and advertisements, reveals a complex story of change, continuity, and the remaking of representations of crime. The Illustrated Police News’s crime content continued to be shaped by the newspaper’s methods of production, availability of news, and the requirements of the physical space of the page. Strikingly, wood-engravings continued to be used after the introduction of photographs in the press, and execution continued to be used as source of entertainment long after the abolition of public execution in 1868. Alongside these continuities in content, style, and audience, there were also important changes. In response to changing working-class leisure practices, The Illustrated Police News increased its sporting and gambling content and altered its layout, whilst during the First World War coverage of the war almost entirely replaced crime reporting. This, along with the noticeable continuities, show that the newspaper was actively engaged with reader demand, driven by the two main concerns of commercial viability and feasibility.

description: The Boolean lattice of logical statements induces the free distributive lattice of questions. Inclusion on this lattice is based on whether one question answers another. Generalizing the zeta function of the question lattice leads to a valuation called relevance or bearing, which is a measure of the degree to which one question answers another. Richard Cox conjectured that this degree can be expressed as a generalized entropy. With the assistance of yet another important result from Janos Aczel, I show that this is indeed the case, and that the resulting inquiry calculus is a natural generalization of information theory. This approach provides a new perspective on the Principle of Maximum Entropy.

description: Quantum Martin-Löf randomness (q-MLR) for infinite qubit sequences was introduced by Nies and Scholz. We define a notion of quantum Solovay randomness which is equivalent to q-MLR. The proof of this goes through a purely linear algebraic result about approximating density matrices by subspaces. We then show that random states form a convex set. Martin-Löf absolute continuity is shown to be a special case of q-MLR. Quantum Schnorr randomness is introduced. A quantum analogue of the law of large numbers is shown to hold for quantum Schnorr random states.

description: Consider a 2-plane $P \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ and let $D$ be a bounded region in $P$ with a piecewise-smooth boundary. Let $I(D)$ be the infimum of areas of all piecewise-smooth isotropic surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with the same boundary as $D$. Then $I(D)= λ_P^n \cdot Area(D)$. If $P$ is not complex, $λ_P^n < \frac{3π}{2\sqrt{2}}$. For a complex plane $\mathbb{C} \subset \mathbb{C}^n$, $λ_{\mathbb{C}}^n \geq 2$, $λ_{\mathbb{C}}^2 \geq 3$ and also $\frac{3π^2}{2\sqrt{2}}$ is the area of an explicit Hamiltonian stationary isotropic Mobius band embedded in $\mathbb{C}^n$ whose boundary is a unit circle in $\mathbb{C}$. As a corollary, a compact surface $Σ$ (possibly with boundary) in a symplectic manifold can be approximated by isotropic surfaces of area $\leq \frac{3π}{2\sqrt{2}} Area(Σ)$. Another corollary is that a closed curve of length $l$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ bounds an isotropic surface of area $\leq \frac{3l^2}{8\sqrt{2}}$. A related result is the following: consider $\mathbb{C}P^1 \subset \mathbb{C}P^n$ and let $D$ be a region in $\mathbb{C}P^1$. Let $I(D)$ be the infimum of areas of all isotropic surfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^n$ with the same boundary as $D$ representing the same relative homology class mod 2 as $D$. Then $ 2 \cdot Area(D) \leq I(D) \leq λ_{\mathbb{C}}^n \cdot Area(D)$. Moreover the first inequality becomes an equality for $D=\mathbb{C}P^1$.

description: A super-massive black hole (SMBH) binary in the core of the blazar OJ 287 has been invoked in previous works to explain its observed optical flare quasi-periodicity. Following this picture, we investigate a hadronic origin for the X-ray and $γ$-ray counterparts of the November 2015 major optical flare of this source. An impact outflow must result after the lighter SMBH (the secondary) crosses the accretion disc of the heavier one (the primary). We then consider acceleration of cosmic-ray (CR) protons in the shock driven by the impact outflow as it expands and collides with the active galactic nucleus (AGN) wind of the primary SMBH. We show that the emission of these CRs can reproduce the X-ray and $γ$-ray flare data self-consistently with the optical component of the November 2015 major flare. The derived emission models are consistent with a magnetic field $B \sim 5$ G in the emission region and a power-law index of $q\sim2.2$ for the energy distribution of the emitting CRs. The mechanical luminosity of the AGN wind represents $\lesssim 50\%$ of the mass accretion power of the primary SMBH in all the derived emission profiles.

title: Interaction Between the Metalloprotease ADAMTS-13 and the Proteins of the Alternative Pathway of the Complement System
Creators: name: Bettoni, Serena
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric protein that has a central role in hemostasis, has been shown to interact with complement components. However results are contrasting and inconclusive. By studying 20 patients with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) who can not cleave VWF multimers due to genetic ADAMTS13 deficiency, we investigated the mechanism through which VWF modulates complement, and its pathophysiological implications for human diseases. Using assays of ex-vivo serum-induced C3 and C5b-9 deposits on endothelial cells we documented that in cTTP complement is activated via the alternative pathway on the cell surface. This abnormality was corrected by restoring ADAMTS13 activity in cTTP serum, which prevented VWF multimer accumulation on endothelial cells, or by an anti-VWF antibody. This study documented: 1) ADAMTS13 is able to interact with FB, but how this interaction could modulate complement activation remains still unknown; 2) VWF does not affect regulatory complement activity of FH for inactivation of C3b or dissociation of C3 convertase, in contrast to what reported in literature; 3) VWF interacts with C3b through its A2 domain and initiates a previously unrecognized Calcium-dependent mechanism of alternative pathway activation, with assembly of active C3 and C5 convertases and formation of the terminal complement products, C5a and C5b-9. Finally, this work documented that in condition of ADAMTS13 deficiency, VWF-mediated formation of terminal complement products, particularly C5a, alters the endothelial anti-thrombogenic properties and induces microvascular thrombosis in a perfusion system. Altogether, the results demonstrated that VWF provides a platform for the activation of the alternative pathway of complement, which profoundly alters the phenotype of microvascular endothelial cells. These findings link hemostasis-thrombosis with the alternative pathway of complement and open new therapeutic perspectives in cTTP and in general in thrombotic and inflammatory disorders associated with endothelium perturbation, VWF release and complement activation.

description: Quasinormal modes of a scalar field perturbation are investigated in the background spacetime of Einstein-Yang-Mills black holes. The logarithmic term in the metric function of the five-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills black hole eliminates the divergence of the Hawking temperature but maintains the charge-dependent behavior of the quasinormal modes. The real and imaginary parts of quasinormal mode frequencies have the same charge-dependent behavior in different dimensions. Similar to the case of high dimensional Schwarzschild black holes, a compact approximate relation, $ω_{\rm R}\sim D/r_{+}$, also exists between the real part of the quasinormal mode frequencies $ω_{\rm R}$ and the number of dimensions $D$ in the higher than five dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills black holes.

description: The study evaluates the application of whistle blowing Act and it's implications using opinions of Journalist in Rivers State. To achieve this, the study raised three objectives, amongst others were to; analyze the effectiveness of the Whistleblowing Act in promoting transparency and accountability in Rivers State, Nigeria; assess the role of journalists in Rivers State in reporting and disseminating information related to whistleblowing and corruption. This study was anchored on two theories; the ethical theory and communication accommodation theory. The study adopted the survey research design, the population of this study comprised of all the registered journalists in Rivers State. Therefore, the total population of the study is 485. Taro Yamane sample size determination formula was used to arrive at the sample size of 228. Purposive sampling technique was used to administer the instrument to the respondents. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data gathering and data was analyzed using Weighted Mean Scores (four point Likert Scale). Findings of this study revealed that Whistleblowing Act impacts greatly in reducing corruption and in ensuring accountability when effectively implemented. Findings of this study showed that journalist have a lot of role to play in advocating for effective implementation of the Whistleblowing Act. The study concluded that Whistleblowing Act impacts greatly in reducing corruption and in ensuring accountability when effectively implemented. The study also concluded that journalist have a lot of role to play in advocating for effective implementation of the Whistleblowing Act.  The study recommended that to enhance transparency and accountability, the government of Rivers State should establish mechanisms for robust enforcement of the Whistleblowing Act. This includes creating secure, accessible platforms for reporting and ensuring comprehensive protection for whistleblowers to mitigate fear of retaliation. The study also recommended that journalists in Rivers State should be equipped with specialized training on investigative reporting, whistleblowing processes, and ethical reporting standards. This will enable them to effectively uncover and disseminate information on corruption while safeguarding the integrity of whistleblowers and their reports

Presupernova Evolution of Differentially Rotating Massive Stars Including Magnetic Fields

description: As a massive star evolves through multiple stages of nuclear burning on its way to becoming a supernova, a complex, differentially rotating structure is set up. Angular momentum is transported by a variety of classic instabilities, and also by magnetic torques from fields generated by the differential rotation. We present the first stellar evolution calculations to follow the evolution of rotating massive stars including, at least approximately, all these effects, magnetic and non-magnetic, from the zero-age main sequence until the onset of iron-core collapse. The evolution and action of the magnetic fields is as described by Spruit 2002 and a range of uncertain parameters is explored. In general, we find that magnetic torques decrease the final rotation rate of the collapsing iron core by about a factor of 30 to 50 when compared with the non-magnetic counterparts. Angular momentum in that part of the presupernova star destined to become a neutron star is an increasing function of main sequence mass. That is, pulsars derived from more massive stars will rotate faster and rotation will play a more dominant role in the star's explosion. The final angular momentum of the core is determined - to within a factor of two - by the time the star ignites carbon burning. For the lighter stars studied, around 15 solar masses, we predict pulsar periods at birth near 15 ms, though a factor of two range is easily tolerated by the uncertainties. Several mechanisms for additional braking in a young neutron star, especially by fall back, are also explored.

It was demonstrated that the marginal metallic phase near the Mott transition is susceptible to the field-induced localization transition of the first order, as was predicted theoretically. The thermodynamic consideration of the present results gives a conceptual pressure-field phase diagram of the Mott transition at low temperatures.

description: We report an analytical and numerical investigation into the impact of helicity inversion in LHC processes that do not conserve lepton number $(L)$. As a case study, we focus on the production and decay of Majorana neutrinos $(N)$ through on- and off-shell $W$ bosons in the Phenomenological Type I Seesaw model. Using the Monte Carlo event generator \texttt{MadGraph5\_aMC@NLO} in conjunction with the \texttt{HeavyN} model libraries, we perform exact matrix element (ME) computations without the narrow width approximation. Despite helicity inversion appearing explicitly in MEs, we report the absence of helicity suppression of $L$-violating collider observables for $1\to4$ and $2\to4$ processes that are dominated by resonant $N$ production. We attribute this incongruity to the different scalings of 4-momenta and squared 4-momenta in MEs and squared MEs, with exact cancelations occurring in the latter when $N$ goes on-shell in the small-width limit. In off-shell regimes, total suppression / enhancement of $L$ violation can emerge. Implications for other neutrino mass models are discussed.

description: In this paper, we present a novel meshfree framework for fluid flow simulations on arbitrarily curved surfaces. First, we introduce a new meshfree Lagrangian framework to model flow on surfaces. Meshfree points or particles, which are used to discretize the domain, move in a Lagrangian sense along the given surface. This is done without discretizing the bulk around the surface, without parametrizing the surface, and without a background mesh. A key novelty that is introduced is the handling of flow with evolving free boundaries on a curved surface. The use of this framework to model flow on moving and deforming surfaces is also introduced. Then, we present the application of this framework to solve fluid flow problems defined on surfaces numerically. In combination with a meshfree Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM), we introduce a strong form meshfree collocation scheme to solve the Navier-Stokes equations posed on manifolds. Benchmark examples are proposed to validate the Lagrangian framework and the surface Navier-Stokes equations with the presence of free boundaries.

description: We study lepton number violating (LNV) process of muon-positron conversion in nuclei mediated by the exchange of light and heavy Majorana neutrinos. Nuclear structure calculations have been carried out for the case of experimentally interesting nucleus 48Ti in the framework of renormalized proton-neutron Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation. We demonstrate that the imaginary part of the amplitude of light Majorana neutrino exchange mechanism gives an appreciable contribution to the muon-positron conversion rate. This specific feature is absent in the allied case of neutrinoless double beta decay. Using the present neutrino oscillations, tritium beta decay, accelerator and cosmological data we derived the limits on the effective masses of light _{μe} and heavy _{μe} neutrinos. The expected rates of muon-positron nuclear conversion, corresponding to these limits, were found to be so small that even within a distant future the muon-positron conversion experiments will hardly be able to detect the neutrino signal. Therefore, searches for this LNV process can only rely on the presence of certain physics beyond the trivial extension of the Standard Model by inclusion of massive Majorana neutrinos.

Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations
Creators: name: Noh, Jae Dong
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the extent to which the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis~(ETH) is valid or violated in the non-integrable and the integrable spin-$1/2$ XXZ chain. We perform the energy-resolved analysis of the statistical properties of matrix elements $\{O_{γα}\}$ of an observable $\hat{O}$ in the energy eigenstate basis. The Hilbert space is coarse-grained into energy shells of width $Δ_E$, with which one can define a block submatrix $\tilde{O}^{(b,a)}$ consisting of elements between eigenstates in the $a$th and $b$th shells. Each block submatrix is characterized by constant values of $E_{γα}=(E_γ+E_α)/2 \simeq \tilde{E}$ and $ω_{γα}= (E_γ-E_α) \simeq ω$ up to $Δ_E$. We will show that all matrix elements within a block are statistically equivalent to each other in the non-integrable case. Their distribution is characterized by $\bar{E}$ and $ω$, and follows the prediction of the ETH. In stark contrast, eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations persist in the integrable case. Consequently, matrix elements $O_{γα}$ cannot be characterized by the energy parameters $E_{γα}$ and $ω_{γα}$ only. Our result explains the origin for the breakdown of the fluctuation dissipation theorem in the integrable system. The eigenstate-to-eigenstate fluctuations sheds a new light on the meaning of the ETH.

Synchronization of internal and external degrees of freedom of atoms in a standing laser wave

description: We consider dissipative dynamics of atoms in a strong standing laser wave and find a nonlinear dynamical effect of synchronization between center-of-mass motion and internal Rabi oscillations. The synchronization manifests itself in the phase space as limit cycles which may have different periods and riddled basins of attraction. The effect can be detected in the fluorescence spectra of atoms as equidistant sideband frequencies with the space between adjacent peaks to be inversely proportional to the value of the period of the respective limit cycle. With increasing the intensity of the laser field, we observe numerically cascades of bifurcations that eventually end up in settling a strange chaotic attractor. A broadband noise is shown to destroy a fine structure of the bifurcation scenario, but prominent features of period-1 and period-3 limit cycles survive under a weak noise. The character of the atomic motion is analyzed with the help of the friction force whose zeroes are attractor or repellor points in the velocity space. We find ranges of the laser parameters where the atomic motion resembles a random but deterministic walking of atoms erratically jumping between different wells of the optical potential. Such a random walking is shown to be fractal in the sense that the measured characteristic of the motion, time of exit of atoms from a given space of the standing wave, is a complicated function that has a self-similar structure with singularities on a Cantor set of values of one of the control parameters.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This work focuses on a comparison between the performances of two well-known Swarm algorithms: Cuckoo Search (CS) and Firefly Algorithm (FA), in estimating the parameters of Software Reliability Growth Models. This study is further reinforced using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). All algorithms are evaluated according to real software failure data, the tests are performed and the obtained results are compared to show the performance of each of the used algorithms. Furthermore, CS and FA are also compared with each other on bases of execution time and iteration number. Experimental results show that CS is more efficient in estimating the parameters of SRGMs, and it has outperformed FA in addition to PSO and ACO for the selected Data sets and employed models.

description: The article provides a pedagogical review aimed at graduate students in materials science, physics, and applied mathematics, focusing on recent developments in the subject. Following a brief summary of concepts from complex analysis, the article begins with an overview of continuous conformal-map dynamics. This includes problems of interfacial motion driven by harmonic fields (such as viscous fingering and void electromigration), bi-harmonic fields (such as viscous sintering and elastic pore evolution), and non-harmonic, conformally invariant fields (such as growth by advection-diffusion and electro-deposition). The second part of the article is devoted to iterated conformal maps for analogous problems in stochastic interfacial dynamics (such as diffusion-limited aggregation, dielectric breakdown, brittle fracture, and advection-diffusion-limited aggregation). The third part notes that all of these models can be extended to curved surfaces by an auxilliary conformal mapping from the complex plane, such as stereographic projection to a sphere. The article concludes with an outlook for further research.

Fragmentation and eros in Debussy's Chanson de Bilitis and Six Épigraphes antiques
Creators: name: Iwaasa, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Debussy based one of his last piano works, the Six Epigraphes antiques of 1914, on some unpublished incidental music he had composed in 1901 for Pierre Louys's Chansons de Bilitis. The original Bilitis music has typically been disparaged as a rough draft, left in fragments because Debussy didn't have enough time to finish it. The longer, more unified piano pieces are conventionally regarded as the polished, completed form of the earlier material. This dissertation argues that fragmentation is a central symbol in Louys's Chansons de Bilitis, and that rough edges, broken forms and extreme brevity of Debussy's musique de scene constitute a sensitive response to the poetic text. The two works are related to historical fragmentary procedures in both literature and music. The loss of the celesta part for the incidental music is proposed as an aesthetically significant, and perhaps intentional, reflection of the poetry's themes of historical loss and decay. It is suggested that the work should therefore be performed without reconstructing the missing celesta part, and to this end, a new transcription of the work for flute and piano is included as an appendix, compiled from the surviving manuscript sources. In this light, the treatment of musical themes and poetic references in the Six Epigraphes antiques is analyzed as a later repudiation of Louys's aesthetic and moral philosophies. The friendship between these two artists and their rupture in 1904 are examined, with particular emphasis on their other attempts at collaboration.
Confining potential under the gauge field condensation in the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory

description: $Q\bar{Q}$ potential is studied in the SU(2) gauge theory. Based on the nonlinear gauge of the Curci-Ferrari type, the possibility of a gluon condensation $\langle A_μ^+A_μ^-\rangle$ in low-energy region has been considered at the one-loop level. Instead of the magnetic monopole condensation, this condensation makes classical gluons massive, and can yield a linear potential. We show this potential consists of the Coulomb plus linear part and an additional part. Comparing with the Cornell potential, we study this confining potential in detail, and find that the potential has two implicit scales $r_c$ and $\tilde{R}_0$. The meanings of these scales are clarified. We also show that the Cornell potential that fits well to this confining potential is obtained by taking these scales into account.
Effects of low-lying fermion modes in the epsilon regime

description: We investigate the effects of low-lying fermion modes on the QCD partition function in the epsilon-regime. With the overlap Dirac operator we calculate several tens of low-lying fermion eigenvalues on the quenched lattice. By partially incorporating the fermion determinant through the truncated determinant approximation, we calculate the partition function and other related quantities for Nf = 1 and compare them with the theoretical predictions obtained by Leutwyler and Smilga.

title: Investigating the Distribution and Source(s) of Lunar Volatiles
Creators: name: Mortimer, James Ian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Following the renewed interest in the volatile inventory of the Moon witnessed in the last decade, from both sample studies and data from orbital missions, it is timely to reassess the distribution and likely source(s) of light element volatiles (C, N, He, Ne, and Ar) in a diverse suite of lunar mare basalts and soils, providing new insights about volatiles indigenous to the lunar interior, volatiles produced in situ at the lunar surface, and volatiles delivered to and implanted into the lunar surface. Simultaneous static-mode mass spectrometric measurements of these key volatiles, extracted from the same aliquot of sample by high-resolution stepped combustion, enable a more detailed identification of the different volatile components present by comparing their varying release patterns across a range of temperature steps. Taken in context with other studies of different volatile elements, this new data contributes towards a greater understanding of the Earth-Moon system, with additional implications for future in situ resource utilisation at the lunar surface.

 With an average δ15N value of +0.93 ± 9.39 ‰, the indigenous N component measured in mare basalts is most compatible with a CO carbonaceous chondrite source for nitrogen in the lunar interior, although some caveats exist. Variations in abundance and isotopic composition of indigenous nitrogen imply a heterogeneous lunar mantle. Assuming up to ~50 % loss of solar wind 36Ar from lunar soils, nitrogen trapped in soils can be reconciled with up to 87 % being contributed from a non-solar source with an isotopic composition of between +87 ‰ and +160 ‰.

 Noble gases in soils are dominated by solar wind components, with only minor amounts of cosmogenic neon being released at the highest temperature steps. In mare basalts, noble gases are a mixture of trapped, radiogenic, and cosmogenic components (from which cosmogenic production rates can be calculated and exposure ages for previously undated samples suggested

description: In this paper we consider the problem of computing generalized eigenvectors of a matrix pencil in real Schur form. In exact arithmetic, this problem can be solved using substitution. In practice, substitution is vulnerable to floating-point overflow. The robust solvers xTGEVC in LAPACK prevent overflow by dynamically scaling the eigenvectors. These subroutines are sequential scalar codes which compute the eigenvectors one by one. In this paper we discuss how to derive robust blocked algorithms. The new StarNEig library contains a robust task-parallel solver Zazamoukh which runs on top of StarPU. Our numerical experiments show that Zazamoukh achieves a super-linear speedup compared with DTGEVC for sufficiently large matrices.
