description: We report time-of-flight neutron spectroscopic and diffraction studies of the 5$d^2$ cubic double pervoskite magnets, Ba$_2$MOsO$_6$ ($M$ = Zn, Mg, Ca). These cubic materials are all described by antiferromagnetically-coupled 5$d^2$ Os$^{6+}$ ions decorating a face-centred cubic (FCC) lattice. They all exhibit thermodynamic anomalies consistent with phase transitions at a temperature $T^*$, and exhibit a gapped magnetic excitation spectrum with spectral weight concentrated at wavevectors typical of type I antiferromagnetic orders. While muon spin resonance experiments show clear evidence for time reversal symmetry breaking, no corresponding magnetic Bragg scattering is observed at low temperatures. These results, consistent with low temperature octupolar or quadrupolar order, are discussed in the context of other 5$d^2$ DP magnets, and theories for $d^2$ ions on a FCC lattice which predict exotic orders driven by multipolar interactions.

Identification and characterisation of murine metastable epialleles conferred by endogenous retroviruses

Transposable element

description: Repetitive sequences, including transposable elements, represent approximately half of the mammalian genome. Epigenetic mechanisms evolved to repress these potentially deleterious mobile elements. However, such elements can be variably silenced between individuals – so called ‘metastable epialleles’. The best known example is the Avy locus where an endogenous retrovirus (ERV) of the intracisternal A-particle (IAP) class was spontaneously inserted upstream of the agouti coat colour gene, resulting in variable IAP promoter DNA methylation, variable expressivity of coat phenotype, and environmentally modulated transgenerational epigenetic inheritance within genetically identical individuals. It is not known whether the behaviour exhibited by the ERV at Avy represents a common occurrence throughout the genome or is unusual. Taking a genetic approach in purified cell populations, I have conducted a systematic genome-wide screen of murine metastable epialleles. I have identified over 100 murine IAPs with properties of metastable epialleles. Like Avy, each exhibits a stable epigenetic state within an individual but epigenetic variability between individuals. Methylation levels are locus-specific within an individual, suggesting cis-acting control. The same screening strategy was applied for identification of metastable epialleles associated with other types of LTR-retroelements. However, many of identified candidates showed no inter-individual methylation variation upon experimental validation. These results suggest that IAPs are the dominant class of ERVs capable of acquiring epigenetic states that are variable between genetically identical individuals. I have conducted an analysis of IAP induced initiation and termination of transcription events using de novo assembled transcriptomes generated for B and T cells. 143 IAPs have been identified to overlap de novo assembled transcripts. 33 IAPs are metastable epialleles. Several of them show an inverse correlation between LTR promoter methylation and adjacent gene expression. In addition, I have shown that metastable epialleles have a characteristic pattern of histone modification and are flanked by the methylation sensitive binding factor CTCF, providing testable hypotheses concerning the establishment and/or maintenance of the variable methylation state. My findings indicate that metastability is, in general, specific to the IAP class of ERVs, that only around 1% of these elements have this unusual epigenetic property and that the ability to impact transcription, such as at agouti in Avy, is not a ubiquitous feature of these loci.

description: Quantum antiferromagnets with geometrical frustration exhibit rich many-body physics but are hard to simulate by means of classical computers. Although quantum-simulation studies for analyzing such systems are thus desirable, they are still limited to high temperature regions, where interesting quantum effects are smeared out. Here, we propose a feasible protocol to perform analog quantum simulation of frustrated antiferromagnetism with strong quantum fluctuations by using ultracold Bose gases in optical lattices at negative absolute temperatures. Specifically, we show from numerical simulations that the time evolution of a negative-temperature state subjected to a slow sweep of the hopping energy simulates quantum phase transitions of a frustrated Bose-Hubbard model with sign-inverted hoppings. Moreover, we quantitatively predict the phase boundary between the frustrated superfluid and Mott-insulator phases for triangular lattices with hopping anisotropy, which serves as a benchmark for quantum simulation.

description: We report the discovery of soft (0.25--2 keV) x-ray emission from the Galilean satellites Io and Europa, probably Ganymede, and from the Io Plasma Torus (IPT). Bombardment by energetic (>10 keV) H, O, and S ions from the region of the IPT seems the likely source of the x-ray emission from the Galilean satellites. According to our estimates, fluorescent x-ray emission excited by solar x-rays, even during flares from the active Sun, charge-exchange processes, previously invoked to explain Jupiter's x-ray aurora and cometary x-ray emission, and ion stripping by dust grains fail to account for the observed emission. On the other hand, bremsstrahlung emission of soft X-rays from non-thermal electrons in the few hundred to few thousand eV range may account for a substantial fraction of the observed x-ray flux from the IPT.

description: Nonlinear wavefront control is a crucial requirement in realizing nonlinear optical applications with metasurfaces. Numerous aspects of nonlinear frequency conversion and wavefront control have been demonstrated for plasmonic metasurfaces. However, several disadvantages limit their applicability in nonlinear nanophotonics, including high dissipative loss and low optical damage threshold. In contrast, it has been shown that metasurfaces made of high-index dielectrics can provide strong nonlinear responses. Regardless of the recent progress in nonlinear optical processes using all-dielectric nanostructures and metasurfaces, much less advancement has been made in realizing a full wavefront control directly with the generation process. Here, we demonstrate the nonlinear wavefront control for the third-harmonic generation with a silicon metasurface. We use a Pancharatnam-Berry phase approach to encode phase gradients and holographic images on nanostructured silicon metasurfaces. We experimentally demonstrate the polarization-dependent wavefront control and the reconstruction of an encoded hologram at the third-harmonic wavelength with high fidelity. Further, we show that holographic multiplexing is possible by utilizing the polarization states of the third harmonic generation. Our approach eases design and fabrication processes and paves the way to an easy to use toolbox for nonlinear optical wavefront control with all-dielectric metasurfaces.

It is found that this theory has an unexpected non-trivial phase structure in the $(β,κ)$ plane even at zero temperature. A detailed study is made to understand the nature of the observed phase transitions and to find the way of avoiding untolerably large lattice artifacts associated with the phase transition.

description: From microbes to humans, habitat structural complexity plays a direct role in the provision of physical living space and increased complexity supports higher biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across biomes. Coastal development and the construction of artificial shorelines are altering natural landscapes as humans seek socio-economic benefits and protection from coastal storms, flooding and erosion. In this study, we evaluate how much structural complexity is missing on artificial coastal structures compared to natural rocky shorelines, across a range of spatial scales from 1 mm to 10 s of m, using three remote sensing platforms (handheld camera, terrestrial laser scanner and uncrewed aerial vehicles). Natural shorelines were typically more structurally complex than artificial ones and offered greater variation between locations. However, our results varied depending on the type of artificial structure and the scale at which complexity was measured. Seawalls were deficient at all scales (approx. 20–40% less complex than natural shores), whereas rock armour was deficient at the smallest and largest scales (approx. 20–50%). Our findings reinforce concerns that hardening shorelines with artificial structures simplifies coastlines at organism-relevant scales. Furthermore, we offer much-needed insight into how structures might be modified to more closely capture the complexity of natural rocky shores that support biodiversity.

description: We study the effects of Kelvin Helmholtz Instability (KHI) on the cold streams that feed massive halos at high redshift, generalizing our earlier results to include the effects of radiative cooling and heating from a UV background, using analytic models and high resolution idealized simulations. We currently do not consider self-shielding, thermal conduction or gravity. A key parameter in determining the fate of the streams is the ratio of the cooling time in the turbulent mixing layer which forms between the stream and the background following the onset of the instability, $t_{\rm cool,mix}$, to the time in which the mixing layer expands to the width of the stream in the non-radiative case, $t_{\rm shear}$. This can be converted into a critical stream radius, $R_{\rm s,crit}$, such that $R_{\rm s}/R_{\rm s,crit}=t_{\rm shear}/t_{\rm cool,mix}$. If $R_{\rm s}R_{\rm s,crit}$, which we find to almost always be the case for astrophysical cold streams, the stream is not disrupted by KHI. Rather, background mass cools and condenses onto the stream, and can increase the mass of cold gas by a factor of $\sim 3$ within 10 stream sound crossing times. The mass entrainment induces thermal energy losses from the background and kinetic energy losses from the stream, which we model analytically. Roughly half of the dissipated energy is radiated away from gas with $T<5\times 10^4{\rm K}$, suggesting much of it will be emitted in Ly$α$.

Chemo-dynamical evolution of Globular Cluster Systems

description: We studied the relation between the ratio of rotational velocity to velocity dispersion and the metallicity (/σ_{v}-metallicity relation) of globular cluster systems (GCS) of disk galaxies by comparing the relation predicted from simple chemo-dynamical models for the formation and evolution of disk galaxies with the observed kinematical and chemical properties of their GCSs. We conclude that proto disk galaxies underwent a slow initial collapse that was followed by a rapid contraction and derive that the ratio of the initial collapse time scale to the active star formation time scale is \sim 6 for our Galaxy and \sim 15 for M31. The fundamental formation process of disk galaxies was simulated based on simple chemo-dynamical models assuming the conservation of their angular momentum. We suggest that there is a typical universal pattern in the /σ_{v}-metallicity relation of the GCS of disk galaxies. This picture is supported by the observed properties of GCSs in the Galaxy and in M31. This relation would deviate from the universal pattern, however, if large-scale merging events took major role in chemo-dynamical evolution of galaxies and will reflect the epoch of such merging events. We discuss the properties of the GCS of M81 and suggest the presence of past major merging event.

description: This thesis examines the role of conventions of setting in Chaucerian dream poetry. Setting, by my definition, refers not only to the physical features of landscape in these dreams, such as bedchambers and gardens, but also the position of the genre of dream poetry itself within wider literary contexts. I argue that conventions of setting, familiar themes or locations which create expectations in the reader about the content of the dream itself, provide a valuable and largely overlooked perspective upon the genre of Chaucerian dream poetry. By paying close attention to the way that conventions of setting are combined and altered in the landscapes of Chaucerian dream poetry, we can understand more fully the lines of authorial influence that shape the genre, particularly by considering conventional settings such as the temple of glass that are used by a number of different dream poets in differing contexts. Moreover, by considering the dream in its broader setting or context, as autobiographical reflection, mnemonic device, and simultaneous lament for the ephemeral nature of literature and attempt to preserve oneself for posterity, I argue that we can better understand the nature of the genre as a whole. Throughout, I offer an understanding of the Chaucerian dream poem not only as it was written, but also as it was read and responded to, both by contemporary authors and readers, and later critics.

description: Sugars and organic acids are important factors associated with the postharvest quality of fruits and vegetables, but respiratory metabolism effects the metabolite contents. The objectives of this study were to explore the affects of Fusarium proliferatum infection on the postharvest quality and respiratory metabolism of green asparagus. It was found that F. proliferatum caused the soluble sugar concentration of asparagus to increase over the first 2 d of storage and then decrease again to become significantly lower than the control at 4 d. The titratable acidity (TA) of infected asparagus also increased from day 2 to day 6 and then decreased to become significantly lower than the control. Similarly, the key enzyme activities of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) increased in pathogen-infected asparagus at the beginning of storage and then decreased to become lower than the control at the end. These findings demonstrate that F. proliferatum caused quality deterioration and an impairment of respiratory metabolism in postharvest asparagus. This research helps to clarify the relationships between pathogen infection, physiological metabolism, and asparagus quality and will provide valuable information for the control of postharvest diseases of asparagus.

description: This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of a Farmer and Enterprise Training in Commercial Agriculture (FETCA) programme on behaviour and practices of rice farmers in the Sekyere East District of Ashanti Region of Ghana. For this purpose, the study adopted the Kirkpatrick framework as a guide in assessing training effectiveness and used the before- and after-tests to assess change in behaviour. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analysed through descriptive analytical statistics and the z-test. The results of the study revealed that the MIDA-Farmer and Enterprise Training in Commercial Agriculture (FETCA) programme significantly upgraded the technical know-how of members of Farmer-Based Organisations (FBOs) to adopt key recommended production practices and improved their organisational capacity building behaviours. There is evidence of shared knowledge and experiences in production-based rice activities, building capacity and developing financial skills with colleague farmers, farm family and farm workers, indicating a multiplier effect of the FETCA programme. The results reinforces the view that focus on Organisational Capacity Building modules, Technical Capacity and Business Development modules, are important in FBO training programmes in Ghana.

description: The explosion of massive stars in core-collapse supernovae may be aided by the convective instabilities that develop in their innermost nuclear burning shells. The resulting fluctuations support the explosion by generating additional turbulence behind the supernova shock. It was suggested that the buoyant density perturbations arising from the interaction of the pre-collapse asymmetries with the shock may be the primary contributor to the enhancement of the neutrino-driven turbulent convection in the post-shock region. Employing three-dimensional numerical simulations of a toy model, we investigate the impact of such density perturbations on the post-shock turbulence. We consider a wide range of perturbation parameters. The spatial scale and the amplitude of the perturbations are found to be of comparable importance. The turbulence is particularly enhanced when the perturbation frequency is close to that of the convective turnovers in the gain region. Our analysis confirms that the buoyant density perturbations is indeed the main source of the additional turbulence in the gain region, validating the previous order-of-magnitude estimates.

description: Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of single electrons from Au+Au collisions have been measured at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 130 GeV and 200 GeV at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. After subtraction of background from photon conversions and light hadron decays, the spectra appear consistent with semileptonic decays of charmed particles.

description: This article demonstrates how Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D) impacts on collective marketing among smallholder farmers of southern Africa through increased crop productivity, yields and income. We use a quasi-experimental design to compare outcomes under IAR4D and under two other states namely conventional approach and non-intervention. The study relies on primary data collected from 665 households during baseline and end line survey. Results from the study show that IAR4D had a positive and significant impact on improving collective marketing in intervention sites as compared to the control sites. In conclusion, the paper demonstrates empirically that collective marketing can help smallholder farmers to reduce barriers to entry into lucrative agricultural markets through IAR4D by lowering transaction costs of accessing input and produce markets. This finding is particularly very important given that middlemen and small traders face huge transaction costs of dealing with many sellers each selling small quantities.

description: We present new photometric V-, R- and I-band data for the rich galaxy cluster AC 118 at z=0.31. The new photometry covers an area of 8.6x8.6 arcmin$^2$, corresponding to 2.9$\times$2.9 Mpc$^2$ (H$_0=50$ km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, q$_0=0.5$ and $Λ= 0$). The data have been collected for a project aimed at studying galaxy evolution through the color-magnitude relation and the fundamental plane. We provide a catalogue including all the sources (N = 1206) detected in the cluster field. The galaxy sample is complete to V=22.8 mag (N_gal=574), R=22.3 mag (N_gal=649) and I=20.8 mag (N_gal=419). We give aperture magnitudes within a fixed aperture of 4.4 arcsec and Kron magnitudes. We also give photometric redshifts for 459 sources for which additional U- and K-band photometry is available. We derive and discuss the V- and R-band luminosity functions. The catalogue, which is distributed in electronic form, is intended as a tool for studies in galaxy evolution.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We describe an experimental setup for producing a large cold erbium (Er) sample in a narrow-line magneto-optical trap (MOT) in a simple and efficient way. We implement a pair of angled slowing beams with respect to the Zeeman slower axis, and further slow down atoms exiting from the Zeeman slower. The second-stage slowing beams enable the narrow-line MOT to trap atoms exiting from the Zeeman slower with higher velocity. This scheme is particularly useful when the Zeeman slower is at low optical power without the conventional transverse cooling between an oven and a Zeeman slower, in which case we significantly improve the loading efficiency into the MOT and are able to trap more than $10^8$ atoms in the narrow-line MOT of $^{166}$Er. This work highlights our implementation, which greatly simplifies laser cooling and trapping of Er atoms and also should benefit other similar elements.

Verso una nuova narrazione di genere nell'INFN: sponsorship, mentoring e leadership inclusiva

description: Il Gender Mentoring Programme (GMP) INFN ha evidenziato la complessità delle sfide affrontate dalle giovani ricercatrici nel mondo scientifico, dominato da strutture che, pur apparendo neutrali, perpetuano una visione androcentrica. Le donne sono spesso "over-mentored and under-sponsored" (Ibarra & al. 2010), ricevendo eccessiva guida senza il sostegno concreto per avanzare nelle carriere. La sponsorship, se non gestita criticamente, rischia di rafforzare un modello di leadership aggressivo e basato su schemi patriarcali, che ostacola l’equità di genere.

Il peer mentoring, all’interno delle rispettive coorti mentee e mentori, si è rivelato una risorsa essenziale per sviluppare una leadership collaborativa, non aggressiva, capace di decostruire i pregiudizi e le strutture di potere tradizionali. Il GMP ha creato spazi di consapevolezza critica, aiutando mentee e mentori a riconoscere i bias di genere e promuovendo una cultura più inclusiva. Affinché il cambiamento sia duraturo, è necessario affrontare le disuguaglianze istituzionali e rivedere i criteri di valutazione del merito, dando valore a metriche qualitative e costruendo nuove narrative.

Le reti formali e informali create all'interno del GMP rappresentano uno strumento cruciale per

promuovere la visibilità e l’inclusione delle donne nelle istituzioni scientifiche, favorendo opportunità di carriera. Sostenere pratiche di leadership inclusive può trasformare le istituzioni accademiche, rendendole più eque e diversificate.

description: The Japanese military experienced different types of defeat in World War Two (WWII) both during and after the war, including loss in battles and war crimes trials. This dissertation analyses Japanese veterans’ postwar narratives in relation to the concepts of defeat and addresses the issue of war crimes responsibility, particularly for civilian massacres during WWII. My thesis focuses on former Japanese infantry regiments whose members committed civilian massacres in the Malaya Peninsula, the Philippines, and Burma and were tried by the British and US/Philippine forces between 1946 and 1948. My dissertation examines group narratives of these regiments, utilising war crimes trial records and postwar regimental histories (rentaishi) and war memoirs (rentaisenki) compiled from the 1970s to the 1990s. Despite the different times of compilation, these regiments present similar recurring themes in their narratives, including glorious deeds, operational justification, rectification of the Allied trials, sacrificial dedication to their country, living through the deadly battleground, and glorious ends of regiments. Behind these narratives was the continuation of wartime military values into the postwar period, which had helped to justify war crimes both during and after the war. This thesis shows that different types of defeat shaped their postwar narratives in such a way as to alleviate negative sentiments resulting from defeat and, for some group narratives, avoid accepting responsibility for war crimes. My research contributes to the cultural history of military defeat by illustrating Japanese veterans’ responses to the issue of responsibility for war crimes. Analysis of their postwar narratives in the frame of the military defeat can provide a deep understanding of the inadequacy of some Japanese veterans in acknowledging atrocities as groups.
