description: We determine the gluonic spectral function $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory as well as we found fermionic spectral functions in the strong quenched QED where we found new solutions. Our novel technique provides solutions with the usual branch cut for propagators while not showing any pole structure at the first Riemann sheet (identical with entire complex plane) of complex square of momentum. Implications and further utilizations are briefly adressed for QCD and Standard model calculations.

description: Oblivious RAM (ORAM) is a provable secure primitive to prevent access pattern leakage on the memory bus. It serves as the intermediate layer between the trusted on-chip components and the untrusted external memory systems to modulate the original memory access patterns into indistinguishable memory sequences. By randomly remapping the data blocks and accessing redundant blocks, ORAM prevents access pattern leakage through obfuscation. While there is much prior work focusing on improving ORAM's performance on the conventional DRAM-based memory system, when the memory technology shifts to use non-volatile memory (NVM), new challenges come up as to how to efficiently support crash consistency for ORAM. In this work, we propose EHAP-ORAM, which studies how to persist ORAM construction with an NVM-based memory system. We first analyze the design requirements for a persistent ORAM system and discuss the need to preserve crash consistency and atomicity for both data and ORAM metadata. Next, we discuss some of the challenges in the design of a persistent ORAM system and propose some solutions to those challenges. Then, we propose the modified on-chip ORAM controller architecture. Based on the improved hardware architecture of the ORAM controller on-chip, we propose different persistency protocols to ensure the crash consistency of the ORAM system and satisfy that the metadata in PosMap is safe when it is persisted to NVM in trusted/untrusted off-chip. The proposed architecture and persistency protocol steps minimize the overhead and leakage during the write-back process. Finally, we compared our persistent ORAM with the system without crash consistency support, show that in non-recursive and recursive cases, EHAP-ORAM only incurs 3.36% and 3.65% performance overhead. The results show that the EHAP-ORAM can support efficient crash consistency with minimal performance and hardware overhead.

description: Objective. To determine pharmacy students' impressions of their faculty's interactions with diverse student and patient populations. Methods. Three student focus groups were convened. Eighty-four page transcripts were coded, and emergent themes were identified by qualitative analysis. Results. Students defined diversity as multidimensional beyond traditional categories. Emergent themes were faculty awareness or lack of awareness of cultural diversity, disparate cultural perspectives and preferences within student groups, teaching/learning approaches to prepare students to be more culturally competent, and student group dynamics. First- and second-year students emphasized student-to-student interactions, while third- and fourth-year students emphasized a lack of preparation for the realities of contemporary practice based on instructional methods. Conclusion. Students perceived the majority of their pharmacy faculty to be culturally sensitive and aware, but microaggression and discrimination from faculty and student peers were experienced. Study implications can potentially improve curricular offerings, cultural awareness of faculty and students, and care to diverse patient populations.

description: In many-body localized systems, propagation of information forms a light cone that grows logarithmically with time. However, local changes in energy or other conserved quantities typically spread only within a finite distance. Is it possible to detect the logarithmic light cone generated by a local perturbation from the response of a local operator at a later time? We numerically calculate various correlators in the random-field Heisenberg chain. While the equilibrium retarded correlator $A(t=0)B(t>0)$ is not sensitive to the unbounded information propagation, the out-of-time-ordered correlator $A(t=0)B(t>0)A(t=0)B(t>0)$ can detect the logarithmic light cone. We relate out-of-time-ordered correlators to the Lieb-Robinson bound in many-body localized systems, and show how to detect the logarithmic light cone with retarded correlators in specially designed states. Furthermore, we study the temperature dependence of the logarithmic light cone using out-of-time-ordered correlators.

description: We study a general class of interacting particle systems called kinetically constrained models (KCM) in two dimensions tightly linked to the monotone cellular automata called bootstrap percolation. There are three classes of such models, the most studied being the critical one. In a recent series of works it was shown that the KCM counterparts of critical bootstrap percolation models with the same properties split into two classes with different behaviour. Together with the companion paper by the first author, our work determines the logarithm of the infection time up to a constant factor for all critical KCM, which were previously known only up to logarithmic corrections. This improves all previous results except for the Duarte-KCM, for which we give a new proof of the best result known. We establish that on this level of precision critical KCM have to be classified into seven categories instead of the two in bootstrap percolation. In the present work we establish lower bounds for critical KCM in a unified way, also recovering the universality result of Toninelli and the authors and the Duarte model result of Martinelli, Toninelli and the second author.

description: We study a stochastic SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) epidemic dynamics on network, under the effect of a Markovian regime-switching. We first prove the existence of a unique global positive solution, and find a positive invariant set for the system. Then, we find sufficient conditions for a.s. extinction and stochastic permanence, showing also their relation with the stationary probability distribution of the Markov chain that governs the switching and with the network topology. We provide an asymptotic lower bound for the time average of the sample-path solution under the conditions ensuring stochastic permanence. From this bound, we are able to prove the existence of an invariant probability measure if the condition of stochastic permanence holds. Under a different condition, we prove the positive recurrence and the ergodicity of the regime-switching diffusion.

description: Higher education systems in different countries worldwide have undergone

 important changes and transformations in response to the economic
 structures

 of their respective societies, indicating that there is a need to prepare
 future

 graduates to meet the market’s demands and employers’ requirements. Thus,

 the importance attached to the concept of ‘employability’ has been widely

 explored in higher education contexts. This concern can be justified by
 the great

 demand for highly qualified workers who can contribute to the labour
 market by

 boosting innovation and productivity, particularly in the light of the
 profound

 technological advances that have affected every facet of life. In this
 context, a

 considerable amount of interdisciplinary literature highlights the role
 played by

 digital media in enhancing employability attributes.

 This thesis examines how social media (SM) may help business graduates

 become more employable. It seeks to determine how social media literacy
 (SML)

 improves job searchers' competitiveness in the contemporary
 cut-throat digital

 economy. The abilities and qualities the business sector seeks were
 investigated

 by examining job advertisements for business roles found on the Internet.
 In

 addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with employers and

 business graduates to explore their views on the possible effects of SM on

 employment.

 The findings confirmed that there is indeed a link between SM and
 employability.

 The study emphasised the value of SML in developing job searchers’

 employability skills (human capital) and providing them with job
 opportunities

 (social capital). Furthermore, it confirmed that social media platforms
 give

 learners opportunities for self-directed learning and support the growth
 of their

 self-efficacy and autonomy. Social media can, therefore, enhance aspects
 of the

 curriculum and establish industry partnerships to improve higher education

 institution (HEI) practices, bridging the gap between academic practices
 and

 industry demands and ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for future

 workplaces.

description: We investigate the constraints of crossing symmetry on CFT correlation functions. Four point conformal blocks are naturally viewed as functions on the upper-half plane, on which crossing symmetry acts by PSL(2,Z) modular transformations. This allows us to construct a unique, crossing symmetric function out of a given conformal block by averaging over PSL(2,Z). In some two dimensional CFTs the correlation functions are precisely equal to the modular average of the contributions of a finite number of light states. For example, in the two dimensional Ising and tri-critical Ising model CFTs, the correlation functions of identical operators are equal to the PSL(2,Z) average of the Virasoro vacuum block; this determines the 3 point function coefficients uniquely in terms of the central charge. The sum over PSL(2,Z) in CFT2 has a natural AdS3 interpretation as a sum over semi-classical saddle points, which describe particles propagating along rational tangles in the bulk. We demonstrate this explicitly for the correlation function of certain heavy operators, where we compute holographically the semi-classical conformal block with a heavy internal operator.

Systems resilience in home care for older adults: A human factors perspective
Creators: name: Healey, Janice
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Design not elsewhere classified

description: Home care support for older adults in England is not ready for the challenges and pressures an ageing population is placing on society. Home care services provide practical care support with assessed eligible activities of daily living. It is primarily outsourced by local authorities to the private sector using a ‘time and task’ commissioning model limited to client contact time. Workforce turnover and vacancy rates are the highest in the health and social care sector, and home care workers are amongst the lowest paid occupation in England. This PhD uses a Human Factors Ergonomics (HFE) systems approach to answer the research question; ‘What are the factors that challenge the quality and safety standards of local authority commissioned home care?’ Three empirical studies were conducted with participants working in adult social care and the home care sector using a mixed methods research design and two HFE theoretical frameworks; Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS 2.0) and Concepts for the Application for Resilience Engineering Quality Improvement (CARE QI). SEIPS 2.0 was used to identify work system barriers and facilitators which shape work performance and care outcomes. CARE QI was used to describe the misalignments between work-as-imagined demand and capacities to promote understanding of the adaptations these gaps trigger at the point of care delivery (work-as-done). The results show that time factors trigger resilience adaptability behaviours. These occur as frequent modifications to care support processes and tasks due to misalignments between commissioning arrangements (demand) and work organisation policies and practices (capacities). Analysis of the work-system identified five key performance shaping factors impacting care quality and safety outcomes; time factors, job design, inequality, organisational practices and resilience behaviours. These are all traceable to the commissioning arrangement ‘time and task’ model.
Impact of axisymmetric mass models for dwarf spheroidal galaxies on indirect dark matter searches

description: Dwarf spheroidals are low-luminosity satellite galaxies of the Milky Way highly dominated by dark matter (DM). Therefore, they are prime targets to search for signals from dark matter annihilation using gamma-ray observations. While the typical assumption is that the dark matter density profile of these satellite galaxies can be described by a spherical symmetric Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile, recent observational data of stellar kinematics suggest that the DM halos around these galaxies are better described by axisymmetric profiles. Motivated by such evidence, we analyse about seven years of PASS8 Fermi data for seven classical dwarf galaxies, including Draco, adopting both the widely used NFW profile and observationally-motivated axisymmetric density profiles. For four of the selected dwarfs (Sextans, Carina, Sculptor and Fornax) axisymmetric mass models suggest a cored density profile rather than the commonly adopted cusped profile. We found that upper limits on the annihilation cross section for some of these dwarfs are significantly higher than the ones achieved using an NFW profile. Therefore, upper limits in the literature obtained using spherical symmetric cusped profiles, such as the NFW, might be overestimated. Our results show that it is extremely important to use observationally motivated density profiles going beyond the usually adopted NFW in order to obtain accurate constraints on the dark matter annihilation cross section.

description: How large ecosystems can create and maintain the remarkable biodiversity we see in nature is probably one of the biggest open questions in science, attracting attention from different fields, from Theoretical Ecology to Mathematics and Physics. In this context, modeling the stable coexistence of species competing for limited resources is a particularly challenging task. From a mathematical point of view, coexistence in competitive dynamics can be achieved when dominance among species forms intransitive loops. However, these relationships usually lead to species' relative abundances neutrally cycling without converging to a stable equilibrium. Although in recent years several mechanisms have been proposed, models able to explain species coexistence in competitive communities are still limited. Here we identify locality in the interactions as one of the simplest mechanisms leading to stable species coexistence. We consider a simplified ecosystem where individuals of each species lay on a spatial network and interactions are possible only between nodes within a certain distance. Varying such distance allows to interpolate between local and global competition. Our results demonstrate, within the scope of our model, that species coexist reaching a stable equilibrium when two conditions are met: individuals are embedded in space and can only interact with other individuals within a short distance. On the contrary, when one of these ingredients is missing, large oscillations and neutral cycles emerge.

Dynamics and steady states of a tracer particle in a confined critical fluid

description: The dynamics and the steady states of a point-like tracer particle immersed in a confined critical fluid are studied. The fluid is modeled field-theoretically in terms of an order parameter (concentration or density field) obeying dissipative or conservative equilibrium dynamics and (non-)symmetry-breaking boundary conditions. The tracer, which represents, e.g., a colloidal particle, interacts with the fluid by locally modifying its chemical potential or its correlations. The coupling between tracer and fluid gives rise to a nonlinear and non-Markovian tracer dynamics, which is investigated here analytically and via numerical simulations for a one-dimensional system. From the coupled Langevin equations for the tracer-fluid system we derive an effective Fokker-Planck equation for the tracer by means of adiabatic elimination as well as perturbation theory within a weak-coupling approximation. The effective tracer dynamics is found to be governed by a fluctuation-induced (Casimir) potential, a spatially dependent mobility, and a spatially dependent (multiplicative) noise, the characteristics of which depend on the interaction and the boundary conditions. The steady-state distribution of the tracer is typically inhomogeneous. Notably, when detailed balance is broken, the driving of the temporally correlated noise can induce an effective attraction of the tracer towards a boundary.

description: Field transformation rules of the standard fermionic T-duality require fermionic isometries to anticommute, which leads to complexification of the Killing spinors and results in complex valued dual backgrounds. We generalize the field transformations to the setting with non-anticommuting fermionic isometries and show that the resulting backgrounds are solutions of double field theory. Explicit examples of non-abelian fermionic T-dualities that produce real backgrounds are given. Some of our examples can be bosonic T-dualized into usual supergravity solutions, while the others are genuinely non-geometric. Comparison with alternative treatment based on sigma models on supercosets shows consistency.

description: We calculate all major differential distributions with stable top-quarks at the LHC. The calculation covers the multi-TeV range that will be explored during LHC Run II and beyond. Our results are in the form of high-quality binned distributions. We offer predictions based on three different parton distribution function (pdf) sets. In the near future we will make our results available also in the more flexible fastNLO format that allows fast re-computation with any other pdf set. In order to be able to extend our calculation into the multi-TeV range we have had to derive a set of dynamic scales. Such scales are selected based on the principle of fastest perturbative convergence applied to the differential and inclusive cross-section. Many observations from our study are likely to be applicable and useful to other precision processes at the LHC. With scale uncertainty now under good control, pdfs arise as the leading source of uncertainty for TeV top production. Based on our findings, true precision in the boosted regime will likely only be possible after new and improved pdf sets appear. We expect that LHC top-quark data will play an important role in this process.

description: Interval graphs and interval orders are deeply linked. In fact, edges of an interval graphs represent the incomparability relation of an interval order, and in general, of different interval orders. The question about the conditions under which a given interval graph is associated to a unique interval order (up to duality) arises naturally. Fishburn provided a characterisation for uniquely orderable finite connected interval graphs. We show, by an entirely new proof, that the same characterisation holds also for infinite connected interval graphs. Using tools from reverse mathematics, we explain why the characterisation cannot be lifted from the finite to the infinite by compactness, as it often happens.

The regular semisimple locus of the affine quotient of the cotangent bundle of the Grothendieck-Springer resolution

description: Let $G= GL_n(\mathbb{C})$, the general linear group over the complex numbers, and let $B$ be the set of invertible upper triangular matrices in $G$. Let $\mathfrak{b}=\text{Lie}(B)$. For $μ:T^*(\mathfrak{b}\times \mathbb{C}^n)\rightarrow \mathfrak{b}^*$, where $\mathfrak{b}^*\cong \mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{u}$ and $\mathfrak{u}$ being strictly upper triangular matrices in $\mathfrak{g}=\text{Lie}(G)$, we prove that the Hamiltonian reduction $μ^{-1}(0)^{rss}/\!\!/B$ of the extended regular semisimple locus $\mathfrak{b}^{rss}$ of the Borel subalgebra is smooth, affine, reduced, and scheme-theoretically isomorphic to a dense open locus of $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$. We also show that the $B$-invariant functions on the regular semisimple locus of the Hamiltonian reduction of $\mathfrak{b}\times \mathbb{C}^n$ arise as the trace of a certain product of matrices.

description: In the automotive industry, increasing ecological concerns and demands for higher performance have become lightweight construction a key aspect. Due to the gradual introduction of high strength materials on the one side, and greater consideration with regard to continuous manufacturing technologies on the other side, it is possible nowadays to address the demands that structural and complex automotive parts have to face, from the standpoint of lightweight manufacturing. Thickness, shape and impact conditions constitute the main aspects to consider for such parts and shape conditions in particular require from complex, costly and lengthy procedures, especially when discontinuous forming operations such as stamping and hydro forming procedures are selected. However, continuous forming operations like Roll Forming (RF) can prove to be advantageous and suited for scalable parts (e.g in length) and at the same time be economically reasonable. RF lines as well generally incorporate additional installations to perform multiple forming operations destined to imprint strengthening ribs perform punching operations or weld certain parts. It is in this context where the usefulness of the electromagnetic forming technology for completion of auxiliary operations can be proven, given its flexibility and reasonable investment costs. Electromagnetic forming (EMF) is a contact-free technique where large forces can be imparted to a conductive metallic workpiece by a pure electromagnetic interaction. The produced electromagnetic pressure can produce stresses in the workpiece that are several times larger than the material flow stress. Ultimately this can cause the workpiece to deform plastically and to be accelerated achieving high velocities. Once the velocity is imparted to the workpiece, the shape can be developed either by free or die forming. The work described in this paper explores the potential of the EMF process to adequately form shallow longitudinal ribs or stiffeners in components previously formed utilizing an innovative concept called Flexible Roll Forming, developed at The Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany, by means of magnetic pulse forming, maintaining the integrity of the workpiece while trying to meet industry standard tolerances. Profiles exhibiting hat-like cross sections made of AHSS steels were subjected to localized impulses in order to achieve strengthening features in the roll formed part. ZStE340 steel alloy profiles were first roll formed and then inserted in the EM forming installation designed for the occasion. A high strength copper alloy (Cr-Zr-Cu) was used as a conductor for the single turn coil, placed opposite to the sidewall in the moment of the energy delivery. Formed specimens were subsequently measured to account for existing dimensional deviations.

description: Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon, known as thermophoresis, has been discovered more than a century ago, and yet its microscopic origin is still debated. Here, we show that thermophoresis can be observed in any system such that the transitions between different internal states are modulated by temperature and such that different internal states have different transport properties. We establish thermophoresis as a genuine non-equilibrium effect, whereby a system of currents in real and internal space that is consistent with the thermodynamic necessity of transporting heat from warm to cold regions. Our approach also provides an expression for the Soret coefficient, which decides whether particles accumulate on the cold or on the warm side, that is associated with the correlation between the energies of the internal states and their transport properties, that instead remain system-specific quantities. Finally, we connect our results to previous approaches based on close-to-equilibrium energetics. Our thermodynamically consistent approach thus encompasses and generalizes previous findings.

Unsupervised learning of atomic environments from simple features

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: I present a strategy for unsupervised manifold learning on local atomic environments in molecular simulations based on simple rotation- and permutation-invariant three-body features. These features are highly descriptive, generalize to multiple chemical species, and are human-interpretable. The low-dimensional embeddings of each atomic environment can be used to understand and quantify messy crystal structures such as those near interfaces and defects or well-ordered crystal lattices such as in bulk materials without modification. The same method can also yield collective variables describing collections of particles such as for an entire simulation domain. I demonstrate the method on colloidal crystallization, ice crystals, and binary mesophases to illustrate its broad applicability. In each case, the learned latent space yields insights into the details of the observed microstructures. For ices and mesophases, supervised classifiers are trained based on the learned manifolds and directly compared against a recent neural-network-based approach. Notably, while this method provides comparable classification performance, it can also be deployed on even a handful of observed environments without labels or \textit{a priori} knowledge. Thus, the current approach provides an incredibly versatile strategy to characterize and classify local atomic environments, and may unlock insights in a wide variety of molecular simulation contexts.

description: We investigate the problem of constructing sparse time-frequency representations with flexible frequency resolution, studying the theory of nonstationary Gabor frames in the framework of decomposition spaces. Given a painless nonstationary Gabor frame, we construct a compatible decomposition space and prove that the nonstationary Gabor frame forms a Banach frame for the decomposition space. Furthermore, we show that the decomposition space norm can be completely characterized by a sparseness condition on the frame coefficients and we prove an upper bound on the approximation error occurring when thresholding the frame coefficients for signals belonging to the decomposition space.
