description: Let W be an arbitrary Coxeter group. If two elements have expressions that are cyclic shifts of each other (as words), then they are conjugate (as group elements) in W. We say that w is "cyclically fully commutative" (CFC) if every cyclic shift of any reduced expression for w is fully commutative (i.e., avoids long braid relations). These generalize Coxeter elements in that their reduced expressions can be described combinatorially by acyclic directed graphs, and cyclically shifting corresponds to source-to-sink conversions. In this paper, we explore the combinatorics of the CFC elements and enumerate them in all Coxeter groups. Additionally, we characterize precisely which CFC elements have the property that powers of them remain fully commutative, via the presence of a simple combinatorial feature called a "band." This allows us to give necessary and sufficient conditions for a CFC element w to be "logarithmic," that is, l(w^k) = k l(w) for all k > 0, for a large class of Coxeter groups that includes all affine Weyl groups and simply-laced Coxeter groups. Finally, we give a simple non-CFC element that fails to be logarithmic under these conditions.

description: Few equilibrium --even less so nonequilibrium-- statistical-mechanical models with continuous degrees of freedom can be solved exactly. Classical hard-spheres in infinitely many space dimensions are a notable exception. We show that even without resorting to a Boltzmann distribution, dimensionality is a powerful organizing device to explore the stationary properties of active hard-spheres evolving far from equilibrium. In infinite dimensions, we compute exactly the stationary state properties that govern and characterize the collective behavior of active hard-spheres: the structure factor and the equation of state for the pressure. In turn, this allows us to account for motility-induced phase-separation. Finally, we determine the crowding density at which the effective propulsion of a particle vanishes.

title: Employee Engagement in Corporate Greening: A Study of Front-Line Managers in Belarusian Companies
Creators: name: Andrianova, Olga
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: The study investigates how front-line managers in a post-Soviet context facilitate learning for corporate greening in their organisations. The topic is addressed by applying situated learning theory, using two concepts – community of practice and boundary objects. Belarus was selected as the country of study because it is a representative example of a post-Soviet transition economy. Using a multiple case study approach, 52 semi-structured interviews among front-line managers, meeting observations and photographs were collected in three chemical plants in Belarus. Template analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings of this study reveal ‘corporate greening’ as a boundary maker in the learning environment which produces three possible boundaries across values, agendas and priorities alignment. In their boundary work, Belarussian front-line managers employ three boundary objects – visionary, structural and market-related – constructed by post-Soviet socio-historical influences to facilitate learning by encouraging an affinity to the national identity and environment, developing shared infrastructure for discussion, but also facilitating a transition from a Soviet type of thinking to a post-Soviet mindset regarding recognising business opportunities for ‘green’ business practices. These include the practices for: working with other departments; constructing an image of themselves as educators; and ensuring that ‘green’ activities are sufficiently aligned with both the organisation's and the governmental view. This study contributes to situated learning by showing that front-line managers use opportunities in the boundaries for further community growth by ‘re-purposing’ existing practices inherited from the Soviet Union, or creating new facilitation practices, to maintain ‘conversations’ around corporate greening. These findings also contribute to a better understanding of the practical challenges of front-line managers as facilitators of learning for corporate greening in the complex and interrelated socio-historical learning environment. In addition, the results of the study are valuable for managers who are looking to increase employee engagement in corporate greening.
Black Female Entrepreneurs in Jamaica : Defying the (In)visible Barriers and Succeeding

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This paper examines the factors that affect Black female entrepreneurs in Jamaica through the lens of slavery, colonialism, gender, race, class and the impact of the International Monetary Fund’s predatory neoliberal policies. In addition, the essay includes a literature review that shows the impact of these factors on Black female business owners in the Caribbean and the US, but the US is not included in analysis of the IMF. While secondary and primary sources were used, the primary sources produced more up-to-date and relevant information for this paper, particularly for Jamaica. The research portrayed that slavery and colonialism laid the foundation on which gender, race and class is structured for Black female business owners today. It also showed the consequences of these imposed systematic structures on the business women in the informal and formal sectors. Additionally, the essay illustrated that the predatory neoliberal policies of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has had adverse effects on the economy which in turn impacts the establishment and growth of Black female entrepreneurship. The essay demonstrates in the form of case studies the various successful encounter measures that the group of informal commercial importers from the informal sector and three entrepreneurs from the formal arena, deployed. This feat was achieved partly because the government implemented a monetary policy that created a positive economy.
Topological superconducting phases and Josephson effect in curved time-reversal-invariant superconductors

description: We consider a Rashba spin-orbit coupled nanowire with anisotropic spin-singlet superconducting pairing and time-reversal-invariant symmetry. We explore the evolution of the topological superconducting phases of this system due to geometric deformations for the representative case of a wire bent in a semielliptical shape. We find that when the system is in its topological superconducting phase, strong inhomogeneities in the profile curvature can produce a pair of localized eigenmodes, which can be attributed to a nonuniform topological phase. The curved geometric profile also allows to tune the spin correlations of the superconducting state via the induced inhomogeneity of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The geometric control of the superconducting pair correlations allows to manipulate the critical current in Josephson junctions made up of two time reversal invariant topological superconductors separated by a spin-orbit coupled normal metal. In particular, we find that the curvature inhomogeneity can be exploited for amplifying the current intensity, but also to generate a $0-π$ transition, and a second harmonic contribution, which generates, for some specific geometric configurations, a $φ$-junction behavior.

description: In this work, we study the line and loop operators in three-dimensional ${\mathcal N}=2$ fishnet theories in detail. We construct the straight line and circular loop operators which are at least classically half-BPS. We develop a new regularization scheme at frame $-1$ which is suitable for the study of the fermionic BPS loops in general super-Chern-Simons-matter theories. We initialize the perturbative computation for the vacuum expectation values of the circular BPS loop operators based on this scheme. We construct the cusped line operators as well, and compute the vacuum expectation values of these cusped line operators up to two-loop order. We find that the universal cusp anomalous dimension vanishes, if we put aside the fact that the generalized potential has a double pole in the $1/ε$ expansion.

description: We study two impartial games introduced by Anderson and Harary and further developed by Barnes. Both games are played by two players who alternately select previously unselected elements of a finite group. The first player who builds a generating set from the jointly selected elements wins the first game. The first player who cannot select an element without building a generating set loses the second game. After the development of some general results, we determine the nim-numbers of these games for abelian and dihedral groups. We also present some conjectures based on computer calculations. Our main computational and theoretical tool is the structure diagram of a game, which is a type of identification digraph of the game digraph that is compatible with the nim-numbers of the positions. Structure diagrams also provide simple yet intuitive visualizations of these games that capture the complexity of the positions.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The work concerns the reduction of greenhouse gas emission thanks to renewable energy sources (RES) utilized in selected municipalities of the Lubelskie Province. The aim of the study was to assess the consistency between the tasks provided in low-emission economy plans (LEEP) and the strategic documents on RES, especially biomass. The investment priorities of municipalities regarding RES and the impact of these investments on the emission of CO2 have been presented. Materials and methods: The analysis covered 8 LEEPs and programming documents: EU, national and regional ones concerning RES. Results: EU and Polish policy contribute to the development of RES, including biomass, under the condition that their negative effect on the environment, resulting especially from biomass burning, is limited. Municipalities intend mainly to use solar energy, yet the technologies of biomass they suggest are not always in line with new trends. Conclusions: Measures limiting the emission of greenhouse gases, including the use of RES, are provided in the analysed LEEPs. However, some municipalities intend to produce energy from biomass, mainly in the process of combustion. As this is not in line with the latest EU recommendations, such plans should then be verified.

 Notes. Müller (1954: 308) writes that this specimen “… unquestionably belongs to the group of East African Tribalus species related to [T.] fastigiatus Marseul and probably stands close to [T.] impressibasis Bickhardt from the Erer Valley in NE Abyssinia”, of which he could previously examine the type deposited in the collections of the Museum of Budapest. In his opinion, the specimen from Yemen “… agrees with [T.] impressibasis in all fundamental characters, except for the pronotal puncturation stronger and closer” (original text in German).

description: We propose a new lack-of-fit test for quantile regression models that is suitable even with high-dimensional covariates. The test is based on the cumulative sum of residuals with respect to unidimensional linear projections of the covariates. The test adapts concepts proposed by Escanciano (Econometric Theory, 22, 2006) to cope with many covariates to the test proposed by He and Zhu (Journal of the American Statistical Association, 98, 2003). To approximate the critical values of the test, a wild bootstrap mechanism is used, similar to that proposed by Feng et al. (Biometrika, 98, 2011). An extensive simulation study was undertaken that shows the good performance of the new test, particularly when the dimension of the covariate is high. The test can also be applied and performs well under heteroscedastic regression models. The test is illustrated with real data about the economic growth of 161 countries.

Erhebung krautiger Vegetation renaturierter Flussauen mittels Flora Incognita am Beispiel Hufeisen Sierndorf

description: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to find out whether the Flora Incognita app and Ellenberg's method of ecological indicator values are suitable for use by citizen scientists to assess the state of renaturalisation of floodplains. It is investigated to what extent the various sites in the Sierndorfer Hufeisen study area differ in terms of herbaceous vegetation and whether the indicator values can provide information about the condition of the habitats or not. Furthermore, it will be explored what statements generally can be made about the condition of renaturalised floodplains with a rough on-site survey and the use of apps such as Flora Incognita and what should be considered if this is done by citizen scientists. In the area studied, the herbaceous vegetation at five different locations along a moisture gradient was analysed in more detail. The plants were identified using the AI plant recognition app Flora Incognita. The ecological indicator values of the identified plants were then determined in six categories. An attempt was made to compare the sites on the basis of the mean ecological indicator values. The results show that the herbaceous vegetation at the various sites differs greatly from one another, both in the type of plants and in the number of species. Furthermore, the mean ecological indicator values according to Ellenberg provide initial indications of the vegetation analysed in the Sierndorfer Hufeisen. There are significant differences between the analysed sites, particularly in the categories "moisture" and "nitrogen". Finally, it can be concluded from the results that the use of Flora Incognita is suitable for roughly recording the vegetation conditions of renaturalised floodplains. Even if the app is not flawless, the potential for citizen scientists is great.

description: Waste is a wealth in a wrong place. Our research focuses on analyzing possibilities for automatic waste sorting and collecting in such a way that helps it for further recycling process. Various approaches are being practiced managing waste but not efficient and require human intervention. The automatic waste segregation would fit in to fill the gap. The project tested well known Deep Learning Network architectures for waste classification with dataset combined from own endeavors and Trash Net. The convolutional neural network is used for image classification. The hardware built in the form of dustbin is used to segregate those wastes into different compartments. Without the human exercise in segregating those waste products, the study would save the precious time and would introduce the automation in the area of waste management. Municipal solid waste is a huge, renewable source of energy. The situation is win-win for both government, society and industrialists. Because of fine-tuning of the ResNet18 Network, the best validation accuracy was found to be 87.8%.

description: Recent investigations of fractal conductance fluctuations (FCF) in electron billiards reveal crucial discrepancies between experimental behavior and the semiclassical Landauer-Buttiker (SLB) theory that predicted their existence. In particular, the roles played by the billiard's geometry, potential profile and the resulting electron trajectory distribution are not well understood. We present measurements on two custom-made devices - a 'disrupted' billiard device and a 'bilayer' billiard device - designed to probe directly these three characteristics. Our results demonstrate that intricate processes beyond those proposed in the SLB theory are required to explain FCF.

title: Determination of Organ Specific Pharmacokinetic Data for the Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs in Guinea Pigs Using Microdialysis
Creators: name: Lanni, Faye Rachel
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: There is a need for innovative and optimised pre-clinical models in the TB drug development pipeline to better predict the pharmacokinetics of candidate anti-TB drugs in vivo to shorten the time taken for novel drugs and treatment combinations to be approved for clinical trial, Microdialysis can be used in awake freely moving animals to describe the pharmacokinetic behaviour of drugs in the organs as a continuous sampling technique. It is the only technique available that collects the unbound pharmacologically relevant portion of the drug. The aim of this PhD was to develop and optimise the microdialysis methodology in the guinea pig model to better understand the pharmacokinetics of anti-TB drugs in the lung.

 Meticulous in vitro experiments were performed with each drug before progressing into in vivo experiments because the recovery (concentration of the drug in the tissue fluid related to that in the collected dialysate) of the drug is dependent upon a variety of experimental conditions. Mass spectrometry of the dialysate was used to determine the impact of flow rate, perfusion fluid, and the molecular weight cut-off and membrane length of probes on the recovery of ethambutol, isoniazid and rifampicin at physiologically relevant concentrations. Following identification of a strong correlation between rifampicin concentrations in the clinically relevant lung and the sacrospinalis (site of probe implantation) and confirmation of the calculated probe efficiency (21±9%), an in vivo microdialysis experiment was designed to measure rifampicin concentrations in the sacrospinalis.

 Four guinea pigs were dialysed for four hours. Guinea pigs were ear bled and relevant organs taken at necropsy to compare total vs unbound drug concentrations. Blood concentrations did not reflect the concentrations of rifampicin in the organs.

These data have been compared with the predictions of two pQCD methods: the former method use the information about the $J/ψ$ wave function, the latter one do not use such information and is based on the quark-hadron duality hypothesis. Both these calculation methods lead to essential discrepancy between the theoretic predictions and the experimental data. The production cross section dependence on effective gluon mass has been investigated for the process $e^+e^-\to J/ψ+gg$. The production cross section of doubly charmed baryons $Ξ^{*}_{cc}$ has been estimated.

description: (abridged) The ambiguous origin of [CII] 158um in the interstellar medium complicates its use for diagnostics concerning the star-formation rate and physical conditions in photodissociation regions (PDRs). We observed the giant HII region N11 in the Large Magellanic Cloud with SOFIA/GREAT in order to investigate the origin of [CII] to obtain the total H2 gas content, the fraction of CO-dark H2 gas, and the influence of environmental effects such as stellar feedback. We present an innovative spectral decomposition method that allows statistical trends to be derived. The [CII] line is resolved in velocity and compared to HI and CO, using a Bayesian approach to decompose the profiles. A simple model accounting for collisions in the neutral atomic and molecular gas was used in order to derive the H2 column density traced by C+. The profile of [CII] most closely resembles that of CO, but the integrated [CII] line width lies between that of CO and that of HI. Using various methods, we find that [CII] mostly originates from the neutral gas. We show that [CII] mostly traces the CO-dark H2 gas but there is evidence of a weak contribution from neutral atomic gas preferentially in the faintest components. Most of the molecular gas is CO-dark. The fraction of CO-dark H2 gas decreases with increasing CO column density, with a slope that seems to depend on the impinging radiation field from nearby massive stars. Finally we extend previous measurements of the photoelectric-effect heating efficiency, which we find is constant across regions probed with Herschel, with [CII] and [OI] being the main coolants in faint and diffuse, and bright and compact regions, respectively, and with PAH emission tracing the CO-dark H2 gas heating where [CII] and [OI] emit. Our study highlights the importance of velocity-resolved PDR diagnostics and higher spatial resolution for HI observations.

title: Terahertz Desorption Emission Spectroscopy

description: Enhancing our understanding of the formation and evolution of the Universe is strongly dependent upon the observation of matter that exists between the stars and that forms the interstellar medium (ISM). Using Radio-telescopes based on heterodyne detection (such as ALMA), nearly 200 molecules have been detected. Whilst molecules, such as H2O and CH3OH, can only form in the solid state, the formation of complex organic molecules is not fully known. Moreover many simple species desorb from ices during the star formation process being useful tracers of these astronomical processes, but only if the thermal and non-thermal desorption mechanisms are fully understood.

 In this thesis, I have designed, developed, built and proven a new experimental technique, namely Terahertz Desorption Emission Spectroscopy (THz-DES). The basis of THz-DES is to recreate the chemical conditions found in interstellar environments by emulating the astronomical detection techniques. The emission spectroscopy is based on the integration of a total-power Schottky-barrier based radiometer operating between 320-350 GHz (overlapping with ALMA band 7), coupled to a vacuum chamber where interstellar ice analogues can be grown on a 77 K cold-finger, then thermally desorbed, enabling the gas-ice synergy to identify molecular spectra and desorption energies.

 I demonstrate the versatility of the technique observing thermal desorption from pure, layered or mixed ices of nitrous oxide, water and methanol. The results are compared to existing literature values of the desorption energies, and the known spectral features. Finally, there is some evidence that certain energy levels of desorbing species are under-populated relative to the population expected in local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. This impact of surface constrains on the dynamics and internal energy of desorbing molecules, largely ignored in astronomy, shows interesting promise for the future of the THz-DES technique.

description: The properties of interior spacetimes sourced by stationary cylindrical anisotropic fluids are here analytically studied for both nonrigid and rigid rotation. As regards nonrigid rotation, this is, to our knowledge, the first work dedicated to such a study. We give here a complete equation set describing these spacetime properties. In particular, we focus our attention on both nonrigid and rigid rotation gravito-electromagnetic features and are thus led to display strong hints in favor of conjecturing purely electric Weyl tensor existence in this framework. We have also been able to characterize new purely magnetic physically consistent spacetimes and have found new rigidly rotating exact solution classes to the five Einstein's field equations pertaining to the issue and the two purely magnetic constraints we have derived for this purpose. This should be considered as a prominent result, since extremely few purely magnetic exact solutions are available in the literature.

description: To advance fundamental understanding, and ultimate application, of transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers, it is essential to develop capabilities for the synthesis of high-quality single-layer samples. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), a leading technique for the fabrication of the highest-quality epitaxial films of conventional semiconductors has, however, typically yielded only small grain sizes and sub-optimal morphologies when applied to the van der Waals growth of monolayer TMDs. Here, we present a systematic study on the influence of adatom mobility, growth rate, and metal:chalcogen flux on the growth of NbSe2, VSe2 and TiSe2 using MBE. Through this, we identify the key drivers and influence of the adatom kinetics that control the epitaxial growth of TMDs, realising four distinct morphologies of the as-grown compounds. We use this to determine optimised growth conditions for the fabrication of high-quality monolayers, ultimately realising the largest grain sizes of monolayer TMDs that have been achieved to date via MBE growth.

description: The Temperley--Lieb algebra is a finite dimensional associative algebra that arose in the context of statistical mechanics and occurs naturally as a quotient of the Hecke algebra arising from a Coxeter group of type $A$. It is often realized in terms of a certain diagram algebra, where every diagram can be written as a product of "simple diagrams." These factorizations correspond precisely to factorizations of the so-called fully commutative elements of the Coxeter group that index a particular basis. Given a reduced factorization of a fully commutative element, it is straightforward to construct the corresponding diagram. On the other hand, it is generally difficult to reconstruct the factorization given an arbitrary diagram. We present an efficient algorithm for obtaining a reduced factorization for a given diagram.

description: Humanity today faces one of the most complex issues of its time: climate change. This natural phenomenon has been shown to have significant impacts on people’s health. As a trusted profession, nursing has the capacity and expertise to position itself in a way that advocates for health promotion and disease prevention practices in a changing climate. Nurses are encouraged to embrace the interconnectedness between the environment and human health at the core of their practice. Through an extensive review of the literature, I have developed a lesson plan that nurse educators can use to teach climate change topics in both clinical and university settings. Several resources from the planetary health field were used to guide my development of the lesson plan. Its overall intent is to introduce learners to key aspects of climate change and their impact on human health, alongside emphasizing where nursing fits within this field. Educational tool that can be used by nurse educators in both university and clinical-based settings to teach about the linkages between climate change and human health, with an emphasis on where nursing as a profession is positioned in this realm.

description: Mathematical models are widely recognized as a valuable tool for cardiovascular diagnosis and the study of circulatory diseases, especially to obtain data that require otherwise invasive measurements. To correctly simulate body hemodynamics, the viscoelastic properties of vessel walls are a key aspect to be taken into account as they play an essential role in cardiovascular behavior. The present work aims to apply the augmented fluid-structure interaction system of blood flow to real case studies to assess the validity of the model as a valuable resource to improve cardiovascular diagnostics and the treatment of pathologies. First, the ability of the model to correctly simulate pulse waveforms in single arterial segments is verified using literature benchmark test cases. Such cases are designed taking into account a simple elastic behavior of the wall in the upper thoracic aorta and in the common carotid artery. Furthermore, in-vivo pressure waveforms, extracted from tonometric measurements performed on four human common carotid arteries and two common femoral arteries, are compared to numerical solutions. It is highlighted that the viscoelastic damping effect of arterial walls is required to avoid an overestimation of pressure peaks. An effective procedure to estimate the viscoelastic parameters of the model is herein proposed, which returns hysteresis curves of the common carotid arteries dissipating energy fractions in line with values calculated from literature hysteresis loops in the same vessel.

description: Using the standard Coxeter presentation for the symmetric group $S_n$, two reduced expressions for the same group element are said to be commutation equivalent if we can obtain one expression from the other by applying a finite sequence of commutations. The resulting equivalence classes of reduced expressions are called commutation classes. How many commutation classes are there for the longest element in $S_n$?
