title: Illuminating the Dark
title: Laboratory-Based Dark Matter Production
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Scott, John
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2021

description: The focus of this thesis is the exploration of novel theoretical approaches to the production and detection of dark matter candidates using laboratory-based electromagnetic sources. The pursuit of these investigations culminated in the development and application of a post-process numeric analysis software, Run:DMC. This code was applied to the output data of two accelerator simulation packages, namely EPOCH and MEEP, to calculate the field strengths of particular dark matter candidates – axion-like particles, dilaton-like particles and dark photons – within these systems. The conclusion of these analyses found that dark matter candidates can be produced in a variety of experimental systems within modern laboratories with relatively modest equipment. Chapter 1 chronicles the amassing of observational evidence supporting the existence of dark matter, along with the developments of the dark matter candidates of concern for this thesis and the proposed investigational approaches. Chapter 2 derives and discusses the theoretical underpinnings and developments of particular dark matter candidates. Similarly, Chapters 3, 4 and 5 cover the theory of the methodologies and techniques utilised within this thesis. Chapter 6 presents Run:DMC, the computational code designed and developed for the purpose of post-process analysing data produced by simulations to calculate the corresponding dark matter fields. Within this chapter, relevant theory is derived and the code is applied to several test cases, the results of which are used to infer its strengths and weaknesses. Chapter 7 focusses on axion-like particle (ALP) and dilaton-like particle (DLP) production within laser-driven plasma wake field acceleration. It was found that magnetised plasma wakes are capable of producing both ALPs and DLPs, however it was also found that the dominant field contributions for both dark matter candidates derive from the laser pulse driving the wake. Trends across system parameters were then investigated: ALP production was found to be maximised when the system is exposed to high strength external magnetic fields which are parallel to the direction of laser propagation; in contrast, DLPs are relatively unaffected by magnetic field strength or angle. Chapter 8 presents and discusses results of the second method of dark matter production, namely ALPs and hidden sector photons (HSPs) from a photonic bandgap lattice (PBL) located within a microwave resonant cavity (MRC). It was found that magnetised MRCs are suitable mechanisms of laboratory-based dark matter production, which is capable of being coupled with a PBG to effectively restrict the applied electric field to a much more localised region than ordinarily possible. Lastly, Chapter 9 concludes the thesis by uniting all concepts theretofore discussed, summarising results and suggesting further developments of the presented ideas.

description: This article discusses the use of brief screeners in social work practice to identity adolescents in need of selected interventions for alcohol and other drug use problems. Brief screeners can increase access to alcohol or other drug intervention services and promote the diffusion of evidence-based interventions to underserved communities when integrated in Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) initiatives. The two-item NIAAA Brief Alcohol Use Screener is discussed as a developmentally tailored assessment tool that can be integrated into SBIRT in social work practice to improve detection of early-stage alcohol problems among adolescents who lack routine access to preventative health care. The use of brief, empirically supported alcohol screeners in trainings for social work students and new professionals can enhance their preparation and competence to offer child and adolescent clients appropriate selected intervention options to reduce harms associated with underage alcohol use.

description: We introduce a new class of open, translationally invariant spin chains with long-range interactions depending on both spin permutation and (polarized) spin reversal operators, which includes the Haldane-Shastry chain as a particular degenerate case. The new class is characterized by the fact that the Hamiltonian is invariant under "twisted" translations, combining an ordinary translation with a spin flip at one end of the chain. It includes a remarkable model with elliptic spin-spin interactions, smoothly interpolating between the XXX Heisenberg model with anti-periodic boundary conditions and a new open chain with sites uniformly spaced on a half-circle and interactions inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the spins. We are able to compute in closed form the partition function of the latter chain, thereby obtaining a complete description of its spectrum in terms of a pair of independent su(1|1) and ${\rm su}(m/2)$ motifs when the number $m$ of internal degrees of freedom is even. This implies that the even $m$ model is invariant under the direct sum of the Yangians $Y$(gl(1|1)) and $Y$(gl$(0|m/2)$). We also analyze several statistical properties of the new chain's spectrum. In particular, we show that it is highly degenerate, which strongly suggests the existence of an underlying (twisted) Yangian symmetry also for odd $m$.

description: The study was carried out in Taraba State, Nigeria to identify factors limiting adaptation to climate change among farmers. Questionnaire/interview schedule was used to collect data from a sample of 90 respondents used for the study. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean scores and standard deviation. Results show that radio (72.2%) and fellow farmers (58.9%) were major sources of information on climate change available to farmers. Effects of climate change were reduces body weight of livestock (M = 2.80), causes stunted growth of crops (M = 2.77), reduction in farm income/revenue (M = 2.61), increases pests/diseases infestation (M = 2.46), late fruiting of fruit trees (M = 2.41), drying of seedlings after germination and transplanting (M = 2.39), drying of streams/rivers (M = 2.38), low yield of crop/crop failure (M = 2.33), reduces feed intake of livestock (M = 2.31), easy loss of water from the soil (M = 2.31), among others. Major constraints to climate change adaptation measures include poor access to information relevant to adaptation (M = 3.68), inadequate financial resources (M = 3.51), high cost of farm inputs such as fertilizer (M = 3.50), poverty (M = 3.31), limited access to improved livestock breeds (M = 3.29), high cost of improved crop varieties (M = 3.27), lack of access to weather forecast (M = 3.21), lack of access to improved crop varieties (M = 3.21), etc. The study recommends the need for relevant agencies such as meteorological agencies and other government agencies to employ the use of mass media such as radio and/or television in disseminating information on climate change effects and mitigation strategies to farmers and highlights that efforts of the Nigerian government is highly needed in providing farm inputs such as fertilizer, improved seeds and chemicals to small-scale farmers at subsidized rate and at appropriate time through a well-coordinated system in order to boost productivity.
Parents’ labour force participation and children’s involvement in work activities : evidence from Thailand

Year: 2023

description: This study provides a better understanding of children’s engagement in economic work and housework by examining its relationship with parents’ labour force participation. It also explores how parents’ employment type is associated with children’s involvement in work activities. Using Thailand’s Labour Force and Time Use Surveys, our multivariate probit regression results show that girls actively participate in economic activities when their mothers are employed, while boys’ involvement in such work is positively correlated to both parents’ employment. Girls’ housework participation is also positively associated with parents’ employment, suggesting that their assistance in household chores enable their parents to stay in the labour market. These positive relationships are prevalent particularly among children with either mothers or fathers working informally. Hence, the findings suggest that anti-poverty or expansionary policies aimed at increasing labour force participation without attention to job quality, social protection and care needs can adversely affect children by increasing their need to work.

Representative bureaucracy in challenging environments : gender representation, education, and India

Year: 2023

description: A bureaucracy representative of disadvantaged groups in a society has been linked to better outcomes for those groups in a wide variety of policy areas. Most of the empirical work identifying this link has used United States data, a highly conducive case for representation. Would the same relationship be seen in more challenging organizational and environmental contexts? Using the K-12 education context in India as a proxy for a challenging environment, this article examines how and when gender representation in K-12 schools leads to enhanced outcomes. We find a modest relationship between the presence of female teachers in a school and the academic outcomes of female students. Contextual factors both within the organization (more class days, longer teacher hours, and a smaller student to teacher ratio) and related to the external environment (infrastructure, rural location) enhance this association between teacher gender and student performance.
Spin-orbit-phonon interaction as an origin of helical-symmetry breaking spin-triplet superconducting state

description: The excess increase of the local field distribution width $ΔH\equivσ/γ_μ$ (with $γ_μ=135.5\,$MHz/T being the gyromagnetic ratio of $μ^{+}$), and/or the spontaneous magnetic field $H_{\rm spon}$, have been reported in the superconducting state of a series of compounds more than 10 by $μ$SR (muon spin rotation or relaxation) experiment. Sizes of these quantities are of the order of 1G on the whole. We propose that the increase of the local field distribution $ΔH$ in those compounds, including ions with strong spin-orbit interaction of 5d electrons, such as La in LaNiGa$_2$ or Re in Re$_6$Zr, is possible through the cooperation of the spin-orbit coupling between the quasiparticles and ionic vibrations (phonons) and the conventional quasiparticles-phonon coupling, inducing the spin-triplet p-wave pairing with helical symmetry breaking superconducting state with chiral super spin current around stopped $μ^{+}$ site. The size of $ΔH$ is estimated as of the order of 1G, in consistent with experimental observations.

description: We propose a useful method for deriving the effective theory for a system where BPS and anti-BPS domain walls coexist. Our method respects an approximately preserved SUSY near each wall. Due to the finite width of the walls, SUSY breaking terms arise at tree-level, which are exponentially suppressed. A practical approximation using the BPS wall solutions is also discussed. We show that a tachyonic mode appears in the matter sector if the corresponding mode function has a broader profile than the wall width.

description: This research Paper assessed the impact of flood on food security of rural farmers in Dagiri Community of Gagwalada Area Council of Abuja Nigeria. The sampling frame for the study consist of rural farmers in Dagiri community and sampling technique used was random sampling of 112 farmers household living along the River Usuma because they are most prone to flooding. Data were analysed using simple descriptive statistics and confidence interval using 95% confidence level. The results showed that, in dagiri Community areas lying along the banks of River Usman where lots of farming activities takes place are most vulnerable to flood disaster. The continuous violation of land use planning, population explosion, and poor quality materials used in construction of buildings increases the towns’ vulnerability to flood hazard. The damages caused rural farmers in Dagiri Community by the flood is colossal, it includes destruction of farm houses, stored farm produce and household properties. Flood waters also wash away crops and farm land, leading to food insecurity. In reducing the vulnerability of Dagiri community to flood to make the community resilient and food secured there is need for the council to institute improved land use planning, removal of structures from river Usman flood plains and discourage farmers from farming and living close to the river. More measures include intensifying environmental education of residents especially in the areas of flood risk and co-opt the active participation of government agencies and the Community in a Community based flood risk management.

description: Motivated mainly by applications to partial differential equations with random coefficients, we introduce a new class of Monte Carlo estimators, called Toeplitz Monte Carlo (TMC) estimator for approximating the integral of a multivariate function with respect to the direct product of an identical univariate probability measure. The TMC estimator generates a sequence $x_1,x_2,\ldots$ of i.i.d. samples for one random variable, and then uses $(x_{n+s-1},x_{n+s-2}\ldots,x_n)$ with $n=1,2,\ldots$ as quadrature points, where $s$ denotes the dimension. Although consecutive points have some dependency, the concatenation of all quadrature nodes is represented by a Toeplitz matrix, which allows for a fast matrix-vector multiplication. In this paper we study the variance of the TMC estimator and its dependence on the dimension $s$. Numerical experiments confirm the considerable efficiency improvement over the standard Monte Carlo estimator for applications to partial differential equations with random coefficients, particularly when the dimension $s$ is large.
Understanding the capacity of community-based groups to mobilise and engage in social action for health : results from Avahan

description: Community mobilisation improves outcomes from HIV to maternal and child health. Yet, little health research has explored why some community groups are better able to mobilise than others. We address this gap by considering the case of Avahan, the India AIDS Initiative, which sought to foster community mobilisation, including the creation of community-based groups serving men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers (FSWs), and injection drug users (IDUs). Using quantitative and qualitative data collected from 58 community-based groups from 2009–2012 across six Indian states, we analyse variation in groups’ action on behalf of their members. Based on a mixed effects logistic regression, we find that older groups and those with bank accounts, crisis committees, or strategic relationships were most likely to take action on behalf of members by demanding rights or confronting gatekeepers and opinion leaders. Analysis of qualitative data reveals the types of action organisations took on behalf of members (mediation, removal of community members from harm, and advocacy), but also that sometimes organisations refused to take action, or community members declined their assistance. These findings indicate that organisations formalising, creating structures for social action, and building networks are important strategies to foster community mobilisation.

description: Nigeria currently imports foods for domestic consumption of her citizens. This is puzzling because a greater percentage of her population is engaged in agriculture. This is despite the apparent neglect of agriculture since crude oil was discovered in commercial quantities in the early 1970s. Before the discovery of oil in exportable quantities, the country depended largely for her foreign exchange earnings on agricultural exports and the various regions in the country were quite active in agricultural production. The Northern region was noted for the groundnut pyramids that dotted the various parts of the region; the Western region for cocoa and the Eastern region were renowned for palm plantations. This success story was not sustained with the discovery of oil, as agriculture was abandoned and neglected by successive governments in the country. However, the decline in crude oil revenue since 2014 has once again exposed the vulnerability of Nigeria’s dependence on crude oil as a major earner of foreign exchange. Consequently, Nigeria is finding it difficult to pay for its food import bills and there is hunger in the land. Using exploratory technique with anecdotal evidence, this study highlighted the dangers of relegating agriculture in Nigeria and placed analytical spotlight on agricultural transformation as a solution for reversing the country’s food import dependency.

 Diagnosis. Wall with 21±25 radial ribs; articular furrow of scutum narrow, deep; limbus adductoru m about one-third overall height; tergum exceptionally broad, external furrow closed at distal end, spur tapering to narrow blunt point, depressor muscle crests large, complex, numerous, extending well beyond basal margin.

 Type depository. Institute of Oceanology, Academia Sinica, Qingdao (= Tsingtao), China, cat. no. C81214-1 (holotype).
 Remarks. Ren (1986: 157) described the opercular plates as being`... fused together, but with distinct limits’. We infer they are only bound together by an organic cement and thus separable. The height to width ratio, based on Ren’s (1986) illustration is about 1.85 1.
The two paratype specimens of this species we have been fortunate to study lack opercular plates and the soft parts. Nonetheless, our study of the basis corroborates the presence of the calcareous arch-like structures mentioned and illustrated by Ren (1986), which characterize members of this as well as the following genus.

description: Beetroot is one of horticultural crop which need intensive cultural practice. It is important throughout the world by being a source of food as well as income for consumers, processors and producers. But there is a gap of research output and information for its cultural practice especially on optimum recommended fertilizers and spacing to improve its yield in Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted in the 2012 to study the effects of plant spacing and urea fertilization on yield and yield components of Deteroit dark red beetroot cultivars. The experiment was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) arrangement. Plant spacing (16, 20 and 25 cm within plant) were combined with three Nitrogen rates (45, 52.5 and 60 gm/plot). The general objectives that was to know the effect of spacing and urea on yield and yield component of beetroot with specific objectives that were to determine appropriate spacing and urea fertilizer rate on Beetroot for optimum yield production by keeping other agronomic practices constant, to determine appropriate interaction effect of spacing and urea for optimum yield and yield components of beetroot, and to compile information for producers, researchers and students for further improvement of the crop with regard to spacing, urea fertilizer rate and other agronomic practice.

description: The kinetic energy distribution of D$^+$ ions resulting from the interaction of a femtosecond laser pulse with D$_2$ molecules is calculated based on the rescattering model. From analyzing the molecular dynamics, it is shown that the recollision time between the ionized electron and the D$_2^+$ ion can be read from the D$^+$ kinetic energy peaks to attosecond accuracy. We further suggest that more precise reading of the clock can be achieved by using shorter fs laser pulses (about 15fs).

description: In this study, eight different genotypes namely FA-006, FA-007, FA-008, FA-015, FA-016, FA-017, FA-022 and BARI Strawberry-1 were grown under field condition to evaluate the superior performance of tropical strawberry genotypes in terms of their morphological characters. Our results revealed that FA-015 genotype showed better performance in terms of plant height, leaf number, canopy spread, flowers plant-1, fruit set compared to other genotypes. The maximum days (62.29) required for flower initiation was found in the genotype FA-007 while the minimum days (30.59) required for flower initiation was recorded in the genotype FA-016. As regards to the fruit characters (length, width and weight), FA-022 genotype exhibited highest performances compared to other genotypes. Our results also implied that the highest fruit yield plant-1 (213.8g) was obtained from the genotype FA-022 and the highest amount of TSS (10.71%) was found in the genotype BARI Strawberry-1. Genotype FA-015 was superior in respect of growth related parameters and genotype FA-022 found potential in terms of fruit yield. Further research is needed on molecular characterization and marker aided selection of strawberry genotypes.

description: The aim of the present study is to analyze the stability of the pressure gradient driven modes (PM) and Alfven eigenmodes (AE) in the Large Helical Device (LHD) plasma if the rotational transform profile is modified by the current drive of the tangential neutral beam injectors (NBI). This study forms a basic search for optimized operation scenarios with reduced mode activity. The analysis is performed using the code FAR3d which solves the reduced MHD equations describing the linear evolution of the poloidal flux and the toroidal component of the vorticity in a full 3D system, coupled with equations for density and parallel velocity moments of the energetic particle (EP) species, including the effect of the acoustic modes. The Landau damping and resonant destabilization effects are added via the closure relation. On-axis and off-axis NBI current drive modifies the rotational transform which becomes strongly distorted as the intensity of the neutral beam current drive (NBCD) increases, leading to wider continuum gaps and modifying the magnetic shear. The simulations with on-axis NBI injection show that a counter (ctr-) NBCD in inward shifted and default configurations leads to a lower growth rate of the PM, although strong n=1 and 2 AEs can be destabilized. For the outward shifted configurations, a co-NBCD improves the AEs stability but the PM are further destabilized if the co-NBCD intensity is 30 kA/T. If the NBI injection is off-axis, the plasma stability is not significantly improved due to the further destabilization of the AE and energetic particle modes (EPM) in the middle and outer plasma region.

Using quantitative and qualitative data collected from 58 community-based groups from 2009–2012 across six Indian states, we analyse variation in groups’ action on behalf of their members. Based on a mixed effects logistic regression, we find that older groups and those with bank accounts, crisis committees, or strategic relationships were most likely to take action on behalf of members by demanding rights or confronting gatekeepers and opinion leaders. Analysis of qualitative data reveals the types of action organisations took on behalf of members (mediation, removal of community members from harm, and advocacy), but also that sometimes organisations refused to take action, or community members declined their assistance. These findings indicate that organisations formalising, creating structures for social action, and building networks are important strategies to foster community mobilisation.
Study of central exclusive $π^+π^-$ production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 5.02 and 13 TeV

description: Central exclusive and semiexclusive production of $π^+π^-$ pairs is measured with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at center-of-mass energies of 5.02 and 13 TeV. The theoretical description of these nonperturbative processes, which have not yet been measured in detail at the LHC, poses a significant challenge to models. The two pions are measured and identified in the CMS silicon tracker based on specific energy loss, whereas the absence of other particles is ensured by calorimeter information. The total and differential cross sections of exclusive and semiexclusive central $π^+π^-$ production are measured as functions of invariant mass, transverse momentum, and rapidity of the $π^+π^-$ system in the fiducial region defined as transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}(π)$ $>$ 0.2 GeV and pseudorapidity $|η(π)|$ $

description: Recognizing human activities from multi-channel time series data collected from wearable sensors has become an important practical application of machine learning. A serious challenge comes from the presence of coherent activities or body movements, such as movements of the head while walking or sitting, since signals representing these movements are mixed and interfere with each other. Basic multi-label classification typically assumes independence within the multiple activities. This is oversimplified and reduces modeling power even when using state-of-the-art deep learning methods. In this paper, we investigate this new problem, which we name “Coherent Human Activity Recognition (Co-HAR)”, that keeps complete conditional dependency between the multiple labels. Additionally, we treat Co-HAR as a dense labelling problem that classifies each sample on a time step with multiple coherent labels to provide high-fidelity and duration-sensitive support to high-precision applications. To explicitly model conditional dependency, a novel condition-aware deep architecture “Conditional-UNet” is developed to allow for multiple dense labeling for Co-HAR. We also contribute a first-of-its-kind Co-HAR dataset for head gesture recognition associated with a user's activity, walking or sitting, to the research community. Extensive experiments on this dataset show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning methods and achieves up to 92% accuracy on context-based head gesture classification.

description: Most multi-sided transfinite surfaces require cross-derivatives at the boundaries. Here we show a general $n$-sided patch that interpolates all boundaries based on only positional information. The surface is a weighted sum of $n$ Coons patches, using a parameterization based on Wachspress coordinates.
Perturbative dynamics of matrix string for the membrane

description: Recently Sekino and Yoneya proposed a way to regularize the world volume theory of membranes wrapped around $S^1$ by matrices and showed that one obtains matrix string theory as a regularization of such a theory. We show that this correspondence between matrix string theory and wrapped membranes can be obtained by using the usual M(atrix) theory techniques. Using this correspondence, we construct the super-Poincare generators of matrix string theory at the leading order in the perturbation theory. It is shown that these generators satisfy 10 dimensional super-Poincaré algebra without any anomaly.

description: Within broader community samples, sexual minority adolescents (SMA, e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer) are at greater risk than their heterosexual counterparts for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The present study investigated whether sexual minority orientation continues to confer additional risk for these behaviors in an already higher-risk sample of youth. Frequency and function of NSSI, suicidal behavior, and psychosocial factors were assessed in a sample of 52 adolescents (aged 12–18 years) admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit due to suicide risk; 27 of them identified as SMA, and 25 as heterosexual (HA). Greater proportions of SMA reported engaging in lifetime NSSI, compared to HA, with a greater variety and frequency of NSSI behaviors and greater endorsement of intrapersonal NSSI functions. SMA reported higher levels of suicide ideation than HA, but not suicidal behavior. Group differences in NSSI and SI persisted when controlling for the greater prevalence of abuse and levels of peer-victimization reported by SMA. In inpatient clinical settings, SMA may be more likely than heterosexual youth to engage in NSSI, including more severe forms, and to experience suicide ideation. Providing alternative coping mechanisms may serve as treatment goals for reducing NSSI in SMA.
