title: Assessing self efficacy in caregivers of children with cystic fibrosis
Creators: name: Patel, Latifa
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2012

description: Does the introduction of a parent reported outcome measure improve the self efficacy of caregivers of children with cystic fibrosis? Background: Parent Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) are an integral component of cystic fibrosis (CF) care yet there is little evidence supporting the role of PROM and their benefits. We are conducting a single centre pilot study to assess the impact of a PROM on the Self Efficacy (SE) of caregivers of children with CF. Aims: The aims of this study were to explore the feasibility and benefits of introducing the Challenges of Living with Cystic Fibrosis-Questionnaire (CLCF-Q) into clinical practice. The anticipated outcome was an increase in the SE of the caregivers. Methods: We are conducting a parallel randomised controlled intervention pilot study using the Cystic Fibrosis Self Efficacy-Questionnaire (CFSE-Q) as an outcome measure. All participants completed the CFSE-Q at 2 time points. Between these time points the intervention group completed the CLCF-Q as part of their annual assessment. They received feedback at their next clinic appointment from the team in the form of colour coded tables illustrating both the positive and negative issues raised in the CLCF-Q. They were invited to talk to members of the CF team and others (consultants, CF nurses, dieticians, physiotherapists, psychologists, pharmacists, family doctors and the school) about the issues raised in the CLCF-Q. Select participants (n=1) were also invited to participate in narrative interviews. Results: Preliminary data from 18 cases; of children aged 5-13 years (11♂, 7♀) are reported, (8 control, 10 intervention). The SE score ranged from 26/40 to 35/40 at baseline. In the control group the SE score remained relatively static whilst the intervention group has shown an increase in SE. Baseline SE ranged from 26/40 – 39/40 using only validated items and 36/56 – 53/56 including non-validated items. Average change in SE was -0.1 in the control group and 1.3 in the intervention group. With the inclusion of the non-validated items, average increase in SE was 0.8 in the control group and 4.2 in the intervention group. The control group showed consistent improvement in 4 items and a decline in 3 items. In comparison the intervention group showed consistent improvement in 8 items and decline in only 1 item. Conclusions: The CF team play a significant role in the lives of families of children with CF. They are recognised as invaluable by caregivers and are the first port of call when faced with a challenge. Potentially, the PROM CLCF-Q may have an important role in the annual assessment process. As well as extracting clinical data it raises unidentified concerns which may alert the CF team to otherwise un-recognised issues. A favourable consequence of routinely introducing the CLCF-Q into the annual assessment process may be an increase in the caregiver’s SE through improved communication between the caregiver and the CF team.

description: A theoretical trade model for vertically integrated markets was developed, assuming near-homogeneity for each commodities, in a non-spatial partial equilibrium framework. Demand for cotton was defined as a derived demand for textile production. Product differentiation assumption allow us to observe multiple commodity prices by type of economic activities. This assumption was adopted to provide a basis for explaining demand, production, and trade activities of the industries. An econometric model was developed and applied to investigate the structural nature of the textile-cotton trade. Macro economic variables and foreign textile market prices were identified to be the major factors causing volatile us cotton market conditions. Effects of textile trade liberalization on the textile cotton industry were measured. A negative welfare effect was estimated for the us cotton industry, while a positive total us welfare effect was estimated.

description: We introduce a four-parameter family of interacting particle systems on the line which can be diagonalized explicitly via a complete set of Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions, and which enjoy certain Markov dualities. Using this, for the systems started in step initial data we write down nested contour integral formulas for moments and Fredholm determinant formulas for Laplace-type transforms. Taking various choices or limits of parameters, this family degenerates to many of the known exactly solvable models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, as well as leads to many new examples of such models. In particular, ASEP, the stochastic six-vertex model, q-TASEP and various directed polymer models all arise in this manner. Our systems are constructed from stochastic versions of the R-matrix related to the six-vertex model. One of the key tools used here is the fusion of R-matrices and we provide a probabilistic proof of this procedure.

description: The Oort conjecture (now a theorem of Obus-Wewers and Pop) states that if k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, then any cyclic branched cover of smooth projective k-curves lifts to characteristic zero. This is equivalent to the local Oort conjecture, which states that all cyclic extensions of k[[t]] lift to characteristic zero. We generalize the local Oort conjecture to the case of Galois extensions with cyclic p-Sylow subgroups, reduce the conjecture to a pure characteristic p statement, and prove it in several cases. In particular, we show that D_9 is a so-called local Oort group.

description: Oshtoran Syndrome, also known as H63D Syndrome Type-3, is a rare, potentially life-threatening multisystem disease characterized by a homozygous mutation of the HFE gene H63D. This quick guide provides essential information for physicians who may unexpectedly encounter patients with this condition. Key features include the accumulation of toxic non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI), severe autonomic dysfunction, and variable innate immune system impairment. Patients often appear healthier than their actual condition, which can be misleading. The syndrome cannot be detected by standard laboratory tests or imaging. Treatment is highly individualized and includes careful pharmacological management, iron monitoring, and supportive therapies. This guideline emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining established treatments, as any changes can have fatal consequences. It also highlights the dangers of common iron reduction therapies in these patients and the need for immediate, stress-free medical attention to prevent life-threatening complications.
title: The clinical assessment of spirituality in palliative care
Creators: name: Cobb, Mark
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2014

description: Background: The practice of palliative care and the specialty of palliative medicine emerged from the modern hospice movement and its foundational philosophy of treating the whole person. This holistic approach recognises that the needs of dying patients are complex and multifaceted. Spirituality is one of the dimensions of palliative care practice and it was assumed that there was sufficient robust primary data to support a synthesis of evidence. However, a critical examination of the published data found that many studies make use of unexamined assumptions and ambiguous constructs. The research in this field is therefore missing an important methodological step in the inductive cycle by failing to articulate explicit theory or identify critical concepts. Aim: To construct a conceptual model of spirituality that provides a systematic way of illustrating the essential properties, functions and relationships of how spirituality operates in the lives of palliative care patients that can be subject to empirical testing. Methods: Conceptual model building was used as a method of theoretical investigation to construct a minimal abstract and indirect representation of the way that spirituality potentially operates in the lives of patients. The model was then subject to empirical testing through generating quantitative and qualitative data from palliative care patients participating in a questionnaire and interview. Analysis: Quantitative data from the questionnaires was subject to descriptive statistics and exploratory data analysis using techniques of visual representation. Qualitative data was subject to deductive content analysis based upon categories derived from the conceptual model. Results: A Synoptic Model was developed whose theoretical claims were congruent with the findings from this sample with the exception of the disease construct. 19 patients participated in the questionnaire phase of the study and 10 participated in an interview. Patients discussed multiple aspects of spirituality including their beliefs, practices and experiences. For some patients spirituality provided an orientation to life and helped make sense of illness and its consequences. Spirituality was also a resource for some patients in helping them to face their current situation and their mortality. Discussion: The Synoptic Model provides empirically supported theoretical knowledge of spirituality that can be utilised in the context of palliative care and has implications for clinical practice in terms of patient care, education and development, and assessment. Further development and testing is required in different settings to refine the Synoptic Model’s content and specification.
title: Monitoring radiation damage in the vertex locator and top pair production in LHCb
Creators: name: Brown, Henry
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2014

description: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a proton-proton collider at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN). The LHCb experiment is one of the four main experiments at the LHC. It is designed for the detection of bbbar pairs produced in proton-proton collisions and to make precision measurements of B-mesons. The trigger level identification of B-mesons is provided by the Vertex Locator (VELO), which is the primary tracking detector of the experiment. Due to its proximity to the interaction point, the VELO is exposed to high levels of radiation damage. A new method of monitoring the damage is to perform current-voltage (IV) scans and to compare the results of these scans to laboratory tests on sample sensors. A method to perform the first ttbar production measurement in the $\eta>2$ range at the LHC, using a dilepton+b-jet channel, is also presented. A fiducial cross-section is obtained of $\sigma_{\mathrm{fid}}= 24.3^{+14.6}_{-9.7}\mathrm{(stat.)}\pm 6.9\mathrm{(syst.)} \pm 0.9 \mathrm{(lumi.)}$fb, which is consistent with Standard Model expectations. The author's work was to perform the analysis of the IV scans and the comparison to the empirical models obtained in test environments, and to develop the method, as well as the necessary theoretical predictions, for the top pair cross-section measurement.

description: The magnetic field-induced changes in the conductivity of metals are the subject of intense interest, both for revealing new phenomena and as a valuable tool for determining their Fermi surface. Here, we report a hitherto unobserved magnetoresistive effect in ultra-clean layered metals, namely a negative longitudinal magnetoresistance that is capable of overcoming their very pronounced orbital one. This effect is correlated with the inter-layer coupling disappearing for fields applied along the so-called Yamaji angles where the inter-layer coupling vanishes. Therefore, it is intrinsically associated with the Fermi points in the field-induced quasi-one-dimensional electronic dispersion, implying that it results from the axial anomaly among these Fermi points. In its original formulation, the anomaly is predicted to violate separate number conservation laws for left- and right-handed chiral- (e.g. Weyl) fermions. Its observation in PdCoO$_2$, PtCoO$_2$ and Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ suggests that the anomaly affects the transport of clean conductors, particularly near the quantum limit.

title: Computer simulation of dislocation interaction with radiation-induced obstacles in iron
Creators: name: Grammatikopoulos, Panagiotis
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2011

description: Assessment of candidate materials for fusion power plants provide one of the major structural materials challenges of the next decades. Computer simulation provides a useful alternative to experiments on real-life irradiated materials. Within the framework of a multi-scale modelling approach, atomic scale studies by molecular dynamics (MD) and statics (MS) are of importance, since they enable understanding of atomic interaction mechanisms invisible at coarser scales. Nano-scale defect clusters, such as voids, solute-atom precipitates and dislocation loops can form in metals irradiated by high-energy atomic particles. Since they are obstacles to dislocation glide, they can affect plasticity, substantially changing the yield and flow stresses and ductility. In this study, a model for α-Fe developed by Osetsky and Bacon [26] has been used, that enables dislocation motion under applied shear strain at various temperatures and strain rates. Three main results were obtained. First, the two interatomic potentials used (A97 [79] and A04 [31]) were assessed with respect to reproducing dislocation properties. Both were in good agreement but for one fact: an unexpected and not previously reported displacement of core atoms along the direction of the dislocation line of a 1/2[111](1-10) edge dislocation was observed for the A97 potential. A connection of this phenomenon with differences in Peierls stress values for the two potentials was proposed. Second, the interaction of a 1/2[111](1-10) edge dislocation with a number of different configurations of spherical voids and Cu-precipitates 2 and 4 nm in diameter was investigated. The defects were centred on, above and below the dislocation glide plane. The mechanisms governing the interactions were analysed. For the first time it was observed that by interacting with a void, the dislocation can undergo both positive and negative climb, depending on the void position. A bcc to fcc phase transition was observed for the larger precipitates, in agreement with literature findings. Third, the obstacle strength of 1/2‹111› and ‹100› loops was obtained under various conditions and geometries for both potentials. Interactions are sometimes complex, but could be described in terms of conventional dislocation reactions in which Burgers vector is conserved. The critical resolved shear stress for dislocation breakaway and the fraction of interstitials left behind are wide-ranging. Finally, a mapping of all obstacle strengths was created for the purpose of comparison. ‹100› loops with Burgers vector parallel to the dislocation glide plane and 1/2‹111› loops proved to be strong obstacles. Small size voids are stronger than Cu-precipitates of the same size. The complexity of some reactions and the variety of obstacle strengths poses a challenge for the development of continuum models of dislocation behaviour in irradiated iron.
Observation of Discrete Oscillations in a Model-independent Plot of Cosmological Scale Factor vs. Lookback Time and a Scalar Field Model

description: We have observed damped longitudinal cosmological-scale oscillations in a unique model-independent plot of scale factor against cosmological time for Type Ia supernovae data. We found several first-derivative relative maxima/minima spanning the range of reported transition-redshifts. These extrema comprise 2 full cycles with a period of approximately 0.15 Hubble times (H0=68 km/s/Mpc). This period corresponds to a fundamental frequency of approximately 7 cycles over the Hubble time. Transition-z values quoted in the literature generally fall near these minima and may explain the reported wide spread up to the predicted LCDM value of approximately z = 0.77. We also observe second and third harmonics of the fundamental. The scale factor data is analyzed several different ways including smoothing, Fourier transform and autocorrelation. We propose a cosmological scalar field harmonic oscillator model for the observation. On this time scale, for a quantum scalar field, the scalar field mass is extraordinarily small at 3x10-32 eV. Our scalar field density parameter precisely replaces the LCDM dark matter density parameter in the Friedmann equations, resulting in essentially identical data fits, and its present value matches the Planck value. Thus the wave is fundamentally a dark matter wave. We therefore posit that this scalar field manifests itself as the dark matter.

title: Hazard responses in the pre-industrial era: vulnerability and resilience of traditional societies to volcanic disasters
Creators: name: Sangster, Heather
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2014

description: This thesis has two aims to: a. assess the vulnerability and resilience of traditional societies and those on the threshold of modernisation to volcanic and volcano-related disasters; and b. evaluate the extent to which historical events and their associated responses may inform future policies of disaster management. In order to address these aims this thesis has three objectives, these being: a. to test the strengths and weaknesses of two methodologies, an historical approach based on archival and other information - applied to Etna and Vesuvius and a set of techniques focused around vulnerability and resilience – applied to the Azores; b. to identify traditional strategies of coping and survival during the pre-industrial period in the three case-study areas; and c. to evaluate the potential use of these data in the development of future disaster management plans. During this research techniques from the earth sciences (i.e. field data collection) were combined with those more commonly seen in historical studies (i.e. archival data sources) to draw out the ways in which people have coped in the past to eruptions. Field visits were carried out on Etna, Sicily (Italy) and São Miguel Island, Azores (Portugal). The principal conclusions of this research are:- a. That the historical and vulnerability and resilience approach worked well, respectively for Etna and the Azores. b. Less successful was the application of the historical approach to Vesuvius. In contrast to Etna this reflected amongst other things the fact that the last eruption occurred nearly seventy years ago (i.e. in 1944) and since that time the ‘folk’ memory of volcanic activity has been largely expunged because of rapid economic development combined with population growth. c. In all three case study areas, volcanic earthquakes are an under-stated hazard; the process of development is increasing vulnerability and the practice of popular Catholicism does not prevent responses based on scientific understanding and civil defence planning. The study identifies that future work would benefit from the application of a vulnerability and resilience based methodology grounded within both historical and contemporary contexts.

description: I answer an open question left by Gui-Song Li in "On self-intersections of immersed surfaces" (AMS Proceedings, Volume 126, 1998, pp.3721-3726.) The intersection graph $M(i)$ of a generic surface $i:F \to S^3$ is the set of values which are either singularities or intersections. It is a multigraph whose edges are transverse intersections of two surfaces and whose vertices are triple intersections and cross-caps. $M(i)$ has an additional structure which Li called "a daisy graph." If F is oriented then the orientation further refines $M(i)$'s structure into what Li called an "arrowed daisy graph." Li left the open question "which arrowed daisy graphs can be realized as the intersection graph of an oriented generic surface?" The main theorem of this article will answer this. I will also provide some generalizations and extensions to this theorem in sections 4 and 5.

We also prove similar results in 2D translation-invariant systems and for the 3D Heisenberg and Hubbard models with local magnetic fields. Consequently, unless MA = QMA, not all ground states of 2D local Hamiltonians with area laws have efficient classical representations that support efficient computation of local expectation values. In the future, even if area laws are proved for ground states of 2D gapped systems, the computational complexity of these systems remains unclear.

title: A social constructivist analysis of civil-military relations: US-Mexican bilateral military relations, 2000-2008
Creators: name: Campbell, Colin
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2010

description: This thesis looks at the nature of civil-military relations in the post-Cold War and the post-9/11 era through the theoretical lens of social constructivism. The study looks at the inter-relationship between the respective civil-military relations and US-Mexican bilateral ties from a constructivist perspective, with the aim of deconstructing the ideational structures of civil-military relations within the state and the state based international system to promote stronger organic structures for civilian control over the state agents of violence. The aim of thesis is to provide a theoretical model to both unite the theoretical rationale for the humanisation, indeed demilitarisation, of security concerns within the Western Hemisphere and in particular the US and Mexico. Hence, creating a novel theoretical model for the understanding and explanation of civil-military and bilateral relations.

description: Despite much progress in recent years, the vast majority of work in natural language processing (NLP) is on standard languages with many speakers. In this work, we instead focus on low-resource languages and in particular non-standardized low-resource languages. Even within branches of major language families, often considered well-researched, little is known about the extent and type of available resources and what the major NLP challenges are for these language varieties. The first step to address this situation is a systematic survey of available corpora (most importantly, annotated corpora, which are particularly valuable for NLP research). Focusing on Germanic low-resource language varieties, we provide such a survey in this paper. Except for geolocation (origin of speaker or document), we find that manually annotated linguistic resources are sparse and, if they exist, mostly cover morphosyntax. Despite this lack of resources, we observe that interest in this area is increasing: there is active development and a growing research community. To facilitate research, we make our overview of over 80 corpora publicly available.

Special cases of these processes include Dyson's Brownian motion model and the Wishart-Laguerre eigenvalue processes, which are well-known in random matrix theory. It is known that the dynamics of Dunkl processes is obtained by transforming the heat kernel using Dunkl's intertwining operator. It is also known that, under an appropriate scaling, their distribution function converges to a steady-state distribution which depends only on the coupling parameter $β$ as the process time $t$ tends to infinity. We study scaled Dunkl processes starting from an arbitrary initial distribution, and we derive expressions for the intertwining operator in order to calculate the asymptotics of the distribution function in two limiting situations. In the first one, $β$ is fixed and $t$ tends to infinity (approach to the steady state), and in the second one, $t$ is fixed and $β$ tends to infinity (strong-coupling limit). We obtain the deviations from the limiting distributions in both of the above situations, and we find that they are caused by the two different mechanisms which drive the process, namely, the drift and exchange mechanisms. We find that the deviation due to the drift mechanism decays as $t^{-1}$, while the deviation due to the exchange mechanism decays as $t^{-1/2}$.

title: Study and optimisation of undulator-based polarised positron sources for linear colliders
Creators: name: Zang, Lei
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2011

description: High-energy accelerators play an important role in physics research. The International Linear Collider (ILC) and Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) are proposed future accelerators which will require of order 1014 positrons per second to fulfil their luminosity requirements. In addition, polarisation of the positron beam will increase the scope of the physics studies that can be performed using a linear collider. Production of large quantities of polarised positrons is one of the major challenges for the research, development and design of any future linear collider. A polarised positron source based on gamma rays produced by a high energy electron beam in a helical undulator has been selected as the baseline option for ILC. The design is relatively mature, and previous studies have shown that it should be capable of producing the required positron beam intensity and polarisation. We review the design using a range of analytical and simulation tools. We also consider, in more detail than in previous studies, two options for the design of a photon collimator that could be used to improve the positron polarisation. Although a Compton source is presently the baseline choice for the positron source for CLIC, an undulator-based scheme remains an option. We discuss the possibility of an undulator-based polarised positron source for CLIC Stage 1 (500 GeV centre of mass collision energy), and consider options for an undulator-based positron source in the upgrade to Stage 2 (3 TeV centre of mass collision energy). For both ILC and CLIC, energy deposition from the gamma rays striking the positron production target is a concern. For ILC, the energy density can be reduced by rotating the target at high speed; however, this raises concerns about the eddy currents induced by the strong field of the matching device. We report the results of experiments at Daresbury Laboratory to understand the eddy current effects, and to validate models for predicting the effects in the final system.
title: On the relative succinctness of some modal logics
Creators: name: Iliev, Petar
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: The aim of this thesis is to compare several extensions of multimodal logic in terms of their representational succinctness on different classes of models. Succinctness is a natural refinement on the notion of expressivity. Intuitively, given two logics L1 and L2, we say that L1 expresses more succinctly than L2 some properties of a class of models if the L1-formulae expressing the properties in question are significantly shorter than all the equivalent L2-formulae. The precise technical interpretation of "significantly shorter" depends on the case at hand and may mean "exponentially shorter", "nonelementary shorter", etc. This work was motivated by the question of whether public announcement logic (PAL) is exponentially more succinct than multimodal logic (ML) on the class S5 of Kripke models with underlying structures in which all relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Using techniques based on a generalisation of Ehrenfeucht-Fra��ss�e games called Adler- Immerman games, we show that extending ML in two di�erent ways: by allowing formulae [[
title: The foraging behaviour of seabirds: defining and predicting home range areas
Creators: name: Soanes, Louise
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2014

description: In recent years, seabird tracking studies have become ever more popular as a means of informing and evaluating the effectiveness of marine protected areas and offshore energy developments as well as in understanding the ecology and behaviour of seabirds. This study uses tracking data collected from the European shag, Black-legged kittiwake, Northern gannet and Brown booby to identify important foraging areas around four seabird colonies located in the UK, Channel Islands and Anguilla and examines the impact of offshore renewable energy developments in the Channel Islands. As well as providing examples of how seabird tracking data can be useful in informing marine spatial planning, this study also considers the impact that sample size and the sample composition may have on the foraging areas predicted for any colony. Small sample sizes are a common feature of tracking studies, often due to logistical and financial constraints, meaning that seabirds are often tracked over short spatial and temporal scales which may not fully represent the important foraging areas and behaviours of the colony or individual. This study therefore provides recommendations to improve the predictions of area use and foraging strategy for future tracking studies to ensure the most representative and useful data is collected and used to inform marine spatial planning issues.

A $(1 + {\varepsilon})$-Embedding of Low Highway Dimension Graphs into Bounded Treewidth Graphs

description: Graphs with bounded highway dimension were introduced by Abraham et al. [SODA 2010] as a model of transportation networks. We show that any such graph can be embedded into a distribution over bounded treewidth graphs with arbitrarily small distortion. More concretely, given a weighted graph G = (V, E) of constant highway dimension, we show how to randomly compute a weighted graph H = (V, E') that distorts shortest path distances of G by at most a 1 + ${\varepsilon}$ factor in expectation, and whose treewidth is polylogarithmic in the aspect ratio of G. Our probabilistic embedding implies quasi-polynomial time approximation schemes for a number of optimization problems that naturally arise in transportation networks, including Travelling Salesman, Steiner Tree, and Facility Location. To construct our embedding for low highway dimension graphs we extend Talwar's [STOC 2004] embedding of low doubling dimension metrics into bounded treewidth graphs, which generalizes known results for Euclidean metrics. We add several non-trivial ingredients to Talwar's techniques, and in particular thoroughly analyse the structure of low highway dimension graphs. Thus we demonstrate that the geometric toolkit used for Euclidean metrics extends beyond the class of low doubling metrics.

title: ALICE tomography section: phase-space measurements and analysis
Creators: name: Ibison, Mark
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2014

description: The technique of phase-space tomography applies the principles of tomographic re-construction to the diagnostics of particle accelerator beams. It is one of the few methods capable of mapping phase-space in detail, using instrumentation commonly available on research accelerator beam-lines, that is, beam profile imaging and variable focussing magnets. This thesis studies the effects of space-charge in the particle bunch on the measurement of transverse phase-space, in the horizontal and vertical dimensions, by the beam tomography method. It applies a novel `comparative' method of using quadrupole tomography scanning to look for these effects, over the length of the diagnostic section of the injection line which transfers the electron beam from the ALICE accelerator to the Electron Model for Many Applications (EMMA) ring at the Daresbury Laboratory. Simulations of the full tomographic process, from beam profle imaging to reconstruction, are developed in the particle tracking code GPT. These are used to investigate space-charge effects, in support of the experimental studies. The concept of `normalised phase-space' is described, in the context of tomography with a very limited number of views, presenting its advantages as applied to a specific type of reconstruction algorithm, the Maximum Entropy Technique. Recommendations for future work in this field are suggested, with possible application both for new machines at the Daresbury Laboratory, and at other accelerator facilities.

description: The statistics of the heat exchanged between two quantum XX spin chains prepared at different temperatures is studied within the assumption of weak coupling. This provides simple formulas for the average heat and its corresponding characteristic function, from which the probability distribu- tion may be computed numerically. These formulas are valid for arbitrary sizes and therefore allow us to analyze the role of the thermodynamic limit in this non-equilibrium setting. It is found that all thermodynamic quantities are extremely sensitive to the quantum phase transition of the XX chain.
