description: Η παρούσα διατριβή συνεισφέρει σε τρία επίπεδα στην έρευνα της Διάχυτης Νοημοσύνης και των τεχνολογιών των Υπηρεσιών Ιστού. Στο πρώτο επίπεδο, αναπτύχθηκε ένα ενδιάμεσο λογισμικό Υπηρεσιών Ιστού, το aWESoME, για την ολοκλήρωση και την ενσωμάτωση αισθητήρων και οργάνων δράσης, που αφορούν την ενέργεια και τις περιβαλλοντικές συνθήκες. Στο δεύτερο επίπεδο, το ενδιάμεσο λογισμικό εμπλουτίζεται με σημασιολογικές περιγραφές SAWSDL με την ανάπτυξη του εργαλείου σημασιολογικής επισήμανσης, Iridescent, και της διαδικτυακής εφαρμογής σημασιολογικής ταυτοποίησης και σύνθεσης, Tomaco. Ειδικά, ο αλγόριθμος ταυτοποίησης κατατάχθηκε πρώτος σε macro-averaging precision ανάμεσα στους δημοφιλέστερους αλγορίθμους. Στο ανώτερο επίπεδο του Έξυπνου Κτιρίου απαντώνται οι εφαρμογές παρακολούθησης και διαχείρισης, που επιτρέπουν στους χρήστες να κατανοήσουν πλήρως την κατάσταση του κτιρίου, και ευφυείς πράκτορες, που κατάφεραν να εξοικονομήσουν 16% της ημερήσιας κατανάλωσης ενός δωματίου κατά την πιλοτική τους εφαρμογή.
description: The thesis presents various contributions in both the fields of Ambient Intelligence and Web Services, following a three-layer approach. The first layer targets the integration of various sensor and actuator networks for energy and environmental parameters, through a Web Service middleware, named aWESoME. On the second layer, the middleware is enriched with semantic annotations in SAWSDL, by developing the Iridescent tool for semantic annotations and the Tomaco web application for semantic matching and composition. Notably, Tomaco’s matching algorithm has ranked first in macro-averaging precision amongst state-of-the-art. The top-most layer of the proposed Smart Building system hosts monitoring and management applications that provide in-depth analytics and intelligent, autonomous agents that, during pilot evaluation, have managed to reduce daily energy consumption of a single office by 16%.

description: We compute, to the lowest perturbative order in $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory, $n$-point correlators in the coordinate and momentum representation of the gauge-invariant twist-$2$ operators with maximal spin along the $p_+$ direction, both in Minkowskian and -- by analytic continuation -- Euclidean space-time. We also construct the corresponding generating functionals. Remarkably, they have the structure of the logarithm of a functional determinant of the identity plus a term involving the effective propagators that act on the appropriate source fields.

description: The standard cosmological model is based on general relativity and includes dark matter and dark energy. An important prediction of this model is a fixed relationship between the gravitational potentials responsible for gravitational lensing and the matter overdensity. Alternative theories of gravity often make different predictions for this relationship. We propose a set of measurements which can test the lensing/matter relationship, thereby distinguishing between dark energy/matter models and models in which gravity differs from general relativity. Planned optical, infrared and radio galaxy and lensing surveys will be able to measure $E_G$, an observational quantity whose expectation value is equal to the ratio of the Laplacian of the Newtonian potentials to the peculiar velocity divergence, to percent accuracy. We show that this will easily separate alternatives such as $Λ$CDM, DGP, TeVeS and $f(R)$ gravity.

description: Relaxor ferroelectric PbMg_1/3Ta_2/3O_3 ceramics and thin films were investigated by means of broad-band dielectric, time-domain terahertz (THz) and Fourier-transform infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the frequency range 100 Hz - 90 THz at temperatures 100 - 490 K, the THz and IR spectra were studied from 20 to 900K. Diffused and strongly temperature dependent peak in the complex permittivity is caused by a dielectric relaxation due to the dynamics of polar clusters. The relaxation appears below Burns temperature T_d in the THz range, slows down on cooling through the microwave and MHz range and anomalously broadens. The shortest and longest relaxation times of the distribution of relaxation times follow Arrhenius and Vogel-Fulcher law, respectively. The degree of B-site order has only a small influence on the parameters of the dielectric relaxation and almost no influence on the phonon parameters. Below T_m ~ 180K, the distribution of relaxation frequencies becomes broader than our experimental spectral range and frequency independent dielectric losses develop below 100 GHz in the spectra. Although the macroscopic crystal structure is cubic, IR spectra give evidence about the lower local symmetry which can be assigned to the presence of polar clusters below T_d. Infrared spectra above T_d still reveal more modes than predicted by selection rules in the paraelectric phase of the Fm-3m space group so that we suggest selection rules which take into account chemical inhomogeneity in the beta''-perovskite sublattice.

An experimental study to compare the effectiveness of individual and group preoperative instruction
Creators: name: Baines, Chinnama
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of individual and group preoperative instruction in deep breathing, coughing, and bed exercises. The major questions asked in this study were: Is group preoperative instruction in deep breathing, coughing, and bed exercises as effective as individual instruction, as measured by the postoperative performance of exercises, the incidence of postoperative complications, and the length of hospital stay? Is there a relationship between one or more of the selected characteristics of the subjects (age, sex, smoking habits, weight and type of incision) and the effectiveness of individual and group preoperative instruction as measured by the above variables? Using one surgical floor of a general hospital, sixty adult surgical patients who met the criteria of the study, were alternately assigned by week to either individual or group preoperative instruction. Structured instruction in deep breathing, coughing, and bed exercises was instituted by the investigator and the preoperative teaching nurse with the assistance of a booklet. The data were collected by means of the patient profile sheet and the evaluation guide of performance tool. The null hypotheses of the study were tested by means of t test and chi-square test of significance. The results revealed no significant difference between the effectiveness of individual and group preoperative instruction. The null hypotheses were accepted with p = .05. On determining the relationship between the selected characteristics of the subjects and the effectiveness of individual and group instruction, no significant results were obtained. The results were similar in individual and group instruction. The major conclusions drawn from the findings of the study were: group preoperative instruction in deep breathing, coughing, and bed exercises is as effective as individual instruction; and group instruction is as effective as individual instruction for subjects, regardless of their age. It is implied from the findings of the study that, group preoperative instruction should be tried out in hospitals; and schools of nursing should include in their curriculum, the dynamics of small group method. A number of recommendations for future investigations were suggested.

Soft mode theory of ferroelectric phase transitions in the low-temperature phase

description: Historically, the soft mode theory of ferroelectric phase transitions has been developed for the high-temperature (paraelectric) phase, where the phonon mode softens upon decreasing the temperature. In the low-temperature ferroelectric phase, a similar phonon softening occurs, also leading to a bosonic condensation of the frozen-in mode at the transition, but in this case the phonon softening occurs upon increasing the temperature. Here we present a soft mode theory of ferroelectric and displacive phase transitions by describing what happens in the low-temperature phase in terms of phonon softening and instability. A new derivation of the generalized Lyddane-Sachs-Teller (LST) relation for materials with strong anharmonic phonon damping is also presented which leads to the expression $\varepsilon_{0}/\varepsilon_{\infty}=|ω_{LO}|^{2}/|ω_{TO}|^{2}$. The theory provides a microscopic expression for $T_c$ as a function of physical parameters, including the mode specific Grüneisen parameter. The theory also shows that $ω_{TO} \sim (T_{c}-T)^{1/2}$, and again specifies the prefactors in terms of Grüneisen parameter and fundamental physical constants. Using the generalized LST relation, the softening of the TO mode leads to the divergence of $ε_0$ and to a polarization catastrophe at $T_c$. A quantitative microscopic form of the Curie-Weiss law is derived with prefactors that depend on microscopic physical parameters.

Le opere digitali, purché caratterizzate da un contenuto creativo minimo, sono protette dalla legge sul diritto d’autore come opere dell’ingegno. L’avvento del web ha tuttavia modificato lo scenario in cui i lavoratori realizzano le opere, i modelli economici, le figure giuridiche di riferimento, i beni giuridici e lo stesso paradigma autoriale. La figura che si ricava dalla legge sul diritto d’autore è infatti differente da quella, più simile a forme di autorialità proprie di epoche e culture diverse, dei lavoratori del web.

In questo contesto, l’A. auspica una ridefinizione dell’assetto giuridico dei rapporti e delle tutele per i contenuti digitali creativi prodotti sul web attraverso un ripensamento del rapporto tra autore e opera.

description: Variability of pesticide residues among food items is very important for consumer food safety evaluation and risk assessment. To estimate the residue variability of selected pesticides in individual food items of medium (eggplant) and large size vegetable commodities (cabbage, cauliflower and melon) an effective multi-residue method is required. Therefore, four multi-residue methods have been developed and validated by employing the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction technique coupled with liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of thirteen pesticides in/on eggplant, ten pesticides in melon, and seven pesticides in/on cabbage and cauliflower, respectively. All the methods are simple, efficient, easy, accurate, and rapid.
title: Experimental studies of behavioural flexibility and cultural transmission in chimpanzees and children
Creators: name: Harrison, Rachel Anne
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis, I explore two subjects of importance to the study of cultural evolution and cumulative culture; behavioural flexibility in chimpanzees, and social transmission in human children. In Chapter 1, I give an overview of current literature on the cognitive requirements of cumulative culture, with a focus on behavioural flexibility as a capacity which facilitates cumulative culture. I also explore a current discussion in the field of cultural evolution; namely the debate between “standard” and cultural attraction-based approaches to the study of cultural evolution. Chapter 2 is an experimental investigation of the capacity of chimpanzees to respond flexibly to a changing foraging task. This study found that chimpanzees did alter their behaviour, but to a limited degree. In Chapter 3 I provide the same artificial foraging task to two further groups of chimpanzees, at a sanctuary in Zambia. This study again found that chimpanzees altered their behaviour in response to task constraints, but also found a significant difference in performance between the two groups tested. Chapter 4 explores one potential factor which may contribute to these group differences; social tolerance. Data on social tolerance from all three groups of chimpanzees is presented. In Chapter 5, I turn to another key factor in the study of culture and also address the cultural attraction approach, by conducting a transmission chain study of four- to eight-year-old human children, comparing the transmission of a symbolic and non-symbolic image. I found that neither image was reliably transmitted along transmission chains. Finally, in Chapter 6, I discuss the findings of the thesis, and suggest that future work considers multiple demographic groups, whether this means the inclusion of multiple groups of apes in studies of non-human primate cognition, or the consideration of how cultural behaviours might be transformed when transmitted by human children rather than adults.
Importance of tidal resonances in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals

description: Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) will be important sources for future space-based gravitational-wave detectors. In recent work, tidal resonances in binary orbital evolution induced by the tidal field of nearby stars or black holes have been identified as being potentially significant in the context of extreme mass-ratio inspirals. These resonances occur when the three orbital frequencies describing the orbit are commensurate. During the resonance, the orbital parameters of the small body experience a jump leading to a shift in the phase of the gravitational waveform. In this paper, we treat the tidal perturber as stationary and restricted to the equatorial plane, and present a first study of how common and important such resonances are over the entire orbital parameter space. We find that a large proportion of inspirals encounter a low-order resonance in the observationally important regime. While the instantaneous effect of a tidal resonance is small, its effect on the accumulated phase of the gravitational waveform of an EMRI system can be significant due to its many cycles in band; we estimate that the effect is detectable for a significant fraction of sources. We also provide fitting formulae for the induced change in the constants of motion of the orbit due to the tidal resonance for several low-order resonances.

description: We obtain a first order differential equation for the driving function of the chordal Loewner differential equation in the case where the domain is slit by a curve which is a trajectory arc of certain quadratic differentials. In particular this includes the case when the curve is a path on the square, triangle or hexagonal lattice in the upper halfplane or, indeed, in any domain with boundary on the lattice. We also demonstrate how we use this to calculate the driving function numerically. Equivalent results for other variants of the Loewner differential equation are also obtained: Multiple slits in the chordal Loewner differential equation and the radial Loewner differential equation. The method also works for other versions of the Loewner differential equation. The proof of our formula uses a generalization of Schwarz-Christoffel mapping to domains bounded by trajectory arcs of rotations of a given quadratic differential that is of interest in its own right.

description: The interplay between the spin-orbit and Zeeman interactions acting on a spinful Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model is studied based on an InAs nanowire subjected to a periodic gate potential along the axial direction. It is shown that a nontrivial topological phase can be achieved by regulating the confining-potential configuration. In the absence of the Zeeman field, we prove that the topology of the chain is not affected by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction due to the persisting chiral symmetry. The energies of the edge modes can be manipulated by varying the magnitude and direction of the external magnetic field. Remarkably, the joint effect of the two spin-related interactions leads to novel edge states that appear in the gap formed by the anti-crossing of the bands of a finite spinful dimerized chain, and can be merged into the bulk states by tilting the magnetic-field direction.
Super-Eddington accretion onto a stellar mass ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4190 ULX1

description: We present the results of high-quality XMM-NEWTON observations of a ULX in the galaxy NGC 4190. The detection of spectral cutoff in NGC 4190 ULX1 spectra rules out the interpretation of the ULX to be in a standard low/hard canonical accretion state. We report that the high quality EPIC spectra can be better described by broad thermal component, such as a slim disk. In addition we found long term spectral and flux variability in the source using several XMM-NEWTON and Swift data. A clear anti-correlation between flux and power-law photon index is found which further confirms the unusual spectral state evolution of the ULX. Spectral properties of the ULX suggest that the source is in a broadened disk state with luminosities ($\approx (3-10) \times 10^{39}$ ergs s$^{-1}$) falling in the ultraluminous regime. The positive Luminosity-temperature relation further suggests that the multi color disk model follows the $L \propto T^4$ relation which is expected for a black body disk emission from a constant area and the slim disk model seems to favour $L \propto T^2$ relation consistent with an advection dominated disk emission . From the broadened disk like spectral feature at such luminosity, we estimated the upper limit of the mass of the central compact object from the inner disk radius and found that the ULX hosts a stellar mass black hole.

Neutrino mixings and magnetic moments due to Planck scale effects

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we consider the effect of Planck scale operators on neutrino magnetic moments. We assume that the main part of neutrino masses and mixings arise through GUT scale operators. We further assume that additional discrete symmetries make the neutrino mixing bi-maximal. Quantum gravitational (Planck scale) effects lead to an effective $SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)$ invariant dimension-5 Lagrangian involving neutrino and Higgs fields, which gives rise to additional terms in neutrino mass matrix. These additional terms can be considered to be perturbation of the GUT scale bi-maximal neutrino mass matrix. We assume that the gravitational interaction is flavour blind and we study the neutrino mixings and magnetic moments due to the physics above the GUT scale.

description: L’école est une instance importante de socialisation où les représentations de genre des élèves se construisent. En tant qu’enseignant·e, notre rôle est de veiller à ce que l’environnement scolaire soit un lieu propice au développement de l’identité de chacun·e. Cela passe notamment par la sensibilisation des élèves aux inégalités auxquelles elles et ils pourront être confronté·e·s à l’avenir. Notre travail de recherche de mémoire porte donc sur la thématique des inégalités de genre au sein de notre société. Plus particulièrement, nous nous sommes intéressées aux connaissances et perceptions des élèves sur ce sujet. Notre étude s’est principalement concentrée sur trois thèmes : les inégalités dans la formation, au sein de la sphère professionnelle et au niveau des tâches domestiques. Concrètement, nous avons mis en place des activités en mathématiques pour sensibiliser les élèves. Afin de déterminer leur impact, nous avons interrogé les élèves à deux reprises : avant et après les activités. La population étudiée correspond à deux classes de 9VP du canton de Vaud. Les principaux résultats de notre recherche montrent qu’environ la moitié des élèves sondé·e·s vivent dans une famille au schéma traditionnel. Cela suggère que l’autre moitié des élèves vit dans une organisation familiale différente où les rôles des parents ne suivent pas les stéréotypes. Ainsi, le schéma classique stéréotypé ne représente pas une majorité écrasante. Une réorganisation des rôles parentaux semble s’opérer, indiquant un détachement progressif des stéréotypes familiaux. Concernant les résultats pour les thèmes de la formation et la vie professionnelle, il semblerait que les élèves aient peu de connaissances à ces sujets au début de la recherche, ces deux concepts étant éloignés de leurs préoccupations actuelles. Nous avons observé que les activités mises en place en classe ont eu un léger effet sur notre population testée. En effet, seules les filles de notre échantillon semblent avoir fait évoluer leurs représentations à propos de la thématique de la vie professionnelle.

description: The aim of the thesis was to fill a gap in the global literature on church history of the Serbian church and the relationship that the Serbian church had with other churches, but mainly Greek-speaking ones. Gabriel Dozic Montenegrin descent elected Metropolitan Rskoprisrenis in December 1911 and Metropolitan Pec (Pec) in November 1913, while he was also elected Metropolitan in Montenegro in November 1920. As Metropolitan Pec, he was elected president of the Montenegrin delegation and was holding talks for the union of Montenegro with the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and the churches. He was elected Patriarch of Serbia in February 1938. On April 25th of 1941 he was captured by the Germans and after a long period of captivity in the country on September 14th of 1944, he was transferred to the Dachau camp captivity. He was released on May 8th of 1945 and returned to Belgrade on April 8th of 1946. He died on May 7th of 1950 as the state of his health was burdened. New patriarch was elected Bishop Vincent.

description: A geometric approach to quantum mechanics with unitary evolution and non-unitary collapse processes is developed. In this approach the Schrodinger evolution of a quantum system is a geodesic motion on the space of states of the system furnished with an appropriate Riemannian metric. The measuring device is modeled by a perturbation of the metric. The process of measurement is identified with a geodesic motion of state of the system in the perturbed metric. Under the assumption of random fluctuations of the perturbed metric, the Born rule for probabilities of collapse is derived. The approach is applied to a two-level quantum system to obtain a simple geometric interpretation of quantum commutators, the uncertainty principle and Planck's constant. In light of this, a lucid analysis of the double-slit experiment with collapse and an experiment on a pair of entangled particles is presented.

description: Gratitude-based interventions are effective in facilitating positive relationships and increasing life satisfaction. However, for some individuals (e.g., with high levels of depression and low trait-gratitude) gratitude expression is threatening and rarely undertaken spontaneously. In this study, we expected to replicate this gratitude expression threat effect. Moreover, we aimed to understand psychophysiological mechanisms of this effect by accounting for cognitive, motivational and physiological responses to gratitude expression in line with the biopsychosocial model of challenge and threat. One hundred ninety-six students (51% women) between the ages of 18 and 31 years old (M = 21.20, SD = 2.08) reported personality measures and completed a laboratory session where they expressed gratitude via text messages after reporting evaluation and motivation towards the task. Their cardiovascular reactivity was monitored continuously. After the session, participants were invited to continue a gratitude intervention for the next three weeks. We found that individuals with higher depression and lower trait-gratitude were less likely to initiate gratitude intervention. This effect was mediated by a cardiovascular marker of threat (total peripheral resistance) that inhibited motivation and behavior. In summary, we replicated and provided further evidence for the role of personality traits in predicting aversive responses to gratitude expression via interventions. These findings contribute to the person-activity fit recommendations.

description: Although topological artificial systems, like acoustic/photonic crystals and cold atoms in optical lattices were initially motivated by simulating topological phases of electronic systems, they have their own unique features such as the spinless time-reversal symmetry and tunable $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge fields. Hence, it is fundamentally important to explore new topological phases based on their unique features. Here, we point out that the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge field leads to two fundamental modifications of the conventional $k\cdot p$ method: (i) The little co-group must include the translations with nontrivial algebraic relations; (ii) The algebraic relations of the little co-group are projectively represented. These give rise to higher-dimensional irreducible representations and therefore highly degenerate Fermi points. Breaking the primitive translations can transform the Fermi points to interesting topological phases. We demonstrate our theory by two models: a rectangular $π$-flux model exhibiting graphene-like semimetal phases, and a graphite model with interlayer $π$ flux that realizes the real second-order nodal-line semimetal phase with hinge helical modes. Their physical realizations with a general bright-dark mechanism are discussed. Our finding opens a new direction to explore novel topological phases unique to artificial systems and establishes the approach to analyze these phases.

description: We analyze the deviations of the mixing induced CP asymmetry in B-->phi Ks from sin(2beta), as well as the deviations of the asymmetries in Bs-->K*K*, Bs-->phi K* and Bs-->phi phi from sin(2beta_s), that arise in SM due to penguin pollution. We use a theoretical input which is short-distance dominated in QCD-factorization and thus free of IR-divergencies. We also provide alternative ways to extract angles of the unitarity triangle from penguin-mediated decays, and give predictions for Bs-->K*K* observables.

Acquisition of photographs : determining archival quality
Creators: name: Carroll, Ann Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the collection or acquisition of photographs by archives. It focuses on those documents which are not generated by the archives' sponsoring institution but are potentially archival. The thesis identifies the characteristics of archival documents by which archivists can judge the archival quality of photographs and thus their suitability for acquisition. Such documents form organic collections which have been set aside by their creator and responsibly cared for. These characteristics are drawn from the theories formulated by European archivists, Sir Hilary Jenkinson, S. Muller, J.A. Feith, R. Fruin, Eugenio Casanova, and American archivists, Theodore Schellenberg and Lester Cappon. This paper also examines the question of whether archives should establish a separate collections policy for photographs. Conservation, description and copyright implications posed by photographs suggest this as a plausible procedure to take. However, the integrity of collections and their increasingly multi-media nature suggest otherwise. Archival documents should not be collected focussing on the form of the record, but rather as forming part of the total documentation of their creator.
Bayesian inference for stochastic processes
Creators: name: Malory, Sean
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis builds upon two strands of recent research related to conducting Bayesian inference for stochastic processes. Firstly, this thesis will introduce a new residual-bridge proposal for approximately simulating conditioned diffusions formed by applying the modified diffusion bridge approximation of Durham and Gallant, 2002 to the difference between the true diffusion and a second, approximate, diffusion driven by the same Brownian motion. This new proposal attempts to account for volatilities which are not constant and can, therefore, lead to gains in efficiency over recently proposed residual-bridge constructs (Whitaker et al., 2017) in situations where the volatility varies considerably, as is often the case for larger interobservation times and for time-inhomogeneous volatilities. These gains in efficiency are illustrated via a simulation study for three diffusions; the Birth-Death (BD) diffusion, the Lotka-Volterra (LV) diffusion, and a diffusion corresponding to a simple model of gene expression (GE). Secondly, this thesis will introduce two new classes of Markov Chain Monte Carlo samplers, named the Exchangeable Sampler and the Exchangeable Particle Gibbs Sampler, which, at each iteration, use exchangeablility to simulate multiple, weighted proposals whose weights indicate how likely the chain is to move to such a proposal. By generalising the Independence Sampler and the Particle Gibbs Sampler respectively, these new samplers allow for the locality of moves to be controlled by a scaling parameter which can be tuned to optimise the mixing of the resulting MCMC procedure, while still benefiting from the increase in acceptance probability that typically comes with using multiple proposals. These samplers can lead to chains with better mixing properties, and, therefore, to MCMC estimators with smaller variances than their corresponding algorithms based on independent proposals. This improvement in mixing is illustrated, numerically, for both samplers through simulation studies, and, theoretically, for the Exchangeable Sampler through a result which states that, under certain conditions, the Exchangeable Sampler is geometrically ergodic even when the importance weights are unbounded and, hence, in scenarios where the Independence Sampler cannot be geometrically ergodic. To provide guidance in the practical implementation of such samplers, this thesis derives asymptotic expected squared-jump distance results for the Exchangeable Sampler and the Exchangeable Particle Gibbs Sampler. Moreover, simulation studies demonstrate, numerically, how the theory plays out in practice when d is finite.

description: The main goal of this work is to investigate the possibility of finding the supersymmetric version of the U(1)-global string model which behaves as a vortex-superfluid. To describe the superfluid phase, we introduce a Lorentz-symmetry breaking background that, in an approach based on supersymmetry, leads to a discussion on the relation between the violation of Lorentz symmetry and explicit soft supersymmetry breakings. We also study the relation between the string configuration and the vortex-superfluid phase. In the framework we settle down in terms of superspace and superfields, we actually establish a duality between the vortex degrees of freedom and the component fields of the Kalb-Ramond superfield. We make also considerations about the fermionic excitations that may appear in connection with the vortex formation.

description: Motivated by the variation in reported lattice parameters of floating-zone-grown Nd$_{2}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$ crystals, we have performed a detailed study of the relationship between synthesis environment, structural disorder, and magnetic properties. Using a combination of polycrystalline standards, electron-probe microanalysis and scattering techniques, we show that crystals grown under atmospheric conditions have a reduced lattice parameter - relative to pristine polycrystalline powders - due to occupation of the Nd-site by excess Zr (i.e. "negative" stuffing). In contrast, crystals grown under high-pressure Ar are nearly stoichiometric with an average lattice parameter approaching the polycrystalline value. While minimal disorder of the oxygen sublattices is observed on the scale of the average structure, neutron pair-distribution function analysis indicates a highly local disorder of the oxygen coordination, which is only weakly dependent on growth environment. Most importantly, our magnetization, heat capacity and single-crystal neutron scattering data show that the magnetic properties of crystals grown under high-pressure Ar match closely with those of stoichiometric powders. Neutron scattering measurements reveal that the signature of magnetic moment fragmentation - the coexistence of all-in-all-out (AIAO) magnetic Bragg peaks and diffuse pinch-point scattering due to spin-ice correlations - persists in these nearly stoichiometric crystals. However, in addition to an increased AIAO transition temperature, the diffuse signal is seemingly stabilized and remains nearly unchanged upon warming to 800 mK. This behavior indicates that both the AIAO magnetic order and spin-ice correlations are sensitive to deviations of the Nd stoichiometry.
