description: In this text, we shall give an outline of some recent results (see \ccite{bahourichemin2} \ccite{bahourichemin3} and \ccite{bahourichemin4}) of local wellposedness for two types of quasilinear wave equations for initial data less regular than what is required by the energy method. To go below the regularity prescribed by the classical theory of strictly hyperbolic equations, we have to use the particular properties of the wave equation. The result concerning the first kind of equations must be understood as a Strichartz estimate for wave operators whose coefficients are only Lipschitz while the result concerning the second type of equations is reduced to the proof of a bilinear estimate for the product of two solutions for wave operators whose coefficients are not very regular. The purpose of this talk is to emphasise the importance of ideas coming from microlocal analysis to prove such results.
Memories of Dostoevsky in Australia

description: The International Dostoevsky Society – the most important Dostoevsky scholarly platform came into being as an idea at the University of Melbourne, at the time Slobodanka Vladiv-Glover entered postgraduate studies in Russian Literature. Her own mentor, Dr Dmitry Vladimirovich Grishin, turned out to be the prime mover of this international forum. That Dr Grishin had reached Australia after World War Two as a refugee was a well-known fact among his students but as young people, they were hardly aware of the significance of his arrival. Vladiv-Glover's memories are followed by an Appendix including previously unplished photos and materials about Dr Grishin, herself and the history of the IDS Keywords: IDS (International Dostoevsky Society) History, Dostoevsky Studies 1971-2021, Dostoevsky in Australia, Dmitry Grishin

Aquellos que mostraron mayor adaptacion a las condiciones locales fueron incluidos en un programa de crusamientos en el que se utilizo como método de mejora el de Descendencia de una sola semilla (modificado) ; como resultado del programa se libera una nueva variedad de tomate, "L-72", adaptada al verano tropical, proveniente del cruzamiento de la variedades "Summertime" χ "Campbell 28", de crecimiento determinado y peso promedio del fruto de 80 g. En los ensayos de compartamiento en cultivo de verano efectuados en Cuba arrojo una fructificacion del 63 % y rendimiento promedio de 2,0 kg/planta, mientras que el testigo local "Campbell 28" solo llego al 21 % de fructificacion con un rendimiento de 0,5 kg/planta. Actualmente "L-72" se encuentra generalizada en la produccion de este pais. ----- En 1976 fut lancé un Programme de Coopération entre la Station d'Amélioration des Plantes du Centre INRA Antilles Guyane et la Station Expérimentale Horticole «Liliane Dimitrova» dû Ministère de l'Agriculture de CUBA au sujet de l'amélioration génétique de la tomate. Il s'agissait de créer des variétés tolérantes aux hautes températures en introduisant et en utilisant des géniteurs originaires de régions tropicales. Ceux qui manifestèrent la meilleure adaptation aux conditions locales furent introduites dans un programme de croisement de type SSD modifié. En fin de programme nous avons obtenu une nouvelle variété de tomate «L-72» adaptée à l'été tropical, elle est issue d'un croisement entre les variétés «Summertinme» et «Campbell 28». C'est une variété à port déterminé, le poids moyen du fruit est de 80 grammes. A CUBA en été en parcelles expérimentales, on a observé une nouaison de 66 % et une production moyenne par plante de 2,0 kg avec la variété «L-72» tandis que le témoin local «Campbell 28» n'avait que 21 % de nouaison et une production moyenne par plante de 0,5 kg. Actuellement «L-72» est très largement cultivée à CUBA.
Compact space and infrared behavior of the effective QCD

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We aim to investigate the infrared regime in the effective theory of the new quadratic gauge in the physical compact space by defining it on 4-sphere. Abelian dominance is characterized by off-diagonal gluons acquiring dynamical masses and it hints at existence of confinement. We do observe Abelian dominance in the ghost condensed vacuum of this theory on 4-sphere. Along with this observation, we find an unusual result that mass of an off-diagonal gluon on 4-sphere is position dependent in this theory as a consequence of the curved geometry. This suggests that the curvature of 4-sphere does not change the infrared behaviour of present theory on 4-sphere from that of the theory with the same quadratic gauge in Euclidean spacetime as Abelian dominance is observed in Euclidean spacetime too while it has caused mass of an off-diagonal gluon on 4-sphere to be position dependent. The effective action in the confined phase on 4-sphere and that in the 4-dim Euclidean space are found to be identical in a profound outcome.

The discussion is illustrated with the paradigmatic example of the non-relativistic harmonic oscillator with radiation reaction. We also illustrate removal of the noncasual pre-acceleration with the introduction of a small correction in the Lorentz-Dirac equation.

title: Mathematical modelling of tumour-immune competition tumour growth : discrete and continuum approaches
Creators: name: Macfarlane, Fiona Ruth
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: The ability of the human immune system to detect and remove cancer cells is exploited in the development of immunotherapy techniques. However, further understanding of these mechanisms is required and can be achieved through the use of mathematical models. In this thesis, we develop a simple individual-based model of cell movement and illustrate the ability of our model to qualitatively reproduce the migration patterns of immune cells that have been observed in single cell tracking experiments. We then extend the model to describe the spatio-temporal interactions between dendritic cells, cytotoxic T cells and a solid tumour. Through further extension of the model, we explicitly consider the immune recognition of evolving tumour antigens. Computational simulations of our models further clarify the conditions for the onset of a successful immune action against cancer cells and may suggest possible targets to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy. Mathematically, individual-based models can be limited in their amenability to different analysis techniques which are better suited to continuum models. To overcome this, we aim to derive the continuum version of our described individual-based models. However, due to the complexity of the biological mechanisms included, we first consider a simpler biological situation. We develop an individual-based model describing the spatial dynamics of multicellular systems whereby cells undergo pressure-driven movement and pressure-dependent proliferation. From this, we formally derive nonlinear partial differential equations that are commonly used to model the spatial dynamics of growing cell populations. Through systematic comparison of both models, we demonstrate that the results of computational simulations of the individual-based model faithfully mirror the qualitative and quantitative properties of the solutions to the corresponding partial differential equations. This method could be adapted to more complex individual-based models, such as those we describe in this work.

Year: 2011

description: This thesis looks at the connection between female adolescent protagonists and their respective landscapes in the children's verse novels Out of the Dust and Aleutian Sparrow, both by Karen Hesse, and Ann and Seamus by Kevin Major. In each of these texts the protagonists must choose between life at home and a new life elsewhere. Drawing on ecofeminist philosophy, specifically the works of Ynestra King, Carolyn Merchant, Annette Kolodny and Judith Plant, this thesis explores the factors that led to all three protagonists choosing to stay or return home.

description: Human facial reactions play crucial roles in dyadic human-human interactions, where individuals (i.e., listeners) with varying cognitive process styles may display different but appropriate facial reactions in response to an identical behaviour expressed by their conversational partners. While several existing facial reaction generation approaches are capable of generating multiple appropriate facial reactions (AFRs) in response to each given human behaviour, they fail to take human's personalised cognitive process in AFRs generation. In this paper, we propose the first online personalised multiple appropriate facial reaction generation (MAFRG) approach which learns a unique personalised cognitive style from the target human listener's previous facial behaviours and represents it as a set of network weight shifts. These personalised weight shifts are then applied to edit the weights of a pre-trained generic MAFRG model, allowing the obtained personalised model to naturally mimic the target human listener's cognitive process in its reasoning for multiple AFRs generations. Experimental results show that our approach not only largely outperformed all existing approaches in generating more appropriate and diverse generic AFRs, but also serves as the first reliable personalised MAFRG solution.

description: We present a Chandra and HST study of IC 10 X-1, the most luminous X-ray binary in the closest starburst galaxy to the Milky Way. Our new hard X-ray observation of X-1 confirms that it has an average 0.5-10 keV luminosity of 1.5e38 erg/s, is strongly variable (a factor of ~2 in >3 ks), and is spatially coincident (within 0.'23 +/-0.'30) with the Wolf-Rayet (WR) star [MAC92] 17A in IC 10. The spectrum of X-1 is best fit by a power law with photon index of ~1.8 and a thermal plasma with kT~1.5 keV, although systematic residuals hint at further complexity. Taken together, these facts suggest that X-1 may be a black hole belonging to the rare class of WR binaries; it is comparable in many ways to Cyg X-3. The Chandra observation also finds evidence for extended X-ray emission co-spatial with the large non-thermal radio superbubble surrounding X-1.

description: Negative, or latent, dimensions have always attracted a strong interest since their discovery. When randomness is introduced in multifractals, the sample-to-sample fluctuations of multifractal spectra emerge inevitably, which has motivated various studies in this field. In this work, we study a class of multinomial measures and argue the asymptotic behaviors of the multifractal function as . The so-called latent dimensions condition (LDC) is presented which states that latent dimensions may be absent in discrete random multinomial measures. In order to clarify the discovery, several examples are illustrated.

description: We discuss the analytic structure of off-shell correlation functions in Little String Theories (LSTs) using their description as asymptotically linear dilaton backgrounds of string theory. We focus on specific points in the LST moduli space where this description involves the spacetime (R^{d-1,1} times SL(2)/U(1) times a compact CFT), though we expect our qualitative results to be much more general. We show that n-point functions of vertex operators O(p) have single poles as a function of the d-dimensional momentum p, which correspond to normalizable states localized near the tip of the SL(2)/U(1) cigar. Additional poles arise due to the non-trivial dynamics in the bulk of the cigar, and these can lead to a type of UV/IR mixing. Our results explain some previously puzzling features of the low energy behavior of the Green functions. As another application, we compute the precise combinations of single-trace and multi-trace operators in the low-energy gauge theory which map to single string vertex operators in the N=(1,1) supersymmetric d=6 LST. We also discuss the implications of our results for two dimensional string theories and for the (non-existence of a) Hagedorn phase transition in LSTs.

title: IL-1R8: A Novel Checkpoint Regulating Anti-Tumor And Anti-Viral Activity Of NK Cells
Creators: name: Molgora, Martina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: IL-1R8 is an Interleukin-1 receptor family member that acts as a negative regulator of IL-1 family receptor and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. Both murine and human NK cells express high levels of IL-1R8 but its functional role in this cell type has not been described so far. Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid-derived cells and are able to recognize damaged, stressed, viral infected or tumor cells, which express ligands interacting with activating NK cell receptors. The expression of IL1R8 in NK cells prompted us to analyze its potential role in controlling NK cell effector functions.

Expression analysis showed that IL-1R8 was acquired during differentiation in human and murine NK cells. IL-1R8 deficiency in the mouse was associated with higher frequency and absolute number of mature NK cells in blood, spleen, bone marrow and liver. Moreover, IL-1R8 deficient NK cells display an increased Interferonγ (IFNγ), Granzyme B and Fas ligand expression and degranulation. IL-18, which is a key regulator of NK cell activities and can be targeted by IL-1R8, was responsible for this phenotype. Indeed, IL-1R8 regulated IL-18 axis during NK cell differentiation and activation and IL-18-dependent activation of mTOR and JNK pathways increased in IL-1R8-deficient NK cells.

To assess the role of IL-1R8 in NK cells in pathology, we used models of 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced lung metastasis, colon cancer-derived liver metastasis and diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma. The number and dimension of liver and lung metastasis and the liver disease severity were significantly reduced in Il1r8-/- mice. The depletion of NK cells in these models totally abrogated the protection observed in Il1r8-/- mice. Finally, we investigated the role of IL-1R8 in NK cell antiviral activity, in a model of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. Il1r8-/- mice showed an improved virus control in the liver and the protection was associated with enhanced NK cell degranulation and IFNγ production. The adoptive transfer of Il1r8-/- NK cells conferred protection in both metastasis and viral infection models.

Collectively, these results showed that IL-1R8 played a non-redundant role in the regulation of NK cell development and effector functions by tuning IL-18-dependent activities. IL-1R8 therefore emerges as a novel checkpoint molecule modulating NK cell antitumoral and antiviral potential. Preclinical models showed that the inactivation of IL-1R8 unleashed NK cell effector functions, unveiling IL-1R8 as a potential immunotherapy target in the context of cancer and viral infections.

Florida Sweet self pollen is being shed after the peak stigmatic receptivity which occurs shortly after flower opening. In all cultivars, pollen germinability was highest early in the morning. The pollen load found on stigmas was generally low (<10 grains). The presence of incomptability barriers was investigated by comparing fruit yields from open pollination, with those obtained from self and cross pollination. Some self and cross incompatibility was found amongst the five cuitivars. The primary cause of low fruit set in this planting appears to bo the lack of an efficient pollination vector which is compounded by the presence of incompatibility. ----- Les causes d'un faible taux de fructification dans une plantation de la Barbade à mélange de cultivars du cerisier (Malpighia punicifolia ) a été étudié. La viabilité du pollen a été évaluée par germination in vitro et colorabilité. Le maximum de germination varie, allant de 3,4 à 73 % selon le cultivar. La corrélation est faible entre germination et colorabilité, celle-ci tend à une surestimation. Toutes les floraisons d'un jour ont lieu avant 6 heures. La déhiscence de Florida Sweet ne commence que tard l'aprèsmidi, alors qu'à 8 h elle est commencée chez les autres. Ainsi l'auto-pollen de Florida Sweet n'est dispersé qu'après son pic de réceptivité stigmatique lequel suit rapidement l'anthèse. Chez tous les cultivars la germination est maximale tôt le matin. Il y avait peu de pollen généralement sur les stigmates (<10 grains). La présence de barrières d'incompatibilité a été étudiée en comparant la fructification en pollinisation ouverte et en auto et allopollinisation contrôlées. Quelques auto et alio incompatibilités ont été trouvées. La première cause de faible fructification dans cette plantation semble être l'absence de vecteur de pollinisation efficace renforcée par la présence d'incompatibilité.

description: Le charbon végétal actif est souvent utilisé pour diminuer la phytotoxicité des excrétions des plantes en tube. Des microboutures de deux clones de D. alata et de quatre clones de D. cayenensis sont cultivées sur des milieux différents par leur concentration en charbon végétal actif comprise entre 1 g et 20 g/l. L'effet du charbon est positif dès la concentration 1g/l pour le nombre de feuilles produites et pour l'enracinement. Sur :e milieu sans charbon, l'enracinement est faible mais le bourgeonnement est multiple. Les interactions spécifiques et variétales sont discutées. ----- Charcoal is often used to control the phytotoxicity of plant excretions in tube. Node cuttings of two clones of D. alata and four clones of D. cayenensis are grown on media which differ by the charcoal concentrations from 1 g to 20 g/l. The effect of charcoal is effective as from 1 g/l : both for the rooting and the number of leaves. On the medium without charcoal the rooting is low but multiple shoots are observed. Specific and varietal interactions are discussed.

description: In this paper, we tentatively assign the $P_{c}(4312)$ to be a $\bar{D}Σ_{c}$ molecular state with quantum number $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$, and calculate its magnetic moment using the QCD sum rule method in external weak electromagnetic field. Starting with the two-point correlation function in external electromagnetic field and expanding it in power of the electromagnetic interaction Hamiltonian, we extract the magnetic moment from the linear response to the external electromagnetic field. The numerical value of the magnetic moment of $P_{c}(4312)$ is $μ_{P_{c}}=1.75^{+0.15}_{-0.11}$.

description: The 2019-Novel-Coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected 116 countries (By March 12) and out of more than 118,000 confirmed cases. Understanding the transmission dynamics of the infection in each country which affected on a daily basis and evaluating the effectiveness of control policies is critical for our further actions. To date, the statistics of COVID-19 reported cases show more than 80 percent of infected had a mild case of disease, while around 14 percent of infected experienced a severe one and about 5 percent are categorized as critical disease victims. Today's report (2020-03-12; daily updates in the prepared website) shows the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in China, South Korea, Italy, and Iran are 80932, 7869, 12462 and 10075; respectively. Calculating the total Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of Italy (2020-03-04), about 7.9% of confirmed cases passed away. Compared to South Korea's rate of 0.76% (10 times lower than Italy) and China's 3.8% (50% lower than Italy), the CFR of Italy is too high. There are some effective policies that yield significant changes in the trend of cases. The lockdown policy in China and Italy (the effect observed after 11 days), Shutdown of all nonessential companies in Hubei (the effect observed after 5 days), combined policy in South Korea and reducing working hours in Iran.

description: Recent studies of the substellar population in the Taurus cloud have revealed a deficit of brown dwarfs (BD) compared to the Trapezium cluster population (Briceno et al 1998; Luhman 2000; Luhman et al 2003a; Luhman 2004). However, these works have concentrated on the highest stellar density regions of the Taurus cloud. We have performed a large scale optical survey of this region, covering a total area of 30 deg^2, and encompassing the densest part of the cloud as well as their surroundings, down to a mass detection limits of 15 Jupiter Masses (MJ). In this paper, we present the optical spectroscopic follow-up observations of 97 photometrically selected potential new low-mass Taurus members, of which 27 are strong late-M (SpT < M4V) candidates. These observations reveal 5 new very low mass (VLM) Taurus members and 12 new BDs. Combining our observations with previously published results, we derive an updated substellar to stellar ratio in Taurus of Rss =0.23 +/- 0.05. This ratio now appears consistent with the value previously derived in the Trapezium cluster under similar assumptions of 0.26 +/- 0.04. We find strong indication that the relative numbers of BDs with respect to stars is decreased by a factor 2 in the central regions of the aggregates with respect to the more distributed population. Our findings are best explained in the context of the embryo-ejection model where brown dwarfs originate from dynamical interactions in small N unstable multiple systems.

title: Unruly School Spaces: An Ethnographic Exploration of Year 8 Students Experiences Of Space, Gender and Well-Being in a South Wales Secondary School
Creators: name: Tetlow, Sion
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis explores the ways in which one Year Eight class in a South Wales secondary school experiences space, gender and well-being in their daily school lives. Using space as a conceptual tool, the thesis uses qualitative and ethnographic methods to explore the ways in which children in Valley School may be involved in ongoing and iterative spatial negotiations within the course of the school day. It looks at the specific school spaces that these children occupy in the school, during different times of the day, and looks at the ways in which these spatial negotiations inform their gendered subjectivities and their sense of well-being in the school. The thesis draws on Doreen Massey’s theorisations of space, as well as feminist ethnographic and qualitative research literature to help formulate understandings of the children’s experiences of space, the importance of space in childhood, and the ways in which experiences of space and gender may be entangled, particularly in the school environment. Using this literature and the data corpus, I developed two descriptive, analytic concepts with which to thematically analyse the data generated for this thesis – the idea that the children are involved in ‘nomadic negotiations of space’ and the sense that these negotiations play out in an unruly atmosphere, which is specific and particular to Valley School. I also draw links between the macro educational policy landscape of South Wales, institutional pressures in Valley School and the micro everyday spatial and gendered practices of the children who study in Valley School. I aim to reframe the experiences of children living in a deprived area of South Wales, with significant socio-economic disadvantage, by using space as a conceptual lens through which to view their social practices, and I hope to inform educational research, policy and practice in Wales with these findings.

description: In this paper, we analyze the inflationary cosmology using string field theory. This is done by using the zero level contribution from string field theory, which is a non-local tachyonic action. We will use the non-local Friedmann equations for this model based on string field theory, and calculate the slow-roll parameters for this model. We will then explicitly obtain the scalar and tensorial power spectrum, their related indices, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio for this model. Finally, we use cosmological data from Planck 2013 to 2018 to constrain the free parameters in this model and find that string field theory is compatible with them.

description: Le manioc (Manihot Esculenta ), sous forme de farine ou de ses dérivés (cassave, farine coco) est un aliment traditionnel Guadeloupéen. La farine est fabriquée encore de nos jours de manière artisanale, vendue sur les marchés et depuis peu dans quelques grandes surfaces. A notre connaissance, il n'existe pas de données analytiques même très générales sur ce produit. Nous avons entrepris un travail de recherche en vue de préciser sa composition. Dans un premier temps nous avons déterminé les teneurs en glucides, en pre :;des, en sels minéraux et en fibres. Deux produits sont analysés, l'un fabriqué à Capesterre Belle-Eau, l'autre acheté au marché de Pointe-à-Pitre, lieu de vente des produits de l'île de Marie-Galante. Les premiers résultats indiquent que la farine de la Guadeloupe est riche en amidon (80%), en fibre (5%) et en protide (1,5%). ----- Cassava (Manihot Esculenta}, processed as Cassava flour and derivatives (bamise, mixed cassava and coconutflour) is a traditional food in Guadeloupe. Nowadays, Cassava flour is still a small-scale production and sold in the market and since recently in the supermarkets. As far as we know, no analytical and general data are available about that food. So work was undertaken to determine its chemical composition. In a first study, carbohydrate, protein, mineral and dietary fiber contents were assessed. Two products originated from Capesterre Belle-Eau, and from Marie-Galante (bougth in the tocai rna-kst of Pointe-à-Pitre) were analyzed. The results showed that Cassava flour was rich in starch (80%), in dietary fiber (5%) and in proteins.

description: Using numerical techniques, we study the collapse of a scalar field configuration in the Newtonian limit of the spherically symmetric Einstein--Klein--Gordon (EKG) system, which results in the so called Schrödinger--Newton (SN) set of equations. We present the numerical code developed to evolve the SN system and topics related, like equilibrium configurations and boundary conditions. Also, we analyze the evolution of different initial configurations and the physical quantities associated to them. In particular, we readdress the issue of the gravitational cooling mechanism for Newtonian systems and find that all systems settle down onto a 0--node equilibrium configuration.
