The Manor and Advowson of Medbourne, 1086-1550

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 13, 91-135
description: The early history of Medbourne is singularly complicated. Not only does it involve two separate estates, representing the property which at Domesday was held by the Crown and by the lords of Belvoir respectively ; but one of these was split up at a later date by a partition between four co-heiresses which makes its history difficult to unravel. This partition is of more than local importance, as it concerned a very large mass of property in various parts of England, but concentrated in the Midlands, which had been acquired by a celebrated minister of state in the reigns of Henry III and Edward I. The attempt which is made here to trace the descent of the various shares has therefore the practical effect of clearing up the history of a large number of manors in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and other counties, which were subject to the same partition. For the later history of Medbourne, Nichols' account may be consulted ; but the general untrustworthiness and casual nature of his work upon the earlier period, of which a conspicuous example will be found noted below, make the work of revision, aided by a large number of documents which he never consulted, as necessary here as elsewhere.

description: We demonstrate an enhancement in the vortex generation when artificial gauge potential is introduced to condensates confined in a double well potential. This is due to the lower energy required to create a vortex in the low condensate density region within the barrier. Furthermore, we study the transport of vortices between the two wells, and show that the traverse time for vortices is longer for the lower height of the well. We also show that the critical value of synthetic magnetic field to inject vortices into the bulk of the condensate is lower in the double-well potential compared to the harmonic confining potential.

Probing Quantum States with Momentum Boosts

description: We present a technique to diagnose the condensate fraction in a one-dimensional optical lattice of weakly interacting bosons based on the dynamics of the trapped atoms under the influence of a momentum kick. It is shown using the Multi-Configuration Time Dependent Hartree method for Bosons (MCTDHB) that the two extreme cases of the superfluid and Mott insulator states exhibit different behaviors when the lattice is briefly tilted. The current induced by the momentum boost caused by the tilt which depends directly on the amount of phase coherence between the lattice sites is linearly proportional to the condensate fraction. The atom-atom interactions only change the slope of the linear relationship. We discuss the applications of this scheme in magnetic field gradiometery.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 13, 199-244
description: The history of Holt for the first one hundred and fifty years after the Conquest is very obscure. The place is not mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 or in the incomplete survey of the county of Leicester taken between 1124 and 1129. In these early years the only information which we can get concerning Holt comes from the distant village of Barleston, where in 1086 it was returned that Geoffrey held under Robert de Buci one carucate and one virgate of land. The entire fief of Robert de Buci subsequently came into the hands of king Henry I, whether by forfeiture or for some unknown reason, and the larger part, in� cluding this small fee in Barleston, was granted by the king to Richard Basset, his justiciar.
Mixtures of Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and Mixtures of Skew-t Distributions for Model-Based Clustering with Incomplete Data

description: Robust clustering from incomplete data is an important topic because, in many practical situations, real data sets are heavy-tailed, asymmetric, and/or have arbitrary patterns of missing observations. Flexible methods and algorithms for model-based clustering are presented via mixture of the generalized hyperbolic distributions and its limiting case, the mixture of multivariate skew-t distributions. An analytically feasible EM algorithm is formulated for parameter estimation and imputation of missing values for mixture models employing missing at random mechanisms. The proposed methodologies are investigated through a simulation study with varying proportions of synthetic missing values and illustrated using a real dataset. Comparisons are made with those obtained from the traditional mixture of generalized hyperbolic distribution counterparts by filling in the missing data using the mean imputation method.

description: Hallaton is an ancient township and parish in the hundred of Gartree, sequestered and remote, sixteen miles east-south-east from Leicester. It has still an old world air, with several sub�stantial houses of stone, and others of brick, thatched and ivy- clad, suggesting peaceful and comfortable homes of villagers moderately prosperous. Its sloping green with ancient well-head, its castle hill with indications of an encampment, and its fine church, standing high above the general level, sheltered by tall chestnuts and yews, seem to retain the records of an interesting and long-dated history, with which are bound up those of the three manors of Engayne, Bardolf and Hackluit.

description: The emergence of a large-scale stellar bar is one of the most striking features in disc galaxies. By means of state-of-the-art cosmological zoom-in simulations, we study the formation and evolution of bars in Milky Way-like galaxies in a fully cosmological context, including the physics of gas dissipation, star formation, and supernova feedback. Our goal is to characterise the actual trigger of the non-axisymmetric perturbation that leads to the strong bar observable in the simulations at z=0, discriminating between an internal/secular versus an external/tidal origin. To this aim, we run a suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations altering the original history of galaxy-satellite interactions at a time when the main galaxy, though already bar-unstable, does not feature any non-axisymmetric structure yet. We find that the main effect of a late minor merger and of a close fly-by is to delay the time of bar formation and those two dynamical events are not directly responsible for the development of the bar and do not alter significantly its global properties (e.g. its final extension). We conclude that, once the disc has grown to a mass large enough to sustain global non-axisymmetric modes, then bar formation is inevitable.

Dynamical structure of entangled polymers simulated under shear flow

description: The non-linear response of entangled polymers to shear flow is complicated. Its current understanding is framed mainly as a rheological description in terms of the complex viscosity. However, the full picture requires an assessment of the dynamical structure of individual polymer chains which give rise to the macroscopic observables. Here we shed new light on this problem, using a computer simulation based on a blob model, extended to describe shear flow in polymer melts and semi-dilute solutions. We examine the diffusion and the intermediate scattering spectra during a steady shear flow. The relaxation dynamics are found to speed up along the flow direction, but slow down along the shear gradient direction. The third axis, vorticity, shows a slowdown at the short scale of a tube, but reaches a net speedup at the large scale of the chain radius of gyration.

description: The key component in forecasting demand and consumption of resources in a supply network is an accurate prediction of real-valued time series. Indeed, both service interruptions and resource waste can be reduced with the implementation of an effective forecasting system. Significant research has thus been devoted to the design and development of methodologies for short term load forecasting over the past decades. A class of mathematical models, called Recurrent Neural Networks, are nowadays gaining renewed interest among researchers and they are replacing many practical implementation of the forecasting systems, previously based on static methods. Despite the undeniable expressive power of these architectures, their recurrent nature complicates their understanding and poses challenges in the training procedures. Recently, new important families of recurrent architectures have emerged and their applicability in the context of load forecasting has not been investigated completely yet. In this paper we perform a comparative study on the problem of Short-Term Load Forecast, by using different classes of state-of-the-art Recurrent Neural Networks. We test the reviewed models first on controlled synthetic tasks and then on different real datasets, covering important practical cases of study. We provide a general overview of the most important architectures and we define guidelines for configuring the recurrent networks to predict real-valued time series.

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a member of the interleukin-1 cytokine family. Its function in regulating microglial M1/M2 polarization in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is still unelucidated. To evaluate the role of IL-33 in NMOSD, we constructed NMOSD mice model by injecting purified serum IgG from AQP4-IgG seropositive NMOSD patients into experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice, and IL-33 was intraperitoneally injected into NMOSD mice 3 d before the model induction. We found that pretreatment of the NMOSD mice with IL-33 relieved brain neuron loss, and demyelination and improved the structure of neurons, astrocytes, axons, and mitochondria. In the neuronal and microglial coculture system, pretreatment with IL-33 in microglia alleviated NMOSD serum-induced inflammation and damaged morphology in cultured neurons. IL-33 transformed microglia to the M2 phenotype, and NMOSD serum promoted microglia to the M1 phenotype in cultured BV2 cells. Moreover, IL-33 influenced microglial polarity via the IL-33/ST2 pathway. IL-33 may be a novel insight useful for further developing NMOSD-targeted therapy and drug development.

description: We prove the almost sure invariance principle with rate $o(n^{\varepsilon})$ for every $\varepsilon > 0$ for Hölder continuous observables on nonuniformly expanding and nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations with exponential tails. Examples include Gibbs-Markov maps with big images, Axiom A diffeomorphisms, dispersing billiards and a class of logistic and Hénon maps. The best previously proved rate is $O(n^{1/4} (\log n)^{1/2} (\log \log n)^{1/4})$. As a part of our method, we show that nonuniformly expanding transformations are factors of Markov shifts with simple structure and natural metric (similar to the classical Young towers). The factor map is Lipschitz continuous and probability measure preserving. For this we do not require the exponential tails.

description: How do isolated quantum systems approach an equilibrium state? We experimentally and theoretically address this question for a prototypical spin system formed by ultracold atoms prepared in two Rydberg states with different orbital angular momenta. By coupling these states with a resonant microwave driving we realize a dipolar XY spin-1/2 model in an external field. Starting from a spin-polarized state we suddenly switch on the external field and monitor the subsequent many-body dynamics. Our key observation is density dependent relaxation of the total magnetization much faster than typical decoherence rates. To determine the processes governing this relaxation we employ different theoretical approaches which treat quantum effects on initial conditions and dynamical laws separately. This allows us to identify an intrinsically quantum component to the relaxation attributed to primordial quantum fluctuations.

I am not concerned with any other of the interesting aspects of Charnwood, such as its geology, which can safely be left to Dr. Lowe and Dr. Bennett, who are experts on the formation of the Charnwood rocks; nor with its archaeology, a rather difficult subject which, owing to the total absence of any documents to enlighten us as to its history in pre-conquest times, I had better leave to some more imaginative romancer; nor with the etymology of the place-names in Charnwood, such as High Cademan, which may have had a Keltic origin, nor what use the Druids may have made of Charnwood

description: Recent developments in the relationship between bulk topology and surface crystal symmetry have led to the discovery of materials whose gapless surface states are protected by crystal symmetries. In fact, there exists only a very limited set of possible surface crystal symmetries, captured by the 17 "wallpaper groups." We show that a consideration of symmetry-allowed band degeneracies in the wallpaper groups can be used to understand previous topological crystalline insulators, as well as to predict new examples. In particular, the two wallpaper groups with multiple glide lines, $pgg$ and $p4g$, allow for a new topological insulating phase, whose surface spectrum consists of only a single, fourfold-degenerate, true Dirac fermion. Like the surface state of a conventional topological insulator, the surface Dirac fermion in this "nonsymmorphic Dirac insulator" provides a theoretical exception to a fermion doubling theorem. Unlike the surface state of a conventional topological insulator, it can be gapped into topologically distinct surface regions while keeping time-reversal symmetry, allowing for networks of topological surface quantum spin Hall domain walls. We report the theoretical discovery of new topological crystalline phases in the A$_2$B$_3$ family of materials in SG 127, finding that Sr$_2$Pb$_3$ hosts this new topological surface Dirac fermion. Furthermore, (100)-strained Au$_2$Y$_3$ and Hg$_2$Sr$_3$ host related topological surface hourglass fermions. We also report the presence of this new topological hourglass phase in Ba$_5$In$_2$Sb$_6$ in SG 55. For orthorhombic space groups with two glides, we catalog all possible bulk topological phases by a consideration of the allowed non-abelian Wilson loop connectivities, and we develop topological invariants for these systems. Finally, we show how in a particular limit, these crystalline phases reduce to copies of the SSH model.

description: For a matroid $N$, a matroid $M$ is $N$-connected if every two elements of $M$ are in an $N$-minor together. Thus a matroid is connected if and only if it is $U_{1,2}$-connected. This paper proves that $U_{1,2}$ is the only connected matroid $N$ such that if $M$ is $N$-connected with $|E(M)| > |E(N)|$, then $M \backslash e$ or $M / e$ is $N$-connected for all elements $e$. Moreover, we show that $U_{1,2}$ and $M(\mathcal{W}_2)$ are the only connected matroids $N$ such that, whenever a matroid has an $N$-minor using $\{e,f\}$ and an $N$-minor using $\{f,g\}$, it also has an $N$-minor using $\{e,g\}$. Finally, we show that $M$ is $U_{0,1} \oplus U_{1,1}$-connected if and only if every clonal class of $M$ is trivial.

Testing and non-linear preconditioning of the proximal point method
Creators: name: Valkonen, Tuomo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Employing the ideas of non-linear preconditioning and testing of the classical proximal point method, we formalise common arguments in convergence rate and convergence proofs of optimisation methods to the verification of a simple iteration-wise inequality. When applied to fixed point operators, the latter can be seen as a generalisation of firm non-expansivity or the $α$-averaged property. The main purpose of this work is to provide the abstract background theory for our companion paper "Block-proximal methods with spatially adapted acceleration". In the present account we demonstrate the effectiveness of the general approach on several classical algorithms, as well as their stochastic variants. Besides, of course, the proximal point method, these method include the gradient descent, forward--backward splitting, Douglas--Rachford splitting, Newton's method, as well as several methods for saddle-point problems, such as the Alternating Directions Method of Multipliers, and the Chambolle--Pock method.

description: In the first part of the present paper (theoretical), the activation of out-of-equilibrium collective oscillations of a macromolecule is described as a classical phonon condensation phenomenon. If a macromolecule is modeled as an open system, that is, it is subjected to an external energy supply and is in contact with a thermal bath to dissipate the excess energy, the internal nonlinear couplings among the normal modes make the system undergo a non-equilibrium phase transition when the energy input rate exceeds a threshold value. This transition takes place between a state where the energy is incoherently distributed among the normal modes, to a state where the input energy is channeled into the lowest frequency mode entailing a coherent oscillation of the entire molecule. The model put forward in the present work is derived as the classical counterpart of a quantum model proposed long time ago by H. Fröhlich in the attempt to explain the huge speed of enzymatic reactions. In the second part of the present paper (experimental), we show that such a phenomenon is actually possible. Two different and complementary THz near-field spectroscopic techniques, a plasmonic rectenna, and a micro-wire near-field probe, have been used in two different labs to get rid of artefacts. By considering a aqueous solution of a model protein, the BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin), we found that this protein displays a remarkable absorption feature around 0.314 THz, when driven in a stationary out-of-thermal equilibrium state by means of optical pumping. The experimental outcomes are in very good qualitative agreement with the theory developed in the first part, and in excellent quantitative agreement with a theoretical result allowing to identify the observed spectral feature with a collective oscillation of the entire molecule.

description: We consider robust control synthesis for linear systems with complex specifications that are affected by uncertain disturbances. This work is motivated by autonomous systems interacting with partially known, time-varying environments. Given a specification in bounded linear temporal logic, we propose a method to synthesize control policies that fulfill the specification for all considered disturbances, where the disturbances affect the atomic propositions of the specification. Our approach relies on introducing affine disturbance feedback policies and casting the problem as a bilinear optimization problem. We introduce an inner approximation of the constraint set leading to a mixed-integer quadratic program that can be solved using general-purpose solvers. The framework is demonstrated on a numerical case study with applications to autonomous driving.

description: When several two-sided matching markets merge into one, it is inevitable that some agents will become worse off if the matching mechanism used is stable. I formalize this observation by defining the property of integration monotonicity, which requires that every agent becomes better off after any number of matching markets merge. Integration monotonicity is also incompatible with the weaker efficiency property of Pareto optimality. Nevertheless, I obtain two possibility results. First, stable matching mechanisms never hurt more than one-half of the society after the integration of several matching markets occurs. Second, in random matching markets there are positive expected gains from integration for both sides of the market, which I quantify.

description: Representation theory of the quantum torus Hopf algebra, when the parameter $q$ is a root of unity, is studied. We investigate a decomposition map of the tensor product of two irreducibles into the direct sum of irreducibles, realized as a `multiplicity module' tensored with an irreducible representation. The isomorphism between the two possible decompositions of the triple tensor product yields a map ${\bf T}$ between the multiplicity modules, called the 6j-symbols. We study the left and right dual representations, and correspondingly, the left and right representations on the ${\rm Hom}$ spaces of linear maps between representations. Using the isomorphisms of irreducibles to left and right duals, we construct a map ${\bf A}$ on a multiplicity module, encoding the permutation of the roles of the irreducible representations in the identification of the multiplicity module as the space of intertwiners between representations. We show that ${\bf T}$ and ${\bf A}$ satisfy certain consistency relations, forming a Kashaev-type quantization of the Teichmüller spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces. All constructions and proofs in the present work uses only plain representation theoretic language with the help of the notions of the left and the right dual and Hom representations, and therefore can be applied easily to other Hopf algebras for future works.

description: At the time of the Henrician Reformation there were almost 500 parochial clergy ministering to the needs of the people in the archdeaconry of Leicester. As a class the clergy were accused at the time, and by many historians since, of neglecting these ministrations grossly. The accusations were that the better educated clerks held several livings in plurality, and consequently were largely non-resident; such men were frequently servants of church or state, and their benefices were easily-exploited sources of revenue. The avaricious absentees nevertheless extorted tithes and payments for every kind of service which they themselves did not perform.
The Dynasty Builders of Victorian Leicester

description: The ousting of the old Tory Corporation of Leicester by a rising group of Radical Dissenters in 1836 is well known. The tremendous struggle between the established and the outsiders has been described in considerable detail by a wide range of historians, both amateur and professional, from those who were personally involved in the process to those who are able to take a more detached view in this century. James Thompson, George Searson, Mrs. Fielding-Johnson, R. W. Greaves, A. Temple Patterson and Professor Jack Simmons all give versions of the same story, the triumph over corruption by a new honest and God-fearing business 'aristocracy'. However, none of these commentators inquire into the means whereby the new wielders of authority in Leicester society maintained their control. The Radical Dissenters or the Liberal Non-Conformists, as they came to be known later, dominated town politics, industry, religious institutions and voluntary work for the entirety of Victoria's reign. How was this dominance maintained?
Ubiquitous quasi-Fuchsian surfaces in cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds

description: This paper proves that every finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M contains a ubiquitous collection of closed, immersed, quasi-Fuchsian surfaces. These surfaces are ubiquitous in the sense that their preimages in the universal cover separate any pair of disjoint, non-asymptotic geodesic planes. The proof relies in a crucial way on the corresponding theorem of Kahn and Markovic for closed 3-manifolds. As a corollary of this result and a companion statement about surfaces with cusps, we recover Wise's theorem that the fundamental group of M acts freely and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex.

description: Donington Park is one of the outstanding examples of a late eighteenth century Gothic country house and landscaped park. The involvement of Humphry Repton in the design of the Hall and Park is unclear. Although he does not appear to have been asked to provide any designs, he did receive a number of payments from Lord Rawdon. After a study of the evolution of the deer park from the twelfth century, Repton's involvement is discussed in detail, followed by an account of the decline of the Hall and Park to the modem period.

Social Advancement through Seignorial Service?

description: The vagaries of documentary survival have ensured that our view of the gentry as a group within later medieval society will always be weighted in favour of their administrative activities. Thus, while we must acknowledge that a characterisation of the gentry as county officials is to a certain extent inevitable, there are dangers that an overemphasis on this aspect could lead to a distorted impression of the gentry as a social group in two major ways. First there is the problem of isolating this class historically: a definition which relies on a simplistic equation between office holding and gentry status is at the same time both too broad and too narrow. It is too broad because studies of particular offices show that, for example, JPs and tax collectors were drawn from a variety of social and economic groups; and too narrow because not every member of the gentry chose to participate in local government. Secondly, and this is especially important in the present context, an 'official' definition of the gentry tends to detract from an appreciation of an internal dynamic within the class, and makes it difficult in particular to identify and explain the rise and fall of families.

description: A trackway upon which for the greater part of its length is superimposed the modern road B668 leaves Ermine Street near Greetham three miles north of Stamford. Its junction with Ermine Street and the first half mile of its length can only faintly be discerned from the air. Thence as far as Thistleton 'the road is straight and raised by between two and three feet. This section may reasonably be accepted as Roman in view of the known sites at Thistleton and Market Overton, to which may now be added the kiln recently discovered near Greetham. The road is known locally as Sewstern Lane.

description: Reciprocity in directed networks points to user's willingness to return favors in building mutual interactions. High reciprocity has been widely observed in many directed social media networks such as following relations in Twitter and Tumblr. Therefore, reciprocal relations between users are often regarded as a basic mechanism to create stable social ties and play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of networks. Each reciprocity relation is formed by two parasocial links in a back-and-forth manner with a time delay. Hence, understanding the delay can help us gain better insights into the underlying mechanisms of network dynamics. Meanwhile, the accurate prediction of delay has practical implications in advancing a variety of real-world applications such as friend recommendation and marketing campaign. For example, by knowing when will users follow back, service providers can focus on the users with a potential long reciprocal delay for effective targeted marketing. This paper presents the initial investigation of the time delay in reciprocal relations. Our study is based on a large-scale directed network from Tumblr that consists of 62.8 million users and 3.1 billion user following relations with a timespan of multiple years (from 31 Oct 2007 to 24 Jul 2013). We reveal a number of interesting patterns about the delay that motivate the development of a principled learning model to predict the delay in reciprocal relations. Experimental results on the above mentioned dynamic networks corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed delay prediction model.

description: Long-term load forecasting plays a vital role for utilities and planners in terms of grid development and expansion planning. An overestimate of long-term electricity load will result in substantial wasted investment in the construction of excess power facilities, while an underestimate of future load will result in insufficient generation and unmet demand. This paper presents first-of-its-kind approach to use multiplicative error model (MEM) in forecasting load for long-term horizon. MEM originates from the structure of autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model where conditional variance is dynamically parameterized and it multiplicatively interacts with an innovation term of time-series. Historical load data, accessed from a U.S. regional transmission operator, and recession data for years 1993-2016 is used in this study. The superiority of considering volatility is proven by out-of-sample forecast results as well as directional accuracy during the great economic recession of 2008. To incorporate future volatility, backtesting of MEM model is performed. Two performance indicators used to assess the proposed model are mean absolute percentage error (for both in-sample model fit and out-of-sample forecasts) and directional accuracy.
