description: Objective: Clinical observations and a limited number of research studies provide evidence that the fragile X premutation may confer risk for autism, executive dysfunction, and psychopathology. The link to autism spectrum symptoms and social cognition deficits with the premutation remains uncertain, and thus was the focus of the present investigation. Method: Our sample included 131 individuals, 42 men/22 women with the FMR1 premutation (mean age = 31.83 ± 8.59 years) with a normal neurological exam, and 48 men/19 women healthy age-matched controls (mean age = 29.48 ± 7.29 years). Individuals completed a comprehensive neuropsychological battery with additional assessments for social cognition, broad autism spectrum, and obsessive–compulsive (OC) symptoms. Results: Premutation carriers self-reported higher rates of autism-related symptoms (Autism Quotient; p = .001). Among males only, premutation carriers showed more atypical social interaction (p p = .014) during standardized clinical examination on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) relative to controls. Female premutation carriers reported significantly higher rates of OC symptoms compared to control females (p = .012). Molecular measures defining the expanded premutation (FMR1 CGG repeat length and/or mRNA) were significantly associated with a measure of theory of mind (Reading the Mind in the Eyes Task). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate a higher rate of broad autism spectrum symptoms in some males with the premutation and provide evidence for an obsessive–compulsive subtype in female premutation carriers.

description: There are many ways machine learning and big data analytics are used in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, including predictions, risk management, diagnostics, and prevention. This study focuses on predicting COVID-19 patient shielding -- identifying and protecting patients who are clinically extremely vulnerable from coronavirus. This study focuses on techniques used for the multi-label classification of medical text. Using the information published by the United Kingdom NHS and the World Health Organisation, we present a novel approach to predicting COVID-19 patient shielding as a multi-label classification problem. We use publicly available, de-identified ICU medical text data for our experiments. The labels are derived from the published COVID-19 patient shielding data. We present an extensive comparison across 12 multi-label classifiers from the simple binary relevance to neural networks and the most recent transformers. To the best of our knowledge this is the first comprehensive study, where such a range of multi-label classifiers for medical text are considered. We highlight the benefits of various approaches, and argue that, for the task at hand, both predictive accuracy and processing time are essential.

description: This work establishes a closed-form analysis for two-dimensional transient heat transfer in an absorber plate based on the thermal wave model when the collector starts to work. The method of separation of variables is employed to determine the exact thermal response during the starting of a solar collector. The thermal field is represented by 2-D thermal contours and 3-D surface plots to provide an accurate prediction compared to the 1-D analysis using the time-lag theory. An influence of Fourier number on the heat flow in the absorber plate is studied for different thermal relaxation times. The present analysis highlights that the magnitude of plate temperature depends significantly on the physical geometry. Differences in two models of heat propagation, viz. classical and thermal wave, in the absorber plate have an alteration in predicted collector performances. The present study also develops another design situation for heat transfer in the absorber plate when the collector shutdowns to the ambient state from its steady condition. Laplace Transform Method (LTM) in combination with the product solution method uses to determine the temperature with the initial condition represented as a steady case. Due to the lagging nature of thermal behavior, a significant difference between the classical and thermal wave models for the propagation of heat was observed, and also this study determines the exact time to be taken to reach the dead state for the complete shutdown of the collector.

description: We calculate density profiles for self-gravitating clusters of an ideal Bose-Einstein gas with nonrelativistic energy-momentum relation and macroscopic mass at thermal equilibrium. Our study includes clusters with planar symmetry in dimensions $\mathcal{D}=1,2,3$, clusters with cylindrical symmetry in $\mathcal{D}=2,3$, and clusters with spherical symmetry in $\mathcal{D}=3$. Wall confinement is imposed where needed to prevent escape. The length scale and energy scale in use for the gaseous phase render density profiles for gaseous macrostates independent of total mass. Density profiles for mixed-phase macrostates have a condensed core surrounded by a gaseous halo. The spatial extension of the core is negligibly small on the length scale tailored for the halo. The mechanical stability conditions as evident in caloric curves permit multiple macrostates to coexist. Their status regarding thermal equilibrium is examined by a comparison of free energies. The onset of condensation takes place at a nonzero temperature in all cases. The critical singularities and the nature of the phase transition vary with the symmetry of the cluster and the dimensionality of the space.

description: We investigate nematic quantum phase transitions in two different Dirac fermion models. The models feature twofold and fourfold, respectively, lattice rotational symmetries that are spontaneously broken in the ordered phase. Using negative-sign-free quantum Monte Carlo simulations and an $ε$-expansion renormalization group analysis, we show that both models exhibit continuous phase transitions. In contrast to generic Gross-Neveu dynamical mass generation, the quantum critical regime is characterized by large velocity anisotropies, with fixed-point values being approached very slowly. Hence both experimental and numerical investigations will not be representative of the infrared fixed point, but of a crossover regime characterized by drifting exponents.

description: This thesis explores ‘strategies from below’, i.e., the strategies employed by migrant consumers in making sense of their ethnic identification in navigating intergenerational cultural transmission, and in interacting with identity mythologies. Prior consumer research within consumer culture theory has focussed on the challenges and difficulties associated with the new subjectivities emerging from globalisation and mobility. This research, however, takes an asset perspective (Roy, 2016) to understanding migrant consumers by focusing on the empowering and uplifting aspects of their cultural heritage, the sense of self they derive from particular ways of ‘doing family’ (Morgan, 1996), and their experiences of believing themselves to be privileged ‘model minority’ migrants. In this way, the thesis aims to present a more diverse representation of ethnic subjectivities that can provide theoretically relevant insights for reconsidering how we think about consumer ethnicity in the future. The context within which the aforementioned phenomena are analysed is the lives of first-, 1.5-, and second-generation middle-class, Hindu British Indian women. The thesis is comprised of three research papers, each employing a different analytical lens – Bourdieu’s (1979) concepts of field, capital, and habitus; Zontini and Reynold’s (2018) transnational family habitus; and Grzymala-Kazlowska’s (2016) social anchoring theory - for understanding migrant consumers’ adaptations to the receiving society. The emergent findings show how consumers leverage subcultural capital to gain distinction in society, how we can understand successful intergenerational cultural transmission among ethnic minorities, and how consumers can mobilise myths about their ethnicity to express personal ethnic identifications. The thesis makes contributions to our understanding of how migrant consumers overcome challenges by drawing upon unique resources available to these groups. Additionally, by taking a generational lens to understanding consumer ethnicity, this thesis extends our understanding of the evolution of experiences and constructions of ethnicity beyond the dominant post-assimilationist acculturation paradigm.

description: Setting up strong Josephson coupling in van der Waals materials in close proximity to superconductors offers several opportunities both to inspect fundamental physics and to develop novel cryogenic quantum technologies. Here we show evidence of Josephson coupling in a planar few-layer black Phosphorus junction. The planar geometry allows us to probe the junction behavior by means of external gates, at different carrier concentrations. Clear signatures of Josephson coupling are demonstrated by measuring supercurrent flow through the junction at milli Kelvin temperatures. Manifestation of Fraunhofer pattern with a transverse magnetic field is also reported, confirming the Josephson coupling. These findings represent the first evidence of proximity Josephson coupling in a planar junction based on a van der Waals material beyond graphene and open the way to new studies, exploiting the peculiar properties of exfoliated black phosphorus thin flakes.

description: Porous carbon ablators offer cost-effective thermal protection for aerospace vehicles during re-entry into planetary atmospheres. However, the exploration of more distant planets requires the development of ablators that are able to withstand stronger thermal radiation conditions. Here, we report the development of bio-inspired porous carbon insulators with pore sizes that are deliberately tuned to enhance heat-shielding performance by increasing scattering of high-temperature thermal radiation. Pore size intervals that promote scattering are first estimated using an established model for the radiative contribution to the thermal conductivity of porous insulators. On the basis of this theoretical analysis, we identify a polymer additive that enables the formation of pores in the desired size range through the polymerization-induced phase separation of a mixture of phenolic resin and ethylene glycol. Optical and electron microscopy, porosimetry and mechanical tests are used to characterize the structure and properties of porous insulators prepared with different resin formulations. Insulators with pore sizes in the optimal scattering range reduce laser-induced damage of the porous structures by up to 42%, thus offering a promising and simple route for the fabrication of carbon ablators for enhanced thermal protection at high temperatures.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Mitigation and control of urban air pollution in Beijing
Creators: name: Ansari, Tabish
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: Outdoor air pollution kills more than 4 million people around the world per year and heavy pollution episodes continue to occur especially around large urban centres. In addition to long-term mitigation strategies, short-term emission controls are needed to prevent heavy pollution episodes in megacities such as Beijing. Such controls have been implemented with reasonable success in the past, notably during mega-events, but need to be carefully evaluated to develop a robust mitigation strategy for future. In this work, the 10-day long controls implemented before the APEC summit in Beijing during November 2014 were evaluated for their eectiveness using an online atmospheric chemical transport model WRF-Chem. The controls were found to be only partly responsible for the improvement in air quality during the summit period, while the rest of the improvement was due to favourable meteorology which reduced pollutant levels signicantly as compared to the levels before the control period. The controls were found to be insucient in meeting national air quality standards if applied during periods with more stagnant conditions. Sensitivity studies were performed to identify temporally-resolved source contributions from various sectors and regions. It was found that controls on local emissions benet air quality on the same day, controls on regional emissions show peak benets a day or two after the start of controls and controls on distant emissions show peak benets three to four days later. Local and regional residential and industry sectors were found to dominate contributions to PM2.5 levels in Beijing. A Gaussian statistical technique was used to replace the model behaviour over Beijing with a fast emulator to generate concentration response surfaces for emission reductions across various sectors and regions. These results were utilized to develop an optimal policy for short-term emission controls in Beijing and were implemented in an automatic air quality forecasting and emission prescription system which runs the model successively with reduced emissions to meet daily air quality targets and outputs the magnitude and timing of controls needed across various sectors and regions to prevent heavy pollution episodes in Beijing. This is a novel application of the popular method called Model Predictive Control often used in the petrochemical industry, to air quality modelling. The framework developed here is for Beijing but can be readily adopted for any other polluted region of the world.

description: Understanding the best known parameters, performance, and systematic behavior of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) remain open research questions, even as the algorithm gains popularity. We introduce QAOAKit, a Python toolkit for the QAOA built for exploratory research. QAOAKit is a unified repository of preoptimized QAOA parameters and circuit generators for common quantum simulation frameworks. We combine, standardize, and cross-validate previously known parameters for the MaxCut problem, and incorporate this into QAOAKit. We also build conversion tools to use these parameters as inputs in several quantum simulation frameworks that can be used to reproduce, compare, and extend known results from various sources in the literature. We describe QAOAKit and provide examples of how it can be used to reproduce research results and tackle open problems in quantum optimization.

description: We introduce the one-dimensional quasireciprocal lattices where the forward hopping amplitudes between nearest neighboring sites $\{ t+t_{jR} \}$ are chosen to be a random permutation of the backward hopping $\{ t+t_{jL} \}$ or vice versa. The values of $\{ t_{jL} \}$ (or $\{t_{jR} \}$) can be periodic, quasiperiodic, or randomly distributed. We show that the Hamiltonian matrices are pseudo-Hermitian and the energy spectra are real as long as $\{ t_{jL} \}$ (or $\{t_{jR} \}$) are smaller than the threshold value. While the non-Hermitian skin effect is always absent in the eigenstates due to the global cancellation of local nonreciprocity, the competition between the nonreciprocity and the accompanying disorders in hopping amplitudes gives rise to energy-dependent localization transitions. Moreover, in the quasireciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models with staggered hopping $t_{jL}$ (or $t_{jR}$), topologically nontrivial phases are found in the real-spectra regimes characterized by nonzero winding numbers. Finally, we propose an experimental scheme to realize the quasireciprocal models in electrical circuits. Our findings shed new light on the subtle interplay among nonreciprocity, disorder, and topology.

description: Six new complexes of copper(II) coordinated with O,N,O-tridentate Schiff base dianions were synthesized and structurally characterized. The solid-state structures of 1–6 contain four-coordinate mononuclear copper(II) units with a slightly distorted square planar geometry. Complexes 1 and 4 derived from d-tyrosine have an infinite 1-D, right-handed helical chain, while 5 derived from l-tyrosine has an infinite 1-D, left-handed helical chain. Inhibitions of jack bean urease by 1–6 have been investigated, and potent inhibitory activities with IC50 range of 2.15 ± 0.11–32.12 ± 0.65 μM have been observed for these copper(II) complexes. A docking analysis using a DOCK program was conducted to position 4 into the jack bean urease active site to determine the probable binding conformation.

description: Corneal wound healing is a highly regulated biological process that is of importance for reducing the risk of blinding corneal infections and inflammations. Traditional eye drop was the main approach for promoting corneal wound healing. However, its low bioavailability required a high therapeutic concentration, which can lead to ocular or even systemic side effects. To develop a safe and effective method for treating corneal injury, we fabricated rutin-encapsulated gelatin hydrogel/contact lens composites by dual crosslinking reactions including in situ free radical polymerization and carboxymethyl cellulose/N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide crosslinking. In vitro drug release results evidenced that rutin in the composites could be sustainedly released for up to 14 days. In addition, biocompatibility assay indicated nontoxicity of the composites. Finally, the effect of rutin-encapsulated composites on the healing of the corneal injury in rabbits was investigated. The injury was basically cured in corneas using rutin-encapsulated composites (healing rate, 98.3% ± 0.7%) at 48 h post-operation, while the damage was still present in corneas using the composite (healing rate, 87.0% ± 4.5%). Further proteomics analysis revealed that corneal wound healing may be promoted by the ERK/MAPK and PI3K/AKT signal pathways. These results inform a potential intervention strategy to facilitate corneal wound healing in humans.

description: The focus of structural balance theory is dedicated to social benefits, while in a real network individual benefits sometimes get the importance as well. In Strauss's model, the local minima are modeled by considering an individual term besides a social one and the assumption is based on equal strength of individual benefits. The results show that the competition between two terms leads to a phase transition between individual and social benefits and there is a critical point, $CP$, that represents a first-order phase transition in the network. Concerning a real network of relations, individuals adjust the strength of their relationships based on the benefits they acquire from. Therefore, addressing heterogeneity in the individual interactions, we study a modified version of Strauss's model in which the first term represents the heterogeneous individual benefit by $θ_{ij}$, and the coefficient of the second term, $α$, measures the strength of social benefit. Our studies show that there is a region where the triangles are in a crumpled state rather than being dispersed in the network and increasing the heterogeneity of individual benefits results in the narrower region of crumpled state. Out of this region, the network is a mixture of links and triangles and the value of $α$ determines whether the individual benefit or social benefit overcomes. For the small value of $α$ the individual benefit dominates whereas in the large value of $α$ the social benefit overcomes.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We derive fourth post-Newtonian (4PN) contributions to the Keplerian-type parametric solution associated with the conservative dynamics of eccentric, non-spinning compact binaries. The solution has been computed while ignoring certain zero-average, oscillatory terms arising due to 4PN tail effects. We provide explicit expressions for the parametric solution and various orbital elements in terms of the conserved energy, angular momentum and symmetric mass ratio. Canonical perturbation theory (along with the technique of Pade approximant) is used to incorporate the 4PN nonlocal-in-time tail effects within the action-angles framework. We then employ the resulting solution to obtain an updated inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) waveform that models the coalescence of non-spinning, moderately eccentric black hole binaries, influenced by arXiv:1709.02007. Our updated waveform is expected to be valid over similar parameter range as the above reference. We also present a related waveform which makes use of only the post-Newtonian equations and thus is valid only for the inspiral stage. This waveform is expected to work for a much larger range of eccentricity ($e_t \lesssim 0.85$) than our full IMR waveform (which assumes circularization of the binaries close to merger). We finally pursue preliminary data analysis studies to probe the importance of including the 4PN contributions to the binary dynamics while constructing gravitational waveform templates for eccentric mergers.

description: Six new complexes of copper(II) coordinated with O,N,O-tridentate Schiff base dianions were synthesized and structurally characterized. The solid state structures of 1-6 contain four-coordinate mononuclear copper(II) units with a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. Complexes 1 and 4 derived from D-tyrosine have an infinite one-dimensional, right-handed helical chain, while 5 derived from L-tyrosine has an infinite one-dimensional, left-handed helical chain. Inhibitions of jack bean urease by 1-6 have been investigated, and potent inhibitory activities with IC50 range of 2.15 ± 0.11~32.12 ± 0.65 μM have been observed for these copper(II) complexes. A docking analysis using a DOCK program was conducted to position 4 into the jack bean urease active site to determine the probable binding conformation.

description: Recent work reports disparate performance for intersectional racial groups across face recognition tasks: face verification and identification. However, the definition of those racial groups has a significant impact on the underlying findings of such racial bias analysis. Previous studies define these groups based on either demographic information (e.g. African, Asian etc.) or skin tone (e.g. lighter or darker skins). The use of such sensitive or broad group definitions has disadvantages for bias investigation and subsequent counter-bias solutions design. By contrast, this study introduces an alternative racial bias analysis methodology via facial phenotype attributes for face recognition. We use the set of observable characteristics of an individual face where a race-related facial phenotype is hence specific to the human face and correlated to the racial profile of the subject. We propose categorical test cases to investigate the individual influence of those attributes on bias within face recognition tasks. We compare our phenotype-based grouping methodology with previous grouping strategies and show that phenotype-based groupings uncover hidden bias without reliance upon any potentially protected attributes or ill-defined grouping strategies. Furthermore, we contribute corresponding phenotype attribute category labels for two face recognition tasks: RFW for face verification and VGGFace2 (test set) for face identification.

Women and renunciation in Bengal Vaishnava Sahajiya tradition
Creators: name: Kidpromma, Amnuaypond
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: This research is an ethnographic study of the Bengal Vaishnava Sahajiya tradition, which is the tantric influenced tradition blended together with Bengali devotion. Esoteric ritual is the Vaishnava Sahajiya key religious practice which leads the practitioners to liberation as well as marginalisation. Through participant observation, I draw on the unconventional lives and renunciant experiences of Vaishnava Sahajiya female renouncers to highlight the diversity in the lives of third-world women and the variety of female renunciation in South Asia. Brahmanical renunciant themes of celibacy, solitude and social engagement appearing in the Vaishnava religious practices of brahmacharya, madhukari and sadhu seva, will respectively be taken into account in analysing female renouncers’ positions and how they exercise their agency within the Vaishnava context and in the broader context of South Asia. Female agency as seen in the Vaishnava tradition will demonstrate that third-world women, South Asian women in particular, do not adhere to the typical perceptions of them attributed by some Western Feminists, being powerless, subordinated and victims of a patriarchal system. Indeed, women in the context of Vaishnava are under patriarchal control where men either of this worldly (householder) or the other worldly (renouncer) are dominant actors. The women, however, make the most of their lives by utilising womanhood, motherhood and wifehood qualities in a male defined renunciant sphere. The extent to which Vaishnava female practitioners become autonomous actors and gain the most benefit from their marginalised situation is to conform to what has been prescribed to them; that is, being good Bengali women whose lives are valued by being dependent to either a male partner, gurus, disciples, or lay the community.

description: During the aging process, dimers of dietary vitamin A accumulated in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Vitamin A dimer-mediated photooxidation resulted in RPE apoptosis, which is associated with age-related degenerative disease of retina, leading to blindness. It has been reported that proanthocyanidin-rich grape seed extract reduces oxidative stress in the eye. In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanism of photooxidation-induced apoptosis inhibition by procyanidins B2 (PB2), one of the main components of grape seed proanthocyanidin. To mimic vitamin A dimer-mediated photooxidation, ARPE-19 cells that accumulated vitamin A dimer, A2E, were used as a model system. Exposure of A2E loaded ARPE-19 cells to blue light induced ER stress and resulted in significant apoptosis. Pretreatment of blue light-exposed A2E containing ARPE-19 cells with PB2 inhibited apoptosis, increased the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in the mitochondria, attenuated ROS and cytochrome c release, and decreased caspase cleavage. Additionally, PB2 inhibited the phosphorylation of ER stress markers elF2α and IRE1α and reduced CHOP expression. Moreover, PB2 inhibition of apoptosis is dependent on the UPR chaperone GRP78, indicating PB2 inhibits vitamin A dimer-mediated apoptosis in RPE cells by activating the UPR.
