description: We present the stellar mass - size relation for 49 galaxies within the $z$ = 1.067 cluster SPT-CL J0546$-$5345, with FWHM $\sim$80-120 mas $K_{\mathrm s}$-band data from the Gemini multi-conjugate adaptive optics system (GeMS/GSAOI). This is the first such measurement in a cluster environment, performed at sub-kpc resolution at rest-frame wavelengths dominated by the light of the underlying old stellar populations. The observed stellar mass - size relation is offset from the local relation by 0.21 dex, corresponding to a size evolution proportional to $(1+z)^{-1.25}$, consistent with the literature. The slope of the stellar mass - size relation $β$ = 0.74 $\pm$ 0.06, consistent with the local relation. The absence of slope evolution indicates that the amount of size growth is constant with stellar mass. This suggests that galaxies in massive clusters such as SPT-CL J0546$-$5345 grow via processes that increase the size without significant morphological interference, such as minor mergers and/or adiabatic expansion. The slope of the cluster stellar mass - size relation is significantly shallower if measured in $HST$/ACS imaging at wavelengths blueward of the Balmer break, similar to rest-frame UV relations at $z$ = 1 in the literature. The stellar mass - size relation must be measured at redder wavelengths, which are more sensitive to the old stellar population that dominates the stellar mass of the galaxies. The slope is unchanged when GeMS $K_s$-band imaging is degraded to the resolution of $K$-band HST/NICMOS resolution but dramatically affected when degraded to $K_s$-band Magellan/FourStar resolution. Such measurements must be made with AO in order to accurately characterise the sizes of compact, $z$ = 1 galaxies.

description: Virtual $3$-manifolds were introduced by S.V. Matveev in 2009 as natural generalizations of the classical $3$-manifolds. In this paper, we introduce a notion of complexity of a virtual $3$-manifold. We investigate the values of the complexity for virtual 3-manifolds presented by special polyhedra with one or two $2$-components. On the basis of these results, we establish the exact values of the complexity for a wide class of hyperbolic $3$-manifolds with totally geodesic boundary.

title: Versatile piezoelectric pulsed molecular beam source for gaseous compounds and organic molecules with femtomole accuracy for UHV and surface science applications
Creators: name: Schießer, Alexander
name: Schäfer, Rolf
Publisher: name: AIP Publishing
Year: 2023

description: This note describes the construction of a piezoelectric pulsed molecular beam source based upon a design presented in an earlier work [D. Proch and T. Trickl, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 60, 713 (1988)]. The design features significant modifications that permit the determination of the number of molecules in a beam pulse with an accuracy of 1×10¹¹ molecules per pulse. The 21 cm long plunger-nozzle setup allows the molecules to be brought to any point of the UHV chamber with very high intensity. Furthermore, besides typical gaseous compounds, also smaller organic molecules with a vapor pressure higher than 0.1 mbar at room temperature may serve as feed material. This makes the new design suitable for various applications in chemical and surface science studies.

Expected Information Maximization: Using the I-Projection for Mixture Density Estimation

description: Modelling highly multi-modal data is a challenging problem in machine learning. Most algorithms are based on maximizing the likelihood, which corresponds to the M(oment)-projection of the data distribution to the model distribution. The M-projection forces the model to average over modes it cannot represent. In contrast, the I(nformation)-projection ignores such modes in the data and concentrates on the modes the model can represent. Such behavior is appealing whenever we deal with highly multi-modal data where modelling single modes correctly is more important than covering all the modes. Despite this advantage, the I-projection is rarely used in practice due to the lack of algorithms that can efficiently optimize it based on data. In this work, we present a new algorithm called Expected Information Maximization (EIM) for computing the I-projection solely based on samples for general latent variable models, where we focus on Gaussian mixtures models and Gaussian mixtures of experts. Our approach applies a variational upper bound to the I-projection objective which decomposes the original objective into single objectives for each mixture component as well as for the coefficients, allowing an efficient optimization. Similar to GANs, our approach employs discriminators but uses a more stable optimization procedure, using a tight upper bound. We show that our algorithm is much more effective in computing the I-projection than recent GAN approaches and we illustrate the effectiveness of our approach for modelling multi-modal behavior on two pedestrian and traffic prediction datasets.
title: Teachers’ Use of Predictive Learning Analytics: Experiences from The Open University UK
Creators: name: Gillespie, Anna
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis evaluates the role of predictive learning analytics (PLA) as a teaching tool in higher education. The focus is the Open University’s (OU) Associate Lecturers (ALs). The OU is an online distance learning university in the UK where PLA presented in the form of the Early Alert Indicators (EAI) dashboard which has been available to ALs for over two years. However existing research suggests that it is not well adopted. The thesis aims to give a better understanding of the reasons for teachers’ resistance to using PLA. It addresses the following research questions: 1) How do existing teacher beliefs relate to Associate Lecturers’ use of PLA? 2) How does (a) knowledge of technology and (b) data literacy relate to Associate Lecturers’ use of PLA? 3) What are Associate Lecturers’ (a) perceptions of the use and usability of PLA and (b) actual use as measured by fine-grained eye-tracking approaches and observation of use? Three theoretical models informed research questions: The Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen 1991): The Decomposed Theory of Planned behaviour (Taylor and Todd, 1995); and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (Venkatesh, Morris, and Davis, 2003). Using a mixed methods approach, three strands of enquiry were synthesised: Semi- structured interviews with eleven (N=11) participants. Of the 11 participants, six (n=6) participated in a fine-grained observation of EAI use using eye-tracking and retrospective think aloud protocols and five (n=5) participated in a screen-sharing observation and concurrent think aloud protocols. Findings identified a range of reasons for low engagement with EAI including levels of management support, ethical concerns about use of student data, and evidence of some erroneous interpretations of EAI as identified by the analysis of eye-tracking data and screen-sharing observation. Conclusion: The support of management, a clear understanding of the ethical basis of EAI and ongoing training are key to the adoption of PLA in online and distance learning in higher education. While theoretical models are useful for understanding technology use, they are limited in their application for PLA and a new model of Technology and Data Acceptance in Education (PLA) is proposed.

description: We demonstrate direct measurements of the spin-orbit interaction and Landé g factors in a semiconductor nanowire double quantum dot. The device is made from a single-crystal pure-phase InAs nanowire on top of an array of finger gates on a Si/SiO$_2$ substrate and the measurements are performed in the Pauli spin-blockade regime. It is found that the double quantum dot exhibits a large singlet-triplet energy splitting of $Δ_{ST}\sim 2.3$ meV, a strong spin-orbit interaction of $Δ_{SO}\sim 140$ $μ$eV, and a large and strongly level-dependent Landé g factor of $\sim 12.5$. These results imply that single-crystal pure-phase InAs nanowires are desired semiconductor nanostructures for applications in quantum information technologies.

Creators: name: Friedrich, Anne

Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2022

description: Much of the potential of industrial additive manufacturing (AM) is said to lie in the digital specification of components that can be transmitted seamlessly and unambiguously to partners fostering flexible outsourcing. In industry, we observe nuanced AM supply chain governance structures that result from make‐or‐buy decisions, with a tendency to implement AM in‐house. Thus, there is a discrepancy between what is discussed in the literature and implemented in practice. We apply a multiple‐case study approach to investigate why and how AM impacts the make‐or‐buy decision of manufacturing firms. We identify four decision profiles demonstrating the spectrum of specific governance structures and develop a framework to explain the underlying rationales. We find strong arguments for in‐house AM including firms’ perceived need to protect their digitally encapsulated intellectual property, reevaluation of their core competencies, commitment to internal learning, and senior management's enthusiasm for AM. By using transaction cost economics and the resource‐based view, we contribute to the understanding of how arguments of these general theories are modified by the digital and emerging traits of AM. We reveal contradicting guidance in the theories’ argumentation for the case of AM and provide managers a clear perspective on alternative strategies for their AM implementation process.

description: The eruption of solar filaments, also known as prominences appearing off-limb, is a common phenomenon in the solar atmosphere. It ejects massive plasma and high-energy particles into interplanetary space, disturbing the solar-terrestrial environment. It is vital to obtain the three-dimensional velocity fields of erupting filaments for space-weather predictions. We derive the three-dimensional kinematics of an off-limb prominence and an on-disk filament, respectively, using the full-disk spectral and imaging data detected by the Chinese H$α$ Solar Explorer (CHASE). It is found that both the prominence and the filament experience a fast semicircle-shaped expansion at first. The prominence keeps propagating outward with an increasing velocity until escaping successfully, whereas the south leg of the prominence finally moves back to the Sun in a swirling manner. For the filament, the internal plasma falls back to the Sun associated with an anticlockwise rotation in the late ejection, matching the failed eruption without a coronal mass ejection. During the eruptions, both the prominence and the filament show material splitting along the line-of-sight direction, revealed by the bimodal H$α$ spectral profiles. For the prominence, the splitting begins at the top and gradually spreads to almost the whole prominence with a fast blue-shift component and a slow red-shift component. The material splitting in the filament is more fragmental. As shown by the present results, the CHASE full-disk spectroscopic observations make it possible to systematically study the three-dimensional kinematics of solar filament eruptions.

title: Controller parameterization and bias current reduction of active magnetic bearings for a flexible and gyroscopic spindle
Creators: name: Franz, Daniel
name: Jungblut, Jens
name: Rinderknecht, Stephan
Publisher: name: John Wiley & Sons
Year: 2022

description: A magnetically levitated spindle was designed for fatigue testing of cylinders made of fiber reinforced plastic. In these fatigue tests, the speed of the cylinders is varied cyclically between 15,000 and 30,000 rpm until their mechanical failure occurs. Several eigenfrequencies have to be passed to reach the operational speed range. During long‐term operation, the rotor of the spindle is prone to overheating due to various losses. One way of reducing the rotor temperature is to decrease the bias current of the radial active magnetic bearings. Since the bias current influences the dynamic behavior of the system, the control of the bearings has to be adapted as well. This article describes a controller design for the system with different bias currents to determine the smallest usable bias current. A detailed model of the plant is developed, which is then used to optimize the parameters of the utilized controller with a predefined structure using the weighted ℋ∞ norm as the objective function. Since the rotor is highly gyroscopic, its eigenfrequencies change with the rotational speed. To ensure that the system meets certain robustness criteria at all rotational speeds, the parameters of the controller are simultaneously optimized for the plant model at different speeds. This approach leads to a controller which can be used in the entire speed range without the need for gain scheduling. The functionality of the controller and the influence of the bias current on the rotor temperature are investigated through measurements.

title: The identification, rationalization and correlation of physiological and behavioural responses to stress
Creators: name: Edmond, Avril
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Animal sciences, poultry, effects of stress.

description: This thesis describes a multidisciplinary approach to the measurement of bird welfare. In chapter 2 commercial and traditional lines of layer birds were compared to determine time of onset of lay and the occurrence of superficial shell abnormalities. The commercial lines laid earlier, a feature consistent with the demand for high egg production in these strains and these eggs also displayed an increased incidence of surface defects at that time. Following the move to cages, shell quality was similar across all lines. Experiment 2 permitted an evaluation of specific stress responses, in terms of eggshell quality, plasma corticosterone levels and prior simple tests of avoidance across all breed types. The results were inconsistent suggesting that each measure was assessing a different aspect of the bird's response. Chapter 3 describes an in-house trial constructed to detect the immediacy or otherwise of the bird's response to stress. The more in-depth investigation applied in this work facilitated comment to be made on the intra-shell location of defects associated with the stress response. In terms of shell quality, the response was not immediate and was more pronounced in birds moved into pens with a variety of enrichments. The complex variables associated with this experiment were too diverse to dissect out and dissociate from each other. In the second experiment more defined acute and chronic stressors were applied and it was clear that the time delay, in terms of bird response, was real but was only elicited in those birds which had experienced acute stress. Shell quality defects are not the prerogative of the layer bird and in chapter 4 the effect of rearing enrichment on subsequent broiler breeder performance illustrated improvements in both the physical / material and structural quality of the eggshell from mid lay onwards. Previous chapters have highlighted the fact that the eggshell can be used as a non-invasive indicator of welfare. In Chapter 5 this methodology was applied to a multi-tier system to determine tier effect with respect to product quality under normal commercial conditions. Eggs from the top and bottom tiers demonstrated a variety of shell and internal quality variables which correlated with specific environmental parameters viz lighting, temperature and ammonia concentration. Chapter 6 describes the consolidation of the measurements of eggshell quality currently available. Resonance frequency testing is a simple, cost-effective, non-destructive measure of egg quality with the potential to distinguish not only cracked eggs but those predisposed to crack at some point during routine handling.

description: The consistency of the embedding of four-dimensional SO(8) gauged N=8 supergravity into eleven-dimensional supergravity, where the internal directions are compactified on a seven-sphere, was established by de Wit and Nicolai in the 1980s. The reduction ansatz for the eleven-dimensional metric, and for some of the components of the 4-form field strength, were found at that time, and recently the complete expression for the 4-form reduction has been obtained. The expressions are quite complicated, and in many practical applications it would be sufficient to know the ansatz for a subset of the four-dimensional fields. In this paper, we obtain explicit expressions for the embedding of the truncation of the full N=8 gauged theory to the N=2 gauged STU supergravity. This corresponds, in the bosonic sector, to a consistent truncation of the N=8 supergravity fields to those that are singlets under the U(1)^4 Cartan subalgebra of SO(8). This truncation to STU supergravity, which comprises N=2 supergravity coupled to three vector multiplets, suffices, for example, for lifting the general 8-charge asymptotically-AdS rotating black holes to eleven dimensions. We also give two distinct further truncations to N=2 supergravities coupled to single vector multiplets.

description: High‐power piezoelectric applications are predicted to share approximately one‐third of the lead‐free piezoelectric ceramic market in 2024 with alkaline niobates as the primary competitor. To suppress self‐heating in high‐power devices due to mechanical loss when driven by large electric fields, piezoelectric hardening to restrict domain wall motion is required. In the present work, highly effective piezoelectric hardening via coherent plate‐like precipitates in a model system of the (Li,Na)NbO₃ (LNN) solid solution delivers a reduction in losses, quantified as an electromechanical quality factor, by a factor of ten. Various thermal aging schemes are demonstrated to control the average size, number density, and location of the precipitates. The established properties are correlated with a detailed determination of short‐ and long‐range atomic structure by X‐ray diffraction and pair distribution function analysis, respectively, as well as microstructure determined by transmission electron microscopy. The impact of microstructure with precipitates on both small‐ and large‐field properties is also established. These results pave the way to implement precipitate hardening in piezoelectric materials, analogous to precipitate hardening in metals, broadening their use cases in applications.

description: This report summarises findings from a workshop convened in Brussels in April 2023 to discuss how to make translational research design principles the norm for Europe. Through a series of presentations and discussions a set of key findings and recommendations emerged that provide a pathway for further activity in this area. These include the value of agreeing on a common definition for translational research, ways to support cross disciplinary and cross sectoral collaboration, and the role that funding and assessment frameworks can play in creating an enabling environment for translational research practices.
Fast Evolution and Waveform Generator for Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals in Equatorial-Circular Orbits

description: In this paper we discuss the development of a fast and accurate waveform model for the quasi-circular orbital evolution of extreme-mass-ratio-inspirals (EMRIs). This model simply employs the data of a few numerical Teukoulsky-based energy fluxes and waveforms to fit out a set of polynomials for the entire fluxes and waveforms. These obtained polynomials are accurate enough in the entire evolution domain, and much more accurate than the resummation post-Newtonian (PN) energy fluxes and waveforms, especially when the spin of a black hole becomes large. The dynamical equation we adopted for orbital revolution is the effective-one-body (EOB) formalism. Because of the simplified expressions, the efficiency of calculating the orbital evolution with our polynomials is also better than the traditional method which uses the resummed PN analytical fluxes. Our model should be useful in calculation of waveform templates of EMRIs for the gravitational wave detectors such as the evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (eLISA).

Year: 2024

description: Iron is required by almost all living species and plays an important role in a variety of metabolic processes. The primary function of haemoglobin is to transport oxygen. Iron deficiency anaemia in dogs and cats is typically caused by persistent blood loss and can be detected unintentionally since animals may have evolved to the anaemia. Severe iron shortage is distinguished by a microcytic, hypochromic, possibly severe anaemia with varying regeneration responses.

title: Measurement of the associated production of a top quark pair and a Higgs boson (t¯tH) with boosted topologies
Creators: name: Borbely, Albert Gyorgy
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: This thesis presents three studies focusing on boosted topologies that utilise machine learning techniques for boosted H → b¯b reconstruction using the ATLAS detector. The measurement of the t¯tH cross-section is a direct way of accessing the Higgs top Yukawa coupling (yt). Firstly, an all-hadronic feasibility study is shown, aimed at assessing boosted topologies in the all-hadronic t¯tH decay channel. It was found to have low statistical significance, with considerable efforts and data driven techniques required to reduce the QCD-multijet background. Secondly, the boosted contribution to the recent t¯tH, H → b¯b measurement using the full Run-2 ATLAS data set, 139f b−1 at √s = 13 TeV, is analysed. There is a considerable contribution from the boosted region to this result, particularly to the differential cross-section measurement of the Simplified Template Cross-Section (STXS) bins [300, 450) and [450, ∞) GeV. The result of the inclusive profile-likelihood fit is μ = 0.35+0.36−0.34, which corresponds to σ = 1.0(2.7) observed(expected) significance compared to the background-only hypothesis. Thirdly work on retraining the boosted H → b¯b reconstruction deep neural network (DNN) is shown for the Run-2 Legacy re-analysis. The bespoke DNN trained for the analysis showed some improvements over the previous round due to the updated analysis algorithms. It also outperformed the general purpose H → b¯b Xbb tagger. The final motivation for use of the bespoke DNN is that it allows the choice of boosted jet collection (RC-jets vs LR-jets). RC-jets re cluster “small” (∆R = 0.4) jets with ∆R = 1.0 while LR-jets directly cluster the calorimeter clusters with ∆R = 1.0, both using the anti-kt algorithm. The RC-jets jets are found to be advantageous. This is due to the ease of propagating systematics for combining with resolved regions and the good modelling observed using samples made with the Atlfast-2 detector simulation.

description: An emerging branch of electronics, the optospintronics, would be highly boosted if the control of magnetic order by light is implemented in magnetic semiconductors nanostructures being compatible with the actual technology. Here we show that the ferromagnetic magnetization of low Fe-doped ZnO nanowires prepared by carbothermal process is enhanced under illumination up to temperatures slightly below room temperature. This enhancement is related to the existence of an oxygen vacancy V$_{\rm O}$ in the neighbouring of an antiferromagnetic superexchange Fe$^{3+}$-Fe$^{3+}$ pair. Under illumination the V$_{\rm O}$ is ionized to V$_{\rm O}^+$ giving an electron to a close Fe$^{3+}$ ion from the antiferromagnetic pair. This light excited electron transition allows the transition of Fe$^{3+}$ to Fe$^{2+}$ forming stable ferromagnetic double exchange pairs, increasing the total magnetization. The results here presented indicate an efficient way to influence the magnetic properties of ZnO based nanostructures by light illumination at high temperatures.

description: We present a study of the parsec-scale multi-frequency properties of the quasar S4 1030+61 during a prolonged radio and gamma-ray activity. Observations were performed within Fermi gamma-ray telescope, OVRO 40-m telescope and MOJAVE VLBA monitoring programs, covering five years from 2009. The data are supplemented by four-epoch VLBA observations at 5, 8, 15, 24, and 43 GHz, which were triggered by the bright gamma-ray flare, registered in the quasar in 2010. The S4 1030+61 jet exhibits an apparent superluminal velocity of (6.4+-0.4)c and does not show ejections of new components in the observed period, while decomposition of the radio light curve reveals nine prominent flares. The measured variability parameters of the source show values typical for Fermi-detected quasars. Combined analysis of radio and gamma-ray emission implies a spatial separation between emitting regions at these bands of about 12 pc and locates the gamma-ray emission within a parsec from the central engine. We detected changes in the value and direction of the linear polarization and the Faraday rotation measure. The value of the intrinsic brightness temperature of the core is above the equipartition state, while its value as a function of distance from the core is well approximated by the power-law. Altogether these results show that the radio flaring activity of the quasar is accompanied by injection of relativistic particles and energy losses at the jet base, while S4 1030+61 has a stable, straight jet well described by standard conical jet theories.

description: This paper presents a highly dynamic voltage control for the Dual Active Bridge over the full operating range. Maximum dynamics is achieved by using the maximum available manipulated variable in combination with a feedforward control of the capacitor current at a setpoint change. Operation within the system limits is ensured by a variable limitation of the manipulated variable considering the current operating point. The simulation results are validated by measurements on a 35 kW Dual Active Bridge test bench.
