title: Ionic Mobility In Stuffed-Silica Minerals
Creators: name: Jones, Alison
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Using a combination of dielectric spectroscopy and atomistic computer simulation techniques, the dynamical behaviour of loosely bound cations in the stuffed-silica minerals nepheline, yoshiokaite and ß-eucryptite has been investigated. The investigation has been extended to include the feldspar minerals albite, K-feldspar and anorthite. The low-frequency dielectric properties of all of the minerals have been investigated from room temperature to 1100 K. At each temperature, the dielectric constant, conductivity and dielectric loss were determined over a range of frequencies from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. At high temperatures distinct Debye-type relaxation processes were observed, from which activation energies were determined for each system studied. In order to rationalise these data, in the context of actual ionic mobility mechanisms, atomistic simulation.- techniques were used to elucidate the mechanisms and energetics of cation migration. Good correlation between experimentally determined and calculated energy barriers has been demonstrated. The results obtained from computer modelling confirm the nature of the processes responsible for the observed dielectric behaviour. Furthermore, they reveal the importance of framework relaxation effects in the facilitation of ion migration within a structure. This study demonstrates that short-range ionic mobility in framework silicates can be described using conventional (Debye-type) activated "hopping" models. A detailed interpretation of the mechanism of these processes has been possible by a combination of dielectric spectroscopy and computer modelling techniques. By applying the methods used here to a variety of mineral systems, it should be possible to develop a comprehensive body of transferable data relating structural aspects of framework minerals to the systematic prediction of ion migration mechanisms and energetics.

description: We propose a multi-agent logic of knowledge, public and arbitrary announcements, that is interpreted on topological spaces in the style of subset space semantics. The arbitrary announcement modality functions similarly to the effort modality in subset space logics, however, it comes with intuitive and semantic differences. We provide axiomatizations for three logics based on this setting, and demonstrate their completeness.

description: This thesis explores how the narratives presented in fairy tales influence black children and how they navigate fantasy and imagination while developing their self-image, world view, and definitions of value. This paper interacts with data ranging from the 1940s to the 2010s in order to see the shift in ideas of diversity and the inclusion of fairy tales and fantasy in educational settings over time. The methods used to gather data were semi-structured informal interviews with librarians, retired and active teachers, daycare workers, parents, etc. and content analysis of various stories and movies, most of which had fairy tale elements in them. After analyzing the data, the conclusion reached was that language and imagery are two of the most significant ways that narratives are presented and then absorbed by the audience. The interview respondents highlighted these two aspects continuously in their narrations of memories and experiences about fairy tales, diversity and childhood fantasy exploration both from their own childhood and their observations of children as adults. It became clear that representation needs to be present in literature and media. While it has improved over the years, there is still plenty of room for improvement.

description: We constructed a comprehensive model atom for C\ione\ -- C\ii\ using the most up-to-date atomic data available and evaluated the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) line formation for C\ione\ and C\ii\ in classical 1D models representing the atmospheres of A and late B-type stars. Our NLTE calculations predict the emission that appears at effective temperature of 9250 to 10\,500~K depending on log~$g$ in the C\ione\ 8335, 9405\,Å singlet lines and at \Teff~$>$~15\,000~K (log~$g$ = 4) in the C\ione\ 9061 -- 9111\,Å\,, 9603 -- 9658\,Å\, triplet lines. A prerequisite of the emission phenomenon is the overionization-recombination mechanism resulting in a depopulation of the lower levels of C\ione\ to a greater extent than the upper levels. Extra depopulation of the lower levels of the transitions corresponding to the near-infrared lines, is caused by photon loss in the UV lines C\ione\ 2479, 1930, and 1657\,Å. We analysed the lines of C\ione\ and C\ii\ in Vega, HD~73666, Sirius, 21~Peg, $π$~Cet, HD~22136, and $ι$ Her taking advantage of their observed high-resolution spectra. The C\ione\ emission lines were detected in the four hottest stars, and they were well reproduced in our NLTE calculations. For each star, the mean NLTE abundances from lines of the two ionization stages, C\ione\ and C\ii, including the C\ione\ emission lines, were found to be consistent. We show that the predicted C\ione\ emission phenomenon depends strongly on whether accurate or approximate electron-impact excitation rates are applied.

description: Background: In contemporary postgraduate medical education (PGME) based on the CanMEDS framework, competency-based assessment is increasingly used. One of the CanMEDS competencies is professionalism, a concept that is not univocally defined and gauged. Based on the literature, Mak – Van der Vossen et al. constructed the 4I’s model (Involvement, Interaction, Integrity, and Introspection), categorizing unprofessional behaviours in medical students (2017; 2020). Introspection was defined as inappropriately handling one’s own performance, including lacking self-awareness. The prior model was validated in PGME (Barnhoorn et al. 2021), indicating that lack of introspection was most relevant for residency discontinuation. There is a lack of insight into whether and how clinical supervisors recognize, assess, address, and attempt to improve these insufficiencies of introspection in residents.

description: Here, we present an overview of recent developments in the characterization of electromagnetic and quantum metamaterials using effective medium methods. It is highlighted that both electromagnetic and electronic systems can be homogenized in a unified manner based on the introduction of an effective Hamiltonian operator that describes the time evolution of the macroscopic initial states as well as the stationary states of the relevant system. Furthermore, it is shown that in some circumstances quadratic forms of the fields, such as the energy, can be exactly determined using the effective medium theory.

description: We propose a variant of the $D4$-$D8$ construction to describe the low energy effective theory of heavy-light mesons, interacting with the lowest lying pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The heavy degrees of freedom are identified with the $D8_L$-$D8_H$ string low energy modes, and are approximated near the world volume of $N_f-1$ light $D8_L$ branes, by fundamental vector field valued in $U(N_f-1)$. The effective action follows from the reduction of the bulk D-brane Born-Infeld (DBI) and Chern-Simons (CS) actions, and is shown to exhibit both chiral and heavy-quark symmetry. The action interpolates continuously between the $U(N_f)$ case with massless mesons, and the $U(N_f-1)$ case with heavy-light mesons. The heavy-light meson radial spectrum is Regge-like. The one-pion and two-pion couplings to the heavy-light multiplets are evaluated. The partial widths for the charged decays $G\rightarrow H+π$ are shown to be comparable to the recently reported full widths for both the charm and bottom mesons.

title: Iceberg distributions in Greenland’s fjords
Creators: name: Shiggins, Connor
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Iceberg calving is currently responsible for half of the mass loss from Greenland’s marine-terminating glaciers and could increase well into the 21st century. While dynamically important for the stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), icebergs also have a major influence on fjord circulation and stratification through melting and the subsequent release of fresh and cold water. The ice-ocean interface remains a difficult to access zone and we consequently know little about iceberg distributions in the near-terminus regions of Greenland’s outlet glaciers. This is as a result of few observational studies existing which have sought to derive iceberg observations in the fjords of Greenland. This study utilises cloud computing techniques and digital elevation models (DEMs) to automatically detect icebergs around the GrIS and constrain their distributions to interpret the importance of iceberg sizes on calving and fjord dynamics. This thesis shows cloud computing is a powerful application to automatically identifying icebergs on large spatial and temporal scales using open access DEMs. The approach has been packaged into a graphical user interface to provide an iceberg detection tool for researchers wanting to derive a dataset of icebergs at Greenland’s ice-ocean interface. The utilisation of DEMs allows the derivation of a volume for individual icebergs and has allowed this PhD project to provide comprehensive iceberg area-to-volume convertors for studies working with two-dimensional satellite imagery. Greenland-wide analysis has revealed each sector of the ice sheet calves relatively similar iceberg sizes, with pronounced differences in the larger size classes exceeding 10000 m3. Currently, it is not possible to derive a direct relationship between iceberg sizes and source glacier bed topography, as well as translating a glacier’s solid ice discharge into a predicted iceberg volume size due to data availability. When scaling to the largest marine-terminating glacier on the southwest coast of Greenland, Kangiata Nunaata Sermia (KNS) we find a complex fjord environment where iceberg decay is dominated by melt based processes, rather than fracture. These findings have implications for both remote sensing and modelling studies, and suggest icebergs in this region at the ice front are not necessarily best described as the typically assumed power law, rather lognormal is the best suited distributional fit. Icebergs calved at KNS tend to be small in size, particularly in August (2013 to 2017) when runoff is prominent and subglacial channels form, causing localised plume upwellings and enhanced melting of only a few sections of the ice front. For the first time, this PhD has been able to provide an ice-sheet-wide dataset of three-dimensional iceberg outlines which can be used to constrain and infer glacier calving behaviour and the subsequent implications of iceberg sizes on fjord environments.

description: We perform a detailed analysis of the nonclassical properties of a damped two-level system. We compute and compare three different criteria of quantumness, the $l_1$-norm of coherence, the Leggett- Garg inequality and a quantum witness based on the no-signaling in time condition. We show that all three quantum indicators decay exponentially in time as a result of the coupling to the thermal reservoir. We further demonstrate that the corresponding characteristic times are identical and given by the coherence half-life. These results quantify how violations of Leggett-Garg inequalities and nonzero values of the quantum witness are connected to the coherence of the two-level system.

The Energetics of White-light Flares Observed by SDO/HMI and RHESSI

description: White-light (WL) flares have been observed and studied more than a century since the first discovery. However, some fundamental physics behind the brilliant emission remains highly controversial. One of the important facts in addressing the flare energetics is the spatialtemporal correlation between the white-light emission and the hard X-ray radiation, presumably suggesting that the energetic electrons are the energy sources. In this study, we present a statistical analysis of 25 strong flares (?greater than or equal to M5) observed simultaneously by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). Among these events, WL emission was detected by SDO/HMI in 13 flares, associated with HXR emission. To quantitatively describe the strength of WL emission, equivalent area (EA) is defined as the integrated contrast enhancement over the entire flaring area. Our results show that the equivalent area is inversely proportional to the HXR power index, indicating that stronger WL emission tends to be associated with larger population of high energy electrons. However, no obvious correlation is found between WL emission and flux of non-thermal electrons at 50 keV. For the other group of 13 flares without detectable WL emission, the HXR spectra are softer (larger power index) than those flares with WL emission, especially for the X-class flares in this group.

description: We study the minimization of convex, variational integrals of linear growth among all functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,1}$ with prescribed boundary values (or its equivalent formulation as a boundary value problem for a degenerately elliptic Euler--Lagrange equation). Due to insufficient compactness properties of these Dirichlet classes, the existence of solutions does not follow in a standard way by the direct method in the calculus of variations and in fact might fail, as it is well-known already for the non-parametric minimal surface problem. Assuming radial structure, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the integrand such that the Dirichlet problem is in general solvable, in the sense that a Lipschitz solution exists for any regular domain and all prescribed regular boundary values, via the construction of appropriate barrier functions in the tradition of Serrin's paper [19].

description: Nutritional adequacy of small ruminant feed resources and the effect of storage on crude protein contents of predominant leguminous (groundnut and cowpea) residues were assessed in the Guinea Savannah agro-ecological zone of Ghana. Feed resources used in feeding small ruminants in two communities, Atebubu and Amantin, within the zone were sampled from six (6) farmers (three males and three females) from each community. Available feed resources ranged from household wastes like cassava peels to crop residues from maize, cowpea and groundnut and contained 72-92% DM, 76-97.2% OM, 2.8-18% Ash and 3.2-17.3% CP for Atebubu and 66.5-93% DM, 82-97.2% OM, 3.7-18% Ash and 3.7-12.5% CP. Twenty four (24) farmers were also selected for a Twenty eight (28) week trial on storage types (open and closed/Shed) effects on changes in crude protein concentration of two leguminous (Cowpea and Groundnut) residues. Storage data was analyzed with R at 5% significance. Samples of groundnut and cowpea residues in open and closed storage systems, taken at 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks, showed no significant (p > 0.05) decline in CP content with storage time with CP contents reaching 11.8% at week 22 for both shed and open storage types. Crude protein content was however significantly (p <0.05) lower (11.02%) in the residues under shed than in the open (12.21%) after 28 weeks. Results suggest locally available agro by-products have the potential as feed resources and can also be stored, without dramatic losses in essential nutrients like crude protein, for dry season feeding of ruminants.

description: Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a symmetry transforming bosons to fermions and vice versa. Indications of its existence have been extensively sought after in high-energy experiments. However, signatures of SUSY have yet to be detected. In this manuscript we propose a condensed matter realization of SUSY on the edge of a Read-Rezayi quantum Hall state, given by filling factors of the form $ν=\frac{k}{k+2}$, where $k$ is an integer. As we show, this strongly interacting state exhibits an $\mathcal{N}=2$ SUSY. This allows us to use a topological invariant - the Witten index - defined specifically for supersymmetric theories, to count the difference between the number of bosonic and fermionic zero-modes in a circular edge. In our system, we argue that the edge hosts $k+1$ protected zero-modes. We further discuss the stability of SUSY with respect to generic perturbations, and find that much of the above results remain unchanged. In particular, these results directly apply to the well-established $ν=1/3$ Laughlin state, in which case SUSY is a highly robust property of the edge theory. These results unveil a hidden topological structure on the long-studied Read-Rezayi states.

The model consists of a pair of chiral Yang-Mills and tachyon fields with specific boundary conditions that break spontaneously chiral symmetry in the infrared. The heavy-light spectrum and decay constants are evaluated explicitly. In the heavy mass limit the model exhibits both heavy-quark and chiral symmetry and allows for the explicit derivation of the one-pion axial couplings to the heavy-light mesons.

description: Databases are one of the most important resources for researchers in data-driven domains. In many organizations, it is yet still a challenge to make databases available from the beginning of a project and databases are maintained by some IT-savvy researcher who has the burden to do these tasks on-top of (or rather before being able to do) research. We present a repository for relational databases in a private cloud-based setting that: i) enables research early by providing databases on demand for researchers; ii) enables separation of concerns into researchers who work with the data, data providers who feed data into databases, IT-professionals who maintain the databases and the infrastructure and data stewards who curate data in databases; iii) allows assignment of semantic information of the table schema, by storing concepts from the Wikidata knowledge graph and units from the Ontology of Units of Measure; and iv) allows precise and persistent identification databases and arbitrary subsets.
Case-based exclusive continuing medical program to tackle professional practice gap - A pilot study from Vietnam

description: Medical knowledge is advancing at exponential speed, necessitating the need for frequent Continuing Medical Education (CME). Three prominent challenges in CME include (1) failure to narrow professional practice gap, (2) being international guideline-centered, not local-adaptive, and (3) using homogenous approach despite heterogenous learners.
 We designed a CME series “Back to old school”, addressing current issues in management of metabolic diseases. This program consisted exclusively of real-world cases from alumni of University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh city, who were practicing in major hospitals nationwide. Each session included two cases and one panel discussion. Learners were required to grade the program (on a scale from 1 to 5) and suggest topics for next sessions.
 From November 2021 to October 2022, there were 12 CMEs, covering the entire spectrum of metabolic diseases, from risk stratification to end-stage care. 80% of most learner-required topics were delivered.
 58.3% had <10 years of experience. 35.4% were cardiologist, others were from 7 different specialties. Complete satisfaction about the content (5/5) was achieved in 80%. What learners liked most about case-based CME was practicality (66.7%), easy application (37.5%) and solution to common barriers (54.2%).
 Ours was the first in Vietnam to include only case-based discussions. These cases were chosen based on learners’ request. Therefore, the CME narrowed professional practice gap.
 Secondly, our program instructed learners how to deal with real-life difficulties, focusing on patients’ best interest rather than just guideline-centered.
 Lastly, our program was delivered in a stepwise approach, starting from simple cases, leveling up to complex scenarios, thus achieving homogenous results from heterogenous participants.
 In conclusion, a case-based, learner-centered CME program addressing professional practice gap is feasible and well-achieved, easing the translation of medical advancements from bench to bedside, thereby improving patient outcome.

description: Nonequilibrium processes occurring in functional materials can significantly impact device efficiencies and are often difficult to characterize due to the broad range of length and time scales involved. In particular, mixed halide hybrid perovskites are promising for optoelectronics, yet the halides reversibly phase separate when photo-excited, significantly altering device performance. By combining nanoscale imaging and multiscale modeling, we elucidate the mechanism underlying this phenomenon, demonstrating that local strain induced by photo-generated polarons promotes halide phase separation and leads to nucleation of light-stabilized iodide-rich clusters. This effect relies on the unique electromechanical properties of hybrid materials, characteristic of neither their organic nor inorganic constituents alone. Exploiting photo-induced phase separation and other nonequilibrium phenomena in hybrid materials, generally, could enable new opportunities for expanding the functional applications in sensing, photoswitching, optical memory, and energy storage.

description: We report a neutron spin-echo study of the critical dynamics in the $S=5/2$ antiferromagnets MnF$_2$ and Rb$_2$MnF$_4$ with three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) spin systems, respectively, in zero external field. Both compounds are Heisenberg antiferromagnets with a small uniaxial anisotropy resulting from dipolar spin-spin interactions, which leads to a crossover in the critical dynamics close to the Néel temperature, $T_N$. By taking advantage of the $μ\text{eV}$ energy resolution of the spin-echo spectrometer, we have determined the dynamical critical exponents $z$ for both longitudinal and transverse fluctuations. In MnF$_2$, both the characteristic temperature for crossover from 3D Heisenberg to 3D Ising behavior and the exponents $z$ in both regimes are consistent with predictions from the dynamical scaling theory. The amplitude ratio of longitudinal and transverse fluctuations also agrees with predictions. In Rb$_2$MnF$_4$, the critical dynamics crosses over from the expected 2D Heisenberg behavior for $T\gg T_N$ to a scaling regime with exponent $z = 1.387(4)$, which has not been predicted by theory and may indicate the influence of long-range dipolar interactions.

The Accessibility criteria, often thought to be the most straightforward of the principles, are focussed on whether data and metadata can be accessed electronically (as opposed to accessibility in terms of physical disability). However, this perception is predicated on the assumption that data and metadata is deposited in a trustworthy digital repository and access to the repository is of the same quality regardless of who accesses it. We present the findings of a pilot study that demonstrates that this implicit assumption is not necessarily a valid one. In particular this assumption may not hold when connectivity is poor (as occurs for researchers from Low and Middle Income Counties) or connectivity is blocked for specific users on the basis of the country that they reside in (referred to as geo-blocking). This paper presents the findings of a pilot study that clearly indicated that access to FAIR data resources is influenced by a range of geo-political factors. The paper will also outline what would be the next steps for the FAIR community to safeguard access to Open resources to researchers around the world.

description: Medienwissenschaften kommen als kritisch-theoretische oder soziologisch-empirische Untersuchung von Kommunikationstechnologie nicht umhin, mit natur-, geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Konzepten zu operieren. Welche Probleme solch disziplinäres Grenzgängertum mit sich bringen kann, zeigte die berüchtigte Sokal-Affäre, im Zuge derer der „elegante Unsinn“, der in der geisteswissenschaftlichen Postmoderne mit Rekursen auf Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften getrieben wird, ins kritische Scheinwerferlicht rückte. Wie und wann beziehen sich Medienwissenschaftler auf Naturwissenschaften und was bedeutet das für eine Disziplin, deren Curricula keinerlei mathematische Ausbildung vorsehen? Am Beispiel des Werkes Friedrich Kittlers diskutiert diese Arbeit, wie naturwissenschaftliche Rekurse in den Medienwissenschaften nicht nur wegen eines notwendig interdisziplinären Gegenstandes, sondern mit argumentativ-diskursiver Funktion, und damit zumindest potentiell missbräuchlich im Sinne Sokals, eingesetzt werden.

description: Depinning and nonequilibrium transitions within sliding states in systems driven over quenched disorder arise across a wide spectrum of size scales ranging from atomic friction at the nanoscale, flux motion in type-II superconductors at the mesoscale, colloidal motion in disordered media at the microscale, and plate tectonics at geological length scales. Here we show that active matter or self-propelled particles interacting with quenched disorder under an external drive represents a new class of system that can also exhibit pinning-depinning phenomena, plastic flow phases, and nonequilibrium sliding transitions that are correlated with distinct morphologies and velocity-force curve signatures. When interactions with the substrate are strong, a homogeneous pinned liquid phase forms that depins plastically into a uniform disordered phase and then dynamically transitions first into a moving stripe coexisting with a pinned liquid and then into a moving phase separated state at higher drives. We numerically map the resulting dynamical phase diagrams as a function of external drive, substrate interaction strength, and self-propulsion correlation length. These phases can be observed for active matter moving through random disorder. Our results indicate that intrinsically nonequilibrium systems can exhibit additional nonequilibrium transitions when subjected to an external drive.

The optimality of coarse categories in decision-making and information storage

description: An agent who lacks preferences and instead makes decisions using criteria that are costly to create should select efficient sets of criteria, where the cost of making a given number of choice distinctions is minimized. Under mild conditions, efficiency requires that binary criteria with only two categories per criterion are chosen. When applied to the problem of determining the optimal number of digits in an information storage device, this result implies that binary digits (bits) are the efficient solution, even when the marginal cost of using additional digits declines rapidly to 0. This short paper pays particular attention to the symmetry conditions entailed when sets of criteria are efficient.

Domain-specialised and domain-general neurocognitive substrates in language and music domains : contributions from ERP correlates of expectancy violations
Creators: name: Moodie, Joanna Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2021

description: This thesis contributes to the interdisciplinary debate about the extent of shared and separable neurocognitive mechanisms between language and music processing. To achieve this, ERP (event-related potential) correlates of expectancy violations for major processes in each domain were investigated. The results of Chapter 3 support the distinctness of ERP effects elicited by semantic, grammar and harmonic expectancy violations (a centroparietal N400, central P600 and frontal P300, respectively). These findings support the hypothesis that these processes rely on separable neurocognitive substrates. In Chapter 4, meter violations elicit an N1 effect in the music domain, but the evidence for an N1 effect in the language domain was inconclusive. There was a P2 effect in both language and music domains, providing novel support for the hypothesis that some substrates involved in meter processing are domain-general. Finally, in Chapter 5, meter violations were presented simultaneously with semantic, grammar and harmonic violations. All aforementioned ERP effects were replicated. Crucially, there were no interactions in any ERP effects, signalling that their associated processes rely on distinct substrates. Overall, this thesis provides valuable contributions to the literature, indicating that at least some neurocognitive substrates involved in semantic, grammar and harmony processing are domain-specialised, while those involved in meter processing could be domain-general.

description: This paper presents a large-scale strip adjustment method for LiDAR mobile mapping data, yielding highly precise maps. It uses several concepts to achieve scalability. First, an efficient graph-based pre-segmentation is used, which directly operates on LiDAR scan strip data, rather than on point clouds. Second, observation equations are obtained from a dense matching, which is formulated in terms of an estimation of a latent map. As a result of this formulation, the number of observation equations is not quadratic, but rather linear in the number of scan strips. Third, the dynamic Bayes network, which results from all observation and condition equations, is partitioned into two sub-networks. Consequently, the estimation matrices for all position and orientation corrections are linear instead of quadratic in the number of unknowns and can be solved very efficiently using an alternating least squares approach. It is shown how this approach can be mapped to a standard key/value MapReduce implementation, where each of the processing nodes operates independently on small chunks of data, leading to essentially linear scalability. Results are demonstrated for a dataset of one billion measured LiDAR points and 278,000 unknowns, leading to maps with a precision of a few millimeters.

Data strategy
EOSC
Impact analysis

description: We present the full cycle of setting up research infrastructures: from strategy to implementation, and how to systematically assess (new) infrastructures using impact analysis. The European Commission strives for a single market for research data. Within its Open Science policy there are two strategic pillars dealing with this objective: the European Open Science Cloud and the FAIR data principles. There have been multiple initiatives to realize a 'web of research data' and remove barriers, and we will focus on some salient projects from the Horizon program. Next, we will incorporate these actions into an Impact Analysis to assess the medium- and long-term impacts. This will cover the full policy cycle of setting up data services and provide a tool for policy makers, research infrastructures and research communities.
Forward and Inverse Modeling of the Emission and Transmission Spectrum of GJ 436b: Investigating Metal Enrichment, Tidal Heating, and Clouds

description: The Neptune-mass GJ 436b is one of the most-studied transiting exoplanets with repeated measurements of both its thermal emission and transmission spectra. We build on previous studies to answer outstanding questions about this planet, including its potentially high metallicity and tidal heating of its interior. We present new observations of GJ 436b's thermal emission at 3.6 and 4.5 micron, which reduce uncertainties in estimates of GJ 436b's flux at those wavelengths and demonstrate consistency between Spitzer observations spanning more than 7 years. We analyze the Spitzer thermal emission photometry and Hubble WFC3 transmission spectrum in tandem. We use a powerful dual-pronged modeling approach, comparing these data to both self-consistent and retrieval models. We vary the metallicity, intrinsic luminosity from tidal heating, disequilibrium chemistry, and heat redistribution. We also study the effect of clouds and photochemical hazes on the spectra, but do not find strong evidence for either. The self-consistent and retrieval modeling combine to suggest that GJ 436b has a high atmospheric metallicity, with best fits at or above several hundred times solar metallicity, tidal heating warming its interior with best-fit intrinsic effective effective temperatures around 300--350 K, and disequilibrium chemistry. High metal-enrichments (>600x solar) can only occur from the accretion of rocky, rather than icy, material. Assuming Tint~300--350 K, we find that Q'~2x10^5--10^6, larger than Neptune's Q', and implying a long tidal circularization timescale for the planet's orbit. We suggest that Neptune-mass planets may be a more diverse class than previously imagined, with metal-enhancements potentially spanning several orders of magnitude, to perhaps over 1000x solar metallicity. High fidelity observations with instruments like JWST will be critical for characterizing this diversity.
