In the existing tradition of visual culture in India, graphic novel retellings of Indian epics occupy a centre slot. Although mythological representations, beginning with the Amar Chitra Katha (1960s) through to the post-millenial Campfire adaptations of epics are a done-to-death phenomenon, their enigma propels more than ever, a fresh breed of retellings and modern avatars. One such is Amruta Patil’s Parva duology: Adi Parva and Sauptik Parva (HarperCollins India, 2012 and 2016 respectively).The proposed paper analyses (under the sub-category of metaphor and allegory in graphic narratives) the visual function of metaphors employed by the author-artist in her retelling of the Mahabharata. It would argue that the engagement of scientific metaphors within religious contexts need not necessarily be read as regressive or counter-productive to critical inquiry. Unlike the current Hindutva nationalist propaganda in India which views modern science and Vedic spiritualism as an organic whole, works such as Sauptik, quite literally, draw out inventive spaces of interplay between the scientific and the religious, constructing newer domains of knowledge. The paper intends also to suggest that the use of artistic symbolism in Patil’s mytho-graphic rendition of the epic deviates from the conventional (Western) structure of panels/gutters, adopting instead, a uniquely Indian style of visual storytelling.

description: In this study we report the synthesis of C5/C6-fused uridine phosphonates that are structurally related to earlier reported allosteric P2Y2 receptor ligands. A silyl-Hilbert-Johnson reaction of six quinazoline-2,4-(1H,3H)-dione-like base moieties with a suitable ribofuranosephosphonate afforded the desired analogues after full deprotection. In contrast to the parent 5-(4-fluoropheny)uridine phosphonate, the present extended-base uridine phosphonates essentially failed to modulate the P2Y2 receptor.

description: Recently, Zheng constructs a quantum-control-assisted multipartite variance-based uncertainty relation, which successfully extends the conditional uncertainty relation to the multipartite case [Annalen der physik, 533, 2100014 (2021)]. We here investigate the dynamics of the new uncertainty relation in the Heisenberg system with the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction. It is found that, different from entanglement, the mixedness of the system has an interesting single-valued relationship with the tightness and lower bound of the uncertainty relation. This single-valued relationship indicates that the tightness and lower bound of the uncertainty relation can be written as the functional form of the mixedness. Moreover, the single-valued relationship with the mixedness is the common nature of conditional uncertainty relations, and has no relationship with the form of the uncertainty relations. Also, the comparison between the new conditional variance-based uncertainty relation and the existing entropic one has been made.

description: In one dimension the area law for the entanglement entropy is violated maximally by the ground state of a strong inhomogeneous spin chain, the so called concentric singlet phase (CSP), that looks like a rainbow connecting the two halves of the chain. In this paper we show that, in the weak inhomogeneity limit, the rainbow state is a thermofield double of a conformal field theory with a temperature proportional to the inhomogeneity parameter. This result suggests some relation of the CSP with black holes. Finally, we propose an extension of the model to higher dimensions.

description: We present R-band CCD photometry for 776 galaxies observed in the EFAR project. The photometry is compared with photoelectric data, showing that a common zero-point good to better than 1 per cent and a precision of 0.03 mag per zero-point have been achieved. We give the circularly averaged surface brightness profiles and the photometric parameters of the 762 program galaxies, D(n) diameters, half-luminosity radii, total magnitudes, and average effective surface brightnesses. More than 80 percent of the profiles have a global S/N ratio larger than 300. The extrapolation needed to derive total magnitudes is less than 10 percent for 80 percent of the fits. More than 80 percent of the galaxies have mean effective surface brightness larger than the observed sky brightness. In 90 percent of the profiles the estimate of the contamination of the sky by the galaxy light is less than 1 percent. We derive total magnitudes and half-luminosity radii to better than 0.15 mag and 25 percent, respectively, for 90 percent of our sample. In contrast, external comparisons show that data in the literature can be strongly affected by systematic errors due to large extrapolations, small radial range, sky subtraction errors, seeing effects, and the use of a simple R exp 1/4 fit. The resulting errors can easily amount to more than 0.5 mag in the total magnitudes and 50 percent in the half-luminosity radii.

description: This study aims to establish an informational, ground to predict and measure theeffects and interaction of electromagnetic (EM)wave on living beings at GSM frequencies for biological effects on human, vegetation and animals. The simulation algorithm was written with biological parameters and measurement quantities representing different features(density, dispersion, volume, mass, etc.) of different communities. In order to survey and measure the attenuation of EM radiation due to several objects, the simulation is doneby utilising random medium of crowed as Discrete Propagation Model using realistic parameters. The assumption of analogic approach is as such: Disks are modelled as babies, thin cylinders (rod) are modelled as children, and finally thick cylinders(trunk) are assimilated to adults.
title: The Role of International Commercial Arbitration in Promoting Inward Foreign Direct Investment, Shaping Country Risk and Detecting State Opportunism
Creators: name: D'Aleo, Davide
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines how international institutions can influence and shape national institutions, and how this interaction affects and motivates investment decisions of foreign firms. It specifically considers the following: how international commercial arbitration (ICA) can affect FDI decisions by MNEs; the role of the state in defining and enforcing international agreements (ICA in this case); how this can affect investor risk; and how MNEs factor in state behaviour into their assessments of ICA regimes.

ICA’s unique features consist of: being able to select the institutional environment that will govern the contract in the event of a dispute; enforceability of the award (judgement) across borders; ability to select arbitrators (judges); and full confidentiality of the process. In order to investigate these questions, it was necessary to devise a metric that would capture the design and implementation of ICA laws across countries. The novel AFI (Arbitration Friendliness Index) metric created in this thesis allows for such questions to be answered and supported with empirical evidence by capturing the overall degree of arbitration friendliness across 54 countries, through 34 different components that capture signals towards foreign investors of arbitration openness and confirmations of these signals in practice. Through this metric it is then possible to see if countries do honour their international commitments and whether MNEs are capable of assessing and detecting such behaviour from a host country. Countries may be bound by international treaties, but there is often a significant degree of discretion in how they are implemented within a domestic legal system. This can allow countries the ability to deceive actors by engaging in “arbitral-washing”, where arbitration friendliness signals are not confirmed through their enforcement behaviour. As such, “arbitral-washing” is a direct measure of state opportunism (deception).

This thesis finds support that arbitration friendliness may increase inward FDI and may be an effective risk mitigation tool. The findings also suggest that firms may be already aware of arbitral-washing practices in higher risk countries, but not in low-risk countries.

description: The Swift AGN and Cluster Survey (SACS) uses 125 deg^2 of Swift XRT serendipitous fields with variable depths surrounding gamma-ray bursts to provide a medium depth (4e-15 erg/s/cm^2) and area survey filling the gap between deep, narrow Chandra/XMM-Newton surveys and wide, shallow ROSAT surveys. Here we present a catalog of 22,563 point sources and 442 extended sources and examine the number counts of the AGN and galaxy cluster populations. SACS provides excellent constraints on the AGN number counts at the bright end with negligible uncertainties due to cosmic variance, and these constraints are consistent with previous measurements. We use Wise mid-infrared (MIR) colors to classify the sources. For AGN we can roughly separate the point sources into MIR-red and MIR-blue AGN, finding roughly equal numbers of each type in the soft X-ray band (0.5-2 keV), but fewer MIR-blue sources in the hard X-ray band (2-8 keV). The cluster number counts, with 5% uncertainties from cosmic variance, are also consistent with previous surveys but span a much larger continuous flux range. Deep optical or IR follow-up observations of this cluster sample will significantly increase the number of higher redshift (z > 0.5) X-ray-selected clusters.

description: Noise is the defining feature of the NISQ era, but it remains unclear if noisy quantum devices are capable of quantum speedups. Quantum supremacy experiments have been a major step forward, but gaps remain between the theory behind these experiments and their actual implementations. In this work we initiate the study of the complexity of quantum random circuit sampling experiments with realistic amounts of noise. Actual quantum supremacy experiments have high levels of uncorrected noise and exponentially decaying fidelities. It is natural to ask if there is any signal of exponential complexity in these highly noisy devices. Surprisingly, we show that it remains hard to compute the output probabilities of noisy random quantum circuits without error correction. More formally, so long as the noise rate of the device is below the error detection threshold, we show it is #P-hard to compute the output probabilities of random circuits with a constant rate of noise per gate. This hardness persists even though these probabilities are exponentially close to uniform. Interestingly these hardness results also have implications for the complexity of experiments in a low-noise setting. The issue here is that prior hardness results for computing output probabilities of random circuits are not robust enough to imprecision to connect with the Stockmeyer argument for hardness of sampling from circuits with constant fidelity. We exponentially improve the robustness of prior results to imprecision, both in the cases of Random Circuit Sampling and BosonSampling. In the latter case we bring the proven hardness within a constant factor in the exponent of the robustness required for hardness of sampling for the first time. We then show that our results are in tension with one another -- the high-noise result implies the low-noise result is essentially optimal, even with generalizations of our techniques.

description: We have examined the Mg-sigma relation for early-type galaxies in the EFAR sample and its dependence on cluster properties. A comprehensive maximum likelihood treatment of the sample selection and measurement errors gives fits to the global Mg-sigma relation of Mg b^'=0.131 log sigma -0.131 and Mg_2=0.257 log sigma -0.305. The slope of these relations is 25 per cent steeper than that obtained by most other authors owing to the reduced bias of our fitting method. The intrinsic scatter in the global Mg- sigma relation is estimated to be 0.016 mag in Mg b^' and 0.023 mag in Mg_2. The Mg- sigma relation for cD galaxies has a higher zero-point than for E and S0 galaxies, implying that cDs are older and/or more metal-rich than other early-type galaxies with the same velocity dispersion. We investigate the variation in the zero-point of the Mg- sigma relation between clusters. We find that it is consistent with the number of galaxies observed per cluster and the intrinsic scatter between galaxies in the global Mg-sigma relation. We find no significant correlation between the Mg-sigma zero-point and the cluster velocity dispersion, X-ray luminosity or X-ray temperature over a wide range in cluster mass. These results provide constraints for models of the formation of elliptical galaxies. However, the Mg-sigma relation on its own does not place strong limits on systematic errors in Fundamental Plane (FP) distance estimates resulting from stellar population differences between clusters. We compare the intrinsic scatter in the Mg-sigma and Fundamental Plane relations with stellar population models in order to constrain the dispersion in ages, metallicities and M/L ratios for early-type galaxies at fixed velocity dispersion. We find that variations in age or metallicity alone cannot explain the measured intrinsic scatter in both Mg- sigma and the FP. We derive the joint constraints on the dispersion in age and metallicity implied by the scatter in the Mg-sigma and FP relations for a simple Gaussian model. We find upper limits on the dispersions in age and metallicity at fixed velocity dispersion of 32 per cent in delta t/t and 38 per cent in delta Z/Z if the variations in age and metallicity are uncorrelated; only strongly anticorrelated variations lead to significantly higher upper limits. The joint distribution of residuals from the Mg- sigma and FP relations is only marginally consistent with a model having no correlation between age and metallicity, and is better matched by a model in which age and metallicity variations are moderately anticorrelated (delta t/t ~ 40 per cent, delta Z/Z ~ 50 per cent and rho ~ -0.5), with younger galaxies being more metal-rich.

description: M dwarfs not only dominate the stellar population in the solar neighborhood but also host the majority of terrestrial planets in our galaxy. However, there is a gap in our understanding of the variation of planet occurrence rate with stellar mass, especially for stars with M<0.3 M⨀. Some studies indicate that the terrestrial planet occurrence rate peaks at the lowest-mass stars, however, pebble accretion models predict the peak yield for stars with M~0.5 M⨀ with a decreasing occurrence for lower-mass hosts. Here we determine the Earth+super-Earth occurrence rate for a magnitude-limited sample of mid-to-late-M dwarfs observed with TESS. We have developed the Exoplanet Survey & Characterization Program for Earth-like Rocky planets (EXOSCAPER) pipeline for detecting multi-planetary systems using TESS lightcurves. We present 17 new candidates & validate 35 known planetary candidates within the Earth+super-Earth range. We also investigate the precision and planet detection efficiency as a function of lightcurve cadence,using 20, 120, and 200-sec data from TESS. We compute the cumulative occurrence rate = 0.71-0.27+0.42 planets/star for a radius range of 0.2-2 R⊕ and periods between 0.1-7 days.

This paper is on the Meitei Mayek, the revived script of the Meitei community of Manipur in India's Northeast. It tries to imagine a creative story of the Meitei Mayek in the form of a graphic narrative and intertwined it with the story of paintings including illustrative arts of the Meiteis. Among others, I have used here Kshetrimayum Subadani and her book 'Illustrated Folk Tales of Manipur' published in 2010, which was one of the earliest graphic novel or narrative or comics in Meiteilon, or the language spoken by the Meiteis, to be transliterated into the Roman English script. The paper thus attempts to write a graphic narrative that traces a historical connection between the folk tales or phunga waris of the Meiteis, the script of the Meitei Mayek, and the paintings including illustrative arts of the Meiteis, as well as an imagined form of the same graphic narrative that would emerged as a result of the interaction between the oral folk form and the orthographic system of the Meiteis. The paper is divided into two parts: an introductory preface and a pictorial story of the Meitei graphic narrative. For this presentation, the prefactory part will be my oral narration visually accompanied by pages of the graphic narrative I have drawn. If time permits, I shall try to discuss at least one page of my graphic narrative.

description: We present peculiar velocities for 84 clusters of galaxies in two large volumes at distances between 6000 and 15000 km/s in the directions of Hercules-Corona Borealis and Perseus-Pisces-Cetus. These velocities are based on Fundamental Plane (FP) distance estimates for early-type galaxies in each cluster. We fit the FP using a maximum likelihood algorithm which accounts for both selection effects and measurement errors, and yields FP parameters with smaller bias and variance than other fitting procedures. We find a best-fit FP with coefficients consistent with the best existing determinations. We measure the bulk motions of the sample volumes using the 50 clusters with the best-determined peculiar velocities. We find the bulk motions in both regions are small, and consistent with zero at about the 5% level. The EFAR results are in agreement with the small bulk motions found by Dale et al. (1999) on similar scales, but are inconsistent with pure dipole motions having the large amplitudes found by Lauer & Postman (1994) and Hudson et al. (1999). The alignment of the EFAR sample with the Lauer & Postman dipole produces a strong rejection of a large-amplitude bulk motion in that direction, but the rejection of the Hudson et al. result is less certain because their dipole lies at a large angle to the main axis of the EFAR sample. We find the bulk motion of our sample is consistent with most cosmological models that approximately reproduce the shape and normalisation of the observed galaxy power spectrum. We conclude that existing measurements of large-scale bulk motions provide no significant evidence against standard models for the formation of structure.
The vertical effects of disc non-axisymmetries from perturbation theory: the case of the Galactic bar

description: Evidence for non-zero mean stellar velocities in the direction perpendicular to the Galactic plane has been accumulating from various recent large spectroscopic surveys. Previous analytical and numerical work has shown that a "breathing mode" of the Galactic disc, similar to what is observed in the Solar vicinity, can be the natural consequence of a non-axisymmetric internal perturbation of the disc. Here we provide a general analytical framework, in the context of perturbation theory, allowing us to compute the vertical bulk motions generated by a single internal perturber (bar or spiral pattern). In the case of the Galactic bar, we show that these analytically predicted bulk motions are well in line with the outcome of a numerical simulation. The mean vertical motions induced by the Milky Way bar are small (mean velocity of less than 1 km/sec) and cannot be responsible alone for the observed breathing mode, but they are existing. Our analytical treatment is valid close to the plane for all the non-axisymmetric perturbations of the disc that can be described by small-amplitude Fourier modes. Further work should study how the coupling of multiple internal perturbers and external perturbers is affecting the present analytical results.

description: Background and Objective: Computational ultrasound imaging has become a well-established methodology in the ultrasound community. Simulations of ultrasound sequences and images allow the study of innovative techniques in terms of emission strategy, beamforming, and probe design. There is a wide spectrum of software dedicated to ultrasound imaging, each having its specificities in its applications and the numerical method. Methods: We describe in this two-part paper a new ultrasound simulator (SIMUS) for MATLAB, which belongs to the MATLAB UltraSound Toolbox (MUST). The SIMUS software simulates acoustic pressure fields and radiofrequency RF signals for uniform linear or convex probes. SIMUS is an open-source software whose features are 1) ease of use, 2) time-harmonic analysis, 3) pedagogy. The main goal was to offer a comprehensive turnkey tool, along with a detailed theory for pedagogical and research purposes. Results: This article describes in detail the underlying linear theory of SIMUS and provides examples of simulated acoustic fields and ultrasound images. The accompanying article (part II) is devoted to the comparison of SIMUS with several software: Field II, k-Wave, FOCUS, and the Verasonics simulator. The MATLAB open codes for the simulator SIMUS are distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and can be downloaded from https://www.biomecardio.com/MUST. Conclusions: The simulations described in the accompanying paper (Part II) show that SIMUS can be used for realistic simulations in medical ultrasound imaging.
title: Resident-as-Teacher workshop impact on intensive care medicine residents’ perception of their teaching skills
Creators: name: Farfan, Rodolfo
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Resident-as-Teacher, medical education, teaching skills, professional development.

description: This dissertation considers the impact of a teaching workshop concerning twenty-five medical residents’ perceptions of teaching skills, with the objective of analysing how these perceptions influence their professional development, patients’ care, communication skills and patients’ safety management, and inquiring whether during their medical training they have had a previous experience of teaching either with students or other residents. A purposive sampling method was used to select twenty-five residents who were interviewed before and after a sixteen-hour Resident as-Teacher workshop given at Luis Vernaza Hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The workshop was divided in two eight-hour sessions during a weekend. Semi-structured interviews were held in the Department of Education of Hospital Luis Vernaza, five open questions were asked to interviewees, all related to Residents as Teachers’ activities and how their perception on their teaching skills would influence them and their patients in the future. The findings after analysing pre and post-workshop interviews suggested that students benefited from their participation in a Resident-as-Teacher workshop, since, at the end of the study they could more accurately understand and explain the importance of teaching as a learning tool for them and their peers, as well as feel more confident about their ability to transmit knowledge and be able to explain the uses of teaching skills for the improvement of patients’ care, and their professional development. An increase in Residents’ motivation to practice peer-teaching was observed, and also the findings evidenced enhanced student understanding, more advanced autonomy and a proactive behaviour in patients’ safety and communications skills. The research leads to suggestions with regards to implications for practice of teachers and policy makers for the inclusion of teaching skills training in medical school curricula as well as directions for future research.

Is it appropriate to model turbidity currents with the three-equation model?

description: The three-equation model (TEM) was developed in the 1980s to model turbidity currents (TCs) and has been widely used ever since. However, its physical justification was questioned because self-accelerating TCs simulated with the steady TEM seemed to violate the turbulent kinetic energy balance. This violation was considered as a result of very strong sediment erosion that consumes more turbulent kinetic energy than is produced. To confine bed erosion and thus remedy this issue, the four-equation model (FEM) was introduced by assuming a proportionality between the bed shear stress and the turbulent kinetic energy. Here we analytically proof that self-accelerating TCs simulated with the original steady TEM actually never violate the turbulent kinetic energy balance, provided that the bed drag coefficient is not unrealistically low. We find that stronger bed erosion, surprisingly, leads to more production of turbulent kinetic energy due to conversion of potential energy of eroded material into kinetic energy of the current. Furthermore, we analytically show that, for asymptotically supercritical flow conditions, the original steady TEM always produces self-accelerating TCs if the upstream boundary conditions ("ignition" values) are chosen appropriately, while it never does so for asymptotically subcritical flow conditions. We numerically show that our novel method to obtain the ignition values even works for Richardson numbers very near to unity. Our study also includes a comparison of the TEM and FEM closures for the bed shear stress to simulation data of a coupled Large Eddy and Discrete Element Model of sediment transport in water, which suggests that the TEM closure might be more realistic than the FEM closure.

description: We report the discovery of a large-amplitude oscillation in the hot subdwarf B star CS 1246 and present multi-colour photometry and time-resolved spectroscopy supporting this discovery. We used the 0.41-m PROMPT array to acquire data in the u', g', r', and i' filters simultaneously over 3 consecutive nights in 2009 April. These data reveal a single oscillation mode with a period of 371.707 +/- 0.002 s and an amplitude dependent upon wavelength, with a value of 34.5 +/- 1.6 mma in the u' filter. We detected no additional frequencies in any of the light curves. Subsequently, we used the 4.1-m SOAR telescope to acquire a time-series of 248 low-resolution spectra spanning 6 hrs to look for line profile variations. Models fits to the spectra give mean atmospheric values of Teff = 28450 +/- 700 K and log g = 5.46 +/- 0.11 undergoing variations with semi-amplitudes of 507 +/- 55 K and 0.034 +/- 0.009 dex, respectively. We also detect a radial velocity oscillation with an amplitude of 8.8 +/- 1.1 km/s. The relationship between the angular and physical radii variations shows the oscillation is consistent with a radial mode. Under the assumption of a radial pulsation, we compute the stellar distance, radius, and mass as d = 460 +/- 140 pc, R = 0.19 +/- 0.08 Rsun, and M = 0.39 +/- 0.22 Msun, respectively, using the Baade-Wesselink method.

description: In this work, we study the behavior of Brazilian politicians and political parties with the help of clustering algorithms for signed social networks. For this purpose, we extract and analyze a collection of signed networks representing voting sessions of the lower house of Brazilian National Congress. We process all available voting data for the period between 2011 and 2016, by considering voting similarities between members of the Congress to define weighted signed links. The solutions obtained by solving Correlation Clustering (CC) problems are the basis for investigating deputies voting networks as well as questions about loyalty, leadership, coalitions, political crisis and polarization.
