description: We study 7D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on 3-Sasakian manifolds. For manifolds whose hyper-Kähler cones are hypertoric we derive the perturbative part of the partition function. The answer involves a special function that counts integer lattice points in a rational convex polyhedral cone determined by hypertoric data. This also gives a more geometric structure to previous enumeration results of holomorphic functions in the literature. Based on physics intuition, we provide a factorisation result for such functions. The full proof of this factorisation using index calculations will be detailed in a forthcoming paper.

description: The analysis of fluctuations generated by a thermal reservoir has produced many results throughout the history of science, ranging from the verification of the atomic hypothesis, running through critical phenomena to the most recent advances in the description of non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes. Motivated by recent theoretical and experimental works, we analyze the non-equilibrium and equilibrium fluctuations caused by a finite and chaotic heat bath in a simple system of interest. Finite bath and system of interest give rise to a non-ergodic composite system when interacting with each other. We have characterized the equilibrium distribution induced by the finite bath and numerically verified the finite-bath fluctuation theorem. We have also verified the convergence of our results to Crooks' fluctuation theorem as the number of degrees of freedom of the finite bath increases while the non-ergodic character remains.

title: Neuroprevention: Developing Legal Policies in Risk Assessment Without Aspiring to Predict Crime

description: What should be the ultimate purpose of punishment in criminal law? Is it possible to apply measures that do not only pursue a simple retributive punishment but, at the same time, can help to: (a) reduce the risk of recidivism by serving as complementary measures to the penalty and (b) reduce incarceration rates without endangering public safety? Our proposal is to conceptualize the risk assessment of recidivism, and of criminal acts in general, from what we call “neuroprevention.”
We argue that the commonly used term of neuroprediction implies a deeply deterministic, even fatalistic interpretation, of individual behavior, that may lead to a stigmatization of the prisoner or probationer. Furthermore, this can lead to a paradoxical, even dangerous interpretation of the legal policies related to recidivism and criminal acts. Neuroprediction becomes paradoxical when it implies that the system gives itself the power to change the course of future events that, at the same time, it considers to be largely inevitable. This is also a dangerous idea because it could be exploited in certain circumstances to legitimize dictatorial practices.
However, we are convinced that neuroscientific tools and evidence can contribute to reducing crime rates and to a more efficient use of resources destined for risk assessment and criminal prosecutions. This can be accomplished by renouncing the aspiration to predict crime and replacing it with the intention to prevent it, which we consider more realistic and fair. There is no implicit acceptance of the inevitable here. Rather, the emphasis is placed on anticipating the possible or probable, but never conclusively determining it. The double objective pursued by the neuroprevention paradigm is that measures and strategies can be adopted for not only improving public safety, but also for offering the prisoner or probationer a real, scientifically-based opportunity to reintegrate into society by providing adequate intervention and training.
We are convinced that our approach would make it easier for policy-makers and citizens to realize that the advances in neuroscience suggest exciting paths toward a more beneficial, flexible, and humane justice system, one with a more complete and in-depth view of criminal behavior.
title: Genome-wide identification of functional polymorphisms modulating individual risk and prognosis of lung cancer
Creators: name: Frullanti, Elisa
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in Western countries. Although most cases are due to tobacco smoking, complex genetics may modulate this disease, as suggested by epidemiological studies and findings obtained in mouse models. Systematic population-based association studies testing several thousands of genetic markers dispersed genome-wide have recently become a powerful and widely-used approach to identify genetic factors affecting common diseases. In this thesis, the role of genetic polymorphisms and risk of cancer were investigated through a case-control association study in Italian lung adenocarcinoma (ADCA) patients and unrelated controls from general population and through a case-control association family-based study in lung cancer patients and unaffected sibs as controls. I confirmed the relevance of a polygenic model characterized by additive and interchangeable effects of rare alleles in the modulation of individual risk of lung ADCA identifying multiple inherited susceptibility alleles linked to lung cancer. Additionally, I studied the role of genetic polymorphisms modulating individual lung cancer prognosis through a case-only association study in lung ADCA patients with clinical stage I versus higher clinical stage. In particular, I identify two genes (FCN3 and TMEM100) down-regulated up to 1.8-fold in normal lung of stage >I as compared to stage I patients. These results suggest that clinical stage may be genetically determined as reflected in germ-line variations as well as in the transcriptional profile of normal lung tissue. Although clinical application of these results awaits replication in independent and large populations, I found that genetic variants may be involved in the modulation of not only individual risk of lung cancer but also clinical staging. The newly identified individual genetic profiles associated with risk and/or prognosis of lung cancer may thus represent new diagnostic tools and suggest molecular targets for the development of new therapies against lung cancer.

description: We discuss a charge qubit consisting of a circular array of Josephson junctions. The two-level system we consider couples the two charge states through a higher order tunneling process thus making it possible to achieve a long relaxation time. Using the spin-boson Hamiltonian, we estimate decoherence due to ohmic as well as 1/f noise. We simulate the quantum mechanical measurement process by studing the density matrix of the qubit and a capacitively coupled single-electron transistor that measures the charge.

description: We aim to understand the value of additional labeled or unlabeled target data in transfer learning, for any given amount of source data; this is motivated by practical questions around minimizing sampling costs, whereby, target data is usually harder or costlier to acquire than source data, but can yield better accuracy. To this aim, we establish the first minimax-rates in terms of both source and target sample sizes, and show that performance limits are captured by new notions of discrepancy between source and target, which we refer to as transfer exponents.
Two-dimensional Hubbard-Holstein bipolaron

description: We present a diagrammatic Monte Carlo study of the properties of the Hubbard-Holstein bipolaron on a two-dimensional square lattice. With a small Coulomb repulsion, U, and with increasing electron-phonon interaction, and when reaching a value about two times smaller than the one corresponding to the transition of light polaron to heavy polaron, the system suffers a sharp transition from a state formed by two weakly bound light polarons to a heavy, strongly bound on-site bipolaron. Aside from this rather conventional bipolaron a new bipolaron state is found for large U at intermediate and large electron-phonon coupling, corresponding to two polarons bound on nearest-neighbor sites. We discuss both the properties of the different bipolaron states and the transition from one state to another. We present a phase diagram in parameter space defined by the electron-phonon coupling and U. Our numerical method does not use any artificial approximation and can be easily modified to other bipolaron models with longer range electron-phonon and/or electron-electron interaction.

description: Introduction: Olfactory impairment has been considered for differential diagnosis in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. The authors aimed to identify the tests used to assess the olfactory function in PD patients and examine these tests’ ability to distinguish them from other neurological disorders. Areas covered: Cross-sectional studies published until May 2020 comparing the olfactory function of PD patients to other neurological disorders were searched on PubMed, PsycInfo, Cinahl, and Web of Science databases using search terms related to PD, olfactory function, and assessment. Five thousand three hundred and four studies were screened, and 35 were included in the systematic review. Six smell tests that evaluated a total of 1,544 PD patients were identified. Data of 1,144 patients included in the meta-analyses revealed worse smell performance than individuals with other neurological disorders, such as progressive supranuclear palsy and essential tremor, but not with idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. Expert opinion: The University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test was the most used test to assess the olfactory function of PD. Smell loss was worse in PD than in some neurological disorders. The smell tests’ ability in differentiating PD from other neurological disorders still deserves more attention in future studies. Protocol register (PROSPERO/2018-CRD42018107009).

description: Статья представляет собой систематизацию основных принципов структурного анализа лирического текста. Литературной базой исследования является стихотворение А.А. Ахматовой «Ты письмо мое, милый, не комкай…». В работе отражены особенности поэтического стиля Анны Ахматовой, уточнен ряд индивидуальных черт ее мировосприятия. Актуальность работы определяется тем, что целостно с позиций структурализма данный текст в научной практике не получил достаточной объективной оценки. Следовательно, рецепция стихотворения в рамках обозначенных методологических координат определяет новизну исследования. Сделан вывод, что эстетический эффект текста достигается интеграцией фонетического, лексического и смыслового уровней. Анализ структуры выводит читателя/реципиента к новым толкованиям, осмыслению многомерности эстетического произведения.The article presents systematization of the basic principles of structural analysis. The literary basis for the research is a poem “Please, my letter, oh dear, don't crumple” by A.A. Akhmatova. The article reflects peculiarities of poetic style, refines a number of specific features in the author’s perception of the world. The viewpoint of structuralism determines the topicality of this work that lies entirely in the idea that this text wasn’t given any sufficiently objective evaluation. Consequently, the reception of the lyric within the designated methodological coordinates will be new now. It is concluded that the aesthetic effect of the text is achieved by the integration of phonetic, lexical and semantic levels. The structure of the text leads the reader to new interpretations and comprehension of the multidimensionality of aesthetic works.

description: This research contributes to the extant literature on television influence by pairing a stimulus-side approach documenting how information is presented within a TV series with a response-side assessment of whether connectedness and exposure to a series influence the processing of that information differently depending on its format. The inquiry focuses on the nature and impact of messages about alcohol contained within a youth oriented TV program. The findings indicate that the recall and perception of the more overt negative messages increase with exposure and that receptiveness to the subtle and less remembered positive messages increases with levels of program connectedness. Highly connected viewers are both more receptive to and in greater agreement with the underlying positive alcohol message communicated in the series.

description: We prove that if the classical Baum-Connes conjecture in complex K-theory is true (for a given discrete group G), then the conjecture is also true in the real case (for the same group G). The essential ingredients of the proof are the descent theorem in topological K-theory (math.KT/0509396) and a Paschke duality for C*-algebras proved by John Roe (Q.J. Math. 55 (2004) 325-331). According to S. Stolz, this result is linked with the existence of a Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature on a compact connected spin manifold with G as fundamental group.

description: Data driven materials discovery and optimization requires databases that are error free and experimentally verified. Performing material measurements are time-consuming and often restricted by the fact that material sample preparations are non-trivial, labour-intensive and expensive. Numerical modelling of materials has been studied over the years in order to address these issues and nowadays it has been developed at multi-scale and multi-physics levels. However, numerical models for nano-composites, especially for ferroelectrics are limited due to multiple unknowns including oxygen vacancy densities, grain sizes and domain boundaries existing in the system. In this work, we introduce a human-machine interactive learning framework by developing a scalable semi-empirical model to accurately predict material properties enabled by deep learning (DL). MgO-doped BST (BaxSr1-xTiO3) is selected as an example ferroelectric-dielectric composite for validation. The DL model transfer-learns the experimental features of materials from a measurement database which includes data for over 100 different ferroelectric composites collected by screening the published data and combining our own measurement data. The trained DL model is utilized in providing feedback to human researchers, who then refine computer model parameters accordingly, hence completing the interactive learning cycle. Finally, the developed DL model is applied to predict and optimise new ferroelectric-dielectric composites with the highest figure of merit (FOM) value.

description: Polluted white dwarfs are generally accreting terrestrial-like material that may originate from a debris belt like the asteroid belt in the solar system. The fraction of white dwarfs that are polluted drops off significantly for white dwarfs with masses $M_{\rm WD}\gtrsim 0.8\,\rm M_\odot$. This implies that asteroid belts and planetary systems around main-sequence stars with mass $M_{\rm MS}\gtrsim 3\,\rm M_\odot$ may not form because of the intense radiation from the star. This is in agreement with current debris disc and exoplanet observations. The fraction of white dwarfs that show pollution also drops off significantly for low mass white dwarfs $(M_{\rm WD}\lesssim 0.55\,\rm M_\odot)$. However, the low-mass white dwarfs that do show pollution are not currently accreting but have accreted in the past. We suggest that asteroid belts around main sequence stars with masses $M_{\rm MS}\lesssim 2\,\rm M_\odot$ are not likely to survive the stellar evolution process. The destruction likely occurs during the AGB phase and could be the result of interactions of the asteroids with the stellar wind, the high radiation or, for the lowest mass stars that have an unusually close-in asteroid belt, scattering during the tidal orbital decay of the inner planetary system.

title: From 'mission field' to 'mission force': The emergence of mission organisations in former mission receiving countries
Creators: name: Ekström, Lars Bertil
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is about Evangelical mission movements that have emerged in the Global South, particularly in Brazil, Ghana and India from the 1970s onwards. An important development among Evangelical churches since the Second World War has been the growth of Evangelicalism in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Former 'mission fields' have turned into 'mission forces' and changed the scenario of global missionary enterprise. The ability of the Christian faith to be translated into any cultural context, the so-called 'translatability principle' of Christianity proposed by Andrew Walls, has been the starting point for analysing and evaluating the level of mission awareness and the models of mission involvement evident in Evangelical churches in the studied countries. However, the translatability principle is not sufficient to explain the emergence of mission initiatives and the models of mission engagement used by newer sending countries in the Global South. There are other issues that influence the way mission movements emerge and the research has identified specific key factors contributing to the formation of mission structures through analysis of the reasons why they have started and how they have developed over the last forty years. These have been divided into internal, external and international factors in relation to the history, tradition and growth of Evangelical churches in each country. The analysis demonstrates that the combination of these factors creates a propitious ambience for mission initiatives. Comparison has also been made with historical processes in older sending countries and similar developments in other newer sending countries. The information for this study derives primarily from interviews with mission leaders in Brazil, Ghana and India and from printed materials provided by mission organisations in these countries. The thesis contains an important contribution to the Area of Mission Studies and particularly to the study of newer mission movements, providing a methodology for the analysis and evaluation of the viability and sustainability of mission organisations in the Global South.

The perturbative series, which is afflicted by infrared divergences, is resummed by means of variational perturbation theory. Using coefficients through seven loops, we arrive at Delta T_c/T_c = 1.27 +/- 0.11 a n^(1/3), which compares favorably with recent Monte-Carlo data.

description: evaluate the impact of the ALM framework on Jordanian commercial banks during
2017/2018 using survey questionnaire that explored the current framework of the ALM. The results indicated the existence
of the ALM process in all of Jordan’s commercial banks whereas Asset Liability Committee ALCO only had limited
authority in terms of identifying and setting risk exposures. The breadth of commercial banks’ activities in Jordan as
regards financing most of the economic sectors in the country through their role as financial intermediaries marks the
importance of shielding them from liquidity risks. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge through
providing a fair assessment of the current ALM framework in Jordan as which very few studies have yet been concerned
with the ALM framework in the MENA region in general and specifically in Jorda

description: We consider a system of two Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equations, in the presence of an optical-lattice (OL) potential, coupled by both nonlinear and linear terms. This system describes a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) composed of two different spin states of the same atomic species, which interact linearly through a resonant electromagnetic field. In the absence of the OL, we find plane-wave solutions and examine their stability. In the presence of the OL, we derive a system of amplitude equations for spatially modulated states which are coupled to the periodic potential through the lowest-order subharmonic resonance. We determine this averaged system's equilibria, which represent spatially periodic solutions, and subsequently examine the stability of the corresponding solutions with direct simulations of the coupled GP equations. We find that symmetric (equal-amplitude) and asymmetric (unequal-amplitude) dual-mode resonant states are, respectively, stable and unstable. The unstable states generate periodic oscillations between the two condensate components, which is possible only because of the linear coupling between them. We also find four-mode states, but they are always unstable. Finally, we briefly consider ternary (three-component) condensates.

description: Целью исследования является анализ употребления понятия "audacia" и его производных в сочинениях Цицерона на основе статистического метода. Для Цицерона "audacia" серьезнейший порок, обозначающий "дерзость", "наглость" (за исключением нескольких случаев употребления понятия в положительном смысле в значении "смелость", "отвага"). Указанное понятие сочетается со словами, обозначающими пороки и добродетели, что свидетельствует о его этико-философском содержании. "Audacia" также употребляется Цицероном в политико-правовом дискурсе, особенно в судебных речах для доказательства виновности или невиновности подсудимого, поэтому занимает важное место в политико-правовом понятийном аппарате его трудов.The aim of this research is to analyse the use of the concept “audacia” and its derivatives in Cicero’s works on the basis of statistical method. For Cicero “audacia” is the most serious vice which means “audacity”, “impudence” (except of the term usage in a positive sense, in a meaning “courage”). The concept is combined with the words denoting virtues and vices, therefore it has an ethical and philosophical connotation. The concept is also used by Cicero in a political and juridical discourse, especially in the court speeches for inculpatory and exculpatory evidence; that is why it takes an important place in the political and juridical conceptual apparatus of his works.

title: Intentionally Effects on the Outcomes of Nascent Venturing Processes
Creators: name: Delanoë, Servane Marie
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: This research focuses on the nascent entrepreneurship phase, also known as the gestation or preparation phase of start-up projects. With the general objective of providing a better understanding of what happens during this phase at both the project and the nascent entrepreneur levels, it draws on a number of different entrepreneurial research approaches to generate its findings. The primary source of inspiration is intention-based research, but human and social capital measures are brought into the analysis to provide a more resource-oriented perspective. In addition, gestation behaviours are included in the study in order to reflect the process nature of nascent entrepreneurship. The longitudinal design adopted here of surveying nascent entrepreneurs at two points in time (pre- and post-potential start), separated by one year, led to findings that are new for nascent entrepreneurship research. First, at the project level the results presented provide strong support for the intention model in an entrepreneurial context, including the intention-behaviour link, which has hitherto been under-researched. The number of gestation activities undertaken appears to have a strong positive impact on entrepreneurial self-efficacy, intention and the subsequent actual start-up. In addition, a positive relationship between the use of professional support and the likelihood of the venture being started is apparent here. Second, at the individual level the results suggest that being involved in a nascent venture does change people by bringing them to reassess their perceptions towards entrepreneurship. Overall, individuals seem to experience something of a reality check. Those who entered the process with highly positive perceptions revise them downwards (for example, displaying lower - or more realistic - attitude towards self-employment) and those who had less favourable initial perceptions adjust them to more positive levels.

description: We present studies of resonance-enhanced photo-ionization for isotope-selective loading of Ca+ into a Paul trap. The 4s^2 ^1S_0 4s4p ^1P_1 transition of neutral calcium is driven by a 423nm laser and the atoms are photo-ionized by a second laser at 389nm. Isotope-selectivity is achieved by using crossed atomic and laser beams to reduce the Doppler width significantly below the isotope shifts in the 423nm transition. The loading rate of ions into the trap is studied under a range of experimental parameters for the abundant isotope 40Ca+. Using the fluorescence of the atomic beam at 423nm as a measure of the Ca number density, we estimate a lower limit for the absolute photo-ionization cross-section. We achieve loading and laser-cooling of all the naturally occurring isotopes, without the need for enriched sources. Laser-heating/cooling is observed to enhance the isotope-selectivity. In the case of the rare species 43Ca+ and 46Ca+, which have not previously been laser-cooled, the loading is not fully isotope-selective but we show that pure crystals of 43Ca+ may nevertheless be obtained. We find that for loading 40Ca+ the 389nm laser may be replaced by an incoherent source.

description: We present a novel method for simulation of the interior of large cosmic voids, suitable for study of the formation and evolution of objects lying within such regions. Following Birkhoff's theorem, void regions dynamically evolve as universes with cosmological parameters that depend on the underdensity of the void. We derive the values of $Ω_M$, $Ω_Λ$, and $H_0$ that describe this evolution. We examine how the growth rate of structure and scale factor in a void differ from the background universe. Together with a prescription for the power spectrum of fluctuations, these equations provide the initial conditions for running specialized void simulations. The increased efficiency of such simulations, in comparison with general-purpose simulations, allows an improvement of upwards of twenty in the mass resolution. As a sanity check, we run a moderate resolution simulation ($N=128^3$ particles) and confirm that the resulting mass function of void halos is consistent with other theoretical and numerical models.

title: Diagnosis of tuberculosis in a high burden resource limited setting
Creators: name: Dang, Thi Minh Ha
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: It is estimated that over nine million new tuberculosis (TB) cases worldwide occurred in 2009. However, only 63% of these cases were notified, which is lower than the 75% target set by the DOTS strategy. The lack of ideal diagnostic tests is one of the major barriers to effective TB reduction. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the efficiency of a novel liquid culture based technique (Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility Assay-MODS) and a new generation fluorescence microscope (Light Emitting Diodes fluorescence microscope - LED fluorescence microscope) in diagnosis of TB and multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR- TB) in Viet Nam, a resource limited, high burden setting. In the studies described in this thesis, MODS had a higher sensitivity than homogenous smear microscopy, detecting an additional 13% of cases, in diagnosis of TB. Importantly, the pooled sensitivity of MODS (53.0%) was comparable to that of Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube technique (MGIT) (57.8%) with clinical presentation as the gold standard. In terms of multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR- TB) diagnosis, MODS had rather low sensitivity in detection of Isoniazid (INH) or Rifampicin (RIF) resistant and MDR isolates, 72.6%, 72.7% and 77.8%, respectively against the proportional drug susceptibility testing (DST) method. The low sensitivity of DST-MODS in this study was probably due to low bacterial load samples and use of a high INH critical concentration (O.4~g/ml). For LED microscopy, the detection rate, sensitivity, specificity and false negative of LED 40X were comparable to those of conventional fluorescence microscope and light microscope. The false positive rate • of LED 40X increased in comparison with Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) reading in the early phases of the evaluation (2.6% and 2.7% vs 0% in the validation and implementation phases vs continuation phase, respectively), probably due to lack of experience among technicians, but no significant difference was found (P>0.05). In the last phase, no false positive result was recorded. Although the reading time of fluorescence-LED (FM-LED) and ZN reading were less than 2 minutes, ZN-light microscope (ZN-LM) reading time was shorter than that of FM-LED40X, especially in positive smears (P=0.007) in the early study phase. By the end of the study, FM-LED reading time was shorter than ZN-LM which was recorded in the early phase. With high experienced technicians there may be little or no additional benefit to case detection if a light microscope is replaced by a fluorescence microscope. In general, MODS and LED microscopy are reliable methods for use in diagnosis of TB in resource limited settings due to their accuracy, reliability and low costs. Large scale operational projects should be conducted to evaluate the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of these methods in countries where these techniques are to be implemented.
