description: The kurtosis and skewness of net baryon-number fluctuations are studied for the magnetized phase diagram of three-flavor quark matter within the Polyakov extended Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model. Two models with magnetic catalysis and inverse magnetic catalysis are considered. Special attention is given to their behavior in the neighborhood of the light and strange critical end points (CEPs). Several isentropic trajectories that come close the CEPs are studied in order to analyze possible signatures of a CEP in the presence of external magnetic fields. The effect of the magnetic field on the velocity of sound, $v_s^2$, when both the light and strange CEPs are approached from the crossover region is also investigated by calculating their temperature and baryon chemical potential dependencies at fixed distances from these CEPs. Regions with large fluctuations but no CEP in nonmagnetized matter develop a CEP under the action of a strong magnetic field. Besides, the Landau quantization of the quark trajectories may result in the appearance of extra CEPs, in particular, in the strange sector for strong magnetic fields, identifiable by the net baryon-number fluctuations. Stiffer (smoother) fluctuations in the region of the CEP are characteristic of models that do not predict (do predict) the inverse magnetic catalysis at zero chemical potential. Particularly interesting is the ratio $χ^4_B/χ^2_B$ that has a more pronounced peak structure, indicating that it is eventually a more convenient probe for the search of a CEP. The speed of sound shows a much richer structure in magnetized quark matter and allows one to identify both chiral and deconfinement transitions.

We find that the Li--Sokal bound on the autocorrelation time ($τ_{{\rm int},{\cal E}} \ge {\rm const} \times C_H$) holds along the self-dual curve of the symmetric Ashkin--Teller model, but this bound is apparently not sharp. The ratio $τ_{{\rm int},{\cal E}}/C_H$ appears to tend to infinity either as a logarithm or as a small power ($0.05 \ltapprox p \ltapprox 0.12$).

The presence of a critical end point in the QCD phase diagram from the net-baryon number fluctuations

description: The net-baryon number fluctuations for three-flavor quark matter are computed within the Polyakov extended Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model. Two models with vanishing and nonvanishing vector interactions are considered. While the former predicts a critical end point (CEP) in the phase diagram, the latter predicts no CEP. We show that the nonmonotonic behavior of the susceptibilities in the phase diagram is still present even in the absence of a CEP. Therefore, from the nonmonotonic behavior of the susceptibilities solely, one cannot assume the existence of a CEP. We analyze other possible properties that may distinguish the two scenarios, and determine the behavior of the net-baryon number fluctuations and the velocity of sound along several isentropes, with moderate and small values. It is shown that the value of the susceptibilities ratios and the velocity of sound at two or three isentropic lines could possibly allow to distinguish both scenarios, a phase diagram with or without CEP. Smoother behaviors of these quantities may indicate the nonexistence of a CEP. We also discuss the critical behavior of the strange sector.

description: Human papillomavirus (HPV) has a great impact on world health. Vaccination is among the most important methods of preventing HPV infection. This study investigated Chinese male college students’ knowledge of, attitude toward, and acceptance of the 9vHPV vaccine and the independent predictors. An online cross-sectional study was conducted among male college students at Chinese colleges and universities from March 12 to March 23, 2022. Based on a literature review of similar studies, a self-questionnaire was designed to investigate the students’ knowledge of, attitude toward, and acceptance of the 9vHPV vaccine. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing their willingness to be vaccinated. In addition, the structural equation model was constructed. A total of 1,547 male college students completed the survey. Of all the students, 54.95% were unwilling to receive a 9vHPV vaccination, while only 45.05% expressed willingness. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the male college students willing to receive the vaccine included medical students, those in a romantic relationship, those whose relatives and friends had cervical cancer, those whose relatives and friends had received the 9vHPV vaccine, those supportive of promoting the vaccine for men, and those who would recommend the vaccine to their relatives and friends. Male college students exhibited high hesitancy toward the 9vHPV vaccine. Acceptance of the 9vHPV vaccine by male college students can be improved by deepening their accurate understanding of the vaccine and enhancing their positive attitude toward it.

The phenomenology of light-flavour mesonic states is then corroborated by the Shannon's information. Tachyonic bulk corrections to the dynamical AdS/QCD show more dominant and abundant dual mesonic states in the 4D boundary QCD, when compared to the dual mesons in the standard dynamical AdS/QCD.

description: We propose the model of $D-$dimensional massless particle whose Lagrangian is given by the $N-$th extrinsic curvature of world-line. The system has $N+1$ gauge degrees of freedom constituting $W-$like algebra; the classical trajectories of the model are space-like curves which obey the conditions $k_{N+a}=k_{N-a}$, $k_{2N}=0$, $a=1,...,N-1$, $N\leq[(D-2)/2]$, while the first $N$ curvatures $k_i$ remain arbitrary. We show that the model admits consistent formulation on the anti-De Sitter space. The solutions of the system are the massless irreducible representations of Poincaré group with $N$ nonzero helicities, which are equal to each other.

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.

Observed Redshift Distributions and Cosmological Evolution of Radio Sources

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: It is shown that the new observed redshift distributions of various flux-limited samples of radio sources in general are consistent with the predictions of two basic evolutionary models published by Condon (1984) and Dunlop and Peacock (1990), i.e. none of them can be rejected at the confidence level of about 95 per cent. However, the models allowing a free-form evolution and suggesting both density and luminosity evolution are more consistent with the observational data at lower redshifts, while the 'pure luminosity evolution' model fits better the data at higher redshifts. This leads to a suspicion that the same evolution governing all radio sources, suggested by Condon (1984), might not be the case.

description: While vaccines have played a pivotal role in the fight against infectious diseases, individuals engage in online resources to find vaccine-related support and information. The benefits and consequences of these online peers are unclear and mainly cause a behavioral shift in user sentiment toward vaccination. This scoping review aims to identify the community and individual factors that longitudinally influence public behavior toward vaccination. The secondary aim is to gain insight into techniques and methodologies used to extract these factors from Twitter data. We followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines to search various online repositories. From this search process, a total of 28 most relevant articles out of 705 relevant studies. Three main themes emerged including individual and community factors influencing public attitude toward vaccination, and techniques employed to identify these factors. Anti-vax, Pro-vax, and neutral are the major communities, while misinformation, vaccine campaign, and user demographics are the common individual factors assessed during this reviewing process. Twitter user sentiment (positive, negative, and neutral) and emotions (fear, trust, sadness) were also discussed to identify the intentions to accept or refuse vaccines. SVM, LDA, BERT are the techniques used for topic modeling, while Louvain, NodeXL, and Infomap algorithms are used for community detection. This research is notable for being the first systematic review that emphasizes the dearth of longitudinal studies and the methodological and underlying practical constraints underpinning the lucrative implementation of an explainable and longitudinal behavior analysis system. Moreover, new possible research directions are suggested for the researchers to perform accurate human behavior analysis.
Modelling the Dynamics of Translocated Populations
Creators: name: Chauvenet, Aliénor Louise Marie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Climate change is widely accepted as one of the worst threat to the world’s biodiversity. A recently proposed solution to help species survive climate change is “assisted colonisation”, i.e. translocations of species to more suitable sites. Although assisted colonisation could be a powerful conservation tool, translocations are known to have a low success rate despite being commonly-used. Before promoting assisted colonisation as a solution, we need to make two major advances: first, understand how translocated species will respond to a changing climate and if their population viability will be compromised and, second, develop a quantitative framework to improve the success rates of conservation translocation under global environmental change. Those were the two aims of my thesis. The hihi (stitchbird; Notiomystis cincta ) was used as a study species. It has been the subject of several translocations in the past few decades and every translocated population is intensely monitored, yielding long-term demographic datasets. Climate was found to be a key factor in the dynamics of translocated population, and thus viability. However, it may also interact with other intrinsic factors like density and age to influence species’ long-term persistence. A stochastic population model built to quantify the potential impacts of future climate change on translocated populations’ long-term persistence showed the importance of taking into account the impact of longer and more frequent extreme weather on translocated population’s viability. Moreover, MaxEnt was found to be a good habitat suitability model for translocated populations and used to identify future translocation sites for the hihi under climate change. Finally, quantitative guidelines for the planning and implementation of assisted colonisations were developed. They address the known issues impeding translocation success, and, if used, will maximise the success of assisted colonisations.

Synthesis and evaluation of receptors for phosphatidylinositol phosphates
Creators: name: Whyte, Gillian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) are signalling phospholipids with a diverse set of cellular functions. The most important of these PIPs are phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5) trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3). These two are responsible for a number of cellular events which regulate cell growth, proliferation and apoptosis. Deregulation of PIP levels disrupts these pathways and can therefore lead to uncontrolled cell growth and which can lead to tumourigenesis. Control of PIP levels has been identified as a potential target for diagnosis and intervention in diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and the genetic disorder Lowe Syndrome. The use of small molecules that bind PIPs has been shown by our group to interfere with protein-PIP interactions. By preventing proteins from binding to PIPs, the effective concentration of the target PIP is reduced, proteins are not recruited to the membrane for activation and downstream signalling pathways are attenuated. Therefore, in this project a series of small artificial receptors were synthesised and were shown to bind PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3. The aim of this was to control their effective levels and manipulate their downstream signalling pathways. PI(4,5)P2-binding receptors were developed based on existing lead compounds established within our group. Comparison of a receptor with only one binding motif with the established two motif receptor showed differences in affinity as well as specificity for the phospholipid target PI(4,5)P2 over the headgroup IP3. In cells, the effect of the receptors on the downstream signalling pathways was examined using phosphorylated Akt as an indicator of this pathway’s activation. Two fluorescent receptors were designed and one of these was used as a novel PI(4,5)P2 detection tool on immobilised phospholipid. Preliminary results show that this receptor may also be used to directly image PI(4,5)P2 in fixed cells. Novel PI(3,4,5)P3 receptors were designed with phosphate-binding motifs and a range of spacers. The specificity of each receptor was identified and binding affinities towards PI(3,4,5)P3 were established. Inhibition of protein-lipid interaction and inhibition of PIP-metabolising enzymes were also studied. The effect of these new receptors in attenuating the Akt pathway in cancer cells was also investigated, and they were found to lack the efficacy of PI(4,5)P2-binding receptors. The ability of some of these artificial receptors to bind phospholipids in the cell and affect subsequent signalling pathways indicates that phospholipids are a viable additional drug targets for many diseases.

description: In this paper we study the spectrum of all conformal, ${\cal N}$-extended supergravities (${\cal N}=1,2,3,4$) in four space-time dimensions. When these theories are obtained as massless limit of Einstein plus Weyl$^2$supergravity, the appropriate counting of the enhanced gauge symmetries allow us to derive the massless spectrum which consist of a dipole ghost graviton multiplet, a ${\cal N}$-fold tripole ghost gravitino, the third state belonging to a spin 3/2 multiplet and a residual vector multiplet present for non-maximal ${\cal N}<4$ theories. These theories are not expected to have a standard gravity holographic dual in five dimensions.

Mycardial applications of cardiovascular x-ray computed tomography
Creators: name: Stirrup, James Elliott
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This thesis evaluated the role of cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) in assessing the left ventricular (LV) myocardium. The technical and clinical performance of single-slice CT for attenuation correction (CTAC) of SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) was evaluated. Early and delayed multi-slice CT (eCCT and dCCT respectively) myocardial enhancement patterns were validated against SPECT MPS (single-source CCT) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR, dual-source CCT) for detection of chronic myocardial infarction (MI), as were CCT measures of segmental LV wall thickness and global and regional LV function. Impact of cardiac phase and reconstruction kernel on agreement with SPECT MPS was also measured. The following results were shown: CTAC showed no benefits on MPS report or reporter confidence when studied in a way that reflects clinical practice; dCCT best identifies segmental MI, showing good agreement and high specificity, negative predictive value and accuracy compared with SPECT MPS and CMR; choice of smooth or medium-smooth reconstruction kernel appears relatively unimportant; dual-energy dCCT may be more sensitive for segmental MI on CMR; CCT end-systolic wall thickness is a better predictor of myocardial scarring on MPS and CMR than end-diastolic wall thickness; CCT overestimates end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes on MPS but LV ejection fraction is equivalent; CCT shows no systematic differences in measures of global LV function when compared to CMR; measures of regional ventricular function on CCT show excellent and good agreement with MPS and CMR respectively; inter- and intraobserver agreement for dCCT myocardial enhancement patterns and regional LV function is excellent.

Investigating the gasket function and perforin secretion of the natural killer cell immune synapse
Creators: name: Cartwright, Adam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Natural Killer (NK) cells interact with other cells through a structured interface, the immune synapse (IS). A balance of signals controls NK cell activity through ligation of activating and inhibitory receptors. If signaling favours activation, NK cells mediate the directed secretion of cytotoxic mediators, such as perforin (PFN). To test whether the IS also functions as a gasket to extracellular molecules, fluorescently labeled nanometer-scale dextrans of varying sizes were co-incubated with effector-target cell-cell conjugates. Quantitative fluorescence microscopy of synapses revealed that dextrans with hydrodynamic diameters ≥32 nm were excluded from activating synapses, whilst smaller dextrans could enter. Size-dependent exclusion required an intact filamentous actin scaffold, but not continuous reorganisation following synapse formation. Time-lapse microscopy further revealed that the synapse assembles in a zipper-like manner, clearing larger dextran from the synapse. In addition, monoclonal antibodies and low-density lipoproteins were also excluded from the IS, whereas smaller domain antibodies could penetrate. NK cells can lyse more than one target in series. Whilst it is known that, among other proteins, PFN is secreted to lyse diseased cells, the amount of PFN secreted by NK cells is currently unknown. To quantify PFN release following stimulation through NKG2D or CD16, NK cells were plated on protein-coated surfaces that could capture PFN. Quantification using fluorescence microscopy revealed that PFN secretion was analogue, varying with increased ligand density. Simulating serial killing, repeated stimulation decreased the amount of PFN secreted with sequential activation. Unexpectedly, CD16 stimulation following serial NKG2D ligation recovered this decrease in secretion, however a similar recovery was not seen under reciprocal conditions. These data show that the activating IS clears and excludes extracellular molecules, including antibodies, in a size-dependent manner. Further, NK cell PFN secretion is an analogue response that varies with both ligand density and the receptors ligated in series.

description: The spin inertia measurement is a recently emerged tool to study slow spin dynamics, which is based on the excitation of the system by a train of circularly polarized pulses with alternating helicity. Motivated by the experimental results reported in E. A. Zhukov et al., arXiv:1806.11100 we develop the general theory of spin inertia of localized charge carriers. We demonstrate that the spin inertia measurement in longitudinal magnetic field allows one to determine the parameters of the spin dynamics of resident charge carriers and of photoexcited trions, such as the spin relaxation times, longitudinal g-factors, parameters of hyperfine interaction and nuclear spin correlation times.

Latent-Class Hough Forests for 3D object detection and pose estimation of rigid objects
Creators: name: Tejani, Alykhan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis we propose a novel framework, Latent-Class Hough Forests, for the problem of 3D object detection and pose estimation in heavily cluttered and occluded scenes. Firstly, we adapt the state-of-the-art template-based representation, LINEMOD [34, 36], into a scale-invariant patch descriptor and integrate it into a regression forest using a novel template-based split function. In training, rather than explicitly collecting representative negative samples, our method is trained on positive samples only and we treat the class distributions at the leaf nodes as latent variables. During the inference process we iteratively update these distributions, providing accurate estimation of background clutter and foreground occlusions and thus a better detection rate. Furthermore, as a by-product, the latent class distributions can provide accurate occlusion aware segmentation masks, even in the multi-instance scenario. In addition to an existing public dataset, which contains only single-instance sequences with large amounts of clutter, we have collected a new, more challenging, dataset for multiple-instance detection containing heavy 2D and 3D clutter as well as foreground occlusions. We evaluate the Latent-Class Hough Forest on both of these datasets where we outperform state-of-the art methods.

The 4-component meningococcal serogroup B (4CMenB) vaccine contains three purified recombinant protein antigens (Neisseria adhesin A [NadA], factor H binding protein [fHbp], and Neisserial Heparin Binding Antigen [NHBA]) and outer membrane vesicles (OMV), which is derived from the New Zealand epidemic strain and contains Porin A 1.4. These antigens are present and conserved in strains that belong to other serogroups. In this study, we show that 10/11 (91%) meningococcal serogroup W (MenW) strains selected to be representative of MenW isolates that caused IMD in Argentina during 2010–2011 were killed in bactericidal assays by the sera of adolescents and infants who had been immunized with the 4CMenB vaccine. We also show that MenW strains that caused IMD in Argentina during 2018–2021 were genetically similar to the earlier strains, indicating that the 4CMenB vaccine would likely still provide protection against current MenW strains. These data highlight the potential of 4CMenB vaccination to protect adolescents and infants against MenW strains that are endemic in Argentina.

description: We present a new distance determination to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds using the newly developed red clump stars method (Paczynski and Stanek 1998). This new, single-step, Hipparcos calibrated method seems to be one of the most precise techniques of distance determination with very small statistical error due to large number of red clump stars usually available. The distances were determined independently along four lines-of-sight located at opposite sides of each Magellanic Cloud. The results for each line-of-sight are very consistent. For the SMC we obtain the distance modulus: m-M=18.56+/-0.03+/-0.06 mag (statistical and systematic errors, respectively) and for the LMC: m-M=18.08+/-0.03+/-0.12} mag where systematic errors are mostly due to uncertainty in reddening estimates. Both distances will be refined and systematic errors reduced when accurate reddening maps for our fields are available. Distance moduli to both Magellanic Clouds are ~0.4 mag smaller than generally accepted values. The modulus to the LMC is in good agreement with the recent determinations from RR Lyrae type stars and upper limit resulting from the SN1987A echo. We suspect that the distance to the LMC and SMC is shorter by about 15% than previously assumed: 42 kpc and 52 kpc, respectively. We also present our color-magnitude diagrams around the red clump for the LMC and SMC. We identify vertical red clump, first noted by Zaritsky and Lin (1997), in the color-magnitude diagram of both Magellanic Clouds and we interpret it as an evolutionary feature rather than unknown stellar population between the LMC and our Galaxy.

description: We report the discovery of an esdL3 subdwarf, ULAS J020858.62+020657.0, and a usdL4.5 subdwarf, ULAS J230711.01+014447.1. They were identified as L subdwarfs by optical spectra obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias, and followed up by optical-to-near-infrared spectroscopy with the Very Large Telescope. We also obtained an optical-to-near-infrared spectrum of a previously known L subdwarf, ULAS J135058.85+081506.8, and reclassified it as a usdL3 subdwarf. These three objects all have typical halo kinematics. They have $T_{\rm eff}$ around 2050$-$2250 K, $-$1.8 $\leq$ [Fe/H] $\leq -$1.5, and mass around 0.0822$-$0.0833 M$_{\odot}$, according to model spectral fitting and evolutionary models. These sources are likely halo transitional brown dwarfs with unsteady hydrogen fusion, as their masses are just below the hydrogen-burning minimum mass, which is $\sim$ 0.0845 M$_{\odot}$ at [Fe/H] = $-$1.6 and $\sim$ 0.0855 M$_{\odot}$ at [Fe/H] = $-$1.8. Including these, there are now nine objects in the `halo brown dwarf transition zone', which is a `substellar subdwarf gap' that spans a wide temperature range within a narrow mass range of the substellar population.

The epidemiology of Phytophthora ramorum on Larix in the UK
Creators: name: Harris, Anna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Phytophthora ramorum is the cause of Sudden Oak Death in the USA and also infects many ornamental shrub species in both North America and Europe. In addition, it is now causing widespread disease in UK commercial larch plantations. The epidemiology of P. ramorum including sporulation potential, pathogenicity, ability to persist and the changing threat posed by the recently discovered EU2 lineage of the pathogen were investigated. Results indicated that all three species of commercially grown larch in the UK are not only able to support prolific sporulation of P. ramorum (approximately 960 sporangia per cm2) but are similarly vulnerable to bark colonisation, resulting in extensive dieback and mortality. Sporulation of P. ramorum on larch foliage exceeded that of all known sporulating hosts, including Californian bay laurel (approximately 77 sporangia per cm2), which drives epidemics in North America. Sporulation potential on foliage and larch bark susceptibility varied significantly over the growing season and with genotype. Sporulation on larch foliage was highest in summer but lower in spring and autumn. In contrast, susceptibility of larch bark was highest in spring and decreased in late summer. Asymptomatic infection of foliage occurred early in the year with symptom development mainly seen on old foliage and late in the year. Phytophthora ramorum also persisted in the litter layer but not the soil for up to two years after removal of infected Japanese larch in south-east England. In comparison with the widespread EU1 lineage, the EU2 had a faster grow rate over 2.5-29°C and was significantly more pathogenic to Japanese larch, European larch and English oak bark. However, isolates of the EU2 lineage produced significantly lower inoculum loads than the EU1 suggesting a trade-off between pathogenicity and sporulation. The implications of the aggressive nature of P. ramorum infection on commercially grown larch, its persistence on infested sites and the new established adaptively different EU2 lineage are discussed in relation to the future of disease management in the UK.

Development of a point kinetics model with thermal hydraulic feedback of an aqueous homogeneous reactor for medical isotope production
Creators: name: Cooling, Christopher
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis presents the development of a model of the Medical Isotope Production Reactor (MIPR): a conceptual Aqueous Homogeneous Reactor (AHR). The model is a point kinetics model with zero and one-dimensional thermal hydraulic feedbacks. Three versions of the model of increasing complexity are presented and a number of scenarios are modelled with each version. The results of these simulations shows the stability of the reactor against reactivity insertions caused by the strong negative reactivity feedbacks inherent to AHRs. The first version of the model is modified using intrusive polynomial chaos in order to simulate the effects of uncertainty in key parameters. This allows a novel study into which physical parameters and processes are important at each stage of a transient and in determining steady state conditions. The final version of the model is used to model the CRAC-43 experiment and, after modification to include the delay of radiolytic gas production which accompanies the start up of an AHR, good agreement was found between model and experiment. The development of the equations, correlations and parameters used in the model is approached from the point of view of the governing physics. This approach to model development enables a comprehensive exploration of the physical processes underpinning the behaviour of AHRs. As well as being one of the most complete and fundamentally based models of an AHR presented within the literature, the final model is also extremely versatile and general. Given the appropriate input neutronic and thermal-hydraulic data the model presented in this thesis should be able to simulate a very wide range of AHR behaviour.

description: We have computed the four-loop contribution to the beta-function and to the anomalous dimension of the field for the two-dimensional lattice $N$-vector model. This allows the determination of the second perturbative correction to various long-distance quantities like the correlation lengths and the susceptibilities. We compare these predictions with new Monte Carlo data for $N = 3,4,8$. From these data we also extract the values of various universal nonperturbative constants, which we compare with the predictions of the $1/N$ expansion.

description: The spin dynamics in a broad range of systems can be studied using circularly polarized optical excitation with alternating helicity. The dependence of spin polarization on the frequency of helicity alternation, known as the spin inertia effect, is used here to study the spin dynamics in singly-charged (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) providing insight into spin generation and accumulation processes. We demonstrate that the dependence of spin polarization in $n$- and $p$-type QDs on the external magnetic field has a characteristic V- and M-like shape, respectively. This difference is related to different microscopic mechanisms of resident carriers spin orientation. It allows us to determine the parameters of the spin dynamics both for the ground and excited states of singly-charged QDs.
