description: A scoping review protocol.Background: Relocation to new food environments affects people’s food choices, including food security.Objective: This scoping review is part of a PhD study and seeks to determine 1) how people’s food choices change after relocation to new food environments, 2) the country-income classification of migrant groups that are food insecure after relocation (e.g., lower-, middle- or higher-income countries), and 3) policies that can enable migrant groups who are food insecure to make better food choices.
Design: This review aims to identify articles of original research conducted using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, published in English between January 2000 and July 2024. Two reviewers will collaborate to screen the Title and Abstracts of identified relevant articles, and the lead reviewer will analyse the Full-texts. Results will be presented in tabular form highlighting identified articles, and narrative summary form to be published as a journal article.The geographical area for the review is global, with a focus on migration to higher-income countries such as the UK, and experiences of food insecurity.
Direct and inverse cascades of spin-wave turbulence in spin-1 ferromagnetic spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We theoretically and numerically study spin-wave turbulence in spin-1 ferromagnetic spinor Bose-Einstein condensates, finding direct and inverse cascades with power-law behavior. To derive these power exponents analytically, the conventional weak wave turbulence theory is applied to the spin-1 spinor Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Thus, we obtain the $-7/3$ and $-5/3$ power laws in the transverse spin correlation function for the direct and inverse cascades, respectively. To confirm these power laws, numerical calculations are performed that obtain results consistent with these power laws.

description: Introductory algebra-based physics courses frequently feature multiple student major populations in the same course section, however, different majors' requirements may impact students' motivations towards different aspects of the course material, e.g. problem solving, and hence, impact course performance. A preliminary categorization of student attitudes towards a lab group coordinated problem solving exercise, in which students individually reflect on their group-based problem attempt, is based upon students' written interpretations about the usefulness of the exercise: respectively towards intrinsic value of a problem solving framework, towards performing well in the course, and towards less specific aspects of the exercise. The relationship between choice of major and this preliminary categorization for a typical algebra-based physics course is analyzed, as are trends by major and by category type in a measure of course performance. We also discuss more in-depth development of interpretation for the categorization construct via written artifacts from the problem solving exercise.

description: In the James Webb Space Telescope and Extremely Large Telescopes era we expect to characterize a number of potentially habitable Earth-like exoplanets. However, the characterization of these worlds depends crucially on the accuracy of theoretical models. Validating these models against observations of planets with known properties will be key for the future characterization of terrestrial exoplanets. Due to its sensitivity to the micro- and macro-physical properties of an atmosphere, spectropolarimetry will be an important tool that in tandem with traditional flux-only observations will enhance the capabilities of characterizing Earth-like planets. In this presentation we benchmark two separate polarization-enabled radiative transfer codes against each other and against unique linear spectropolarimetric observations of the Earthshine (i.e., sunlight scattered by the dayside of the Earth and reflected back to the planet by the nightside of the Moon) that cover wavelengths from ~ 0.4 μm to ~ 2.3 μm. We find that the results from the two codes agree with each other but both underestimate the level of polarization of the Earthshine. We discuss how we plan to update the two codes to better fit the observations. We also report an interesting discrepancy between our models and the observed 1.27 μm O2 feature in the Earthshine, together with an analysis of potential methods for matching this feature and a discussion on the implications this has for future observations of habitable exoplanets.

Η ανάλυση της κλιματικής επίδρασης έγινε με την γραφική συσχέτιση μιας γενικευμένης (κυλιόμενου μέσου όρου δεκαετίας) δενδροχρονολόγησης και των κλιματικών δεδομένων σε βάθος σαράντα ετών περίπου. Για το σκοπό αυτό ελήφθησαν τρυπανίδια λευκόδερμης και μαύρης πεύκης στα δασοόρια και στα όρια εξάπλωσης των ειδών. Μετρήθηκε το πάχος των αυξητικών δακτυλίων και επιχειρήθηκε η εξάλειψη της επίδρασης της ηλικίας στην τάση σχηματισμού τους με τον υπολογισμό της ετήσιας αύξησης της κυκλικής επιφάνειας ώστε να απεικονιστεί γραφικά η επίδραση της βροχόπτωσης και της μέσης θερμοκρασίας της αυξητικής περιόδου. Τέλος εξετάστηκαν ιστορικές και πρόσφατης λήψης αεροφωτογραφίες προκειμένου να διαπιστωθεί αν υπήρξε μεταβολή των δασοορίων.
description: The aim of this thesis is to study the spatial and climatic pattern and the response of the growth of black pine and white-skinned pine to climatic conditions (rainfall height, temperature) at various altitudes near the forest boundaries and at the limits of species distribution on the western slopes of Mount Olympus. The analysis of climate impact was done by graphically correlating a generalized (rolling average decade) dendrochronology and climate data over a depth of about forty years. For this purpose, drills of white-skinned and black pine were taken in the forest boundaries and at the limits of species distribution. The thickness of the growth rings was measured and an attempt was made to eliminate the influence of age on their formation tendency by calculating the annual increase of the circular surface area in order to graphically depict the effect of rainfall and the average temperature of the growth period. Finally, historical and recent aerial photographs were examined in order to determine whether there was a change in the forest boundaries.

description: We use scanning near-field optical microscopy to study the response of hexagonal boron nitride nanocones at infrared frequencies, where this material behaves as a hyperbolic medium. The obtained images are dominated by a series of hot rings that occur on the sloped sidewalls of the nanocones. The ring positions depend on the incident laser frequency and the nanocone shape. Both dependences are consistent with directional propagation of hyperbolic phonon polariton rays that are launched at the edges and zigzag through the interior of the nanocones, sustaining multiple internal reflections off the sidewalls. Additionally, we observe a strong overall enhancement of the near-field signal at discrete resonance frequencies. These resonances attest to low dielectric losses that permit coherent standing waves of the sub-diffractional polaritons to form. We comment on potential applications of such shape-dependent resonances and the field concentration at the hot rings.

title: The impact of foreign aid on investment, growth and the exchange rate in West Africa
Creators: name: Uneze, Eberechukwu F
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Since the last two to three decades, the economic performance of the African countries has been the focus of global attention. While other developing countries that share similar characteristics are beginning to emerge, Africa is yet to 'take off'. At the regional level, the North and Southern regions have made some progress but West Africa in spite of its deep integration has barely managed to outperform the East and Central regions. This thesis focuses on the investigation of the relationship between foreign aid and economic performance in West Africa. Using annual data from 1975 to 2005, it examines the impact of foreign aid on private investment, growth, the real effective exchange rate, as well as the nature of the relationship between external debt, private investment and growth in Nigeria. The first of the main findings of the thesis is that the impact of foreign aid on private investment and growth in West Africa depends on the type of aid. Also, the effect of aid uncertainty on private investment cannot be attributed to aggregate aid, as multilateral aid does not appear to be volatile. Second, the thesis by splitting aid into multilateral and bilateral components, addresses a major issue in the aid-growth debate - the bi-directional causation between aid and growth. Third, based on two recent pooled estimation techniques - the pooled mean group estimator (PMG) and the dynamic fixed effects (DFE), the thesis examined the effect of foreign aid inflows on the real exchange rate - the so-called 'Dutch Disease' hypothesis, relying mainly on the floating aspect of the real effective exchange rate. Finally, using the ARDF approach, we find that official debt of around 40 percent of GDP is not inimical to growth for Nigeria.

description: In 1975, the U.S. Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities began a long and thorough investigation into American intelligence operations. The Committee, dubbed "The Church Committee" after its chairperson Senator Frank Church, responded to growing public concern that U.S. agencies such as the FBI, the NSA, and the CIA were abusing executive authority against the American people. Their domestic spying and counterintelligence operations against U.S. citizens, conducted under the guise of foreign intelligence surveillance, had been revealed. The United States has declared privacy an essential component of an active democratic society, but in the interest of national security, to what extent can, and should, individual privacy be maintained? Prior to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, it could be argued that the memory of the Church Committee encouraged legislation to make a concentrated effort to regulate executive agencies to protect individual privacy; however, once the investigations ended, the Committee's findings faded from public memory. Furthermore, once terrorist attacks threatened the safety of Americans, concern for infringement of individual privacy and the original intentions of the Church Committee was largely forgotten. However, American whistleblower Edward Snowden's exposure of NSA data collection operations in 2013 reinvigorated discussions of privacy expectations and set the stage for requests for a second Church Committee. Through a historical survey of modern intelligence history, I explore how society has remembered the Church Committee and its ideas of privacy, and more significantly, whether we need a second investigation to understand the extent to which U.S. citizen' privacy rights are still being violated today.

Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate here the question raised in literature about the correct expression for the electromagnetic field-momentum, especially when static fields are involved. For this we examine a couple of simple but intriguing cases. First we consider a system configuration in which electromagnetic field momentum is present even though the system is static. We trace the electromagnetic momentum to be present in the form of a continuous transport of electromagnetic energy from one part of the system to another, without causing any net change in the energy of the system. In a second case we show that the electromagnetic momentum is nil irrespective of whether the charged system is stationary or in motion, even though the electromagnetic energy is present throughout. We demonstrate that the conventional formulation of electromagnetic field-momentum describes the systems consistently without any real contradictions. Here we also make exposition of a curiosity where electromagnetic energy decreases when the charged system gains velocity. Then we discuss the more general question that has been raised -- Are the conventional formulas for energy-momentum of electromagnetic fields valid for all cases? Or more specifically, in the case of so-called "bound fields," do we need to change over to some modified definitions which have made their appearance even in standard text books? We show that in all cases it is only the conventional formulas which lead to results consistent with the rest of physics, including the special theory of relativity, and that any proposed modifications are thus superfluous.

Subjects: subject: Computational Complexity (cs.CC)

description: The field of computational complexity is concerned both with the intrinsic hardness of computational problems and with the efficiency of algorithms to solve them. Given such a problem, normally one designs an algorithm to solve it and sets about establishing bounds on its performance as functions of the algorithm's variables, particularly upper bounds expressed via the big-oh notation. But if we were given some inscrutable code and were asked to figure out its big-oh profile from performance data on a given set of inputs, how hard would we have to grapple with the various possibilities before zooming in on a reasonably small set of candidates? Here we show that, even if we restricted our search to upper bounds given by polynomials, the number of possibilities could be arbitrarily large for two or more variables. This is unexpected, given the available body of examples on algorithmic efficiency, and serves to illustrate the many facets of the big-oh notation, as well as its counter-intuitive twists.

description: The use of smart devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops skyrocketed in the last decade. These devices enable ubiquitous applications for entertainment, communication, productivity, and healthcare but also introduce big concern about user privacy and data security. In addition to various authentication techniques, automatic and immediate device locking based on user leaving detection is an indispensable way to secure the devices. Current user leaving detection techniques mainly rely on acoustic ranging and do not work well in environments with multiple moving objects. In this paper, we present mmLock, a system that enables faster and more accurate user leaving detection in dynamic environments. mmLock uses a mmWave FMCW radar to capture the user’s 3D mesh and detects the leaving gesture from the 3D human mesh data with a hybrid PointNet-LSTM model. Based on explainable user point clouds, mmLock is more robust than existing gesture recognition systems which can only identify the raw signal patterns. We implement and evaluate mmLock with a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) TI mmWave radar in multiple environments and scenarios. We train the PointNet-LSTM model out of over 1 TB mmWave signal data and achieve 100% true-positive rate in most scenarios.

description: This paper explores the relationship between psychology and architecture, and how the two intersect in the built environment. This project investigates how fractals, or forms with elements repeated at different scales, can be used to reduce stress in urban areas. The first study successfully reproduced the finding that fractal images relieve stress in an experimental setting. The second study, which is ongoing, investigates the ability of fractals to decrease perceived stress in a public transit context. If the results show that fractals are effective at stress relief, the study will add to the scientific foundation for improving the design of public spaces using fractal imagery.

description: This Doctoral Thesis is built around these insights and the main objective is to define a theoretical framework for the analysis of trust dynamics. It is constituted of three papers. The first one is a broad and deep overview of the research on the topic of trust. The objective is to demonstrate how pervasive the concept is in academic research, independent of disciplines. In the other two papers, two models are presented, one dealing with a dyadic interaction setting, and another dealing with a social setting. Both models investigate trust dynamics with a particular focus on its primitives. The aim is to demonstrate how beliefs and preferences play a fundamental role in shaping trust and its consequences. Attention is also given to the social and cultural dimensions of trust.

description: The structure and magnetic interactions of the triplon Bose-Einstein condensation candidates Ba$_3$Cr$_2$O$_8$ and Sr$_3$Cr$_2$O$_8$ have been studied thoroughly in the literature, but little is known about a possible triplon condensation in the corresponding solid solution Ba$_{3-x}$Sr$_x$Cr$_2$O$_8$. We have prepared various members of this solid solution and systematically examined their magnetic properties in high magnetic fields up to 60 T and at low temperatures down to 340 mK, by means of pulsed field and cantilever magnetometry. From these experiments for $x\in\{3,2.9,2.8,2.7,2.6,2.5\}$, we find that the critical fields of Ba$_{3-x}$Sr$_x$Cr$_2$O$_8$ decrease monotonically as a function of the Sr content $x$. This change is in good agreement with the earlier reported variation of the magnetic interactions in these compounds.

description: This work contributes to the timely debate about the consequences of the materialization of financial instability in the global economic and financial system. The topic of measuring and forecasting systemic risk, together with the related implications for policy makers, is explored from different angles. First, we propose a method to estimate forward-looking probabilities of joint default, with an application to the recent European debt crisis. We find evidence of increasing systemic risk and danger of default contagion from early 2007 and more significantly from late 2011 onwards. Second, a novel modelling framework to measure systemic risk in a unified approach, relying on an extended information basis across both financial and macroeconomic aggregates, is proposed and tested using data from 1995 to 2011. Third, we analyse in particular the late 2000s crisis and the European debt crisis, by means of a novel modelling set-up to test for contagion versus excess interdependence. The empirical application reveals that the 2007-09 financial crisis characterized as a persistent period of financial distress, whereas the recent debt crisis has to be understood as a short-lived phenomenon, having been prompted by volatility spillovers, which do not display trend in the long-term. Finally, we propose an empirical study to measure the reaction of the Monetary Authorities to systemic risk, and highlight important differences between Central Banks' monetary conducts during the recent period of financial turmoil.

description: We consider the axial compression of a thin elastic cylinder placed about a hard cylindrical core. Treating the core as an obstacle, we prove upper and lower bounds on the minimum energy of the cylinder that depend on its relative thickness and the magnitude of axial compression. We focus exclusively on the setting where the radius of the core is greater than or equal to the natural radius of the cylinder. We consider two cases: the "large mandrel" case, where the radius of the core exceeds that of the cylinder, and the "neutral mandrel" case, where the radii of the core and cylinder are the same. In the large mandrel case, our upper and lower bounds match in their scaling with respect to thickness, compression, and the magnitude of pre-strain induced by the core. We construct three types of axisymmetric wrinkling patterns whose energy scales as the minimum in different parameter regimes, corresponding to the presence of many wrinkles, few wrinkles, or no wrinkles at all. In the neutral mandrel case, our upper and lower bounds match in a certain regime in which the compression is small as compared to the thickness; in this regime, the minimum energy scales as that of the unbuckled configuration. We achieve these results for both the von Kármán-Donnell model and a geometrically nonlinear model of elasticity.

Η ανάδειξη της σημασίας και της συμβολής των ΚΕΠ ως μεταρρυθμιστικό θεσμικό εργαλείο στη Δημόσια Διοίκηση γίνεται καλύτερα κατανοητή με τη βιβλιογραφική αναφορά στο γραφειοκρατικό πρότυπο διοίκησης, τα χαρακτηριστικά αλλά και την αναποτελεσματικότητα του, όπως αυτή αποτυπώνεται στις σχέσεις του πολίτη με το κράτος. Για τον ίδιο λόγο προσεγγίζεται σε εννοιολογικό επίπεδο το Νέο Δημόσιο Μάνατζμεντ, η Διοίκηση Ολικής Ποιότητας και κυρίως η Ηλεκτρονική Διακυβέρνηση και η σημασία της για τον Δημόσιο τομέα. Στη συνέχεια αναλύεται διεξοδικά ο θεσμός των ΚΕΠ από όπου συνάγεται ο εκσυγχρονιστικός τους ρόλος στο Δημόσιο τομέα. Προς την ίδια κατεύθυνση στο τελευταίο μέρος της εργασίας πραγματοποιείται ποσοτική έρευνα εστιάζοντας σε συγκεκριμένο ΚΕΠ του Δήμου Αλεξανδρούπολης. Μέσα από την έρευνα αποτυπώνεται η μέγιστη ευαρέσκεια των συναλλασσόμενων από τις υπηρεσίες αλλά και ο καθοριστικός τους ρόλος στη μείωση της γραφειοκρατίας, στη βελτίωση της σχέσης των πολιτών με τη Δημόσια Διοίκηση και η παραδοχή ότι τα ΚΕΠ χρησιμοποιώντας τις εφαρμογές της Ηλεκτρονικής Διακυβέρνησης αποτελούν το όχημα του εκσυγχρονισμού του Δημόσιου τομέα.
Possibility of charge density wave transition in SrPt$_2$Sb$_2$ superconductor

description: The first-order transition at $T_{\rm 0} = 270$ K for the platinum-based SrPt$_2$Sb$_2$ superconductor was investigated using X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. When polycrystalline SrPt$_2$Sb$_2$ was cooled down through $T_{\rm 0}$, the structure was transformed from monoclinic to a modulated orthorhombic structure, and no magnetic order was formed, which illustrates the possibility of a charge density wave (CDW) transition at $T_{\rm 0}$. SrPt$_2$Sb$_2$ can thus be a new example to examine the interplay of CDW and superconductivity in addition to SrPt$_2$As$_2$, BaPt$_2$As$_2$ and LaPt$_2$Si$_2$. It is unique that the average structure of the low-temperature phase has higher symmetry than that of the high-temperature phase.

Einstein and Beyond: A Critical Perspective on General Relativity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An alternative approach to Einstein's theory of General Relativity (GR) is reviewed, which is motivated by a range of serious theoretical issues inflicting the theory, such as the cosmological constant problem, presence of non-Machian solutions, problems related with the energy-stress tensor $T^{ik}$ and unphysical solutions. The new approach emanates from a critical analysis of these problems, providing a novel insight that the matter fields, together with the ensuing gravitational field, are already present inherently in the spacetime without taking recourse to $T^{ik}$. Supported by numerous evidences, the new insight revolutionizes our views on the representation of the source of gravitation and establishes the spacetime itself as the source, which becomes crucial for understanding the unresolved issues in a unified manner. This leads to a new paradigm in GR by establishing equation $R^{ik}=0$ as the field equation of gravitation plus inertia in the very presence of matter.

description: Veronese webs are closely related to bi-Hamiltonian systems, as was shown by Gelfand and Zakharevich. Recently a correspondence between Veronese three-dimensional webs and three-dimensional Einstein-Weyl structures of hyper-CR type was established. The latter were parametrized by Dunajski and Krynski via the solutions of the dispersionless Hirota equation. In this paper we show relations of Veronese three-dimensional webs to several other integrable equations, deform these equations preserving integrability via a dispersionless Lax pair and compute the corresponding contact symmetries, Backlund transformations and Einstein-Weyl structures. Realization of Veronese webs through solutions of these deformed integrable PDE is based on a correspondence between partially integrable Nijenhuis operators to the operator fields with vanishing Nijenhuis tensor. This correspondence could be used to construct a link between bi-Hamiltonian finite-dimensional integrable systems and dispersionless integrable PDE related to the Veronese webs.

description: Infertility is a worldwide problem affecting 1 in 6 Australians. As the popularity of ART increases, it is important that specialists and patients are educated on the need for treatment and expected treatment outcomes. With statistics reporting around 60% of ART cycles are not ending in live birth, treatment failure is a common outcome which should be communicated to patients to ensure ART is not seen as a ‘solution’ to infertility. Unnecessary testing or add-on treatments that do not have sufficient evidence supporting their use should be avoided as an answer to treatment failure.
