description: In this thesis, it is shown that ocean-generated microseism significantly impacts the synchronisation performance of the European X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL), which is based on a high-energy linear accelerator. Using superconducting technology, it generates hard X-ray pulses at megahertz frequencies. Arrival time stability refers to the precision and consistency of the timing of the X-ray pulses, ensuring that they arrive at the target with minimal variation in their temporal alignment. Ocean-generated microseism is low-frequency seismic noise caused by the interaction of ocean waves with the seabed. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is a technology that turns optical fibres into a sensor array for monitoring acoustic signals along their length. By measuring tiny changes in light reflection caused by acoustic disturbances, DAS can provide real-time information about vibrations over long distances.Notably, the bunch arrival time monitors (BAM) show noise between 0.05 Hz and 0.5 Hz, which has a significant impact on the arrival time stability at European XFEL. The impact can be more than 25 fs peak-to-peak. By correlating European XFEL bunch arrival time data with seismic DAS measurements, it is shown that the noise is of seismic origin. Next, both primary and secondary ocean-generated microseism were identified using seismometers and a numerical ocean wave model. Whereas secondary microseism has a strong impact on the bunch arrival time, primary microseism has no notable effect. This is attributed not only to the smaller amplitudes of secondary microseism but also to the fact that primary microseism has a higher Love wave to Rayleigh wave ratio. The effect on the bunch arrival time is caused by Rayleigh waves, while Love waves have a negligible influence on the bunch arrival time. In the presented cases, the noise originates from the North Atlantic and/or the North Sea. The amplitude of the noise depends on the weather conditions in the North Sea and the North Atlantic and is generally much stronger in winter. In conclusion, this work shows that ocean-generated microseism is a significant bottleneck that must be addressed to achieve femtosecond bunch arrival time stability.

description: A tunable double optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) with a squeezed field is investigated in a system consisting of an optomechanical cavity coupled to a charged nanomechanical resonator via Coulomb interaction. Such a double OMIT can be achieved by adjusting the strength of the Coulomb interaction, and observed even with a single-photon squeezed field at finite temperature. Since it is robust against the cavity decay, but very sensitive to some parameters, such as the environmental temperature, the model under our consideration can be applied as a quantum thermometer for precision measurement of the environmental temperature within the reach of current techniques.

description: Radiation hydrodynamics (RHD) simulations are used to study many astrophysical phenomena, however they require the use of simplified radiation transport and thermal prescriptions to reduce computational cost. In this paper we present a systematic study of the importance of microphysical processes in RHD simulations using the example of D-type HII region expansion. We compare the simplest hydrogen-only models with those that include: ionisation of H, He, C, N, O, S and Ne, different gas metallicity, non-LTE metal line blanketed stellar spectral models of varying metallicity, radiation pressure, dust and treatment of photodissociation regions. Each of these processes are explicitly treated using modern numerical methods rather than parameterisation. In line with expectations, changes due to microphysics in either the effective number of ionising photons or the thermal structure of the gas lead to differences in D-type expansion. In general we find that more realistic calculations lead to the onset of D-type expansion at smaller radii and a slower subsequent expansion. Simulations of star forming regions using simplified microphysics are therefore likely overestimating the strength of radiative feedback. We find that both variations in gas metallicity and the inclusion of dust can affect the ionisation front evolution at the 10-20 per cent level over 500kyr, which could substantially modify the results of simplified 3D models including feedback. Stellar metallicity, radiation pressure and the inclusion of photodissociation regions are all less significant effects at the 1 per cent level or less, rendering them of minor importance in the modelling the dynamical evolution of HII regions.

Ultrasonic Pretreatment: Impact on Solubilization, Biogas Production and Kinetics of Anaerobic Digestion of Conventional and Biofilm Waste Sludges

description: Anaerobic digestion is a useful method for stabilizing and reducing the waste activated sludges (WAS) produced from biological secondary treatment. Pretreatments can make anaerobic digestion more efficient. However, the study of anaerobic digestion and pretreatments is limited to a focus in treating conventional WAS. Therefore, WAS from three non-conventional municipal wastewater treatment systems, a rotating biological contactor (RBC), a lagoon, and a moving bed bioreactor (MBBR), were digested anaerobically to determine the sludges’ biogas potentials compared to a conventional WAS. All three WAS had lower biogas potential normalized per volatile solids than conventional sludge by 46% + 6 (MBBR), 63% + 6 (RBC), and 77% + 7 (lagoon). The four sludges were pretreated with ultrasonic energies of 800 - 6550 kJ/kg TS to illustrate impact of sludge type on biogas production, solubilization, and digestion kinetics. All four sludge types responded uniquely to the same levels of sonication energies. The greatest increase in biogas production over the control of pretreated sludge did not coincide consistently with greater sonication energy but occurred within a solubilization range of 2.9 – 7.4% degree of disintegration (DD) and are as follows: 5% + 3 biogas increase for conventional sludge, 12% + 9 for lagoon, 15% + 2 for MBBR and 20% + 2 for RBC. The yield of biogas production related to soluble COD decreases with increased sonication energy. Hence it is likely that sonication produces refractory COD or causes inhibition in biogas production. The effect of sonication on digestion kinetics was inconclusive with the application of Modified Gompertz, Reaction Curve, and First Order models to biogas production. Diauxic growth patterns of biogas production of sonicated conventional waste demonstrates that the active time of digestion can be decreased through the conversion of less preferential substrates into existing, preferential substrates.

description: Teachers have to cope with two main changes. Firstly, they have experienced global technological change and the introduction of new technologies into the education system. Secondly, they have to cope with a new generation of pupils (Generation Z). This thesis argues that these changes necessitate a change in the role of the teacher. This research examines how teachers react to these changes. The main research question is “How do teachers conceive their role when they teach Generation Z pupils in a technological learning environment?”. The research focuses on a case study of a school on the northern periphery of the State of Israel. The research focused on the teachers of the “computer notebook” classes. The school supplies every pupil and every teacher a standard personal laptop while the teachers have been integrating the technology and applications into their lessons for the last twenty years. The data was collected by means of questionnaires (20); personal interviews (24); observations (8); and an analysis of relevant documents. The research compares the category of the “traditional teacher” with that of the “technological teacher”. It finds that (a) teachers view the the two roles of traditional and technological teacher as distinct; (b) they recognise a wide variety of technological changes that influence the education system; and (c) they believe that the present pupil generation (Generation Z) requires a new approach to study in contrast with previous generations of pupils. The research shows that in response to the changes described above, the teachers have changed their perspective through the use of the new technologies and define their role in three dimensions (pedagogical, interpersonal, and technological) and indicate that there are 11 skills and abilities required for the technological teacher. However, the research also found that despite the extensive experience of the teachers in using the new technologies, there is no confidence in realising the full potential inherent in these tools. In particular, the opportunity for cooperative learning which is offered by online technologies is not always exploited efficiently. Moreover, the research found that the challenges and barriers in the application of the new pedagogy in the technological learning environment. The contribution of this research is both theoretical and practical. The theoretical contribution of the research is in the characterisation of the pedagogical, interpersonal and technological dimensions that constitute the role of the “technological teacher”. The practical contribution of the research is detailed in the series of recommendations made in relation to the development of schools and the training and continuing professional development of teachers.

description: L’etica della cura ha assunto un ruolo sempre più importante nel dibattito contemporaneo, sebbene il concetto di cura abbia origini antiche, che risalgono alla stessa filosofia greca. L’articolo intende soffermarsi su due autori particolarmente seguiti dall’odierna filosofia morale, Socrate e Aristotele. Il primo, artefice del momento fondativo della cura, l’ha intesa in senso orientativo e dialogico-relazionale; il secondo invece ha enfatizzato un aspetto della natura umana a lungo nascosto o negato dal pensiero antropocentrico moderno: la vulnerabilità. Proprio questo aspetto è stato oggetto della recente riflessione della filosofia americana Martha Nussbaum e del suo celebre  Capabilites Approch.

The Ethics of care has gained more and more importance in the contemporary debate, although the concept of care has ancient origins, going back to Greek philosophy itself. The article intends to focus on two authors especially followed by today’s moral philosophy, Socrates and Aristotle. Socrates, the founder of care, considered it in an orientative and dialogical-relational sense; Aristotle, on the other hand, emphasized an aspect of human nature long hidden or denied by modern anthropocentric thought: vulnerability. It is precisely on this aspect that the recent analysis of the American philosopher Martha Nussbaum and her famous Capabilites Approach has focused.

Year: 2015

description: Multivariate time series present many challenges, especially when they are high dimensional. The paper's focus is twofold. First, we address the subject of consistently estimating the autocovariance sequence; this is a sequence of matrices that we conveniently stack into one huge matrix. We are then able to show consistency of an estimator based on the so-called flat-top tapers; most importantly, the consistency holds true even when the time series dimension is allowed to increase with the sample size. Second, we revisit the linear process bootstrap (LPB) procedure proposed by McMurry and Politis [J. Time Series Anal. 31 (2010) 471-482] for univariate time series. Based on the aforementioned stacked autocovariance matrix estimator, we are able to define a version of the LPB that is valid for multivariate time series. Under rather general assumptions, we show that our multivariate linear process bootstrap (MLPB) has asymptotic validity for the sample mean in two important cases: (a) when the time series dimension is fixed and (b) when it is allowed to increase with sample size. As an aside, in case (a) we show that the MLPB works also for spectral density estimators which is a novel result even in the univariate case. We conclude with a simulation study that demonstrates the superiority of the MLPB in some important cases.

description: The international community has long relied on United Nations (UN) peace operations as the means of creating and maintaining international peace and security, however the realities of what a “successful” mission looks like remains obscured, as the experiences and definitions of success may differ between the various players involved. While a shared definition of success and operational structure remains elusive, it is clear that the assessment of UN missions must be conducted in a holistic manner, from mandate crafting, to mission transition and exit. Among these realities is that the assessment of UN peace operation success is all too often hindered by political partiality with the determination of mission success frequently held hostage by faulty political processes. It is essential that evaluative frameworks encompass the various stages of a peace operation, in order to illustrate the political challenges that often obstruct the planning and assessment of a UN mission. Highlighting the political obstacles associated with holistic mission planning and assessment, against the backdrop of ongoing, ad hoc UN peace operation deployments to Haiti, breaks down existing normative positions and exposes the realities and voids in current methodology.
HOPE for Girls: A 10-week, 10-session curriculum for junior high school-aged girls providing hands-on education for healthy eating, healthy activity, and healthy living.

description: HOPE for Girls is a 10-week, 10-session curriculum designed for junior high school-aged girls (12-14 years old) in underserved communities of eastern North Carolina. The focus of the curriculum is to educate girls at-risk for overweight or obesity about healthy living, including healthy eating habits and physical activity. In the course of 10 sessions, girls will learn how to increase fruit and vegetable intake; reduce sodium, added sugars, and ‘bad’ fats; set achievable health-, school-, and family-related goals; and add physical activity to their daily routines. The format for this curriculum was derived from an existing adult curriculum, called Seeds of HOPE, which was implemented in eastern North Carolina counties as part of a UNC Health Promotion Disease Prevention community-based participatory research project. The concept for this curriculum is that, when administered to a younger audience, also in eastern NC, it will be able to have a greater impact on the rates of obesity in underserved communities.

description: Most of the systematic studies done on the priesthood in North America in the last fifty years were conducted in the United States. To date, no such study exists in Canada. By replicating many of the questions used in the 2009 study of the priesthood by Mary Gautier et al., this researcher investigated the experiences and trends in priestly life and ministry within the Canadian context. This research was conducted based on the researcher's conviction that there are many challenges and opportunities facing the priesthood and pastoral ministry in the ecclesiastical province of Kingston since the close of the Second Vatican Council. This project explores the experiences of priests in ministry within this province in order to establish these challenges and opportunities in pastoral ministry. The aim is to offer some necessary insights, pathways, and benchmarks to be considered in the possible revision of the ministry of the ordained in the four dioceses that make up the ecclesiastical province of Kingston. The result of this study, obtained after a careful analysis of the data collected through surveys and follow-up interviews reveals the existence of some changes in the social characteristics of priests in ministry in the ecclesiastical province of Kingston. The experiences of priests in the study also indicate that priests in ministry face significant challenges and problems in the exercise of their ministry. However, irrespective of these challenges and problems, this research also finds that ministry in today's Church presents enormous opportunities for growth and development, especially in the area of lay ministry. The study findings and recommendations will assist the local churches and the local bishops to meet their pastoral responsibilities and duties toward ordained and lay ministry in the Church.

We consider such corrections and present a calculation of the four-loop light-by-light-type corrections where the external photon couples to a closed electron or muon loop. We perform an asymptotic expansion in the ratio of electron and muon mass and reduce the resulting integrals to master integrals which we evaluate using analytical and numerical methods. We confirm the results present in the literature which are based on different computational methods.

description: Several insect species can use the amino acid proline as a major energy substrate, a unique characteristic of these animals. Although initially thought to be limited to blood feeding dipterans, studies revealed this capability may be more widespread. Recent work showed that the bumblebee Bombus impatiens can oxidize proline at a high rate, as measured using isolated flight muscle. However, its role as a metabolic fuel to power flight is unclear. To elucidate the extent to which proline is oxidized to power flight and how its contribution changes during flight, metabolites of central carbon and proline metabolism were profiled at key time points in hemolymph and flight muscle tissue. Analysis using UPLC-MS-QTOF has revealed trends in fuel use and changes in pathway metabolites. Of 29 targeted metabolites, 18 were detected in flight muscle tissue. Two flight experiments were conducted and concentrations of metabolites at the end of prolonged flight are similar to those at rest, or have decreased significantly. In total, 14 of 19 metabolites significantly changed in concentration. The results correspond to a model of fuel use during flight, which states that proline is oxidized at the onset of flight, then carbohydrates take over as the main fuel, accompanied by a decrease in glycogen. By 8 minutes of flight, metabolite concentrations stabilize and flight performance does not change. Patterns in metabolite fluctuations suggest proline is used to supplement the Krebs cycle, and carbohydrates are the main fuel, maintained by glycogen stores. This indicates homeostatic regulation of intermediates and replenishment of fuels, or depletion of fuels due to their recruitment for ATP generation. This targeted metabolomics approach will clarify the role of proline and carbohydrate metabolism and pathway regulation during flight in B. impatiens.

description: In this work we present Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 micron secondary eclipse observations of five new cool (<1200 K) transiting gas giant planets: HAT-P-19b, WASP-6b, WASP-10b, WASP-39b, and WASP-67b. We compare our measured eclipse depths to the predictions of a suite of atmosphere models and to eclipse depths for planets with previously published observations in order to constrain the temperature- and mass-dependent properties of gas giant planet atmospheres. We find that the dayside emission spectra of planets less massive than Jupiter require models with efficient circulation of energy to the night side and/or increased albedos, while those with masses greater than that of Jupiter are consistently best-matched by models with inefficient circulation and low albedos. At these relatively low temperatures we expect the atmospheric methane to CO ratio to vary as a function of metallicity, and we therefore use our observations of these planets to constrain their atmospheric metallicities. We find that the most massive planets have dayside emission spectra that are best-matched by solar metallicity atmosphere models, but we are not able to place strong constraints on metallicities of the smaller planets in our sample. Interestingly, we find that the ratio of the 3.6 and 4.5 micron brightness temperatures for these cool transiting planets is independent of planet temperature, and instead exhibits a tentative correlation with planet mass. If this trend can be confirmed, it would suggest that the shape of these planets' emission spectra depends primarily on their masses, consistent with the hypothesis that lower-mass planets are more likely to have metal-rich atmospheres.

description: Titanium dioxide, TiO$_2$, is a refractory species that could play a crucial role in the dust-condensation sequence around oxygen-rich evolved stars. To date, gas phase TiO$_2$ has been detected only in the complex environment of the red supergiant VY CMa. We aim to constrain the distribution and excitation of TiO$_2$ around VY CMa in order to clarify its role in dust formation. We analyse spectra and channel maps for TiO$_2$ extracted from ALMA science verification data. We detect 15 transitions of TiO$_2$, and spatially resolve the emission for the first time. The maps demonstrate a highly clumpy, anisotropic outflow in which the TiO$_2$ emission likely traces gas exposed to the stellar radiation field. A roughly east-west oriented, accelerating bipolar-like structure is found, of which the blue component runs into and breaks up around a solid continuum component. A distinct tail to the south-west is seen for some transitions, consistent with features seen in the optical and near-infrared. We find that a significant fraction of TiO$_2$ remains in the gas phase outside the dust-formation zone and suggest that this species might play only a minor role in the dust-condensation process around extreme oxygen-rich evolved stars like VY CMa.

Testing the Curatorial in Artists’ Film and Video Installation
Creators: name: Maziere, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This PhD by published work critically examines ten years of curatorial practice in the field of artists' film and video by the author. The aim of the thesis and publications is to question and challenge the contemporary integration of artists’ film and video installation into the language of the visual arts, the context of the white cube and the privileged definitions of curatorial practice. This PhD also places these questions in a historical context, taking into account the early and often overlooked developments of artists’ film and video exhibition. This research was carried our through individual curatorial projects in the field by scrutinising specific constituent parts of artists’ film and video installation such as the screen, time, space, image, projection, site and audience. The curated exhibitions (the Projects) all took place at Ambika P3, a large postindustrial venue converted into a project space for this purpose in 2007. Each project manipulated these constituent elements and built on them in order to provide new artists’ commissions under the rigour of an experimental and research-led approach. Through this commissioning process, this research developed new collaborative models of curatorial practice, examined and identified key critical areas of curatorial and artistic practice which have been overlooked by critics, writers, curators and the public and proposed new forms of artists’ film and video exhibition. This testing of the boundaries of artist’s film and video installation demonstrated that both the history and context of the practice is engaged with a broad range of paradigms inherited from cinema, sculpture and site specific practice. Furthermore it established that curation is a collective practice engaging numerous participants according to the needs and requirements of each project. The projects revealed that a self reflexive and historically aware approach to curating artists’ film and video can deliver innovative and immersive works outside of the white cube, through an attention to materials, site and form. Through the publications and the commentary it is shown that a critical, collective and process based curatorial practice, attentive to context and its origins expands both the language and the power of the exhibited work.
The zero-sum fallacy in evidence evaluation
Creators: name: Pilditch, Toby

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: There are many instances, both in professional domains such as law, forensics, and medicine, and in everyday life, where an effect (e.g. a piece of evidence or event) has multiple possible causes. In three experiments we demonstrate that individuals erroneously assume that evidence which is equally predicted by two competing hypotheses offers no support for either hypothesis. However, this assumption only holds in cases where competing causes are mutually exclusive and exhaustive (i.e. exactly one cause is true). We argue this reasoning error is due to a zero-sum perspective on evidence, wherein people assume that evidence which supports one causal hypothesis must disconfirm its competitor. Thus, evidence cannot give positive support to both competitors. Across three experiments (N = 49; N = 193; N = 201) we demonstrate this error is robust to intervention and generalizes across several different contexts. We also rule out several alternative explanations of the bias.
Conspiratorial beliefs observed through entropy principles

description: We propose a novel approach framed in terms of information theory and entropy to tackle the issue of conspiracy theories propagation. We start with the report of an event (such as 9/11 terroristic attack) represented as a series of individual strings of information denoted respectively by two-state variable Ei=+/-1, i=1,..., N. Assigning Ei value to all strings, the initial order parameter and entropy are determined. Conspiracy theorists comment on the report, focusing repeatedly on several strings Ek and changing their meaning (from -1 to +1). The reading of the event is turned fuzzy with an increased entropy value. Beyond some threshold value of entropy, chosen by simplicity to its maximum value, meaning N/2 variables with Ei=1, doubt prevails in the reading of the event and the chance is created that an alternative theory might prevail. Therefore, the evolution of the associated entropy is a way to measure the degree of penetration of a conspiracy theory. Our general framework relies on online content made voluntarily available by crowds of people, in response to some news or blog articles published by official news agencies. We apply different aggregation levels (comment, person, discussion thread) and discuss the associated patterns of entropy change.

Religious dialogue as a peace building tool between India and Pakistan : the Ulema as peace builders

description: Religion played a critical role in the creation of the State of Pakistan. However, religious dialogue has never been considered as a means of peace building between India and Pakistan. This dissertation probes the rationale and possibility of religious dialogue as a peace-building tool between the two countries. It identifies the ulema as cross-border actors who are best suited to communicate on this subject and probes the nature of religious dialogue between Indian and Pakistani ulema on the topic of peaceful coexistence between Hindus and Muslims. Ethnographic research of the Indian ulema reveals that the community is socially, politically, and ideologically fragmented. Although there has been no interreligious dialogue between the ulema of the two countries, they jointly participated in two international peace conferences in India. Also, as nonstate religious actors, the Indian ulema have developed a syncretic culture with the Hindu community and can initiate religious dialogue with their Pakistani counterparts. This offers scope for religious peace building between the two countries, shifting the dialogue from an India–Pakistan framework to a Hindu–Muslim framework. The religion in international relations theory, which identifies religion as the blind spot in international relations, lends support to such a dialogue. Strongly supported by the international relations theories of neoliberalism and constructivism, religious peace building offers opportunity for hope and experimentation. By aiming to reduce the trust deficit associated with a Hindu–Muslim civilizational cleavage, religious peace building fills a gap in the literature on India–Pakistan relations. However, the feasibility of religious dialogue, which looks weak, completely hinges on the ulema’s capacity to rise above preoccupations, personal ambitions, and disunity.
Dark Matter in Leptophilic Higgs Models After the LHC Run-I

description: We examine the leptophilic two Higgs doublet model with fermionic dark matter, considering the range of experimental constraints on the Higgs sector. The measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs from the LHC Run-I allow us to focus on those remaining processes that may play an important role at colliders. We find that the leptophilic model allows for a much lighter Higgs than in other two-Higgs models, although discovery at the LHC will be difficult. Adding a dark matter sector motivated by supersymmetric extensions of the leptophilic model, we find the existing parameter space can accommodate constraints from direct detection and the invisible widths of the Higgs and $Z$, while also fitting the Galactic Center gamma ray excess reported by analyses of Fermi-LAT data. We also discuss the status of the fully supersymmetric version of such models, which include four Higgs doublets and a natural dark matter candidate.
