description: Abstract

The present study is focused on enhancement of strength and stiffness parameters of the subgrade soil by stabilizing it with fine Recycled Asphalt Pavement Material (RAPM) of varying proportion from 0 to 25 percent. Basic laboratory tests are carried out on selected subgrade soil and RAPM and based on results of basic laboratory tests. The selected subgrade soil was classified as per Indian Standard Soil Classification System (ISSCS) and Chosen RAPM was identified as per Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). The soil-RAPM mixes of designated combinations are subjected to soaked California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Repeated Load Triaxial Test (RLTT) to examine soaked CBE values and Resilient Modulus (MR) respectively. Improvement in soaked CBR values and MR of soil-RAPM mixes was noticed and also the effect of RAPM content on soaked CBR value and MR presented in this paper. The soaked CBR values and MR of selected subgrade soil mixed fine RAPM extract from this study can be used in the design of pavement subgrade.

description: Labour trafficking in Canada is understudied in criminology. There is an overrepresentation of sexual exploitation research within human trafficking research and not much is known about labour trafficking. Even less is known about labour trafficking in Canada as labour trafficking is a complex crime with a few different theories explaining it. For my Honours research project, I used an annotated bibliography method to represent the current research available. I searched for articles related to labour trafficking in Canada and I also borrowed some search strategies and terms from the research librarians. I looked for a variety of sources including CanLII and newspaper cases, governmental and NGO reports, and academic research articles to understand labour trafficking. There has been some research calling for legal reform and policy recommendations on labour trafficking (Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking, 2022). There have been a few labour trafficking cases in Canada which were prosecuted by the judicial system and reported to the police. There were some cases in the news about labour trafficking but not found in legal decisions from CanLII. Current Legislation includes the Criminal Code R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act S.C. 2001, c. 27. This legislation is included because it outlines human trafficking and the punishments for it and the legislation acknowledges this crime and makes direct references to it. There has been some advocacy work done by non-profit organizations and some suggestions about government intervention, but the data is complex. This study is exploratory, so limitations include low generalizability and more generic descriptions of labour trafficking. More research is needed to understand the specifics of labour trafficking in Canada.
Vison condensation and spinon confinement in a kagome-lattice $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid: A numerical study of a quantum dimer model

description: Quantum spin liquids are exotic many-body states featured with long-range entanglement and fractional anyon quasiparticles. Quantum phase transitions of spin liquids are particularly interesting problems related with novel phenomena of anyon condensation and anyon confinement. Here we study a quantum dimer model which implements a transition between a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid ($\mathbb{Z}_2$SL) and a valence bond solid (VBS) on the kagome lattice. The transition is driven by the condensation of vison excitation of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid, which impacts on other anyon excitations especially leading to the confinement of spinon excitations. By numerical exact diagonalization of the dimer model, we directly measure the vison condensation using vison string operators, and explicitly check a confining potential acting on spinon excitations in the VBS state. It is observed that topological degeneracy of the spin-liquid state is lifted concomitantly with the vison condensation. The dimer ordering pattern of the VBS state is identified by investigating dimer structure factor. Furthermore, we find an interesting state that exhibits features of spin liquid and VBS simultaneously. We discuss the origin of the mixed behaviors and possible scenarios expected in thermodynamic limit. This work complements the previous analytical studies on the dimer model [Phys. Rev. B 87, 104408 (2013) and Phys. Rev. B 92, 205131 (2015)] by providing numerical evidences on the vison condensation and the spinon confinement in the $\mathbb{Z}_2$SL-to-VBS transition.

description: Achieving accurate arbitrary frequency excursions with a laser can be quite a technical challenge, especially when steep slopes (GHz/$μ$s) are required, due to both deterministic and stochastic frequency fluctuations. In this work we present a multi-stage correction combining four techniques: pre-distorsion of the laser modulation, iterative correction, opto-electronic feedback loop and feed-forward correction. This combination allows not only to compensate for the non-instantaneous response of the laser to an input modulation, but also to correct in real time the stochastic frequency fluctuations. We implement this multi-stage architecture on a commercial DBR laser and verify its efficiency, first with monochromatic operation and second with highly demanding frequency excursions. We demonstrate that our multi-stage correction not only enables a strong reduction of the laser linewidth, but also allows steep frequency excursions with a relative RMS frequency error well below $1$%, and a laser spectral purity consistently better than $100$~kHz even in the midst of GHz-scale frequency excursions.

description: A data structure is called history independent if its internal memory representation does not reveal the history of operations applied to it, only its current state. In this paper we study history independence for concurrent data structures, and establish foundational possibility and impossibility results. We show that a large class of concurrent objects cannot be implemented from smaller base objects in a manner that is both wait-free and history independent; but if we settle for either lock-freedom instead of wait-freedom or for a weak notion of history independence, then at least one object in the class, multi-valued single-reader single-writer registers, can be implemented from smaller base objects, binary registers.
 On the other hand, using large base objects, we give a strong possibility result in the form of a universal construction: an object with $s$ possible states can be implemented in a wait-free, history-independent manner from compare-and-swap base objects that each have $O(s + 2^n)$ possible memory states, where $n$ is the number of processes in the system.

title: Synchronicity - Exploring the impact of socio-technical interventions on social isolation
Creators: name: Scrivens, Neil
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: This research project explores the impact of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) based designs on social isolation experiences, focusing on synchronous coordination and asynchronous collaboration. It investigates the experiences, engagement patterns, and preferences of a broad range of participants facing social isolation and assesses how HCI-based interventions affect the frequency and quality of social engagements. The study consists of co-design workshops and prototype testing phases, gathering insights into isolation challenges, and proposing effective socio-technical interventions. The results of this study contribute to the field of HCI by highlighting the potential of socio-technical interventions to alleviate social isolation and improve well-being. By examining a diverse range of individuals, the research informs the design of interventions applicable to a broader audience. Additionally, the study considers how other factors can impact the dynamics of social isolation interventions, with introversion vs. extroversion being specifically recognised. This project aspires to generate innovative ideas and technological designs that support individuals suffering from isolation, promoting social well-being, and enhancing social support networks. By addressing the challenges of social isolation through HCI interventions, this research has the potential to reach a wide range of affected individuals, regardless of the underlying cause of their social isolation.

description: This thesis seeks to determine the type of society existing in Edinburgh during the first four decades of the sixteenth century. It states the problems faced by the city and examines the role of the magistrates and burgh government in dealing with these problems.

Edinburgh was faced with litterbugs, wandering pets, arguments between citizens and other minor nuisances known even to modern cities. She also faced the more serious prob­lems of maintaining sanitary conditions, establishing a sound treasury, renovating areas suffering from urban blight, and apprehending and punishing criminals. In short, she faced most of the problems faced by the typical urban society.

By 1500, Edinburgh was definitely an urban society with an organized system of government which sought to deal with her problems through legislation dealing with every topic from the tying of pets to defending the city against attack. An elaborate system of courts and officials sought, at times unsuccessfully, to enforce these laws.

description: The large-charge master field which generates all n-point correlation functions with an insertion of large charge Q in non-relativistic conformal field theory is obtained. This field is used to compute Schrödinger-invariant n-point correlation functions of large-charge operators via a direct evaluation of the path integral. Conformal dimensions are found to agree with calculations based on the state-operator correspondence. The master field solution exhibits an emergent harmonic trap whose frequency is a function of the Euclidean time. The large-charge effective action with operator insertions describes a droplet of superfluid matter whose spatial size scales with the time separation of sources. The solution is used to compute Schrödinger symmetry breaking corrections in the large-charge effective field theory (EFT) due to a finite scattering length in the fundamental theory of fermions near unitarity. The scaling of these effects in the large-charge power counting scheme is established, and the size of the effects is quantified using input from quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the near-unitary gas, as well as from the large-N expansion at large charge.

description: In a ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet (F/S/F) superconducting spin-valve (SSV), a change of the magnetization alignment of the two F layers modulates the critical temperature (Tc) of the S layer. The Tc-switching (the SSV effect) is based on the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism. Fast and large resistive switching associated with the Tc-switching is suitable for nonvolatile cryogenic memory applications. However, external magnetic field-based operation of SSVs is hindering their miniaturization, and therefore, electric field control of the SSV effect is desired. Here, we report epitaxial growth of a La0.67Ca0.33MnO3/YBa2Cu3O7/La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 SSV on a piezo-electric [Pb(Mg0.33Nb0.67)O3]0.7-[PbTiO3]0.3 (001) substrate and demonstrate electric field control of the SSV effect. Electric field-induced strain-transfer from the piezo-electric substrate increases the magnetization and Tc of the SSV, and leads to an enhancement of the magnitude of Tc-switching. The results are promising for the development of magnetic-field-free superconducting spintronic devices, in which the S/F interaction is not only sensitive to the magnetization alignment but also to an applied electric field.

Abstract

Imagination did not evolve to create art.

It evolved to prevent collapse.

This paper reframes imagination not as an aesthetic gift, but as a structural inevitability—an emergent phase emulator evolved by Homo sapiens to stabilize internal coherence in the absence of external structural feedback. We apply the CODES framework (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) to show that imagination functions as a symbolic buffer: a dynamic rehearsal layer that enables systems under entropy stress to simulate viable patterns before they’re metabolically or cognitively accessible.

By tracing recursive memory in coral lattices, whale migrations, and oceanic field behavior, we demonstrate that imagination is not uniquely human. It is a lawful artifact of matter under signal strain—a response to delayed feedback resolution. Human imagination merely formalized, symbolized, and mythologized a deeper planetary recursion already in motion.

CODES marks the shift from imagination as fantasy to imagination as post-symbolic coherence mapping. It does not destroy imagination—it completes it. When coherence becomes metabolically available, simulation is no longer needed. What remains is not absence, but clarity.

description: Abstract

The information technology (IT) industry, known for its demanding work environments and rapid pace of change, is often characterized by intense job stress. Modern organizations demand multitasking and stringent time management from their workforce to stay competitive, a pressure felt even more acutely in IT. Companies in this sector, such as Apple, Intel, eBay, and IBM, have frequently been cited for high-stress conditions due to relentless schedules and constant change driven by the evolving needs of a global clientele. In India, the IT sector grew substantially post-globalization, supported by government policies that helped position the country as a major IT hub in the Asia-Pacific region. The primary data were collected from IT Employees with the sample size for 514. Proportionate sampling method has been used for the study since the population is known. Tools used for the analysis is descriptive statistics, chi square analysis and correspondence analysis and Means score analysis. The findings of the study shows that the most important variables are having high mean score variables’ such as the company provides opportunity for career development, Job promotions are awarded fairly and without bias are the most important factors which influence the work engagement on IT employees.

description: We provide a concrete example exhibiting marked deviation from the PPN approximation in a modified theory of gravity. Specifically, we derive the exact formula for the Robertson parameter $γ$ in Brans-Dicke gravity for compact mass sources, explicitly incorporating the pressure content of these sources. We achieve this by exploiting the $\textit integrability$ of the 00-component of the Brans-Dicke field equation. In place of the conventional PPN result $γ_{PPN}=\frac{ω+1}{ω+2}$, we obtain the analytical expression $γ_{\,exact}=\frac{ω+1+(ω+2)\varTheta}{ω+2+(ω+1)\varTheta}$ where $\varTheta$ is the ratio of the total pressure $P_\parallel^*+2P_\perp^*$ and total energy $E^*$ contained within the mass source. Our $\textit non\text{-}perturbative$ formula is valid for all field strengths and types of matter comprising the mass source. We draw four key conclusions: (1) The usual $γ_{PPN}$ formula is violated in the presence of pressure, viz. when $\varTheta\neq0$, revealing a limitation of the PPN approximation in Brans-Dicke gravity. (2) The PPN result mainly stems from the assumption of pressureless matter. Even in the weak-field star case, non-zero pressure leads to a violation of the PPN $γ$ formula. Conversely, the PPN result is a good approximation for low-pressure matter, i.e. when $\varTheta\approx0$, for all field strengths. (3) Observational constraints on $γ$ set $\textit joint$ bounds on $ω$ and $\varTheta$, with the latter representing a global characteristic of a mass source. If the equation of state of matter in the mass source approaches the ultra-relativistic form, entailing $\varTheta\simeq1$, $γ_{\,exact}$ converges to 1 $\textit irrespective$ of $ω$. (4) In a broader context, our findings indicate the latent significance of considering the interior structure of stars in observational astronomy.

Dynamical tides during the inspiral of rapidly spinning neutron stars: Solutions beyond mode resonance

description: We investigate the dynamical tide in a gravitational wave (GW)-driven coalescing binary involving a neutron star (NS). The NS is assumed to spin rapidly, with its spin axis anti-aligned with the orbit. Such an NS may exist if the binary forms dynamically in a dense environment, and it can lead to a strong tide because the f-mode can be resonantly excited during the inspiral. We present a new analytical solution for the f-mode resonance by decomposing the tide into a resummed equilibrium component and a dynamical component that is excited only around resonance. This solution simplifies numerical implementations by avoiding the subtraction of two diverging terms. It also extends the solution's validity to frequencies beyond mode resonance. When the dynamical tide back reacts on the orbit, the commonly adopted effective Love number is insufficient because it does not capture the tidal torque on the orbit that dominates the back reaction during mode resonance. An additional dressing factor originating from the imaginary part of the Love number is introduced to model the torque. The dissipative interaction between the NS and the orbital mass multipoles is computed including the dynamical tide. Orbital phase shifts caused by the $l=3$ and $l=2$ f-modes can reach 0.5 and 10 radians at their respective resonances if the NS has a spin rate of 850 Hz. Because of the large impact of the dynamical tide, a linearized analytical description becomes insufficient. After mode excitation, the orbit cannot remain quasi-circular, and the eccentricity excited by the dynamical tide can approach $e\simeq 0.1$, leading to non-monotonic frequency evolution which breaks the stationary phase approximation commonly adopted by frequency-domain waveform constructions. The GW radiation from the excited f-mode alone can be detected with a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding unity with the next-generation detectors.

description: The most general set of static and spherically symmetric solutions for conformal Killing gravity coupled to Maxwell fields is presented in closed form. These solutions, depending on six parameters, include non-asymptotically flat black holes or naked singularities, non-asymptotically flat traversable wormholes, and (possibly singularity-free) closed universes. We also consider the inverse problem, showing that the most general energy-momentum tensor generating a given static spherically symmetric metric depends on three parameters. Sourceless time-dependent isotropic solutions are also given. These solutions depending on the curvature, the cosmological constant, and a new integration constant $α$, present a rich variety, including singularity-free eternal cosmologies and universes evolving symmetrically from a big bang to a big crunch within a finite lapse of time.

description: In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of two populations of Paeonia mascula subsp. russoi, collected in Sicily, was evaluated by GC–MS. No previously phytochemical investigation has been reported for this subspecies. The main components of the essential oil of the population with pink flowers were salicylaldehyde (34.31%), nonanal (16.95%) and 2-hexenal (10.17%), whereas essential oil of the population with white flowers, was shown to be rich of myrtanal (14.14%), eugenol (14.02%) and salicylaldehyde (12.21%). Furthermore, a complete literature review, not present in literature, on the composition of the essential oils of all the other taxa of Paeonia, studied so far, was performed. PCA and HCA analyses of the composition of essential oils obtained from the aerial parts were also carried out.

description: In the field of medicine, evaluating the diagnostic performance of new diagnostic methods can be challenging, especially in the absence of a gold standard. This study proposes a methodology for assessing the performance of diagnostic tests by estimating the posterior distribution of the F1 score using latent class analysis, without relying on a gold standard. The proposed method utilizes Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling to estimate the posterior distribution of the F1 score, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of diagnostic test methods. By applying this method to internet addiction, we demonstrate how latent class analysis can be effectively used to assess diagnostic performance, offering a practical solution for situations where no gold standard is available. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was evaluated through simulation studies by examining the coverage probability of the 95% highest density interval of the estimated posterior distributions.

description: The complex topography and size of High Mountain Asia (HMA) result in large differences in glacier mass-balance variability and climate sensitivity. Current understanding of these sensitivities is limited by simplifications in past studies’ model structure. This study overcomes this limitation by using a mass-balance model to investigate the climatic mass-balance variability and climate sensitivity of 16 glaciers covering major mountain ranges in HMA. Generally, glaciers in the southeast have higher mass turnover while glaciers at the margins of HMA show higher interannual mass-balance variability. All glaciers are most sensitive to temperature perturbations in summer. The climatic mass balance of 15 glaciers is most sensitive to precipitation perturbations in summer or spring and summer, even if the seasonal accumulation peak is not in summer. Only one glacier's mass balance (Chhota Shigri Glacier) is most sensitive to precipitation perturbations in winter. Glaciers with high mass turnover and high summer-precipitation ratio are more sensitive to temperature perturbations. Sensitivity experiments reveal that besides the non-linearity of mass-balance temperature sensitivity, mass-balance precipitation sensitivity is non-linear as well. Furthermore, resolving the diurnal cycle of albedo, (re)freezing and the differentiation between liquid and solid precipitation are important to assess climate sensitivity of glaciers in HMA.

description: Identifying clinical or biological risk factors for disease plays a critical role in enabling earlier disease diagnosis, prognostic outcomes assessment, and may inform disease prevention or monitoring practices. One framework commonly examined is understanding the association between a risk factor ever occurring in follow-up and the future risk of an outcome. If such an association is found, researchers are often asked to validate the finding. External validation is often infeasible, and validation may only be performed internally. However, the performance of internal validation methods in the setting of a time-dependent binary indicator and a time-to-event outcome has not been well-studied. We emulated a dataset motivated by real-world serial biomarker observations and performed extensive simulation studies to evaluate the performance of a resampling-based method to internally validate the association between a time-dependent binary indicator and a time-to-event outcome. We found the resampling-based method achieved optimal power for validating such an association while maintaining good Type I error control.

description: The dark photon is a promising candidate for the dark matter which comprises most of the matter in our visible Universe. Via kinetic mixing with the Standard Model it can also be resonantly converted to photons in an electromagnetic cavity, offering novel experimental possibilities for the discovery and study of dark matter. We report the results of a pathfinder dark photon dark matter cavity search experiment performed at Hunan Normal University and the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, representing the first stage of the APEX (Axion and dark Photon EXperiment) program. Finding no statistically significant excess, we place an upper limit on the kinetic mixing parameter $|χ|<3.7\times 10^{-13}$ around $m_A\simeq 29.5$ $μ$eV at 90% confidence level. This result exceeds other constraints on dark photon dark matter in this frequency range by roughly an order of magnitude.

description: This review article is a historical narrative of the Doba people, who inhabited the Northeast Amhara region and Southern Tigray in what is now referred to as Raya, Ethiopia. The timeframe under consideration spans from ancient times until their eventual assimilation into the local communities. Despite the challenge of scant direct memory among the current residents of Raya, the historical traces of the Doba people are discovered through diverse sources such as chronicles, accounts from travelers, and church documents, either presented in translation or referenced within secondary materials. The article seeks to illuminate various aspects of the Doba people’s existence during the 15th and 16th centuries. This includes exploring their way of life, the geographical context of Raya, and the fluid nature of the Doba identity as it transformed interactions with other communities.

description: Biomarker-guided designs are increasingly used to evaluate personalized treatments based on patients’ biomarker status in Phase II and III clinical trials. With adaptive enrichment, these designs can improve the efficiency of evaluating the treatment effect in biomarker-positive patients by increasing their proportion in the randomized trial. While time-to-event outcomes are often used as the primary endpoint to measure treatment effects for a new therapy in severe diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases, there is limited research on biomarker-guided adaptive enrichment trials in this context. Such trials almost always adopt hazard ratio methods for statistical measurement of treatment effects. In contrast, restricted mean survival time (RMST) has gained popularity for analyzing time-to-event outcomes because it offers more straightforward interpretations of treatment effects and does not require the proportional hazard assumption. This paper proposes a two-stage biomarker-guided adaptive RMST design with threshold detection and patient enrichment. We develop sophisticated methods for identifying the optimal biomarker threshold and biomarker-positive subgroup, treatment effect estimators, and approaches for type I error rate, power analysis, and sample size calculation. We present a numerical example of re-designing an oncology trial. An extensive simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed design.

description: The generation of harmonic radiation through a non-linear mechanism driven by bunching at fundamental frequency is an important option in the operation of high gain Free-Electron Lasers (FELs). The use of harmonic generation at a large scale facility may result in achieving shorter radiation wavelengths for the same electron beam energy. This paper describes a theory of second harmonic generation in planar undulators with particular attention to X-Ray FELs (XFELs). Our study is based on an exact analytical solution of Maxwell equations, derived with the help of the Green's function method. On the contrary, up-to-date theoretical understanding of the second harmonic generation is only limited to some estimation of the total radiation power based on the source part of the wave equation. Moreover, we find that such part of the wave equation is presented with several incorrect manipulations among which is the omission of an important contribution. Our work yields correct parametric dependencies and specific predictions of additional properties such as polarization, angular distribution of the radiation intensity and total power. The most surprising prediction is the presence of a vertically polarized part of the second harmonic radiation, whereas up-to-date understanding assumes that the field is horizontally polarized. Altogether, this paper presents the first correct theory of second harmonic generation for high gain FELs.

Weak-coupling limits of the quantum Langevin equation for an oscillator

description: The quantum Langevin equation as obtained from the independent-oscillator model describes a strong-coupling situation, devoid of the Born-Markov approximation that is employed in the context of the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad equation. The question we address is what happens when we implement such 'Born-Markov'-like approximations at the level of the quantum Langevin equation for a harmonic oscillator which carries a noise term satisfying a fluctuation-dissipation theorem. In this backdrop, we also comment on the rotating-wave approximation.
