title: Situated language use in post-stroke aphasia: a systematic exploration of functional communication
Creators: name: Doedens, Willemijn
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Aphasia is an acquired language impairment most often caused by stroke. One of the main goals of speech and language therapy is to improve a person’s ability to communicate in everyday life. Research on this level of functioning, often referred to as functional communication, has grown since the 1980s. The lack of a clear conceptualisation of the term functional communication has, however, negatively affected the evidence base for the assessment and treatment of everyday communication in aphasia. This thesis explores the theoretical, practical and empirical operationalisation of functional communication in aphasiology by addressing the following questions: How can we: (1) define real-world communication? (2) measure functional communication in an ecologically valid manner? and (3) investigate communication experimentally? A scoping review was conducted to identify a theoretical framework of real-world communication, followed by a review of existing research on each component of the framework in the aphasia and control literature, to get an overview of the existing evidence base. The framework was used to evaluate the content validity of existing clinical measures of functional communication. Finally, sixteen PWA and sixteen matched NHC participated in an experimental investigation of communication to identify which communication measures uniquely characterised communication for the aphasia group. The construct validity of one measure was established, and the influence of conversation partner familiarity on communication for PWA was explored. Results showed that real-world communication is interactive, multimodal and embedded in context. The Scenario Test (van der Meulen et al., 2010) was selected as the instrument with the highest content validity. The experimental work provided support for the use of a lab�based task to explore communication in aphasia and identified two important characteristics of aphasic communication (the amount of information exchanged and modalities used). PWA were shown to respond differently to an unfamiliar conversation partner compared to controls. Finally, the results suggest some PWA show evidence of learning on the experimental, communicative task. Together, these results provide important insights into functional communication in aphasia. Theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
Complex Singularities and the Lorenz Attractor

description: The Lorenz attractor is one of the best known examples of applied mathematics. However, much of what is known about it is a result of numerical calculations and not of mathematical analysis. As a step toward mathematical analysis, we allow the time variable in the three dimensional Lorenz system to be complex, hoping that solutions that have resisted analysis on the real line will give up their secrets in the complex plane. Knowledge of singularities being fundamental to any investigation in the complex plane, we build upon earlier work and give a complete and consistent formal development of complex singularities of the Lorenz system using {\it psi series}. The psi series contain two undetermined constants. In addition, the location of the singularity is undetermined as a consequence of the autonomous nature of the Lorenz system. We prove that the psi series converge, using a technique that is simpler and more powerful than that of Hille, thus implying a two parameter family of singular solutions of the Lorenz system. We pose three questions, answers to which may bring us closer to understanding the connection of complex singularities to Lorenz dynamics.
Development of a relaxation calorimeter for temperatures between 0.05 and 4 K

description: A detailed description of an isoperibol calorimeter for temperatures between 0.05 and 4 K is presented. The proposed setup can provide absolute values of the heat capacity $C$ of small samples (typically 1 mg). The extremely simple design of the sample platform, based on a sapphire substrate, and the experimental setup, which makes use only of a lock-in amplifier and a temperature controller, make the construction of such a calorimeter easy and inexpensive. The thermal-relaxation method is employed, which utilizes a permanent thermal link $k$ between the sample platform and the low-temperature bath. The temperature dependence of $k(T)$ is shown for several platforms throughout the entire temperature range: $k(T)/T$ is nearly constant down to 1 K, where it starts to decrease smoothly. The observed behavior is thoroughly explained by considering the thermal resistances of the platform constituents. A comparison between the values of $k(T)/T$ for platforms based on sapphire and on silver is presented where no significant difference has been observed. Each platform can be assembled to have a particular value of $k/T$ at 1 K. Since the sample relaxation time $τ\sim C/k$, $k(T)$ can be adjusted to $C(T)$ to give a reasonably fast measuring time: Here, it is demonstrated how this calorimeter can be used in so-called single-shot refrigerators ($^{3}$He or demagnetization cryostats), where the time for a single measurement is limited. In addition, it can be used in moderate magnetic fields $B \leq 10$ T, because the platform constituents are weakly field dependent.

Subjects: IUS/17 Diritto penale

description: Lo studio è stato condotto seguendo una duplice prospettiva, che trae spunto da alcune assimilazioni operate dalla giurisprudenza italiana. Da un lato, si è cercato di capire come debbano essere interpretate norme create per la valutazione di realtà storicamente ben identificate, quali l’art. 416 bis c.p., nel momento in cui si applicano a realtà nuove, come le mafie straniere. Dall’altro lato, si è cercato di indagare i fondamenti dell’equiparazione dell’impresa che delinque al paradigma dell’associazione per delinquere, punita dall’art. 416 c.p., allorchè imprese formalmente lecite si trovano a operare per fini esclusivamente illeciti, facendo della organizzazione imprenditoriale una vera e propria organizzazione criminale. Gli obiettivi posti dalla ricerca si possono sintetizzare, dunque, nella verifica dell’adattabilità di tradizionali fattispecie criminose al nuovo contesto criminologico e nell’individuazione del confine tra l’azione occasionalmente illecita di una impresa lecita e la connotazione di una impresa come illecita tout court.
description: The study has two different perspectives, connected to different interpretation of various type of offences of the Italian penal code. From one side, the research deals with the application of article 416 bis c. p., which punishes the “mafia association”, to the foreign organized groups that work in the Italian country. From another side, the research deals with the application of article 416 c. p., which punishes the criminal organization, to the enterprises which committee economic crimes. Finally, the main objective is to verify the compatibility of traditional criminal offences to new expressions of crime.

description: Confidence in information and communication technology services and systems is crucial for the Digital Society which we live in, but this confidence is not possible without privacy-enhancing tools and technologies, nor without risks management frameworks that guarantee privacy, data protection, and secure digital identities. This paper provides information on on-going and recent developments in this area in the European Union (EU) space. We start by providing an overview of EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and proceed by identifying challenges concerning GDPR implementation, either technical or organizational. For this, we consider the work currently being done by a set of EU projects on the H2020 DS-08-2017 topic, namely BPR4GDPR, DEFeND, SMOOTH, PDP4E, PAPAYA, and PoSeID-on, which address and aim at providing specific, operational solutions for the identified challenges. We briefly present these solutions and discuss the ways in which the projects cooperate and complement each other. Finally, we identify guidelines for further research.
title: Generation and characterisation of functional astrocytes from embryonic stem cells
Creators: name: Juneja, Deppo Singh
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Astrocytes are considered a default developmental state in mammalian nervous system differentiation. Even though astrocytes are involved in the maturation of the nervous system, information regarding their own development is sparse. Evidence has shown that astrocyte development (astrocytogenesis) commences after neurogenesis, leading to a heterogeneous population of astrocytes within the CNS. However, generating astrocytes in vitro has proven to be more challenging than previously thought, where complex use of morphogens, long time culture incubation (>180 days), and reduced focus on subtype astrocyte generation prevents full understanding of astrocytes. By modifying previous methodologies, here we describe a quick and efficient method to generate functional and heterogeneous astrocytes from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) which contributes towards ever growing need towards standardising protocols for in vitro astrocytogenesis. Under the cell suspension protocol, mESCs formed embryoid bodies (EBs), which were then inducted into a neural lineage using retinoic acid (RA) (DIV 3). At DIV 6 EBs were seeded onto laminin coated glass coverslips, in astrocyte differentiation media, containing heparin and N2. Cells morphologically resembling astrocytes were observed migrating from attached EBs, two days post seeding. Migrating cells stained positive for astrocyte markers GFAP, ALDH1L1 and S100β. When astrocytes were stimulated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), intracellular calcium concentration was elevated, as revealed by Fluo4. Analysis of P2X and P2Y purinoreceptor pathways, revealed significant contributions of each pathways and a functional diversity of the generated astrocytes. Furthermore, these generated astrocytes displayed potential to be used as a tool for future studies via successful removal from substrate, and rescuing damaged neuron rich network. In summary, we describe here the generation of functional astrocytes derived from mESCs, which display heterogeneity in form and function that is commonly observed in astrocytes in vivo.

description: We present an expression for the shot noise power spectral density in quasi-one dimensional conductors electrostatically controlled by a gate electrode, that includes the effects of Coulomb interaction and of Pauli exclusion among charge carriers. In this sense, our expression extends the well known Landauer-Buttiker noise formula to include the effect of Coulomb interaction through induced fluctuations in the device potential. Our approach is based on the introduction of statistical properties of the scattering matrix and on a second-quantization many-body description. From a quantitative point of view, statistical properties are obtained by means of Monte Carlo simulations on a ensemble of different configurations of injected states, requiring the solution of the Poisson-Schrodinger equation on a three-dimensional grid, with the non-equilibrium Green functions formalism. In a series of example, we show that failure to consider the effects of Coulomb interaction on noise leads to a gross overestimation of the noise spectrum of quasi-one dimensional devices.

description: The purpose of this paper is to elucidate, by means of concepts and theorems drawn from mathematical logic, the conditions under which the existence of a multiverse is a logical necessity in mathematical physics, and the implications of Godel's incompleteness theorem for theories of everything. Three conclusions are obtained in the final section: (i) the theory of the structure of our universe might be an undecidable theory, and this constitutes a potential epistemological limit for mathematical physics, but because such a theory must be complete, there is no ontological barrier to the existence of a final theory of everything; (ii) in terms of mathematical logic, there are two different types of multiverse: classes of non-isomorphic but elementarily equivalent models, and classes of model which are both non-isomorphic and elementarily inequivalent; (iii) for a hypothetical theory of everything to have only one possible model, and to thereby negate the possible existence of a multiverse, that theory must be such that it admits only a finite model.
title: The generation of mechanical work by overturning tropical circulations
Creators: name: Kamieniecki, Jan Anthony
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Global climate models inadequately represent aspects of tropical convection; many studies that underpin the parametrisation of convection incorporate the interactive effects of largescale circulations using the Weak Temperature Gradient or Weak Pressure Gradient approximations. This thesis examines the thermodynamic consequences of these approximated circulations, in particular for the generation of mechanical work that they imply. It develops approximate analytical formulae for conversions from potential to kinetic energy by circulations generated by the Weak Temperature Gradient approximation and explores the energetic processes involved. Furthermore, a recently proposed isentropic analytical framework for the mechanical energy budget is extended and applied to results from two coupled cloud resolving models. This confirms that the use of the Weak Temperature Gradient approximation does not introduce any thermodynamic anomalies, and the results produced by the cloud resolving models provide confirmation of the analytical results derived earlier. Scaling arguments for the components of the mechanical energy budget are presented. The same technique is also applied to re-analysis data to show how the mechanical energy generated by circulations such as the Walker and Hadley circulations can be calculated from this data.

A threshold hypothesis of institutional change: collective action in the Italian Alps during
the 13th - 19th centuries.

Year: 2013
Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: This dissertation is about collective action issues in common property resources. Its focus is the “threshold hypothesis,” which posits the existence of a threshold in group size that drives the process of institutional change. This hypothesis is tested using a six-century dataset concerning the management of the commons by hundreds of communities in the Italian Alps. The analysis seeks to determine the group size threshold and the institutional changes that occur when groups cross this threshold. There are five main findings. First, the number of individuals in villages remained stable for six centuries, despite the population in the region tripling in the same period. Second, the longitudinal analysis of face-to-face assemblies and community size led to the empirical identification of a threshold size that triggered the transition from informal to more formal regimes to manage common property resources. Third, when groups increased in size, gradual organizational changes took place: large groups split into independent subgroups or structured interactions into multiple layers while maintaining a single formal organization. Fourth, resource heterogeneity seemed to have had no significant impact on various institutional characteristics. Fifth, social heterogeneity showed statistically significant impacts, especially on institutional complexity, consensus, and the relative importance of governance rules versus resource management rules. Overall, the empirical evidence from this research supports the “threshold hypothesis.” These findings shed light on the rationale of institutional change in common property regimes, and clarify the mechanisms of collective action in traditional societies. Further research may generalize these conclusions to other domains of collective action and to present-day applications.

title: Beyond language: executive control and learning in anterior lesion aphasia
Creators: name: Kendrick, Luke Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Aphasia is an acquired neurological impairment characterised by disruption to language functions. Beyond language, there is increasing agreement that the broader cognitive profile of aphasia can influence the manifestation of linguistic impairment, and additional cognitive deficits act as barriers to therapy. This thesis explored two important cognitive abilities for language and aphasia therapy-executive control and learning. The studies addressed the following questions: ( l) what is the profile of both executive control and learning abilities in anterior lesion aphasia, (2) what impact do language stimuli have on task performance for these abilities, and (3) how are language, executive control, and learning abilities associated with one another. Participants with anterior lesion aphasia and controls completed a series of behavioural executive control (Chapter Two) and learning (Chapter Three) tasks. A comparison of verbal and reduced verbal task versions was also carried out to investigate the impact of language on performance. Finally, the relationships between executive control, learning, and language performance were explored (Chapter Four). Findings revealed that the participants with aphasia (PW A) demonstrate a generalised cognitive slowing for executive control tasks, accompanied by specific impairments to switching and updating of working memory abilities. Executive control abilities did not vary across verbal and reduced verbal domains, supporting a domain-general account of these abilities. PWA were able to learn familiar and unfamiliar stimuli, but more slowly and ultimately below the level of control participants. When there was within task variation in the difficulty of verbal stimuli to be learned, PWA showed markedly poorer learning. Finally, there were significant associations between language, executive control, and learning abilities-suggesting the cognitive-linguistic profile in anterior lesion aphasia is interactive and complex. Taken together, findings reveal important insights into the broader cognitive-linguistic profile of anterior lesion aphasia and the theoretical and therapeutic implications for these are considered.

description: Environmental scientists are a diverse community that ranges from climatologists to geneticists, but we are united by an enormous need to work efficiently with data – and by the fact that we seldom have formal computing or data analysis training of any kind. There is great opportunity to borrow from the work of software engineers and use collaborative open tools that facilitate better science in less time. However, a fundamental shift is needed in the environmental science community that prioritizes data science and provides emerging scientific leaders training in open science tools and practices to strengthen and accelerate their work. I will discuss my work to catalyze this shift at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Building from our open data science work with the Ocean Health Index, I will discuss a program have recently launched in January 2019 as a Mozilla Fellow: Openscapes, a mentorship program that empowers environmental scientists with open data science tools and grows the community of practice.

We also present predictions covering the complete LHC energy range which can be readily tested in the early low luminosity LHC runs. The results presented in this communication provide additional support to our Pomeron model approach.

description: The global financial crisis towards the end of the last decade saw an increasing need in the role of risk measurement and management in the mainstream financial investment market. Among other things, the measurement and management of market risk, credit risk, and operational risk have become pronounced than ever before. Different strategies have been employed in dealing with the unpredictable nature of the market. This research focuses on the risk-driven investment in public real estate. The aims of this research are threefold 1. To examine whether the real estate allocation based on risk parity leads to better performance compared to other allocation methods 2. To assess the performance of market risk models, namely value at risk (VaR) and expected shortfall on the real estate market. 3. To investigate the volatility transmission of the UK implied volatility index and UK REITs with traded options The results for the risk allocation generally show that risk parity does in some instances perform better than other allocation methods. Concerning market risk modelling, VaR offers much simple modelling in comparison to expected shortfall. The challenge in the expected shortfall is in its time-consuming nature but it does address the shortcoming of VaR. With regards to the volatility transmission, the results are significant there showing that there is a volatility spillover (transmission) between the changes in implied volatility of the FTSE 100 volatility index, the REIT companies with traded options and the UK REIT index prices.

title: The impact of aerosols on cloud microphysics and dynamics in deep convective clouds over the UK
Creators: name: Kim, Juwon
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Flash flooding arise from deep convective storms developing along continuous conver­gence lines. The understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions is fundamental to improve the forecasting of deep convective storms. However, aerosols and clouds are still the largest uncertainty source. Most of modelling studies have focused on the role of ice particles on deep convective clouds, however, a number of heavy rain events occur in warm rain clouds. Recent COnvective Precipitation Experiment observation have shown radar reflectivity exceeding 50 dBZ in convective clouds wherein large drops are induced by freezing of drizzle or raindrops. Atmospheric aerosols serve as cloud condensation nuclei, wherein water vapour con­denses onto the cloud condensation nuclei when the supersaturation of ambient air is reached at critical value to activate droplets. Stronger vertical velocity induces higher supersaturation when a volume of moist air is ascending adiabatically resulting in more activated cloud condensation nuclei which grow to cloud droplets. An increase in cloud drop number concentration could have knock-on effects on ice processes and can feedback on the cloud dynamics. Vertical velocity in numerical models is not suitable for the peak supersaturation of aerosol activation because it represents a mean value of a grid box in the model and the velocity tends to be less resolved in kilometre-scale modelling. The investigation of the unresolved motion using a coarse-graining method, applying the improved vertical velocity to model simulation, and the sensitivity of cloud microphysics and dynamics to cloud drop number concentration were conducted in this study. The standard deviation of vertical velocity tended to be less v'6 in 200 m simulation than in 50 m reference simulation. The improved vertical velocity presented over cloud boundary regions and resulted in an increase in cloud drop number concentration. The aerosol activation scheme as a function of vertical velocity produced higher cloud droplets at cloud base, the higher droplets induced higher ice particles, and then deeper clouds and stronger precipitation presented.

description: We evaluate the information capacities of a lossy bosonic channel with correlated noise. The model generalizes the one recently discussed in [Phys. Rev. A 77, 052324 (2008)], where memory effects come from the interaction with correlated environments. Environmental correlations are quantified by a multimode squeezing parameter, which vanishes in the memoryless limit. We show that a global encoding/decoding scheme, which involves input entangled states among different channel uses, is always preferable with respect to a local one in the presence of memory. Moreover, in a certain range of the parameters, we provide an analytical expression for the classical capacity of the channel showing that a global encoding/decoding scheme allows to attain it. All the results can be applied to a broad class of bosonic Gaussian channels.

description: We study how to measure the current structure of the process that $B$ meson decays into two unstable fermions $\bar f_a$ and $f_b$ in model independent way. We use the momentum distributions of subsequent decay products affected by $\bar f_a f_b$ spin correlation. We have found the following: (1) We can extract the absolute values of two effective coupling constants from the opening angle between the particles decayed from $\bar f_a$ and $f_b$ (2) We can extract the real part of the interference from the energy distribution of one of the decayed particles from $\bar f_a$ or $f_b$. (3) No new information can be obtained from the energy distribution of two decayed particles from $\bar f_a$ and $f_b$. (4) The imaginary part of interference is extracted from the azimuthal angle asymmetry of final-state decay products. (5) If only one of two fermions is unstable, we can extract the real part of interference from each of the energy distribution and opening angle distribution. We show several simple examples.

description: We report a comprehensive investigation of the suppression of the critical temperature Tc of NdFeAs(OF) single crystal by alpha-particle irradiation. Our data indicate that irradiation defects produce both nonmagnetic and magnetic scattering, resulting in the Kondo-like excess resistance $Δρ(T)\propto ln T$ over 2 decades in temperatures above $T_c$. Despite high densities of irradiation defects, the dose at which $T_c$ is suppressed to zero is comparable to that for MgB2 but is well above the corresponding values for cuprates.

description: We study the phase diagram of the standard pair approximation equations for two different models in population dynamics, the susceptible-infective-recovered-susceptible model of infection spread and a predator-prey interaction model, on a network of homogeneous degree $k$. These models have similar phase diagrams and represent two classes of systems for which noisy oscillations, still largely unexplained, are observed in nature. We show that for a certain range of the parameter $k$ both models exhibit an oscillatory phase in a region of parameter space that corresponds to weak driving. This oscillatory phase, however, disappears when $k$ is large. For $k=3, 4$, we compare the phase diagram of the standard pair approximation equations of both models with the results of simulations on regular random graphs of the same degree. We show that for parameter values in the oscillatory phase, and even for large system sizes, the simulations either die out or exhibit damped oscillations, depending on the initial conditions. We discuss this failure of the standard pair approximation model to capture even the qualitative behavior of the simulations on large regular random graphs and the relevance of the oscillatory phase in the pair approximation diagrams to explain the cycling behavior found in real populations.

title: Post-anthesis heat stress in wheat: is the reduction in grain size a consequence of premature maturation of the outer layers of the grain?
Creators: name: Kino, Richard Ian
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: High post-anthesis (p.a.) temperatures reduce mature grain weight and consequently yield in wheat. However, the mechanisms behind this reduction are still not entirely known. It has recently been suggested that a premature maturation of the pericarp under high p.a. temperatures could result in a loss of cell wall plasticity in the layer which may restrict endosperm expansion and reduce grain weight. In order to test this hypothesis, 4 controlled environment experiments were performed using the wheat cultivar Cadenza. The effect of high p.a. temperatures on various aspects of wheat grain development were investigated using methods including grain dimension and weight analysis, immunofluorescence microscopy of endosperm cells in addition to the distribution and form of cell wall homogalacturonan (HG) and RNA-Seq analysis of the transcriptome of high p.a. temperature treated grain. Mature grain weight, length and width were reduced by a high p.a. temperature treatment (35/15°C) applied for 4-days or more from 6-days after anthesis (daa). In addition, endosperm cell number and size were significantly reduced by a similar high p.a. temperature treatment duration applied from 6daa. Normal cell wall HG methyl-esterification status and distribution in the grain during development appeared to be accelerated by high p.a. temperatures suggesting a potential loss of cell wall plasticity in the pericarp and endosperm. RNA-Seq of high p.a. temperature treated grains revealed down-regulation of genes involved in cell wall expansion, including endoglucanase and β-expansin genes in the outer-pericarp at 10 and 14daa, coinciding with the early stabilisation of maximum grain moisture content, height and length in high p.a. temperature treated samples; traits closely associated with the pericarp during development. These results lend support to the overall hypothesis and help elucidate the interaction between grain layers under high p.a. temperatures, which may help molecular biologists and plant breeders develop more climate resilient cultivars.

description: This paper reports the result of our evaluation of the tenth-order QED correction to the lepton g-2 from Feynman diagrams which have sixth-order light-by-light-scattering subdiagrams, none of whose vertices couple to the external magnetic field. The gauge-invariant set of these diagrams, called Set II(e), consists of 180 vertex diagrams. In the case of the electron g-2 (a_e), where the light-by-light subdiagram consists of the electron loop, the contribution to a_e is found to be - 1.344 9 (10) (α/π)^5. The contribution of the muon loop to a_e is - 0.000 465 (4) (α/π)^5. The contribution of the tau-lepton loop is about two orders of magnitudes smaller than that of the muon loop and hence negligible. The sum of all of these contributions to a_e is - 1.345 (1) (α/π)^5. We have also evaluated the contribution of Set II(e) to the muon g-2 (a_μ). The contribution to a_μfrom the electron loop is 3.265 (12) (α/π)^5, while the contribution of the tau-lepton loop is -0.038 06 (13) (α/π)^5. The total contribution to a_μ, which is the sum of these two contributions and the mass-independent part of a_e, is 1.882 (13) (α/π)^5.

description: The recent classification scheme of so-called adinkraic off-shell supermultiplets of N-extended worldline supersymmetry without central charges finds a combinatorial explosion. Completing our earlier efforts, we now complete the constructive proof that all of these trillions or more of supermultiplets have a superfield representation. While different as superfields and supermultiplets, these are still super-differentially related to a much more modest number of minimal supermultiplets, which we construct herein.
