description: We study the scalar products between Bethe states in the XXZ spin chain with anisotropy $|Δ|>1$ in the semi-classical limit where the length of the spin chain and the number of magnons tend to infinity with their ratio kept finite and fixed. Our method is a natural yet non-trivial generalization of similar methods developed for the XXX spin chain. The final result can be written in a compact form as a contour integral in terms of Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm function, which in the isotropic limit reduces to the classical dilogarithm function.

title: Some aspects of adaptive logic for pattern recognition
Creators: name: Cheung-Yueng-San, C. Y. E.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis deals with pattern recognizers (PRs) which are adaptive and amenable to hardware realization. Such PRs consist of networks of microcircuit modules (SLAMs: Stored-Logic Adaptive Microcircuits) which are used as feature extractors and which ensure a high throughput by their parallel operation. Previous workers have adopted the. number of training patterns as a measure for training such PRs on different pattern classes. In this thesis, the number of memory bits set in the SLAMs is considered instead, and this is shown to provide a better balance between sections of the PRs called discriminators. Simulations are carried out to observe how the size of the PR and the amount of training affect the performance and a quantitative comparison with a template matching classifier is presented. The effect of clustering the SLAM inputs within the input matrix is also investigated and PRs with SLAMs which have their outputs weighted according to their memory contents are also simulated. From the results, a technique to optimize the performance of the PRs is proposed and a possible development of the SLAM module is suggested.

Development of rapid methods for relaxation time mapping and motion estimation using magnetic resonance imaging

description: Recent technological developments in the field of magnetic resonance imaging have resulted in advanced techniques that can reduce the total time to acquire images. For applications such as relaxation time mapping, which enables improved visualisation of in vivo structures, rapid imaging techniques are highly desirable. TAPIR is a Look- Locker-based sequence for high-resolution, multislice T1 relaxation time mapping. Despite the high accuracy and precision of TAPIR, an improvement in the k-space sampling trajectory is desired to acquire data in clinically acceptable times. In this thesis, a new trajectory, termed line-sharing, is introduced for TAPIR that can potentially reduce the acquisition time by 40 %. Additionally, the line-sharing method was compared with the GRAPPA parallel imaging method. These methods were employed to reconstruct time-point images from the data acquired on a 4T high-field MR research scanner. Multislice, multipoint in vivo results obtained using these methods are presented. Despite improvement in acquisition speed, through line-sharing, for example, motion remains a problem and artefact-free data cannot always be obtained. Therefore, in this thesis, a rapid technique is introduced to estimate in-plane motion. The presented technique is based on calculating the in-plane motion parameters, i.e., translation and rotation, by registering the low-resolution MR images. The rotation estimation method is based on the pseudo-polar FFT, where the Fourier domain is composed of frequencies that reside in an oversampled set of non-angularly, equispaced points. The essence of the method is that unlike other Fourier-based registration schemes, the employed approach does not require any interpolation to calculate the pseudo-polar FFT grid coordinates. Translation parameters are estimated by the phase correlation method. However, instead of two-dimensional analysis of the phase correlation matrix, a low complexity subspace identification of the phase correlation matrix is employed. This method is beneficial because it offers sub-pixel displacement estimation without interpolation, increased robustness to noise and limited computational complexity. Owing to all these advantages, the proposed technique is very suitable for the real-time implementation to solve the motion correction problem.

description: There is a general belief that political (partisan) animosity is fueled by a disagreement over values and preferences. But in the case of Black Lives Matter (BLM), it is unclear whether the disagreement is actually over 1) values, 2) interpretations of the meanings of the phrase or 3) what should be done in light of (agreed upon) meanings and values, or some combination of the three. We study BLM as a specific example of the potential sources of disagreement given the size and influence of the movement and because it led to a counter movement of All Lives Matter. Are these two movements entirely at odds with each other or is there common ground that is being overlooked due to differing interpretations of the labels, or the conflation of core principles with policy implications?

description: We provide a fundamental treatment of the molecular communication channel wherein "inscribed matter" is transmitted across a spatial gap to provide reliable signaling between a sender and receiver. Inscribed matter is defined as an ensemble of "tokens" (molecules, objects, and so on) and is inspired, at least partially, by biological systems where groups of individually constructed discrete particles ranging from molecules through membrane-bound structures containing molecules to viruses and organisms are released by a source and travel to a target -- for example, morphogens or semiochemicals diffuse from one cell, tissue or organism diffuse to another. For identical tokens that are neither lost nor modified, we consider messages encoded using three candidate communication schemes: a) token timing (timed release), b) token payload (composition), and c) token timing plus payload. We provide capacity bounds for each scheme and discuss their relative utility. We find that under not unreasonable assumptions, megabit per second rates could be supported at femtoWatt transmitter powers. Since quantities such as token concentration or bin-counting are derivatives of token arrival timing, individual token timing undergirds all molecular communication techniques. Thus, our modeling and results about the physics of efficient token-based information transfer can inform investigations of diverse theoretical and practical problems in engineering and biology. This work, Part I, focuses on the information theoretic bounds on capacity. Part II develops some of the mathematical and information-theoretic ideas that support the bounds presented here.

description: Cost-efficient performing arts? German theatres in a DEA comparison. This doctoral dissertation is concerned with the degree of cost-efficiency in German theatres. Its starting point is the observation that, on average, box-office revenues of German public theatres cover just 16% of their costs while the rest is borne by the public purse. This gives rise to the suspicion that some of the theatres might be cost-inefficient. Thus, the cost-efficiency of 25 touring companies, 108 municipal and state theatres and 8 private theatres is examined over the four seasons 1995/96 to 1998/99 and by applying the data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology. DEA is nonparametric and does not only give efficiency scores but also identifies benchmark firms serving as an example for inefficient firms. The present study is the first one to apply DEA to theatres. In contrast to earlier studies concerned with the productivity of theatres, its interest does not center on the theatre sector, but on single theatres; efficiency scores are computed not only for theatres as a whole but also for smaller parts (e.g. the theatre administration or the ballet company); alternative and innovative output measures are applied and output quality is taken into account. Additionally, an existing DEA model is modified in order to identify not only the amount of inefficiency but also its sources. Furthermore, the link between quality and certain economic variables is examined. The results indicate substantial savings potentials on average between 11% and 19% (depending on the perspective taken) and in absolute terms well above 300m per year. Moreover, it is shown that privatizing public theatres might bring about further efficiency gains in the region of 22%. Finally, the issue is discussed of how to use DEA scores in the financing of theatres in order to make them operate efficiently.
Supergranulation and multiscale flows in the solar photosphere: Global observations vs. a theory of anisotropic turbulent convection

description: The Sun provides us with the only spatially well-resolved astrophysical example of turbulent thermal convection. While various aspects of solar photospheric turbulence, such as granulation (one-Megameter horizontal scale), are well understood, the questions of the physical origin and dynamical organization of larger-scale flows, such as the 30-Megameters supergranulation and flows deep in the solar convection zone, remain largely open in spite of their importance for solar dynamics and magnetism. Here, we present a new critical global observational characterization of multiscale photospheric flows and subsequently formulate an anisotropic extension of the Bolgiano-Obukhov theory of hydrodynamic stratified turbulence that may explain several of their distinctive dynamical properties. Our combined analysis suggests that photospheric flows in the horizontal range of scales between supergranulation and granulation have a typical vertical correlation scale of 2.5 to 4 Megameters and operate in a strongly anisotropic, self-similar, nonlinear, buoyant dynamical regime. While the theory remains speculative at this stage, it lends itself to quantitative comparisons with future high-resolution acoustic tomography of subsurface layers and advanced numerical models. Such a validation exercise may also lead to new insights into the asymptotic dynamical regimes in which other, unresolved turbulent anisotropic astrophysical fluid systems supporting waves or instabilities operate.

Protostellar Feedback in Turbulent Fragmentation: Consequences for Stellar Clustering and Multiplicity

description: Stars are strongly clustered on both large (~pc) and small (~binary) scales, but there are few analytic or even semi-analytic theories for the correlation function and multiplicity of stars. In this paper we present such a theory, based on our recently-developed semi-analytic framework called MISFIT, which models gravito-turbulent fragmentation, including the suppression of fragmentation by protostellar radiation feedback. We compare the results including feedback to a control model in which it is omitted. We show that both classes of models robustly reproduce the stellar correlation function at >0.01 pc scales, which is well approximated by a power-law that follows generally from scale-free physics (turbulence plus gravity) on large scales. On smaller scales protostellar disk fragmentation becomes dominant over common core fragmentation, leading to a steepening of the correlation function. Multiplicity is more sensitive to feedback: we found that a model with the protostellar heating reproduces the observed multiplicity fractions and mass ratio distributions for both Solar and sub-Solar mass stars (in particular the brown dwarf desert), while a model without feedback fails to do so. The model with feedback also produces an at-formation period distribution consistent with the one inferred from observations. However, it is unable to produce short-range binaries below the length scale of protostellar disks. We suggest that such close binaries are produced primarily by disk fragmentation and further decrease their separation through orbital decay.

description: Modern video signal processing systems need to be highly adaptive in their processing configuration due to the broad range of input signal quality levels. In many cases the input quality is not known. In this paper, we report on our research on adaptivity to the sharpness level of the video content. Based on our work on temporally recursive detail reconstruction, which we presented in [1], we developed a system to measure the sharpness level in the input signal and for subsequent automatic gain control. Further we measure the current level of image enhancement and stabilizes it over time, approximating a predefined target enhancement level. Our proposed system helps to avoid over-enhancement of high quality input signals while adjusting the gain for low quality input signals in order to achieve an adequately enhanced output signal.

description: We initiate the calculation of loop corrections to correlation functions in 4D defect CFTs. More precisely, we consider N=4 SYM with a codimension-one defect separating two regions of space, x_3>0 and x_3<0, where the gauge group is SU(N) and SU(N-k), respectively. This set-up is made possible by some of the real scalar fields acquiring a non-vanishing and x_3-dependent vacuum expectation value for x_3>0. The holographic dual is the D3-D5 probe brane system where the D5 brane geometry is AdS_4 x S^2 and a background gauge field has k units of flux through the S^2. We diagonalise the mass matrix of the defect CFT making use of fuzzy-sphere coordinates and we handle the x_3-dependence of the mass terms in the 4D Minkowski space propagators by reformulating these as standard massive AdS_4 propagators. Furthermore, we show that only two Feynman diagrams contribute to the one-loop correction to the one-point function of any single-trace operator and we explicitly calculate this correction in the planar limit for the simplest chiral primary. The result of this calculation is compared to an earlier string-theory computation in a certain double-scaling limit, finding perfect agreement. Finally, we discuss how to generalise our calculation to any single-trace operator, to finite N and to other types of observables such as Wilson loops.

Dark state population determines magnetic sensitivity in radical pair magnetoreception model

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: What is the real role of the quantum coherence and entanglement in the radical pair (RP) compass, and what determines the singlet yield have not been fully understood. In this paper, we find that the dark states of the two-electron Zeeman energy operator (TEZE) play an important role in the RP compass. We respectively calculate the singlet yields for two initial states in this dark state basis: the coherent state and the same state just removing the dark state coherence. For the later there is neither dark state coherence nor entanglement in the whole dynamical process. Surprisingly we find that in both cases the singlet yields are the same, and based on this result, we believe that the dark state population determines the singlet yield completely, and the dark state coherence and entanglement have little contribution to it. Finally, we also find that the dark state population as well as the singlet yield anisotropy is fragile to the vertical magnetic noise. However, the orientation is robust and is even enhanced by the parallel magnetic noise because the dark states expand a decoherence-free subspace. The dark state population as well as the orientation is more robust to the hyperfine coupling noise.

title: Cross-cultural women's writing and the politics of magic realism : Toni Morrison, Maxine Hong Kingston and Leslie Marmon Silko
Creators: name: Bowers, Margaret Ann
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the political possibilities and implications of magic realist discourse in contemporary cross-cultural women's writing. Focussing on the ontological writing of Toni Morrison, Maxine Hong Kingston and Leslie Marmon Silko, the comparative critical approach acknowledges the specificity of their writing to their cultural contexts whilst combining elements from post-colonial, feminist and post-structuralist criticism. The study demonstrates that in writing the magic realist mode, which breaks down restrictive definitions of reality and truth, has a transformative effect upon readers. By emphasising the ritual and participatory aspects of story-telling, their texts encourage readers to react to the possibility of re-conceiving their world through stories, thereby precipitating political change. The Introduction provides a brief over-view of the concept of magic realism. The first chapter analyses Toni Morrison's creation of a specifically African American form of magic realism which promotes the expression of an alternative history of slavery, and provides a vehicle for the articulation of African American cultural memory and its ambivalences. Chapter Two examines Maxine Hong Kingston's paradoxical relationship to magic realist narrative. It analyses her resistance to her mother's magic realism which she eventually adopts for the purpose of articulating a cultural memory which will be useful to the current circumstances of Chinese Americans. The third chapter explores Leslie Marmon Silko's use of the magic realist mode to create a text which illustrates the discursive tension between dominant American and Native American cultures. By doing so, she creates a text which merges postmodernist and Native American story-telling techniques to create a text with multiple perspectives and influenced by spirituality. The conclusion identifies similarities between the writers. It reveals that they have created a new form of writing which encourages readers to realise the political potential inherent in their texts in order to re-imagine their world and to counter the individualism, materialism and ultra-rationalism of dominant culture.

Lattice Defects and the Mechanical Anisotropy of Borophene

Year: 2016

description: Using density functional theory combined with a semi-empirical van der Waals dispersion correction, we have investigated the stability of lattice defects including boron vacancy, substitutional and interstitial X (X=H, C, B, N, O) and $Σ$5 tilt grain boundaries in borophene and their influence on the anisotropic mechanical properties of this two-dimensional system. The pristine borophene has significant in-plane Young's moduli and Poisson's ratio anisotropy due to its strong and highly coordinated B-B bonds. The concentration of B vacancy and $Σ$5 grain boundary could be rather high given that their formation energies are as low as 0.10 eV and 0.06 eV/$Å$ respectively. In addition, our results also suggest that borophene can react easily with H$_2$, O$_2$ and N$_2$ when exposed to these molecules. We find that the mechanical properties of borophene are remarkably degraded by these defects. The anisotropy in Poisson's ratio, however, can be tuned by some of them. Furthermore, the adsorbed H or substitutional C may induce remarkably negative Poisson's ratio in borophene, and the substitutional C or N can significantly increase the Poisson's ratio by contrast.

We hypothesize that in the cafeterias where the norm message is displayed, meat-free main meal sales will increase, while there will not be any changes in the control sites. The secondary aim is to explore whether site characteristics (i.e baseline meat-free meal sales, availability of meat-free meal options, and whether the cafeteria serves offices or production facilities) moderate the effect of the messaging intervention.

description: The essential oil obtained from leaves of Melissa officinalis L. (Family of Lamiaceae) growing in Algeria, was investigated for its chemical composition and in vitro antimicrobial activity. The chemical composition was determined by hydro-distillation and analyzed by GC/MS and GC-FID. Sixty-three compounds were identified in the essential oil, representing 94.10 % of the total oil and the yields were 0.34 %. The major component was geranial (44.20 %). Other predominant components were neral (30.20 %) and citronellal (6.30 %). The in vitro antimicrobial activity was determined by paper disk agar diffusion testing and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using 7 bacteria (3 Gram-positive and 4 Gram-negative), 2 yeasts and 3 fungi. The results showed that the essential oil presented high antimicrobial activity against all microorganisms targeted mainly against five human pathogenic bacteria, one yeast Candida albicans and two phytopathogenic fungi tested.

description: We study the depolarization dynamics of a dense ensemble of dipolar interacting spins, associated with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. We observe anomalously fast, density-dependent, and non-exponential spin relaxation. To explain these observations, we propose a microscopic model where an interplay of long-range interactions, disorder, and dissipation leads to predictions that are in quantitative agreement with both current and prior experimental results. Our results pave the way for controlled many-body experiments with long-lived and strongly interacting ensembles of solid-state spins.

description: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between platelet indices and scorpion envenomations (SE). Medical records of 76 children who were hospitalised for scorpion stings in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between February 2013 and November 2013, and 55 healthy children who were similar to the patient group in terms of age and sex, were analysed retrospectively. The leucocyte (WBC), thrombocyte (PLT), plateletcrit (PCT), platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values of the 76 children with SE were recorded. These values were compared with the healthy control group. Significantly higher WBC and PDW values were noted in patients with SE in comparison to the controls. Patients with SE had significantly lower mean MPV values compared to the healthy controls (9.03 ± 1.26 compared to 10.43 ± 1.44 fL, respectively; p < 0.001). Although the mean platelet count was slightly elevated in the SE group, no statistically significant difference existed between the two groups (p = 0.097). Furthermore, the mean PCT values in the SE group compared to the control group were slightly decreased, but this decrease was not statistically significant (p = 0.141). A significant inverse correlation existed between the MPV values and the WBC (r = -0.450, p < 0.01) and PLT counts (r = -0.420, p < 0.01). The PLT values were significantly correlated with the PCT values (r = 0.687, p < 0.01). This study demonstrated that SE may lead to several alterations in platelet indices. Significantly lower values of MPV and higher values of PDW were detected in SE patients. However, the increase in the platelet counts and the decrease in the PCT values were not significant.

description: We consider a model belonging to the class of gravities with dynamical torsion. The model is free of ghosts and gradient instabilities about Minkowski and torsionless Einstein backgrounds. We find that at zero cosmological constant, the model admits a self-accelerating solution with non-Riemannian connection. Small value of the effective cosmological constant is obtained at the expense of the hierarchy between the dimensionless couplings.

description: Voice-based virtual assistants are becoming increasingly popular. Such systems provide frameworks to developers on which they can build their own apps. End-users can interact with such apps through a Voice User Interface (VUI), which allows to use natural language commands to perform actions. Testing such systems is far from trivial, especially due to the fact that the same command can be expressed using several semantically equivalent utterances, to which the VUI is expected to correctly react. To support developers in testing VUIs, Deep learning (DL)-based tools have been integrated in the development environments to generate paraphrases for selected seed utterances. This is for example the case of the Alexa Developer Console (ADC). Such tools, however, generate a limited number of paraphrases and do not allow to cover several corner cases. In this paper, we introduce VUI-UPSET, a novel approach that aims at adapting chatbot-testing approaches to VUI-testing. Indeed, both systems provide a similar natural-language-based interface to users. We conducted an empirical study to understand how VUI-UPSET compares to existing approaches in terms of (i) correctness of the generated paraphrases, and (ii) capability of revealing bugs. We manually analyzed 5,872 generated paraphrases, totaling 13,310 evaluations. Our results show that the DL-based tool integrated in the ADC generates a significantly higher percentage of meaningful paraphrases compared to VUI-UPSET. However, VUI-UPSET generates a higher number of bug-revealing paraphrases, which allows developers to test more thoroughly their apps at the cost of discarding a higher number of irrelevant paraphrases.

description: The research presents an analysis of the Pangea continent within the primordial protolinguistic division, together with its respective evolution in the Pangeo-linguistic era and the evolutionary process that took place in relation to the geological eras of Proto-Basque and modern Basque, together with a proposal for classification according to the geological eras of the Basque language. It answers the question "What is the evolutionary process of the Basque language in relation to its development as a language?", thus demonstrating the geographical location of the proto-Basque language which, as a result of socio-cultural processes and the use of dialects and languages, is transformed into a language established for the territory of what is today known as the Basque Country

Diagnosing galactic feedback with the line broadening in the low redshift Lyman-alpha forest

description: We compare the low redshift (z ~ 0.1) Lyman-alpha forest from hydrodynamical simulations with data from the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS). We find tension between the observed number of lines with b-parameters in the range 25-45 km/s and the predictions from simulations that incorporate either vigorous feedback from active galactic nuclei or that exclude feedback altogether. The gas in these simulations is, respectively, either too hot to contribute to the Lyman-alpha absorption or too cold to produce the required line widths. Matching the observed b-parameter distribution therefore requires feedback processes that thermally or turbulently broaden the absorption features without collisionally (over-)ionising hydrogen. This suggests the Lyman-alpha forest b-parameter distribution is a valulable diagnostic of galactic feedback in the low redshift Universe. We furthermore confirm the low redshift Lyman-alpha forest column density distribution is better reproduced by an ultraviolet background with an HI photo-ionisation rate a factor 1.5-3 higher than predicted by Haardt & Madau (2012).

title: A clinic of lack : Franco Basaglia, biopolitics and the Italian psychiatric reform
Creators: name: Tarabochia, Alvise Sforza

description: In this thesis, I propose a new reading of the work of Franco Basaglia, the psychiatrist responsible for Law 18011978, which, to date, makes Italy the only country in the world where psychiatry does not rely on asylums. Basaglia's oeuvre has often been divided into two periods: his early philosophical self-education, revolving around the rethinking of the psychiatrist-patient relationship in terms of intersubjectivity, and his subsequent 'political activism', centred on his struggle against institutional psychiatry and his reformation of the latter, which culminates in Law 180. Critics have overlooked the structural continuity between these two phases. Such an interpretative division has produced a fragmented reading of Basaglia's work, which I endeavour to overcome in my thesis. I aim at establishing a solid connection between Basaglia's 'theory of the subject', which I compare to Lacan's, and Basaglia's activity of de-institutionalisation, which is indebted to Foucault's reflection on disciplinary power and psychiatry. The notion of the 'subject', according to both Basag1ia and Lacan, revolves around a constitutional lack: as human beings we lack the very possibility of being without the other. While for Foucault this notion is nothing other than an effect of power-knowledge relations, for Basaglia and Lacan subjectivity as lack entails a constitutional participation in otherness. My claim is that this stance anticipates Roberto Esposito's biopolitical notion of communitas, as the 'place' where subjects lose their illusory individual subjectivity to actively embrace intersubjectivity. The formation of a communitas prevents an excess of immunisation. On the contrary, the extreme consequence of withdrawing from otherness by objectifying the patient is the creation of an organicist thanatopolitical psychiatry. This is why I propose to call Basaglia's practical and theoretical work a 'clinic of lack', an affirmative biopolitical psychiatry centred on the idea that subjects are constitutionally lacking.
