description: The study examined the contributions of Okitipupa Multi-purpose Cooperative Union (OMCU) to the development of the local rural economy in its area of coverage. A five-year data set of the activities of OMCU and those of its members were analyzed to determine its savings mobilization capacity, enterprise finance and establishment, employment generation, and social integration of members. The findings confirmed that OMCU is a pivot on which rural development of its area of operation, revolves. This was revealed in its enterprise financing, employment generation, and wealth creation for members and non-members. Equally important is the social integration and gender equality encouraged in the appointment of women into leadership positions in OMCU and its component cooperative societies.

description: Human-robot teaming offers great potential because of the opportunities to combine strengths of heterogeneous agents. However, one of the critical challenges in realizing an effective human-robot team is efficient information exchange - both from the human to the robot as well as from the robot to the human. In this work, we present and analyze an augmented reality-enabled, gesture-based system that supports intuitive human-robot teaming through improved information exchange. Our proposed system requires no external instrumentation aside from human-wearable devices and shows promise of real-world applicability for service-oriented missions. Additionally, we present preliminary results from a pilot study with human participants, and highlight lessons learned and open research questions that may help direct future development, fielding, and experimentation of autonomous HRI systems.

description: This paper explores the attitudes of members of three moshavim located in different parts of Israel regarding the reasons for the weakening of the cooperation within their cooperative association and settlement. Major reasons include government policy and the inability of the moshav cooperative association to enforce the rules of cooperation. Major internal causes are concerned with conflicting interests of different moshav members due to economic changes, including changes in specific agricultural branches, and issues concerning loans given to farmers. Reasons such as production quotas, employment patterns, and education do not significantly contribute to the weakening process, though there are differences in the importance of these reasons between the three moshavim. Some differences in attitudes were found on the basis of age, education level, and type of agricultural branches. The overall transformation in the economic, social, organizational, physical, and environmental attributes of the moshav raises a major question regarding its future survival as a unique type of rural cooperative settlement.

description: The flavor moonshine hypothesis is formulated to suppose that all particle masses (leptons, quarks, Higgs and gauge particles -- more precisely, their mass ratios) are expressed as coefficients in the Fourier expansion of some modular forms just as, in mathematics, dimensions of representations of a certain group are expressed as coefficients in the Fourier expansion of some modular forms. The mysterious hierarchical structure of the quark and lepton masses is thus attributed to that of the Fourier coefficient matrices of certain modular forms. Our intention here is not to prove this hypothesis starting from some physical assumptions but rather to demonstrate that this hypothesis is experimentally verified and, assuming that the string theory correctly describes the natural law, to calculate the geometry (Kähler potential and the metric) of the moduli space of the Calabi-Yau manifold, thus providing a way to calculate the metric of Calabi-Yau manifold itself directly from the experimental data.

Component based method of ab initio simulation for nanoscale electronic devices and circuits
Creators: name: White, Catherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis describes the development of a numerical technique for handling quantum electronic transport equations in the ballistic regime in a way that generates physically meaningful and useful quantities about internal device current and coupling. This is achieved by using a Lippmann-Schwinger Tight-Binding transport model and applying it to a quantum device which we consider piecewise, as components or regions of the whole device. We derive the method and explain how it can improve the adjustability, reusability and efficiency of quantum simulation calculations. The new method is an advance on the one dimensional method of surface Green functions which is a feature of many contemporary electronic transport codes, and shows how a fully flexible approach can be implemented in a modern code. Other fully 3D codes exist, but the new method is di erent because it is based on physical components. The new theoretical concept of a partial self-energy in a Lippmann-Schwinger equation is developed to enable the technique. We perform some illustrative calculations using the method.

description: We present a constrained analysis of the valence transversity Parton Distribution Functions from dihadron production in semi-inclusive DIS. While usual extractions of the transversity distributions rely explicitly on the fulfilment of the Soffer bounds, the present analysis releases that implicit restriction to implement further explicit constraints through the Lagrange multipliers method. The results are quantitatively comparable to previous analyses in the kinematical range of data ; the qualitative impact of the chosen fitting strategy translates into an increased flexibility in the functional form.

description: The current model of planet formation lacks a good understanding of the growth of dust particles inside the protoplanetary disk beyond mm sizes. In order to investigate the low-velocity collisions between this type of particles, the NanoRocks experiment was flown on the International Space Station (ISS) between September 2014 and March 2016. We present the results of this experiment. We quantify the damping of energy in systems of multiple particles in the 0.1 to 1 mm size range while they are in the bouncing regime, and study the formation of clusters through sticking collisions between particles. We developed statistical methods for the analysis of the large quantity of collision data collected by the experiment. We measured the average motion of particles, the moment of clustering, and the cluster size formed. In addition, we ran simple numerical simulations in order to validate our measurements. We computed the average coefficient of restitution (COR) of collisions and find values ranging from 0.55 for systems including a population of fine grains to 0.94 for systems of denser particles. We also measured the sticking threshold velocities and find values around 1 cm/s, consistent with the current dust collision models based on independently collected experimental data. Our findings have the following implications that can be useful for the simulation of particles in PPDs and planetary rings: (1) The average COR of collisions between same-sized free-floating particles at low speeds (< 2 cm/s) is not dependent on the collision velocity; (2) The simplified approach of using a constant COR value will accurately reproduce the average behavior of a particle system during collisional cooling; (3) At speeds below 5 mm/s, the influence of particle rotation becomes apparent on the collision behavior; (4) Current dust collision models predicting sticking thresholds are robust.

Turbulence, Dilemmas and Leadership: A Case Study of an English School after Academisation
Creators: name: Macklin, John
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis uses critical incident technique (CIT) (Chell, 2004) in a qualitative case study to show the responses of leaders in an English secondary school when faced with dilemmas arising from a transition into a multi-academy trust (MAT). The use of CIT interviews allowed for school leaders self-identification of dilemmas they had encountered. The case study school was transferred from local authority control to a local MAT because of a falling student roll and not because of a failed OfSTED inspection. The study addresses how leaders in a mainstream school adapt to UK Government policy (The Academies Act, 2010) on academisation and the subsequent dilemmas this process creates. The aim is to identify the impact on school leaders of change into a school within a MAT. The study includes an analysis of school leaders as street-level bureaucrats and their use of discretion (Lipsky, 2010) to navigate leadership dilemmas. The study addresses three research questions: 1. How do school leaders respond to turbulence and any subsequent dilemmas in the context of academisation? 2. To what extent are school leaders able to use discretion when dealing with dilemmas? 3. What patterns of school leadership are associated with school leaders’ responses to dilemmas? This thesis reveals how an apparent consensus of organisational priorities (improving results through emphasis on teaching and learning) can mask an underlying ‘blindness’ to the perceived realities of groups and of the individuals within them who function as street-level bureaucrats (Lipsky, 2010). Thus, the normal and expected turbulence of a major transition may be exacerbated, rather than mitigated, by decisions taken by leaders, unaware of the at times restrictive impact on the discretional freedom of their subordinates. This has the inadvertent outcome of cascading turbulence and undermining the ethos of distributed leadership (DL). The result is that often leaders are functioning as managers operationalising the head teachers’ diktats rather than leaders demonstrating leadership.

Spontaneous thermal expansion of nematic elastomers

description: We study the monodomain (single-crystal) nematic elastomer materials, all side-chain siloxane polymers with the same mesogenic groups and crosslinking density, but differing in the type of crosslinking. Increasing the proportion of long di-functional segments of main-chain nematic polymer, acting as network crosslinking, results in dramatic changes in the uniaxial equilibrium thermal expansion on cooling from isotropic phase. At higher concentration of main chains their behaviour dominates the elastomer properties. At low concentration of main-chain material, we detect two distinct transitions at different temperatures, one attributed to the main-chain, the other to the side-chain component. The effective uniaxial anisotropy of nematic rubber, r(T) proportional to the effective nematic order parameter Q(T), is given by the average of the two components and thus reflects the two-transition nature of thermal expansion. The experimental data is compared with the theoretical model of ideal nematic elastomers; applications in high-amplitude thermal actuators are discussed in the end.

description: The centaur (2060) Chiron has exhibited outgassing behaviour and possibly hosts a ring system. On 2011 November 29, Chiron occulted a fairly bright star (R approximately 15 mag) as observed from the 3-m NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea and the 2-m Faulkes Telescope North (FTN) at Haleakala. Data were taken as visible wavelength images and simultaneous, low-resolution, near-infrared (NIR) spectra. Here, we present a detailed examination of the light-curve features in the optical data and an analysis of the near-infrared spectra. We place a lower limit on the diameter of Chiron's nucleus of 160.2+/-1.3 km. Sharp, narrow dips were observed between 280-360 km from the centre (depending on event geometry). For a central chord and assumed ring plane, the separated features are 298.5 to 302 and 308 to 310.5 km from the nucleus, with normal optical depth approximately 0.5-0.9, and a gap of 9.1+/-1.3 km. These features are similar in equivalent depth to Chariklo's inner ring. The absence of absorbing or scattering material near the nucleus suggests that these sharp dips are more likely to be planar rings than a shell of material. The region of relatively-increased transmission is within the 1:2 spin-orbit resonance, which is consistent with the proposed clearing pattern for a non-axisymmetric nucleus. Characteristics of additional, azimuthally incomplete features are presented, which are likely to be transient, as well as detection of an extended shell or diffuse ring from approximately 900-1500 km. There are no significant features in the NIR light curves, nor any correlation between optical features and NIR spectral slope.

description: We study the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation in two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional systems. We give a general formula of the dHvA oscillation in two-dimensional multi-band systems. By using this formula, the dHvA oscillation and its temperature-dependence for the two-band system are shown. By introducing the interlayer hopping $t_z$, we examine the crossover from the two-dimension, where the oscillation of the chemical potential plays an important role in the magnetization oscillation, to the three-dimension, where the oscillation of the chemical potential can be neglected as is well know as the Lifshitz and Kosevich formula. The crossover is seen at $4 t_z \sim 8 ta b H /ϕ_0$, where a and b are lattice constants, $ϕ_0$ is the flux quantum and 8t is the width of the total energy band. We also study the dHvA oscillation in quasi-two-dimensional magnetic breakdown systems. The quantum interference oscillations such as $β-α$ oscillation as well as the fundamental oscillations are suppressed by the interlayer hopping $t_z$, while the $β+α$ oscillation gradually increases as $t_z$ increases and it has a maximum at $t_z/t\approx 0.025$. This interesting dependence on the dimensionality can be observed in the quasi-two-dimensional organic conductors with uniaxial pressure.

The galaxy is a double-sided jet source forming a large angle with the line of sight. Optical observations reveal a V ~ 18 magnitude galaxy at the position of the radio core. Although the association with the EGRET source is not confirmed at the present stage, because there is a competing, alternative gamma-ray candidate within the location error contours which is also studied here, the case deserves further attention. The new radio galaxy can be used to test the recently proposed possibility of gamma-ray emitting radio galaxies beyond the already known case of Centaurus A.

description: In underdoped cuprates fluctuations of the phase of the superconducting order parameter play a role due to the small superfluid density. We consider the effects of phase fluctuations assuming the exchange of spin fluctuations to be the predominant pairing interaction. Spin fluctuations are treated in the fluctuation-exchange approximation, while phase fluctuations are included by Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless theory. We calculate the stiffness against phase fluctuations, ns(omega)/m*, as a function of doping, temperature, and frequency, taking its renormalization by phase fluctuations into account. The results are compared with recent measurements of the high-frequency conductivity. Furthermore, we obtain the temperature T*, where the density of states at the Fermi energy starts to be suppressed, the temperature Tc*, where Cooper pairs form, and the superconducting transition temperature Tc, where their phase becomes coherent. We find a crossover from a phase-fluctuation-dominated regime with Tc proportinal to ns for underdoped cuprates to a BCS-like regime for overdoped materials.

Towards a Listening Theatre: Metamodernism, Millennials and Contemporary Political Theatre
Creators: name: Drayton, Thomas
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: This practice-based Ph.D. maps emerging trends in contemporary political theatre in order to apply them in the development of a new frame of performance practice: The Listening Theatre. It does this by defining an evolving structure of feeling in new political theatre created by millennial artists which reflects current sensibilities as part of the emerging metamodern paradigm. This study provides significant new insight into how the metamodern can be located in a theatrical frame and indicates possible future trajectories for metamodern performance practices; locating and developing an innovative form of theatrical metamodernism. The written component of this thesis maps out the territories and previous performance practices that the Listening Theatre intersects. I focus on the development of my own performance practice, through which I locate my work within a wider framework of political theatre created by millennial artists that exhibits an oscillation between optimistic endeavours towards, and doubtful self-criticism of, authentic, efficacious theatrical engagement. This theatre of hope/lessness is inherently connected to the historical situatedness of the millennials as a generation. By offering a new definition of the millennial as a related structure of feeling, this thesis connects particular precarities and crises in my generation’s formative adult years to specific anxieties observable in our art. This study also details my uncovering of the practical modalities and aesthetic concerns shared by a number of millennial theatre makers and my application of these as theatrical tools to engage with the millennial generation itself. The written component of this thesis details the development of this engagement and how I utilised the outcomes of this research to develop my own performance practice. This culminates in a new play, Like Lions, which forms the practical body of this study, through which I applied millennialmade performance modalities and metamodern aesthetics in order to intentionally develop innovative forms of metamodern, political performance.

description: Kinetic theory of nonlinear current response to an external field is developed for mesoscopic normal metal rings threaded by a magnetic flux. General expressions for direct current (DC) are derived for a non-equilibrium regime. These expressions describe simultaneously a contribution to DC made by a non-equilibrium (external) field, as well as the contribution caused by interaction with intrinsic fields. Contributions of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions to the direct current in a non-equilibrium systems are studied. The kinetic equation for electrons in a disordered metal ring is solved with taking into account the Coulomb and electron-phonon interactions. This gives an estimate of an overheating of the pumped electron system.

How and Why Science Influenced the Founding of Modern Freemasonry and its Role as a Microcosm of the Impact of Science on the Upper Echelons of British Society at that Time
Creators: name: Lawrence, Charles
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: This research began as a routine enquiry into the current wisdom with regard to the 'science' of Masonic Ritual. However after diligent search to my utter amazement nothing of substance came to light and so began this unique enquiry. Modern Freemasonry's ritual places great emphasis on understanding the science which underpins its basic philosophy and insists that Masons must strive to understand its implications. Unfortunately this scientific injunction only remained for the few years whilst its Founder's remained active and from then onwards science became an absolute no-go area to all subsequent freemasons and Masonic historians alike. Yet even today that same (crucial) insistence upon science still punctuates the ritual, suggesting that the Founder's imperative remains central to Freemasonry and life in general. Why then has science been ignored for the last c280 years? It posed the further question why had nobody made any attempt to understand its presence, or even moot its fundamental importance and whether for good or bad, why had it not occasioned a response? I determined to seek my own understanding of what lay behind this enigma.

description: As robot systems become more ubiquitous, developing understandable robot systems becomes increasingly important in order to build trust. In this paper, we present an approach to developing a holistic robot explanation system, which consists of three interconnected components: state summarization, storage and querying, and human interface. To find trends towards and gaps in the development of such an integrated system, a literature review was performed and categorized around those three components, with a focus on robotics applications. After the review of each component, we discuss our proposed approach for robot explanation. Finally, we summarize the system as a whole and review its functionality.

In addition, we are taking advantage of improved UV and IR data and better estimates of the gas-to-dust ratio. The model fits cover the entire range of extinction properties that have been seen in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. The grain models employed for this presentation are the simplistic homogeneous spheres models (i.e., Mathis, Rumpl, & Nordsieck 1977) with two (graphite, silicate) or three (graphite, silicate, amorphous carbon) components. Though such usage is only a first step, the results do provide interesting insight into the use of grain size as a diagnostic of dust environment. We find that the SMC Bar extinction curve cannot be fit using carbon grains alone. This is a challenge to the recent observational result indicating little silicon depletion in the SMC.

description: Rallidae   Porphyrio flavirostris (ND): occurs from eastern Colombia through southern central Venezuela to the Guianas, south as far as eastern Ecuador, northern and southeastern Peru, northern Bolivia, and central Paraguay to extreme northern Argentina, and there are also sparse records in the entire Brazil (Taylor, 1996). Its occurrence is highly seasonal in parts of its distribution and it seems to coincide with the flood season: in southwestern Amazon and Paraguay, it occurs mainly between October and January; in eastern Amazon, between February and August; in western Amazon, records peak in January; and in the Upper Amazon, it is present only between January and July. It is considered vagrant in southern Brazil (Remsen Jr. & Parker III, 1990; Taylor, 1996; Dias et al., 2010b). Photographic records do not corroborate the pattern described in the literature.The occurrence of this species in the South region is restricted to sporadic records for all three states (Dias et al., 2010b; Meyer, 2015). More data is necessary to classify this species as migratory.Individuals collected in Fazenda Fartura in Santana do Araguaia/PA had developed gonads, which indicates that the species breeds in Brazil (L.F. Silveira, pers. obs.). Museum collection data are restricted to MT in May and in PA in March, April, August, November and December (MPEG).

description: For Tsallis' entropic analysis to the time evolutions of standard logistic map at the Feigenbaum critical point, it is known that there exists a unique value $q^*$ of the entropic index such that the asymptotic rate $K_q \equiv \lim_{t \to \infty} \{S_q(t)-S_q(0)\} / t$ of increase in $S_q(t)$ remains finite whereas $K_q$ vanishes (diverges) for $q > q^* (q < q^*)$. We show that in spite of the associated whole time evolution cannot be factorized into a product of independent sub-interval time evolutions, the pseudo-additive conditional entropy $S_q(t|0) \equiv \{S_q(t)-S_q(0)\}/ \{1+(1-q)S_q(0)\}$ becomes additive when $q=q^*$. The connection between $K_{q^*}$ and the rate $K'_{q^*} \equiv S_{q^*}(t | 0) / t$ of increase in the conditional entropy is discussed.

description: We present a novel technique for enhancing Fermi surface (FS) signatures in the 2D distribution obtained after the 3D momentum density in a crystal is projected along a specific direction in momentum space. These results are useful for investigating fermiology via high resolution Compton scattering and positron annihilation spectroscopies. We focus on the particular case of the (110) projection in an fcc crystal where the standard approach based on the use of the Lock-Crisp-West (LCW) folding theorem fails to give a clear FS image due to the strong overlap with FS images obtained through projection from higher Brillouin zones. We show how these superposed FS images can be disentangled by using a selected set of reciprocal lattice vectors in the folding process. The applicability of our partial folding scheme is illustrated by considering Compton spectra from an Al-3at%Li disordered alloy single crystal. For this purpose, high resolution Compton profiles along nine directions in the (110) plane were measured. Corresponding highly accurate theoretical profiles in Al-3at%Li were computed within the local density approximation (LDA)-based Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA) first-principles framework. A good level of overall accord between theory and experiment is obtained, some expected discrepancies reflecting electron correlation effects notwithstanding, and the partial folding scheme is shown to yield a clear FS image in the (110) plane in Al-3%Li.

description: The advancement of targeted drug delivery systems has opened up a wide array of opportunities in cancer therapy, leading to the exploration of various strategies. Among these, the use of prodrugs stands out as a particularly promising approach in targeted cancer treatment, aimed at enhancing the selectivity and effectiveness of cytotoxic agents. In the last few years, there has been considerable progress in the area of dimeric-based prodrugs aimed at cancer therapy. The advantages presented by dimeric-based prodrugs have significantly improved the efficiency of delivering anticancer drugs, characterized by a high drug loading capacity, advantageous pharmacokinetics, and drug release that responds to tumor stimuli. With respect to the importance of drug dimerization in the field of prodrug development, herein we review the latest reports covering research in dimeric prodrugs. We have categorized the article according to the reported anticancer agents. We have also spent a great deal of attention on different types of used linkers and methods of the dissociation of dimeric prodrugs into free monomeric drugs. Readers will easily be able to compare between the reported research using the same drugs with different linkers or different dissociation methods as well as different cancer cell lines targeted in the studies.
Hannay Angles in Magnetic Dynamics

description: We consider, within the framework developed by Hannay for classical integrable systems [Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General {\bf 18}, 221 (1985)], the geometric phases that occur in semi-classical magnetic dynamics. Such geometric phases are generically referred to as Hannay angles, and, in the context of magnetic dynamics, may arise as a result of both adiabatically-varying ellipticity and axis of magnetization precession. We elucidate both effects and their interplay for single-domain magnetic dynamics within a simple model with time-dependent anisotropies and external field. Subsequently, we consider spin waves and rederive, from our classical approach, some known results on what is commonly referred to as the magnon Berry phase. As an aside, these results are used to give an interpretation for geometric phases that occur in superfluids. Finally, we develop a Green's function formalism for elliptical magnons. Within this formalism, we consider magnon transport in a mesoscopic ring and show how it is influenced by interference effects that are tuned by the Hannay angle that results from a varying ellipticity. Our results may inform the field of magnonics that seeks to utilize spin waves in applications.

Propagating and evanescent waves in absorbing media

description: We compare the behavior of propagating and evanescent light waves in absorbing media with that of electrons in the presence of inelastic scattering. The imaginary part of the dielectric constant results primarily in an exponential decay of a propagating wave, but a phase shift for an evanescent wave. We then describe how the scattering of quantum particles out of a particular coherent channel can be modeled by introducing an imaginary part to the potential in analogy with the optical case. The imaginary part of the potential causes additional scattering which can dominate and actually prevent absorption of the wave for large enough values of the imaginary part. We also discuss the problem of maximizing the absorption of a wave and point out that the existence of a bound state greatly aids absorption. We illustrate this point by considering the absorption of light at the surface of a metal.
