description: We investigate how the evolution of the stellar spin rate affects, and is affected by, planets in close orbits, via star-planet tidal interactions. To do this, we used a standard equilibrium tidal model to compute the orbital evolution of single planets orbiting both Sun-like stars and 0.1 M\odot M-dwarfs. We tested two stellar spin evolution profiles, one with fast initial rotation (P=1.2 day) and one with slow initial rotation (P=8 day). We tested the effect of varying the stellar and planetary dissipation and the planet's mass and initial orbital radius. Conclusions: Tidal evolution allows to differentiate the early behaviors of extremely close-in planets orbiting either a rapidly rotating star or a slowly rotating star. The early spin-up of the star allows the close-in planets around fast rotators to survive the early evolution. For planets around M-dwarfs, surviving the early evolution means surviving on Gyr timescales whereas for Sun-like stars the spin-down brings about late mergers of Jupiter planets. In light of this study, we can say that differentiating between one spin evolution from another given the present position of planets can be very tricky. Unless we can observe some markers of former evolution it is nearly impossible to distinguish the two very different spin profiles, let alone intermediate spin profiles. Though some conclusions can still be drawn from statistical distributions of planets around fully convective M-dwarfs. However, if the tidal evolution brings about a merger late in its history it can also entail a noticeable acceleration of the star in late ages, so that it is possible to have old stars that spin rapidly. This raises the question of better constraining the age of stars.

description: While symplectic integration methods based on operator splitting are well established in many branches of science, high order methods for Hamiltonian systems that split in more than two parts have not been studied in great detail. Here, we present several high order symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian systems that can be split in exactly three integrable parts. We apply these techniques, as a practical case, for the integration of the disordered, discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation (DDNLS) and compare their efficiencies. Three part split algorithms provide effective means to numerically study the asymptotic behavior of wave packet spreading in the DDNLS - a hotly debated subject in current scientific literature.

description: Two approximations, derived from continuous expansions of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives into series involving integer order derivatives, are studied. Using those series, one can formally transform any problem that contains fractional derivatives into a classical problem in which only derivatives of integer order are present. Corresponding approximations provide useful numerical tools to compute fractional derivatives of functions. Application of such approximations to fractional differential equations and fractional problems of the calculus of variations are discussed. Illustrative examples show the advantages and disadvantages of each approximation.

title: Rural development and sustainable agriculture in the European Union Mediterranean: a case study on olive oil production in Kefalonia, Greece
Creators: name: Lunde, Amaris
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2007

description:
Rural depopulation is a post-war phenomenon in Western Europe, strongly associated with agricultural abandonment to which isolated and poorer areas are most vulnerable. Such agricultural communities have remained marginalized due to a lack of resources to restore them, but also due to market and governmental forces which have encouraged industrial agriculture, thereby rewarding large-scale agricultural operations and rendering the small traditional agricultural practices nonviable because of their inability to compete. The Greek Ioanian island of Kefalonia was once home to a hillside subsistence community known as Farsa, which was emblematic of traditional agricultural practices. The effects of World War II and a devastating magnitude 7.3 earthquake in 1953 led to the mass exodus from the village and the island as a whole. Today, most villages have been restored on the island. There remain a few, including Farsa, that remain in ruins today. It is the intention of the community of Farsa, as well as the municipality of Kefalonia, to rebuild old Farsa village, under the principles of sustainable development. The purpose of this research is to identify one agricultural activity that would be an appropriate and integral part of a sustainable village, offering economic, social, and environmental benefits to the community. The social science approach of phenomenology guided this case study to gather information form the greater area of Kefalonia concerning how the population currently farms olives and produces olive oil. Interviews were used to extrapolate information on the current practices olive oil producers use, the cultural ties to olive oil, and the economics of producing olive oil. Based on the findings of the research, olive oil production in the area is deeply ingrained in the local culture and current practices are congruent with environmental sustainability. What needs to occur for olive oil production to be economically sustainable is a collaborative effort in meeting input costs, in marketing, and in distribution so that the production of olive oil creates a net gain for producers. The research explores an alternative business model that will ensure the environmental, social and economic sustainability of olive oil production in the community of Farsa. It is the proposition of this research that a sustainable system of olive oil production will lend to the greater sustainability of Farsa village, revitalizing the community, and guarding it from future marginalization.
A three-phase free boundary problem with melting ice and dissolving gas

description: We develop a mathematical model for a three-phase free boundary problem in one dimension that involves the interactions between gas, water and ice. The dynamics are driven by melting of the ice layer, while the pressurized gas also dissolves within the meltwater. The model incorporates a Stefan condition at the water-ice interface along with Henry's law for dissolution of gas at the gas-water interface. We employ a quasi-steady approximation for the phase temperatures and then derive a series solution for the interface positions. A non-standard feature of the model is an integral free boundary condition that arises from mass conservation owing to changes in gas density at the gas-water interface, which makes the problem non-self-adjoint. We derive a two-scale asymptotic series solution for the dissolved gas concentration, which because of the non-self-adjointness gives rise to a Fourier series expansion in eigenfunctions that do not satisfy the usual orthogonality conditions. Numerical simulations of the original governing equations are used to validate the series approximations.

description: This portfolio provides an insight into the development of a trainee sport and exercise psychologist from January 2019 – April 2023 through the professional doctorate in sport and exercise psychology at Liverpool John Moores University. The portfolio provides evidence of how the trainee successfully meets the competencies (professional standards, consultancy, research, and dissemination) documented in the British Psychological Society's (BPS) Stage 2 programme accreditation criteria and the Health and Care Professions Council Standards for approved programmes in Sport and Exercise Psychology. This is shown through a combination of consultancy, research, teaching and training work and reflective practice. The practice log details the trainee’s work and experiences over the enrolment period. The reflective practice diary provides a window into the trainee’s professional development by reflecting on critical events, as well as providing meta reflections on key topics and experiences to help narrate the journey of her development. This includes the evolution of a professional practice philosophy, confidence in leading psychology programmes and competency of research tasks. The three applied case studies evidence the trainee’s development as a practitioner through using diverse approaches, including Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy as an intervention, writing, and leading a psychology development programme, and matching organisational needs to individual’s requirements through one-to-one consultancy. The teaching case study explores the trainee’s experience combining previous roles in teaching and learning into active sport psychology delivery. The two empirical papers and the systematic review highlight the trainee’s focus on bridging research and applied practice. Firstly, on providing consultancy on behaviour modification within the context of a wider football club role and secondly, as with the Systematic 4 Review, to highlight and further explore ways NGBs should set higher importance of mental health of athletes in preventing poor mental health and suicides in sport.

description: Background:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be treated with mandibular advancement devices (MAD), preventing collapse of the upper airway and decreasing apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)/ h. Disease alleviation is expected to vary depending on specific predictors including OSA-severity and cephalometric parameters. This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify predictors of disease alleviation with MAD in adult patients with mild to moderate and severe OSA. Secondary outcomes included assessing the necessity of lateral cephalograms and the therapeutic success in severe OSA-cases.

Methods:
OSA-patients, treated with MAD at the orthodontic department of the University Hospital Regensburg, Germany, were allocated to mild to moderate (AHI ≤ 30/ h) and severe OSA groups (AHI > 30/ h). BMI, poly(somno)graphic, demographic and cephalometric variables were evaluated before (T0) and after 3 to 6 months of MAD-treatment (T1). Applying linear regression analyses, predictors were identified, following an assessment of their effect on disease alleviation by independent two-tailed t-tests for continuous, and absolute and relative frequencies for categorical variables. Then, the need for cephalometric analysis and the disease alleviation in severe OSA-patients were evaluated.

Results:
Sixty-six predominantly male patients (mean age 55 ± 11 years; male:female = 52:14) were stratified to mild to moderate (n = 45) and severe (n = 21) OSA-groups. Regression analysis revealed baseline-AHI as a significant and relevant predictor, whereas few cephalometric parameters proved significance with small effect sizes (absolute AHI/ h-reduction, univariate model: -0.64 (95% CI: -0.75; -0.53), p < 0.001, R² = 0.666). Compared to mild to moderate OSA-cases, severe OSA-patients had a significantly higher AHI (19.1 ± 11.7 vs. 6.0 ± 4.0, p < 0.001) at T1, but also a higher disease alleviation according to absolute AHI-reduction (-26.1 ± 16.0 vs. -9.6 ± 6.4, p < 0.001), indicating comparable treatment success in all OSA-degrees.

Conclusions:
Disease alleviation with MAD in adult OSA-patients can be predicted with specific poly(somno)graphic parameters (especially baseline-AHI), whereas cephalometric variables appeared inappropriate. Still, lateral cephalograms are helpful in the diagnostics and follow-up of MAD-treatment, e.g. for evaluating side effects. Providing good patient selection, therapeutic success can be achieved in both severe and mild to moderate OSA.

description: A class of unitary operations generated by idealized, semiclassical fields is studied. The operations implemented by sharp potential kicks are revisited and the possibility of performing them by softly varying external fields is examined. The possibility of using the ion traps as 'operation factories' transforming quantum states is discussed. The non-perturbative algorithms indicate that the results of abstract $δ$-pulses of oscillator potentials can become real. Some of them, if empirically achieved, could be essential to examine certain atypical quantum ideas. In particular, simple dynamical manipulations might contribute to the Aharonov-Bohm criticism of the time-energy uncertainty principle, some other, to verify the existence of fundamental precision limits of the position measurements or the reality of `non-commutative geometries'.

description: There are currently no models readily available that provide nucleon-nucleon spin dependent scattering amplitudes at high energies ($s \geq 6$ $ GeV^2$). This work aims to provide a model for calculating these high energy scattering amplitudes. The foundation of the model is Regge theory since it allows for a relativistic description and full spin dependence. We present our parameterization of the amplitudes, and show comparisons of our solutions to the data set we have collected. Overall the model works as intended, and provides an adequate description of the scattering amplitudes.

After giving a simple formulation for the test particle approach, illustrative examples for resonant interactions are given. It is shown that for obliquely propagating whistler waves, not only fundamental cyclotron resonance, but also other resonances, such as transit-time resonance, anomalous cyclotron resonance, higher-harmonic cyclotron resonance, and even subharmonic resonance can come into play. A few recent topics of cyclotron resonant interactions, such as electron injection in shocks, cyclotron resonant heating of solar wind heavy ions, and relativistic modifications, are also reviewed.

description: Over the last several decades, the demand for real-time data processing and storage has exponentially increased and pushed the semiconductor field to its fabrication limits. Traditional methods of semiconductor nanomanufacturing, like lithography and reactive ion etching (RIE), suffer from feature resolution and etch taper limits for devices comprising sub-10 nm nanofabrication nodes. Methods like the ones mentioned above are both expensive and difficult to manufacture to keep up with continued scaling requirements of semiconductor fabrication. This thesis presents a fabrication method and metrology characterization of silicon nanowire arrays using a Metal Assisted Chemical Etching (MACE) approach. MACE is a simple, low-cost fabrication technique that allows for high aspect ratio silicon nanostructures to be successfully fabricated without sacrificing geometry fidelity, making it a promising etching method for large-scale semiconductor manufacturing. In this research, small-scale MACE was demonstrated on silicon coupons with an initial process window of 0 nm – 100 nm oxide thickness. Then, a down-selected process window of 10 nm – 50 nm oxide thickness was successfully reproduced on a full-wafer scale (100 mm diameter silicon wafers) at different etchant solution concentrations. The oxide layer serves as a sacrificial layer between the silicon and resist to allow a consistent etching starting point, thus improving the etch depth uniformity and aspect ratios of silicon nanowires. The silicon nanowires were characterized using local scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images by mapping the areas of the wafer as North, South, East, and West to measure critical dimensions such as height and diameter, as well as to observe phenomena such as nanowire collapse.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Women continue to be underrepresented in the natural resource sciences arena, including the field of wildlife biology. The gender gap widens further with advancement to higher level positions. This paper explores potential reasons behind the lack of women in leadership and the array of challenges that women may face in their career paths. A variety of tools are proposed to support and encourage career advancement for women. Studies show that organizations with higher numbers of women in leadership roles perform better and diverse teams are more dedicated and committed to the mission. Understanding gender issues and generating organizational change is necessary to not only achieve an inclusive and diverse workforce, but one that is more creative and productive. The purpose of this paper is to help mitigate gender bias in the natural resource sciences profession and provide recommendations for transforming the workplace environment.

title: PAC-Bayesian Bandit Algorithms With Guarantees
Creators: name: Flynn, Hamish
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: PAC-Bayes is a mathematical framework that can be used to provide performance guarantees for machine learning algorithms, explain why specific machine learning algorithms work well, and design new machine learning algorithms. Since the first PAC-Bayesian theorems were proven in the late 1990's, several impressive milestones have been achieved. PAC-Bayes generalisation bounds have been used to prove tight error bounds for deep neural networks. In addition, PAC-Bayes bounds have been used to explain why machine learning principles such as large margin classification and preference for flat minima of a loss function work well. However, these milestones were achieved in simple supervised learning problems. In this thesis, inspired by the success of the PAC-Bayes framework in supervised learning settings, we investigate the potential of the PAC-Bayes framework as a tool for designing and analysing bandit algorithms. First, we provide a comprehensive overview of PAC-Bayes bounds for bandit problems and an experimental comparison of these bounds. Previous works focused on PAC-Bayes bounds for martingales and their application to importance sampling-based estimates of the reward or regret of a policy. On the one hand, we found that these PAC-Bayes bounds are a useful tool for designing offline policy search algorithms with performance guarantees. In our experiments, a PAC-Bayesian offline policy search algorithm was able to learn randomised neural network polices with competitive expected reward and non-vacuous performance guarantees. On the other hand, the PAC-Bayesian online policy search algorithms that we tested had underwhelming performance and loose cumulative regret bounds. Next, we present novel PAC-Bayes-style algorithms with worst-case regret bounds for linear bandit problems. We combine PAC-Bayes bounds with the "optimism in the face of uncertainty" principle, which reduces a stochastic bandit problem to the construction of a confidence sequence for the unknown reward function. We use a novel PAC-Bayes-style tail bound for adaptive martingale mixtures to construct convex PAC-Bayes-style confidence sequences for (sparse) linear bandits. We show that (sparse) linear bandit algorithms based on our PAC-Bayes-style confidence sequences are guaranteed to achieve competitive worst-case regret. We also show that our confidence sequences yield confidence bounds that are tighter than competitors, both empirically and theoretically. Finally, we demonstrate that our tighter PAC-Bayes-style confidence bounds result in bandit algorithms with improved cumulative regret.

description: The IceCube experiment recently detected the first flux of high-energy neutrinos in excess of atmospheric backgrounds. We examine whether these neutrinos originate from within the same extragalactic sources as ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. Starting from rather general assumptions about spectra and flavors, we find that producing a neutrino flux at the requisite level through pion photoproduction leads to a flux of protons well below the cosmic-ray data at ~10^18 eV, where the composition is light, unless pions/muons cool before decaying. This suggests a dominant class of accelerator that allows for cosmic rays to escape without significant neutrino yields.

description: We construct a discrete form of Hamilton's Ricci flow (RF) equations for a d-dimensional piecewise flat simplicial geometry, S. These new algebraic equations are derived using the discrete formulation of Einstein's theory of general relativity known as Regge calculus. A Regge-Ricci flow (RRF) equation is naturally associated to each edge, L, of a simplicial lattice. In defining this equation, we find it convenient to utilize both the simplicial lattice, S, and its circumcentric dual lattice, S*. In particular, the RRF equation associated to L is naturally defined on a d-dimensional hybrid block connecting $\ell$ with its (d-1)-dimensional circumcentric dual cell, L*. We show that this equation is expressed as the proportionality between (1) the simplicial Ricci tensor, Rc_L, associated with the edge L in S, and (2) a certain volume weighted average of the fractional rate of change of the edges, lambda in L*, of the circumcentric dual lattice, S*, that are in the dual of L. The inherent orthogonality between elements of S and their duals in S* provide a simple geometric representation of Hamilton's RF equations. In this paper we utilize the well established theories of Regge calculus, or equivalently discrete exterior calculus, to construct these equations. We solve these equations for a few illustrative examples.

description: We investigate the possibility of obtaining sizeable R-parity breaking interactions violating baryon number but not lepton number within supersymmetric grand unified theories. Such a possibility allows to ameliorate the naturalness status of supersymmetry while maintaining successful gauge coupling unification, one of its main phenomenological motivations. We show that this can be achieved without fine-tuning or the need of large representations in simple SO(10) models.

The Presence of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on Environmental Surfaces in Healthcare Facilities Pre- and Post-Cleaning
Creators: name: Hunt, Aaron Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a serious public health issue affecting millions of people. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a leading cause of healthcare acquired infections today. Research has shown that patients infected or colonized with MRSA shed the bacteria into the environment, where the bacteria can survive for long periods of time and become potential sources of infection. Currently, infection prevention efforts focus on active surveillance, hand hygiene, personal protective equipment use and antimicrobial stewardship, with less attention given to environmental cleaning. Nevertheless, environmental cleaning is essential to remove infectious agents from environmental surfaces and prevent transmission. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of environmental cleaning programs in removing MRSA from environmental surfaces at an acute care hospital and a long-term care facility. Environmental swabs or sponge samples were collected from five locations (floor, television remote, call bell, bathroom doorknob and bed rail) pre- and post-terminal cleaning from the rooms of patients infected or colonized with MRSA. These swabs or sponges were then analyzed through culture isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to confirm the presence of MRSA. A total of 120 environmental samples were obtained from two medical facilities. Culture analysis followed by confirmatory PCR analysis for the mecA gene showed that 18 of the 120 samples (15%) were positive for the presence of MRSA of which 16 were collected pre-cleaning (89%), and 2 were collected post-cleaning (11%). The location of the positive pre-cleaning samples included the floor (5), call bell (4), bed rail (4), bathroom doorknob (2) and TV remote (1), and the positive post-cleaning samples included the floor (1) and call bell (1). The results confirm the presence of MRSA on surfaces in patient rooms and suggest that environmental cleaning was effective, but there is potential for rooms to remain contaminated. Future research should focus on identifying the most effective cleaning programs to ensure rooms are safe for patients.

Perceptions of Police Responses to Domestic Violence
Creators: name: Stout, Kelly Rae
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: Domestic violence, also known as, intimate partner violence (IPV), has become an epidemic in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC), about 24 women and men are victimized by an intimate partner each minute, equaling about 12 million victims every year (2012b). In recent years, the public has become more aware of IPV situations. An increase in public service announcements has helped to inform the public and has brought these dangerous situations out from behind closed doors. In the age of technology, information is more easily distributed and exchanged which has also increased public awareness. Police departments have also become more diligent about addressing IPV in homes. The implementation and use of lethality assessments in police departments around the country has led to more efficient police responses and increased the number of victims identified to be in lethal relationships (Campbell, 1995).
This research is intended to explore public knowledge about IPV and examine the public's support for new police policies directing officer responses to IPV calls for service. Furthermore, this paper will seek to connect the relationship between public awareness and support of police actions. ?
Dynamical stability of the Gliese 581 exoplanetary system

description: Using numerical methods we investigate the dynamical stability of the Gliese 581 exoplanetary system. The system is known to harbour four planets (b-e). The existence of another planet (g) in the liquid water habitable zone of the star is debated after the latest analyses of the radial velocity (RV) measurements. We integrated the 4 and 5-planet model of Vogt et al. (AN 333, 561-575, 2012) with initial circular orbits. To characterize stability, the maximum eccentricity was used that the planets reached over the time of the integrations and the LCI and RLI to identify chaotic motion. Since circular orbits in the RV fits seem to be a too strong restriction and the true orbits might be elliptic, we investigated the stability of the planets as a function of their eccentricity. The integration of the circular 4-planet model shows that it is stable on a longer timescale for even an inclination i = 5°. A fifth planetary body in the 4-planet model could have a stable orbit between the two super-Earth sized planets c and d, and beyond the orbit of planet d, although another planet would likely only be stable on circular or near-circular orbit in the habitable zone of the star. Gliese 581 g in the 5-planet model would have a dynamically stable orbit, even for a wider range of orbital parameters, but its stability is strongly dependent on the eccentricity of planet d. The low-mass planet e, which quickly became unstable in eccentric models, remains stable in the circular 4-planet model, but the stable region around its initial semi-major axis and eccentricity is rather small. The stability of the inner planets e and c is dependent on the eccentricity of the Neptune-size planet b. The outermost planet d is far away from the adjacent planet c to considerably influence its stability, however, the existence of a planet between the two super-Earth planets c and d constrains its eccentricity.

description: When the full stock of a new product is quickly sold in a few days or weeks, one has the impression that new technologies develop and conquer the market in a very easy way. This may be true for some new technologies, for example the cell phone, but not for others, like the blue-ray. Novelty, usefulness, advertising, price, and fashion are the driving forces behind the adoption of a new product. But, what are the key factors that lead to adopt a new technology? In this paper we propose and investigate a simple model for the adoption of an innovation which depends mainly on three elements: the appeal of the novelty, the inertia or resistance to adopt it, and the interaction with other agents. Social interactions are taken into account in two ways: by imitation and by differentiation, i.e., some agents will be inclined to adopt an innovation if many people do the same, but other will act in the opposite direction, trying to differentiate from the "herd". We determine the conditions for a successful implantation of the new technology, by considering the strength of advertising and the effect of social interactions. We find a balance between the advertising and the number of anti-herding agents that may block the adoption of a new product. We also compare the effect of social interactions, when agents take into account the behavior of the whole society or just a part of it. In a nutshell, the present model reproduces qualitatively the available data on adoption of innovation.

description: Hydrolytically and enzymatically stable nanoscale synthetic constructs, with well-defined structures that exhibit antimicrobial activity, offer exciting possibilities for diverse applications in the emerging field of nanomedicine. Herein, we demonstrate that it is the core conformation, rather than periodicity, that ultimately controls the synthesis of sterically hindered aliphatic polyamide dendrimers. The latter self-interrupt at a predictable low generation number due to backfolding of their peripheral groups, which in turn leads to well-defined nanoarchitectures.
