description: Redshift observations of galaxies outside the Local Group are fairly common in extragalactic astrophysics. If redshifts are interpreted as arising from radial velocities, these must be corrected by the contamination of the solar motion. We discuss the details of such correction in the way it was performed by the American astronomer Edwin Hubble in his 1929 seminal paper. The investigations of spiral nebulae undertaken by the Swedish astronomer Knut Lundmark, in 1924, are also considered in this context.

title: Personal identity and practical reason
Creators: name: Hummel, Patrik Alexander
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews

description: In this thesis, I argue that the interdependence between personal identity and practical concerns is overstated. In paradigmatic places where philosophers and common sense suggest that personal identity constrains how we should reason and care, or vice versa, the two spheres are in fact neutral to each other. I defend this claim by considering four specific cases. First, a rough characterization of the distinction between the complex and the simple view is that the former takes personal identity to consist in other relations, whereas the latter does not. I argue that the extreme claim according to which the complex view fails to give reasons for future-directed concern can be resisted. We maintain forward-looking attitudes and projects not because someone will be us, but because we relate to future selves in other, more important ways. Second, I argue that intuitions in a range of popular imaginary cases are contaminated by practical concerns whose relevance for personal identity is far from straightforward. Third, I argue that on a closer look, the complex versus simple distinction is confused. It thus cannot be what grounds differences in judgements on what matters. Debates about personal identity should be framed in terms of better understood notions. Finally, I argue that it is not a constraint on rational transformative choice that decision-maker and transforming individual are identical. Moreover, whether we are deciding for ourselves or for others - the importance of informed consent for transformative treatments is not diminished by the decision-maker's failure to projectively imagine the outcomes.

description: Cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system arise from circulating blood monocytes (MO) that undergo further maturation on leaving the vasculature and migration into the various tissues and body cavities. This terminal differentiation step is also observed in vitro when blood MO are cultured in the presence of serum. Yet, the inducing signals present in serum are not defined. We have established primary cultures from elutriation-purified blood MO and found that the active metabolite of vitamin D3 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) could induce maturation of MO to macrophages (MAC) in the absence of any serum proteins. Cells were cultured for 7 days with AB-group serum or 1,25(OH)2D3, respectively, and MO maturation analyzed by morphology, functional activity, and the expression of lineage-restricted maturation-associated antigens (MAX.1, MAX.3). At an optimal concentration of 10(-8) mol/L, 1,25(OH)2D3 promoted the development of fully differentiated MAC whose phenotype and functional competence in terms of cytokine release (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, fibronectin, and lysozyme) was comparable with MAC grown in serum. In conclusion, our data may add to the immunoregulatory potential of 1,25(OH)2D3, which may play an essential role in the ontogeny of the mononuclear phagocyte system.

description: We investigate net-proton fluctuations as important observables measured in heavy-ion collisions within the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model. Special emphasis is given to effects which are a priori not inherent in a thermally and chemically equilibrated HRG approach. In particular, we point out the importance of taking into account the successive regeneration and decay of resonances below the chemical freeze-out, which lead to a randomization of the isospin of nucleons and thus to additional fluctuations in the net-proton number. We find good agreement between our model results and the recent STAR measurements of the higher-order moments of the net-proton distribution.

description: Functional competence as well as phenotype heterogeneity of macrophages depend on the completion of their maturation pathway. Differentiation of committed myeloid progenitor cells is induced by colony-stimulating factors (CSF), but no consistent data exist on which factor(s) induce the terminal maturation from the circulating blood monocyte to the mature macrophage. In vitro, monocyte to macrophage transformation occurs in the presence of serum and can be followed by the expression of the maturation-associated antigens gp65-MAX.1, gp68-MAX.3, and CD51. We describe that the differentiation-inducing activity in serum cannot be replaced by any of the known and available purified recombinant cytokines. In the absence of serum monocytes die in suspension cultures while surviving as non-differentiating cells when cultured adherent to plastic. In serum-free suspension cultures survival can be significantly improved by the addition of recombinant human macrophage (rhM)-CSF whereas other cytokines do not. At any stage of serum-free adherent culture, monocyte to macrophage differentiation can be induced rapidly by the addition of serum, whereas cytokines (rhM-CSF, recombinant human granulocyte macrophage [rhGM]-CSF, recombinant human granulocyte [rhG]-CSF, recombinant human interleukin [rhIL]-1, rhIL-3, rhIL-4, rhIL-6, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-alpha, interferon [IFN]-alpha, IFN-gamma) alone or in combination are not effective. Serum-induced maturation, however, was suppressed in the presence of neutralizing anti-M-CSF antibodies. In addition to phenotype analysis, the secretory repertoire of rhM-CSF cultured monocytes was analyzed in comparison to serum cultured monocytes which further characterized them to be immature cells, i.e., low release of maturation-associated products such as alpha-2-macroglobulin, neopterin, fibronectin, and TNF-alpha, but high IL-6 secretion, an attribute of blood monocytes. We conclude that for monocyte survival in vitro the presence of endogenous M-CSF and possibly other autocrine factors elicited by cell adherence are required for the induction of macrophage maturation; however, yet undefined additional factor(s) are necessary. They are present in serum and may act in conjunction with M-CSF but are distinct from all known cytokines. Our in vitro system may be useful in the screening and discovery of these serum factor(s).

description: The origin of the knee in cosmic ray spectrum remains to be an unsolved fundamental problem. There are various kinds of models which predict different break positions and the compositions of the knee. In this work, we suggest to use diffuse $γ$-rays and neutrinos as probes to test these models. Based on several typical types of the composition models, the diffuse $γ$-ray and neutrino spectra are calculated, which show distinctive cutoff behaviours at energies from tens of TeV to multi-PeV. The expected flux will be observable by the newly upgraded Tibet-AS$γ$+MD (muon detector) experiment as well as more sensitive future projects, such as LHAASO and HiSCORE. By comparing the neutrino spectrum with the recent observations by IceCube experiment, we find that the diffuse neutrinos from interactions between the cosmic rays and the interstellar medium may not be responsible to the majority of the IceCube events. Future measurements of the neutrinos may be able to identify the Galactic diffuse component and further shed light on the problem of the knee of cosmic rays.

description: Cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system arise from circulating blood monocytes. Upon emigration from the vasculature, monocytes differentiate into macrophages, a process that monocytes similarly undergo in vitro. We have established primary cultures from elutriated or adherence-purified blood monocytes and analyzed the antigenic modulation during monocyte to macrophage transformation, which could be followed by the expression of specific antigens and which required as yet unknown inducer signals present in the serum. It is shown that in the absence of serum monocytes only survive in vitro when cultured adherent to plastic but rapidly die in suspension culture. Starting at 0.5%, serum induced maturation dose-dependently, with the optimal concentration being 2 to 5%. Of those antigens not present on monocyte, the low-affinity Fc receptor (CD16), the alpha-chain of the vitronectin receptor (CD51), gp65-MAX.1, and gp68-MAX.3 were expressed only upon serum-induced macrophage differentiation, whereas the transferrin receptor (CD71), MAX.26, and to some degree also gp65-MAX.11 appeared to be independent of maturation and were also found on primary cultures of adherent monocytes under serum-free conditions. In addition, the rapid induction of HLA class II antigens (within 24 hr) was similar with and without serum, as was the continued high-density expression in long-term culture. The monocyte-specific CD14 antigen was down-regulated in the absence of serum but kept its level of expression on differentiated macrophages. In comparison, alveolar and peritoneal macrophages, respectively, differed in their antigenic phenotype: Alveolar macrophages expressed high HLA class II antigens but low CD14, whereas for peritoneal macrophages the opposite was found. Both interferon-gamma and -alpha suppressed macrophage maturation in vitro but had contrary effects on HLA class II and CD16 expression: Interferon-gamma up-regulated the two types of antigens, which, in contrast, were down-regulated by interferon-alpha.

description: Most real networks are characterized by connectivity patterns that evolve in time following complex, non-Markovian, dynamics. Here we investigate the impact of this ubiquitous feature by studying the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic models on activity driven networks with and without memory (i.e., Markovian and non-Markovian). We show that while memory inhibits the spreading process in SIR models, where the epidemic threshold is moved to larger values, it plays the opposite effect in the case of the SIS, where the threshold is lowered. The heterogeneity in tie strengths, and the frequent repetition of connections that it entails, allows in fact less virulent SIS-like diseases to survive in tightly connected local clusters that serve as reservoir for the virus. We validate this picture by evaluating the threshold of both processes in a real temporal network. Our findings confirm the important role played by non-Markovian network dynamics on dynamical processes

description: In Ethiopia, youth unemployment is becoming a more pressing issue. Scholarly works in the area have exhaustively studied the prominent causes of youth unemployment. By going beyond the causes, this article critically examines the social and economic conditions of unemployed urban youths in the study areas. The researchers have employed qualitative research approach. The study has used both primary and secondary data sources to produce a full-fledged research article. In-depth interview, focus group discussion and naturalistic observation were the instruments through which primary data were collected. Relevant books, journal articles, magazines, official document and research works were consulted as the principal sources of secondary data. The researchers purposively selected 42 key informants and 12 participants of focus group discussions in the study areas. Unemployed youth are facing many social and economic problems including, social exclusion, low self-confidence, carelessness, low saving, mental and physical disease and fear. As a result, some of them were forced to commit crime and drink alcohol. These problems affected the physical, emotional and psychological lives of unemployed youth in the study areas. The study investigated that town administrations took some measures to reduce youth unemployment in the study areas through organizing youth into groups, providing them certain trainings and encouraging them for job creation. However, they were unable to reduce youth unemployment due to the imbalance between number of unemployed youths and job availability, insufficient labor market and financial problems. Finally, in order to address the social and economic problems of unemployed youth in the study areas this article has suggested the following recommendations: enhancing awareness of the communities and youths, building industrial zones in the study areas, promoting youth entrepreneurs and self-employment, providing long and Short term training for unemployed youths, and making convenient business climate for unemployed youths.

Sport and exercise psychology

description: The purpose of this thesis was to provide a context specific insight into how life skills and resilient coping behaviors could be developed through the medium of football. In study 1, a triangulation of experiences from players, coaches, parents, and teachers was sought through a series of focus groups. The findings highlighted that football can develop a range of life skills that contribute towards developing a resilient person, and emphasized that social interaction with a coach, along with a collaborative approach, were key to adolescents’ development of these skills. Building on these findings, Study 2 aimed to design, deliver, and evaluate a coach education intervention program that enabled coaches to integrate life skills development within their coaching sessions. The findings demonstrated an intervention effect on coaches’ knowledge of life skills and resilient behavior development. Further, an in-depth social validation process demonstrated that coaches were not only able to retain and apply the new knowledge acquired but that it had transformed their approach to coaching. The final study in this thesis culminated the exploration of the impact of the intervention program by evaluating the effectiveness of a coach in delivering sessions that promote life skills development from the perspective of his/her players. Through a combination of focus groups and the analysis of participants’ reflective logs, it emerged that the players had a sound understanding of the importance of life skills, and had been successful in transferring a number of them acquired through football to other environments. Overall, the thesis has provided conceptual and practical implications for coaches and NGB’s alike in the understanding, development, and integration of life skill development into coaching practice, training and development. As a result, young people’s capacity to thrive in life as well as sport can be enhanced.

Approximate controllability of Lagrangian trajectories of the 3D Navier-Stokes system by a finite-dimensional force

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In the Eulerian approach, the motion of an incompressible fluid is usually described by the velocity field which is given by the Navier--Stokes system. The velocity field generates a flow in the space of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. The latter plays a central role in the Lagrangian description of a fluid, since it allows to identify the trajectories of individual particles. In this paper, we show that the velocity field of the fluid and the corresponding flow of diffeomorphisms can be simultaneously approximately controlled using a finite-dimensional external force. The proof is based on some methods from the geometric control theory introduced by Agrachev and Sarychev.

description: We introduce a new Partition of Unity Method for the numerical homogenization of elliptic partial differential equations with arbitrarily rough coefficients. We do not restrict to a particular ansatz space or the existence of a finite element mesh. The method modifies a given partition of unity such that optimal convergence is achieved independent of oscillation or discontinuities of the diffusion coefficient. The modification is based on an orthogonal decomposition of the solution space while preserving the partition of unity property. This precomputation involves the solution of independent problems on local subdomains of selectable size. We deduce quantitative error estimates for the method that account for the chosen amount of localization. Numerical experiments illustrate the high approximation properties even for 'cheap' parameter choices.

Complex oscillations in the delayed Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Motivated by the dynamics of neuronal responses, we analyze the dynamics of the Fitzhugh-Nagumo slow-fast system with delayed self-coupling. This system provides a canonical example of a canard explosion for sufficiently small delays. Beyond this regime, delays significantly enrich the dynamics, leading to mixed-mode oscillations, bursting and chaos. These behaviors emerge from a delay-induced subcritical Bogdanov-Takens instability arising at the fold points of the S-shaped critical manifold. Underlying the transition from canard-induced to delay-induced dynamics is an abrupt switch in the nature of the Hopf bifurcation.
Improving Effectiveness of Mobile Learning Technology for use in Higher Education - A Comparative Study of the UK and Jordan

description: This research is aimed at assessing the capabilities and limitations of mobile learning technology and its impact on learning in Jordanian higher education. The data was collected through three sets of activities, namely a quiz, a questionnaire survey regarding mobile learning content in Jordan and two sets of focus groups that were conducted at Aston University and the University of Jordan. The mobile learning content was modified, keeping in view the technology limitations of both the countries, enabling identification of a broader aim of determining appropriate measures for mobile learning within limited technology environments. The quantifiable data was examined by using a Wilcoxon signed rank test and Cronbach’s alpha and the qualitative data was examined through thematic analysis. The results show that the execution of learning through mobile devices in the University of Jordan lacks the availability of advanced IT infrastructure. However, the examination of the focus group data shows that the participating students from Aston University and the University of Jordan experience the same concerns regarding mobile learning. For example, the undersized display of handheld devices and restrictive battery lifespan were mentioned by the participants at both universities as the restricting factors that limit the use of learning through mobiles. The research also found some contradictions between the extant literature and the research data obtained through three learning activities on the mobile learning content. For instance, the participants mentioned the battery life of mobile gadgets as a limitation but the literature revealed that with technological advancements in the form of availability of power bank devices, thus the issue of limited battery life is insignificant. The theoretical contribution of this research is the application of two mobile learning theories, TPACK theory and Connectivism theory for the creation of mobile learning content for this research. This research helps to examine the technology gap present in Jordan in contrast to the UK and identify the challenges and limitations of using communication devices for m-learning in Jordan; the technology gap between Aston University and the University of Jordan has been highlighted.

Hadwiger's conjecture for $\ell$-link graphs

description: In this paper we define and study a new family of graphs that generalises the notions of line graphs and path graphs. Let $G$ be a graph with no loops but possibly with parallel edges. An \emph{$\ell$-link} of $G$ is a walk of $G$ of length $\ell \geqslant 0$ in which consecutive edges are different. We identify an $\ell$-link with its reverse sequence. The \emph{$\ell$-link graph $\mathbb{L}_\ell(G)$} of $G$ is the graph with vertices the $\ell$-links of $G$, such that two vertices are joined by $μ\geqslant 0$ edges in $\mathbb{L}_\ell(G)$ if they correspond to two subsequences of each of $μ$ $(\ell + 1)$-links of $G$. By revealing a recursive structure, we bound from above the chromatic number of $\ell$-link graphs. As a corollary, for a given graph $G$ and large enough $\ell$, $\mathbb{L}_\ell(G)$ is $3$-colourable. By investigating the shunting of $\ell$-links in $G$, we show that the Hadwiger number of a nonempty $\mathbb{L}_\ell(G)$ is greater or equal to that of $G$. Hadwiger's conjecture states that the Hadwiger number of a graph is at least the chromatic number of that graph. The conjecture has been proved by Reed and Seymour (2004) for line graphs, and hence $1$-link graphs. We prove the conjecture for a wide class of $\ell$-link graphs.

description: Local Shannon entropy lies at the heart of modern thermodynamics, with much discussion of trajectory-dependent entropy production. When taken at both boundaries of a process in phase space, it reproduces the second law of thermodynamics over a finite time interval for small scale systems. However, given that entropy is an ensemble property, it has never been clear how one can assign such a quantity locally. Given such a fundamental omission in our knowledge, we construct a new ensemble composed of trajectories reaching an individual microstate, and show that locally defined entropy, information, and free energy are properties of the ensemble, or trajectory-independent true thermodynamic potentials. We find that the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution and Landauer's principle can be generalized naturally as properties of the ensemble, and that trajectory-free state functions of the ensemble govern the exact mechanism of non-equilibrium relaxation.

Quantum root-mean-square error and measurement uncertainty relations

description: Recent years have witnessed a controversy over Heisenberg's famous error-disturbance relation. Here we resolve the conflict by way of an analysis of the possible conceptualizations of measurement error and disturbance in quantum mechanics. We discuss two approaches to adapting the classic notion of root-mean-square error to quantum measurements. One is based on the concept of noise operator; its natural operational content is that of a mean deviation of the values of two observables measured jointly, and thus its applicability is limited to cases where such joint measurements are available. The second error measure quantifies the differences between two probability distributions obtained in separate runs of measurements and is of unrestricted applicability. We show that there are no nontrivial unconditional joint-measurement bounds for {\em state-dependent} errors in the conceptual framework discussed here, while Heisenberg-type measurement uncertainty relations for {\em state-independent} errors have been proven.
description: This second version has been substantially edited to ensure a balanced comparison of the two proposed quantum generalizations of the Gauss rms error concept. The limitations of the noise-operator based measure are highlighted more sharply with additional examples

description: We present observations and analysis of a sample of 123 galaxy clusters from the 2013 Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich sources with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI), a ground-based radio interferometer. AMI provides an independent measurement with higher angular resolution, 3 arcmin compared to the Planck beams of 5-10 arcmin. The AMI observations thus provide validation of the cluster detections, improved positional estimates, and a consistency check on the fitted 'size' ($θ_{s}$) and 'flux' ($Y_{\rm tot}$) parameters in the Generalised Navarro, Frenk and White (GNFW) model. We detect 99 of the clusters. We use the AMI positional estimates to check the positional estimates and error-bars produced by the Planck algorithms PowellSnakes and MMF3. We find that $Y_{\rm tot}$ values as measured by AMI are biased downwards with respect to the Planck constraints, especially for high Planck-SNR clusters. We perform simulations to show that this can be explained by deviation from the 'universal' pressure profile shape used to model the clusters. We show that AMI data can constrain the $α$ and $β$ parameters describing the shape of the profile in the GNFW model for individual clusters provided careful attention is paid to the degeneracies between parameters, but one requires information on a wider range of angular scales than are present in AMI data alone to correctly constrain all parameters simultaneously.

Schooling, Physical Education and the primary-secondary transition

description: Preliminary evidence indicates that although there have been attempts to ensure continuity across the primary-secondary transition (Tobell, 2003), discontinuities remain and that there is a "hiatus in progression" (Galton et al., 2000). For pupils the transition to secondary school is a time of change leaving their small familiar primary school and entering a large unfamiliar secondary school. This thesis presents pupils' expectations and experiences of the primary-secondary transition, across the curriculum and specifically with regards to Physical Education (PE). The primary-secondary transition with regards to PE is marked by significant changes in resource provision, and a mode of delivery from (mainly) non-specialist teachers to subject specialists (Capel and Piotrowski, 2000).
As an exploratory case study, an ethnographic approach was adopted with "pupil-voice" a distinctive and central feature. Two phases of fieldwork were conducted. The first phase examined Year 6 (aged 10-11) pupils' expectations of the primary-secondary transition at Urban Primary and tracked these pupils into City Comprehensive to explore their experiences (June-October 2011). The second phase of fieldwork examined the particularities of the transition concerned with PE. Once more, expectations of Year 6 pupils at Urban Primary were explored and tracked into City Comprehensive (June-October, 2012).
Thematic inductive analysis was conducted and there were four super-ordinate findings which relate to: pupils' perceptions of the process of transition across the curriculum and with regards to PE; the notion of "being good enough"; social implications of transition; concept of "growing up"; teachers and teaching. Findings suggest that these factors contribute to a discontinuous experience for pupils during transition. Future research directions point towards a focus on academia across transition and a consideration of the development in physical competence within primary school settings. Throughout this thesis reflexivity and reflection were used to provide an insight into the research journey as part of the doctoral apprenticeship.

Thermo-Galvanometric Instabilities in Magnetized Plasma Disks

description: In this work, we present a linear stability analysis of fully-ionized rotating plasma disks with a temperature gradient and a sub-thermal background magnetic field (oriented towards the axial direction). We describe how the plasma reacts when galvanometric and thermo-magnetic phenomena, such as Hall and Nernst-Ettingshausen effects, are taken into account, and meridian perturbations of the plasma are considered. It is shown how, in the ideal case, this leads to a significant overlap of the Magneto-rotational Instability and the Thermo-magnetic one. Considering dissipative effects, an overall damping of the unstable modes, although not sufficient to fully suppress the instability, appears especially in the thermo-magnetic related branch of the curve.
