description: We present the physical parameters of 2335 late-type contact binary (CB) systems extracted from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS). Our sample was selected from the CSS Data Release 1 by strictly limiting the prevailing temperature uncertainties and light-curve fitting residuals, allowing us to almost eliminate any possible contaminants. We developed an automatic Wilson--Devinney-type code to derive the relative properties of CBs based on their light-curve morphology. By adopting the distances derived from CB (orbital) period--luminosity relations (PLRs), combined with the well-defined mass--luminosity relation for the systems' primary stars and assuming solar metallicity, we calculated the objects' masses, radii, and luminosities. Our sample of fully eclipsing CBs contains 1530 W-, 710 A-, and 95 B-type CBs. A comparison with literature data and with the results from different surveys confirms the accuracy and coherence of our measurements. The period distributions of the various CB subtypes are different, hinting at a possible evolutionary sequence. W-type CBs are clearly located in a strip in the total mass versus mass ratio plane, while A-type CBs may exhibit a slightly different dependence. There are no significant differences among the PLRs of A- and W-type CBs, but the PLR zero points are affected by their mass ratios and fill-out factors. Determination of zero-point differences for different types of CBs may help us improve the accuracy of the resulting PLRs. We demonstrate that automated approaches to deriving CB properties could be a powerful tool for application to the much larger CB samples expected to result from future surveys.

description: The paper gives an analysis of commercial holdings belonging to the permanent crop sector over a period of two years. The results show that olive growing type of farms have the largest agricultural area, while viticulture and enology types of farms have the lowest. Viticulture and enology farms have the highest value of crop production output on average, with the largest amount of variable cost. Olive growers have the largest amounts of total subsidies without investment, and the lowest amount of gross margin and net income at the same time. Farms with grape and wine production are the most economical, while fruit growers have the lowest coefficient of the economy and the highest indebtedness.
title: An Empirical Study of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Classroom Interaction in Bangla Medium Secondary School English Language Education in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Hassan, Mohammad Kamrul
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Drawing upon observation and interview data, this study aims to investigate classroom interaction in order to critically evaluate the current status of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) principles and practice, and to explore the factors which may affect teachers’ ability to apply CLT in Bangla Medium Secondary School English language education in Bangladesh. This thesis discusses the education structure, the potential of English language learning, and the problems with CLT in the Bangladesh context. Through a critical review of the literature some of the major features of CLT are explored. The government of Bangladesh has been trying to make practising teachers adopt such an approach to classroom interaction for over a decade. The extent of the adoption of the practice of these CLT principles is considered by analysing and interpreting the data collected from classroom observations and interviews with teachers and students. These findings enable an initial report into the teachers’ attitudes and beliefs about classroom principles and practice in CLT, how materials and activities are deployed in current teaching strategies, and the students’ perceptions of their roles in classes.

description: We consider an electron-hole system in double quantum wells theoretically. We demonstrate that there is a temperature interval over which an abrupt jump in the value of the ionization degree occurs with an increase of the carrier density or temperature. The opposite effect - the collapse of the ionized electron-hole plasma into an insulating exciton system - should occur at lower densities. In addition, we predict that under certain conditions there will be a sharp decrease of the ionization degree with increasing temperature - the anomalous Mott transition. We discuss how these effects could be observed experimentally.

description: We study the response of an adsorbed monolayer on a disordered substrate under a driving force using Brownian molecular-dynamics simulation. We find that the sharp longitudinal and transverse depinning transitions with hysteresis still persist in the presence of weak disorder. However, the transitions are smeared out in the strong disorder limit. The theoretical results here provide a natural explanation for the recent data for the depinning transition of Kr films on gold substrate.

description: We propose an easy-to-use non-overlapping camera calibration method. First, successive images are fed to a PoseNet-based network to obtain ego-motion of cameras between frames. Next, the pose between cameras are estimated. Instead of using a batch method, we propose an on-line method of the inter-camera pose estimation. Furthermore, we implement the entire procedure on a computation graph. Experiments with simulations and the KITTI dataset show the proposed method to be effective in simulation.

title: Studies of the Tissues and Molecules That Regulate the Migration of Cranial Neural Crest Cells in the Chicken Embryo: Roles of Midline 1 and Retinoic Acid
Creators: name: Latta, Elizabeth Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Cranial neural crest cells (cNCC) emigrate from the neuroepithelium to form the cartilaginous structures of the face and much of the peripheral nervous system of the head. Several genetic disorders and drug compounds can disrupt the patterning of cNCC-derived tissues during development.

I have studied cNCC patterning in the chick embryo, focussing on one genetic disorder (X-linked Opitz syndrome, caused by mutations in the MIDLINE1 (MID1) gene) and one drug compound (retinoic acid).

I demonstrate the expression pattern of the chick orthologue of MID1 and show that the Mid1 protein, via its effects on Protein Phosphatase 2A, controls the migration of cNCCs and regulates the timing of cranial gangliogenesis, likely by altering cNCC protease activities.

Retinoic Acid (RA) is a diffusible morphogen and well-known teratogen that causes patterning defects in cNCC migration. I provide evidence that the cranial mesenchyme adjacent to rhombomere 3 of the hindbrain is a potent responder to the presence of RA, resulting in cNCC mis-migration. Furthermore, I demonstrate that the 9-cis RA isoform is more potent than the all-trans RA isoform at causing cNCC mis-migration.

description: The coupling between fermionic matter and gauge fields plays a fundamental role in our understanding of nature, while at the same time posing a challenging problem for theoretical modeling. In this situation, controlled information can be gained by combining different complementary approaches. Here, we study a confinement transition in a system of $N_f$ flavors of interacting Dirac fermions charged under a U(1) gauge field in 2+1 dimensions. Using Quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate a lattice model that exhibits a continuous transition at zero temperature between a gapless deconfined phase, described by three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics, and a gapped confined phase, in which the system develops valence-bond-solid order. We argue that the quantum critical point is in the universality class of the QED$_3$-Gross-Neveu-XY model. We study this field theory within a $1/N_f$ expansion in fixed dimension as well as a renormalization group analysis in $4-ε$ space-time dimensions. The consistency between numerical and analytical results is revealed from large to intermediate flavor number.

description: Efficient distribution is very important for further development of organic food markets. This means that sales channels should be adapted to the growing trends in production and demand for organic food. One of relatively new forms of direct sale of organic products on the domestic market is organic farmer's market. The first independent organic farmer's market in Croatia – the organic farmer's market Šijana in Pula – started to operate in July 2013. This paper presents results of a research conducted with both organic food producers selling in the market and consumers buying in this market. The survey shows that both the producers and consumers are very satisfied with the organic farmer's market but they recommend improvements to the offer and market appearance, as well as introduction of a new programme at the market.

description: Recently, plasmonic nanofluids (i.e., a suspension of plasmonic nanoparticles in a base fluid) have been widely employed in direct-absorption solar collectors because the localized surface plasmon supported by plasmonic nanoparticles can greatly improve the direct solar thermal conversion performance. Considering that the surface plasmon resonance frequency of metallic nanoparticles, such as gold, silver, and aluminum, is usually located in the ultraviolet to visible range, the absorption coefficient of a plasmonic nanofluid must be spectrally tuned for full utilization of the solar radiation in a broad spectrum. In the present study, a modern design process in the form of a genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to the tailoring of the spectral absorption coefficient of a plasmonic nanofluid. To do this, the major components of a conventional GA, such as the gene description, fitness function for the evaluation, crossover, and mutation function, are modified to be suitable for the inverse problem of tailoring the spectral absorption coefficient of a plasmonic nanofluid. By applying the customized GA, we obtained an optimal combination for a blended nanofluid with the desired spectral distribution of the absorption coefficient, specifically a uniform distribution, solar-spectrum-like distribution, and a step-function-like distribution. The resulting absorption coefficient of the designed plasmonic nanofluid is in good agreement with the prescribed spectral distribution within about 10\% to 20\% of error when six types of nanoparticles are blended. Finally, we also investigate how the inhomogeneous broadening effect caused by the fabrication uncertainty of the nanoparticles changes their optimal combination.

description: Trends in modern tourism are mainly oriented towards intangible aspects of tourism demand. Consumer experience at a destination is the focal point. Since rural areas in Croatia face significant demographic problems, rural tourism can be one of the answers to the question of how to revitalize rural areas. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of rural tourism in certain regions in the context of overall rural development in Croatia. For the purposes of this paper, methods of content analysis and compilation were used. Rural tourism can contribute to economic diversification and enable new jobs, especially for young people. Due to diversity of climatic, environmental and regional conditions, there are various types of rural tourism in Croatia. The overall diversity shouldn’t be perceived as on obstacle for potential development, but a comparative advantage.

title: Factor Analysis of Data Matrices: New Theoretical and Computational Aspects With Applications
Creators: name: Unkel, Steffen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: The classical fitting problem in exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is to find estimates for the factor loadings matrix and the matrix of unique factor variances which give the best fit to the sample covariance or correlation matrix with respect to some goodness-of-fit criterion. Predicted factor scores can be obtained as a function of these estimates and the data. In this thesis, the EFA model is considered as a specific data matrix decomposition with fixed unknown matrix parameters. Fitting the EFA model directly to the data yields simultaneous solutions for both loadings and factor scores. Several new algorithms are introduced for the least squares and weighted least squares estimation of all EFA model unknowns. The numerical procedures are based on the singular value decomposition, facilitate the estimation of both common and unique factor scores, and work equally well when the number of variables exceeds the number of available observations. Like EFA, noisy independent component analysis (ICA) is a technique for reduction of the data dimensionality in which the interrelationships among the observed variables are explained in terms of a much smaller number of latent factors. The key difference between EFA and noisy ICA is that in the latter model the common factors are assumed to be both independent and non-normal. In contrast to EFA, there is no rotational indeterminacy in noisy ICA. In this thesis, noisy ICA is viewed as a method of factor rotation in EFA. Starting from an initial EFA solution, an orthogonal rotation matrix is sought that minimizes the dependence between the common factors. The idea of rotating the scores towards independence is also employed in three-mode factor analysis to analyze data sets having a three-way structure. The new theoretical and computational aspects contained in this thesis are illustrated by means of several examples with real and artificial data.

description: We analyse the effects of galaxy interactions on star formation in groups and clusters of galaxies with virial masses in the range $10^{13} - 10 ^{15} M_{\odot}$. We find a trend for galaxy-galaxy interactions to be less efficient in triggering star formation in high density regions in comparison with galaxies with no close companion. However, we obtain the same relative projected distance and relative radial velocity thresholds for the triggering of significant star formation activity ($r_p \sim 25 h^{-1} $ kpc and $ΔV \sim 100 {\rm km s^{-1}}$) as found in the field. Thus, the nature of star formation driven by galaxy interactions is nearly independent of environment, although there is a general lower level of star formation activity in massive systems. The above results reflect, on one hand, the local nature of star formation induced by tidal interactions and, on the other, the role played by the internal properties of galaxies. By using a 2dFGRS mock catalog we estimate the contamination by spurious pairs finding that the statistics are cleary dominated by real pairs. We also found the behaviour of the trends to be robust against the use of more restrictive relative velocity thresholds.(Abridged)

description: The large, temperature-independent, low-frequency dielectric constant recently observed in single-crystal CaCu{3}Ti{4}O{12} is most plausibly interpreted as arising from spatial inhomogenities of its local dielectric response. Probable sources of inhomogeneity are the various domain boundaries endemic in such materials: twin, Ca-ordering, and antiphase boundaries. The material in and neighboring such boundaries can be insulating or conducting. We construct a decision tree for the resulting six possible morphologies, and derive or present expressions for the dielectric constant for models of each morphology. We conclude that all six morphologies can yield dielectric behavior consistent with observations and suggest further experiments to distinguish among them.

We estimate the effects of Universal Extra Dimension (UED) by a simple analysis of the cross-sections. The heavy Kaluza-Klein excitations of the Standard Model fields in UED can significantly alter the decay properties of the Higgs boson to loop-driven final states. We show that by taking a simple ratio between cross-sections of two different final states this difference can be very easily highlighted.

description: Agrotourism has an increasing significance in the development of Croatia. Although 92% of the country is rural, the portion of rural in total tourism has long been represented with a very low share of 5%. The share of tourist family farms is only 0.2% of the total number of registered farms in Croatia. Rural tourism is a significant factor in the activation and sustainable development of rural areas. It helps preserve local identity, tradition and customs, protects the environment, strengthens autochthonous, traditional and ecological production and helps the development of rural areas on the basis of sustainable development. The surveys conducted in Primorsko-goranska county resulted with several conclusions and suggestions of measures to encourage the further development of agrotouristic activities in these areas. There is still insufficient development of agrotourism as an economic activity in Primorsko-goranska county, however there are initiatives for a more intensive development of economic activity in the future, especially in the area rich in biodiversity and characterized by a favorable geographic position. The geographic position of the county is manifested primarily in good connections with the larger towns of Croatia and the city of Zagreb, and expressed in three physiognomic units: coastal, islands and Gorski kotar. Furthermore, the survey shows that there is a specific interest among the farmers to initiate this type of economic activity. Agrotourism contributes to the development of the county, the revival of agricultural production, the preservation of the tradition, the preservation of the population in the village and the local identity, and the increase in the number of tourists.

description: The first binary neutron-star merger event, GW170817, and its bright electromagnetic counterpart have provided a remarkable amount of information. By contrast, the second event, GW190425, with $M_{\rm tot}=3.4^{+0.3}_{-0.1}\,M_{\odot}$ and the lack of an electromagnetic counterpart, has hardly improved our understanding of neutron-star physics. While GW190425 is compatible with a scenario in which the merger has lead to a prompt collapse to a black hole and little ejected matter to power a counterpart, determining the mass ratio and the effective spin $\tildeχ$ of the binary remains difficult. This is because gravitational waveforms cannot yet well constrain the component spins of the binary. However, since the mass of GW190425 is significantly larger than the maximum mass for nonrotating neutron stars, $M_{_{\rm TOV}}$, the mass ratio $q$ cannot be too small, as the heavier star would not be gravitationally stable. Making use of universal relations and a large number of equations of state, we provide limits in the $(\tildeχ,q)$ plane for GW190425, namely: $q_{\rm min} \geq 0.38$ and $ \tildeχ_{\rm max}\leq 0.20$, assuming $M_\mathrm{tot} \simeq 3.4\, M_\odot$. Finally, we show how future observations of high-mass binaries can provide a lower bound on $M_{_{\rm TOV}}$.

title: The Everyday Activities of Motherhood
Creators: name: Sanderson-Mann, Joanna
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: The focus of the research is a particular type of localised mothering, in the late 2000s, in the East Midlands of the UK, and the mundane practices that characterise motherhood for a group of women in this region. The thesis employs an ethnographic approach to explore the everyday activities of motherhood, through photographs taken by mothers of their activities, and their talk about them. The data presented is based on observations, with two mothers; and photographs taken by 18 mothers, and interviews. The data are offered as a pictorial and narrated description of their lives, and of their concerns at the time. This data is situated within a literature about the everyday, and how the self is theorised, considering maternal identities and associated subject positions. The thesis begins with an introduction to the topic, before moving on to a review of different bodies of academic literature about the everyday, and how the self is theorised. The methodology chapter explores how I came to employ reflexive and auto/biographical methods and how visual methods emerged as a productive way of generating, and presenting data on maternal practices. The main body of the thesis takes the form of four chapters, revealing different aspects of the empirical data: food, material culture, space and time. The thesis continues with an analysis of themes that cut through these four chapters, and through which maternal identities and practices can be conceptualised: the creation of home and family through practices; and maternal feelings that gave meaning to these practices. I conclude by suggesting an integration of these practices and feelings to produce a sensual understanding of motherhood.

To this end, we obtain the full real-frequency behavior of the conductivity tensor by performing a tight-binding calculation based on the Qi-Wu-Zhang model and using a Kubo formula, and derive the full electromagnetic Green tensor of the system, which breaks Onsager reciprocity. This enables us to find that for frequencies smaller than the maximum band gap, the system is sensitive to time reversal symmetry-breaking, whereas for much larger frequencies the system becomes insensitive, with implications for the discrimination of the state of a circularly polarised dipole emitter. We also study the impact of a van Hove singularity on the surface-induced correction to the transition rate, finding that it can enhance its amplitude by a few orders of magnitude compared to the case where the conductivity is set to its static value. By considering configurations in which the dipole is circularly polarised or parallel with the surface of the Chern insulator, we find that the surface correction to the transition rate can exhibit a novel decay with sine integral-like oscillations.

description: We define "coherent communication" in terms of a simple primitive, show it is equivalent to the ability to send a classical message with a unitary or isometric operation, and use it to relate other resources in quantum information theory. Using coherent communication, we are able to generalize super-dense coding to prepare arbitrary quantum states instead of only classical messages. We also derive single-letter formulae for the classical and quantum capacities of a bipartite unitary gate assisted by an arbitrary fixed amount of entanglement per use.

description: In this letter, we demonstrate a relation between the boundary curvature $κ$ and the wrinkle wavelength $λ$ of a thin suspended film under boundary confinement. Experiments are done with nanocrystalline diamond films of thickness $t \approx 184$~nm grown on glass substrates. By removing portions of the substrate after growth, suspended films with circular boundaries of radius $R$ ranging from approximately 30 to 811 $μ$m are made. Due to residual stresses, the portions of film attached to the substrate are of compressive prestrain $ε_0 \approx 11 \times 10^{-4}$ and the suspended portions of film are azimuthally wrinkled at their boundary. We find that $λ$ monotonically decreases with $κ$ and present a model predicting that $λ\propto t^{1/2}(ε_0 + ΔR κ)^{-1/4}$, where $ΔR$ denotes a penetration depth over which strain relaxes at a boundary. This relation is in agreement with our experiments and may be adapted to other systems such as plant leaves. Also, we establish a novel method for measuring residual compressive strain in thin films.

description: The paper deals with the characteristics of Dalmatia's rural tourism supply based on the registered rural-tourist farms listed in the National Catalog of Rural Tourism of Croatia. The aim of this paper is to determine the present state and potential of Dalmatia in the development of rural tourism. Moreover, the intetion is to point out the unexploited possibilities of the area by comparing the four Dalmatian tourist regions: Dalmacija – Zadar, Dalmacija – Šibenik, Dalmacija – Split, Dalmacija – Dubrovnik. The research results indicate that all the explored regions are rich in natural and cultural heritage, which are crucial for the development of rural tourism. There are differences in the number of registered facilities for rural tourism and the services offered. This is seen as an opportunity for launching investment projects and programs with the goal of preserving and developing those rural areas.

description: Aims. The mass discrepancy between the observed population of double neutron star binaries by radio pulsar observations and gravitational-wave observation requires an explanation. Methods. Binary population synthesis calculations are performed, and their results are compared with the radio and the gravitational-wave observations simultaneously. Results. Simulations of binary evolution are used to link different observations of double neutron star binaries with each other. The progenitor of GW190425 is investigated in more detail. A distribution of masses and merger times of the possible progenitors is presented. Conclusions. A mass discrepancy between the radio pulsars in the Milky Way with another neutron star companion and the inferred masses from gravitational-wave observations of those kind of merging systems is naturally found in binary evolution.

description: The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes melitus, and other diet-related chronic diseases is increasing worldwide due to the global rise in overweight and obesity. Numerous ways to communicate nutritional information to consumers can be considered to effectively improve eating habits, thereby counteracting this development. Traffic light labels have been discussed in Germany as a possible tool to communicate easy-to-understand information about the nutritional value of food products. However, the design of traffic light labels discussed to-date is aimed only at reducing the intake of fat, saturated fatty acids, sugar, and salt. The aspect of consuming adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibre has been neglected so far. Traffic light labelling including information on this aspect of a healthy diet would significantly improve the potential for promoting healthier diets.
title: 'New Pop' and the Problem of Unravelling Cultural Histories
Creators: name: Shepherd, Sara L.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: The aim of this dissertation was to examine changing discursive representations of ‘New Pop’, a British popular music phenomenon of the 1980s, and in doing so it explored the methodological issues related to the construction and interpretation of cultural histories. The study drew on literature which highlighted several issues as key in the representation of cultural phenomena; namely, the act of narrativisation (White 1987; Zerubavel 2003), the use of interpretative repertoires (Edley 2008), and the influence of collective memory (Halbwachs 1995). In order to evaluate the proposed shift in discursive constructions of ‘New Pop’, a comparative approach was adopted, with a selection of media accounts gathered both from the time of the phenomenon in question and from the subsequent period. In applying Critical Discourse Analysis to this material (Fairclough 1995), the study was able not only to identify the discursive strategies at work in representations of ‘New Pop’, but also to investigate the politics of the disparity which was found between contemporary and retrospective accounts. Emerging from the analysis were a number of findings concerning the role of discursive power in the privileging of particular accounts of ‘New Pop’, the problematic status of truth-claims in the representation of cultural phenomena, and the epistemological implications of the tendency to retrospectively codify cultural history.

description: We show that for a natural polynomial Hamiltonian system the existence of a single Darboux polynomial (a partial polynomial first integral) is equivalent to the existence of an additional first integral functionally independent with the Hamiltonian function. Moreover, we show that, in a case when the degree of potential is odd, the system does not admit any proper Darboux polynomial, i.e., the only Darboux polynomials are first integrals.

description: The present study is an attempt to identify the factors affecting the productivity of apple orchards using production function approach and to analyse the resource use efficiency in respect of important factor inputs. The apple orchards were classified into five groups on the basis of age of the orchards. Cobb-Douglas production function was applied to find resource—use efficiency. The study revealed that the most rationally used input was fertilizer which turned out to be positively significant in three of the five groups while the most irrationally used input was plant protection which turned out to be positively significant only in one group. Labour was found to be rationally used in one group while its irrational use was depicted in two groups. It did not show any significance in the other two groups. The results further showed that orchardists did not allocate their resources in accordance with the recommendations of horticulturists which could have provided them better remuneration by minimizing the input costs.
