description: This paper presents the standardization of Proton Induced X-rays Emission (PIXE) technique for the trace element analysis of thick standard samples. Three standard reference materials (SRMs) viz-à-vis titanium, copper and iron base alloys were used for the study due to their availability. The protons beam was accelerated up to 2.57 MeV energy by 5UDH-II tandem Pelletron accelerator and samples were irradiated at different geometry and durations. Spectrum was acquired using a multi-channel spectrum analyzer while spectrum analysis was done using a GUPIXWIN model for determination of elemental concentrations of trace elements. The obtained experimental data was compared with theoretical data and results were found in close agreement.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 82, 245-254
description: This study, which is based on 113 interviews conducted with respondents who lived in the Soar Valley between 1945 and 1971, engages the concept of the Black Economy; often regarded in historical enquiry at best, as nebulous, and at worst, unknowable. The research undertaken and the source material accessed would not have been possible had not the author, to some extent, been an 'insider' in the community during the period examined. This has been an exercise in oral enquiry rooted in living history, informing the notion of the family economy. Given the sensitive nature of the testimony obtained, the identity of respondents has been withheld, where appropriate.

description: We prove that the accumulation points of a sequence of graphs $G_1,G_2,G_3,\ldots$ with respect to the cut-distance are exactly the weak$^*$ limit points of subsequences of the adjacency matrices (when all possible orders of the vertices are considered) that minimize the entropy over all weak$^*$ limit points of the corresponding subsequence. In fact, the entropy can be replaced by any map $W\mapsto \int\int f(W(x,y))$, where $f$ is a continuous and strictly concave function. Our proofs are elementary, and do not use the regularity lemma.

description: Most real-world document collections involve various types of metadata, such as author, source, and date, and yet the most commonly-used approaches to modeling text corpora ignore this information. While specialized models have been developed for particular applications, few are widely used in practice, as customization typically requires derivation of a custom inference algorithm. In this paper, we build on recent advances in variational inference methods and propose a general neural framework, based on topic models, to enable flexible incorporation of metadata and allow for rapid exploration of alternative models. Our approach achieves strong performance, with a manageable tradeoff between perplexity, coherence, and sparsity. Finally, we demonstrate the potential of our framework through an exploration of a corpus of articles about US immigration.

On Bayesian Exponentially Embedded Family for Model Order Selection

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (stat.ML)

description: In this paper, we derive a Bayesian model order selection rule by using the exponentially embedded family method, termed Bayesian EEF. Unlike many other Bayesian model selection methods, the Bayesian EEF can use vague proper priors and improper noninformative priors to be objective in the elicitation of parameter priors. Moreover, the penalty term of the rule is shown to be the sum of half of the parameter dimension and the estimated mutual information between parameter and observed data. This helps to reveal the EEF mechanism in selecting model orders and may provide new insights into the open problems of choosing an optimal penalty term for model order selection and choosing a good prior from information theoretic viewpoints. The important example of linear model order selection is given to illustrate the algorithms and arguments. Lastly, the Bayesian EEF that uses Jeffreys prior coincides with the EEF rule derived by frequentist strategies. This shows another interesting relationship between the frequentist and Bayesian philosophies for model selection.

description: We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in a critical scaling parametrized by $a\geq0$, which creates a shock in the particle density of order $aT^{-1/3},$ $T$ the observation time. When starting from step initial data, we provide bounds on the limiting law which in particular imply that in the double limit $\lim_{a \to \infty}\lim_{T \to \infty}$ one recovers the product limit law and the degeneration of the correlation length observed at shocks of order $1$. This result is shown to apply to a general last-passage percolation model. We also obtain bounds on the two-point functions of several $\mathrm{Airy}$ processes.

description: Nineteenth-century restorers transformed the appearance of all but a handful of churches in Leicestershire. Box-pews and galleries were ejected and open benches and choir stalls put in; plaster ceilings were removed in favour of open timber roofs; brick floors were replaced by coloured tiles; stained glass appeared in countless windows. Wherever possible things were made to look medieval (or what was supposed to be medieval). All these matters, and several more besides, are well known: much was written about them at the time and they have been frequently discussed by later writers on the activities of the Gothic Revival. One further dramatic feature of nineteenth century change is the removal of rendering on church walls. Despite its obvious aesthetic and archaeological importance, this attracted remarkably little theoretical discussion at the time and still less since. This paper aims to help redress the balance as far as Leicestershire (including Rutland) is concerned.

Regulator constants of integral representations of finite groups

description: Let G be a finite group and p be a prime. We investigate isomorphism invariants of $\mathbb{Z}_{p}[G]$-lattices whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, called regulator constants. These were originally introduced by Dokchitser--Dokchitser in the context of elliptic curves. Regulator constants canonically yield a pairing between the space of Brauer relations for G and the subspace of the representation ring for which regulator constants are defined. For all G, we show that this pairing is never identically zero. For formal reasons, this pairing will, in general, have non-trivial kernel. But, if G has cyclic Sylow p-subgroups and we restrict to considering permutation lattices, then we show that the pairing is non-degenerate modulo the formal kernel. Using this we can show that, for certain groups, including dihedral groups of order 2p for p odd, the isomorphism class of any $\mathbb{Z}_p[G]$-lattice whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, is determined by its regulator constants, its extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and a cohomological invariant of Yakovlev.

description: A very persuasive argument has been made' by Professor Lawrence Stone that, in the years following the death of Queen Elizabeth, the electoral influence of the peerage declined. Their territorial holdings decreased and with it, the basis of their power that had made them influential patrons in the Tudor years. Indeed, as the fabric of early Stuart society began to break under the increasing pressure of political, economic and religious controversy, the influence of the peerage and especially of a peer with close ties to the court, was under even greater strain.

description: In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of a coronal blowout jet eruption which was associated with an obvious extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave and one complicated coronal mass ejection (CME) event based on the multi-wavelength and multi-view-angle observations from {\sl Solar Dynamics Observatory} and {\sl Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory}. It is found that the triggering of the blowout jet was due to the emergence and cancellation of magnetic fluxes on the photosphere. During the rising stage of the jet, the EUV wave appeared just ahead of the jet top, lasting about 4 minutes and at a speed of 458 - \speed{762}. In addition, obvious dark material is observed along the EUV jet body, which confirms the observation of a mini-filament eruption at the jet base in the chromosphere. Interestingly, two distinct but overlapped CME structures can be observed in corona together with the eruption of the blowout jet. One is in narrow jet-shape, while the other one is in bubble-shape. The jet-shaped component was unambiguously related with the outwardly running jet itself, while the bubble-like one might either be produced due to the reconstruction of the high coronal fields or by the internal reconnection during the mini-filament ejection according to the double-CME blowout jet model firstly proposed by Shen et al. (2012b), suggesting more observational evidence should be supplied to clear the current ambiguity based on large samples of blowout jets in future studies.

Education in Rutland in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 55, 38-48
description: For obscure reasons, little has been written about education in Rutland. As the tiny county became a part of Leicestershire only in 1974, its schools were naturally excluded from the excellent account of educational developments in the latter across four centuries, published recently. A monograph devoted to school buildings spanning five hundred years from 1370 briefly mentions the grammar schools ofOakham and Uppingham and National Society schools at Little Casterton and Tinwell. Nicholas Carlisle sketched the early history of the two famous free schools though he was writing more than two centuries after their foundation in 1584. Both were erected by the Reverend Robert Johnson, Rector of North Luffenham, but it was not until 1625, at the advanced age of eighty-five that he drafted Statutes and Ordinances. In that year he named twenty-four governors (presumably to manage the affairs of both schools) including Jeremy Whitaker and John Clarke, then masters at Oakham and Uppingham respectively. These apart, such are the gaps in Carlisle's sources of information that his list of masters for Oakham begins in 1724 and that for Uppingham in 1645.

In particular, the Kellogg property (which says that the set of irregular boundary points has capacity zero) is obtained for a large class of compactifications, but also two examples when it fails are given. This study is done for complete metric spaces equipped with doubling measures supporting a p-Poincaré inequality, but the results are new also in unweighted Euclidean spaces.

The investigated data sets include the absolute production cross sections as well as $ψ'$-to-Drell Yan (DY) cross section ratios. An adapted version of two component QVZ model has been employed to calculate $ψ'$ production cross sections. For both $ψ'$ and DY production, nuclear modifications to the free nucleon structure functions are taken into account. For $ψ'$, final state interaction of the produced $c\bar{c}$ pairs with the nuclear medium is also taken into account, in accordance with the previously analyzed $J/ψ$ data. A satisfactory description of the data in $p+A$ collisions is obtained. Model calculations are extrapolated to low energy regime to predict the $ψ'$ suppression in proton induced collisions at near threshold energies.

Prison Palace or 'Hell upon earth'

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 70, 128-146
description: This article examines the regime within Leicester County Gaol between 1846, when the separate system of penal discipline was first introduced, and 1865, when a uniform system of prison discipline was effectively defined by the Prison Act of that year. Both contemporaries and historians have subjected the separate system to varying interpretations, arising in part from the differing degree of emphasis placed on the system's potentially reformative and punitive aspects by individual gaols. The extensive building improvement programme necessitated by the introduction of the new system (which required all prisoners to be separated from each other during the day as well as at night), produced many prominent buildings, fostering the accusation from some that prison accommodation was becoming palatial. Others, however, have concluded that separatist regimes were unduly harsh and repressive: 'Hell upon earth' was a description applied to Leicester County Gaol by a government convict, and Leicester does seem to have had a reputation for severity.

description: It is a far cry from the Sketchbook of Villard de Honnecourt, that record of a thirteenth-century maitre d'oeuvre, the "Gothic Vitruvius", to the drawings of Raphael Brandon, the nineteenth-century professional architect; from the original shout of Gothic joy to the distant echo six hundred years later. And yet both men were dedicated to the same art. Raphael Brandon, in fact, had his earliest training in France, and studied the same buildings which Villard recorded with such great gusto at the time of their construction. Many of Brandon's contemporaries did likewise, and these men - the much and over-maligned "restorers", "copyists" and "despoilers of our architectural heritage" - were equally enthusiasts, who between them sketched, measured and wrote about their love with a personal dedication, a fanaticism, which it would be hard to match today, and might well have put Villard de Honnecourt to shame. Putting on one side for a moment the complex religious and social forces which helped to mould the Gothic Revival, these men may be considered in the first instance as enthusiasts in their profession of architecture.

Preparing for the Digital Value Exchange Economy in B2B. As the B2B sector undergoes its own digital transformation how do manufacturing SMEs integrate the impact it will have on the value proposition of their existing marketing and sales resources?

description: This thesis investigates how SMEs in the manufacturing sector integrate the impact on the client relationship of digitally transforming their existing marketing and sales resources. It examines how digitised client interfaces can contribute to building incremental value in their client relationship strategy through the categorisation and optimisation of data. The Data Value Efficiency model (DVE) is proposed as an outcome of the research undertaken and contributes to literature on value creation in the digital transformation of sales and marketing. This model is supported by a suggested definition of the B2B Data Value Exchange Economy. Recommendations are made to guide industrial SMEs in categorising and optimising the flow of collected client data in order to interact with their client base in a timely and resourceful manner. By adopting a pragmatic, mixed-methods approach applying Grounded Theory methodology, primary research was undertaken, comprising a longitudinal behavioural analysis of client facing functions within the selected SME. Additionally, semi-structured interviews with practitioners, academics and company stakeholders were recorded and subsequently analysed using nVivo software. The behavioural analysis identifies that a partial digital transformation of the client relationship management role results in projected efficiency (time, financial and resource) gains of 44%. The qualitative analysis exposes an evolution of initial client/supplier engagement through Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and social media strategies. The research suggests that the digital transformation of sales and marketing functions in manufacturing SMEs will create value through enhanced websites evolving into value exchange platforms by integrating marketplaces of expertise. The marketplace will match client requirements to supplier expertise through artificial intelligence. As a consequence, the marketplace will formulate the value proposition of the sales and marketing teams in both a timely and efficient manner. The successful implementation of such a platform will be based on SMEs ability (internally or through consultative support) to identify and optimise four types of datasets based on client interactions: automated, designated, generated and co-created datasets It also suggests that SMEs need to integrate innovative digital interfaces with the proposed marketplace platform to enable internal and external communication between client and supplier, which responds favourably to clients’ expectations of a single point of contact with the supplier.

The existence of such solutions was conjectured by Fila and King.
The role of conventions in the running of farm shops in the UK
Creators: name: Griffin, Robert G.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: UK farm shops have received little attention in the alternative food network (AFN) literature. Farm shop environmental context was interrogated to establish its influence on the consumption experience. A holistic multi-methods approach was adopted drawing on autoethnography, an exploratory survey, G.I.S, an open-ended customer questionnaire, customer e-WOM reviews, online space rhetoric and imagery, and interviews with owners and farmers partners. Braun and Clarke’s formalised approach to thematic analysis was employed. A negotiated ‘transference’ of trust was identified between vendor/producers and consumers, dependent on primary producers adhering to their production ethos when sourcing brought-in products. Negotiated transference of trust was identified as connected to institutional proximity, afforded to farm-sited farm shops, facilitating customers’ acceptance of AFN hybridity. Farm shops met Pine and Gilmore’s (1998) five factors that aid consumption experiences. These enterprises were revealed to be places of nostalgia-evoking experiential consumption (Hamilton & Wagner, 2014) realised through owner intention (e.g., retroscaping) and incidental associations (i.e., multi-sensory on-farm location). Farm shops facilitated customer escapism through a positive themed event, revealing how the materialities of the farm shop and its working farm environ establish experiential consumption; identified as a source of resistance to supermarket co-optation. Farmers’ partners exhibited an entrepreneur identity in the development and running of the enterprise. Reporting positive rewards of status, emotional pride, and economic contribution to the farm business. These benefits appeared compartmentalised to the enterprise with renegotiation of reproductive work allocation unrealised. The multi-disciplinary approach employed a conceptually-driven lens, utilising convention theory and Brown’s (1999) retroscape, to explore the practices and representations of alterity, experiential consumption, and patriarchy in the formation of the farm shop. The findings provide knowledge progression and promise new ways of understanding AFNs.

In addition we study the transformations generated by superderivatives, which were recently included in the cohomological structure emerging in the dissipative systems. We find that these transformations do not generate Ward identities, which are explicitly broken, however, they lead to universal identities, which we derive from Schwinger-Dyson equations. We confirm that the above identities hold in an explicit example of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.

This article undertakes a pioneering investigation into its significance by means of a case study of the DRC as it operated in the town of Hinckley, Leicestershire, and which demonstrated the unsung role that the organisation played in mobilising and coordinating the war effort at a local level. An important discovery was that over time the committee evolved from a charitable organisation, run by local dignitaries and personalities, from the onset of the war to, by 1916, a professionally operated de facto local government department. The effect of this largely unknown network, which has merited scant attention from historians, was to enable the government both rapidly to acquire and disseminate local information vital to the war effort, with the provision of aniline dyes being one such example.

description: This article explores the transition of military service from the principle of individualism, whereby each individual operated on a self-reliant basis and made their own choices; to collectivism as represented by the Derby Scheme and Local Tribunals, whereby individuals were subjected to group decisions. Some historians would argue that it was a shift from volunteerism to collectivism which took place.

description: The shift to total war, when mobilisation for the war effort became the overwhelming policy objective, imposed unprecedented levels of deprivation on the civilian population. Rather surprisingly, Britain, in general, and Hinckley in particular, did not suffer the social unrest which undermined the commitment to the war efforts in other countries. This article investigates why Hinckley, a market town in Leicestershire, continued to prosper during the war, and also the crucially important role played by the town's leaders in enabling its inhabitants to avoid the deprivation and social unrest which became increasingly evident during the latter stages of the First World War.
A Medieval Undercroft, Tenements and Associated Buildings at 9 St Nicholas Place, and Related Sites, Leicester

description: Examination of the results of recent archaeological excavations at 9 St Nicholas Place in Leicester, along with data from unpublished sites in the same locality, has yielded important information regarding the origins and development of burghal properties from the early medieval period onwards. It appears likely that these land divisions, with their probable late Anglo-Saxon origins, were initially laid out in an arrangement of substantial, regularly-sized plots prior to early sub-division during the medieval period, stemming from increasing pressure on urban space and driven by speculative commercial exploitation of street frontages along the principal commercial streets. The crowded nature of these plots is evident from the cramped character of the buildings found, with repeated rebuilds of structures, despite frequent evidence of subsidence into earlier features. This underlines the economic attractiveness of a site in close proximity to the urban core. The influence albeit indirect of earlier buildings on the pattern of medieval land division is clear, with certain walls of the Roman Forum influencing the position and arrangement of the burgage plots, and hence the subsequent setting out of lines of parish boundaries. The presence of a substantial masonry undercroft structure on a street frontage and a possible second example close by serves to underline the commercial and social pre-eminence of this central area of medieval Leicester.

The Medieval Parks of Beaumanor, Loughborough and Burley: New Archaeology and a Reassessment of the Historical Evidence
Creators: name: Kirkland, Andy
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 85, 107-121
description: This paper advances a reconsideration of the relationship between the adjacent medieval parks of Beaumanor, Loughborough and Burley, on the western edge of Loughborough. They were all tenanted by the Despenser family soon after the Norman Conquest until the early fourteenth century. The accepted view that these parks were separate entities within the local landscape is questioned and new archaeological evidence is presented which suggests that, until at least 1350, rather than being three separate parks, they were actually one large unit managed for a number of different ends. This was probably not an area given over solely to recreational hunting. A review of the historical evidence, which suggests the use to which this area was put, is presented.
Leicestershire and the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918-19

description: This article considers the effects of the influenza pandemic of 1918-19 on the population of Leicestershire through an examination of the official reports and local and national newspapers of the day, together with the findings of more recent research. The infection occurred in three waves between the summer of 1918 and the spring of 1919, and aroused little concern initially. However, the arrival of the second wave in the autumn of 1918 brought with it unprecedented levels of morbidity and mortality, rendering the efforts of hospital staff and doctors still in civil practice largely impotent. This article looks at the possible origins and spread of the pandemic; at efforts of medical staff and the public to care for the sick and bury the dead; at those populations most susceptible to infection; and considers why Leicestershire was amongst the most severely affected in England.
An Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Wigston Magna

description: In 1795 an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was found at Wigston Magna and some of the objects from it drawn. The recording of surviving objects from the site has allowed a reappraisal, including relatively recent fieldwork. This suggests a sequence of occupation from the Iron Age to the early/middle Saxon. The cemetery material is principally sixth century A.D. in date and includes a high status element.

The Greyfriars Project: the Search for the Last Known Resting Place of King Richard III

description: Very little is known about Greyfriars, the medieval franciscan friary which stood in the south-east quarter of the core of historic leicester. One event, however, stands out in its 300-year history. On 25 august 1485, King Richard III was buried in the friary church following his defeat by Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Over the centuries it had been maintained widely that when Greyfriars was demolished in 1538, King Richard's tomb was desecrated. his remains were, reputedly, dug up and paraded through the streets of the town before being thrown unceremoniously into the river soar from Bow Bridge. This story is first mentioned by John Speed in his History of Great Britaine, 73 years after this supposed event took place. On Saturday 25 August 2012, 527 years after King Richard III was buried in Leicester, University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS), in collaboration with Leicester City Council and the Richard III Society, began a historic archaeological project, the aim of which was to discover whether England's last Plantagenet king still lay buried in Leicester city centre, or if he had, as some records suggest, been removed from the site. The project represents the first ever search for the lost grave of an anointed king of England. Building on the research of Charles Billson (1920) and David Baldwin (1986), the project focused on the Greyfriars area of leicester. This broadly covered a block of land bordered by friar lane to the south, Greyfriars to the east, St Martin's to the north and New Street to the west (SK 585 043 centre). This sub-rectangular area of land is largely filled today with buildings within which are two large open spaces - the Leicester City Council social services staff car park, and the playground of the former Alderman Newton's school. Both of these areas have remained largely undisturbed since the friary was demolished in the sixteenth century. The excavation of parts of these two areas was carried out between 25 August and 14 September 2012.

The Leicestershire Riots of 1773 and 1787
Creators: name: L Wykes, David
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 54, 39-50
description: This paper is mainly concerned with the 'Whetstone Riots' of 1787, the second of two major outrages of machine-breaking that occurred during the final half of the eighteenth century. They were not only more serious than the riots of 1773, but revealed a number of more complex and far-reaching features. As part of a larger study into nonconformists in the trade and industry of Leicester, this investigation will examine mainly the victims of the riots, who in both incidents were nonconformists, rather than those taking part, although as far as the material allows, the composition of the crowds will not be neglected.
