description: We study the quantum and thermal phase transition phenomena of the SU(3) Heisenberg model on triangular lattice in the presence of magnetic fields. Performing a scaling analysis on large-size cluster mean-field calculations endowed with a density-matrix-renormalization-group solver, we reveal the quantum phases selected by quantum fluctuations from the massively degenerate classical ground-state manifold. The magnetization process up to saturation reflects three different magnetic phases. The low- and high-field phases have strong nematic nature, and especially the latter is found only via a nontrivial reconstruction of symmetry generators from the standard spin and quadrupolar description. We also perform a semiclassical Monte Carlo simulations to show that thermal fluctuations prefer the same three phases as well. Moreover, we find that exotic topological phase transitions driven by the binding-unbinding of fractional (half-)vortices take place, due to the nematicity of the low- and high-field phases. Possible experimental realization with alkaline-earth-like cold atoms is also discussed.

description: The form of collinear gauge invariance for power suppressed operators in the soft-collinear effective theory is discussed. Using a field redefinition we show that it is possible to make any power suppressed ultrasoft-collinear operators invariant under the original leading order gauge transformations. Our manipulations avoid gauge fixing. The Lagrangians to O(lambda^2) are given in terms of these new fields. We then give a simple procedure for constructing power suppressed soft-collinear operators in SCET_II by using an intermediate theory SCET_I.

description: We study stellar-halo formation using six Milky Way-mass galaxies in FIRE-2 cosmological zoom simulations. We find that $5-40\%$ of the outer ($50-300$ kpc) stellar halo in each system consists of $\textit{in-situ}$ stars that were born in outflows from the main galaxy. Outflow stars originate from gas accelerated by super-bubble winds, which can be compressed, cool, and form co-moving stars. The majority of these stars remain bound to the halo and fall back with orbital properties similar to the rest of the stellar halo at $z=0$.In the outer halo, outflow stars are more spatially homogeneous, metal rich, and alpha-element-enhanced than the accreted stellar halo. At the solar location, up to $\sim 10 \%$ of our kinematically-identified halo stars were born in outflows; the fraction rises to as high as $\sim 40\%$ for the most metal-rich local halo stars ([Fe/H] $> -0.5$). We conclude that the Milky Way stellar halo could contain local counterparts to stars that are observed to form in molecular outflows in distant galaxies. Searches for such a population may provide a new, near-field approach to constraining feedback and outflow physics. A stellar halo contribution from outflows is a phase-reversal of the classic halo formation scenario of Eggen, Lynden-Bell $\&$ Sandange, who suggested that halo stars formed in rapidly $\textit{infalling}$ gas clouds. Stellar outflows may be observable in direct imaging of external galaxies and could provide a source for metal-rich, extreme velocity stars in the Milky Way.

description: Off-topic spoken response detection, the task aiming at predicting whether a response is off-topic for the corresponding prompt, is important for an automated speaking assessment system. In many real-world educational applications, off-topic spoken response detectors are required to achieve high recall for off-topic responses not only on seen prompts but also on prompts that are unseen during training. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for off-topic spoken response detection with high off-topic recall on both seen and unseen prompts. We introduce a new model, Gated Convolutional Bidirectional Attention-based Model (GCBiA), which applies bi-attention mechanism and convolutions to extract topic words of prompts and key-phrases of responses, and introduces gated unit and residual connections between major layers to better represent the relevance of responses and prompts. Moreover, a new negative sampling method is proposed to augment training data. Experiment results demonstrate that our novel approach can achieve significant improvements in detecting off-topic responses with extremely high on-topic recall, for both seen and unseen prompts.

description: This paper studies heat fluxes from contributors and mitigators of urban heat islands using thermal images and weather data. Thermal images were collected from an observatory operating on the rooftop of a building between November 2021 and April 2022. Over the same period, an automatic weather station network was used to measure weather conditions at several locations on a university campus in Singapore. From data collected by the observatory and the automatic weather station network, a method was developed to estimate the heat emitted by building facades, vegetation, and traffic. Before performing the analysis of urban heat fluxes, it was observed that the surface temperature collected from the observatory is sensitive to some variables. After the sensitivity analysis, thermal images were calibrated against measurements of the surface temperature in an outdoor environment. Finally, several contributors and mitigators of urban heat islands were analyzed from heat fluxes assessed with thermal images and weather data. According to thermal images collected by the rooftop observatory, concrete walls are an important contributor to urban heat islands due to the longwave radiation they emit at night. Vegetation, on the other hand, seems to be an effective mitigator because of latent heat fluxes generated by evapotranspiration. Traffic looks to be a negligible source of heat if considered over a small portion of a road. In the future, more efforts can be made to estimate the magnitude of the heat released by an air-conditioning system from thermal images.

Beyond the total : identifying inter- and intra-site variation through ceramic artefacts at Chinese goldmining settlements in Southeast New South Wales, mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries

description: This research examines ceramic collections from overseas Chinese mining settlements in southeast New South Wales, including those from Jembaicumbene, Flanagan's Point, Upper Adelong, Adjungbilly, and Kiandra. The analysis seeks to identify differences within and between these settlements, which were occupied from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth century. In addition, collections from non-Chinese sites in the same region are compared to those of the Chinese. On a broader scale, the research considers the nature of Chinese supply networks. This dissertation uses traditional and non-traditional methods of ceramic analysis to answer major questions, which expand the archaeology of Chinese in Australia. The analyses enable conclusions to be drawn about the active role of vessels in everyday life, not only within the domestic sphere but also in communal aspects of food and feasting. This research provides an understanding of the broader social and economic characteristics of the Chinese population, through the assessment of the differing roles of specific buildings, such as temples, communal ovens and stores, as well as the variation over time in the domestic use of vessels. The analyses provide an insight into the Chinese supply of ceramics and foodstuffs and demonstrate how Western-style ceramics became appropriate substitutes, as those systems changed. This research is the first intra-site analysis of Chinese camps in Australia and also the first to compare contemporary ceramic assemblages from Chinese and non-Chinese sites in the same region. Furthermore, compositional analysis of Chinese sherds has added another dimension, as it has shown that visual similarities do not necessarily relate to chemical similarities. It was previously thought that all brown-glazed storage jars on overseas Chinese sites were made in southern China; but this research, reveals that some of these vessels may have come from northern China. This research has looked beyond the total and highlighted short and long-term occupation sites. These camps were not homogenous or static settlements, they changed over time.

Variation in Emission and Absorption Lines and Continuum Flux by Orbital Phase in Vela X-1

description: High resolution spectral studies were undertaken at orbital phases 0, 0.25 and 0.5 on the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) Vela X-1 using archival Chandra data. We present (a) the first detailed analysis of the multiple strong narrow emission lines present in phase 0.5 (b) an analysis of the absorption of the continuum in phase 0.5, and (c) the first detection of narrow emission and absorption lines in phase 0.25. Multiple fluorescent and H-and He-like emission lines in the band 1.6 - 20 Angstrom in eclipse are partially obscured at phase 0.25 by the X-ray continuum. The phase 0.25 spectrum displays 3 triplets, 2 with a blue-shifted resonance (r) line in absorption and the intercombination (i) and forbidden (f) lines in emission, and shows in absorption other blue-shifted lines seen in emission in eclipse. At phase 0.5 the soft X-ray continuum diminishes revealing an "eclipse-like" spectrum, however line flux values are around 13-fold those in eclipse. We conclude the narrow emission lines in Vela X-1 become apparent when the continuum is blocked from line of sight, either by eclipse or by scattering and/or absorption from a wake or cloud. The H-and He-like lines arise in warm photoionised regions in the stellar wind, while the fluorescent lines (including a Ni K alpha line) are produced in cooler clumps of gas outside these regions. Absorption of the 5-13 Angstrom continuum at phase 0.5 may be caused by an accretion wake comprised of dense stagnant photoionized plasma inside a Stromgren zone. Multiple fluorescent emission lines may be a common feature of the supergiant category of HMXBs.

description: Few-electron systems confined in a quantum dot laterally coupled to a surrounding quantum ring in the presence of an external magnetic field are studied by exact diagonalization. The distribution of electrons between the dot and the ring is influenced by the relative strength of the dot and ring confinement, the gate voltage and the magnetic field which induces transitions of electrons between the two parts of the system. These transitions are accompanied by changes in the periodicity of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of the ground-state angular momentum. The singlet-triplet splitting for a two electron system with one electron confined in the dot and the other in the ring exhibits piecewise linear dependence on the external field due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect for the ring-confined electron, in contrast to smooth oscillatory dependence of the exchange energy for laterally coupled dots in the side-by-side geometry.

 Male. Head. Flagellomere 4, Fig. 15D. Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 5 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare non­setose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite non­setose. Episternum 3 setose. Wing. Length 1.6–1.8 mm. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h non­setose. A1 indicated by no or few setae. Hypopygium (Figs. 15E, F). Sternite 9 large, extending posteriorly to nearly halfway along ventral length of gonocoxa, laterally sharply delimited, posterior margin confluent with more posterior membranous part with convex margin, setae similar to adjacent ventral setae of gonocoxa. Dorsomesial margin of gonocoxa simple, with weak lobes, without megasetae, in position III with 2 sigmoid simple setae arising from common basal body that is as long as setae, in position IV with few setae on long clavate basal body, roundish lobe with long setae near base of latter; gonocoxa apicolaterally with strong setae. Gonostylus long and narrow, curved especially on apical part. Parastylar lobe present, directed obliquely posteriad, with 3 apical setae. Tegmen short and broad, subtriangular, with weak lateral shoulders, which in some slides are not visible at all. Setae on sternite 10 in small oval patch (lobe) on each half.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
 Discussion
 Manota duplex is reminiscent at least superficially of M. perpusilla, especially in the apicodorsal structures of the gonocoxa. The long, curved, not elongated, oval gonostylus; posteriorly directed parastylar lobe; and strong, apicolateral setae of the gonocoxa distinguish M. duplex. For further discussion, see under M. perpusilla. The gonostylus of M. duplex is rather similar to that of M. curvata, but otherwise the species are abundantly different. The clavate lobe at the apex of the gonocoxa is certainly homologous with a similar lobe in M. perpusilla, the triangular posteriorly­directed lobe with that in M. acutangula and similar species, and the transverse lobe with that in species such as M. horrida and M. plusiochaeta.

description: Image segmentation and classification are the two main fundamental steps in pattern recognition. To perform medical image segmentation or classification with deep learning models, it requires training on large image dataset with annotation. The dermoscopy images (ISIC archive) considered for this work does not have ground truth information for lesion segmentation. Performing manual labelling on this dataset is time-consuming. To overcome this issue, self-learning annotation scheme was proposed in the two-stage deep learning algorithm. The two-stage deep learning algorithm consists of U-Net segmentation model with the annotation scheme and CNN classifier model. The annotation scheme uses a K-means clustering algorithm along with merging conditions to achieve initial labelling information for training the U-Net model. The classifier models namely ResNet-50 and LeNet-5 were trained and tested on the image dataset without segmentation for comparison and with the U-Net segmentation for implementing the proposed self-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework. The classification results of the proposed AI framework achieved training accuracy of 93.8% and testing accuracy of 82.42% when compared with the two classifier models directly trained on the input images.

description: Is teaching incompatible with research and vice versa? In this text we evaluate the importance of creating a knowledge society that requires, on one hand, a solid teaching practice, but on the other, the necessary step from teaching to research. We carry out a review of the different situations that academics must overcome to perform their functions as teachers, especially at a higher level and, finally, we propose some alternatives on how to create harmony between the demands of teaching and research. The main questions are: What is the way in which we should face the growing challenge of research productivity within universities? How to approve the curricular evaluation without losing mental health and at the same time satisfactorily comply with administrative assignments, knowledge transfer and generation of it? How to provide the expected result? We conclude that teaching and research should not necessarily be separated and that reading, research and writing can be the transcendent freedom of knowledge through enlightened teaching.

title: Progression of African-Caribbean Students in Further Education: Positive Approaches for Academic Success
Creators: name: Baker-Oxley, Deavon Rose
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: This study explored the academic achievement of African-Caribbean students aged 16-18, including the factors that may influence their achievement, and considered how further education policy and practice may support their academic progression. Department for Education data showed significant and persistent underachievement of these students which could not be accounted for by their socio-economic status, or their attitude towards education. Elements of critical race theory provided the theoretical framework for this thesis, specifically, race as a social construct, that racism is ingrained into everyday interactions, and the intersectionality of race, gender and class. This research employed a case study research style and innovatively combined student responses to form a “collective voice.” Data was gathered using Metaplan, a focus group technique new to research in further education, and a semi-structured questionnaire. 23 students and six teachers participated in the study. The data gathered was coded and common themes identified. These were then analysed in relation to current literature and the research questions. The study found that factors intrinsic to the students, such as aspirations for the future, support received from families and experiences of academic success had a positive influence on their academic achievement. Conversely, structural factors in educational policy and practice were seen to have a negative influence, such as the legacy of colonialism and slavery; low teachers’ expectations; a Eurocentric curriculum as a source of micro-invalidations; and racial stereotypes. Policy and practice recommendations include raising teachers’ awareness of stereotyping; teacher education that develops teachers’ understanding and appreciation of students’ cultures; developing an inclusive curriculum that is empowering for all students; providing improved study skills training, providing targeted guidance and information to access Higher Education; and publication of improved ethnicity data relating to achievement. Methodology recommendations include consideration of critical race theory and the use of Metaplan techniques in educational research.

description: We consider two--dimensional Yukawa theory in the scalar wave background $ϕ(t-x)$. If one takes as initial state in such a background the scalar vacuum corresponding to $ϕ=0$, then loop corrections to a certain part of the Keldysh propagator, corresponding to the anomalous expectation value, grow with time. That is a signal to the fact that under the kick of the $ϕ(t-x)$ wave the scalar field rolls down the effective potential from the $ϕ=0$ position to the proper ground state. We show the evidence supporting these observations.

title: The Role of Muscular TDP-43 in Neuromuscular Junction Development and Progress of ALS
Creators: name: Strah, Nina
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease with fast progression. Patients usually die three to five years after diagnosis. The main characteristics are progressive neurodegeneration, following muscular weakness, and atrophy. The most common cause of death is respiratory muscle failure. Studies have shown that the highlight of the disease is TDP-43 inclusions in neuronal cytoplasm. The symptoms of ALS can be recapitulated in Drosophila melanogaster. The Drosophila‘s ortholog is called TBPH. TBPH knockout flies show locomotion problems, shorter lifespan, and anatomical changes in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).

 Our studies aimed to reveal the function of TBPH in muscles. We took advantage of RNA interference and silenced the protein exclusively in muscles. Moreover, we expressed TBPH in tbphΔ23/- fly and tried to understand whether it can rescue reduced mobility, lifespan, and anatomical properties of NMJ. We observed changes in lifespan, motility, and NMJ structure when TBPH was silenced in muscles. Expression of the protein in tbphΔ23/- Drosophila completely recovered the motility of larvae and the level of proteins located in the postsynaptic compartment of NMJ. One of the proteins was Disc large (Dlg), known as scaffold protein involved in NMJ development and maintenance of NMJ structure. Expression of Dlg recovered the phenotype in terms of mobility, lifespan, and NMJ formation. We also demonstrated that the drop of Dlg levels could be seen in neuroblastoma cells and differentiated iPS cells of ALS patients. With that been discovered, not only have we confirmed the relevance of our studies, but we have also opened a new possibility for drug development and treatment. Moreover, with the research, we contributed to a recent hypothesis that muscles can be involved in the onset of ALS.

title: Social Media in the Lives of Youth with Disabilities in Higher Education in Kenya: Agency, Inclusion and Aspirations
Creators: name: Gathoni, Alice
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: Following the 2018 Global Disability Summit in London and the call to ensure inclusive and equitable education for all, as prescribed in goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this study is timely and significant. It explores the lived experiences of social media usage by youth with disabilities in Higher Education in Kenya. Located within the wider social justice context and responses to disability within the Kenyan education system, the study uses Sen's capability approach to understand what youth with disabilities value about their activities on social media and how this relates to their social and academic participation in Higher Education and aspirations in adulthood. The study worked with seven youth with disabilities from three Universities in Nairobi. Using qualitative and participatory methods, the study argues that the capability approach enables a deep understanding of the different ways that these youth use and experience social media. In particular, it highlights that social media provides a significant space for youth with disabilities to develop their agency, which they then use to shift some offline social barriers so that they are able to pursue valued goals which have previously been inaccessible because of their individual conditions being restricted by the prevailing socially constructed barriers. Hence, these youth are seen to transform the inclusion space as they enter on their own terms without waiting to be included by society, as is often the norm. This is crucial for enhancing their voice and increasing their visibility in offline spaces within HE and, consequently, for their meaningful participation in life in adulthood. The study concludes by suggesting grounds for re-thinking policy orientations on the inclusion of youth with disabilities within the education system.
Fertility preservation in women diagnosed with cancer : a proposal for a nursing competency framework
Creators: name: Van Dijk, Pearl
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Individuals diagnosed with cancer are at risk of compromised fertility as a side effect of cancer treatments. As the survival rate of patients is improving due to advancements in cancer regimens, there is an increased focus on family-building into survivorship. Although assisted reproductive technologies have made the banking and cryopreservation of gametes and reproductive tissue feasible, fertility preservation (FP) remains under-implemented. Barriers to accessing FP care affect all age groups and genders, however, the literature suggests that FP for women of child-bearing age can be particularly complex due to the invasive and potentially time-intensive nature of FP for women. This document will focus on the available knowledge on barriers and facilitators to care including the current and future role of the FP nurse. This knowledge will inform the development of an FP Nursing Competency Framework to help support the advancement of nurses in clinical practice and the improvement of care in this sub-specialty

description: The magnetic and transport properties of La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-δ} film grown on a LaAlO_3 substrate by pulsed-laser deposition are studied. The properties are found to be influenced by the magnetic anisotropy and inhomogeneity. Magnetoresistance anisotropy is determined by the shape anisotropy of the magnetization and the strain-induced magnetic anisotropy due to the film-substrate lattice interaction. Indications of the temperature-driven spin reorientation transition from an out-of plane orderded state at low temperatures to an in-plane ordered state at high temperatures as a result of competition between the mentioned sources of magnetic anisotropy are found.

description: The Charge-Symmetry-Breaking (CSB) character of the nucleon-nucleon interaction is well established. This work presents two different ways of introducing such effects into a nuclear Energy Density Functional (EDF). CSB terms are either coming from the effective theory expansion or are derived from electromagnetic mixing of $ρ^0$ and $ω$ mesons. These terms are then introduced to Skyrme and Quark-Meson-Coupling EDFs, respectively.

title: Capabilities for Big Data: An Empirical Study in a Global Pharmaceutical Company
Creators: name: Grishikashvili, Ketevani
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: The increasing availability of large quantities of digital data (Big Data) and advanced analytic tools is driving many industries to change their practices. Currently there are limited theoretically informed, in depth empirical studies of the processes and activities that needed to leverage Big Data strategically. This research is a response to calls by international scholars for more in depth and theoretically informed studies of on Big Data (e.g. Brynjolfsson et al., 2011; McAfee et al., 2012; Wamba et al., 2015; Braganza et al., 2017; Mikalef et al., 2017). The study frames Big Data as a new resource and adopts the Resource Based View (RBV) and the Dynamic Capabilities (DC) perspective in order to explore the enhancement of existing capabilities and development of new capabilities required to leverage this new resource. The empirical context of this study is a global pharmaceutical company. Employing a qualitative in-depth case-study approach, this research investigates why a Multinational Corporation (MNC) in the pharmaceutical industry adopted Big Data adoption and how it identified and developed capabilities for this new resource. Data from 24 in-depth interviews and observations of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Global managers in two project teams were analysed and synthesised using thematic analysis methods. The findings from this study show that the use of Big Data required new and enhanced capabilities that were developed through the action of dynamic capabilities, which operated as mediators between existing capabilities and the new and enhanced capabilities. Although some elements of these dynamic capabilities were embedded in the organisational processes, the activities of senior managers played a crucial role in their development and use. Further, the findings show that the organisation’s cultural transformation was critical for the operation of the dynamic capabilities identified and the new and enhanced Big Data capabilities. In the case study company the development of a Big Data capabilities was found to be an incremental, extended process. The study makes a number of contributions. It provides an in-depth case study of Big Data preparation in the specific context of a MNC pharmaceutical company that is of value to both academics and practitioners. It provides a theoretically based and empirically validated model of the development of capabilities associated with Big Data adoption. Finally, it makes a contribution to academic theory by contributing to the ongoing discussion in the academic literature of the utility of the concept of Dynamic Capabilities.

description: We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the O(N) model in classical and quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions, for N > 1. We compare numerical results obtained using the Hartree approximation and two next to leading order approximations, the bare vertex approximation and the 2PI-1/N expansion. The later approximations differ through terms of order g^2, where g is the scaled coupling constant, g=λ/N. In this paper we investigate the statement regarding the convergence with respect to g. We find that the differences between these twoapproximation schemes diminish for larger values of N, when λis fixed.

description: The first impression one gets from walking through the commercial streets of Vancouver is that their sole purpose is that of transition and consumption, a result of their embedded prescriptiveness and predictability. A closer inspection, however, reveals spaces that escape this rigid logic. These places are often overlooked and undervalued, but they offer a moment of respite and promote the latency of the imagination.
