description: The anisotrpy of the redshift space bispectrum $B^s(\mathbf{k_1},\mathbf{k_2},\mathbf{k_3})$, which contains a wealth of cosmological information, is completely quantified using multipole moments $\bar{B}^m_{\ell}(k_1,μ,t)$ where $k_1$, the length of the largest side, and $(μ,t)$ respectively quantify the size and shape of the triangle $(\mathbf{k_1},\mathbf{k_2},\mathbf{k_3})$. We present analytical expressions for all the multipoles which are predicted to be non-zero ($\ell \le 8, m \le 6$ ) at second order perturbation theory. The multipoles also depend on $β_1,b_1$ and $γ_2$, which quantify the linear redshift distortion parameter, linear bias and quadratic bias respectively. Considering triangles of all possible shapes, we analyse the shape dependence of all of the multipoles holding $k_1=0.2 \, {\rm Mpc}^{-1}, β_1=1, b_1=1$ and $γ_2=0$ fixed. The monopole $\bar{B}^0_0$, which is positive everywhere, is minimum for equilateral triangles. $\bar{B}_0^0$ increases towards linear triangles, and is maximum for linear triangles close to the squeezed limit. Both $\bar{B}^0_{2}$ and $\bar{B}^0_4$ are similar to $\bar{B}^0_0$, however the quadrupole $\bar{B}^0_2$ exceeds $\bar{B}^0_0$ over a significant range of shapes. The other multipoles, many of which become negative, have magnitudes smaller than $\bar{B}^0_0$. In most cases the maxima or minima, or both, occur very close to the squeezed limit. $\mid \bar{B}^m_{\ell} \mid $ is found to decrease rapidly if $\ell$ or $m$ are increased. The shape dependence shown here is characteristic of non-linear gravitational clustering. Non-linear bias, if present, will lead to a different shape dependence.

description: Since the 1990s, innovation has been recognised as having a key role in the development and competitiveness of European rural territories. In particular, in the LEADER approach, innovation is seen in social and cultural terms rather than as a technological issue, but it has been interpreted by national and, above all, local policies almost exclusively in the latter sense. Especially at local level, often a ‘productivist’ approach emerges that in many cases reveals deeply-rooted conservativeness in the planning and implementation of programmes. Puglia, a NUTS 2 region in southern Italy, acknowledges the key role of innovation in rural development and invested a bigger share of funding in Axes III and IV of Pillar 2 of the Common Agricultural Policy in the 2007-2013 programming cycle than did the other Italian regions. This study examines the regional case in two interconnected stages to identify firstly the interpretation of innovation from the programmatic and operative points of view, and secondly, the needs and critical issues in terms of innovation in governance on the local scale through interviews with stakeholders from a representative LAG named ‘Terra dei Messapi’. It reveals not only a marked disparity in the way innovation was interpreted, but also the limitations and critical issues in planning and in regional and local governance, which prove unable to embrace innovation affecting social and institutional processes and, more generally, processes related to the context.

description: Systematic analysis of deformations in neutron-rich N=14 isotones was done based on the method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The property of the shape coexistence in $^{28}$Si, which is known to have the oblate ground state and the prolate excited states, was successfully described. The results suggest that the shape coexistence may occur also in neutron-rich N=14 nuclei as well as $^{28}$Si. It was found that the oblate neutron shapes are favored because of the spin-orbit force in most of N=14 isotones. $Q$ moments and $E2$ transition strengths in the neutron-rich nuclei were discussed in relation to the intrinsic deformations, and a possible difference between the proton and neutron deformations in $^{24}$Ne was proposed.

description: A $θ$ term in lattice field theory causes the sign problem in Monte Carlo simulations. This problem can be circumvented by Fourier-transforming the topological charge distribution $P(Q)$. This strategy, however, has a limitation, because errors of $P(Q)$ prevent one from calculating the partition function ${\cal Z}(θ)$ properly for large volumes. This is called flattening. As an alternative approach to the Fourier method, we utilize the maximum entropy method (MEM) to calculate ${\cal Z}(θ)$. We apply the MEM to Monte Carlo data of the CP$^3$ model. It is found that in the non-flattening case, the result of the MEM agrees with that of the Fourier transform, while in the flattening case, the MEM gives smooth ${\cal Z}(θ)$.

description: The involvement of disadvantaged groups in European Union neo-endogenous rural development programmes, such as the LEADER programme, must be a high priority. In this paper we study the profiles of the beneficiaries of LEADER and PRODER, the main Spanish example of mainstreaming the LEADER method, in the NUTS 2 region of Andalucía, Spain in the period 2002-2008, and of the decision makers in the Local Action Groups (LAGs). Using quantitative information provided by the regional administration and a questionnaire survey of managers of the LAGs, we show that there has been continuing underrepresentation of previously disadvantaged groups and territories, so contributing to uneven and selective empowerment and governance that favours the emergence of a project class. The groups that have benefi ted the most from LEADER investments have been entrepreneurs and ‘town halls’, in this order. Interviewed LAG managers felt that many mistakes had been made in the application of LEADER: excessive bureaucracy and interventionism by the regional administration, loss of the original philosophy, low participation of disadvantaged groups and lack of strategic vision. As was noted by one of the LAG managers, “LEADER has been a victim of its own success; the universalisation of its method has led to the elimination of its experimental nature as a real laboratory for the development of rural areas”.

description: In the 2007-2013 European Union programming period, Romania benefitted from assistance provided through the Human Resources Development Operational Programme, financed by the European Social Fund, to promote social inclusion. Women are, in many instances, a vulnerable group that needs support from various sources for greater integration in the labour market. This integration resides in encouraging entrepreneurship. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how support is anticipated by women planning to start a business and assessed by those who already have experience in entrepreneurship. To achieve the research objectives, a study was conducted on a sample of 774 women in three NUTS 2 development regions of Romania in 2013. The variables used in the analysis were grouped using factor analysis in two factors. The results of the primary analysis reveal a greater emphasis on the first factor, represented by institutions, and less importance given to the second factor, represented by family and friends. However, potential female entrepreneurs are characterised by a tendency to overestimate the first factor, as positive on the one hand or rather negative on the other, in terms of starting an entrepreneurial approach. Our results point out the need for a stronger involvement of the responsible institutions in building trust and ensuring the support needed by female entrepreneurs.

description: The Majorana Demonstrator is a neutrinoless double-beta decay search consisting of a low-background modular array of high-purity germanium detectors, $\sim2/3$ of which are enriched to 88\% in $^{76}$Ge. The experiment is also searching for double-beta decay of $^{76}$Ge to excited states (e.s.) in $^{76}$Se. $^{76}$Ge can decay into three daughter states of $^{76}$Se, with clear event signatures consisting of a $ββ$-decay followed by the prompt emission of one or two $γ$-rays. This results with high probability in multi-detector coincidences. The granularity of the Demonstrator detector array enables powerful discrimination of this event signature from backgrounds. Using 41.9~kg-y of isotopic exposure, the Demonstrator has set world leading limits for each e.s.\ decay of $^{76}$Ge, with 90\% CL lower half-life limits in the range of $(0.75-4.0)\times10^{24}$~y. In particular, for the $2ν$ transition to the first $0^+$ e.s.\ of $^{76}$Se, a lower half-life limit of $7.5\times10^{23}$~y at 90\% CL was achieved.

description: Since the 1990s the LEADER approach has very powerfully addressed the spirit of mobilising actors in the countryside through focusing on endogenous potential and activating local stakeholders across all sectors. Given the long-term experience and wealth of diverse development initiatives across the European Union (EU), the diversity of implementation is huge. Considering the limited financial support as a Community Initiative (until 2006), a significant extension and ‘upgrading’ of LEADER was intended by integrating it into the EU Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) since 2007. The shift from the character of a ‘pilot’ instrument at the start of LEADER to its ‘mainstreaming’ into the RDPs involved radical administrative changes and high expectations of increased impacts. The interest in LEADER practice and effectiveness led to many studies that in general apply a limited perspective of self-evaluation and refl ection on LEADER activities. Its main impact is seen in providing learning processes in rural regions and the effects on changes in local governance through extended involvement of local stakeholders and institutions. This paper provides a synthesis of European experiences and analyses of core changes, in particular by referring to the example of implementation in the Austrian context. The main lessons are based on the refl ection of obstacles and promoting factors of implementation during the last 25 years against the LEADER principles. The limitations in the assessment of LEADER call for a systemic approach that includes interrelations to a much wider degree. LEADER’s legacy is seen well beyond a quantitative measurement, but has to be found in its influence on actors’ perspectives, new pathways and strategies for rural development.

General limit to non-destructive optical detection of atoms

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We demonstrate that there is a fundamental limit to the sensitivity of phase-based detection of atoms with light for a given maximum level of allowable spontaneous emission. This is a generalisation of previous results for two-level and three-level atoms. The limit is due to an upper bound on the phase shift that can be imparted on a laser beam for a given excited state population. Specifially, we show that no single-pass optical technique using classical light, based on any number of lasers or coherences between any number of levels, can exceed the limit imposed by the two-level atom. This puts significant restrictions on potential non-destructive optical measurement schemes.

description: In this study subsidies are considered both an element of government expenditure and a source of household income. The impact of reallocating existing subsidy expenditures to elected alternatives are estimated upon factors such as growth, employment, personal savings, indirect ta and import using a semi-closed input-output model. The results indicate substantial scope for deriving additional benefits by reallocating the existing subsidies on foreign wage earnings and urban food ration (enjoyed by the richer classes) to fertilizer, food grain procurement or rural food ration (enjoyed by the poorer classes). Reallocation of fertilizer or rural food ration have no benefits. The benefits of reallocation of production activities are higher than for consumption activities.

description: Synoptic searches for the optical counterpart to a binary neutron star (BNS) or neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger can pose significant challenges towards the discovery of kilonovae and performing multi-messenger science. In this work, we describe the advantage of a global multi-telescope network towards this end, with a particular focus on the key and complementary role the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) plays in multi-facility follow-up. We describe the Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) Target-of-Opportunity (ToO) Marshal, a common web application we built to ingest events, plan observations, search for transient candidates, and retrieve performance summary statistics for all of the telescopes in our network. Our infrastructure enabled us to conduct observations of two events during O3a, S190426c and S190510g. Furthermore, our analysis of deep DECam observations of S190814bv conducted by the DESGW team, and access to a variety of global follow-up facilities allowed us to place meaningful constraints on the parameters of the kilonova and the merging binary. We emphasize the importance of a global telescope network in conjunction with a power telescope like DECam in performing searches for the counterparts to gravitational-wave sources.

Our distance oracles for interval graphs also support navigation queries -- testing adjacency, computing node degrees, neighborhoods, and shortest paths -- all in optimal time. Our technique also yields optimal distance oracles for proper interval graphs (unit-interval graphs) and circular-arc graphs. Our tree data structure supports all operations provided by different approaches in previous work, as well as mapping to and from level-order ranks and retrieving the last (first) internal node before (after) a given node in a level-order traversal, all in constant time.

description: This paper further builds on the price transmission model framework of existing studies to identify domestic wheat price effects of wheat export controls. We explicitly take the fact into account that a harvest failure causes domestic price effects as well. Moreover, the analysis at the regional level provides further evidence of the functioning of export controls in a large country. Results suggest a pronounced regional heterogeneity in the strength of domestic price effects of the 2010/11 export ban in Russia. The wheat price dampening effects amount to up to 67 % and are strongest in the major wheat exporting region with direct access to the world market. This effect is transmitted to other regions by increased and reversed interregional trade flows. Contrasting, regional variation of export controls´ domestic price effects in Ukraine is rather small.

description: In Australia and beyond, journalism is reportedly an industry in crisis, a crisis exacerbated by COVID-19. However, the evidence revealing the crisis is often anecdotal or limited in scope. In this unprecedented longitudinal research, we draw on data from the Australian journalism jobs market from January 2012 until March 2020. Using Data Science and Machine Learning techniques, we analyse two distinct data sets: job advertisements (ads) data comprising 3,698 journalist job ads from a corpus of over 8 million Australian job ads; and official employment data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Having matched and analysed both sources, we address both the demand for and supply of journalists in Australia over this critical period. The data show that the crisis is real, but there are also surprises. Counter-intuitively, the number of journalism job ads in Australia rose from 2012 until 2016, before falling into decline. Less surprisingly, for the entire period studied the figures reveal extreme volatility, characterised by large and erratic fluctuations. The data also clearly show that COVID-19 has significantly worsened the crisis. We then tease out more granular findings, including: that there are now more women than men journalists in Australia, but that gender inequity is worsening, with women journalists getting younger and worse-paid just as men journalists are, on average, getting older and better-paid; that, despite the crisis besetting the industry, the demand for journalism skills has increased; and that, perhaps concerningly, the skills sought by journalism job ads increasingly include social media and generalist communications.

description: The heat transfer phenomena for single- and double-layer inclined absorbers, which absorb synchrotron radiation has been studied using analytical and numerical methods. Photon penetration through the metal layers has been included and the effects of the spectral variation of the absorption coefficients and variable thermal conductivities have been examined. Different thickness ratios and inclination angles have been studied for double layer absorbers and it has been shown that double-layer inclined absorbers significantly reduce the peak temperatures. In the current study, thermoplasmonic characteristics of cerium nanoparticles with spherical, core-shell and rod shapes were investigated. In order to investigate these characteristics, the interaction of synchrotron radiation emission as a function of the beam energy and cerium nanoparticles were simulated using the 3D finite element method. Firstly, absorption and extinction cross-sections were calculated. Then, increases in temperature due to synchrotron radiation emission as a function of the beam energy absorption were calculated in cerium nanoparticles by solving the heat equation. The obtained results showed that cerium nanorods are a more appropriate option for using in optothermal human cancer cells, tissues and tumor treatment methods. Furthermore, the produced heat devastates tumor tissues adjacent to nanoparticles without any hurt to sound tissues. Regarding the simplicity of ligands connection to cerium nanoparticles for targeting cancer cells, these nanoparticles are more appropriate to use in optothermal human cancer cells, tissues and tumors treatment.

Can fatty acids, found in sediments from three coastal B.C. Inlets, be used as biomarkers to hindcast harmful algal blooms of Heterosigma akashiwo?
Creators: name: Drost, Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study presents fatty acid profiles of the harmful algae Heterosigma akashiwo. These profiles were generated to assess the variability in H. akashiwo fatty acid proportions and to compare the results with past research on this and other species of marine algae. Past research has identified several important fatty acids that are used as biomarkers for microbial functional groups including: diatoms, dinoflagellates, bacteria, zooplankton and terrestrial plants. Can the fatty acids found in sediments be used to trace the historical bloom events of H. akashiwo? This question was the focus of this study. Key fatty acids for this species were selected and used as probes to search for similar fatty acid proportions in marine sediments collected from three British Columbian Inlets near the Strait of Georgia. The sediments from Howe Sound, Hotham Sound and Malaspina Inlet showed considerable variation in fatty acid abundance. The latter Inlet had the highest concentration of acids whereas Howe Sound had the least. The fatty acid biomarkers for H. akashiwo were incorporated into a multivariate analysis of the sediment samples to locate the particular depths in the sediment that the proportions of these fatty acids matched the H. akashiwo profiles. The results were tested by comparing DNA counts for H. akashiwo that were extracted concurrently by another researcher using the same sediment samples from Hotham Sound and Malaspina Inlet. The DNA and fatty acid data were not in close agreement. Degradation limits the interpretive power of both DNA and fatty acid biomarkers found at depth in sediments. Further analysis using multi biomarkers including pigments and sterols could be incorporated into the method of analysis presented in this two part study.

This may result in amplified drag loads and fast accumulation of fatigue damage. Consequently, accurate prediction of VIV responses is of great importance for the safe design and operation of marine risers. Model tests with elastic pipes have shown that VIV responses are influenced by many structural and hydrodynamic parameters, which have not been fully modelled in present frequency domain VIV prediction tools. Traditionally, predictions have been computed using a single set of hydrodynamic parameters, often leading to inconsistent prediction accuracy when compared with observed field measurements and experimental data. Hence, it is necessary to implement a high safety factor of 10 - 20 in the riser design, which increases development cost and adds extra constraints in the field operation. One way to compensate for the simplifications in the mathematical prediction model is to apply adaptive parameters to describe different riser responses. The objective of this work is to demonstrate a new method to improve the prediction consistency and accuracy by applying adaptive hydrodynamic parameters. In the present work, a four-step approach has been proposed: First, the measured VIV response will be analysed to identify key parameters to represent the response characteristics. These parameters will be grouped using data clustering algorithms. Secondly, optimal hydrodynamic parameters will be identified for each data group by optimisation against measured data. Thirdly, the VIV response using the obtained parameters will be calculated and the prediction accuracy evaluated. The correct hydrodynamic parameters to be used for new cases can be obtained from the clustering. This concept has been demonstrated with examples from experimental data.

description: We present results of an ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy study of artificially synthesized poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA molecules on $p$-type Si substrates. For comparison, we also present the electronic density of states (DOS) calculated using an \emph{ab initio} tight-binding method based on density-functional theory (DFT). Good agreement was obtained between experiment and theory. The spectra of DNA networks on the Si substrate showed that the Fermi level of the substrate is located in the middle of the band gap of DNA. The spectra of thick ($\sim 70$ nm) DNA films showed a downward shift of $\sim 2$ eV compared to the network samples.

title: Enshrouded Exoplanetary Systems
Creators: name: Staab, Daniel

description: This thesis is based on the hypothesis that stars hosting short period planets can show anomalously low apparent stellar activity values caused by planetary mass-loss enshrouding the system. The resulting circumstellar absorption depresses the cores of the Ca II H&K lines, where the activity index log(R'HK) is measured. I searched for this effect in a sample of ∼2700 stars, identifying 39 objects with log(R'HK) below the main sequence basal limit, and 6 Hyades and Pleiades stars with activity levels well below the cluster distributions. I describe a radial velocity programme to search for short period planets orbiting these stars. Because nearby bright stars are targeted, their mass-losing companions will offer key opportunities to probe planetary composition through transmission spectroscopy. I present four planet candidates discovered through this programme orbiting HD11231 and HD38677. The former is a γ-Doradus pulsator hosting a Saturn-mass planet in a 6 day orbit, and the latter is a compact system containing planets with ∼18, 13 and 3 Earth masses and periods between 20 and 1.7 days.

 In addition, the Robert Stobie Spectrograph was calibrated to measure log(R'HK) values. The activity index of the known Hot Jupiter hosts WASP-43, WASP-51/HAT-P-30, WASP-72 & WASP-103 was measured to search for anomalous values caused by the companions. The activity level of WASP-43 is extremely high in absolute terms and relative to its age and X-ray emission. The activity of WASP-103 is marginally higher than expected from the system age. In both cases, star-planet interactions may enhance Ca II H & K emission. WASP-51/HAT-P-30 and WASP-72 show anomalously low activity; the latter falls below the basal envelopes of main sequence and evolved stars. I highlight that a quarter of transiting, short period planets hosts with published activity data exhibit anomalously low activity. These 22 systems include Hot Jupiters and low mass companions.

description: In this article, we report the temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates at two Pt sites and one Si site in CePt3Si with a non-centrosymmetric structure center. 1/T1 for both Pt sites between 2 K and 300 K and 1/T1 of Si above 3 K might be explained by the contributions from the low-lying crystal-electric-field level and the quasiparticle due to the hybridization between the ground state and conduction electrons. Just below Tc no remarkable enhancement in 1/T1 was observed. The estimated value of superconducting gap is about 2Delta = 3kBTc.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the modulational instability of the zone-boundary mode for one and higher-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattices. Following this instability, a process of relaxation to equipartition takes place, which we have called the Anti-FPU problem because the energy is initially fed into the highest frequency part of the spectrum, at variance with the original FPU problem (low frequency excitations of the lattice). This process leads to the formation of chaotic breathers in both one and two dimensions. Finally, the system relaxes to energy equipartition on time scales which increase as the energy density is decreased. We show that breathers formed when cooling the lattice at the edges, starting from a random initial state, bear strong qualitative similarities with chaotic breathers.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The paper presents an analysis of investment activity in Biała Podlaska in 2008-2015 and evaluation of this activity by the local community. Main directions of investments, including funds from the European Union have been presented. Materials and methods: The paper has been prepared on the basis of the literature, programming documents of the city and own research based on the sample of 100 residents. Descriptive method, statistical analysis and graphical presentation of the results of research have been used. Results: The paper has confirmed that investments are a key factor in the development of every city and the use of this factor by means of the inflow of funds from the outside depends on the attractiveness of the city and the surrounding region and activity of the municipalities. The city of Biała Podlaska has undergone a deep restructuring and changed in the functional structure. Investments have been integrated into strategic and operational development objectives of the city. The level of investment in Biała Podlaska puts the city at the forefront of towns in the Lublin region and ensures stability of development. Conclusions: The research has confirmed the role of investments in urban development and the role of European funds in the investment process. In addition to the cognitive results the research has revealed the need to develop marketing activities and coordination, providing the possibility of better use of resources and geographical position to re-industrialization of the economy. The support of local authorities is needed to develop academic, industrial, transportation and logistics functions.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The deliberations undertaken within the article concern identification of the phenomenon of businesses indebtedness in the Polish reality, inseparably linked with the economic security of companies in the contemporary market environment. The aim of this study is to show the interactions occurring between the phenomenon of indebtedness and data on bankruptcy of businesses in Poland, and their interpretation. Materials and methods: The work was elaborated based on the analysis and synthesis of subject literature, statistical data, analysts’ opinions, as well as on research and the author’s own considerations. Results: Discussion on the interdisciplinary approach of the concept of economic security, and the irreversible consequences of its incompetent management. Lead to reflections on the creditor–debtor relations. It shows a change in the mentality and in actions of Polish debtor over the last 20 years; its consequences for companies in the form of bankruptcy/insolvency, and proposals for improvements introduced by the State–level regulations. Conclusion: Regardless of the business in which the company operates, the imposing of uncollected debts on a creditor may threaten their and related entities’ existence. Researches indicate a need for the amendment to restructuring and insolvency law.

description: A conducting bridge of a single hydrogen molecule between Pt electrodes is formed in a break junction experiment. It has a conductance near the quantum unit, G_0 = 2e^2/h, carried by a single channel. Using point contact spectroscopy three vibration modes are observed and their variation upon stretching and isotope substitution is obtained. The interpretation of the experiment in terms of a Pt-H_2-Pt bridge is verified by Density Functional Theory calculations for the stability, vibrational modes, and conductance of the structure.

title: Citizen Outsiders: How the Struggles of Romanian Roma in London Challenge the Conception of Citizenship
Creators: name: Solf, Juliane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: Conventionally citizenship has been understood as membership in nation states requiring certain rights and providing certain entitlements. Over the last twenty years, critical perspectives asserted that citizenship is not merely membership, let alone membership of a state. It is now argued that historically and theoretically citizenship involves a distinction between an outside and inside and often its boundaries become the sites of social struggle. Critical perspectives on citizenship invite us to think of citizenship as processes by which political subjectivity, understood as the right to make claims to rights, can be recognised and enacted. As these perspectives allow us to think critically about citizenship beyond membership and the nation state, in this thesis I focus first on the mechanism related to the logic of citizenship that dismisses political agency of those who do not count as political subjects and makes them into what I refer to as ‘citizen outsiders’. Second, I draw on critical perspectives on citizenship and ethnographic methods to examine how Romanian Roma in an East London borough, who are discursively constituted as lacking capacities to act as citizens, contest the ways they are problematised. By focusing on their everyday life struggles as acts of citizenship, I argue that Roma in London do make claims to rights and, in doing so, enact themselves as citizens. Finally I draw conclusions about the ways Roma are problematised and how Roma disrupt these positioning with various acts of citizenship.
