description: Bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) belong to a class of materials with two unique features, the coupled spin-valley-layer degrees of freedom and the crystal structure that is globally centrosymmetric but locally non-centrosymmetric. In this work, we will show that the combination of these two features can lead to a rich phase diagram for unconventional superconductivity, including intra-layer and inter-layer singlet pairings and inter-layer triplet pairings, in bilayer superconducting TMDs. In particular, we predict that the inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state can exist in bilayer TMDs under an in-plane magnetic field. We also discuss the experimental relevance of our results and possible experimental signatures.

Corporate Governance, Firm Performance, and Information Leakage: an Empirical Analysis of the Chinese Stock Market

description: The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the effect of corporate governance on firm performance and information leakage in the Chinese securities market. As one of the major emerging markets in the world, the results of this thesis are valuable not only to the Chinese market, but also to other emerging markets. To achieve this purpose, data is collected from most of the non-financial listed companies in the two Chinese stock exchanges, which are the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock exchange. The data sample covers the period from 2004 to 2008, since there was a series of new reforms in the Chinese stock market at that time. These reforms include new legislation and the reduction of non-tradable shares. Then this thesis employs the panel technique and the pooled OLS to estimate the effect of corporate governance on firm performance and information leakage in Chinese listed companies. Firstly the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance in Chinese companies is empirically evaluated. The empirical results of this thesis find that the ownership structure of Chinese companies will affect their firm performance. In this thesis, proxies of ownership structure include the proportion of institutional ownership, the proportion of the state ownership, the proportion of shareholdings of the largest shareholder, and the proportion of tradable shares in Chinese companies. A greater proportion of institutional ownership has positive effects on firm performance in Chinese companies. Board subcommittees also help Chinese companies to increase firm performance. The market reforms of 2006 also help Chinese companies to increase their firm performance. However, the board of directors and board of supervisors do not affect firm performance in Chinese companies. Secondly, information leakage in the Chinese Stock Market is empirically assessed. If investors receive corporate material information before the public disclosure, this phenomenon is known as information leakage. The thesis finds that information leakage in the Chinese market is widespread. Finally, the thesis empirically examines the effects of corporate governance on information leakage in Chinese companies. Board subcommittees have negative effects on information leakage in Chinese companies. Other variables of corporate governance do not affect information leakage in Chinese companies. Additionally, the thesis finds that market reform promotes more information leakage in Chinese market. On the basis of the empirical results, the thesis provides the following recommendations. First, the Chinese Stock Market needs to reform the relevant legislation. Second, Chinese companies need to reform their ownership structure. These suggestions may strengthen the internal governance of Chinese listed companies, thereby, increasing firm performance and decrease information leakage.

description: We use gauge-gravity duality to compute entanglement entropy in a non-conformal background with an energy scale $Λ$. At zero temperature, we observe that entanglement entropy decreases by raising $Λ$. However, at finite temperature, we realize that both $\fracΛ{T}$ and entanglement entropy rise together. Comparing entanglement entropy of the non-conformal theory, $S_{A(N)}$, and of its conformal theory at the $UV$ limit, $ S_{A(C)}$, reveals that $S_{A(N)}$ can be larger or smaller than $S_{A(C)}$, depending on the value of $\fracΛ{T}$.

Sea ice trends in climate models only accurate in runs with biased global warming

description: Observations indicate that the Arctic sea ice cover is rapidly retreating while the Antarctic sea ice cover is steadily expanding. State-of-the-art climate models, by contrast, typically simulate a moderate decrease in both the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice covers. However, in each hemisphere there is a small subset of model simulations that have sea ice trends similar to the observations. Based on this, a number of recent studies have suggested that the models are consistent with the observations in each hemisphere when simulated internal climate variability is taken into account. Here we examine sea ice changes during 1979-2013 in simulations from the most recent Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) as well as the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble (CESM-LE), drawing on previous work that found a close relationship in climate models between global-mean surface temperature and sea ice extent. We find that all of the simulations with 1979-2013 Arctic sea ice retreat as fast as observed have considerably more global warming than observations during this time period. Using two separate methods to estimate the sea ice retreat that would occur under the observed level of global warming in each simulation in both ensembles, we find that simulated Arctic sea ice retreat as fast as observed would occur less than 1% of the time. This implies that the models are not consistent with the observations. In the Antarctic, we find that simulated sea ice expansion as fast as observed typically corresponds with too little global warming, although these results are more equivocal. We show that because of this, the simulations do not capture the observed asymmetry between Arctic and Antarctic sea ice trends. This suggests that the models may be getting the right sea ice trends for the wrong reasons in both polar regions.

description: A collision of a light meson and a charmonium produces quarks and antiquarks first, then the charm quark fragments into a charmed hadron, and finally three or more mesons are produced. This is the mechanism that we consider and propose to understand the prompt-J/psi nuclear modification factor in the range of J/psi transverse momentum from 10 GeV/c to 18 GeV/c, as measured by the CMS Collaboration and the ATLAS Collaboration. Unpolarized cross sections are derived and calculated for the reactions pion+charmonium ->H_c+X with H_c being a charmed meson. Numerical cross sections are parametrized and used to calculate the dissociation rate of charmonium in the interaction with pions in hadronic matter. The momentum dependence of the rate obtained is so as to lead to a decreasing charmonium nuclear modification factor with increasing transverse momentum.

title: Indexing Futility
title: Neopatriarchal Trauma, Expressions of Grief, and Constitutions of Subjectivity in Contemporary Arab Women’s Fiction
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Alammar, Layla
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis identifies futility as a subtending structure and critical target of Arab women’s contemporary fiction, manifesting as recurring sociopolitical crises and failure of lasting change in normative gender relations. The six texts I analyse, spanning a broad historical and geographical range, have been selected from a wider body of Arab women’s fiction in English and Arabic. I contend that they constitute articulations of a Benjaminian historical materialism, arresting a traumatic present that was foretold by past failures and which foretells future failure. Thus, this thesis argues against conventional views of trauma narratives as redemptive tools of sociopolitical transformation. My project stands at the intersection of literary trauma theory and scholarship on Arab women’s literature, extending both fields through a Freudo-Lacanian reading of Arab women’s fiction as an index of futility and shared articulations of neopatriarchal trauma. The Introduction and Methodology trace key theoretical developments in psychoanalysis, literary trauma theory, and the formation of the Arab social subject. Chapter Two explores duelling narratives where male narrators construct female protagonists in symbolic terms and (re)write their stories. Conversely, protagonists highlight embodied trauma in order to emphasise subjectivity. Chapter Three illustrates how mourning and melancholia elucidate responses to traumatic loss while providing an innovative lens for identity and empathy. Finally, the Coda locates the root of neopatriarchal trauma in the failed self-realisation of the modern Arab male. Theorising the Arab intellectual as a woman registers the scope of disharmony between theory and praxis, which epitomises the intellectual’s melancholic anxiety. I argue that this space between thought and practice is where futility resides. The Arab intellectual as a woman lays bare what is always-already lacking, the traumatic Real at the core of the modern Arab male which manifests in compulsive returns to atavistic norms and leads to the perpetuation of trauma.

NURSING RESEARCH IN THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE: ACTIVITY, STRATEGIES AND ORGANISATIONAL MODELS
Creators: name: WOODWARD, VALERIE ANNE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2005

description: In this study, nursing research activity and support for this within the English National Health Service (NHS) were examined. The study was carried out in two phases. The first phase involved. working with one acute NHS trust to identify nursing research activity in the trust and to develop its nursing research strategy. The second involved working with five NHS trusts to explore nursing research activity and analyse support for nursing research within these organisations. The professional, educational and policy-related issues that set the context for the study were examined. The literature review for Phase 1 highlighted the fact that there were few accounts of the development of R&D strategies in the NHS. There were perceived barriers to the utilisation and undertaking of research in clinical settings. The importance and nature of organisational support in achieving an evidence-based culture was highlighted. The literature was further reviewed for Phase 2 and this reported that many changes in policy and local processes for R&D management had occurred during the last decade and showed that these, along with professional developments in nursing, have had an impact on nursing research activity. The study was a mixed methods investigation. Phase 1 was a survey using a questionnaire to collect data. Phase 2 used an organisational case-study approach. Data were gathered using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Although the main focus of the work was the role of organisational support for nursing research, what emerged has wider consequences for nursing research and the experiences of the researchers, as many other factors were found that influence nursing research activity in clinical settings. A global model of factors influencing nursing research activity was therefore constructed to account for these findings. This study has contributed to knowledge about nursing research in clinical settings. lt has identified some organisational models of research support for nurses and has provided in-depth accounts of the perceptions of various groups towards nursing research. lt has also analysed the perceptions and experiences of nurses undertaking research in the clinical setting. These have been represented in a global model of factors influencing nursing research activity.

title: The Question: Could a multi-sensory approach to design facilitate a re-enchantment of the food industry in Britain?
Creators: name: Crook, Geoffrey Robert
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis explores the potential of design industries ability to re-enchant the food industry in Britain in 2007. My research is informed by the increasing evidence of the negative impact on human and biosphere wellbeing and industrialization practice in food production and marketing. I highlight the connection between design's promotion of the hegemony of visuality and the marginalization of opportunities to construct connections between food source and its quality through multi-sensory engagement. I have adapted Webber's (2000) idea of disenchantment to describe a condition .in which the deterioration of quality of food experience. I argue that industrialization has created a loss of intangible qualities and traditions that have a clear potential to provide deep sources of pleasure and meaning to participants. I have focused on the relationship between design and food in order to evidence how design has become a tool of instrumental rationality by primarily servicing the short-term economic agendas of corporate business. I argue that design's focus on the role of seduction has led to the marginalization of a latent ability to connect consumers and producers to value through their non-visual senses. I propose that a multi-sensory form of design is capable of informing the restoration/creation of a deeper and more reflective relationship with the food chain. I argue that the route to this outcome is through the re-evaluation and re-education of the role that multi-sensory aesthetics play in the construction of promoting more benign rituals of production and consumption. I use evidence of multi-sensory practice in the non-industrialized and ethical food sector as an analogy and source that could sensory awareness to the designer's portfolio. I draw on a wide range of evidence to inform and support my explanation of the origins and character of the syndrome of industrialized production, marketing and consumption. My goal is informed by a concern to demonstrate that multi-sensory design could support the viability of alternative production and consumption strategies

description: We show that the complete Segal model structure extends to a model structure on bimplicial presheaves on a small site $\mathscr{C}$, for which the weak equivalences are local (or stalkwise) weak equivalences. This model structure can be realized as a left Bousfield localization of the Jardine model structure on the simplicial presheaves on a site $\mathscr{C}/ Δ^{op}$. Furthermore, it is shown that this model structure is Quillen equivalent to the model structure of the author's previous preprint entitled 'the Local Joyal Model Structure'. This Quillen equivalence extends an equivalence between the complete Segal space and Joyal model structures, due to Joyal and Tierney.

description: The breakup of liquid threads into smaller droplets is a fundamental problem in fluid dynamics. In this study, we estimate the characteristic wavelength of the breakup process by means of many-body dissipative particle dynamics. This wavelength shows a power-law dependence on the Ohnesorge number in line with results from stability analysis. We also discover that the number of satellite droplets exhibits a power-law decay with exponent $0.72 \pm 0.04$ in the product of the Ohnesorge and thermal capillary numbers, while the overall size of main droplets is larger than that based on the characteristic wavelength thanks to the asynchronous breakup of the thread. Finally, we show that the formation of satellite droplets is the result of the advection of pinching points towards the main droplets in a remaining thinning neck, when the velocity gradient of the fluid exhibits two symmetric maxima.

So far the spherical symmetric Einstein field equation in unimodular gravity has been studied in the absence of any source. We consider static electric and magnetic charge as source. We solve for Maxwell equations in unimodular gravitational background. We show that in unimodular gravity the electromagnetic field strength tensor is modified. We also show that the solution in unimodular gravity differs from the usual R-N metric in Einstein gravity with some corrections. We further study the thermodynamical properties of the R-N black-hole solution in this theory.

description: Entendendo-se como estratégico o debate sobre as políticas científicas e as formas de contrariar a hegemonia do modelo de publicação dos países anglo-saxónicos, um modelo que não apenas apaga as diferenças, mas que, de igual forma, perpetua a subalternidade científica, linguística e cultural, considera-se determinante a definição de políticas editoriais que se posicionem no combate contra o empobrecimento da língua. Mas será que estas políticas existem? Não ignorando que o acesso aberto não é necessariamente sinónimo de um acesso universal, já que não elimina barreiras como as linguísticas, procuramos olhar para as revistas portuguesas de acesso aberto em Ciências da Comunicação e da Informação para conhecer as suas políticas científicas, o modo como procuram enquadrar-se na comunidade internacional e responder a este desafio de criação de uma comunidade multifacetada. Foram contabilizadas 19 revistas, entre as quais se regista uma tendência progressiva para publicações linguisticamente híbridas. Não existindo, regra geral, uma política para o português como língua de ciência, daí redunda uma grande vulnerabilidade destas publicações perante a força expressiva de outras línguas, sobretudo da inglesa.

description: Quirigua Stela C is among the best-known monuments of the Classic Maya. This is due to the much-cited account of the creation of the present world, inscribed on the east side of the monument (Freidel, Schele and Parker 1993; Looper 1995, 2003). From a historical perspective, however, the text on the opposite west side is also of interest, reporting on the reign of King Tutum Yohl K'inich, who erected a monument at Quirigua on the day 6 Ajaw 13 Yaxk'in (9.1.0.0.0, August 29, 455). The fact that this Early Classic event is mentioned on Stela C is related to the day 6 Ajaw, on which Stela C itself was erected by Quirigua's great king K'ahk' Tiliw Chan Yopaat, namely on the day 6 Ajaw 13 K'ayab (9.17.5.0.0, December 30, 775). However, in the past, little importance has been given to the two short basal texts on the front and back, each consisting of four hieroglyphic blocks.

description: A previously unknown form of compromising emanations has been discovered. LED status indicators on data communication equipment, under certain conditions, are shown to carry a modulated optical signal that is significantly correlated with information being processed by the device. Physical access is not required; the attacker gains access to all data going through the device, including plaintext in the case of data encryption systems. Experiments show that it is possible to intercept data under realistic conditions at a considerable distance. Many different sorts of devices, including modems and Internet Protocol routers, were found to be vulnerable. A taxonomy of compromising optical emanations is developed, and design changes are described that will successfully block this kind of "Optical TEMPEST" attack.

We found 6,064 matches, i.e. 53% radio objects. The median uncertainty of VLBI positions is a factor of 4 smaller than the median uncertainties of their optical counterparts. Our analysis shows that the distribution of normalized arc lengths significantly deviates from Rayleigh shape with an excess of objects with small normalized arc lengths and with a number of outliers. We found that 6% matches have radio optical offsets significant at 99% confidence level. Therefore, we conclude there exists a population of objects with genuine offsets between centroids of radio and optical emission.

description: We present the analysis and results of a spectroscopic follow-up program of a mass-selected sample of six galaxies at 3 < z < 4 using data from Keck-NIRSPEC and VLT-Xshooter. We confirm the z > 3 redshifts for half of the sample through the detection of strong nebular emission lines, and improve the zphot accuracy for the remainder of the sample through the combination of photometry and spectra. The modeling of the emission-line-corrected spectral energy distributions (SEDs) adopting improved redshifts confirms the very large stellar masses of the sample (M_* ~ 1.5-4 x 10^11 Msun) in the first 2 Gyrs of cosmic history, with a diverse range in stellar ages, star formation rates and dust content. From the analysis of emission line luminosities and widths, and far-infrared (FIR) fluxes we confirm that >80% of the sample are hosts to luminous hidden active galactic nuclei (AGNs), with bolometric luminosities of ~10^(44-46) erg/s. We find that the MIPS 24um photometry is largely contaminated by AGN continuum, rendering the SFRs derived using only 24um photometry to be severely overestimated. By including the emission from the AGN in the modeling of the UV-to-FIR SEDs, we confirm that the presence of the AGN does not bias considerably the stellar masses (< 0.3 dex at 1σ). We show evidence for a rapid increase of the AGN fraction from ~30% to ~60-100% over the 1 Gyr between z~2 and z~3. Although we cannot exclude some enhancement of the AGN fraction for our sample due to selection effects, the small measured [OIII] contamination to the observed K-band fluxes suggests that our sample is not significantly biased toward massive galaxies hosting AGNs.

description: Recent advances in large language models have led to renewed interest in natural language processing in healthcare using the free text of clinical notes. One distinguishing characteristic of clinical notes is their long time span over multiple long documents. The unique structure of clinical notes creates a new design choice: when the context length for a language model predictor is limited, which part of clinical notes should we choose as the input? Existing studies either choose the inputs with domain knowledge or simply truncate them. We propose a framework to analyze the sections with high predictive power. Using MIMIC-III, we show that: 1) predictive power distribution is different between nursing notes and discharge notes and 2) combining different types of notes could improve performance when the context length is large. Our findings suggest that a carefully selected sampling function could enable more efficient information extraction from clinical notes.

Off-Diagonal Deformations of Kerr Metrics and Black Ellipsoids in Heterotic Supergravity

description: Geometric methods for constructing exact solutions of motion equations with first order $α^{\prime}$ corrections to the heterotic supergravity action implying a non-trivial Yang-Mills sector and six dimensional, 6-d, almost-Kähler internal spaces are studied. In 10-d spacetimes, general parametrizations for generic off-diagonal metrics, nonlinear and linear connections and matter sources, when the equations of motion decouple in very general forms are considered. This allows us to construct a variety of exact solutions when the coefficients of fundamental geometric/physical objects depend on all higher dimensional spacetime coordinates via corresponding classes of generating and integration functions, generalized effective sources and integration constants. Such generalized solutions are determined by generic off-diagonal metrics and nonlinear and/or linear connections. In particular, as configurations which are warped/compactified to lower dimensions and for Levi-Civita connections. The corresponding metrics can have (non) Killing and/or Lie algebra symmetries and/or describe (1+2)-d and/or (1+3)-d domain wall configurations, with possible warping nearly almost-Kähler manifolds, with gravitational and gauge instantons for nonlinear vacuum configurations and effective polarizations of cosmological and interaction constants encoding string gravity effects. A series of examples of exact solutions describing generic off-diagonal supergravity modifications to black hole/ ellipsoid and solitonic configurations are provided and analyzed. We prove that it is possible to reproduce the Kerr and other type black solutions in general relativity (with certain types of string corrections) in 4-d and to generalize the solutions to non-vacuum configurations in (super) gravity/ string theories.

Mapping crises, communities and capitalism on OpenStreetMap: situating humanitarian mapping in the (open source) mapping supply chain
Creators: name: Steele, Anne Lee
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: openstreetmap
ethnography
humanitarian mapping

description: This presentation expands an understanding of humanitarian mapping from an ethnographic perspective, seeking to understand the complex mechanics behind this confluence of humanitarianism, technology, and crowdsourced labor. It seeks to scaffold a notion of the “open source mapping supply chain”, situating both humanitarian mapping and OpenStreetMap itself within a larger ecosystem of commercial, humanitarian, open source, government, and other actors in developing geospatial-related technologies.
Noise-induced subdiffusion in strongly localized quantum systems

description: We consider the dynamics of strongly localized systems subject to dephasing noise with arbitrary correlation time. Although noise inevitably induces delocalization, transport in the noise-induced delocalized phase is subdiffusive in a parametrically large intermediate-time window. We argue for this intermediate-time subdiffusive regime both analytically and using numerical simulations on single-particle localized systems. Furthermore, we show that normal diffusion is restored in the long-time limit, through processes analogous to variable-range hopping. With numerical simulations based on Lanczos exact diagonalization, we demonstrate that our qualitative conclusions are also valid for interacting systems in the many-body localized phase.

description: We study pairs of Engel structures on four-manifolds whose intersection has constant rank one and which define the same even contact structure, but induce different orientations on it. We establish a correspondence between such pairs of Engel structures and a class of weakly hyperbolic flows. This correspondence is analogous to the correspondence between bi-contact structures and projectively or conformally Anosov flows on three-manifolds found by Eliashberg--Thurston and by Mitsumatsu.

description: Carbon fiber composites are high-performance materials commonly used in advanced applications and their performance is highly dependent on the fiber-matrix interfacial interaction. The non-polar carbon fiber surface may be modified via different techniques to improve adhesion with the polymer matrix. In this work, non-covalent surface modification of carbon fiber has been carried out using two different imidazolium ionic liquids, 1-n-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (hydrophobic) and 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (hydrophilic). The treatment was performed by immersing the fiber into 10 wt. % methanolic ionic liquid solution for 10 min. Treated fibers were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of ionic liquid on the carbon fiber surface. Surface morphology of treated fibers analyzed by scanning electron microscopy showed ionic liquid moieties. Wettability of the treated carbon fiber with epoxy resin significantly increased, with a decrease in contact angle greater than 15°. Interfacial shear strength between the modified carbon fiber and epoxy increased up to 56.5% with respect to the unsized carbon fiber, being comparable with epoxy-sized fibers. Thus, the proposed surface modification has the potential to improve the interfacial performance of carbon fiber polymer composites.
