Resolving semantic conflicts through ontological layering
Creators: name: Kataria, Pavandeep
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2011

description: We examine the problem of semantic interoperability in modern software systems, which exhibit pervasiveness, a range of heterogeneities and in particular, semantic heterogeneity of data models which are built upon ubiquitous data repositories. We investigate whether we can build ontologies upon heterogeneous data repositories in order to resolve semantic conflicts in them, and achieve their semantic interoperability. We propose a layered software architecture, which accommodates in its core, ontological layering, resulting in a Generic ontology for Context aware, Interoperable and Data sharing (Go-CID) software applications. The software architecture supports retrievals from various data repositories and resolves semantic conflicts which arise from heterogeneities inherent in them. It allows extendibility of heterogeneous data repositories through ontological layering, whilst preserving the autonomy of their individual elements. Our specific ontological layering for interoperable data repositories is based on clearly defined reasoning mechanisms in order to perform ontology mappings. The reasoning mechanisms depend on the user‟s involvments in retrievals of and types of semantic conflicts, which we have to resolve after identifying semantically related data. Ontologies are described in terms of ontological concepts and their semantic roles that make the types of semantic conflicts explicit. We contextualise semantically related data through our own categorisation of semantic conflicts and their degrees of similarities. Our software architecture has been tested through a case study of retrievals of semantically related data across repositories in pervasive healthcare and deployed with Semantic Web technology. The extensions to the research results include the applicability of our ontological layering and reasoning mechanisms in various problem domains and in environments where we need to (i) establish if and when we have overlapping “semantics”, and (ii) infer/assert a correct set of “semantics” which can support any decision making in such domains.

description: The anomalous trilinear gauge couplings of $Z$ and $γ$ are studied in $e^+e^-\to ZZ/Zγ$ with longitudinal beam polarizations using a complete set of polarization asymmetries for the $Z$ boson. We quantify the goodness of the beam polarization in terms of the likelihood and find the best-choice of $e^-$ and $e^+$ polarizations to be ($+0.16$, $-0.16$), ($+0.09$, $-0.10$) and ($+0.12$, $-0.12$) for $ZZ$, $Zγ$ and combined processes, respectively. Simultaneous limits on anomalous couplings are obtained for these choices of beam polarizations using Markov-Chain--Monte-Carlo (MCMC) for an $e^+e^-$ collider running at $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV and $\mathcal{L}=100$ fb$^{-1}$. We find the simultaneous limits for these beam polarizations to be comparable with each other and also comparable with the unpolarized beam case.

description: The excavations at the deserted mediaeval village of Martinsthorpe, Rutland, were carried out after part of the site had already been heavily ploughed. In view of this, only a small amount of structural evidence was obtained, but this was not altogether negligible. The opportunity was also taken to survey the remaining earthworks covering the village, in an adjacent field north of the excavation site.

Constraining Reionization with the $z \sim 5-6$ Lyman-$α$ Forest Power Spectrum: the Outlook after Planck

description: The latest measurements of CMB electron scattering optical depth reported by Planck significantly reduces the allowed space of HI reionization models, pointing toward a later ending and/or less extended phase transition than previously believed. Reionization impulsively heats the intergalactic medium (IGM) to $\sim10^4$ K, and owing to long cooling and dynamical times in the diffuse gas, comparable to the Hubble time, memory of reionization heating is retained. Therefore, a late ending reionization has significant implications for the structure of the $z\sim5-6$ Lyman-$α$ (ly$α$) forest. Using state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations that allow us to vary the timing of reionization and its associated heat injection, we argue that extant thermal signatures from reionization can be detected via the Ly$α$ forest power spectrum at $5< z<6$. This arises because the small-scale cutoff in the power depends not only the the IGM temperature at these epochs, but is also particularly sensitive to the pressure smoothing scale set by the IGM full thermal history. Comparing our different reionization models with existing measurements of the Ly$α$ forest flux power spectrum at $z=5.0-5.4$, we find that models satisfying Planck's $τ_e$, constraint favor a moderate amount of heat injection consistent with galaxies driving reionization, but disfavoring quasar-driven scenarios. We explore the impact of different reionization histories and heating models on the shape of the power spectrum, and find that they can produce similar effects, but argue that this degeneracy can be broken with high enough quality data. We study the feasibility of measuring the flux power spectrum at $z\simeq 6$ using mock quasar spectra and conclude that a sample of $\sim10$ high-resolution spectra with an attainable signal-to-noise ratio will allow distinguishing between different reionization scenarios.

description: We study quantum tunneling of a composite object, which has a dipole or quadrupole moment coupled with quantized (photon or gravitational) radiation field, through a δ potential barrier. The dipole or quadrupole moment is represented by an oscillator in the relative coordinate of two constituent particles of the object. The center of mass degrees of freedom of the object is not directly coupled with the radiation field. However, we show that, for the object with the oscillator in the excited state, dissipation caused by the radiation field can suppress its quantum tunneling rate in the center of mass degrees of freedom. In addition, when the initial energy of its center of mass motion is similar to that of the excited state of the oscillator, a spatial superposition state of the object prepared by the barrier can decohere due to the radiation field. The main purpose of this article is to investigate how two different interplays (i) among the center of mass, the relative coordinate degrees of freedom and the potential barrier, and (ii) between the relative coordinate degrees of freedom and the radiation field, can affect the quantum tunneling and the creation of the spatial superposition state of the object. Our toy model can give insight into tests of quantum tunneling and quantum superposition of atoms or molecules with its dipole or quadrupole moment coupled with the radiation field.

description: An examination of anti-Jewish violence on the part of Polish troops stationed in Bobruisk (Bel: Babruǐsk; Pol: Bobrujsk) between 1919 and 1920 puts into relief the interconnectedness of antisemitism and Polish nationalist discourse at the time of the consolidation of the Polish state. The relationship between Polish forces and the town's majority — Jews — reflects both Poland's colonial ambitions in the East and the emerging political vision of the future Polish state, in which ethnic minorities were to be second-class citizens. This article analyzes Jewish, Soviet, and Polish sources from the period, discussing both symbolic and actual violence against the Jews. Placing the events in Bobruisk in the wider perspective of the wave of pogroms that accompanied the advance of Polish troops in the so-called Kresy, Poland's eastern borderlands, it uses the micro-scale of one town to shed light on the factors that triggered the antisemitic violence.
Foundations of efficient virtual appliance based service deployments
Creators: name: Kecskemeti, Gabor
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2011

description: The use of virtual appliances could provide a flexible solution to services deployment. However, these solutions suffer from several disadvantages: (i) the slow deployment time of services in virtual machines, and (ii) virtual appliances crafted by developers tend to be inefficient for deployment purposes. Researchers target problem (i) by advancing virtualization technologies or by introducing virtual appliance caches on the virtual machine monitor hosts. Others aim at problem (ii) by providing solutions for virtual appliance construction, however these solutions require deep knowledge about the service dependencies and its deployment process. This dissertation aids problem (i) with a virtual appliance distribution technique that first identifies appliance parts and their internal dependencies. Then based on service demand it efficiently distributes the identified parts to virtual appliance repositories. Problem (ii) is targeted with the Automated Virtual appliance creation Service (AVS) that can extract and publish an already deployed service by the developer. This recently acquired virtual appliance is optimized for service deployment time with the proposed virtual appliance optimization facility that utilizes active fault injection to remove the non-functional parts of the appliance. Finally, the investigation of appliance distribution and optimization techniques resulted the definition of the minimal manageable virtual appliance that is capable of updating and configuring its executor virtual machine. The deployment time reduction capabilities of the proposed techniques were measured with several services provided in virtual appliances on three cloud infrastructures. The appliance creation capabilities of the AVS are compared to the already available virtual appliances offered by the various online appliance repositories. The results reveal that the introduced techniques significantly decrease the deployment time of virtual appliance based deployment systems. As a result these techniques alleviated one of the major obstacles before virtual appliance based deployment systems.

description: In spin ice research, small variations in structure or interactions drive a multitude of different behaviors, yet the collection of known materials relies heavily on the `227' pyrochlore structure. Here, we present thermodynamic, structural and inelastic neutron scattering data on a new spin-ice material, MgEr$_2$Se$_4$, which contributes to the relatively under-explored family of rare-earth spinel chalcogenides. X-ray and neutron diffraction confirm a normal spinel structure, and places Er$^{3+}$ moments on an ideal pyrochlore sublattice. Measurement of crystal electric field excitations with inelastic neutron scattering confirms that the moments have perfect Ising character, and further identifies the ground state Kramers doublet as having dipolar-octupolar form with a significant multipolar character. Heat capacity and magnetic neutron diffuse scattering have ice-like features, but are inconsistent with Monte Carlo simulations of the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor dipolar spin-ice (DSI) models. A significant remnant entropy is observed as $T\rightarrow0$~K, but again falls short of the full Pauling expectation for DSI, unless significant disorder is added. We show that these observations are fully in-line with what is recently reported for CdEr$_2$Se$_4$, and point to the importance of quantum fluctuations in these materials.

John Brinsley and his Friends

description: John Brinsley is known to historians of education as the author of a comprehensive course-probably the earliest in Britain-on language teaching, and as a pioneer in the teaching of the vernacular in grammar schools. He is also known to local historians as headmaster of Ashby-de-la-Zouch grammar school in the early years of the seventeenth century, and to students of theological history as the author of a number of Puritan devotional works. His linguistic achievements and teaching methods have been described elsewhere, but there is little information available about his personal life; the account in the Dictionary of National Biography records the views of one of his pupils on his abilities as a teacher, and Fox adds details of his marriage and of expenditure at Ashby School as shown in the feofees accounts. But Brinsley deserves to be better known, both as a teacher of extraordinary humanity and enlightenment, and as the associate and friend of a number of important and interesting figures in the social and cultural life of Leicestershire in the early seventeenth century.
Kauṇḍinya in Southeast Asia revisited
Creators: name: Golzio, Karl-Heinz
Publisher: name: Journal of Global Archaeology
Year: 2023

description: This paper revises earlier interpretations of the history of the figure of Kauṇḍinya and his spouse Somā in South-east Asia. While it was assumed so far – also by the author of this contribution – that the Kauṇḍinya mentioned in the inscription C. 96 was a figure from mythical ages, in this contribution a different reading of the sources is proposed. It is argued, that the inscription relates the pair in question to Bhavapura, the capital of Bhavavarman I and that chronologically, they must have been contemporaries of Īśānavarman (the king who ruled between ca. 616 to ca. 637 in Northern Cambodia) as it was their son Candravarman who was married to the granddaughter of the latter. The occurrence of the name Kauṇḍinya in other historical contexts is also examined in detail, highlighting the need for a more critical reading of the sources.

description: During a live concert, the mind can wander to unrelated thoughts such as personal concerns or past memories or to vivid images that are inspired by the music. This is an omnipresent phenomenon commonly referred to as mind-wandering. Psychological research on mind-wandering has explored its main characteristics, such as frequency, phenomenology, and impact on mood, both in the laboratory and in daily life contexts. This study aimed to harness the ecological setting of a live music concert to examine the occurrence and content of mind-wandering, as well as visual mental imagery as a mode through which mind-wandering occurs, and its relationship with the concertgoers’ moods before and after the music event. A self-report questionnaire ( n = 43) was used to collect data at two concerts of ambient music given as part of the CTM Festival. Findings suggest that mind-wandering occurs extensively in a concert environment. While mind-wandering episodes feature negative themes and moods—in the form of dark content of the visual mental imagery associated with the program’s musical tone—the concert environment still contributes to participants feeling more inspired afterward. Overall, this study points to the potential of live music contexts to stimulate a beneficial style of mind-wandering (i.e., one that leads to a positive impact on mood and imagery), and its findings are in line with those of previous research showing that live concerts lead to increased well-being of concertgoers. Implications for well-being and a call for more systematic research on this subject are discussed.

description: Proudly among this country's great works of historical writing stands the History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France by Sir William Napier. Napier himself fought throughout the campaign, an eye-witness who, like Caesar and Clarendon, knew from his own experience much of the history he was recording. His book originated in a passionate determination that the memory of Sir John Moore should be delivered from unjust aspersions. Justice and truth were the motives that impelled Napier to write of the exploits of Wellington's army, "abounding with signal examples of heroic courage and devoted zeal. They should be neither disfigured nor forgotten." Therefore he paused in the noble progress of his narrative, and, afflicted by the remembrance of one November night, turned to mention Edward Freer and his brothers-the principal subjects of this essay-in words that are truly neither disfiguring nor forgettable.

description: In July 2010 an important early Medieval gold bracteate, a first in Leicestershire, was found north of Melton in the parish of Scalford (PAS Ref. LEIC-EDD980). This object was of serious interest as it was the first of at least 1,000 known bracteates to show a figure with a drinking horn (or similar) vessel. The object was the focus of several papers by Dr Charlotte Behr, a bracteate expert, who has written several papers on this object, one of which was published in Transactions in 2011 (Behr 2011a). In November 2014 a second bracteate was found, west of Melton Mowbray, in the parish of Hoby with Rotherby (PAS Ref. LEIC-1E63A8). The finder realised its significance immediately, as it resembled closely the Scalford example which had been found by a fellow member of the Melton and Belvoir Search Society. The item was promptly reported to this writer and sent to the British Museum for examination by Charlotte Behr.

For each measured quantum coherent trajectory, we separately identify energy changes of the qubit as heat and work, and verify the first law of thermodynamics for an open quantum system. We further establish the consistency of these results by comparison with the master equation approach and the two-projective-measurement scheme, both for open and closed dynamics, with the help of a quantum feedback loop that compensates for the exchanged heat and effectively isolates the qubit.

description: There are several reasons why the career of Sir William Brockington is of particular interest to the historian of Education and to all those acquainted with the educational system which we see around us in Leicestershire today. In the first place, Brockington was Director of Education for no less than forty-four years. No Director anywhere in England has held office for so long a time and none is likely to do so in the future. It is therefore well worth asking how this came about, and with what results. Secondly, Brockington became a figure of national importance in education, but it is only through the use of local record material that one can begin to appreciate the full extent of his contribution. And finally, in dealing with the career of a near-contemporary, it may perhaps be possible to demonstrate the value of local sources even for quite recent history.

In this discussion at the IFLA WLIC 2023, the LIBER Educational Resources Working Group presented the status quo and the findings of our two first work packages on open textbooks in the LIBER educational resources working group:
 1) Discoverability and collection curation
 2) Measuring and assessing impact

description: Στα πλαίσια της συγκεκριμένης πτυχιακής εργασίας παρουσιάζεται η δημιουργία ενός ημερολογίου με διαφημιστικό σκοπό, για την εταιρία προϊόντων Casino. Η σειρά φωτογραφιών που απαρτίζουν το ημερολόγιο αυτό αποτελούν εικόνες παιδικού χαρακτήρα. Είναι άκρως μεταφορικές φωτογραφίες, οι οποίες παραπέμπουν με τον τρόπο τους στην δημιουργική παιδική φαντασία, η οποία συσχετίζει αντικείμενα της καθημερινότητας μεταξύ τους, ανάλογα με το χρώμα, το σχήμα και το μέγεθός τους, χωρίς αυτά να έχουν κάποια συσχέτιση ως προς την χρήση τους. Στην παρακάτω εργασία θα παρουσιαστεί η διαδικασία κατασκευής του ημερολογίου αυτού, από την ιδέα μέχρι και την υλοποίηση.
Thomas Roberts and the Leicester Map dated 1741

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 86, 165-182
description: A map of Leicester dated 1741, bearing the signature of Thomas Roberts, forms part of the published records of the borough of Leicester (RbL throughout this paper). The aim of this paper is to show that this was not a conventional map of the town at that or any other date, but was intended to mark features of what was already Leicester's past on a street plan of the early eighteenth century. some biographical details of Roberts are included, together with speculation on how the map came into existence.

Anti-bunching dynamics of plasmonically mediated entanglement generation
Creators: name: Dumitrescu, Eugene

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Dissipative entanglement generation protocols embrace environmental interactions in order to generate long-lived entangled states. In this letter, we report on the anti-bunching dynamics for a pair of actively driven quantum emitters coupled to a shared dissipative plasmonic reservoir. We find that anti-bunching is a universal signature for entangled states generated by dissipative means and examine its use as an entanglement diagnostic. We discuss the experimental validation of plasmonically mediated entanglement generation by Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry with picosecond timing resolution determined by an effective two-qubit Rabi frequency, and we analyze the robustness of entanglement generation with respect to perturbations in local detunings, couplings, and driving fields.

description: Before candles were superseded and the zeal of the Gothic Revivalists made itself felt, the artificial lighting of churches received little attention. Conditions likely to be typical of Leicestershire and Rutland were those at Wymeswold where the church had 'tallow dips, stuck on sticks, which were inserted in holes bored in the toprails of the pews. These were usually in all progressive degrees of filth, and leaning all ways.' Only in towns and large villages were the lighting fittings so elaborate as sometimes to include one or more chandeliers.

description: We present radial-velocity measurement of eight stars observed with the HARPS Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 3.6-m telescope in La Silla (ESO, Chile). Data span more than ten years and highlight the long-term stability of the instrument. We search for potential planets orbiting HD20003, HD20781, HD21693, HD31527, HD45184, HD51608, HD134060 and HD136352 to increase the number of known planetary systems and thus better constrain exoplanet statistics. After a preliminary phase looking for signals using generalized Lomb-Scargle periodograms, we perform a careful analysis of all signals to separate \emph{bona-fide} planets from spurious signals induced by stellar activity and instrumental systematics. We finally secure the detection of all planets using the efficient MCMC available on the Data and Analysis Center for Exoplanets (DACE web-platform), using model comparison whenever necessary. In total, we report the detection of twenty new super-Earth to Neptune-mass planets, with minimum masses ranging from 2 to 30 M$_{\rm Earth}$, and periods ranging from 3 to 1300 days. By including CORALIE and HARPS measurements of HD20782 to the already published data, we also improve the characterization of the extremely eccentric Jupiter orbiting this host.

Old Wealth or New Money? The Landed Classes of Mid Victorian Leicestershire
Creators: name: Shipley, Peter
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2022

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 85, 139-154
description: This article examines the origins and background of Leicestershire's major landowners during the 1870s and early 1880s. It draws on the 1873 Return of Owners of Land, which was analysed by Dave Postles in the Society's Transactions of 2010, to identify those people who owned 1,000 acres or more, or owned land with a gross annual value of at least �1,000. Using a range of published and unpublished sources, and based on research for a doctoral thesis, it traces in particular those who had invested in land since 1830 from the proceeds of wealth created in business or the professions.

A Georgian Country Gentleman and his World: The Diaries of John Frewen Turner of Cold Overton Hall, 1781-1805
Creators: name: Shipley, Peter
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 88, 111-140
description: The diaries of John Frewen Turner (1755-1829), of Cold Overton Hall, Leicestershire, were written between 1781 and 1805. They describe the life of a country gentleman in the later Georgian period, and provide an often intimate insight into his personal life as well as the cultural world he inhabited, the range of his social networks, and the considerations that shaped his view of his role and standing. The diaries also shed light on the nature of landed society and of patterns of inheritance which enabled scattered estates to descend to one junior branch of a family, and so form the basis of considerable wealth in the nineteenth century. Written in pocket notebooks, the diaries have remained unpublished and form part of a large archive of the family's papers from the seventeenth century held in East Sussex Record Office.
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-like separability indicators for two-mode Gaussian states
Creators: name: Marian, Paulina

description: We investigate the separability of the two-mode Gaussian states by using the variances of a pair of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR)-like observables. Our starting point is inspired by the general necessary condition of separability introduced by Duan {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84}, 2722 (2000)]. We evaluate the minima of the normalized forms of both the product and sum of such variances, as well as that of a regularized sum. Making use of Simon's separability criterion, which is based on the condition of positivity of the partial transpose (PPT) of the density matrix [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84}, 2726 (2000)], we prove that these minima are separability indicators in their own right. They appear to quantify the greatest amount of EPR-like correlations that can be created in a two-mode Gaussian state by means of local operations. Furthermore, we reconsider the EPR-like approach to the separability of two-mode Gaussian states which was developed by Duan {\em et al.} with no reference to the PPT condition. By optimizing the regularized form of their EPR-like uncertainty sum, we derive a separability indicator for any two-mode Gaussian state. We prove that the corresponding EPR-like condition of separability is manifestly equivalent to Simon's PPT one. The consistency of these two distinct approaches (EPR-like and PPT) affords a better understanding of the examined separability problem, whose explicit solution found long ago by Simon covers all situations of interest.

The Computer Aided Design and Fabrication of Facial Prostheses
Creators: name: Eggbeer, Dominic
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University

Subjects: Oral and maxillofacial surgery
Computer aided design

description: Maxillofacial prosthetics is a specialised profession that seeks to meet the needs of patients with various degrees of facial deformity by restoring aesthetic and functional portions of missing tissue using artificial materials. The maxillofacial prosthetics specialty is relatively small compared to other healthcare professions and technological developments are often denied to them, as commercial companies cannot recoup the investment required from such a small market. Therefore many of their practices are inherently labour intensive, requiring inordinate amounts of skill and training to become competent. Faced with increasing case numbers and a reduced number of new prosthetists entering the profession, there is urgency to update techniques in order to improve efficiency. The need to embrace technological development is clear. The profession has a long and well-documented history of adopting, adapting and improving on existing technologies found in industry. For example, Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Rapid Prototyping (RP) have been successfully used for many years to assist maxillofacial surgery. However, the application of these technologies for soft tissue prostheses has proved more complicated and very few people have concentrated research efforts in the area. This research critically evaluates and develops the current capabilities of technologies that may be used to assist in the production of soft tissue facial prostheses. Case study, action research methods were used to critically evaluate technologies in terms quality, economics and clinical viability. Technological limitations have been challenged and case studies in this thesis incorporate gradually more complex aspects of prosthesis design, such as implant retention mechanism design and fabrication and texture creation. Conclusions on the current capabilities, limitations and required future developments are made. The research culminates in a specification, against which developers may measure their technologies and towards which they may develop them to meet the needs of the profession and UK health service.
