description: In transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) systems, the rotation of a scanned sample might be restricted to a limited angular range to avoid collision to other system parts or high attenuation at certain tilting angles. Image reconstruction from such limited angle data suffers from artifacts due to missing data. In this work, deep learning is applied to limited angle reconstruction in TXMs for the first time. With the challenge to obtain sufficient real data for training, training a deep neural network from synthetic data is investigated. Particularly, the U-Net, the state-of-the-art neural network in biomedical imaging, is trained from synthetic ellipsoid data and multi-category data to reduce artifacts in filtered back-projection (FBP) reconstruction images. The proposed method is evaluated on synthetic data and real scanned chlorella data in $100^\circ$ limited angle tomography. For synthetic test data, the U-Net significantly reduces root-mean-square error (RMSE) from $2.55 \times 10^{-3}$ μm$^{-1}$ in the FBP reconstruction to $1.21 \times 10^{-3}$ μm$^{-1}$ in the U-Net reconstruction, and also improves structural similarity (SSIM) index from 0.625 to 0.920. With penalized weighted least square denoising of measured projections, the RMSE and SSIM are further improved to $1.16 \times 10^{-3}$ μm$^{-1}$ and 0.932, respectively. For real test data, the proposed method remarkably improves the 3-D visualization of the subcellular structures in the chlorella cell, which indicates its important value for nano-scale imaging in biology, nanoscience and materials science.

description: Topologically-protected surface states present rich physics and promising spintronic, optoelectronic and photonic applications that require a proper understanding of their ultrafast carrier dynamics. Here, we investigate these dynamics in topological insulators (TIs) of the bismuth and antimony chalcogenide family, where we isolate the response of Dirac fermions at the surface from the response of bulk carriers by combining photoexcitation with below-bandgap terahertz (THz) photons with TI samples with varying Fermi level, including one sample with the Fermi level located within the bandgap. We identify distinctly faster relaxation of charge carriers in the topologically-protected Dirac surface states (few hundred femtoseconds), compared to bulk carriers (few picoseconds). In agreement with such fast cooling dynamics, we observe THz harmonic generation without any saturation effects for increasing incident fields, unlike graphene which exhibits strong saturation. This opens up promising avenues for increased THz nonlinear conversion efficiencies, and high-bandwidth optoelectronic and spintronic information and communication applications.

description: In a larger size Riemann-Hilbert problem matching the local parametrices with the global parametrix is often a major issue. In this article we present a result that should tackle this problem in natural situations. We prove that, in a general setting, it is possible to obtain a double matching, that is, a matching condition on two circles instead of one circle. We discuss how this matching approach can be used to obtain local scaling limits of correlation kernels and apply our result to several examples from the existing literature.

description: The acceptance of benefit-cost analysis is so broad that it virtually defines the field of study concerned with the economic evaluation of extra-market goods. Because of this wide acceptance, debate has moved on to such issues as how to best measure benefits· (Bradford) or how to apply them (Kalter) or which of several benefit measures is theoretically correct to use (Seckler). It is with some trepidation, therefore, that we suggest an approach to the assessment of preferences for publically-provided goods which is outside the benefit-cost framework. The approach is distinctive because it is budget-oriented rather than benefit-oriented. We believe it to be as promising as any other existing method when answers are desired to a particular type of public planning problem. One of the purposes of this paper is to support this contention. Another is to give a conceptual description of the suggested technique. Both of these aims depend ultimately, however, I on a clear understanding of what we mean by "government good" by "public planning problem" and by "budget-oriented" method.

description: Following on from previous work [J. A. Larsson, Phys. Rev. A 67, 022108 (2003)], Bell inequalities based on correlations between binary digits are considered for a particular entangled state involving 2N trapped ions. These inequalities involve applying displacement operations to half of the ions and then measuring correlations between pairs of corresponding bits in the binary representations of the number of centre-of-mass phonons of N particular ions. It is shown that the state violates the inequalities and thus displays nonclassical correlations. It is also demonstrated that it violates a Bell inequality when the displacements are replaced by squeezing operations.

Exploring Factors That Influence Peer-Relations among Older Adults Living in Residential Homes

description: Background: An understanding of peer relationships whilst living in care homes, requires sensitivity to the complex breadth of factors that comprise the persons’ experiential and social contexts. This is necessary to ensure that academic and public perspectives on older people in care homes are not subsumed under homogenising discourses that prioritise victimhood and biological impairment. Research generally on older people is relatively sparse and even less is known about co-resident relationships. The analytical focus for this study is on the perspectives of residents living in UK care homes and of the factors that inform their relationships with other residents. It is hoped that this, in turn, will inform clinical psychology and service delivery in supporting the lives of people in assisted living settings. In short, the paper seeks to inform an agenda of ‘living well and dying well’ (Kewell, 2019:20). Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven older people living in a UK care home. Thematic analysis of transcripts was undertaken and was informed by a critical realist epistemology. Results: Four main themes emerged from the analysis: 1. Belonging and Connection: an integral need, 2. Self-esteem and Validation: maintaining a unique presence, 3. Freedom and Control: negotiating authorship of life, and 4. Occupation and Growth: a search for meaning. Conclusions: The types of co-resident relationships found to exist within the care home are consistent with previous studies: no-contact (common), companion (common), confidante (rare) and antagonist (rare). Departing from existing studies, is the finding that social discourse and institutional context fundamentally inform peer relations. Participants were actively engaging with multiple losses: community, self-identity, autonomy and meaningful pursuit; all reinforced by institutionalised approaches to death, dying and assisted living. This negotiation of loss informed the behaviours of peer-avoidance, peer-selection, withdrawal, and a prioritisation of non-peer relations. The implications of the findings at research, service, clinical and policy levels are discussed.

description: Mach-Zehnder and conoscopic interferometry are used to explore photoelastic properties of anisotropic crystal materials. In a number of cases an application of both techniques significantly improves an accuracy of piezooptic and photoelastic measurements. The performance of such combined approach is demonstrated on tetragonal lithium tetraborate (LTB) single crystals, as an example. Special attention is paid to methodological and metrological aspects, such as measurement accuracy and the quantitative error analysis of the resulting measurements. Performing the interferometric measurements for different geometries of piezooptic coupling the full sets of piezooptic and photoelastic tensor constants of LTB crystals have been determined. The acoustooptic efficiency, on the other hand, has been evaluated using the magnitudes of photoelastic constants derived from the piezooptical measurements. For the geometries with strong photoelastic coupling LTB demonstrates quite large acoustooptic performance with figure of merit value , $M_2$ achieving 2.12 $\times$ 10$^{-15}$ s$^3$/kg. It is several times larger than that of strontium borate crystals, nowadays the best acoustooptic material in deep ultraviolet spectral region.

The study included the collection and rearing of the larva from different breeding habitats in three terrains and identification of the emerged adults at morphological as well molecular level. Out of 150 An. fluviatilis emerged, 149 was sibling species T and only one was sibling species S. Sibling species T was found to be breeding mostly in streams (66.4%) followed by paddy-fields (28.9%). Ponds, mud-puddles and pits together contributed only 4.7% of sibling species T. Since, sibling species S has been incriminated as the main human malaria vector in the area; it is recommended that a longitudinal immature survey covering three seasons over a larger temporal and geographical range would be useful to find out the preferential breeding habitats of An. fluviatilis species S.

description: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has" (Margaret Mead). As we can no longer ignore the emergency of the wounds we have inflicted on the health of our ecosystems, there has been a growing concern to integrate environmental issues in the school curriculum. The United Nations declared 2005-2014 to be the decade for Education for Sustainable Development, which intends to bring to the forefront the role of all teachers to integrate the principles, values, and practices of sustainable development in the classroom. Teachers play a crucial role in empowering students to become environmentally responsible. Based on the work in New Literacies, digital literacies, language and identity, and indigenous knowledge, this Capstone paper, which is particularly concerned with the state of the worlds' fresh water supplies, explores how a multimodal curriculum can be adapted to integrate learning for environmental change. The curriculum (The Wonder of Water) developed as part of the Connection to Practice component of this project was inspired by my involvement with the organization Learning for a Sustainable Future, which aims to educate teachers on the meaning and importance of engaging students in sustainable action projects. This curriculum will demonstrate how digital literacies and Education for a Sustainable Development can come together to create empowering learning experience for students that can enable them to add unforeseen colors to the landscape of ideas and to take actions to heal our worlds' water.

description: Molecular iodine was photoexcited by a strong 800 nm laser, driving several channels of multiphoton excitation. The motion following photoexcitation was probed using time-resolved X-ray scattering, which produces a scattering map $S(Q,τ)$. Temporal Fourier transform methods were employed to obtain a frequency-resolved X-ray scattering signal $\tilde{S}(Q,ω)$. Taken together, $S(Q,τ)$ and $\tilde{S}(Q,ω)$ separate different modes of motion, so that mode-specific nuclear oscillatory positions, oscillation amplitudes, directions of motions, and times may be measured accurately. Molecular dissociations likewise have a distinct signature, which may be used to identify both velocities and dissociation time shifts, and also can reveal laser-induced couplings among the molecular potentials.
Automated classification of variable stars for ASAS 1-2 data

description: With the advent of surveys generating multi-epoch photometry and the discovery of large numbers of variable stars, the classification of these stars has to be automatic. We have developed such a classification procedure for about 1700 stars from the variable star catalogue of ASAS 1-2 (All Sky Automated Survey, Pojmanski 2000) by selecting the periodic ones and by applying an unsupervised Bayesian classifier using parameters obtained through a Fourier decomposition of the light curve. For irregular light curves we used the period and moments of the magnitude distribution for the classification. In the case of ASAS 1-2, 83% of variable objects are red giants. A general relation between the period and amplitude is found for a large fraction of those stars. The selection led to 302 periodic and 1429 semi-periodic stars which are classified in 6 major groups: eclipsing binaries, "sinusoidal curves", Cepheids, small amplitude red variables, SR and Mira stars. The type classification error level is estimated to be about 7%.

description: We study the behaviour of rational curves tangent to a hypersurface under degenerations of the hypersurface. Working within the framework of logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory, we extend the degeneration formula to the logarithmically singular setting, producing a virtual class on the space of maps to the degenerate fibre. We then employ logarithmic deformation theory to express this class as an obstruction bundle integral over the moduli space of ordinary stable maps. This produces new refinements of the logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants, encoding the degeneration behaviour of tangent curves. In the example of a smooth plane cubic degenerating to the toric boundary we employ localisation and tropical techniques to compute these refinements. Finally, we leverage these calculations to describe how embedded curves tangent to a smooth cubic degenerate as the cubic does; the results obtained are of a classical nature, but the proofs make essential use of logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory.

description: A family of exponential martingales of a stochastic Laplacian growth problem is proposed. Stochastic Laplacian growth describes a regularized interface dynamics in a two-fluid system, where the viscous fluid is incompressible at a large scale, while compressible at a small scale in the vicinity of the interface. Hence, random fluctuations of pressure near the boundary are inevitable. By using Loewner-Kufarev equation, we study interface dynamics generated by nonlocal random Loewner measure, which produces the patterns with viscous fingers. We use a Schottky double construction to introduce a one-parametric family of functions of random processes on the double closely connected to the correlation functions of primary operators of the boundary conformal field theory in the Coulomb gas framework. For a specific value of the parameter, these functions are martingales with respect to stochastic Loewner flow on the Schottky double. A connection between the proposed algebraic construction and the physical problem of stochastic interface dynamics relies on the Hadamard's variational formula. Namely, the variation of pressure in stochastic Laplacian growth near the interface is given by the covariance of martingales on the double.

description: For several years adjustments in the farm labor input have been highly sensitive to proliferations of technological innovations, justifying rapid substitutions of capital for labor. This trend has characterized restructuring of agricultural production throughout the United States, but it is particularly true of Georgia and Southeastern agriculture over the past decade. Although farm industry restructuring made ,it economically feasible for Georgia farmers to release large quantities of hired farm labor, the state still remains heavily labor intensive. In addition, increased mechanization of various row crops has altered the type of farm worker needed. Technically skilled workers are needed to operate massive and complicated motorized units for which opportunity cost compensation must be assured.

We found that dark patterns and implied consent are ubiquitous; only 11.8% meet the minimal requirements that we set based on European law. Second, we conducted a field experiment with 40 participants to investigate how the eight most common designs affect consent choices. We found that notification style (banner or barrier) has no effect; removing the opt-out button from the first page increases consent by 22--23 percentage points; and providing more granular controls on the first page decreases consent by 8--20 percentage points. This study provides an empirical basis for the necessary regulatory action to enforce the GDPR, in particular the possibility of focusing on the centralised, third-party CMP services as an effective way to increase compliance.

description: Spatial distribution of young stellar objects (YSOs) in star forming regions (SFRs) may be used as key tracers of their birth sites and their dynamical evolution. Focusing on early stages of star formation, YSOs spatial distribution is expected to follow the dense distribution of gas, and thus be characterized by a strong and clumpy stellar clustering. We have developed a framework based on DBSCAN clustering algorithm to identify significant overdense spatial stellar substructures at small scales (the NESTs, for Nested Elementary Stellar sTructures). We first apply this methodology to Taurus and identify 20 NESTs mainly distributed along the gaseous filaments, spanning the 5-80kAU size range. We further assess the reliability of our method and applying it to almost 40 star forming regions (SFRs) uncovering more than 250 NESTs. The geometrical and physical properties of the NESTs in quiescent SFRs, such as in Taurus, suggest that these overdense stellar spatial structures may be seen as the discrete modes and pristine signatures of star formation. As a particular result, obtained both specifically in Taurus and more generally in the 40 SFRs, we identify two trends in the "Number of stars-Size" NEST relation. We relate them to two different regimes of fragmentation of their molecular clump progenitors. To investigate further the hypothesis that connects the multi-scale fragmentation of cloud into gas clumps and cores, to stellar groups, we develop a multi-scale study of the gas fragmentation based on a graph-theoretic representation. We present some preliminary results obtained for NGC 2264 SFR using five ve Herschel emission maps. They highlight the connection between massive dense cores (MDCs) hierarchical fragmentation and the formation of local stellar groups, such as the NESTs.

description: Child language studies are crucial in improving our understanding of child well-being; especially in determining the factors that impact happiness, the sources of anxiety, techniques of emotion regulation, and the mechanisms to cope with stress. However, much of this research is stymied by the lack of availability of large child-written texts. We present a new corpus of child-written text, PoKi, which includes about 62 thousand poems written by children from grades 1 to 12. PoKi is especially useful in studying child language because it comes with information about the age of the child authors (their grade). We analyze the words in PoKi along several emotion dimensions (valence, arousal, dominance) and discrete emotions (anger, fear, sadness, joy). We use non-parametric regressions to model developmental differences from early childhood to late-adolescence. Results show decreases in valence that are especially pronounced during mid-adolescence, while arousal and dominance peaked during adolescence. Gender differences in the developmental trajectory of emotions are also observed. Our results support and extend the current state of emotion development research.

description: This study employs the use of Box-Jenkins’ ARIMA (1,1,0) model for the estimation and forecasts based on the annual data of EPF balances, which serve as a proxy to EPF sustainability, together with the yearly data of possible determinants namely investment earnings, nominal income, elderly population, life expectancy and mortality rate in Malaysia for the 1960 - 2010 and 2010 - 2014 periods, respectively. Amid a negative sentiment and conceivably bleak outlook on the long term EPF inadequacy to provide adequate incomes to elderly persons, the prognosis of this study instead reveals otherwise and is found to be in support for the long term prospect and sustainability of the EPF. With necessary improvements are underway to strengthen the performance of the administered EPF system, it is likely to believe that the EPF organization is committed to promoting its product as a more inclusive and equitable scheme in Malaysia.

description: A metastable austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni steel was processed by selective laser melting with low power, resulting in nearly random crystallographic texture. In-situ tensile loading and neutron diffraction experiments were undertaken and the results indicate high ductility, despite the presence of porosity, and pronounced strain-induced martensitic transformation. A secondary hardening is observed in the mechanical data due to the martensite carrying significant load, upon its formation. The pronounced martensitic transformation is discussed with respect to the initial and the evolving deformation texture and its affinity for forming martensite under uniaxial tensile loading.

description: A lab experiment evaluates the consequences of the palm oil controversy on consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for food products. Palm oil production induces environmental damages, and its consumption presents a health risk. However, the production of alternative oils raises land use issues. In the experiment, successive messages emphasizing the controversial nature of palm oil and palm oil-free products are delivered to participants. Information has a significant influence on WTP when it underlines the negative impact of the related product. This effect is stronger for the palm oil product than for the palm oil-free product. The experiment also compares the welfare effects of two regulatory instruments, namely a consumer information campaign versus a per-unit tax. Because of the controversial nature of both products, the information campaign improves welfare with a much larger impact than the tax.

description: The studies described in this thesis concern the examination of the equine mucosal immune system and the investigation of the efficacy of mucosal vaccination for protection of horses against the common respiratory pathogen, equine influenza virus (H3N8). Stimulation of immune responses at the nasophaymgeal induction site was measured by detection and enumeration of circulating antigen-speciflc antibody-secreting cells (ASC) in the peripheral blood. Cholera toxin B chain (CTB) given intranasally induced CTB-speciflc antibodies in both serum and nasal washes (mucosal effector site) which was preceded by the appearence of CTB-speciflc ASC in the peripheral blood. This confirmed the fiinction of a local immune system in the respiratory tract of the horse, and suggested the existance of a common mucosal immune system in horses. Techniques were developed to measure neutralising antibody in nasal secretions of ponies after infection with influenza virus (strain A/equi-2/Sussex 89) and intranasal vaccination with inactivated virus and CTB. The vaccination protocol, using systemically primed animals, elicited circulating influenza-specific ASCs, serum haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies and nasopharyngeal virus neutralising antibodies. Intranasally vaccinated ponies were completely protected from challenge infection with influenza virus of the homologous strain. This has been the first demonstration of the efficacy of intranasal vaccination using inactivated influenza virus in horses.

description: The center stage of neuro-imaging is currently occupied by studies of functional correlations between brain regions. These correlations define the brain functional networks, which are the most frequently used framework to represent and interpret a variety of experimental findings. In previous work we first demonstrated that the relatively stronger BOLD activations contain most of the information relevant to understand functional connectivity and subsequent work confirmed that a large compression of the original signals can be obtained without significant loss of information. In this work we revisit the correlation properties of these epochs to define a measure of nonlinear dynamic directed functional connectivity (nldFC) across regions of interest. We show that the proposed metric provides at once, without extensive numerical complications, directed information of the functional correlations, as well as a measure of temporal lags across regions, overall offering a different perspective in the analysis of brain co-activation patterns. In this paper we provide for a proof of concept, based on replicating and completing existing results on an Autism database, to discuss the main features and advantages of the proposed strategy for the study of brain functional correlations. These results show new interpretations of the correlations found on this sample.
