description: In an effort to assist researchers in choosing basis sets for quantum mechanical modeling of molecules (i.e. balancing calculation cost versus desired accuracy), we present a systematic study on the accuracy of computed conformational relative energies and their geometries in comparison to MP2/CBS and MP2/AV5Z data, respectively. In order to do so, we introduce a new nomenclature to unambiguously indicate how a CBS extrapolation was computed. Nineteen minima and transition states of buta-1,3-diene, propan-2-ol and the water dimer were optimized using 45 different basis sets. Specifically, this includes one Pople (i.e. 6-31G(d)), 8 Dunning (i.e. VXZ and AVXZ, X = 2–5), 25 Jensen (i.e. pc-n, pcseg-n, aug-pcseg-n, pcSseg-n, and aug-pcSseg-n, n = 0–4), and 9 Karlsruhe (e.g. def2-SV(P), def2-QZVPPD) basis sets. The molecules were chosen to represent both common and electronically diverse molecular systems. In comparison to MP2/CBS relative energies computed using the largest Jensen basis sets (i.e. n = 2,3,4), the use of smaller sizes (n = 0,1,2 and n = 1,2,3) provides results that are within 0.11–0.24 and 0.09–0.16 kcal⋅mol −1. To practically guide researchers in their basis set choice, an equation is introduced that ranks basis sets based on a user-defined balance between their accuracy and calculation cost. Furthermore, we explain why the aug-pcseg-2, def2-TZVPPD and def2-TZVP basis sets are very suitable choices to balance speed and accuracy.
title: Development of High-Temperature and High-Performance Glass Fibre/PAEK Thermoplastic Prepregs
Creators: name: Moradi, Alireza
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: This research project introduces a novel technique of manufacturing thermoplastic prepregs using an aqueous method. Wet powder technology is utilised for this purpose, based on the concept of suspending polymer particles in a liquid carrier and passing fibre reinforcement through a slurry bath containing the aqueous medium so to pick up the resin particles and subsequently, forming a composite material. An in-house unidirectional prepreg production rig is designed and manufactured, based on the concept of drum winding. The prepreg rig benefits from a novel fibre spreading device, designed and manufactured specifically for use with the in-house rig, with ability to adjust the tow/prepreg thickness. The developed manufacturing method provides grounds for a very effective thermoplastic prepreg production in terms of cost, scale and suitability. Wide range of polymers and fibres can be used with an effective resin impregnation and rapid production. The prepreg rig itself is easily maintained, compact in size, and suitable for laboratory scale research. It also offers the ability to produce high-temperature and high-performance thermoplastic prepregs at considerably low costs. Numerous physical and mechanical tests are carried out on the manufactured S2-glass fibre/PAEK composite materials with different constituent ratios to evaluate the efficiency of the production line and quality of the manufactured materials. Some notable achievements are the ability to manufacture virtually void-free composite laminates with up to 72 % fibre volume content, and observing low reduction (<16 %) of tensile strength for samples tested in elevated temperatures at 250 °C. The aqueous manufacturing method allows easy incorporation of nanomaterials inside the resin matrix. Graphene and nanoclay are added into the resin bath to evaluate the changes in physical and mechanical properties of the prepregs and laminates. It is realised that graphene can enhance the tensile properties of the samples by up to 14 %, and flexural properties by up to 38 %, depending on the concentration. Nanoclay is found to deteriorate the tensile strength and only contributes towards higher flexural properties.
Effective Field Theory of Emergent Symmetry Breaking in Deformed Atomic Nuclei

description: Spontaneous symmetry breaking in non-relativistic quantum systems has previously been addressed in the framework of effective field theory. Low-lying excitations are constructed from Nambu-Goldstone modes using symmetry arguments only. We extend that approach to finite systems. The approach is very general. To be specific, however, we consider atomic nuclei with intrinsically deformed ground states. The emergent symmetry breaking in such systems requires the introduction of additional degrees of freedom on top of the Nambu-Goldstone modes. Symmetry arguments suffice to construct the low-lying states of the system. In deformed nuclei these are vibrational modes each of which serves as band head of a rotational band.

description: This paper introduces Ethno-AI — a conceptual and methodological framework for culturally-aware artificial intelligence.Inspired by ethnomathematics and philosophy of science, the work reframes four core phases of the AI lifecycle:

problem definition,

data selection and structuring,

mathematical modeling,

interpretation and adoption.

Ethno-AI emphasizes that data, logic, and models are never neutral — they embody cultural assumptions, ethical priorities, and epistemic boundaries.This framework calls for the integration of human sciences and local rationalities into AI design.

The paper serves as both a theoretical contribution and a positioning manifesto, aiming to open a new field of research at the intersection of AI, culture, and epistemology.

description: The increased detection of chloroform in wastewater and surface water bodies has become an environmental concern. However, conventional treatment methods such as biodegradation, incineration, and photocatalysis are challenging to scale up, inducing high operation costs and generating toxic byproducts. Hence, this study employs the Response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize chloroform degradation using a spray dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor for the first time. The independent and interactive influence of the DBD parameters (power: 100–200 W, treatment time: 5–20 minutes, recirculating flow rate: 50–200 mL/M) and responses (chloroform degradation ratio (R), total organic carbon removal ratio (TOC)) were optimized using the Rotatable central composite design (RCCD), and a second-order polynomial equation was proposed to predict process efficiency. Results showed significantly predicted values (p < 0.05) and coefficient of determination of 0.96, and 0.93 for TOC and R, respectively, with treatment time and power having significant independent and interactive effects on the responses (TOC: p < 0.0001, R: p < 0.0001) concerning the variance analysis. Accordingly, the model yielded optimum recirculating flow rate, discharge power, and treatment time of 50 mL/min, 200 W, and 20 mins, respectively, which amounted to complete dechlorination of 300 mg/L chloroform, a 43% TOC removal ratio and an energy yield of 4.6 g/kW·h. In addition, the TOC removal ratio was enhanced with the increase in pH and conductivity of the solution.
Tra centro e periferia. Le forme della distanza in un'area urbana in transizione

description: Contemporary cities are affected by profound changes. These have been driven by the transformations in the structure of labour market and in the production system, by the crisis of the traditional urban form and by the new demographic trends and migration flows. The effects of these changes, especially within medium-sized cities, seem to emerge with greater clarity and strength in the suburban areas. These places are, in fact, the ones required to renegotiate their position on the centre-periphery axis. The transition process is especially complex, as it involves not only material changes, but also cultural, economic and social issues. The ethnographic study conducted in a medium-sized Italian city, shows how the transition is accompanied by a growing perception of a distance by the inhabitants and the users of the area. Far from being expressed in only one form, distance constitutes a very multifaceted concept.

description: Relatively few neonatal drug development studies have been conducted, but an increase is expected with the enactment of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA). Understanding the safety of drugs studied in neonates is complicated by the unique nature of the population and the level of illness. The objective of this study was to examine neonatal safety data submitted to the FDA in studies pursuant to the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA) and the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) between 1998 and 2015.

description: Kelp Gulls Larus dominicanus are widespread globally due to their ability to exploit a wide variety of resources and foraging habitats inland, in coastal areas and offshore. However, the increasing availability of anthropogenic diet items might potentially impact the health of their populations. We investigated body condition and parasite loads of incubating adult Kelp Gulls and their chicks at seven South African breeding colonies with varying proximity to landfills. Adult body condition indices did not differ significantly among colonies during the incubation period but were on average highest at one of the urban colonies, Strandfontein, which is next to a large landfill site in Cape Town. The only blood parasite identified was Haemoproteus spp. Prevalence overall was low, but significantly higher in adults than in chicks. Yeast cells (Candida spp.) were identified in faecal smears and coincided with higher body condition index values in incubating adults. Our results suggest that urban landscapes currently have little impact on these aspects of gull health, at least on individuals in good enough condition to breed.

description: In this work, we present methodologies for the quantification of confidence in bottom-up coarse-grained models for molecular and macromolecular systems. Coarse-graining methods have been extensively used in the past decades in order to extend the length and time scales accessible by simulation methodologies. The quantification, though, of induced errors due to the limited availability of fine-grained data is not yet established. Here, we employ rigorous statistical methods to deduce guarantees for the optimal coarse models obtained via approximations of the multi-body potential of mean force, with the relative entropy, the relative entropy rate minimization, and the force-matching methods. Specifically, we present and apply statistical approaches, such as bootstrap and jackknife, to infer confidence sets for a limited number of samples, i.e., molecular configurations. Moreover, we estimate asymptotic confidence intervals assuming adequate sampling of the phase space. We demonstrate the need for non-asymptotic methods and quantify confidence sets through two applications. The first is a two-scale fast/slow diffusion process projected on the slow process. With this benchmark example, we establish the methodology for both independent and time-series data. Second, we apply these uncertainty quantification approaches on a polymeric bulk system. We consider an atomistic polyethylene melt as the prototype system for developing coarse-graining tools for macromolecular systems. For this system, we estimate the coarse-grained force field and present confidence levels with respect to the number of available microscopic data.

description: As a low-rank coal, lignite (brown coal) is usually well treated by chemical or enzymatic methods prior to its utilization for energy and materials. Following ionic liquids (ILs)-pretreatment, this study focuses on the treatment of lignite by oxidoreductase-type of enzymes including horseradish peroxidase (HRP), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and laccase. We observed some synergistic effects of IL-pretreatment and enzymatic actions on lignite coal. The combination of IL-pretreatment and HRP-/ADH-treatment enabled smaller and more uniform coal particles than IL-pretreatment alone or that without HRP. However, laccase-treatment led to large coal aggregates likely due to the crosslinking effect. Both HRP- and ADH-treatments induced a lower aliphatic and a higher aromatic content of lignite, particularly when the coal was pretreated by an IL prior to the enzymatic process. Both ADH- and laccase-treatments produced more hydrogen bonds in the coal. Therefore, the combined treatments of lignite by ILs and oxidoreductases dedicate low-rank coal structures.

description: The stability and dynamics of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is affected by the preferential occupancy of small monovalent molecular ions. Small metal and molecular ions such as sodium and alkyl ammonium have crucial biological functions in human body, affect the thermodynamic stability of the duplex DNA and exhibit preferential binding. Here, using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations we investigate the preferential binding of metal ion such as Na+ and molecular ions such as tetramethyl ammonium (TMA+) and 2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium (CHO+) to double stranded DNA. The thermodynamic driving force for a particular molecular ion- DNA interaction is determined by decomposing the free energy of binding into its entropic and enthalpic contributions. Our simulations show that each of these molecular ions preferentially binds to the minor groove of the DNA and the extent of binding is highest for CHO+. The ion binding processes are found to be entropically favourable. In addition, the contribution of hydrophobic effects towards the entropic stabilization (in case of TMA+) and the effect of hydrogen bonding contributing to enthalpic stabilization (in case of CHO+) have also been investigated.

description: Estimating trends in population size is critical for understanding population status and assessing the success of management interventions. Visual counts of birds as they congregate around predictable locations, such as waterholes, is a popular technique for estimating population size. Bird counts are used as a proxy for abundance, but how the relationship between counts and actual abundance varies over space and time is rarely assessed. Here, we demonstrate that colour banding and motion detection cameras provided a good method for monitoring finch visitation patterns across space and time. These methods were validated using three sympatric finch species, the abundance of which have been estimated from waterhole counts over many years. The study showed significant temporal inter-species variability in the proportion of birds visiting waterholes and the number of times the same individual returned to the same waterhole during the early morning. Bird visitation rates also varied between consecutive days, across adjacent waterholes and at different stages of the dry season. Our study suggests that spatiotemporal variation in individual behaviour may introduce substantial error into site-focused bird counts and we recommend considering this in census design.

description: Magnetic quadrupole and electric octupole transitions from the configurations $4p^54d^{N+1}$ and $4p^64d^{N-1}4f$ were calculated along with magnetic dipole, electric dipole and electric quadrupole radiative transitions in quasirelativistic Hartree-Fock approximation. Their significance in determining the metastable level radiative lifetimes was investigated along several isoelectronic sequences for the ions from $Z=50$ to $Z=92$. Strontium-like ions, zirconium-like ions, molybdenum-like ions and rhodium-like ions were studied comprehensively. Remaining isoelectronic sequences with the ground configuration $4d^{N}$ ($N=1,3,5,7,8,10$) were also reviewed albeit in less detail. A systematic trends of determined total radiative lifetimes were studied. The importance of magnetic quadrupole and electric octupole transitions from metastable levels of ions from these isoelectronic sequences was investigated and discussed. Inclusion of such transitions of higher multipole order can change theoretical radiative lifetime values for some levels more than ten times. These cases can not be established in advance, without `performing detailed calculations.

description: In this paper, we consider Sjamaar's holomorphic slice theorem, the birational equivalence theorem of Guillemin and Sternberg, and a number of important standard constructions that work for Hamiltonian circle actions in both the symplectic category and the Kähler category: reduction, cutting, and blow-up. In each case, we show that the theory extends to Hamiltonian circle actions on complex manifolds with tamed symplectic forms. (At least, the theory extends if the fixed points are isolated.) Our main motivation for this paper is that the first author needs the machinery that we develop here to construct a non-Hamiltonian symplectic circle action on a closed, connected six-dimensional symplectic manifold with exactly 32 fixed points; this answers an open question in symplectic geometry. However, we also believe that the setting we work in is intrinsically interesting, and elucidates the key role played by the following fact: the moment image of $e^t \cdot x$ increases as $t \in \mathbb{R}$ increases.

Motivated by Sn$_{1-x}$In$_x$Te, we consider fully gapped pair potentials and calculate the surface spectral function. It is found that mirror-protected zero-energy Andreev bound states appear at the (001) surface and that these states can move along the mirror symmetric line on the surface Brillouin zone. We also show that the surface Andreev bound state changes systematically with doping due to the presence of the Dirac surface state in the normal state.

description: Adherence to a low-gluten diet has become increasingly common in parts of the general population. However, the effects of reducing gluten-rich food items including wheat, barley and rye cereals in healthy adults are unclear. Here, we undertook a randomised, controlled, cross-over trial involving 60 middle-aged Danish adults without known disorders with two 8-week interventions comparing a low-gluten diet (2 g gluten per day) and a high-gluten diet (18 g gluten per day), separated by a washout period of at least six weeks with habitual diet (12 g gluten per day). We find that, in comparison with a high-gluten diet, a low-gluten diet induces moderate changes in the intestinal microbiome, reduces fasting and postprandial hydrogen exhalation, and leads to improvements in self-reported bloating. These observations suggest that most of the effects of a low-gluten diet in non-coeliac adults may be driven by qualitative changes in dietary fibres.

description: Wakes of towed and self-propelled bodies in stratified fluids are significantly different from non-stratified wakes. Long time effects of stratification on the development of the wakes of bluff bodies moving at constant speed are well known. In this experimental study we demonstrate how buoyancy affects the initial growth of vortices developing in the wake of a hydrofoil accelerating from rest. Particle image velocimetry measurements were applied to characterize the wake evolution behind a NACA 0015 hydrofoil accelerating in water and for low Reynolds number and relatively strong and stably stratified fluid (Re=5,000, Fr~O(1)). The analysis of velocity and vorticity fields, following vortex identification and an estimate of the circulation, reveal that the vortices in the stratified fluid case are stretched along the streamwise direction in the near wake. The momentum thickness profiles show lower momentum thickness values for the stratified late wake compared to the non-stratified wake, implying that the drag on an accelerating hydrofoil in a stratified medium is reduced at the acceleration stage. The findings may improve our ability to predict drag due to maneuvering of micro-air/watervehicles in stratified conditions.

description: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate microbiological effectiveness, that is, culture negativity of a non-blinded eradication protocol (Rx) compared with observation (Obs) in clinically stable cystic fibrosis participants with newly positive methicillin resistant Staphylococcusaureus (MRSA) cultures.

DESIGN: This non-blinded trial randomised participants ages 4-45 years with first or early (≤2 positive cultures within 3 years) MRSA-positive culture without MRSA-active antibiotics within 4 weeks 1:1 to Rx or Obs. The Rx protocol was: oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or if sulfa-allergic, minocycline plus oral rifampin; chlorhexidine mouthwash for 2 weeks; nasal mupirocin and chlorhexidine body wipes for 5 days and environmental decontamination for 21 days. The primary end point was MRSA culture status at day 28.

RESULTS: Between 1 April 2011 to September 2014, 45 participants (44% female, mean age 11.5 years) were randomised (24 Rx, 21 Obs). At day 28, 82% (n=18/22) of participants in the Rx arm compared with 26% (n=5/19) in the Obs arm were MRSA-negative. Adjusted for interim monitoring, this difference was 52% (95% CI 23% to 80%, p<0.001). Limiting analyses to participants who were MRSA-positive at the screening visit, 67% (8/12) in the Rx arm and 13% (2/15) in the Obs arm were MRSA-negative at day 28, adjusted difference: 49% (95% CI 22% to 71%, p<0.001). Fifty-four per cent in the Rx arm compared with 10% participants in the Obs arm remained MRSA-negative through day 84. Mild gastrointestinal side effects were higher in the Rx arm.

CONCLUSIONS: This MRSA eradication protocol for newly acquired MRSA demonstrated microbiological efficacy with a large treatment effect.

description: The Forest Kingfisher Todiramphus macleayii inhabits eucalypt savannas, rainforests and mangroves across its distribution in Australasia. Two Australian subspecies are consistently recognised but the taxonomic status of resident New Guinean populations is unsettled. Genomic data from populations sampled across the species’ Australian and New Guinean ranges support the recognition of resident New Guinean populations at the subspecies level as T. m. elisabeth. Further work is required to examine island populations that remain unsampled genetically and to place the species in a broader phylogenetic analysis of Todiramphus kingfishers. We also report genetically based detection of a migrant individual in New Guinea either from eastern Australia or the Trans-Fly region of southern New Guinea. Our study provides a first insight into how genetic diversity is structured within this species across its range. It highlights remaining areas for study and illustrates the potential of DNA sequence data in tracking migratory movements of the species.

description: As an issue of public health, lead pollution has been a major concern for industrialists, environmentalists, and health workers. Researchers are always looking for the best way combat to Pb(II) contamination problem from the wastewater generated by industries. Here a new Schiff base ligand 2-(Piperazin-1-yl)ethan-1-imine methyl benzaldehyde (PEIMB), was constructed and used for the functionalization of chitosan. The magnetized chitosan (MCS-PEIMB) was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX, VSM, and TG techniques. The adsorption process of Pb(II) ions using the prepared adsorbent was investigated by the study of different factors such as pH values, adsorption time, the initial concentration of Pb(II) ions, and adsorbent dosage. The obtained results from Langmuir isotherm proved the monolayer adsorption of Pb(II) ions on the surface of MCS-PEIMB with the maximum adsorption capacity of 142.86 mg/g. The effect of some variables including pH values, adsorption time, and adsorbent dosage was assessed using a central composite design, and 4.02, 31.14 (Min), and 0.1044 (g/L) were obtained as optimum conditions, respectively. In addition, the adsorption mechanism of lead ions on the surface of MCS-PEIMB was studied using Gaussian 09 program package.

description: We show that Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices with broken time-reversal symmetry can support chiral edge modes originating from nontrivial bulk excitation band topology. To be specific, we analyze a Bose-Hubbard extension of the Haldane model, which can be realized with recently developed techniques of manipulating honeycomb optical lattices. The topological properties of Bloch bands known for the noninteracting case are smoothly carried over to Bogoliubov excitation bands for the interacting case. We show that the parameter ranges that display topological bands enlarge with increasing the Hubbard interaction or the particle density. In the presence of sharp boundaries, chiral edge modes appear in the gap between topological excitation bands. We demonstrate that by coherently transferring a portion of a condensate into an edge mode, a density wave is formed along the edge owing to an interference with the background condensate. This offers a unique method of detecting an edge mode through a macroscopic quantum phenomenon.

description: In many avian species, age, body size, and song could signal quality or individual breeding experience and these traits are often correlated with reproductive success. The relationship between sexually selected signals and avian mating systems is a topic of active research, but still remains poorly investigated in species from southern latitudes. Here, we explored the relationships between body size, condition, age, song and social and genetic reproductive success in Sicalis flaveola pelzelni, a Neotropical thraupid. This socially monogamous species has both age-related changes in song and plumage colouration and extra-pair paternity. When measuring male song we found that a lower peak frequency may be associated with patterns of extra-pair paternity gain by males. We also found that male age may not have a marked effect on paternity assurance. In addition, we found that female body condition appears to influence on the proportion of extra-pair nestlings in females’ nests. We contribute novel data to help bridge the geographic and taxonomic gap in this research field.

Spaces of polynomials related to multiplier maps

description: Let $f(x) \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ of degree $n$. We attach to $f$ a $\mathbb{C}$-vector space $W(f)$ which consists of complex polynomials $p(x)$ of degree at most $n - 2$ such that $f(x)$ divides $f"(x)p(x) - f'(x) p'(x)$. The space $W(f)$ originally appears in Yuri Zarhin's solution towards a problem of dynamics in one complex variable posed by Yu. S. Ilyashenko. In this paper, we show that $W(f)$ is nonvanishing if and only if $q(x)^2$ divides $f(x)$ for some quadratic polynomial $q(x)$. Then we prove $W(f)$ has dimension $(n-1) - (n_1 + n_2 + 2N_3)$ under certain conditions, where $n_i$ is the number of distinct roots of $f$ with multiplicity $i$ and $N_3$ is the number of distinct roots of $f$ with multiplicity at least three.

description: European countries, including France, have experienced a strong gain in life expectancy due to advances in science and health policy implemented in last 60 years. However, even if several devices have main role to reduce social inequalities in health care provision trying to diversify to meet different kinds of people, we still found strong disparities in terms of: use of care, medical consumption, and between social groups. This raises wider issues of social justice. Therefore, our study focuses on access to reproductive health care and reproductive health in a territory of Aquitaine (France).

description: Mice with a complete absence of tissue factor (TF) die during embryonic development whereas mice with low levels of TF (Low-TF mice) survive to adulthood. Low-TF mice exhibit spontaneous hemorrhage in various organs, including the lung. In contrast, mice can survive without protease-activated receptor (PAR)-4, which is the major thrombin receptor on mouse platelets. We determined the effect of combining a deficiency PAR-4 (primary hemostasis) with a deficiency in TF (secondary hemostasis) on embryonic development and survival of adult mice.

description: We study bino-wino coannihilation scenario in the so-called spread or mini-split supersymmetry. We show that, in this model, a neutral wino has a macroscopic decay length in a wide range of parameter space. This characteristic feature could be observed as a displaced vertex plus missing transverse energy event at the LHC. In this paper, we study the current constraints and future prospects on the scenario based on the displaced vertex search performed by the ATLAS collaboration. It is found that a sizable parameter region can be probed at the 8 TeV LHC run. This search strategy will considerably extend its reach at the next stage of the LHC running, and thus play a crucial role to examine a possibility of bino dark matter in the mini-split type supersymmetric models.

description: The main aim of the paper is to start from the Zapf model concerning the objective and subjective dimensions of well-being in order to suggest an investigative strategy oriented toward studying urban quality of life by geo-referencing data. In particular, this approach has the main objective of explaining - thanks to the mapping of objective and subjective variables - well-being, deprivation, dissonance and adaptation attitudes of individuals. For this purpose a simulation model has been developed. The text also deals with methodological issues linked to the concrete application of the model itself.
