Understanding Academics: A Ux Ethnographic Research Project At The University Of York
Creators: name: Blake, Michelle

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: In Spring 2016 the University of York launched a research project to better understand academic staff. Ambitiously titled ‘Understanding Academics’ the aims of the project were threefold: to gain a better understanding of how academics at York approach their research and teaching activities; to consider how Library services currently facilitate and support those activities; and to integrate the ‘academic voice’ into future service planning and development of support for academics, ensuring that the Library continues to engage departments in innovative ways that respond to both current and future needs.

The project centred around the use of specific ethnographic methodologies and in particular two UX techniques: cognitive mapping followed by semi-structured interviews carried out by Academic Liaison Librarians (ALLs).

Following the interviews, a five-stage methodology for managing and analysing the research data was developed. All interview data was coded using NVivo and a list of key themes was generated to help build a picture of academic life at York and articulate some of the opportunities and challenges facing academic staff. Themes were wide ranging from collaborations in academia, to accessing resources, research data management, use of social media and digital literacy skills. Results were analysed across faculties and set within the wider national and international context through close analysis of the professional literature including the Ithaka S+R Library Survey 2016.

Ultimately, the research has led to four key outcomes: a set of ‘quick wins’ whereby the Library was able to make immediate changes to services for academics; a set of longer-term practical recommendations which are currently being implemented; an evidence-based synthesis which seeks to define and explain academic life and understand the key motivations, frustrations and aspirations for academics; and an analysis of the key themes emerging from the interviews.

Emerging from the synthesis were three core questions around collections, space and digital literacies which have formed the focus of the development of the new Library Strategy (2018-2021).

A research article is due for publication later in 2018 which will cover the synthesis of academic life at York. It is therefore proposed that this paper will give an overview of the project with a focus on the themed analysis and the implications of these findings particularly to support digital humanities.

description: We investigate Scattering amplitudes of the reversible $θ$-exact Seiberg-Witten (SW) map based noncommutative (NC) quantum electrodynamics, and show explicitly the SW map invariance for all tree-level NCQED $2\to2$ proceses, including Möller, Bhabha, Compton, pair annihilation, pair production and light-by-light $(γγ\toγγ)$ scatterings. We apply our NCQED results to the $γγ\toγγ$ and $γγ\to\ell^+\ell^-$ exclusive processes, convoluted to the ultraperipheral lead $^{208}$Pb ion-ion collisions, recently measured by the ATLAS collaboration at LHC. We demonstrate that $γγ\toγγ$ is the more appropriate channel to probe NC scale $Λ_{\rm NC}$ while both are less efficient than some other probes.

description: In the big data era, graph computing is widely used to exploit the hidden value in real-world graphs in various scenarios such as social networks, knowledge graphs, web searching, and recommendation systems. However, the random memory accesses result in inefficient use of cache and the irregular degree distribution leads to substantial load imbalance. Breadth-First Search (BFS) is frequently utilized as a kernel for many important and complex graph algorithms. In this paper, we describe a preprocessing approach using Reverse Cuthill-Mckee (RCM) algorithm to improve data locality and demonstrate how to achieve an efficient load balancing for BFS. Computations on RCM-reordered graph data are also accelerated with SIMD executions. We evaluate the performance of the graph preprocessing approach on Kronecker graphs of the Graph500 benchmark and real-world graphs. Our BFS implementation on RCM-reordered graph data achieves 326.48 MTEPS/W (mega TEPS per watt) on an ARMv8 system, ranking 2nd on the Green Graph500 list in June 2020 (the 1st rank uses GPU acceleration).

description: Let $G$ and $H$ be disjoint embeddings of complete graphs $K_m$ and $K_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that some cycle in $G$ links a cycle in $H$ with non-zero linking number. We say that $G$ and $H$ are *weakly linked* if the absolute value of the linking number of any cycle in $G$ with a cycle in $H$ is $0$ or $1$. Our main result is an algebraic characterisation of when a pair of disjointly embedded complete graphs is weakly linked.
 As a step towards this result, we show that if $G$ and $H$ are weakly linked, then each contains either a vertex common to all triangles linking the other or a triangle which shares an edge with all triangles linking the other. All families of weakly linked pairs of complete graphs are then characterised by which of these two cases holds in each complete graph.

description: We show the existence of a $2$-parameter family of properly Alexandrov-embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature $0\leq H\leq\frac{1}{2}$ in ${\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}}$. They are symmetric with respect to a horizontal slice and a $k$ vertical planes disposed symmetrically, and extend the so called minimal saddle towers and $k$-noids. We show that the orientation plays a fundamental role when $H>0$ by analyzing their conjugate minimal surfaces in $\widetilde{\mathrm{SL}}_2(\mathbb{R})$ or $\mathrm{Nil}_3$. We also discover new complete examples that we call $(H,k)$-nodoids, whose $k$ ends are asymptotic to vertical cylinders over curves of geodesic curvature $2H$ from the convex side, often giving rise to non-embedded examples if $H>0$.
 In the discussion of embeddedness of the constructed examples, we prove that the Krust property does not hold for any $H>0$, i.e., there are minimal graphs over convex domains in $\widetilde{\mathrm{SL}}_2(\mathbb{R})$, $\mathrm{Nil}_3$ or the Berger spheres, whose conjugate surfaces with constant mean curvature $H$ in $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ are not graphs.

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we consider sequential dynamic team decision problems with nonclassical information structures. First, we address the problem from the point of view of a ``manager" who seeks to derive the optimal strategy of the team in a centralized process. We derive structural results that yield an information state for the team which does not depend on the control strategy, and thus it can lead to a dynamic programming decomposition where the optimization problem is over the space of the team's decisions. We, then, derive structural results for each team member that yield an information state which does not depend on their control strategy, and thus it can lead to a dynamic programming decomposition where the optimization problem for each team member is over the space of their decisions. Finally, we show that the solution of each team member is the same as the one derived by the manager. We present an illustrative example of a dynamic team with a delayed sharing information structure.

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.

description: This paper proposes a novel approach to construct data-driven online solutions to optimization problems (P) subject to a class of distributionally uncertain dynamical systems. The introduced framework allows for the simultaneous learning of distributional system uncertainty via a parameterized, control-dependent ambiguity set using a finite historical data set, and its use to make online decisions with probabilistic regret function bounds. Leveraging the merits of Machine Learning, the main technical approach relies on the theory of Distributional Robust Optimization (DRO), to hedge against uncertainty and provide less conservative results than standard Robust Optimization approaches. Starting from recent results that describe ambiguity sets via parameterized, and control-dependent empirical distributions as well as ambiguity radii, we first present a tractable reformulation of the corresponding optimization problem while maintaining the probabilistic guarantees. We then specialize these problems to the cases of 1) optimal one-stage control of distributionally uncertain nonlinear systems, and 2) resource allocation under distributional uncertainty. A novelty of this work is that it extends DRO to online optimization problems subject to a distributionally uncertain dynamical system constraint, handled via a control-dependent ambiguity set that leads to online-tractable optimization with probabilistic guarantees on regret bounds. Further, we introduce an online version of Nesterov's accelerated-gradient algorithm, and analyze its performance to solve this class of problems via dissipativity theory.

description: Main goal of this PRACE project was to evaluate how GPUs could speed up the DP code { a

linear response TDDFT code. Pro ling analysis of the code has been done to identify computational

bottlenecks to be delegated to the GPU. In order to speed up this code using GPUs, two di erent

strategies have been developed: a local one and a global one. Both strategies have been implemented

with cuBLAS and/or CUDA C. Results showed that one can reasonably expect about 10 times speedup

on the total execution time, depending on the structure of the input and the size of datasets used,

and speedups up to 16 have been observed for some cases.

subject: Data Management/ethics

description: Data management is a vital component of all research, including within the biosciences. Equity, diversity, inclusion, justice (EDIJ) and decolonisation are important concepts which need to be considered and implemented across all fields, including within data management in the biosciences, but their consideration is often overlooked by researchers when designing research protocols and data management plans.

Here, we present a primer giving an overview of these concepts and why they should be considered when creating a data management strategy, including how this can improve not just individual experiences within research as staff and participants but also the quality of research outcomes generated. We have detailed the factors necessary to implement these concepts within each stage of the data cycle and have then provided three case studies showing how these concepts can be applied in data management in ecological, disability and neglected disease research.

Overall, this article summarises key considerations in EDIJ and decolonisation, giving a starting point and a list of relevant further reading for researchers within the biosciences to incorporate EDIJ and decolonisation within their data management practices going forward.

description: With the advent of podded propulsors finding applications in vessels destined to operate in ice conditions, a need to better understand how these propulsion devices interact with the ice has been recognized. Subsequently, testing has been conducted at IOT on a characteristic model of Azimuthing Podded Propulsors in order that a method of predicting the loads these devices experience, in ice conditions, may be developed. The following report briefly outlines the model Azimuthing Podded Propulsor, the method and extent of testing and some preliminary results for the Global system from testing the unit in pre-sawn level ice, pack ice and open water. The tests were conducted in Tractor and Pusher modes for ice thickness of 60 and 80 mm, depths of cut of 15 and 30 mm, and for a full range of azimuth angles. Preliminary results indicate the mode of propulsion is fundamental in determining the magnitude of Global loads, with Tractor mode providing reduced Global loads. This mode also produces increased thrust and torque developed when compared to the Pusher mode. These results are based on mean loads and further analysis based on maximum loads, and the loads experienced by the propeller shaft and blades will result in a complete analysis on which to base a computational model.

description: Identifying phases of matter presents considerable challenges, particularly within the domain of quantum theory, where the complexity of ground states appears to increase exponentially with system size. Quantum many-body systems exhibit an array of complex entanglement structures spanning distinct phases. Although extensive research has explored the relationship between quantum phase transitions and quantum entanglement, establishing a direct, pragmatic connection between them remains a critical challenge. In this work, we present a novel and efficient quantum phase transition classifier, utilizing disentanglement with reinforcement learning-optimized variational quantum circuits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method on quantum phase transitions in the transverse field Ising model (TFIM) and the XXZ model. Moreover, we observe the algorithm's ability to learn the Kramers-Wannier duality pertaining to entanglement structures in the TFIM. Our approach not only identifies phase transitions based on the performance of the disentangling circuits but also exhibits impressive scalability, facilitating its application in larger and more complex quantum systems. This study sheds light on the characterization of quantum phases through the entanglement structures inherent in quantum many-body systems.

description: We study a doped transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayer in an optical microcavity. Using the microscopic theory, we simulate spectra of quasiparticles emerging due to the interaction of material excitations and a high-finesse optical mode, providing a comprehensive analysis of optical spectra as a function of Fermi energy and predicting several modes in the strong light-matter coupling regime. In addition to exciton-polaritons and trion-polaritons, we report polaritonic modes that become bright due to the interaction of excitons with free carriers. At large doping, we reveal strongly coupled modes corresponding to excited trions that hybridize with a cavity mode. We also demonstrate that rising the carrier concentration enables to change the nature of the system's ground state from the dark to the bright one. Our results offer a unified description of polaritonic modes in a wide range of free electron densities.

Storytelling

description: One of the best known but still not really solved problems in Research Infrastructures (RI) is how to understand and meet the needs and requirements of its users. At the national and European level, the most common method is to invite individual researchers into boards of RI consortia. However, this method seems to be insufficient for communities with a wide range of heterogeneous sub-disciplines. Collecting user stories serves as an additional method to align planned services in RI with the researchers’ needs, i.e. making sure that existing tools and services match the users’ expectations. We take a look at the different kinds of user stories in several scientific communities and the ability of the Humanities to listen and analyse stories in a mixture of qualitative, hermeneutic and quantitative methods.

Lastly, we recall how to obtain the tractor bundle from conformal structures, and then show that we can define a projective tractor bundle using the same kind of construction.

description: Most of the studies on pressure fluctuations in wall-bounded turbulent flows aim at obtaining statistics as power spectra and scaling laws, especially at the walls. In the present study we study energetic coherent pressure structures of turbulent channel flows, aiming at a characterization of dominant coherent structures throughout the channel. Coherent structures are detected using spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) and modeled using resolvent analysis, similar to related works dealing with velocity fluctuations, but using pressure fluctuations as the output of interest. The resolvent operator was considered with and without the Cess eddy viscosity model. Direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of incompressible turbulent channel flows at friction Reynolds numbers of approximately 180 and 550 were employed as databases. Three representative dominant structures emerged from a preliminary spectral analysis: near-wall, large-scale and spanwise-coherent structures. For frequency-wavenumber combinations corresponding to these three representative structures, SPOD results show a strong dominance of the leading mode, highlighting low-rank behavior of pressure fluctuations. The leading resolvent mode closely agrees with the first SPOD mode, providing support to studies that showed better performance of resolvent-based estimators when predicting pressure fluctuations compared to velocity fluctuations. The dominant mechanisms of the analyzed modes are seen to be the generation of quasi-streamwise vortices with pressure fluctuations appearing close to vortex centers. A study on the individual contributions of the nonlinear terms (treated as forcing in resolvent analysis) to the pressure output reveals that each forcing component plays a constructive role to the input-output formulation, which also helps understanding the weaker role of forcing color in driving pressure fluctuations.

description: As a result of the increased emphasis on mis- and over-use of $p$-values in scientific research and the rise in popularity of Bayesian statistics, Bayesian education is becoming more important at the undergraduate level. With the advances in computing tools, Bayesian statistics is also becoming more accessible for the undergraduates. This study focuses on analyzing Bayesian courses for the undergraduates. We explored whether an undergraduate Bayesian course is offered in our sample of 152 high-ranking research universities and liberal arts colleges. For each identified Bayesian course, we examined how it fits into the institution's undergraduate curricula, such as majors and prerequisites. Through a series of course syllabi analyses, we explored the topics covered and their popularity in these courses, and the adopted teaching and learning tools, such as software. This paper presents our findings on the current practices of teaching full Bayesian courses at the undergraduate level. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations for programs that may consider offering Bayesian courses to their students.

description: This study investigates the impact of trade credit on the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission, addressing the empirical observation that trade credit tends to mitigate the effects of central bank actions. To elucidate this phenomenon, we develop a partial equilibrium model that incorporates third-degree price discrimination and menu costs. Our primary finding reveals that optimizing credit terms and product prices yields minimal net present value (NPV) gains compared to the minute menu costs associated with short-term interest rate adjustments during low-inflation periods. Consequently, credit terms and product prices remain relatively stable over time, in alignment with empirical evidence presented by Ng, Smith, Smith (1999), and Mateut (2005). Furthermore, our model provides insights into the Meltzer (1960) hypothesis, suggesting that trade credit experiences less volatility than bank credit in the context of monetary policy transmission. This implies that firms strategically set trade credit terms to maximize NPV while considering menu costs, thereby rationalizing certain credit channel-related empirical phenomena. The paper also explores parallels between trade credit dynamics and exchange rate pass-throughs, shedding light on the effectiveness of monetary easing during a pandemic. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between trade credit and monetary policy, with potential implications for policy design and implementation.

description: When numerical solution of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations is required to be highly accurate in space, the discrete problem usually takes the form of large-scale and sparse linear systems. In this work, as an alternative, for spatial discretization we provide a Matrix-Oriented formulation of the classical Finite Element Method, called MO-FEM, of arbitrary order $k\in\mathbb{N}$. On structured 2D domains (e.g. squares or rectangles) the discrete problem is then reformulated as a Sylvester matrix equation, that we solve by the reduced approach in the associated spectral space. On a quite general class of domains, namely normal domains, and even on special surfaces, the MO-FEM yields a multiterm Sylvester matrix equation where the additional terms account for the geometric contribution of the domain shape. In particular, we obtain a sequence of these equations after time discretization of parabolic problems by the IMEX Euler method. We apply the matrix-oriented form of the Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (MO-PCG) method to solve each multiterm Sylvester equation for MO-FEM of degree $k=1,\dots,4$ and for the lumped $\mathbb{P}_1$ case. We choose a matrix-oriented preconditioner with a single-term form that captures the spectral properties of the whole multiterm Sylvester operator. For several numerical examples, we show a gain in computational time and memory occupation wrt the classical vector approach solving large sparse linear systems by a direct method or by the vector PCG with same preconditioning. As an application, we show the advantages of the MO-FEM-PCG to approximate Turing patterns with high spatial resolution in a reaction-diffusion PDE system for battery modeling.

description: With the increased interest in arctic shipping the number of vessels navigating in the arctic or being constructed with capabilities do so, is rapidly increasing. Thus this report outlines some of the results obtained during the first phase of testing here at the Institute for Ocean Technology (IOT) involving podded propellers in ice, and also details some of the preparation that has been completed for the second phase of testing. The analysis presented includes systematically determining at what instances and relative positions the apparatus experiences its maximum loading. The analysis shows that the maximum and minimum forces on the apparatus occur as one of the propeller blades is entering or exiting the ice respectively. Also, this report outlines the work that has been completed in preparation for the second phase of testing. This includes conducting a temperature sensitivity analysis for the AMTI six component load cells that were used on the forward and aft bearings and the set up for the global dynamometer calibration.

description: The New Zealand National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 sets several targets for freshwater quality, six of which are measurements of rivers; others relate to lakes. Each regional council is required to monitor freshwater quality and to respond as prescribed in order to meet the targets. One target of particular public interest is based on four criteria determined from recent E. coli readings, and concerns the health risk of swimming in a river. However, the inherent variability of the data makes it difficult to determine the water quality state and trend reliably, particularly using traditional methods based on percentiles. Therefore, in this study we return to the parametric lognormal model of E. coli distribution, from which the official criteria were developed. We interpret the classification system in terms of the parametric model and show that the parametric model can reduce uncertainty and can incorporate more useful information, especially from very high E. coli readings, and is suitable for censored data. We apply the parametric model for state and trend to 135 sites in the Manawatū-Whanganui region.

description: Despite rapid growth in the data science workforce, people of color, women, those with disabilities, and others remain underrepresented in, underserved by, and sometimes excluded from the field. This pattern prevents equal opportunity for individuals, while also creating products and policies that perpetuate inequality. Thus, for statistics and data science educators of the next generation, accessibility and inclusion should be of utmost importance in our programs and courses. In this paper, we discuss how we developed an accessibility and inclusion framework, hence a structure for holding ourselves accountable to these principles, for the writing of a statistics textbook. We share our experiences in setting accessibility and inclusion goals, the tools we used to achieve these goals, and recommendations for other educators. We provide examples for instructors that can be implemented in their own courses.

description: In this article, we study the existence of tautological families on a Zariski open set of the coarse moduli space parametrizing certain Galois covers over projective spaces. More specifically, let ($1$) $\mathscr{H}_{n.r.d}$ (resp. $M_{n,r,d}$) be the stack (resp. coarse moduli) parametrizing smooth simple cyclic covers of degree $r$ over the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ branched along a divisor of degree $rd \geq 4$, and ($2$) $\mathscr{H}_{1,3,d_1,d_2}$ (resp. $M_{1,3,d_1,d_2}$) be the stack (resp. coarse moduli) of smooth cyclic triple covers over $\mathbb{P}^1$ with $2d_1-d_2 \geq 4$ and $2d_2-d_1 \geq 4$. In the former case, we show that such a family exists if and only if $\textrm{gcd}(rd, n+1) \mid d$ while in the latter case, we show that it always exists. We further show that even when such a family exists, often it cannot be extended to the open locus of objects without extra automorphisms. The existence of tautological families on a Zariski open set of its coarse moduli can be interpreted in terms of rationality of the stack if the coarse moduli space is rational. Combining our results with known results on the rationality of the coarse moduli of points on $\mathbb{P}^1$ and the coarse moduli of plane curves, we determine the rationality of $\mathscr{H}_{1,r,d}$ (resp. $\mathscr{H}_{2,r,d}$) for $rd \geq 4$ (resp. $rd\geq 49$). On the other hand $\mathscr{H}_{1,3,d_{1},d_{2}}$ is unirational, and we show that its coarse moduli $M_{1,3,d_1,d_2}$ is unirational and fibred over a rational base by homogeneous varieties which are rational if $\textrm{char}(\mathbb{k}) = 0$. Our study is motivated by the work of Gorchinskiy and Viviani on the moduli of hyperelliptic curves.
