description: We study lower bounds on the optimal error probability in classical coding over classical-quantum channels at rates below the capacity, commonly termed quantum sphere-packing bounds. Winter and Dalai have derived such bounds for classical-quantum channels; however, the exponents in their bounds only coincide when the channel is classical. In this paper, we show that these two exponents admit a variational representation and are related by the Golden-Thompson inequality, reaffirming that Dalai's expression is stronger in general classical-quantum channels. Second, we establish a sphere-packing bound for classical-quantum channels, which significantly improves Dalai's prefactor from the order of subexponential to polynomial. Furthermore, the gap between the obtained error exponent for constant composition codes and the best known classical random coding exponent vanishes in the order of $o(\log n / n)$, indicating our sphere-packing bound is almost exact in the high rate regime. Finally, for a special class of symmetric classical-quantum channels, we can completely characterize its optimal error probability without the constant composition code assumption. The main technical contributions are two converse Hoeffding bounds for quantum hypothesis testing and the saddle-point properties of error exponent functions.

description: The main objective of this paper is to examine the key determinants of public debt in the Gambia. To achieve this objective, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARD) method was employed to examine the impact of short-run and long-run selected macroeconomic variables as well as a government effectiveness variable in determining the public debt level of The Gambia during the period 2000 to 2019. The results reveal that trade openness and gross fixed capital formation have an increasing impact on the Gambia’s public debt in the long-run. On the other hand, GDP growth, official exchange rate, and the government effectiveness variables have been found to have decreasing effects on public debt levels in the long-run. However, none of the variables show a significant relationship with public debt of levels of The Gambia in the short-run. Given these findings, it is recommended for the Government of the Gambia to improve the country’s governance effectiveness, in particular, as weak government institutions was found to be one of the main drivers of the country’s public debt in the long-run.

description: In this study, 3,4,5-trialkoxybenzyl pentafluorbenzoates with alkyl chains of various lengths were synthesised, and the phase transition behaviours, liquid crystallinities, and molecular packing structures of their columnar phases were investigated. The results showed that discs comprising two half-discoid molecules stack up to form columns with rack-gear structures, generating columnar liquid crystal phases. From powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction investigation, the mechanism of the self-assembly of molecules into columns and their intercolumnar interdigitation was postulated. Furthermore, it was revealed that the combination of alkyl groups of the benzyl groups was closely related to the type of columnar liquid crystal phases generated and the macroscopic morphologies of the liquid crystal domains.

description: Background Maximal isokinetic strength ratios of joint flexors and extensors are important parameters to indicate the level of muscular balance at the joint. Further, in combat sports athletes, upper and lower limb muscle strength is affected by the type of sport. Thus, this study aimed to examine the differences in maximal isokinetic strength of the flexors and extensors and the corresponding flexor–extensor strength ratios of the elbows and knees in combat sports athletes. Method Forty male participants (age = 22.3 ± 2.5 years) from four different combat sports (amateur boxing, taekwondo, karate, and judo; n = 10 per sport) were tested for eccentric peak torque of the elbow/knee flexors (EF/KF) and concentric peak torque of the elbow/knee extensors (EE/KE) at three different angular velocities (60, 120, and 180°/s) on the dominant and non-dominant side using an isokinetic device. Results Analyses revealed significant, large-sized group × velocity × limb interactions for EF, EE, and EF–EE ratio, KF, KE, and KF–KE ratio (p ≤ 0.03; 0.91 ≤ d ≤ 1.75). Post-hoc analyses indicated that amateur boxers displayed the largest EE strength values on the non-dominant side at ≤ 120°/s and the dominant side at ≥ 120°/s (p < 0.03; 1.21 ≤ d ≤ 1.59). The largest EF–EE strength ratios were observed on amateur boxers’ and judokas’ non-dominant side at ≥ 120°/s (p < 0.04; 1.36 ≤ d ≤ 2.44). Further, we found lower KF–KE strength measures in karate (p < 0.04; 1.12 ≤ d ≤ 6.22) and judo athletes (p ≤ 0.03; 1.60 ≤ d ≤ 5.31) particularly on the non-dominant side. Conclusions The present findings indicated combat sport-specific differences in maximal isokinetic strength measures of EF, EE, KF, and KE particularly in favor of amateur boxers on the non-dominant side.

description: Il monitoraggio della biodiversità è essenziale per la biologia della conservazione e la crescente disponibilità di dati di Citizen science su piattaforme online potrebbe facilitare notevolmente lo studio di processi ecologici legati a piante ed animali. Infatti, grazie a queste piattaforme, i ricercatori possono stimare la ricchezza e la distribuzione di specie protette o invasive, anche su vasta scala (da locale a globale). 

Tuttavia, le attuali piattaforme sono ancora lontane dall'essere uno strumento efficace nello studio dell'ecologia animale e quindi non sono ancora in grado di fornire dati ‘grezzi’ così robusti da supportare processi decisionali, fondamentali per la protezione e la conservazione delle risorse naturali. Infatti, spesso i dati archiviati sulle piattaforme Citizen science sono stati raccolti in maniera opportunistica (non utilizzando protocolli standardizzati, né campionamenti randomizzati) rendendo difficile una valutazione oggettiva della loro qualità per la ricerca scientifica. Un esempio di bias legato alle piattaforme Citizen science consiste nell’archiviazione dei soli dati di presenza (escludendo completamente quelli di assenza) che porta ad interpretazioni limitate sulla distribuzione delle specie. Inoltre, i dati di queste piattaforme sono tipicamente sbilanciati in favore dei centri abitati o delle zone frequentate dagli osservatori più attivi. Inoltre i dati posso anche essere distribuiti in maniera sbilanciata verso i paesi più sviluppati. Infine molte osservazioni sono tassonomicamente sbilanciate in favore di specie di grandi dimensioni e comuni, carismatiche, dai colori vivaci e facili da rilevare. 

Per questo, nel nostro studio forniamo linee guida per superare la maggior parte dei limiti sopracitati e per rendere le piattaforme online più efficaci nel colmare le lacune di specie e siti sottorappresentati. In particolare, affrontiamo come migliorare ed armonizzare le prestazioni sia in termini di rappresentatività di specie e taxa che di robustezza statistica per fornire stime affidabili di presenza e abbondanza delle specie.

description: We theoretically demonstrate that the chiral structure of the nodes of nodal semimetals is responsible for the existence and universal local properties of the edge states in the vicinity of the nodes. We perform a general analysis of the edge states for an isolated node of a 2D semimetal, protected by {\em chiral symmetry} and characterized by the topological winding number $N$. We derive the asymptotic chiral-symmetric boundary conditions and find that there are $N+1$ universal classes of them. The class determines the numbers of flat-band edge states on either side off the node in the 1D spectrum and the winding number $N$ gives the {\em total} number of edge states. We then show that the edge states of chiral nodal semimetals are {\em robust}: they persist in a finite-size {\em stability region} of parameters of chiral-asymmetric terms. This significantly extends the notion of 2D and 3D topological nodal semimetals. We demonstrate that the Luttinger model with a quadratic node for $j=\frac32$ electrons is a 3D topological semimetal in this new sense and predict that $α$-Sn, HgTe, possibly Pr$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, and many other semimetals described by it are topological and exhibit surface states.

description: The extensive research of two-dimensional layered materials has revealed that valleys, as energy extrema in momentum space, could offer a new degree of freedom for carrying information. Based on this concept, researchers have predicted valley-Hall topological insulators which could support valley-polarized edge states at non-trivial domain walls. Recently, several kinds of photonic or sonic crystals have been proposed as classical counterparts of valley-Hall topological insulators. However, direct experimental observation of valley-polarized edge states in photonic crystals is still difficult until now. Here, we demonstrate a designer surface plasmon crystal comprising metallic patterns deposited on a dielectric substrate, which can become a valley-Hall photonic topological insulator by exploiting the mirror-symmetry-breaking mechanism. Topological edge states with valley-dependent transport are directly visualized in the microwave regime. The observed edge states are confirmed to be fully valley-polarized through spatial Fourier transforms. Topological protection of the edge states at sharp corners is also experimentally demonstrated.

description: Free convective heat transfer from a heated slender body in a rectangular channel is studied in the present work. Numerical investigation has been carried out to study the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a channel with heated slender body placed at the middle. The walls are assumed to be adiabatic and entrainment is provided from the environment through the openings of the channel. The two dimensional Continuity, Navier-stokes and Energy equation with Boussinesq approximation have been solved by finite difference method. Uniform grids are used in entire computational domain. The differential equations are discritized using central difference method and forward difference method. The discritized equations with proper boundary conditions are sought by SUR method. The flow field has been studied for the range of 50.0< Ra <2.5x104 and Prandtl number range of 0.1 to 5.0. Effect of locations of slender body and effect of aspect ratio have also been investigated for the locations 1.0 to 6.0 and Aspect ratio 9.98, 4.99, 3.33, 2.49, 2.0 respectively. It is observed that slender body average Nusselt Number slowly decreases with the increase of Rayleigh Number. Heating efficiency increases with the increase of Rayleigh Number and remains almost constant for the the range of Prandtl Number considered.

All wave equations are derived in general and discussed. On Minkowski4 times an arbitrary Ricci-flat compact manifold, we find: a massless wave with an additional polarization, the breathing mode, and extra waves with high frequencies fixed by Kaluza-Klein masses. We discuss whether these two effects could be observed.

Structures of feeling: the affective economies  of private renting in the Majority World
Creators: name: Soaita, Adriana Mihaela
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Invited presentation at the Urban Studies Seminar Series, University of Glasgow (Oct-2023). Abstract:

The interest in the private renting sector as a mechanism generator of new inequalities is dominated by accounts of the Minority World. In these economically developed countries of sustained regulatory, market, welfare and tenant-activism institutions, much of the focus has fallen on proposing ways of increasing the sector’s efficiency and addressing tenants’ precarity. But what about the Majority World? 

 Advancing a Critical Interpretative Synthesis of the academic literature on renting in the Majority World and drawing on the method of ‘experimental comparison’, I aim to read the affective economies of private renting through Raymond William’s (1977) concept of ‘structures of feeling’ that is a ‘sense of a shared affective quality through which the present is rendered sensible and apprehended’. Through an inductive/deductive interpretation, I propose understanding the affective economies of private renting through three dominant structures of feeling: (a) greed and alienation, emerging through capitalist relations as exposed by Karl Marx (1867), and more recently Madden and Marcuse (2016); (b) ethics of care, emerging through the social infrastructure of diverse economies, as exposed by Karl Polanyi (1957), and more recently Gibson-Graham (2008); and (c) cruel optimism, emerging through the attrition of the conditions of possibility of the ‘good life’, as exposed by Lauren Berlant (2011). I apply this framework of interpretation to the very different historical presents of Eastern Europe, Western Africa (Ghana and Nigeria) and the Indian subcontinent. Rooted in broader theories of affect (Anderson 2014), it is hoped that the theoretical reading proposed shows that the lived experience of private renting is not only shaped by economic and political structures but also by structures of feeling through which the other two are both reproduced and questioned, potentially leading to the emergence of new everyday practices and institutional arrangements.
Modeling flow in porous media with double porosity/permeability: A stabilized mixed formulation, error analysis, and numerical solutions

description: The flow of incompressible fluids through porous media plays a crucial role in many technological applications such as enhanced oil recovery and geological carbon-dioxide sequestration. The flow within numerous natural and synthetic porous materials that contain multiple scales of pores cannot be adequately described by the classical Darcy equations. It is for this reason that mathematical models for fluid flow in media with multiple scales of pores have been proposed in the literature. However, these models are analytically intractable for realistic problems. In this paper, a stabilized mixed four-field finite element formulation is presented to study the flow of an incompressible fluid in porous media exhibiting double porosity/permeability. The stabilization terms and the stabilization parameters are derived in a mathematically and thermodynamically consistent manner, and the computationally convenient equal-order interpolation of all the field variables is shown to be stable. A systematic error analysis is performed on the resulting stabilized weak formulation. Representative problems, patch tests and numerical convergence analyses are performed to illustrate the performance and convergence behavior of the proposed mixed formulation in the discrete setting. The accuracy of numerical solutions is assessed using the mathematical properties satisfied by the solutions of this double porosity/permeability model. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed framework can perform well under transient conditions and that it can capture well-known instabilities such as viscous fingering.
Absurd Numbers: A New Algebraic Structure for Resolving Division by Zero
Creators: name: Mtskerashvili
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper introduces a new mathematical framework to resolve the long-standing issue of division by zero. Through extending the current number system with "absurd numbers" to handle operations involving division by zero in a consistent and algebraically sound manner. The framework, built on the concept of recursively defined hierarchical numbers called absurd units, provides an algebraic structure that preservers axioms of standard number systems while introducing mechanism to address division by zero in finite form. This paper provides a basic overview of the theory and its potential applications, and acknowledges that further development of the theory is needed.

description: In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory perturbation theory generically requires the inclusion of extra contributions non-perturbative in the coupling, such as instantons, to reproduce exact results. We show how full non-perturbative results can be encoded in a suitable modified perturbative series in a class of quantum mechanical problems. We illustrate this explicitly in examples which are known to contain non-perturbative effects, such as the (supersymmetric) double-well potential, the pure anharmonic oscillator, and the perturbative expansion around a false vacuum.

description: The interaction between propagating microwave fields and Cooper-pair tunneling across a DC voltage-biased Josephson junction can be highly nonlinear. We show theoretically that this nonlinearity can be used to convert an incoming single microwave photon into an outgoing $n$-photon Fock state in a different mode. In this process, the electrostatic energy released in a Cooper-pair tunneling event is transferred to the outgoing Fock state, providing energy gain. The created multi-photon Fock state is frequency entangled and highly bunched. The conversion can be made reflectionless (impedance-matched) so that all incoming photons are converted to $n$-photon states. With realistic parameters multiplication ratios $n > 2$ can be reached. By two consecutive multiplications, the outgoing Fock-state number can get sufficiently large to accurately discriminate it from vacuum with linear post-amplification and power measurement. Therefore, this amplification scheme can be used as single-photon detector without dead time.

description: Tom Meade made outstanding contributions to our understanding of the role of the haemostatic (clotting) system in the causation of cardiovascular disease by combining epidemiological approaches with rigorous standardization of laboratory methods. As director of the MRC Epidemiology and Medical Care Unit (EMCU) at Northwick Park Hospital he led major prospective studies to investigate the relationship between a range of haemostatic factors and cardiovascular disease outcomes. He also led several major randomized trials of interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk, notably the Thrombosis Prevention Trial. The EMCU also undertook several landmark studies on common and often neglected conditions to improve knowledge of the burden of ill health (for example from incontinence) and effective interventions, including for low back pain and stroke rehabilitation. In his later career he also set up and led a series of large case–control studies among myocardial infarction, stroke, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism cases, together with their matched controls using a primary care database, showing elevated risks of both arterial and venous thrombosis following respiratory infections. He had many major scientific leadership roles, including playing a significant role in guiding the UK Biobank at its inception and chairing the steering committee of the Heart Protection Study Collaborative Group.

description: Time series visualization of streaming telemetry (i.e., charting of key metrics such as server load over time) is increasingly prevalent in modern data platforms and applications. However, many existing systems simply plot the raw data streams as they arrive, often obscuring large-scale trends due to small-scale noise. We propose an alternative: to better prioritize end users' attention, smooth time series visualizations as much as possible to remove noise, while retaining large-scale structure to highlight significant deviations. We develop a new analytics operator called ASAP that automatically smooths streaming time series by adaptively optimizing the trade-off between noise reduction (i.e., variance) and trend retention (i.e., kurtosis). We introduce metrics to quantitatively assess the quality of smoothed plots and provide an efficient search strategy for optimizing these metrics that combines techniques from stream processing, user interface design, and signal processing via autocorrelation-based pruning, pixel-aware preaggregation, and on-demand refresh. We demonstrate that ASAP can improve users' accuracy in identifying long-term deviations in time series by up to 38.4% while reducing response times by up to 44.3%. Moreover, ASAP delivers these results several orders of magnitude faster than alternative search strategies.

description: A persistence of several anomalies in muon physics, such as the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the muonic hydrogen Lamb shift, hints at new light particles beyond the Standard Model. We address a subset of these models that have a new light scalar state with sizable couplings to muons and suppressed couplings to electrons. A novel way to search for such particles would be through muon beam-dump experiments by (1) missing momentum searches; (2) searches for decays with displaced vertices. The muon beams available at CERN and Fermilab present attractive opportunities for exploring the new scalar with a mass below the di-muon threshold, and potentially covering a range of relevant candidate models. For the models considered in this paper, both types of signals, muon missing momentum and anomalous energy deposition at a distance, can probe a substantial fraction of the unexplored parameter space of the new light scalar, including a region that can explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy.

description: In this paper, we present a time-contrastive learning (TCL) based bottleneck (BN)feature extraction method for speech signals with an application to text-dependent (TD) speaker verification (SV). It is well-known that speech signals exhibit quasi-stationary behavior in and only in a short interval, and the TCL method aims to exploit this temporal structure. More specifically, it trains deep neural networks (DNNs) to discriminate temporal events obtained by uniformly segmenting speech signals, in contrast to existing DNN based BN feature extraction methods that train DNNs using labeled data to discriminate speakers or pass-phrases or phones or a combination of them. In the context of speaker verification, speech data of fixed pass-phrases are used for TCL-BN training, while the pass-phrases used for TCL-BN training are excluded from being used for SV, so that the learned features can be considered generic. The method is evaluated on the RedDots Challenge 2016 database. Experimental results show that TCL-BN is superior to the existing speaker and pass-phrase discriminant BN features and the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient feature for text-dependent speaker verification.

A comparative analysis of agenda-setting and political communication: a case study of the 2004 Cyprus Referendum
Creators: name: Unvan, Atas
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2010

description: This study is an investigation of cross-­national comparative analysis of agenda-setting and political communication process during the 2004 Cyprus Referendum. The main aim of the study is to explore the dynamics amongst political campaigners and news media in the agenda-­setting process in the referendum that was proposed by the United Nations General Secretary Kofi Annan to reunify the island after 50 years of division. This research is a unique subject to study as it has not been scrutinised by academics from a mass media and political communication perspective. There have only been a few attempts to compare the contents of election communication in different societies, particularly for referendum campaigns communication. To scrutinise the dynamics and discretionary power between the media professionals and political campaigners, I have employed the framework of the pioneering study of Semetko et al.(1991) The Formation of campaign Agendas: A Comparative Analysis of Party and Media Roles in Recent American and British Elections. In this study I have explored the dynamics between the political campaigners, politicians and the news media over the agenda-­setting process and I have also investigated to what extent cultural and political factors influenced the political campaign design and the agenda-­setting power of the political actors. Additionally, the influence of media systems-in particular print media on the agenda-­setting process has been examined. So, this study analysis not only contributes to the comparative studies, where there is a dearth of research scope, but it also contributes particularly to the literature of agenda-setting research within the context of referendum elections, an area in which scholarly research is also neglected. Perhaps, most importantly, this study will also create a body of knowledge for likely future referendum studies in Cyprus on reunification.

description: Recently there is a flourishing and notable interest in the crystalline scintillator material sodium iodide (NaI) as target for direct dark matter searches. This is mainly driven by the long-reigning contradicting situation in the dark matter sector: the positive evidence for the detection of a dark matter modulation signal claimed by the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration is (under so-called standard assumptions) inconsistent with the null-results reported by most of the other direct dark matter experiments. We present the results of a first prototype detector using a new experimental approach in comparison to \textit{conventional} single-channel NaI scintillation light detectors: a NaI crystal operated as a scintillating calorimeter at milli-Kelvin temperatures simultaneously providing a phonon (heat) plus scintillation light signal and particle discrimination on an event-by-event basis. We evaluate energy resolution, energy threshold and further performance parameters of this prototype detector developed within the COSINUS R&D project.

description: We investigate the impact of a fourth sterile neutrino at reactor and Spallation Neutron Source neutrino detectors. Specifically, we explore the discovery potential of the TEXONO and COHERENT experiments to subleading sterile neutrino effects through the measurement of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering event rate. Our dedicated $χ^2$-sensitivity analysis employs realistic nuclear structure calculations adequate for high purity sub-keV threshold Germanium detectors.

description: We find explicit formulas for the probabilities of general boundary visit events for planar loop-erased random walks, as well as connectivity events for branches in the uniform spanning tree. We show that both probabilities, when suitably renormalized, converge in the scaling limit to conformally covariant functions which satisfy partial differential equations of second and third order, as predicted by conformal field theory. The scaling limit connectivity probabilities also provide formulas for the pure partition functions of multiple $\mathrm{SLE}_κ$ at $κ=2$.

Measurement of the $W$-boson mass in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A measurement of the mass of the $W$ boson is presented based on proton-proton collision data recorded in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, and corresponding to 4.6 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The selected data sample consists of $7.8 \times 10^6$ candidates in the $W\rightarrow μν$ channel and $5.9 \times 10^6$ candidates in the $W\rightarrow e ν$ channel. The $W$-boson mass is obtained from template fits to the reconstructed distributions of the charged lepton transverse momentum and of the $W$ boson transverse mass in the electron and muon decay channels, yielding \begin{eqnarray} m_W &=& 80370 \pm 7 \, (\textrm{stat.}) \pm 11 \, (\textrm{exp. syst.}) \pm 14 \, (\textrm{mod. syst.}) \, \textrm{MeV} &=& 80370 \pm 19 \, \textrm{MeV}, \end{eqnarray} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second corresponds to the experimental systematic uncertainty, and the third to the physics-modelling systematic uncertainty. A measurement of the mass difference between the $W^+$ and $W^-$ bosons yields $m_{W^+}-m_{W^-} = -29 \pm 28$ MeV.

Tissue-location specific transcription programs drive tumor dependencies in colon cancer

subject: Cancer cell biology

description: Cancers of the same tissue-type but in anatomically distinct locations exhibit different molecular dependencies for tumorigenesis. Proximal and distal colon cancers exemplify such characteristics, with BRAFV600E predominantly occurring in proximal colon cancers along with increased DNA methylation phenotype. Using mouse colon organoids, we show that proximal and distal colon stem cells have distinct transcriptional programs that regulate stemness and differentiation. We identify that the homeobox transcription factor, CDX2, which is silenced by DNA methylation in proximal colon cancers, is a key mediator of the differential transcriptional programs. Cdx2-mediated proximal colon-specific transcriptional program concurrently is tumor suppressive, and Cdx2 loss sufficiently creates permissive state for BRAFV600E-driven transformation. Human proximal colon cancers with CDX2 downregulation showed similar transcriptional program as in mouse proximal organoids with Cdx2 loss. Developmental transcription factors, such as CDX2, are thus critical in maintaining tissue-location specific transcriptional programs that create tissue-type origin specific dependencies for tumor initiation.
