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: Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibres are firmly established as a new high-performance fibre, but their tensile mechanical properties remain a relatively small fraction of those of the constituent CNTs. Clear structure-property relations and accurate mechanical models are pressing requirements to bridge this gap. In this work we analyse the structural evolution and molecular stress transfer in CNT fibres by performing in-situ synchrotron wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering and Raman spectroscopy during tensile deformation. The results show that CNT fibres can be accurately described as network of bundles that slide progressively according to the initial orientation distribution function of the material following a Weibull distribution. This model decouples the effects of CNT alignment and degree of cooperative loading, as demonstrated for fibres produced at different draw ratios. It also helps explain the unusually high toughness (fracture energy) of CNT fibres produced by the direct spinning method, a key property for impact resistance in structural materials, for example.

description: This paper identifies, discusses and proposes a strategy to be employed by Caribbean countries as they retool their agricultural sector to deal with the competitive challenges offered by the new international trading regime. In presenting their thesis, the authors argue that Caribbean countries, as a matter ofurgency, should undertake to acquire the technological capability that will allow them to compete effectively in the new deregulated market place. In this new market environment, countries must devise and put in place procedures which are transparent and scientifically verifiable in order to meet the international standards for food safety. quality and environmental conservation promulgated in a series ofprotocols such as Codcx Alimentarius, ISO-9000, ISO-l400 and HACCP. The authors stress the value ofinterdisciplinary applied research as a viable strategy and propose a new institutional approach - a Caribbean Centre for Applied Biosystems Research - which would develop a market-driven agricultural technology system for the region. The centre will bring together a network ofthree USA universities, Caribbean business interests, research and academic institutions to work collaboratively in developing an international obligations. The centre will facilitate sustainable development of the. region's natural resource endowment through the application of information and biotechnologies, mobilize the creative forces iri the region, create technologies for producing and maintaining a competitive portfolio of products and services, and develop and maintain partnerships with international agencies having similar goals.

description: Previously we found that large amplitude $r$-modes could decay catastrophically due to nonlinear hydrodynamic effects. In this paper we found the particular coupling mechanism responsible for this catastrophic decay, and identified the fluid modes involved. We find that for a neutron star described by a polytropic equation of state with polytropic index $Γ=2$, the coupling strength of the particular three-mode interaction causing the decay is strong enough that the usual picture of the $r$-mode instability with a flow pattern dominated by that of an $r$-mode can only be valid for the dimensionless $r$-mode amplitude less than $O(10^{-2})$.

Characterization of Semaphorin 5B in avian visual system development
Creators: name: Wood, Jacqueline Leigh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The development of the avian retinotectal projection is a well established model for the study of axon guidance and topographic map formation. Here we employed irnrnunoflourescence to demonstrate that the guidance molecule, Semaphorin 5B, is expressed differentially across the tectum during the time that retinal ganglion cell axons extend into and establish their connections. Beginning on embryonic day 5, a robust anterior to posterior and dorsal to ventral gradient was observed. Highest expression was localized to the superficial SGFS cell layer and continued until embryonic day 12. In vitro analysis using a cell island assay indicated that retinal ganglion cell neurites make significantly fewer contacts and avoid cells expressing Semaphorin 5B in comparison to control cells. No temporal or spatial disparity in response was observed, as RGC’s from all ages examined (E5-E8) and all locations of the retina, responded similarly to Semaphorin 5B. Interestingly, irnrnunoflourescence examination revealed that Semaphorin 5B is also highly expressed within the developing RGC layer of the avian retina. Further analysis indicated that Semaphorin 5B protein is spatially restricted to RGC perikarya and was not observed in RGC neurites at this stage of development. Together this data implicates Semaphorin 5B as an inhibitory guidance molecule expressed in both the retina and optic tectum in regions adjacent to developing RGC neurites. This study identifies Semaphorin 5B as a novel RGC guidance cue and provides the first evidence of transmembrane semaphorin involvement in RGC axon arbourization and target selection.

description: Localisation phenomena in highly disordered metals close to the extreme conditions determined by the Mott-Ioffe-Regel (MIR) limit when the electron mean free path is approximately equal to the interatomic distance is a challenging problem. Here, to shed light on these localisation phenomena, we studied the dc transport and optical conductivity properties of nanoscaled multilayered films composed of disordered metallic Ta and magnetic FeNi nanoisland layers, where ferromagnetic FeNi nanoislands have giant magnetic moments of 10^3-10^5 Bohr magnetons (μ_B). In these multilayered structures, FeNi nanoisland giant magnetic moments are interacting due to the indirect exchange forces acting via the Ta electron subsystem. We discovered that the localisation phenomena in the disordered Ta layer lead to a decrease in the Drude contribution of free charge carriers and the appearance of the low-energy electronic excitations in the 1-2 eV spectral range characteristic of electronic correlations, which may accompany the formation of electronic inhomogeneities. From the consistent results of the dc transport and optical studies we found that with an increase in the FeNi layer thickness across the percolation threshold evolution from the superferromagnetic to ferromagnetic behaviour within the FeNi layer leads to the delocalisation of Ta electrons from the associated localised electronic states. On the contrary, we discovered that when the FeNi layer is discontinuous and represented by randomly distributed superparamagnetic FeNi nanoislands, the Ta layer normalized dc conductivity falls down below the MIR limit by about 60%. The discovered effect leading to the dc conductivity fall below the MIR limit can be associated with non-ergodicity and purely quantum (many-body) localisation phenomena, which need to be challenged further.

description: The distribution of higher order level spacings, i.e. the distribution of $\{s_{i}^{(n)}=E_{i+n}-E_{i}\}$ with $n\geq 1$ is derived analytically using a Wigner-like surmise for Gaussian ensembles of random matrix as well as Poisson ensemble. It is found $s^{(n)}$ in Gaussian ensembles follows a generalized Wigner-Dyson distribution with rescaled parameter $α=νC_{n+1}^2+n-1$, while that in Poisson ensemble follows a generalized semi-Poisson distribution with index $n$. Numerical evidences are provided through simulations of random spin systems as well as non-trivial zeros of Riemann zeta function. The higher order generalizations of gap ratios are also discussed.

description: The polytropic (adiabatic) index for pure hydrogen plasma is analytically calculated as function of reciprocal temperature and degree of ionization. Additionally, the polytropic index is graphically represented as a function of temperature and density. It is concluded that the partially ionized hydrogen plasma cannot be exactly polytropic. The calculated deviations from the mono-atomic value 5/3 are measurable. The analytical result for pure hydrogen plasma is a test example how this approach can be extended for arbitrary gas cocktail.

description: Jamaica's 3,000 dairy fanners produced 27 million litres ofmilk in 1997 out ofa total annual national consumption of about 150 million litres equivalent ofmilk and dairy products. The industry is faced with the problems of:- dumping 125,000 litres of milk so far in 1998; decline in production from 38 million litres in 1992 to 27 million litres in 1997; competition from cheap dumped imports at low duties; the highest farmgate and consumer prices in the world, a majority of small or inefficient dairy plants; high margin inefficient retailers, and dairy farmers getting only 33% of the consumer dollar. Additionally, poor veterinary and breeding services, high interest rates, high cost of inputs and market uncertainty are causes for concern. Milk producers in Jamaica are debating the formation ofa miJk producer federation in order to operate large processing facilities and sell milk: directly to consumers at $40 - $50 per litre as compared to the current price of$60 - $68. The federation would increase production and productivity by providing cheaper inputs, improved veterinary and breeding services, provide guaranteed market for farmers' milk and save the Jamaica Hope Breed,
title: An Evaluation of Performance Enhancements to Particle Swarm Optimisation on Real-World Data
Creators: name: Kenny, Ian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Swarm Computation is a relatively new optimisation paradigm. The basic premise is to model the collective behaviour of self-organised natural phenomena such as swarms, flocks and shoals, in order to solve optimisation problems. Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is a type of swarm computation inspired by bird flocks or swarms of bees by modelling their collective social influence as they search for optimal solutions. In many real-world applications of PSO, the algorithm is used as a data pre-processor for a neural network or similar post processing system, and is often extensively modified to suit the application. The thesis introduces techniques that allow unmodified PSO to be applied successfully to a range of problems, specifically three extensions to the basic PSO algorithm: solving optimisation problems by training a hyperspatial matrix, using a hierarchy of swarms to coordinate optimisation on several data sets simultaneously, and dynamic neighbourhood selection in swarms. Rather than working directly with candidate solutions to an optimisation problem, the PSO algorithm is adapted to train a matrix of weights, to produce a solution to the problem from the inputs. The search space is abstracted from the problem data. A single PSO swarm optimises a single data set and has difficulties where the data set comprises disjoint parts (such as time series data for different days). To address this problem, we introduce a hierarchy of swarms, where each child swarm optimises one section of the data set whose gbest particle is a member of the swarm above in the hierarchy. The parent swarm(s) coordinate their children and encourage more exploration of the solution space. We show that hierarchical swarms of this type perform better than single swarm PSO optimisers on the disjoint data sets used. PSO relies on interaction between particles within a neighbourhood to find good solutions. In many PSO variants, possible interactions are arbitrary and fixed on initialisation. Our third contribution is a dynamic neighbourhood selection: particles can modify their neighbourhood, based on the success of the candidate neighbour particle. As PSO is intended to reflect the social interaction of agents, this change significantly increases the ability of the swarm to find optimal solutions. Applied to real-world medical and cosmological data, this modification is and shows improvements over standard PSO approaches with fixed neighbourhoods.

description: A crucial component to maximizing the science gain from the multi-messenger follow-up of gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary mergers is the prompt discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart. Ideally, the GW detection and localization must be reported early enough to allow for telescopes to slew to the location of the GW-event before the onset of the counterpart. However, the time available for early warning is limited by the short duration spent by the dominant ($\ell = m = 2$) mode within the detector's frequency band. Nevertheless, we show that, including higher modes - which enter the detector's sensitivity band well before the dominant mode - in GW searches, can enable us to significantly improve the early warning ability for compact binaries with asymmetric masses (such as neutron-star-black-hole binaries). We investigate the reduction in the localization sky-area when the $\ell = m = 3$ and $\ell = m = 4$ modes are included in addition to the dominant mode, considering typical slew-times of electromagnetic telescopes ($30-60$ sec). We find that, in LIGO's projected "O5" ("Voyager") network with five GW detectors, some of the neutron-star-black-hole mergers, located at a distance of $40$ Mpc, can be localized to a few hundred sq. deg. $\sim 45$ sec prior to the merger, corresponding to a reduction-factor of $3-4$ ($5-6$) in sky-area. For a third-generation network, we get gains of up to 1.5 minutes in early warning times for a localization area of $100$ sq. deg., even when the source is placed at $100$ Mpc.

description: The sustainability of the Martinican sugarcane, sugar, and rum sector goes through a rationalization of agricutural production development and its suitability with the industrial demand in raw material. This also implies suitability between the sugar and rum industry supply and consummers' demand. If «productivity» and «products quality» underly research-development programs for this sector, it is important to emphasize the key social and economic role played by the small sugarcane growers. One of the symptoms of sugarcane sector unease is precisely the decrease in the number of small growers, while, after the 1999 harvest, a real will of increasing the sugarcane planted area is arising, it is important to follow this reflextion. The social and technical analysis of sugarcane production systems will allow for exploration of means leading to sustanability of the exploitations, and therefore of the sector.

description: The policy recommendations developed within TeRRItoria address RRI integration into all stages entailed by a policy’s lifespan –starting from its design and reaching up to sustaining its results. The recommendations are therefore outlined with respect to: i) the design stage of regional policies and S3 (including the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process – EDP); ii) the implementation stage of regional policies and S3; iii) the stage of monitoring and evaluation; iv) some overall suggestions, highlighting aspects to be generally considered when attempting to integrate RRI principles in regional innovation; v) some suggestions for enhancing the sustainability of RRI-driven regional policies and their results. The contribution of these policy recommendations lies in enhancing the development of responsible regional R&I policies, in developing an indicative but robust basis for the creation of multi-level and steering regional governance system, and ultimately enhancing a smooth and non-fragmented transition to S4+ (Smart Specialization Strategies for Sustainability). As for their follow-up utilisation, the TeRRItoria policy recommendations can ultimately be exploited by various groups dealing with the future of regional innovation and S3 in the light of RRI, namely: i) Quadruple Helix stakeholders involved in R&I at the local and regional level; ii) National, regional and local authorities involved in the regional innovation cycle; ii) the EC and its agencies involved with planning and monitoring R&I, including the JRC S3 platform.

description: The drink made from Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is very popular in the Virgin Islands and can be found at roadside stands and during cultural events. Seven varieties of the yellow passion fruit, Passiflora edulis f. j/avicarpa, were evaluated for growth and produetion on T-trellises in the USVI. During the first 20 days post anthesis, fruit size increases quickly at a rate of 2.7 mm/day followed by reduced growth of 0.35 mrn/day from day 21 to 50. Passion fruit vines, established in the field in May, produced the first erop starting in November and lasting through January. 'Noel's Special' had the largest fruits at 81.87 g while the 'UVI Yellow' produced 263.3 fruits/vine. The lowest production, 115 fruits/vine, and smallest fruits, 51.5 glfruit, were obtained on a Taiwanese hybrid. The high initial investment in establishing passion fruit vines can be offset by income generated from the first years production.

description: This research was conducted to determine fertilizer requirement for maintaining a stable bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) and Florida carpon desmodium (.Desmodium heterocarpon (L.) DC cv. 'Florida') mixed pasture. Four replicates of seven fertilizer treatments: 56 kg Ν ha"1; 29 kg Ρ ha*1; 56 kg Κ ha'1; 22 kg S ha"1; 45 kg ha"1 of a micronutrient mix containing 24 g Β kg"1, 24 g Cu kg"1, 144 g Fe kg" \ 60 g Μη kg"1, 6 g Mo kg"1, and 56 g Zn kg"1; 29 kg Ρ ha"1 + 56 kg Κ ha"1 + 22 kg S ha"1 + 45 kg micronutrient mix ha*1 (mixed fertilizer); and no fertilizer (control) were randomly assigned to the same 7.6-m by 15.2-m plots in June 1996 and 1997. Metal exclosure cages (2 m by 2 m) were used to protect forage from cattle between June and November. Forage was harvested once in November 1996 and 1997 and separated into grass and legume components. Tissue mineral composition (Ν, Ρ, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Μη, Zn, and Β) was analyzed separately for each component. Total (grass + legume) forage dry matter yield (DMY) ranged from 6.3 to 7.8 Mg ha"1, but there was no fertilizer treatment effect. The bahiagrass: carpon desmodium ratio for control DMY averaged 58:42 each year. Relative to the control, Ν application increased the bahiagrass:carpon desmodium DMY ratio to 79:21, whereas the mixed fertilizer treatment decreased the ratio to 44:56. Of the major nutrients, Ρ and Κ fertilizer increased carpon desmodium concentrations for each respective element, Κ fertilizer increased bahiagrass tissue K, and Ν fertilizer had no effect on tissue Ν concentration of either forage. Bahiagrass Ν was increased by the mixed fertilizer. Besides Mg and Β in bahiagrass and Mn and Cu. .in carpon desmodium, no other tissue macro- or micronutrients were altered by fertilizer treatments. The study has demonstrated a need for periodic application of Ρ, K, and micronutrients fertilizer to maintain productivity of grass-legume systems in sub-tropics.

We classify all half-flat SU(3) structures that endow the rank-one solvable extension of N with a conformally parallel G_2 structure. By suitably deforming the SU(3) structures obtained, we are able to describe the corresponding non-homogeneous Ricci-flat metrics with holonomy contained in G_2. In the process we also find a new metric with exceptional holonomy.

description: On January 13th 2020, the inaugural Photonics Online Meetup (POM) brought together more than 1100 researchers to discuss the latest advances in photonics. Or rather, it didn't, because the meeting was completely delocalized with the speakers, organizers, and attendees scattered across six continents and hundreds of locations, connected via a video-conferencing tool and social media. Despite this "delocalisation," the meeting retained many characteristics of a traditional conference: invited and contributed talks with follow-up questions and discussion, and a poster session. However, unlike with traditional conferences, all attendees avoided air travel, high registration costs (it was completely free), CO2 emission, or visa issues. Surely the impact on families was minimized as well, though participants in inconvenient time zones had to wake up early or stay up late. In this Comment, we highlight the key steps that enabled this event, offering tips and advice, to aid the organisation of similar Online Meetups.

Publisher: name: TU Wien

Subjects: subject: warped conformal field theories
subject: WCFT

description: The aim of the thesis is to calculate the entanglement entropy of an interval in different two-dimensional warped conformal field theories. The result by Castro et al [key-5] is generalized to a second WCFT with a different symmetry algebra. This is done in two ways: First using the Rindler method and second using the replica trick. The new WCFT is particularly interesting because it appears as holographic dual of a boosted Rindler-spacetime. On the gravitational side, entanglement entropy is much easier to compute and I show that the results agree if one locates the field theory on the horizon at r=0 rather then at r towards infinity. This statement is shown to be also true for the slightly more involved case of boosted Rindler-AdS.
Encouraging state irresponsibility : resolution without punishment? International responses to the conflict in Darfur, Sudan and unintended consequences
Creators: name: Zellman, Ariel David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper analyzes the impact of the international community’s failure to punish Sudan as a means to bring an end to ongoing conflict in its western region of Darfur. Focusing on the actions and rhetoric of the United Nations Security Council with respect to its recent adoption of the "responsibility to protect" doctrine, it is claimed that the Council has emphasized the importance of its collective responsibility to protect innocents to the detriment of holding failed states accountable for their role in fermenting and/or exacerbating intrastate violence. While recognizing as legitimate the multiple factors responsible for the shift in international practice from imposing punitive measures against norm violating states to international and individual accountability, it is argued that all have resulted in the unintended consequence of vastly expanding an environment of impunity in which individual conflicts may eventually be arrested but the conditions allowing the outbreak of such violence remain unaffected. Moreover, this deferral of state-targeted punishment by the Security Council has ramifications beyond the individual case’s borders such that failed states may no longer be held to account for their actions. This has resulted in the reinforcement of orthodox normative understandings and practical respect of sovereignty inappropriate to post-Cold War security realities further impairing the ability of the Council to ensure the preservation of international peace and security. As such, it is critical that the international community re-recognize the importance of state-targeted coercion as an instrument of multilateral diplomacy and as a legitimate means to maintain international order.

We analyze corrections in a more physical setting, of Randall-Sundrum type and of higher dimensionality. We also analyze the scattering inside AdS backgrounds.

description: Wide-field imaging from space will reveal a wealth of information about the globular cluster systems of any galaxies in the local universe that are observed by such a mission. Individual globular clusters around galaxies in the local universe have compact sizes that are ideal for the excellent spatial resolution afforded by space-based imaging, while systems of these globular clusters have large spatial extent that can only be fully explored by wide-field imaging. One example of the science return from such a study is the determination of the major formation epoch(s) of galaxies from the ages of their globular clusters determined via their optical to near-infrared colors. A second example is determining the sites of metal-poor globular cluster formation from their cosmological bias, which constrains the formation of structures early in the universe.

description: Globale Nachrichten über Klimawandel, Finanzkrisen und Umwälzungen in verschiedenen Ländern und die zunehmende Ausprägung städtischer Phänomene wie Verdrängung und Segregation verunsichern die zivilgesellschaftliche Bevölkerung und führen zu Reaktionen entlang von Rückzug und Protest. In städtischen Räumen lässt sich eine zunehmende Selbstorganisation der Zivilgesellschaft in Form von Nachbarschaftsinitiativen und -vereinen konstatieren, die sich als Akteur*innen der Stadtentwicklung positionieren. Dabei entwickeln und treiben sie ihre eigenen Konzepte und Lösungsansätze für gesellschaftliche und stadtentwicklungspolitische Fragestellungen voran und fordern ihr Recht auf Mit- und Selbstbestimmung ein, unter gleichzeitiger Wahrung ihrer Autonomie und Unabhängigkeit. Die raumbezogene Soziale Arbeit ist über unterschiedliche Handlungsfelder in die Planung und Entwicklung von Quartieren eingewoben und muss sich in dieser Rekonstituierung einer local governance neu positionieren. Der Beitrag zeigt anhand einer qualitativen Studie in Berlin Kreuzberg auf, welche Potenziale sich durch einen kooperativen Handlungsansatz ergeben, wie dieser gestaltet werden kann, und welche Herausforderungen und Chancen sich daraus für die beteiligten Akteur*innen ergeben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der kooperative Ansatz eine hohe Reaktionsfähigkeit, Flexibilität und Pragmatismus, aber auch das Aufgeben eines Steuerungsanspruchs benötigt, sowie die Kompetenz, mit unterschiedlichen Rationalitäten und Logiken der vielfältigen Akteur*innen umzugehen. Dadurch können neue Perspektiven, innovative Praktiken und Veränderungen ermöglicht und gefördert werden.

description: AMS-02 is a cosmic ray experiment that will be placed on the International Space Station. One of its goals is to search for WIMP Dark Matter, specifically from anomalous features in the positron spectrum. In order to identify positrons at high energy from the large background of protons, a Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) will be used. Here we will present studies of positron/proton separation using the TRD from the AMS-02 Simulation.

description: Ultralight primordial black holes (PBHs) with masses $\lesssim 10^{15}$g and subatomic Schwarzschild radii, produced in the early Universe, are expected to have evaporated by the current cosmic age due to Hawking radiation. Based on this assumption, a number of constraints on the abundance of ultralight PBHs have been made. However, Hawking radiation has thus far not been verified experimentally. It would, therefore, be of interest if constraints on ultralight PBHs could be placed independent of the assumption of Hawking-radiation. In this paper, we explore the possibility of probing these PBHs, within a narrow mass range, using gravitational-wave (GW) data from the two LIGO detectors. The idea is that large primordial curvature perturbations that result in the formation of PBHs, would also generate GWs through non-linear mode couplings. These induced GWs would produce a stochastic background. Specifically, we focus our attention on PBHs of mass range $\sim 10^{13} - 10^{15}$g for which the induced stochastic GW background peak falls in the sensitivity band of LIGO. We find that, for both narrow and broad Gaussian PBH mass distributions, the corresponding GW background would be detectable using presently available LIGO data, provided we neglect the existing constraints on the abundance of PBHs, which are based on Hawking radiation. Furthermore, we find that these stochastic backgrounds would be detectable in LIGO's third observing run, even after considering the existing constraints on PBH abundance. A non-detection should enable us to constrain the amplitude of primordial curvature perturbations as well as the abundance of ultralight PBHs. We estimate that by the end of the third observing run, assuming non-detection, we should be able to place constraints that are orders of magnitude better than currently existing ones.

title: The evolution of star-forming galaxies : analysis of infrared observations by AKARI
Creators: name: Sedgwick, Christopher John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis presents the results of several projects on the analysis of infrared observations of star-forming galaxies, all of which included observations by the AKARI Space Telescope. Spectroscopic redshifts have been measured for over 400 galaxies using the fibre spectrograph AAOmega in the AKARI Deep Field South, the first significant spectroscopic campaign in a relatively new, cirrus-free deep field. A local luminosity function of galaxies in this field is also presented, using far-infrared data from AKARI. Various properties are deduced from the atomic emission lines detected, and star-forming spectral energy distribution templates are fitted to these sources using the multi-wavelength data available. The majority of these galaxies are dominated by emission from star formation, and local sources show relatively low dust extinction. AKARI’s own near-infrared spectroscopic facility was used to observe well-known submillimetre targets in other well-studied deep fields. The most interesting result was the detection of high redshift (z > 3.5) Hα emission lines in two radio galaxies and two submillimetre galaxies shown to be associated with one of them, the highest-redshift Hα detections so far discovered in star-forming galaxies. Both radio galaxies are shown to be quasars, and one is part of a binary quasar. The result from stacking all the Hα targets is also presented. Two Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs) were written to help with these projects and are described in this thesis. Finally, the early results of an ongoing experiment to detect gravitational lenses by identifying quasars with enhanced far-infrared luminosity are presented, with about twenty quasars identified in the AKARI all-sky far-infrared survey. Several sources at high redshift appear to show enhanced luminosity, and follow-up optical spectroscopy of seven of these sources shows that three are high-redshift quasars.

description: For the spinor Bose-Einstein condensates both the total spin $S$ and its Z-component $S_{Z}$ should be conserved. However, in existing theories, only the conservation of $S_{z}$ has been taken into account. To remedy, this paper is the first attempt to take the conservation of both $% S$ and $S_{Z}$ into account. For this purpose, a total spin-state with the good quantum numbers $S$ and $S_{Z}$ is introduced in the trial wave function, thereby a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation has been derived. With this new equation, the ground bands of the $^{23}$Na and $% ^{87}$Rb condensates have been studied, where the levels distinct in $S$ split. It was found that the level density is extremely dense in the bottom of the ground band of $^{23}$Na, i.e., in the vicinity of the ground state. On the contrary, for $^{87}$Rb, the levels are extremely dense in the top of the ground band,

Applications of microwave technology to wastewater treatment

description: A novel microwave process was developed on a laboratory batch scale for the purposes of solubilizing nutrients, such as orthophosphate and ammonia, from sewage sludge. The present research aimed to explore whether microwave technology could be used as a simple and effective means of enhancing nutrient recovery, where struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) crystallization technology could be subsequently used to recover the nutrients as a useful fertilizer product. The objectives of this research were to: (1) investigate whether microwave irradiation could solubilize nutrients from sewage sludge, (2) explore the role of chemical treatment on enhancing nutrient solubilization, (3) identify the major factors associated with microwave operation that affect nutrient solubilization, and (4) determine the theoretical optimum microwave operating conditions that maximize nutrient solubilization. Microwave irradiation of various types of sewage sludge resulted in the simultaneous solubilization of both orthophosphate and ammonia. At microwave heating temperatures of 60-170°C and a microwave heating time of 5 minutes, up to 84% of total phosphorus and up to 136% of the total Kjeldahl nitrogen were solubilized as orthophosphate and ammonia, respectively. Nutrient solubilization levels varied with respect to temperature. Exploratory studies using hydrogen peroxide and sulphuric acid treatment were found to have varying effects on nutrient solubilization. Subsequently, microwave heating temperature, heating time, hydrogen peroxide treatment and sulphuric acid treatment were incorporated into a screening design to determine which factor(s) were significant for maximizing nutrient solubilization. Microwave heating time was ultimately eliminated as a significant factor for both orthophosphate and ammonia solubilization. Microwave heating temperature and hydrogen peroxide treatment were the most significant factors affecting orthophosphate and ammonia, respectively. Optimization studies with the remaining factors resulted in prediction models which were in agreement with the general trends determined from the previous findings in this research. The models predicted the optimum orthophosphate yield at 200°C, 2 % (v/v) H₂0₂ and 1% (v/v) H₂SO₄, and optimum ammonia yield at 200°C, 2 % (v/v) H₂0₂ and no H₂SO₄ addition. The results of this research clearly indicated that microwave irradiation could be used as an effective means of solubilizing nutrients from sewage sludge.

description: This thesis examines how ambient temperatures and air pollution affect labour productivity and public health. It presents a comprehensive review of current evidence on the impacts of both high and low temperatures, as well as air pollution, on labour losses, such as reduced labour efficiency and working hours. Four original studies introduce a novel metric called the Productivity-Adjusted Life-Year (PALY) to quantify productivity losses resulting from premature mortality. The findings demonstrate that non-optimal temperatures and air pollution significantly reduce labour productivity, particularly in poorer regions. Furthermore, projections suggest that these impacts will worsen due to climate change, highlighting the need for the development of policies and targeted adaptation strategies.
