description: We present a full theoretical and experimental study of the dynamics and energy distribution of non-equilibrium quasiparticles in superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs). STJs are often used for single-photon spectrometers, where the numbers of quasiparticles excited by a photon provide a measure of the photon energy. The magnitude and fluctuations of the signal current in STJ detectors are in large part determined by the quasiparticle dynamics and energy distribution during the detection process. We use this as motivation to study the transport and energy distribution of non-equilibrium quasiparticles excited by x-ray photons in a lateral, imaging junction configuration. We present a full numerical model for the tunneling current of the major physical processes which determine the signal. We find that a diffusion framework models the quasiparticle dynamics well and that excited quasiparticles do not equilibrate to the lattice temperature during the timescales for tunneling. We extract physical timescales from the measured data, make comparisons with existing theories, and comment on implications for superconducting mesoscopic systems and single-photon detectors.

title: Programming choices and national culture: The repertoires and canons of French and British Symphony Orchestras (1967-2019)
Creators: name: Bols, Ingrid
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: symphony orchestras, canons, repertoires, France, Britain.

description: This thesis provides the first contemporary analysis of orchestral programming in Britain and in France, highlighting stable trends and transformations within concert canons over the past five decades. It presents the first sustained international comparison of contemporary orchestral canons and challenges the universalist approach of the Western musical canon. It examines the national differences between concert canons of French and British symphony orchestras from the mid-1960s onwards, based on four main case examples: the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Paris Orchestra and Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra. The main results show that canons do not only differ based on the old concept of national preference for local repertoire (developed by Vaughan Williams among others) but present more complex canonisation processes which impact foreign repertoire too. This thesis shows the significance of the original context of integration of a repertoire on its persistence in the canon, such as the early-twentieth-century critics using landscape metaphors for Nordic music (Sibelius, Nielsen), the Cold war for twentieth-century Russian music (Prokofiev, Shostakovich) and the tastes of intellectual circles for Second Viennese School music (Schoenberg, Berg, Webern). Furthermore, the research shows that, in addition to different proportions of certain repertoires in orchestral seasons, programming practices such as the pairing of different pieces for the same concert and its presentation to the audience significantly vary. Finally, the role of orchestras within their society, based on cultural policies and deep societal trends has an impact on the repertoire considered as valuable. The case of the integration of film and video game music in concert halls illustrates the difference between French and British cultural systems.

description: Pseudonymisation provides the means to reduce the privacy impact of monitoring, auditing, intrusion detection, and data collection in general on individual subjects. Its application on data records, especially in an environment with additional constraints, like re-identification in the course of incident response, implies assumptions and privacy issues, which contradict the achievement of the desirable privacy level. Proceeding from two real-world scenarios, where personal and identifying data needs to be processed, we identify requirements as well as a system model for pseudonymisation and explicitly state the sustained privacy threats, even when pseudonymisation is applied. With this system and threat model, we derive privacy protection goals together with possible technical realisations, which are implemented and integrated into our event pseudonymisation framework PEEPLL for the context of event processing, like monitoring and auditing of user, process, and network activities. Our framework provides privacy-friendly linkability in order to maintain the possibility for automatic event correlation and evaluation, while at the same time reduces the privacy impact on individuals. Additionally, the pseudonymisation framework is evaluated in order to provide some restrained insights on the impact of assigned paradigms and all necessary new mechanisms on the performance of monitoring and auditing. With this framework, privacy provided by event pseudonymisation can be enhanced by a more rigorous commitment to the concept of personal data minimisation, especially in the context of regulatory requirements like the European General Data Protection Regulation.

description: This paper studies the class of stochastic maps, or channels, whose action (when tensored with the identity) on an entangled state always yields a separable state. Such maps have a canonical form introduced by Holevo. Such maps are called entanglement breaking, and can always be written in a canonical form introduced by Holevo. Some special classes of these maps are considered and several equivalent characterizations given. Since the set of entanglement-breaking trace-preserving maps is convex, it can be described by its extreme points. The only extreme points of the set of completely positive trace preserving maps which are also entanglement breaking are those known as classical quantum or CQ. However, for d > 2 the set of entanglement breaking maps has additional extreme points which are not extreme CQ maps.
description: This paper extends the results in section 3 of quant-ph/0207100, and gives a counter-example to the conjecture that all extreme points are CQ. Final version to appear in Rev. Math. Phys
title: Exploring women's narratives in Ottoman and Post-Ottoman spaces
Creators: name: Habib, Jessica Jiryis
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Ottoman, women, empowerment, culture, history.

description: This thesis explores the unique lives women lead in Ottoman and post-Ottoman spaces as represented across six different works of modern and contemporary literature. The cultural, economic, and socio-political impacts of the Ottoman Empire are central to the various lifestyles women lead across post-Ottoman societies today. Nevertheless, due to factors such as orientalism, feminism, and ongoing political affairs, the Ottoman era has not been examined from a postcolonial perspective. As such, the era’s influences on post-Ottoman cultures and in turn on women’s status are under-researched. The interest I found in creating Ottoman fiction has not yet received adequate or necessary attention from critics. On the one hand, this poses a challenge to the ideas explored in this thesis in that academic interest in this area is rather low and thus research about the Ottoman era around culture and social dynamics is also limited. Through this project, I attempt to initiate conversations around post-Ottoman women and post-Ottoman societies by studying the multiple influences of the Ottoman era historically, politically, and socially. Additionally, this project aims to shed light on the elements affecting women’s roles, their rights, and their empowerment. This analysis is done by reading and examining literary works that produce cultural experiences and deliver the private and individual conditions affecting women’s daily lives. In terms of literary works, the Ottoman Empire seems to be of great interest to authors. There are numerous popular perceptions of Ottoman spaces and of Ottoman women in particular, and these are evident across the six novels studied in this thesis. Although the worlds in these texts are fictional, in their own distinct ways these six books challenge the exotic and erotic narratives that often characterise the portrayal of Ottoman woman and spaces. In fact, some of the novels utilize this orientalist framework to challenge mainstream perception and reconstruct Ottoman women’s stories.

description: In the model where two massive scalar particles interact by the ladder exchanges of massless scalar particles (Wick-Cutkosky model), we study in light-front dynamics the contributions of different Fock sectors (with increasing number of exchanged particles) to full normalization integral and electromagnetic form factor. It turns out that two-body sector always dominates. At small coupling constant $α\ll 1$, its contribution is close to 100%. It decreases with increase of $α$. For maximal value $α=2π$, corresponding to the zero bound state mass, two-body sector contributes to the normalization integral 64%, whereas the three-body contribution is 26% and the sum of all higher contributions from four- to infinite-body sectors is 10%. Contributions to the form factor from different Fock sectors fall off faster for asymptotically large $Q^2$, when the number of particles in the Fock sectors becomes larger. So, asymptotic behavior of the form factor is determined by the two-body Fock sector.

description: The effects of cavitation on the flow around a circular-cylinder array are studied by using a molecular dynamics simulation. Cavitation significantly affects on vortex shedding characteristics. As the cavitation develops,the vibration acting on the cylinders decreases and eventually disappears. The further cavitation development generates a longer vapor region next to the cylinders, and the vortex streets are formed at further positions from the cylinders. The neighboring Karman vortexes are synchronized in the antiphase in the absence of the cavitation. This synchronization is weakened by the cavitation, and an asymmetric wake mode can be induced. These findings help mechanical designs of fluid machinery that include cylinder arrays.

description: Nano-junctions, containing atomic-scale gold contacts between strongly disordered leads, exhibit different transport properties at room temperature and at low temperature. At room temperature, the nano-junctions exhibit conductance quantization effects. At low temperatures, the contacts exhibit Coulomb-Blockade. We show that the differences between the room-temperature and low temperature properties arise from the localization of electronic states in the leads. The charging energy and capacitance of the nano-junctions exhibit strong fluctuations with applied magnetic field at low temperature, as predicted theoretically.

Islands in the Stream: Electromigration-Driven Shape Evolution with Crystal Anisotropy

description: We consider the shape evolution of two-dimensional islands on a crystal surface in the regime where mass transport is exclusively along the island edge. A directed mass current due to surface electromigration causes the island to migrate in the direction of the force. Stationary shapes in the presence of an anisotropic edge mobility can be computed analytically when the capillary effects of the line tension of the island edge are neglected, and conditions for the existence of non-singular stationary shapes can be formulated. In particular, we analyse the dependence of the direction of island migration on the relative orientation of the electric field to the crystal anisotropy, and we show that no stationary shapes exist when the number of symmetry axes is odd. The full problem including line tension is solved by time-dependent numerical integration of the sharp-interface model. In addition to stationary shapes and shape instability leading to island breakup, we also find a regime where the shape displays periodic oscillations.

Blow-up of solutions to semilinear strongly damped wave equations with different nonlinear terms in an exterior domain

description: In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem in an exterior domain for semilinear strongly damped wave equations with power nonlinear term of the derivative-type $|u_t|^q$ or the mixed-type $|u|^p+|u_t|^q$, where $p,q>1$. On one hand, employing the Banach fixed-point theorem we prove local (in time) existence of mild solutions. On the other hand, under some conditions for initial data and the exponents of power nonlinear terms, the blow-up results are derived by applying the test function method.
Classical intermittency and quantum Anderson transition

description: We investigate the quantum properties of 1D quantum systems whose classical counterpart presents intermittency. The spectral correlations are expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of an anomalous diffusion operator by using recent semiclassical techniques. For certain values of the parameters the spectral properties of our model show similarities with those of a disordered system at the Anderson transition. In Hamiltonian systems, intermittency is closely related to the presence of cantori in the classical phase space. We suggest, based on this relation, that our findings may be relevant for the description of the spectral correlations of (non-KAM) Hamiltonians with a classical phase space filled by cantori. Finally we discuss the extension of our results to higher dimensions and their relation to Anderson models with long range hopping.

We develop the two-dimensional phase analysis method which allows to identify these carriers as (i) minority holes having two-dimensional (2D) parabolic massive spectrum, (ii) majority electrons, also massive but with intermediate 2D-3D spectrum, and (iii) majority holes with 2D Dirac-like spectrum which seems to be responsible for the unusual strongly-correlated electronic phenomena in graphite.

description: We examine the thermalisation/localization trade off in an interacting and disordered Kitaev model, specifically addressing whether signatures of many-body localization can coexist with the systems topological phase. Using methods applicable to finite size systems, (e.g. the generalized one-particle density matrix, eigenstate entanglement entropy, inverse zero modes coherence length) we identify a regime of parameter space in the vicinity of the non-interacting limit where topological superconductivity survives together with a significant violation of Eigenstate-Thermalisation-Hypothesis (ETH) at finite energy-densities. We further identify an anomalous behaviour of the von Neumann entanglement entropy which can be attributed to the prethermalisation-like effects that occur due to lack of hybridization between high-energy eigenstates reflecting an approximate particle conservation law. In this regime the system tends to thermalise to a generalised Gibbs ensemble (as opposed to the grand canonical ensemble). Moderate disorder tends to drive the system towards stronger hybridization and a standard thermal ensemble, where the approximate conservation law is violated. This behaviour is cutoff by strong disorder which obstructs many body effects thus violating ETH and reducing the entanglement entropy.

description: Editor: I. Dawson This report documents the knowledge and experiences gained by the LHC experiments in running detector systems in radiation environments during 2010–2018, with a focus on the inner detector systems. During this time, the LHC machine has delivered a large fraction of the design luminosity to the experiments and the deleterious effects of radiation on detector operation are being observed and measured. It is timely to review the findings from across the experiments. Questions we aim to answer include: • Are the detector systems operating and performing as expected? • How reliable are the radiation damage models and predictions? • How accurate are the Monte Carlo simulation codes? • Have there been unexpected effects? • What mitigation strategies have been developed? A major goal of this report is to provide a reference for future upgrades and for future collider studies, summarizing the experiences and challenges in designing complex detector systems for operation in harsh radiation environments.

description: The optimal discrimination of coherent states of light with current technology is a key problem in classical and quantum communication, whose solution would enable the realization of efficient receivers for long-distance communications in free-space and optical fiber channels. In this article, we show that reinforcement learning (RL) protocols allow an agent to learn near-optimal coherent-state receivers made of passive linear optics, photodetectors and classical adaptive control. Each agent is trained and tested in real time over several runs of independent discrimination experiments and has no knowledge about the energy of the states nor the receiver setup nor the quantum-mechanical laws governing the experiments. Based exclusively on the observed photodetector outcomes, the agent adaptively chooses among a set of ~3 10^3 possible receiver setups, and obtains a reward at the end of each experiment if its guess is correct. At variance with previous applications of RL in quantum physics, the information gathered in each run is intrinsically stochastic and thus insufficient to evaluate exactly the performance of the chosen receiver. Nevertheless, we present families of agents that: (i) discover a receiver beating the best Gaussian receiver after ~3 10^2 experiments; (ii) surpass the cumulative reward of the best Gaussian receiver after ~10^3 experiments; (iii) simultaneously discover a near-optimal receiver and attain its cumulative reward after ~10^5 experiments. Our results show that RL techniques are suitable for on-line control of quantum receivers and can be employed for long-distance communications over potentially unknown channels.

description: In applications, choices of orthonormal bases in Hilbert space H may come about from the simultaneous diagonalization of some specific abelian algebra of operators. It was noticed recently that there is a certain finite set of non-commuting operators F_i, first introduced by engineers in signal processing, which helps to clarify this connection, and at the same time throws light on decomposition possibilities for wavelet packets used in pyramid algorithms. While the operators F_i were originally intended for quadrature mirror filters of signals, recent papers have shown that they are ubiquitous in a variety of modern wavelet constructions, and in particular in the selection of wavelet packets from libraries of bases. These are constructions which make a selection of a basis with the best frequency concentration in signal or data-compression problems. While the algebra A generated by the F_i-system is non-abelian, and goes under the name "Cuntz algebra" in C*-algebra theory, each of its representations contains a canonical maximal abelian subalgebra, i.e., the subalgebra is some C(X) for a Gelfand space X. A given representation of A, restricted to C(X), naturally induces a projection-valued measure on X, and each vector in H induces a scalar-valued measure on X. We prove a structure theorem for certain classes of induced scalar measures. In the applications, X may be the unit interval, or a Cantor set; or it may be an affine fractal, or even one of the more general iteration limits involving iterated function systems consisting of conformal maps.

description: We present a hypothesis that the anomaly in the folding angle distribution of electron-positron pairs, emitted in the decay of the excited levels of nucleus $^{8}$Be and $^{4}$He can be related to the cluster structure of the decaying state. Furthermore, we present a hypothesis that the potentially observed boson with re st mass $m_{X}$=17 MeV can mediate the nucleon-nucleon interaction at the low-energy regime of QCD, in particular in the weakly bound cluster state p+$^{7}$Li,$^{3}$H. We present a possible equations of state of symmetric nuclear matter corresponding to the vector meson mass $m_{v}$=17 MeV, obtained using relativistic mean field theory of nuclear force, QHD-I in particular, with physically relevant incompessibility K$_{0}$=240-260 MeV and the values of couplings $g_{v}$, $g_{s}$ lower than unity. Based on concepts of chiral symmetry breaking, we show that reduction of the rest mass of pseudoscalar particle from physical value $m_π$=135 MeV to $m_{X}$=17 MeV is equivalent to reduction of the quark mass from dynamical value around 310 MeV down to current quark mass around 5 MeV ($\frac{m_{X}^2} {m_{q,curr}} \simeq \frac{m_π^2} {m_{q,dyn}}$). Corresponding version of Goldberger-Treiman relation leads to the value of coupling close to the results from relativistic mean field theory of nuclear force. Both model approaches thus point towards apparent restoration of chiral symmetry in nucleon-nucleon interaction at large distances, possibly via bounce into false instanton vacuum. Observation of boson with rest mass $m_{X}$=17 MeV in the decay of high lying excited states of $^{8}$Be and $^{4}$He can possibly resolve one of the longest lasting open questions in nuclear physics.

description: Social media data has been increasingly used to study biomedical and health-related phenomena. From cohort level discussions of a condition to planetary level analyses of sentiment, social media has provided scientists with unprecedented amounts of data to study human behavior and response associated with a variety of health conditions and medical treatments. Here we review recent work in mining social media for biomedical, epidemiological, and social phenomena information relevant to the multilevel complexity of human health. We pay particular attention to topics where social media data analysis has shown the most progress, including pharmacovigilance, sentiment analysis especially for mental health, and other areas. We also discuss a variety of innovative uses of social media data for health-related applications and important limitations in social media data access and use.

description: Topological defects embedded in or combined with domain walls have been proposed in various systems, some of which are referred to as domain wall skyrmions or domain wall bimerons. However, the experimental observation of such topological defects remains an ongoing challenge. Here, using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, we report the experimental discovery of domain wall bimerons in chiral magnet Co-Zn-Mn(110) thin films. By applying a magnetic field, multidomain structures develop, and simultaneously, chained and isolated bimerons arise as the localized state between the domains with the opposite in-plane components of net magnetization. The multidomain formation is attributed to magnetic anisotropy and dipolar interaction, and domain wall bimerons are stabilized by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. In addition, micromagnetic simulations show that domain wall bimerons appear for a wide range of conditions in chiral magnets with cubic magnetic anisotropy. Our results promote further study in various fields of physics.

description: Ruijsenaars-Schneider models associated with $A_{n-1}$ root system with a discrete coupling constant are studied. The eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian are givein in terms of the Bethe ansatz formulas. Taking the "non-relativistic" limit, we obtain the spectrum of the corresponding Calogero-Moser systems in the third formulas of Felder et al [20].

Self-affine surface morphology of plastically deformed metals

description: We analyze the surface morphology of metals after plastic deformation over a range of scales from 10 nm to 2 mm, using a combination of atomic force microscopy and scanning white-light interferometry. We demonstrate that an initially smooth surface during deformation develops self-affine roughness over almost four orders of magnitude in scale. The Hurst exponent $H$ of one-dimensional surface profiles is initially found to decrease with increasing strain and then stabilizes at $H \approx 0.75$. By analyzing their statistical properties we show that the one-dimensional surface profiles can be mathematically modelled as graphs of a fractional Brownian motion. Our findings can be understood in terms of a fractal distribution of plastic strain within the deformed samples.

description: Objective. To explore whether maternal sensitivity is associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) severity in children with and without ASD. Design. The samples consisted of 25 Mexican dyads of children with ASD (aged 3.1-6.9 years) and their mothers (aged 20-47 years) and 24 Mexican dyads of children without ASD (aged 3.4-6.7 years) and their mothers (aged 24-45 years). Maternal sensitivity and ASD severity symptoms were scored from 2-h videos of mother-child daily interactions. Results. A between-group comparison showed a trend toward less severe ASD in children with highly sensitive mothers, specifically in the Nonverbal Communication subdomain. Conclusions. Greater maternal sensitivity is associated with improved social ability in children with ASD.
