description: We analyze $μ^+μ^-$ pair production generated by high-energy electrons emerging from a laser-wakefield accelerator. The $μ^+μ^-$ pairs are created in a solid thick high-$Z$ target, following the electron accelerating plasma region. Numerical estimates are presented for electron beams obtained presently in the LBL TW laser experiment \cite{C2} and possible future developments. Reactions induced by the secondary bremsstrahlung photons dominate the dimuon production. According to our estimates, a 20 pC electron bunch with energy of 1 (10) GeV may create about 200 (6000) muon pairs. The produced $μ^\pm$ can be used in studying various aspects of muon-related physics in table top installations. This may be considered as an important step towards the investigation of more complicated elementary processes induced by laser driven electrons.

THE HUNTINGTIN CAG REPEATS AS 'FINE-TUNING KNOB' FOR PROTEIN NEURAL FUNCTION
Creators: name: IENNACO, RAFFAELE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: Introduction. Huntingtin gene (HTT) encodes for a high molecular weight protein (HTT) that is essential during gastrulation and in forebrain formation. The N-terminal region of the protein has been recently associated to in vitro pro-neurulation activity. This region includes a peculiar CAG repeat stretch whose expansion results in an inherited neurodegenerative disorder named Huntington?s disease (HD). The disease itself, its penetrance and age of onset are dependent on the length of CAG stretch that encodes for a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract. Evolutionary studies showed that this polyQ tract appeared for the first time in echinoderms, then increased in length during deuterostome evolution in parallel to the emergence of progressively more complex nervous systems. Despite these indications, the functional significance of the polyQ variability in normal HTT remains to be explored. Aim. Here we investigate whether the polyQ tract in HTT is biologically active during early neurogenesis. In particular, as a tool to study in vitro neurogenesis, we adopted the rosette assay, an in vitro assay that measures the ability of ES cell-derived neural progenitors to form radial arrangements of columnar cells (named neural rosettes) that mimic neural tube formation in vivo. Additionally, we worked on designing a novel automated method for faster and unbiased quantifications of the rosette phenotype. Methods. We produced a mouse embryonic stem (mES) cell-based platform for complementation assays with HTT N-terminal portion bearing different polyQ repeats, their deletion and substitutions (0Q, 2Q, 4Q, 7Q, 15Q, 128Q, Q3Q(CAA)Q3, and Q3PQ3). The newly generated cells were exposed to a neural induction protocol to assess their rosette formation potential. Results. We report that the pro-neurulation activity, but not the antiapoptotic function, of HTT is impaired by the sole polyQ domain deletion from the N-terminal portion of HTT. Moreover, the CAG tract length affects rosette formation potential in a linear fashion. Conversely, either a pathological CAG expansion or a CAG interruption causes loss of HTT N-terminal pro-neurulation activity. Finally, to further characterize this phenotype in an unbiased and quantitative way, we developed and tested a novel automated system, based on high-content imaging approach that allowed us to pinpoint this trait with unparalleled precision and efficiency. Conclusions. Overall, these results demonstrate that HTT ability to promote rosette formation is linked to a persistent and uninterrupted CAG tract, while HTT antiapoptotic activity lays outside HTT polyQ domain.

title: Integrating conservation and development: the role of local people in the the maintenance of protected areas in Madagascar
Creators: name: Durbin, Joanna
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: In Madagascar, as throughout the world, protected areas were originally created with little consideration for local people. Conflicts have arisen as people continue to use resources within protected areas. A recent approach, integrated conservation and development, aims to provide alternative resources or other benefits to local people and promote local sustainable management of resources to alleviate pressure on protected areas. At two sites, Andohahela and Soalala, studies were conducted in two villages per site. Energetic, economic, cultural and ecological influences on resource use were investigated. Energy expenditure, resulting from distance travelled and effort required for extraction, limits resources used and collection zones in these primarily subsistence populations. Some commodities are traded, but the effort required for transport limits trade. Cultural influences, both traditional and political, also have a strong impact on resource use and management, for example resulting in apparently disadvantageous trade in rice for cattle immediately after harvest. The species used and approximate amounts of resources extracted from different habitat types are documented for each site. Some local practices have a major impact on biodiversity, for example at both sites uncontrolled burning, often started for pasture regeneration, is a threat to forest areas. Extraction of locally important resources, such as wood and other materials for house and boat construction, tubers in periods of food shortage and plants used medicinally and ritually, have less impact. Resource management initiatives are proposed that take account of relative environmental impact, energetic, economic and cultural values of resources to local people, traditional management practices and social organisation. I conclude that development activities to maintain a protected area should integrate natural resource and cultural issues so that activities are directed at local practices with most impact on biodiversity and enable the social mechanisms and institutions for lasting conservation.

description: The study of the content, distribution and kinematics of interstellar gas is a key to understand the origin and maintenance of both starburst and nuclear (AGN) activity in galaxies. The processes involved in AGN fueling encompass a wide range of scales, both spatial and temporal, which have to be studied. Probing the gas flow from the outer disk down to the central engine of an AGN host, requires the use of specific tracers of the interstellar medium adapted to follow the change of phase of the gas as a function of radius. Current mm-interferometers can provide a sharp view of the distribution and kinematics of molecular gas in the circumnuclear disks of galaxies through extensive CO line mapping. As such, CO maps are an essential tool to study AGN feeding mechanisms in the local universe. This is the scientific driver of the NUclei of GAlaxies (NUGA) survey, whose latest results are here reviewed. On the other hand, the use of specific molecular tracers of the dense gas phase can probe the feedback influence of activity on the chemistry and energy balance/redistribution in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. Millimeter interferometers are able to unveil the strong chemical differentiation present in the molecular gas disks of nearby starbursts and AGNs. Nearby active galaxies can be used as local templates to address the study of more distant galaxies where both star formation and AGN activity are deeply embedded.

Lucy's indivisible photon packets method to calculate X-ray continuum spectra of comptonized thermal plasma in arbitrary geometry and apply it to describe the broadband X-ray continuum of the galactic superaccreting microquasar SS433 observed by INTEGRAL. A physical model of the X-ray emitting region is proposed that includes thermal emission from the accretion disk, jets and hot corona where the photons of different origin are comptonized. From comparison with INTEGRAL observations, we estimate physical parameters of the complex X-ray emitting region in SS433 and present model spectra for different viewing angles of the object.

description: The demand for Internet based services has exploded over the last decade. Many organizations use the Internet and particularly the World Wide Web as their primary medium for communication and business. This phenomenal growth has dramatically increased the performance requirements for the Internet. To have a high performance Internet, a good congestion control system is essential for it. The current work proposes that the congestion control in the Internet can be inspired from the population control tactics of the nature. Toward this idea, each flow (W) in the network is viewed as a species whose population size is congestion window size of the flow. By this assumption, congestion control problem is redefined as population control of flow species. This paper defines a three trophic food chain analogy in congestion control area, and gives a ratio dependent model to control population size of W species within this plant herbivore carnivorous food chain. Simulation results show that this model achieves fair bandwidth allocation, high utilization and small queue size. It does not maintain any per flow state in routers and have few computational loads per packet, which makes it scalable.

Irish convicts and Van Diemen's Land
Creators: name: Williams, JVL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this thesis is to examine in detail the origins, of Irish convicts transported to Van Diemen 's Land and to discuss how they reacted to colonial conditions. All Irish-born prisoners sent to the colony have been included in this study. During the transportation period 1803 to 1853 several thousand felons of Irish birth came from areas of the British Empire other than Ireland. English or Scottish courts sentenced the majority but a few met their fate in other Australian colonies or while serving with the British army in overseas territories. They need to be included because they shared a common Irish background with convicts tried in Ireland. Many of them had been forced by poverty or famine to leave their homeland and they tended to retain their Irish traditions. Unfortunately it was found impossible to account for their descendants. Although under the influence of Irish parents and living mostly in Irish ghettos or slums in Britain it would have been an extremely difficult task to distinguish them from o¬¨‚àëther prisoners convicted in the same courts. The records only note their place of birth and trial.

description: Adopting the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism, we study the coupling of torsion fields with photons in the presence of an external background electromagnetic. We explicitly show that, in the case of a constant electric field strength expectation value, the static potential remains Coulombic, while in the case of a constant magnetic field strength expectation value a confining potential is obtained. This result displays a marked qualitative departure from the usual coupling of axionlike particles with photons in the presence of an external magnetic field.

description: Minoan lamps remain the only artificial light sources that have not yet been studied as lighting devices but rather as chronological and regional markers. This research proposes a functional analysis of these objects, entailing from the wick to the light, and investigates, through this prism, the rhythm of activities and the Minoans’ lived space. To this end, an interdisciplinary approach was developed. A typo-techno-functional analysis has been applied to 543 lamps and objects that could have a link with lighting. This corpus comes from seven settlements in a chronological sequence covering the whole Bronze Age, thus permitting a diachronic analysis of lighting techniques within the sites. The function of lamps has been studied through an experimental approach. Based on the reconstruction of shapes, fuels and wicks available in the Minoans’ environment, it has shed light on technical aspects of their utilization (transport, burning length, smokes, smells, light). In this frame, a reference database of soot deposits has been designed. These deposits’ shape and texture vary according to the fuels used. Experimental photometric recordings have, besides, showcased that light ambiances differ according to the fuels. Consequently, the reference database not only helped identifying the fuels of minoan lamps (vegetal oils, animal fats, beeswax) but also their flames’ colour and intensity, based on which some first threedimensions models have been built. A spatial analysis of lamps in their archaeological context, eventually, contributed to define the role of light on the rhythm and the localization of activities from the daily life, sometimes thanks to ethnographic analogies. This is the picture of a preindustrial society that one shall keep in mind: work starts at dawn and ends at dusk. Its rhythm and intensity vary according to seasons, weather and altitude. Lamps lighted, from the evening onwards, and sometimes during daytime, collective and individual activities, inside and outside. However, their flames didn’t permit to see beyond one meter far, suggesting that moving in the dark was common.

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
To improve performance in putting, training aids have been developed for indoor and outdoor applications that help players read greens correctly and hit putts at the intended line and speed. Physical models predict the trajectory of the ball on a given green by using a threedimensional model of the putting surface. The deviation of the read and the putt played to the modelled line (ideal line) is useful feedback to players. An accurate ideal line prediction requires the knowledge of friction parameters that describe the surface-ball interaction, which can be separated into a skid and a roll phase. During the skid phase, the ball experiences an interplay between airborne and sliding. Previous research suggests that with an appropriate skid friction coefficient this interplay can be approximated as one skid phase. The airborne is a result of the vertical launch of the ball, while the sliding is due to the initial angular velocity (𝜔) not matching the initial linear velocity, 𝑣 ≠ 𝜔 ∙ 𝑅. While the ball (with radius 𝑅) skids, linear velocity decreases and angular velocity decreases, until 𝑣 = 𝜔 ∙ 𝑅, from which point pure rolling commences. Parameters describing the skid-roll transition such as skid time, roll ratio, skid and roll friction coefficients can be derived from a velocity-time trace, 𝑣(𝑡), but have not yet been reported for up- or downhill slopes. With the emergence of moving greens, it was possible to investigate the effect of slopes on the skid/roll behaviour more systematically in this study.

description: The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is a ~200 ka interval of global warming beginning at 56.01±0.05Ma associated with a massive perturbation to the worldwide carbon cycle resulting in a global temperature increase of 5-8°C. The PETM is evidenced by a 2-6‰ decrease in global δC¹³ isotope values, a negative carbon isotope excursion (NCIE). This study incorporates sedimentology, ichnology, δC¹³ bulk organic matter isotopes, and biostratigraphy to identify the PETM and younger hyperthermals by examining outcrops and cores from Bastrop and Anderson Counties, TX. Results from this research highlight the significance of creating climate policies/strategies that prioritize the protection of coastal communities vulnerable to the effects of global climate fluctuations. Outcrops containing the Sabinetown-Carrizo Formation transition in Bastrop, TX, were examined using sedimentology/ichnology and 3D models developed from drone photogrammetry. Facies and stratigraphic architecture analyses revealed Sabinetown depositional environments to be coarsening-upward deltaic parasequences. Paleoenvironments include prodelta, distal to proximal mouth bars, tidal channels, fluvial-distributary channels and swamps. The Sabinetown Formation is late Paleocene, based on biostratigraphy. The PETM is identified by a -2.3‰ isotope excursion immediately underlying an Apectodinium acme in a ‘dark band’ exposed intermittently below the Carrizo Formation. The dark band comprises siltstone, lignite, and heavily bioturbated siltstone, recording delta front to offshore deposits. The erosionally based Carrizo deposits comprises large-scale trough crossbedded sandstone containing abundant Ophiomorpha, heavily bioturbated sandstone, and bioturbated heterolithics. Carrizo paleoenvironments are interpreted as proximal tidal delta front, including tidal bars, tidal channels, and distal mouth bars. Carrizo sediments returned no biostratigraphic results (barren). Six cores from Anderson County, TX were selected to refine facies, identify δC¹³ values, biostratigraphy, deposystems, and provide age control to aid regional correlations of the Wilcox/Claiborne groups. Wireline logs, facies, and biostratigraphy indicate that cores are from the Carrizo and Reklaw Formations. A facies analysis identified tidally modified fluvial-deltaic deposits, including distributary channels, mouth bars, inter-distributary bays (Carrizo), and prodelta to offshore shelf deposits (Reklaw). δC¹³ isotopes range from -24.13‰ to -28.54‰, Biostratigraphy indicates that all deposits are latest Ypresian. No PETM NCIE was identified; instead, the NCIE may record younger hyperthermals such as the ETM2 and/or EECO

description: We prove that the solution of the Kac analogue of Boltzmann's equation can be viewed as a probability distribution of a sum of a random number of random variables. This fact allows us to study convergence to equilibrium by means of a few classical statements pertaining to the central limit theorem. In particular, a new proof of the convergence to the Maxwellian distribution is provided, with a rate information both under the sole hypothesis that the initial energy is finite and under the additional condition that the initial distribution has finite moment of order $2+δ$ for some $δ$ in $(0,1]$. Moreover, it is proved that finiteness of initial energy is necessary in order that the solution of Kac's equation can converge weakly. While this statement may seem to be intuitively clear, to our knowledge there is no proof of it as yet.

description: TIntelligent multi agent systems have great potentials to use in different purposes and research areas. One of the important issues to apply intelligent multi agent systems in real world and virtual environment is to develop a framework that support machine learning model to reflect the whole complexity of the real world. In this paper, we proposed a framework of intelligent agent based neural network classification model to solve the problem of gap between two applicable flows of intelligent multi agent technology and learning model from real environment. We consider the new Supervised Multilayers Feed Forward Neural Network (SMFFNN) model as an intelligent classification for learning model in the framework. The framework earns the information from the respective environment and its behavior can be recognized by the weights. Therefore, the SMFFNN model that lies in the framework will give more benefits in finding the suitable information and the real weights from the environment which result for better recognition. The framework is applicable to different domains successfully and for the potential case study, the clinical organization and its domain is considered for the proposed framework

description: We have investigated that the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shifts in frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) studied with wave packet propagation. In the first-order approximation of the transmission coefficient, the GH shift is exactly the expression given by stationary phase method, thus saturates an asymptotic constant in two different ways depending on the angle of incidence. Taking account into the second-order approximation, the GH shift always depends on the width of the air gap due to the modification of the beam width. It is further shown that the GH shift with second-order correction increases with decreasing the beam width at the small incidence angles, while for the large incidence angles it reveals a strong decrease with decreasing the beam width. These phenomena offers the better understanding of the tunneling delay time in FTIR.

description: In quantum dots or molecules with vibrational degrees of freedom the electron-vibron coupling renormalizes the electronic charging energy. For sufficiently strong coupling, the renormalized charging energy can become negative. Here, we discuss an instability towards adding or removing an arbitrary number of electrons when the magnitude of the renormalized charging energy exceeds the single-particle level spacing. We show that the instability is regularized by the anharmonic contribution to the vibron energy. The resulting effective charging energy as a function of the electron number has a double-well structure causing a variety of novel features in the Coulomb blockade properties.

description: We investigate the growth and structure of magnetic fields amplified by kinematic dynamo action in turbulence with non-zero kinetic helicity. We assume a simple Gaussian velocity correlation tensor, which allows us to consider very large magnetic Reynolds numbers, up to one trillion. We use the kinematic Kazantsev-Kraichnan model of dynamo and find a complete numerical solution for the correlation functions of growing magnetic fields.

Income profiles and household composition : a study of two Indian reserves
Creators: name: Thomas, Hervey Philip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The primary objective of this thesis is to examine the relationship between household income dimensions — that is, the amount, size, and kind of income — and associated household types. The relationship between different types of income and total income is also examined. In addition attention is given to a number of other variables which could affect the basic relationship. The main argument associates the nuclear family with skilled wage labour; the extended family with kinship controlled resources; and the consanguineal household with unskilled labour and/or welfare dependence. Hypotheses are stated which suggest the relationship between stability of income with different types of households. Analysis of the household income profiles of two reserves in British Columbia was undertaken in order to test the theory. The two reserves used in the study were Alert Bay Reserve and Skidegate Reserve. Each income source was characterized as being one of six possible types of income: wages, kinship, social services, reciprocity, kind and unearned. Tests consisted of proportion comparisons between households of different types and their associated income profiles. Data was examined separately for each of the reserves. Support was found for the predicted association between high income totals and extended family households. There was some support for the proposition that nuclear families are high per-capita income families, but no support for the proposition that extended family households are low per-capita income households. While there were only a few cases of consanguineal households there was strong support for the proposition that such households are welfare or pension income dependent households. There was no association between income sector dominance and household type. Because the data available did not allow for an examination of skill level and stability of income it was not possible to do a thorough examination of the argument for income dominance and certain household types.

title: Being prepared for an uncertain future with no-regrets: building on lessons learnt from the flooding event in Germany in 2021
Creators: name: Ommer, Joy-Vanessa
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: We are living under deep uncertainty about whether we will experience a hazard one 
day in the future or not. Nowadays, also climate change and its entailing extreme 
weather is adding relevance and urgency to disaster preparedness. Yet, it is easy to 
post-pone the decision on potential preparedness actions for a hazard (which might 
never happen). But how long do we post-pone this decision? 
This thesis aimed to identify ways to encourage citizens to prepare for a future where 
the occurrence of hazards is deeply uncertain. To achieve this aim, this thesis 1)
investigated barriers to individual disaster preparedness through a survey with citizens 
affected by the floods in Germany in 2021; 2) developed a no-regrets framework for 
citizens’ preparedness under uncertainty and one framework to pre-assess potential 
side effects of no-regrets actions (specifically Nature-based Solutions), and 3)
explored practical examples for facilitating the uptake of no-regrets preparedness 
actions. 
The survey highlighted, firstly, the importance of the ability to imagine hazard 
scenarios for individual disaster preparedness; secondly, the need to bridge the 
interface between citizens and local authorities towards collective risk governance, 
and thirdly, that the main regrets of citizens on disaster preparedness are about their 
inaction. This thesis suggests the adoption of the no-regrets approach to guide citizens 
in their disaster preparedness further considering the uncertainty of the future. In this 
regard, the need is raised to focus on long-term preparedness which basically starts 
today. Moreover, the thesis acknowledges that the uptake of a disaster preparedness 
behaviour by citizens needs to be facilitated which further includes motivation. In 
support of this, different ways to promote a disaster preparedness behaviour are 
presented including collective action, knowledge bridging, and motivational 
approaches such as games. Overall, the facilitation needs to primarily focus on 
citizens without previous hazard experience or risk awareness.
