description: We study the thermodynamics of a self-gravitating system of neutral fermions at finite temperature and analyze its backreaction in an asymptotically AdS space. We evaluate numerically the free entropy as a function of temperature, and perform a stability analysis applying the simple and powerful graphical method referred as the Katz criterion. We found that for highly-enough degenerate fermionic solutions, the onset of thermodynamic instability arises, though prior to the turning point on the mass as a function of the central density. Our results for finite temperature fermions provide a novel and more general way to study the confinement to deconfinement phase transition in the holographic field theory, generalizing former conclusions developed for systems at zero temperature.

description: The central hypothesis of this thesis is that probabilistic user interface design provides an effective methodology for delivering productive and enjoyable applications in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). This investigation is timely given the recent emergence of mass-market virtual and augmented reality head-mounted displays and growing demand for tailored applications and content. The design guidance for building compelling and productive applications for these environments is, however, currently lagging the pace at which the underlying technology is maturing. This is problematic given important differences between designing conventional 2D interfaces and interactions and their embodied 3D counterparts. This dissertation investigates probabilistic user interface design as a method for solving many of the novel challenges encountered when developing applications for VR and AR. Probabilistic user interface design seeks to model the uncertain events in a system and identify, implement and validate strategies that drive improved system performance. This thesis addresses four research questions by applying a probabilistic treatment in four distinct but closely related case studies. These four case studies are selected to illustrate the flexibility and unique benefits offered by this method. Research Question 1 asks how the probabilistic qualities of an interface can be determined and how this can inform design. This question is investigated in the context of text entry in VR with a probabilistic characterisation performed on two fundamental design choices. Research Question 2 relates to the challenge of adapting AR applications to deployment contexts not knowable at design time. A study in which crowdworkers are employed to build a probabilistic understanding of the requirements for contextually adaptive AR answers this question. The text entry theme is revisited in answering Research Questions 3 which asks how high levels of input noise can be mitigated through inference. A probabilistic text entry method specifically tailored for use in AR is implemented and evaluated. Finally, Research Question 4 asks how the high dimensional design space in AR and VR applications can be efficiently explored to support ideal design choices. Interface refinement through probabilistic optimisation and crowdsourcing is shown to be highly efficient and effective for this purpose. A probabilistic treatment in the design process has many potential benefits, principle among which is increased robustness to circumstances unanticipated at design time. This thesis contributes to the toolset and guidance available to designers and supports the development of next generation user interfaces specifically tailored to virtual and augmented reality.

description: We present the completed KMOS$^\mathrm{3D}$ survey $-$ an integral field spectroscopic survey of 739, $\log(M_{\star}/M_{\odot})>9$, galaxies at $0.610.5$). We confirm our first year results of a high rotation dominated fraction (monotonic velocity gradient and $v_\mathrm{rot}$/$σ_0 > \sqrt{3.36}$) of 77% for the full KMOS$^\mathrm{3D}$ H$α$sample. The rotation-dominated fraction is a function of both stellar mass and redshift with the strongest evolution measured over the redshift range of the survey for galaxies with $\log(M_{\star}/M_{\odot})<10.5$. With this paper we include a final data release of all 739 observed objects.

description: We have recently shown that axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) may emit an observable stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background when they begin to oscillate in the early universe. In this note, we identify the regions of ALP parameter space which may be probed by future GW detectors, including ground- and space-based interferometers and pulsar timing arrays. Interestingly, these experiments have the ability to probe axions from the bottom up, i.e. in the very weakly coupled regime which is otherwise unconstrained. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of finite dark photon mass and kinetic mixing on the mechanism, as well as the (in)sensitivity to couplings of the axion to Standard Model fields. We conclude that realistic axion and ALP scenarios may indeed be probed by GW experiments in the future, and provide signal templates for further studies.

description: Pure leptonic and semileptonic rare B decays, $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ and $B \to X_s μ^+ μ^-$ in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), in particular, gluino and neutralino contributions to the decays, are discussed under Br($B \to X_s γ$) and other experimental constraints . The general scalar quark mass matrices as the new sources of flavor violation are considered. We present Wilson coefficients of $bs$ transitions from $γ$, $Z$, and neutral Higgs boson penguin diagrams by using vertex mixing method to deal with scalar down-type quark flavor changing and also give their expressions in MIA to show different sources of enhancements. We find that under the experimental constraints, with large mixing of left-handed and right-handed sbottom, $C^{(\prime)}_{10}$ can be enhanced by 10% compared with SM, in two cases, heavy gluino and fine-tuning between $δ^{dLL}_{23}$($δ^{dRR}_{23}$) and $δ^{dLR}_{23}$($δ^{dRL}_{23}$) terms in $C^{(\prime)}_7$. Particularly, $C_{10}$ and $C_{10}^{\prime}$ can reach a 20% enhancement in some regions of parameters under experimental constraints. When CP-odd Higgs $A^0$ is not too heavy ($\sim 250$GeV), and $\tanβ$ is large ($\sim 40$), neutral Higgs boson penguins with gluino and down-type squark in the loop can significantly contribute to the $bs$ transition and the contributions can compete with those due to the chargino and up-type squark loop.

description: We investigate the gravitational production of scalar dark matter particles during the inflationary and reheating epochs. The oscillatory behavior of the curvature scalar $R$ during the reheating phase generates two different enhancement mechanisms in the particle production. On the one hand, as it has been already discussed in previous works, it induces tachyonic instabilities in the field which are the dominant enhancement mechanism for light masses. On the other hand, we have found that it also provokes a resonant effect in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum which becomes dominant for masses in the range $10^9\,{\rm GeV}$ to $10^{13}\,{\rm GeV}$. We have developed an analytical approximation to describe this resonance effect and its consequences on the ultraviolet regime. Once we have calculated the theoretical gravitational production, we constrain the possible values of the phenomenological field parameters to be considered as a dark matter candidate. We do so by comparing the theoretically predicted abundance with the observed one and ensuring that the theoretical prediction does not lead to overproduction. In particular, we find that there is a region of intermediate masses that is forbidden as they would lead to overproduction.

description: We study the absorption lines present in the spectra of the long-period cataclysmic variable GK Per during its quiescent state, which are associated with the secondary star. By comparing quiescent data with outburst spectra we infer that the donor star appears identical during the two states and the inner face of the secondary star is not noticeably irradiated by flux from the accreting regions. We obtain new values for the radial velocity semi-amplitude of the secondary star, Kk = 120.5 +- 0.7 km/s, a projected rotational velocity, Vksin i = 61.5 +- 11.8 km/s and consequently a measurement of the stellar mass ratio of GK Per, q = Mk/Mwd = 0.55 +- 0.21. The inferred white dwarf radial velocities are greater than those measured traditionally using the wings of Doppler-broadened emission lines suspected to originate in an accretion disk, highlighting the unsuitability of emission lines for mass determinations in cataclysmic variables. We determine mass limits for both components in the binary, Mk >= 0.48 +- 0.32 Msolar and Mwd >= 0.87 +- 0.24 Msolar.

description: Collision avoidance is one of the most promising applications for vehicular networks, dramatically improving the safety of the vehicles that support it. In this paper, we investigate how it can be extended to benefit vulnerable users, e.g., pedestrians and bicycles, equipped with a smartphone. We argue that, owing to the reduced capabilities of smartphones compared to vehicular on-board units, traditional distributed approaches are not viable, and that multi-access edge computing (MEC) support is needed. Thus, we propose a MEC-based collision avoidance system, discussing its architecture and evaluating its performance. We find that, thanks to MEC, we are able to extend the protection of collision avoidance, traditionally thought for vehicles, to vulnerable users without impacting its effectiveness or latency.

description: Motivated by the recent discovery of the near-ubiquity of Ly$α$ emission around $z \gtrsim 3$ QSOs, we performed a systematic study of QSO circumgalactic Ly$α$ emission at $z\approx2$, utilizing the unique capability of the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) -- a new wide-field, blue sensitive integral-field spectrograph (IFU). In this paper, we present KCWI observations on a sample of 16 ultraluminous Type-I QSOs at $z=2.1-2.3$ with ionizing luminosities of $L_{\rm{ν_{\rm{LL}}}}=10^{31.1-32.3}$ erg s$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1}$. We found that 14 out of 16 QSOs are associated with Ly$α$ nebulae with projected linear-sizes larger than 50 physical kpc (pkpc). Among them, four nebulae have enormous Ly$α$ emission with the Ly$α$ surface brightness $SB_{\rm{Lyα}} >10^{-17}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ arcsec$^{-2}$ on the $>100$ kpc scale, extending beyond the field of view of KCWI. Our KCWI observations reveal that most $z\approx2$ QSO nebulae have a more irregular morphology compared to those at $z\gtrsim3$. In turn, we measure that the circularly-averaged surface brightness (SB) at $z\approx2$ is 0.4 dex fainter than the redshift-corrected, median SB at $z\gtrsim 3$. The Ly$α$ SB profile (SB$_{\rm{Lyα}}$) of QSOs at $z\approx 2$ can be described by a power law of SB$_{\rm{Lyα},z\approx2.3}= 3.7\times10^{-17}\times(r/40)^{-1.8}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ arcsec$^{-2}$, with the slope similar to that at $z\gtrsim3$. The observed lower redshift-corrected, circularly-averaged SB may be mainly due to the lower covering factor of cool gas clouds in massive halos at $z\approx2$.

description: Income diversification is viewed as a critical component of poverty reduction in developing countries. Governments promote agricultural policies to increase farm household income. This paper analyzes income diversification strategies of smallholder coffee producers in Nepal using survey data for 441 households. Results show that households derive a higher share of their income from off-farm sources than from farm sources. The income from off-farm sources, including remittance, depends on family size and household education. Household education increases income through access to off-farm domestic and international labour markets. Access to education is a critically important precursor to increasing income and reducing dependence on resource-poor farms. Low-income households with a relatively high proportion of income derived from agriculture benefit the most from commodity-based extension policy.

description: This paper presents a systematic review of the applications of the economic evaluation methods that are relevant to Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). WSUD involves integrating the urban water cycle into urban design to improve water supply and environmental protection. The review considers four main WSUD-related aspects: improving and securing water supply requirements; protection of groundwater systems; management of wastewater; and environmental protection. The literature reviewed is grouped under these broad headings, and the evaluation method used to obtain information about non-market values. The advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each non-market valuation method are also summarized and compared. The review establishes that the two methods most commonly used to estimate non-market values for benefits relevant to WSUD have been contingent valuation and choice experiments (also known as choice modelling). Other valuation methods, such as the travel cost method, the averting behaviour method, the hedonic price method, and engineering methods have also been used. For some areas of benefit that can be delivered through WSUD there is a reasonable knowledge base; yet in other areas the knowledge base is quite limited. The most appropriate way to generalise non-market valuation study results from one location to others remains unclear and is an area requiring additional research.

description: This paper studies energy-efficient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled wireless communications, where the UAV acts as a flying base station (BS) to serve the ground users (GUs) within some predetermined latency constraints, e.g., requested timeout (RT). Our goal is to design the UAV trajectory to minimize the total energy consumption while satisfying the RT requirement and energy budget, which is accomplished via jointly optimizing the trajectory and UAV's velocities along subsequent hops. The corresponding optimization problem is difficult to solve due to its non-convexity and combinatorial nature. To overcome this difficulty, we solve the original problem via two consecutive steps. Firstly, we propose two algorithms, namely heuristic search, and dynamic programming (DP) to obtain a feasible set of trajectories without violating the GU's RT requirements based on the traveling salesman problem with time window (TSPTW). Then, they are compared with exhaustive search and traveling salesman problem (TSP) used as reference methods. While the exhaustive algorithm achieves the best performance at a high computation cost, the heuristic algorithm exhibits poorer performance with low complexity. As a result, the DP is proposed as a practical trade-off between the exhaustive and heuristic algorithms. Specifically, the DP algorithm results in near-optimal performance at a much lower complexity. Secondly, for given feasible trajectories, we propose an energy minimization problem via a joint optimization of the UAV's velocities along subsequent hops. Finally, numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms. ...

description: This paper deals with the role of regional trade in fostering the resilience of domestic food markets. Using country production and trade data from FAOSTAT database, a series of simple indicators are calculated that shed light on the potential for domestic markets stabilization through trade among African countries within Regional Economic Communities, including the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). A regional, economy-wide multimarket model is then used to simulate changes in current productivity levels and trade costs. The findings reveal that it is possible to significantly boost the pace of regional trade expansion and thus its contribution to creating more resilient domestic food markets through modest reduction in the overall cost of trading, a similarly modest increase in crop yields, or the removal of barriers to trans-border trade.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Strong two- and three-body decays of the new excited hyperon $Ω^*(2012)$ are discussed in the hadronic molecular approach. The $Ω^*(2012)$ state is considered to contain the mixed $Ξ\bar K$ and $Ωη$ hadronic components. In our calculations we use a phenomenological hadronic Lagrangian describing the coupling of the bound states to its constituents and of the constituents to other hadrons occurring in the final state. Our results show that the decay widths of the two-body decay modes $Ω^*(2012) \to Ξ\bar K$ lie in the few MeV region and are compatible with or dominate over the rates of the three-body modes $Ω^*(2012) \to Ξπ\bar K$. The sum of two- and three-body decay widths is consistent with a width of the $Ω^*(2012)$ originally measured by the Belle Collaboration. A possible scenario for the suppression of the three-body decay rate recently noticed by the Belle Collaboration is due to the dominant admixture of the $Ωη$ hadronic component in the $Ω^*(2012)$ state.

We seek to contribute to the relevant literature by paying particular attention to the role of public policy for promoting renewable energy investment and to better understand future energy security implication of various uncertainties. Dynamic linear programming model created using General Algebraic Modelling Systems (GAMS) software was used to explore the national energy security implications of uncertainties associated with technological and efficiency innovations, and climate change or drought scenarios. To cope with the impacts of drought on hydroelectric power production Ethiopia would need to invest in the development of alternative energy resources. This would improve sustainability and reliability, but these changes would also increase production costs. But greater technical and efficiency innovations found to improve electricity diversification, reduce production costs and shadow prices or resources scarcity; and are, thus, key for reducing the risks posed by drought and for enhancing energy security.

description: The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.

The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.

 Diagnoses. The genus was adequately characterized by Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty (1996) and later by Domínguez et al. (2006). Herein we add one important character regarding the nymphal stage which has been observed in all Brazilian species as well as in an unidentified species from Central America: the shape of the lateral branch of the epicranial suture. In most baetids they are straight or curved, while in Americabaetis they are sinuous, somewhat similar to those of the genus Baetodes Needham & Murphy, and can be very useful when identifying nymphs of the family (see Figs. 2, 18 and 19). Other characteristic that can be emended to the nymphal diagnoses is the presence of scales and/or scale bases over body.
 Nymphs (modified from Domínguez et al. 2006): 1) Lateral branch of epicranial suture sinuous; 2) mandibles with setae between prostheca and mola, incisors fused apically, and prostheca robust with denticles apically; 3) maxillary palp two-segmented; 4) glossa with a row of long spine-like setae, paraglossae rectangular with 3 rows of long spine-like setae, segment II of labial palp with a distomedial projection; 5) tarsal claws with a single row of denticles; 6) hind wing pads absent; 7) abdominal gills present on segment II–VII; 8) scales and/or scale bases over body.
 Male imagos (modified from Domínguez et al. 2006): 1) Dorsal portion of turbinate eyes ellipsoidal; 2) forewings with paired (seldom single) marginal intercalary veins; 3) hind wings absent; 4) genitalia with forceps three-segmented, segment III elongate.

description: OODIDA (On-board/Off-board Distributed Data Analytics) is a platform for distributing and executing concurrent data analytics tasks. It targets fleets of reference vehicles in the automotive industry and has a particular focus on rapid prototyping. Its underlying message-passing infrastructure has been implemented in Erlang/OTP. External Python applications perform data analytics tasks. Most work is performed by clients (on-board). A central cloud server performs supplementary tasks (off-board). OODIDA can be automatically packaged and deployed, which necessitates restarting parts of the system, or all of it. This is potentially disruptive. To address this issue, we added the ability to execute user-defined Python modules on clients as well as the server. These modules can be replaced without restarting any part of the system and they can even be replaced between iterations of an ongoing assignment. This facilitates use cases such as iterative A/B testing of machine learning algorithms or modifying experimental algorithms on-the-fly.
