title: Investigating evolutionary hypotheses of cancer cell motility
Creators: name: Wass, Anastasia
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: Cancer is a disease of evolution. Mutations within a cell lead to the acquisition of cancerous phenotypes. Tumour evolution depends on heritable differences between cells. The extent of heritable variation has not been measured for any trait in cancer cellpopulations. In this thesis techniques have been developed to estimate the broad-sense heritability (H2) of cancer cell traits in vitroand usedto estimate the H2of cell motility. Cell motility is a trait related to the cancer hallmark of metastasis. Results showthat motility is strongly heritable with H2values ranging from 0.77-0.36 across multiple cell generations. H2estimates appeared to decrease slightly between more distantly related cells, a trend that could occur due to a decrease in the genetic contribution to motility or an increase in environmental variation. This was tested by treating cells with epigenetic inhibitors and obtaining H2 estimates.Results showed H2estimates were not significantly affected by the application of epigenetic inhibitorswith values ranging from 0.95-0.18.Quantification of the amount of environmental variation in in vitrocell culture media was attempted using image analysis of fluorescent particles. Variation in particle distribution was found at a range of concentrations, nM –mM. Direct quantitative measures of evolvability in cell traits could have valuable applications to cancer research and tumour treatment.To understand tumour progression, evolutionary theory can be applied to cancer cells in vitroto elucidate the selective pressures driving the evolution of cancer cell traits. In this project experimental evolution techniques have been adapted from microbiology and applied to cancer cell linesin vitro. Adaptation of cell lines to lownutrient environments over 12 weeks showed dispersal theory may play a role in the selection of the cancer cell trait motility. Understanding the selective pressures driving the acquisition of cancer phenotypes will have valuable applications clinically inunderstandingtumour progression.

description: The ground state of the S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferomagnet on kagome can be viewed as a collection of fermionic spinons bound into small, heavy singlet pairs. Low-energy magnetic excitations in this system correspond to breaking the pairs into individual spinons.

Gravest Empirical Mode to be used by Inverted Echo Sounders in order to determine the zonal flows in the south Atlantic
Creators: name: Mosquera, Ángela

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Four Pressure-equipped Inverted Echo Sounders (PIES) were deployed at about 10°W, between 19 and 35°S, in the South Atlantic Gateway (SAGA), in order to determine the zonal flows in the South Atlantic. Those PIES will allow to observe the circulation of two water masses, the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) and the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), that flow in opposite directions across the South Atlantic, between Cape town and Brazil, through the SAGA. The measurements from the PIES, together with historical hydrographic data, permit to estimate the profiles of temperature and salinity of the water column, and therefore the density. Using the thermal-wind equation, it is also possible to retrieve the geostrophic velocity from an array of PIES. In order to get those estimations of temperature and salinity, it is necessary to determine the Gravest Empirical Mode (GEM), a relationship between the acoustic travel time observed by the PIES and the historical observations of salinity and temperature in the study area. In this work, we will show the GEM estimated for the SAGA, calculated using historical hydrographic data from CTDs and Argo Float, as well as the estimations of the error in the geostrophic transport.
Background check for anomalous like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry

description: The D0 Collaboration has reported an excess of roughly one percent of $μ^- μ^-$ pairs over $μ^+ μ^+$ pairs in $\bar p p$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ GeV at the Fermilab Tevatron, when known backgrounds are subtracted. This excess, if ascribed to CP violation in meson-antimeson mixing of non-strange or strange neutral $B$ mesons, is about 40 times that expected in the Standard Model (SM). We propose a null test, based on a tight restriction on the muon impact parameter $b$, to confirm that this excess is indeed due to $B$ mesons. If the asymmetry is due to anomalous CP violation in $B_s$-$\bar B_s$ mixing then a tight restriction on $b$ would increase by a factor two the net asymmetry from neutral $B$ mixing, while the sample of dimuons from neutral $B$ decays will be reduced significantly relative to background events.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance discoverability and impact in a research context. The use of AI platforms, which are now broadly available, is significantly improving the findability of (open) research objects, for example by linking journal articles to the evidence behind them. These technologies are paving the way for more efficient search functionality, precise categorisation and intuitive recommendation systems.

Beyond discoverability, AI is showing great potential in amplifying the impact of open research. Through AI-driven citation tracking, we can monitor how research is disseminated and referenced across various platforms, providing valuable insights into its influence. Additionally, automated summaries generated by AI can distil complex research findings into accessible content, broadening the reach to non-specialist audiences and thus enhancing opportunities for societal impact.

The integration of AI in the research process is not a mere conjecture but a reality, evidenced by numerous successful projects and platforms worldwide. By sharing real-world examples, I will aim to inspire and guide the audience in leveraging AI for their work. These case studies not only highlight the triumphs but also the lessons learned, offering a balanced view of AI's role in (open) research: while AI's promise is undeniable, it is important to navigate its use with an awareness of the ethical implications and potential challenges. Issues such as data privacy, bias in AI algorithms, and the digital divide in access to advanced technologies require careful consideration.

description: Quantum computers are getting larger and larger, but device fidelities may not be able to keep up with the increase in qubit numbers. One way to make use of a large device that has a limited gate depth is to run many small circuits simultaneously. In this paper we detail our investigations into running circuits in parallel on the Rigetti Aspen-M-1 device. We run two-qubit circuits in parallel to solve a simple instance of the Hubbard model using the variational quantum eigensolver. We present results for running up to 33 circuits in parallel (66 qubits), showing that with the use of error mitigation techniques it is possible to make use of, and gain a real-time speedup from, parallelisation on current quantum hardware. We obtain a speedup by $18\times$ for exploring the VQE energy landscape, and by more than $8\times$ for running VQE optimisation.

description: Large Language Models have demonstrated remarkable few-shot performance, but the performance can be sensitive to the selection of few-shot instances. We propose PATRON, a new method that uses prompt-based uncertainty estimation for data selection for pre-trained language model fine-tuning under cold-start scenarios, i.e., no initial labeled data are available. In PATRON, we design (1) a prompt-based uncertainty propagation approach to estimate the importance of data points and (2) a partition-then-rewrite (PTR) strategy to promote sample diversity when querying for annotations. Experiments on six text classification datasets show that PATRON outperforms the strongest cold-start data selection baselines by up to 6.9%. Besides, with 128 labels only, PATRON achieves 91.0% and 92.1% of the fully supervised performance based on vanilla fine-tuning and prompt-based learning respectively. Our implementation of PATRON is available at \url{https://github.com/yueyu1030/Patron}.

They are extremely narrow because their strong decays violate the isospin symmetry. We study the possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of excited charm strange mesons. As a byproduct, we also present the numerical results for the bottonium-like analogue.

description: This article reviews basic construction and cosmological implications of a power-counting renormalizable theory of gravitation recently proposed by Horava. We explain that (i) at low energy this theory does not exactly recover general relativity but instead mimic general relativity plus dark matter; that (ii) higher spatial curvature terms allow bouncing and cyclic universes as regular solutions; and that (iii) the anisotropic scaling with the dynamical critical exponent z=3 solves the horizon problem and leads to scale-invariant cosmological perturbations even without inflation. We also comment on issues related to an extra scalar degree of freedom called scalar graviton. In particular, for spherically-symmetric, static, vacuum configurations we prove non-perturbative continuity of the lambda->1+0 limit, where lambda is a parameter in the kinetic action and general relativity has the value lambda=1. We also derive the condition under which linear instability of the scalar graviton does not show up.

title: Development of N,N’-diacetylchitobiose as coating containing antimicrobial agent for ready-to-eat food product
Creators: name: Zainal Abidin, Munira Binti
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: N,N’-diacetylchitobiose (GlcNAc2) is known to be highly functional, soluble in water and offers a wide range of applications, especially as an antimicrobial agent. In this study, we aim to explore the use of thermal pre-treatment on chitin, prior hydrolysis to produce GlcNAc2. The compound has been assessed for its antimicrobial activity against food pathogenic strains, as well as its effectiveness as an antimicrobial coating on ready-to-eat (RTE) cooked shrimp. A thermal pre-treatment process using an autoclave, has been employed to facilitate subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin with chitinase from Streptomyces griseus. Pre-treatment of chitin with 0.05 M sodium acetate buffer (pH=6.0) at 121 ºC for 60 min, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis involving 24 h incubation, were found to be the best conditions for producing GlcNAc2. The GlcNAc2 obtained was tested for its antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains and showed minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) at 5 and 10% w/v against Escherichia coli K-12 and Listeria monocytogenes 10403S, respectively. The inhibitory effect of 1% (w/v) GlcNAc2 used as antimicrobial coating on RTE cooked shrimp was studied at 4 ᵒC for 16 days. In addition, the quality of the shrimp meat was also determined. The results indicated that the GlcNAc2 coating retarded the changes in texture properties, TBARS values and moisture content of the RTE shrimp during storage. The incorporation of GlcNAc2 coating did not significantly change the shrimp colour in comparison with the control. However, the growth of L. monocytogenes inoculated on the GlcNAc2-coated RTE shrimp was slower than control sample, and the highest log reduction observed was 0.5 log CFU/mL. This study shows that autoclaving of chitin facilitates subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis to form a mixture dominating in GlcNAc2, which possesses antimicrobial activity that is able to inhibit food pathogenic strains and maintain the quality of ready-to-eat shrimp during refrigerated storage.

description: We study the dynamics of domain wall solitons in $(2+1)d$ field theories. These objects are extended along one of the spatial directions, so they also behave as strings; hence the name of domain wall strings. We show analytically and numerically that the amount of radiation from the propagation of wiggles on these objects is negligible except for regions of high curvature. Therefore, at low curvatures, the domain wall strings behave exactly as the Nambu-Goto action predicts. We show this explicitly with the use of several different numerical experiments of the evolution of these objects in a lattice. We then explore their dynamics in the presence of internal mode excitations. We do this again by performing field theory simulations and identify an effective action that captures the relevant interactions between the different degrees of freedom living on the string. We uncover a new parametric resonance instability that transfers energy from the internal mode to the position of the domain wall. We show that this instability accelerates the radiation of the internal mode energy. We also explore the possibility of exciting the internal mode of the soliton with the collision of wiggles on the domain wall. Our numerical experiments indicate that this does not happen unless the wiggles have already a wavelength of the order of the string thickness. Finally, we comment on the possible relevance of our findings to cosmological networks of defects. We argue that our results cast some doubts on the significance of the internal modes in cosmological applications beyond a brief transient period right after their formation. This, however, should be further investigated using cosmological simulations of our model.

title: Moving Horizon State Estimation for a PEM Fuel Cell System based on Successive Linearisation

Subjects: subject: Moving horizon estimation (MHE)
subject: successive linearisation
subject: fuel cell

description: Due to the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources,the fuel cell has become the focus of science once again. If the fuel cell is operated with green hydrogen, it represents an entirely CO2-neutral alternative to conventional energy generation methods. A major challenge in the operation of the fuel cell is that it issensitive to certain conditions and disturbances. In order to ensure efficient and reliable operation of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), the condition of thefuel cell has to be monitored. Since the relevant internal states cannot be measured, they can be reconstructed, however, with the help of state observers. This thesis deals with developing and implementing a moving horizon estimator (MHE) for a PEM fuel cellmodel. First, a zero-dimensional model of the fuel cell is developed, which contains the main effects and represents the basic system behaviour. Subsequently, a formulation ofthe MHE is derived based on successive linearisation, which enables an implementation of the observer concept with common quadratic solvers. The validation of the state estimation method is carried out on the PEM fuel cell model and the 3-tank model,which are both nonlinear systems. Finally, various properties of the MHE are analysedin more detail, and the observer is compared with an extended Kalman filter (EKF).The simulation results show that the MHE can observe the states with satisfactory accuracy based on successive linearisation on both systems. The investigations further show that the derived formulation of the observer is sufficiently accurate and that the MHE can be used to reconstruct the initial state in the case of a poor initial estimationas well. The derived MHE convinces with its convergence properties and the beneficialmatrix based formulation.
title: Bin it or bite it? An investigation into British and Thai consumer plate waste behaviour
Creators: name: Pinpart, Ponjan
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: To tackle a problem of food waste (FW), a better understanding of consumer food waste (CFW) behaviour is essential. This thesis aims to investigate CFW behaviour in meal settings by comparing British and Thai consumers with the focus on their decision to save leftover food. This thesis highlights five key factors; commensality, place of dining, food price, the amount of leftover food, and future meal planning. The research is based on three projects. First, we conducted in-depth interviews with 20 Thai food service providers to gain an understanding of the CFW situation in Thailand. Results from this study show that consumers left food uneaten in a restaurant due to demographic factors, food satisfaction, over-ordering, hunger status, and food safety concerns. However, some consumers adjusted their food (e.g. amount, taste, and ingredients added into dishes) and asked for leftovers food to be taken away to prevent plate waste. Second, an online survey provided quantitative data from 208 British participants and 209 Thai participants. The results show that cost is a significant factor affecting CFW decisions for both British and Thai consumers. While the place of dining is an important factor for the British, it is not for the Thais. The interaction effect between factors of commensality and amount of leftover has a significant effect on British consumers plate waste decision whereas it is the interaction between the commensality factor and the place of dining that significantly affect Thai consumers. Third, a qualitative method using focus group discussion technique was carried out to gain in-depth opinions and experience from consumers from both countries. The results proved that consumers tend to save more expensive food, British consumers have higher self-conscious when dining out in a restaurant and tend not to ask for a doggy bag for their leftovers but it would depend on the amount of the leftovers. Moreover, we also found a complex connection of factors affecting CFW decisions. This thesis concludes that food cost has a significant effect on all consumers whereas the place of dining only affects British consumers. The commensality is significant when being considered with the amount of food remaining for British and with the place of dining for Thai consumers. We hope to provide information for policymakers and stakeholders to solve the problems of CFW.

description: The ATLAS Inner Detector is a composite tracking system consisting of silicon pixels, silicon strips and straw tubes in a 2 T magnetic field. Its installation was completed in August 2008 and the detector took part in data- taking with single LHC beams and cosmic rays. The initial detector operation, hardware commissioning and in-situ calibrations are described. Tracking performance has been measured with 7.6 million cosmic-ray events, collected using a tracking trigger and reconstructed with modular pattern-recognition and fitting software. The intrinsic hit efficiency and tracking trigger efficiencies are close to 100%. Lorentz angle measurements for both electrons and holes, specific energy-loss calibration and transition radiation turn-on measurements have been performed. Different alignment techniques have been used to reconstruct the detector geometry. After the initial alignment, a transverse impact parameter resolution of 22.1+/-0.9 μm and a relative momentum resolution σp/p = (4.83+/-0.16) \times 10-4 GeV-1 \times pT have been measured for high momentum tracks.

Quantum Criticality of Liquid-Gas Transition in a Binary Bose Mixture

description: Quantum liquid, in the form of a self-bound droplet, is stabilized by a subtle balance between the mean-field contribution and quantum fluctuations. While a liquid-gas transition is expected when such a balance is broken, it remains elusive whether liquid-gas critical points exist in the quantum regime. Here we study the quantum criticality in a binary Bose mixture undergoing the liquid-gas transition. We show that, beyond a narrow stability window of the self-bound liquid, a liquid-gas coexistence persists, which eventually transits into a homogeneous mixture. Importantly, we identify two distinct critical points where the liquid-gas coexistence terminates. These critical points are characterized by rich critical behaviors in their vicinity, including divergent susceptibility, unique phonon-mode softening, and enhanced density correlations. The liquid-gas transition and the critical points can be readily explored in ultracold atoms confined to a box potential. Our work highlights the thermodynamic approach as a powerful tool in revealing the quantum liquid-gas criticality, and paves the way for further studies of critical phenomena in quantum liquids.

'All the feels’ – exploring educators’ embodied experiences of sex education
Creators: name: Hare, Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: It is well established that comprehensive sexual health education (SHE) in Canada is inconsistent and reflects a range of content, learning outcomes, and adherences to pedagogical best practices. To better understand why, in this dissertation I examined how SHE is known, lived, and produced through sexual health educators’ bodies, as well as the corresponding implications for pedagogy and practice. Inquiry of this nature has a heightened importance because sex educators remain curiously understudied in Canada, with no other known studies addressing their embodied experiences. I first situated myself in the research project by distilling the theoretical, methodological, and contextual gaps in relevant scholarship. I then created a custom ‘felt-sense’ theoretical lens for interpreting sexual health educators’ phenomenological experiences via arts-based processes. I next employed principles of sensory ethnography as I took part in a community-based sexual health educator training program alongside fellow novice sex educators in Vancouver, Canada. Working with five focal novice educators, I employed a range of qualitative and arts-based methods to contribute a nuanced account of each educator’s embodied experiences of learning to teach SHE, including my own. As part of this, I interrogated the social conditions interconnecting with educators’ embodied conditions to consider ways that the collective (re)production of meanings may counter the varied anti-oppressive aims of SHE. The findings of this study are organized around three primary felt-sense experiences: Interchange, Intensification, and Interruption. Through all three experiences, I found that the educators learn and teach in a context of ever-shifting knowledge, realities, and priorities. Multiple intersubjectivities and ways of being exist alongside each other, coming to the forefront of pedagogical practice as needed and desired. Educators’ selves were in ongoing, sometimes paradoxical, dialogue with situational demands and logistics, as well as with intersubjectivities and memories. Considering the influences of trauma, misogyny and racial hegemony on SHE, educators’ reflexivity and ongoing growth are crucial. Mirroring the educators’ dedication to being multifaceted and inclusive professionals in face of the demanding nature of SHE, I conclude by carving out a space and offering suggestions for how embodied experiences may be helpfully conceptualized and operationalized within future pedagogical practices.
title: Three essays in competitive strategy: changing market structures and implications for intraIndustry differential firm performance
Creators: name: Schmalz, Johannes Konstantin
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: The present dissertation examines the relations between two contemporary strategy concepts––dynamic capabilities & business models––and emerging facts on firmheterogeneity, thereby directing attention to the increasing importance of firm size in performance. The macro market power literature has offered an immense service by revealing substantial increases in performance differences between firms, even within narrowly defined industries. A viable candidate explanation emphasised in the received literature is that many industries appear to have become “winner take most/all” due to globalisation and new technologies and that, therefore, a relatively small number of “superstar firms” is gaining market share across a wide range of markets. This would imply that national, niche producers are increasingly likely to lose market share to more productive, global mass producers. In chapter one, I address this issue by developing a conceptual framework that delineates how firm structure, market structure, and productivity interact, especially when there is a shift in the nature of competition toward winner take most/all. The framework suggests that business model designers may increasingly need to maximise their activity system’s sensitivity to the type of scale in which they have the greatest advantage over their competitors. In chapter two, I study empirically how changing demand and technology fundamentals shift the nature of competition toward winner take most in the financial services sector. The key insight is that the dynamic capability to seize potentially profitable opportunities attaches to the scale adjustment process, thus, revealing a connection between dynamic capability and firm scale. In the third chapter, I induct a unique dynamic capability, termed “optionality”, by which high market share firms can hedge their commanding positions against various environmental contingencies.

description: Boosting combines weak learners into a predictor with low empirical risk. Its dual constructs a high entropy distribution upon which weak learners and training labels are uncorrelated. This manuscript studies this primal-dual relationship under a broad family of losses, including the exponential loss of AdaBoost and the logistic loss, revealing: - Weak learnability aids the whole loss family: for any ε>0, O(ln(1/ε)) iterations suffice to produce a predictor with empirical risk ε-close to the infimum; - The circumstances granting the existence of an empirical risk minimizer may be characterized in terms of the primal and dual problems, yielding a new proof of the known rate O(ln(1/ε)); - Arbitrary instances may be decomposed into the above two, granting rate O(1/ε), with a matching lower bound provided for the logistic loss.

An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation for the numerical simulation of flow patterns generated by the hydromedusa \textit{Aequorea victoria}

description: A new geometrically conservative arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation is presented for the moving boundary problems in the swirl-free cylindrical coordinates. The governing equations are multiplied with the radial distance and integrated over arbitrary moving Lagrangian-Eulerian quadrilateral elements. Therefore, the continuity and the geometric conservation equations take very simple form similar to those of the Cartesian coordinates. The continuity equation is satisfied exactly within each element and a special attention is given to satisfy the geometric conservation law (GCL) at the discrete level. The equation of motion of a deforming body is solved in addition to the Navier-Stokes equations in a fully-coupled form. The mesh deformation is achieved by solving the linear elasticity equation at each time level while avoiding remeshing in order to enhance numerical robustness. The resulting algebraic linear systems are solved using an ILU(k) preconditioned GMRES method provided by the PETSc library. The present ALE method is validated for the steady and oscillatory flow around a sphere in a cylindrical tube and applied to the investigation of the flow patterns around a free-swimming hydromedusa \textit{Aequorea victoria} (crystal jellyfish). The calculations for the hydromedusa indicate the shed of the opposite signed vortex rings very close to each other and the formation of large induced velocities along the line of interaction while the ring vortices moving away from the hydromedusa. In addition, the propulsion efficiency of the free-swimming hydromedusa is computed and its value is compared with values from the literature for several other species. The fluid dynamics video presented here shows the time variation of the instantaneous three-dimensional vorticity isosurfaces around a free-swimming hydromedusa \textit{Aequorea victoria}.

description: We report measurements of eight primary volatiles (H2O, HCN, CH4, C2H6, CH3OH, C2H2, H2CO, and NH3) and two product species (OH and NH2) in comet 103P/Hartley-2 using high dispersion infrared spectroscopy. We quantified the long- and short-term behavior of volatile release over a three-month interval that encompassed the comet's close approach to Earth, its perihelion passage, and flyby of the comet by the Deep Impact spacecraft during the EPOXI mission. We present production rates for individual species, their mixing ratios relative to water, and their spatial distributions in the coma on multiple dates. The production rates for water, ethane, HCN, and methanol vary in a manner consistent with independent measures of nucleus rotation, but mixing ratios for HCN, C2H6, & CH3OH are independent of rotational phase. Our results demonstrate that the ensemble average composition of gas released from the nucleus is well defined, and relatively constant over the three-month interval (September 18 through December 17). If individual vents vary in composition, enough diverse vents must be active simultaneously to approximate (in sum) the bulk composition of the nucleus. The released primary volatiles exhibit diverse spatial properties which favor the presence of separate polar and apolar ice phases in the nucleus, establish dust and gas release from icy clumps (and also, directly from the nucleus), and provide insights into the driver for the cyanogen (CN) polar jet. The spatial distributions of C2H6 & HCN along the near-polar jet (UT 19.5 October) and nearly orthogonal to it (UT 22.5 October) are discussed relative to the origin of CN. The ortho-para ratio (OPR) of water was 2.85 \pm 0.20; the lower bound (2.65) defines Tspin > 32 K. These values are consistent with results returned from ISO in 1997.

description: Quantum impurity models with frustrated Kondo interactions can support quantum critical points with fractionalized excitations. Recent experiments [arXiv:2108.12691] on a circuit containing two coupled metal-semiconductor islands exhibit transport signatures of such a critical point. Here we show using bosonization that the double charge-Kondo model describing the device can be mapped in the Toulouse limit to a sine-Gordon model. Its Bethe-ansatz solution shows that a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermion emerges at the critical point, characterized by a fractional $\tfrac{1}{2}\ln(3)$ residual entropy, and scattering fractional charges $e/3$. We also present full numerical renormalization group calculations for the model and show that the predicted behavior of conductance is consistent with experimental results.

description: The non-Bloch band theory can describe energy bands in a one-dimensional (1D) non-Hermitian system. On the other hand, whether the non-Bloch band theory can be extended to higher-dimensional non-Hermitian systems is nontrivial. In this work, we construct the non-Bloch band theory in two classes of two-dimensional non-Hermitian systems, by reducing the problem to that for a 1D non-Hermitian model. In these classes of systems, we get the generalized Brillouin zone for a complex wavevector and investigate topological properties. In the model of the non-Hermitian Chern insulator, as an example, we show the bulk-edge correspondence between the Chern number defined from the generalized Brillouin zone and the appearance of the edge states.
