description: Spectral dimensionality reduction is frequently used to identify low-dimensional structure in high-dimensional data. However, learning manifolds, especially from the streaming data, is computationally and memory expensive. In this paper, we argue that a stable manifold can be learned using only a fraction of the stream, and the remaining stream can be mapped to the manifold in a significantly less costly manner. Identifying the transition point at which the manifold is stable is the key step. We present error metrics that allow us to identify the transition point for a given stream by quantitatively assessing the quality of a manifold learned using Isomap. We further propose an efficient mapping algorithm, called S-Isomap, that can be used to map new samples onto the stable manifold. We describe experiments on a variety of data sets that show that the proposed approach is computationally efficient without sacrificing accuracy.
title: Understanding the role of evidence in e-cigarette regulation and policy development
Creators: name: Smith, Marissa Johan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Background: Public health recommendations should be informed by the best available evidence. E-cigarette policy has varied across jurisdictions, contrasting with the previous coordinated approach of international tobacco control communities. An understanding of such divergence may help inform future public health policy. Using e-cigarettes as a case study, this thesis examines the role and use of evidence in the development of public health recommendations. Methods: This multi-methods case study focused on e-cigarette recommendations from the WHO, UK, Australia, and USA; and comprised: a document analysis of recommendations; a citation network analysis of the evidence cited and their conflicts of interest (COI); an analysis of the guideline development documents which described the processes for developing recommendations, including managing COI; expert interviews with individuals involved in developing recommendations; and triangulation across these data sources. Results: Analysis of public health recommendations showed that different jurisdictions supported different e-cigarette policy approaches, with the UK following a ‘harm reduction’ approach, while the WHO, Australia, and USA followed a more ‘precautionary’ approach. Analysing the evidence cited by the recommendation documents revealed that substantial COI, such as pre-existing relationships between the e-cigarette and tobacco industries, were present within the cited evidence. Examination of the processes for collecting and managing COI, illustrated variation across public health bodies, often with a lack of transparency. Triangulating across the data demonstrated the myriad contextual factors (e.g., previous and current tobacco policies) influencing the role and use of evidence in the development of e-cigarette recommendations. I highlight how internal contextual factors (e.g., the remit of the document) were often influenced by external contextual factors (e.g., epidemiological features of smoking and vaping) and interact in subtle ways to frame the focus of recommendations and the evidence underpinning them. Conclusion: Contextual factors are crucial in understanding divergence in e-cigarette recommendations across jurisdictions, with similar evidence used by public health bodies internationally. COI are common in the evidence base and a lack of standardisation in managing COI might threaten evidence-informed decision-making. This thesis suggests internal and external contextual factors interact and that this interplay may help explain the divergence in e-cigarette policy approaches.

description: Positive maps applied to a subsystem of a bipartite quantum state constitute a central tool in characterising entanglement. In the multipartite case, however, the direct application of a positive but not completely positive map cannot distinguish if a state is genuinely multipartite entangled or just entangled across some bipartition. We thus generalise this bipartite concept to the multipartite setting by introducing non-positive maps that are positive on the subset of bi-separable states, but can map to a non-positive element if applied to a genuine multipartite entangled state. We explicitly construct examples of multipartite non-positive maps, obtained from positive maps via a lifting procedure, that in this fashion can reveal genuine multipartite entanglement in a robust way.

Assessing the impact of increasing seawater temperature and acidity on marine organisms using ophiuroid brittlestars as an experimental model
Creators: name: WOOD, HANNAH LOUISE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2009

description: Ocean acidification is a consequence of rapidly increasing atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and, in tandem with increasing sea temperature, poses a significant threat to marine life. A series of mesocosm experiments have been conducted at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (Plymouth, UK) and the Kings Bay Marine Laboratory (Ny-Alesund, Svalbard) where ophiuroid brittlestars were used as a model to investigate the physiological response of marine organisms to ocean acidification and ocean warming. A 'whole organism' approach was adopted to elucidate the primary physiological responses, trade offs and conflicts that occurred. Three ophiuroid species of differing lifestyle and habitats were chosen to give an insight into how such factors influenced a species' response to ocean acidification and warming; the infaunal Amphiura filiformis, the epibenthic Ophiura ophiura, both temperate, and the Arctic epibenthic Ophiocten sericeum. There was a similar physiological response of metabolic upregulation across all three species. All species survived the lowest pH exposures (6.8 for A. filiformis, 7.3 for 0. ophiura and 0. sericeum) and showed signs of synergy between increasing water temperature and ocean acidification with the effects of lowered pH amplified as temperature increased. Beyond this, whilst specific responses differed between species, some similarity was observed between the epibenthic species 0. ophiura and 0. sericeum which both reduced arm regeneration and motility at lowered pH. In contrast, A. filiformis increased arm regeneration and suffered arm muscle wastage that appeared unsustainable. Differences in response and long term vulnerability to ocean acidification related to lifestyle (infaunal versus epibenthic) were consolidated by the Energy Limitation Model whereby the response of a species to ocean acidification is based on the increased cost of maintaining the acid-base balance of extracellular fluids. The ability to do this, and where the energy is taken from to do so, rationalises the variety of physiological responses seen between species. The results of the investigations described in this thesis indicate that even species with low regulatory capacity may survive ocean acidification. However, lifestyle may have a determining role in where energy trade offs are made to maintain acid-base balance and this may ultimately determine species survival.

description: We study the class of densely related groups. These are finitely generated (or more generally, compactly generated locally compact) groups satisfying a strong negation of being finitely presented, in the sense that new relations appear at all scales. Here, new relations means relations that do not follow from relations of smaller size. Being densely related is a quasi-isometry invariant among finitely generated groups. We check that a densely related group has none of its asymptotic cones simply connected. In particular a lacunary hyperbolic group cannot be densely related. We prove that the Grigorchuk group is densely related. We also show that a finitely generated group that is (infinite locally finite)-by-cyclic and which satisfies a law must be densely related. Given a class $\mathcal{C}$ of finitely generated groups, we consider the following dichotomy: every group in $\mathcal{C}$ is either finitely presented or densely related. We show that this holds within the class of nilpotent-by-cyclic groups and the class of metabelian groups. In contrast, this dichotomy is no longer true for the class of $3$-step solvable groups.

Black skimmer (Rynchops niger) incubation data from the Manu NP, Peru: nest temperature and annotated camera trap images (Breeding Attempt 3)
Creators: name: Martin Austad
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Site: 38km of the Manu River, within the research zone of the Cocha Cashu Biological Station (11°53'17.38"S 71°24'27.02"W, 350masl), Manu National Park, Peru 

Year: 2015

During the study period, June to September 2015, two nesting attempts by black skimmers were disrupted by floods (9th July and 10th August). These floods inundated all the beaches in the study area and caused nest failure, but black skimmers made new nesting attempts after waters receded. Therefore data is divided into three breeding attempts (A1, A2, A3). The first flash flood took place during the egg-laying stage of the first attempt (A1) and incubation data was not collected. The study therefore focussed on A2 and A3. In this dataset, data is supplied for the third breeding attempt (A3). 

Here we provide 1-min time-lapse images from eight nests, on five beaches, during incubation taken with camera traps 5m from nests. In the nest ID and folder names, N# refers to the nest number, B### refers to the beach number. B670 and B680 were initially labelled as different beaches in the beginning of the season, but when river waters receded further they merged into one continuous sandbank. 

All annotated images are uploaded, with additional images which were not annotated. The annotation file is included. Annotation was done by the author while viewing images using XN View 2.34. Users are advised to match annotation by 'NestID' and 'DateTime' with images. Due to the file naming from the camera traps, 'FileName' is not unique. 

R-script used to model incubation behaviour is included. It was run in RStudio 0.99.491- 2021.09.1 (©2009-2021 RStudio, Inc.), with R version 3.2.2 - 4.05 (R Development Core Team 2011-2021).

DS1921G Thermochron iButtons® with a recording frequency of 20 mins and an accuracy of ±1⁰C and resolution of 0.5⁰C (Maxim Integrated Products 2015) were placed in the bottom of nests, and for comparison on the beach surface. Due to the placing at the bottom of nest scrapes nest temperature should not be interpreted as incubation or egg temperature. Data from five nests and five respective beaches are included for breeding attempt A3. The R-script used to analyse this data and present it graphically is included ('TempTest3').

description: The isotropic gamma-ray background arises from the contribution of unresolved sources, including members of confirmed source classes and proposed gamma-ray emitters such as the radiation induced by dark matter annihilation and decay. Clues about the properties of the contributing sources are imprinted in the anisotropy characteristics of the gamma-ray background. We use 81 months of Pass 7 Reprocessed data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope to perform a measurement of the anisotropy angular power spectrum of the gamma-ray background. We analyze energies between 0.5 and 500 GeV, extending the range considered in the previous measurement based on 22 months of data. We also compute, for the first time, the cross-correlation angular power spectrum between different energy bins. We find that the derived angular spectra are compatible with being Poissonian, i.e. constant in multipole. Moreover, the energy dependence of the anisotropy suggests that the signal is due to two populations of sources, contributing, respectively, below and above 2 GeV. Finally, using data from state-of-the-art numerical simulations to model the dark matter distribution, we constrain the contribution from dark matter annihilation and decay in Galactic and extragalactic structures to the measured anisotropy. These constraints are competitive with those that can be derived from the average intensity of the isotropic gamma-ray background. Data are available at https://www-glast.stanford.edu/pub_data/552.

THE DISPERSAL OF CABBAGE ROOT FLY IN RELATION TO AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE
Creators: name: ALEXANDER, KIRK I.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1983

description: The study aimed to estimate the dispersal rate of wild cabbage root flies in agricultural systems, to test a migration hypothesis and the predictions of a computer simulation model. The dispersal rate was determined by a new method, from the age-grouping of wild flies instead of releasing marked culture flies. The mean distance dispersed was calculated from-the slope of density of captured flies on distance; the mean age was calculated from laboratory measurements of development at constant temperatures. A new method of male age determination was developed, based on the changes in pupal fat and testes colour. The published method of female age determination was improved to allow more rapid separation of nulliparous and parous flies. The values of the slope and intercept fitted to the-density- distance data were strongly correlated. A computer simulation demonstrated that random noise causes a progressive underestimation of the slope, as the catch decreases. The slope for gravid females reaches a limiting value of approxiamately 0.2, indicating a mean distance dispersed of 500m. A numerical integration suggests that 95% of the flies move less than 580m. There was no evidence of the female migratory phase, proposed by Finch & Skinner(1975), which was probably an artefact of the use of ANCS attractant. The dispersal rate was estimated at 49-165 m/day, compared with 29-87 m/day predicted by the simulation model. There was little evidence that dispersal alters with agricultural practice. A proportion of the first generation were found to delay emergence on one site, which may be connected with the planting of fodder brassica crops at midsummer.

description: ProbNetKAT is a probabilistic extension of NetKAT with a denotational semantics based on Markov kernels. The language is expressive enough to generate continuous distributions, which raises the question of how to compute effectively in the language. This paper gives an new characterization of ProbNetKAT's semantics using domain theory, which provides the foundation needed to build a practical implementation. We show how to use the semantics to approximate the behavior of arbitrary ProbNetKAT programs using distributions with finite support. We develop a prototype implementation and show how to use it to solve a variety of problems including characterizing the expected congestion induced by different routing schemes and reasoning probabilistically about reachability in a network.

description: Within the twistorial parametrization of Loop Quantum Gravity we investigate the consequences of choosing a spacelike normal vector in the linear simplicity constraints. The amplitudes for the $SU(2)$ boundary states of Loop Quantum Gravity, given by most of the current spinfoam models, are constructed in such a way that even in the bulk only spacelike building blocks occur. Using a spacelike normal vector in the linear simplicity constraints allows us to distinguish spacelike from timelike 2-surfaces. We propose in this paper a quantum theory that includes both spatial and temporal building blocks and hence a more complete picture of quantum spacetime. At the classical level we show how we can describe $T^{\ast}SU(1,1)$ as a symplectic quotient of 2-twistor space $\mathbb{T}^2$ by area matching and simplicity constraints. This provides us with the underlying classical phase space for $SU(1,1)$ spin networks describing timelike boundaries and their extension into the bulk. Applying a Dirac quantization we show that the reduced Hilbert space is spanned by $SU(1,1)$ spin networks and hence are able to give a quantum description of both spacelike and timelike faces. We discuss in particular the spectrum of the area operator and argue that for spacelike and timelike 2-surfaces it is discrete.

description: We report on the galaxy MACSJ0032-arc at z=3.6314 discovered during the Herschel Lensing snapshot Survey of massive galaxy clusters, and strongly lensed by the cluster MACSJ0032.1+1808. The successful detections of its rest-frame UV, optical, FIR, millimeter, and radio continua, and of its CO emission enable us to characterize, for the first time at such a high redshift, the stellar, dust, and molecular gas properties of a compact star-forming galaxy with a size smaller than 2.5 kpc, a fairly low stellar mass of 4.8x10^9 Msun, and a moderate IR luminosity of 4.8x10^11 Lsun. We find that the bulk of the molecular gas mass and star formation seems to be spatially decoupled from the rest-frame UV emission. About 90% of the total star formation rate is undetected at rest-frame UV wavelengths because of severe obscuration by dust, but is seen through the thermal FIR dust emission and the radio synchrotron radiation. The observed CO(4-3) and CO(6-5) lines demonstrate that high-J transitions, at least up to J=6, remain excited in this galaxy, whose CO spectral line energy distribution resembles that of high-redshift submm galaxies, even though the IR luminosity of MACSJ0032-arc is ten times lower. This high CO excitation is possibly due to the compactness of the galaxy. We find evidence that this high CO excitation has to be considered in the balance when estimating the CO-to-H2 conversion factor. The inferred depletion time of the molecular gas in MACSJ0032-arc supports the decrease in the gas depletion timescale of galaxies with redshift, although to a lesser degree than predicted by galaxy evolution models. Instead, the measured molecular gas fraction as high as 60-79% in MACSJ0032-arc favors the continued increase in the gas fraction of galaxies with redshift as expected, despite the plateau observed between z~1.5 and z~2.5.

First order density wave like transitions in surface doped Na$_2$IrO$_3$

description: We demonstrate that the surface of the honeycomb lattice iridate Na$_2$IrO$_3$ is extremely tunable by plasma etching. We have succeeded in turning the surface of Na$_2$IrO$_3$ metallic by Ar plasma etching which leads to the removal of Na from the surface. The surface structure does not change in this process as revealed by grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS). The sheet resistance $R_s$ can be reduced by several orders of magnitude by varying the etching duration. Temperature dependent $R_s(T)$ for the metallic samples show signatures of spin or charge density wave transitions with abrupt changes in $R_s$. Thermal hysteresis between cooling and warming measurements across the transition indicates a first order transition. For the most metallic sample $R_s(T)$ data at low temperatures follow a $T^2$ behaviour suggesting normal Fermi liquid behaviour.

description: We present an Angluin-style algorithm to learn nominal automata, which are acceptors of languages over infinite (structured) alphabets. The abstract approach we take allows us to seamlessly extend known variations of the algorithm to this new setting. In particular we can learn a subclass of nominal non-deterministic automata. An implementation using a recently developed Haskell library for nominal computation is provided for preliminary experiments.

title: Microporous Phosphorus Organic Frameworks as Macroligands for the Immobilisation of Hydroformylation Catalysts
Creators: name: Nophut, Sara Lena
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2025

description: In this work, the hydroformylation reaction of propene and octene on a novel type of catalyst consisting of a rhodium complex immobilised on a microporous phosphorus organic framework is studied. Hydroformylation, the reaction of alkenes with carbon monoxide and hydrogen to aldehydes is one of the most important homogeneously catalysed reactions on industrial scale. Although classical heterogeneous supported catalysts facilitate catalyst/product separation and catalyst recycling, they have the disadvantage of slower reaction rates and higher affinity towards side reactions compared to their homogeneous equivalents. In addition, immobilisation of molecular metal complexes typically results in unstable catalysts that are prone to metal leaching. Therefore, the key to immobilising single-site metal complexes to be active in catalytic cycles, is to find suitable support materials. Porous organic frameworks with their highly versatile compositions and structures offer great opportunities for catalyst development.

Due to the affinity of rhodium for phosphorus, a phosphine framework with permanent porosity was investigated as a macroligand to immobilise Wilkinson’s catalyst (Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl), a commonly used hydrogenation and hydroformylation catalyst. The phosphorus organic framework was synthesised in a one-step organolithium route, yielding an amorphous white solid with permanent porosity, a specific surface area of up to 660 m²g⁻¹ and an average phosphorus content of 10 wt%. Scale-up in a double- wall glass reactor, reproducibility and partial automation of the synthesis under inert conditions were investigated. The rhodium complex was immobilised on the triphenylphosphine framework by ligand exchange from solution. Frameworks and catalysts were characterised by XRF, ³¹P CP MAS NMR, ³¹P-¹H HETCOR NMR, nitrogen physisorption, SEM, TEM, XRD and CO chemisorption. Catalytic experiments were carried out in two different reactor setups. For the liquid phase hydroformylation of octene to nonanal, a batch reactor setup was used, whereas the gas phase hydroformylation of propene to butanal was carried out in a fully automated plant with a tubular reactor. The influence of various parameters such as rhodium loading, temperature, pressure, oxidation state of the framework, catalyst amount and framework synthesis conditions on the catalytic performance was investigated and compared between liquid and gas phase experiments. The experiments with the immobilised catalysts and reference experiments with the homogenous Wilkinson’s catalyst showed that the condition of the supporting frameworks has a high influence on the performance and selectivity of the catalysts.

description: We show that with suitable choices of parametrization, gauge fixing and cutoff, the anomalous variation of the effective action under global rescalings of the background metric is identical to the derivative with respect to the cutoff, i.e. to the beta functional, as defined by the exact RG equation. The Ward identity and the RG equation can be combined, resulting in a modified flow equation that is manifestly invariant under global background rescalings.

description: This paper studies optimal scheduling of multiple microgrids using distributed coordination algorithms. Each microgrid is controlled by an individual agent using mixedinteger linear programming (MILP). The algorithm is designed towards a two-level microgrid community (MGC) structure, where the exchange power is adjusted several times through information communication between the upper-level agent and lower-level agents to minimize the operation cost. In the paper, an overview of the system model is first given, followed by a description of the distributed coordination algorithm in detail incorporating the mathematical modeling of the problem. A simulation study of the algorithm is performed based on a real MGC system. We found that the distributed coordination algorithm with multiple iterations can make the operation cost of the MGC system closer to the centralized result if appropriate parameter values are selected. Compared with other hierarchical energy management methods, our approach can achieve a lower cost.
