description: Rapid urbanization enhances the desirability of policies for preserving open space but policies intended to preserve open space may extend the urban boundary and create leapfrog development. We investigate this potential conflict between open space preservation and urban sprawl conceptually and empirically using data from the Baltimore-Washington suburbs. In accord with previous theoretical and empirical results, the estimated econometric model indicates that both zoning and forest planting requirements contribute to sprawl by increasing the amount of land needed to accommodate the current number of households. These results point to a conflict between preserving open space incorporated into private building lots or internal to sub-divisions and public open space at the urban fringe.
Diffusive Nuclear Burning in Neutron Star Envelopes

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a new mode of hydrogen burning on neutron stars (NSs) called diffusive nuclear burning (DNB). In DNB, the burning occurs in the exponentially suppressed tail of hydrogen that extends to the hotter regions of the envelope where protons are readily captured. Diffusive nuclear burning changes the compositional structure of the envelope on timescales $\sim 10^{2-4} {\rm yrs}$, much shorter than otherwise expected. This mechanism is applicable to the physics of young pulsars, millisecond radio pulsars (MSPs) and quiescent low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs).

description: Vrātyas have been used in various macro-historical models of South Asia for explaining anomalies in the Vedic literature and the historical developments surrounding it. This paper examines the broad contours of the dominant contemporary theoretical models. I begin with Jan Heesterman’s orthogenetic theory of Vedic religion. Then, I consider Harry Falk’s brotherhood model, an adaptation of Heesterman’s basic model giving more detailed and complete textual engagement with vrātya sources. I then examine the work of scholars who use vrātya sources to support a two-wave Indo-Āryan migration theory, in contrast to orthogenetic approaches. I then examine the work of two scholars, G. U. Thite and Frank Köhler, who criticize the historical and textual methods of two-wave Indo-Āryan migration theorists. Finally, I suggest that Dominick LaCapra’s approach to intellectual history, following Mikhail Bakhtin and Martin Heidegger, could be useful to think with for further investigation of vrātya textual sources and history.

description: The autonomous flying agents in a Network-centric environment and brings out various security threats and various techniques of Cryptography. Primary Focus is on study and implementation of how cryptographic algorithms can be effectively be used in a warfare scenario. The data security is the utmost key factor for the protection of data in such environments. The paper proposes mechanisms secured data transmission from the command center (which can be the sending flying agent) to shooter target. The command center and shooter target have a unique set of encryption and decryption key which are created randomly by calibrating the security level at run time. In the beginning, the encryption key used for encrypting data is received from a shooter target when the communication is authenticated through UDP sockets. The encrypted data is sent to the shooter target with the signed signature and command center's encryption key. The encrypted data and signature are then decrypted and verified respectively at the shooter target. The time analysis is performed and observed inputs are provided to the command center.

description: Availability of seed and farm production factors, i.e., land and farm labour, formed a single factor that was found to be the most important factor influencing East-Javanese farmers’ decision to purchase seed. While such would suggest that the resulting impact of the factor may influence the amount of seed purchased by farmers, seed is often unavailable when it is required. The lack of availability of good quality seed at planting time often means that farmers will be forced to plant whatever seed is available. Consequently, farmers continue the traditional practice of retaining some proportion of their yield for use as seed. Irrespective, farmers normally attempt to purchase seed when the seed they retained from the previous harvest is no longer profitable. However, farmers are unwilling to purchase seed, unless they believe that the seed will substantially generate profit. Since a large volume is needed, seed is usually the costliest single input in potato production. In addition to being costly, seed potatoes are highly variable in quality. Therefore, whenever they want to renew their seed, farmers are actually taking a great risk. With additional risks arising from seasonal variation and ware potato price fluctuation, farmers usually use some risk reduction strategies including purchasing seed from nearby, reputable suppliers or from a recognised growing area.

description: Complex terrain features - in particular, environmental conditions, high population density and potential socio-economic damage - make the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) of particular interest regarding the study of deep convection and related severe weather. In this research, 10 years of Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud observations are combined with Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS) rainfall data to characterize the spatio-temporal distribution of deep convective clouds (DCCs) and their relationship to extreme precipitation. From monthly distributions, wet and dry phases are identified for cloud fraction, deep convective cloud frequency and convective precipitation. For both DCC and extreme precipitation events, the highest frequencies align just over the higher elevations of the TMVB. A clear relationship between DCCs and terrain features, indicating the important role of orography in the development of convective systems, is noticed. For three sub-regions, the observed distributions of deep convective cloud and extreme precipitation events are assessed in more detail. Each sub-region exhibits different local conditions, including terrain features, and are known to be influenced differently by emerging moisture fluxes from the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. The observed distinct spatio-temporal variabilities provide the first insights into the physical processes that control the convective development in the study area. A signal of the midsummer drought in Mexico (i.e., “canícula”) is recognized using MODIS monthly mean cloud observations.

description: Two-dimensional electron-hole gases in colloidal semiconductors have a wide variety of applications. Therefore, a proper physical understanding of these materials is of great importance. In this paper we present a detailed theoretical analysis of the recent experimental results by Tomar et al., that show an unexpected stability of excitons in CdSe nanoplatelets at high photoexcitation densities. Including the screening effects by free charges on the exciton properties, our analysis shows that CdSe nanoplatelets behave very differently from bulk CdSe, and in particular do not show a crossover to an electron-hole plasma in the density range studied experimentally, even though there is substantial overlap between the excitons at the highest densities achieved. From our results we also conclude that a quantum degenerate exciton gas is realized in the experiments, which opens the prospect of observing superfluidity in CdSe nanoplatelets in the near future.

description: We present a multi-layer single-event upset mitigation strategy implemented in a low-cost Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. The implementation is targeted for a trigger data router for the ATLAS muon spectrometer upgrade. The mitigation strategy employs three layers of protection to improve overall FPGA design robustness: use of triple-modular redundancy for FPGA fabric logic and embedded soft-error mitigation in the first layer; further enhancement with multi-boot FPGA reconfiguration across multiple copies of configuration memory in the second layer; and FPGA power cycling and configuration memory re-initialization in the third layer. The effectiveness of this scheme has been evaluated at two different neutron facilities, LANSCE and NCSR Demokritos, with 800 MeV and 25 MeV beam energies, respectively. Testing was performed with a similar configuration to that planned for final operation. We discuss the testing strategy and summarize the test results to estimate the expected data loss over 10 years of operation in the ATLAS experiment.

description: The non-market component of forest standing value is considered by many to exceed the value of market goods from the forest, but this part of forest standing value is usually omitted from economic models that are used to determine the optimal forest rotation. These models therefore produce erroneous results. It is argued that for the Mountain Ash forests of South-Eastern Australia, a standardised version of the above ground biomass function (AGBF) of the dominant tree can provide a useful representation of the non-market part of forest standing value. An economic model of optimal forest rotation, which includes a standardised version of the AGBF, is used to find the minimum valuation of non-market standing value which produces the result that the forest should be preserved.

description: We demonstrate the classical stability of the weak/Planck hierarchy within the Randall-Sundrum scenario, incorporating the Goldberger-Wise mechanism and higher-derivative interactions in a systematic perturbative expansion. Such higher-derivative interactions are expected if the RS model is the low-energy description of some more fundamental theory. Generically, higher derivatives lead to ill-defined singularities in the vicinity of effective field theory branes. These are carefully treated by the methods of classical renormalization.

description: The rate of the nuclear reaction $^3He+μ^- \to ^3H+γ+ν_μ$ has been calculated using both the elementary particle model (EPM) approach and the impulse approximation (IA) approach. Using the EPM approach, the exclusive statistical radiative muon capture (RMC) rate for photon energy greater than 57 MeV is found to be $0.245 s^{-1}$ and the ordinary muon capture (OMC) rate to be $1503 s^{-1}$. The IA calculation exhibits a slight dependence on the type of trinucleon wave functions used. The difference between the IA and EPM calculation is larger for RMC than for OMC. To resolve the difference between the two approaches a more detailed investigation including meson exchange corrections will be required.

description: User entrepreneurs rely on regular consumers when starting their business, for example, when raising creative and financial support. This research examines regular consumers’ opinions with regard to the future business performance of green vs. non-green user entrepreneurs. We build on previous consumer behavior research on consumers’ performance perceptions. Specifically, consumers perceive products that use green, environmentally friendly technologies as having inferior performance compared to products that use traditional technologies. We investigate whether this so called “sustainability liability” effect can also be found in consumers’ perceptions of green user entrepreneurs’ performance. We ran an online scenario experiment with regular consumers who assessed the business performance of several (green vs. non-green) user entrepreneurs. Results reveal a “sustainability asset” effect for perceptions of green user entrepreneurs, such that consumers with strong environmental values perceived the business performance of green user entrepreneurs as superior compared to non-green user entrepreneurs. Consumers with weak environmental values perceived green and non-green entrepreneurs as equally performant. We discuss possible explanations of our findings. Furthermore, we propose potential consequences of our results both for consumers’ intentions to support user entrepreneurs as well as for user entrepreneurs’ motivation to engage in green innovations.

description: We solve the classic albedo and Milne problems of plane-parallel illumination of an isotropically-scattering half-space when generalized to a Euclidean domain $\mathbb{R}^d$ for arbitrary $d \ge 1$. A continuous family of pseudo-problems and related $H$ functions arises and includes the classical 3D solutions, as well as 2D "Flatland" and rod-model solutions, as special cases. The Case-style eigenmode method is applied to the general problem and the internal scalar densities, emerging distributions, and their respective moments are expressed in closed-form. Universal properties invariant to dimension $d$ are highlighted and we find that a discrete diffusion mode is not universal for $d > 3$ in absorbing media. We also find unexpected correspondences between differing dimensions and between anisotropic 3D scattering and isotropic scattering in high dimension.

 Stephensen (1947) was the first to use ‘ Microarcturus ’ as a generic name after Nordenstam’s publication. Sheppard (1957) included Stephensen’s species in her synonymy of her ‘sp. n.’ and selected a holotype for it. Her name is both a synonym and a subjective homonym of Stephensen’s (1947) species which she realized was identical.

Towards mass individualisation: innovation toolkit for multi-level optimisation of open platform architecture products (OPAP)
Creators: name: Sikhwal, Ravi Kumar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Product design for Mass Individualisation (MI) is a new product design paradigm comprising an open hardware platform and multiple modules that are integrated with the platform. It gives freedom to end-users to integrate different modules into the platform as per their choice. To realise this approach and convert it into an industrial practice, this thesis identifies key changes in traditional product design and customisation approaches (Context, Ecosystem, Perspective, Vendor, Competition, Access), key components that need to be focused on (Design & Development, Manufacturing, Assembly, Sustainability) and technologies that need to be integrated (Data mining, AI, IoT, 3D printing, Simulation, Product realisation). The findings from an industrial questionnaire survey show that the end product from MI will be more creative and innovative with 76% of responses in agreement, and offers more individualised (more than 80% of responses in agreement) and technologically advanced products (54% of responses in agreement). Open platform architecture products (OPAP) are the key enablers for MI. A framework for the Innovation toolkit for the end-user is developed in the second phase of research. The toolkit uses a multi-level optimisation model to identify the optimal OPAP design configuration to satisfy the exact needs of end-users. The toolkit design has been approached in four different steps: Modelling of OPAP; Modelling of evaluation measures and evaluation indices with end-user preferences; Identification of the optimal module options for every configuration; Configuration optimisation. The toolkit has been applied to three product platforms to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the methodology. A case study on an OPAP smartwatch finds an optimised configuration with a better customer satisfaction index, 0.830, than the initial index of 0.764. These case studies show that the developed innovation toolkit can readily be applied to this type of product development to obtain an optimised and highly individualised end product.

description: Urbanization has been associated with a loss of overall biodiversity and a simultaneous increase in the abundance of a few species that thrive in urban habitats, such as highly adaptable mosquito vectors. To better understand how mosquito communities differ between levels of urbanization, we analyzed mosquito samples from inside private homes submitted to the citizen science project ‘Mückenatlas’. Applying two urbanization indicators based on soil sealing and human population density, we compared species composition and diversity at, and preferences towards, different urbanization levels. Species composition between groups of lowest and highest levels of urbanization differed significantly, which was presumably caused by reduced species richness and the dominance of synanthropic mosquito species in urban areas. The genus Anopheles was frequently submitted from areas with a low degree of urbanization, Aedes with a moderate degree, and Culex and Culiseta with a high degree of urbanization. Making use of citizen science data, this first study of indoor mosquito diversity in Germany demonstrated a simplification of communities with increasing urbanization. The dominance of vector-competent species in urban areas poses a potential risk of epidemics of mosquito-borne diseases that can only be contained by a permanent monitoring of mosquitoes and by acquiring a deeper knowledge about how anthropogenic activities affect vector ecology.

description: This paper addresses three questions: how well does Australia's wine industry performance since the late 1980s compare with previously and with the recent performance of its competitors abroad; what are the prospects ahead for Australian producers, given that global wine consumption per capita has not been growing yet premium wine production is expanding in many countries; and what can be done to improve those prospects? In absolute terms, and relative to other Australian industries, the wine industry has done extremely well since the late 1980s in terms of export-led growth. It is now the world's second largest exporter of wine after the European Union. Relative to other New World wine export suppliers, however, Australia's trade performance is not outstanding. Exports from the United States and several other Southern Hemisphere producers also have grown rapidly in quantity and in quality, albeit from smaller bases. Given that competition from other New World suppliers, and the quality upgrading of several large wine regions in Europe, the continued prosperity of the Australian industry depends on it meeting numerous challenges. The way it is positioning itself to do that may well provide an example to other industries of how to sustain export-led growth.

description: In search-based software engineering we often use popular heuristics with default configurations, which typically lead to suboptimal results, or we perform experiments to identify configurations on a trial-and-error basis, which may lead to better results for a specific problem. To obtain better results while avoiding trial-and-error experiments, a fitness landscape analysis is helpful in understanding the search problem, and making an informed decision about the heuristics. In this paper, we investigate the search problem of test suite generation for mobile applications (apps) using SAPIENZ whose heuristic is a default NSGA-II. We analyze the fitness landscape of SAPIENZ with respect to genotypic diversity and use the gained insights to adapt the heuristic of SAPIENZ. These adaptations result in SAPIENZ^div that aims for preserving the diversity of test suites during the search. To evaluate SAPIENZ^div, we perform a head-to-head comparison with SAPIENZ on 76 open-source apps.

So hat in den letzten Jahren die Video-Plattform TikTok ihre Erfolgsgeschichte geschrieben. Dabei halten sich hartnäckig Vorurteile gegenüber Nutzer*innen der Plattform. Eines davon ist die Kategorisierung als (Kinder- und )Jugendmedium. Da im bisherigen wissenschaftlichen Diskurs die Altersfrage kaum bis wenig Beachtung fand, fängt diese Arbeit mit einer qualitativen Befragung an, dieses Defizit aufzuarbeiten. Mit dem theoretischen Ansatz aus der Verbindung des Uses-and-Gratifications-Approachs und Bourdieus Sozialtheorie wird eine qualitative Untersuchung durchgeführt, welche die TikTok nutzenden Millennials in den Fokus nimmt. Anhand von vier Leitfadeninterviews mit, zwischen Ende 20 und Ende 30 Jahre alten, TikTok-Nutzerinnen werden Nutzungsmuster, Motive und Lebensumstände identifiziert und in Zusammenhang gesetzt.

description: The internal velocity fields of planetary nebulae are studied with a resolution of 5 km s$^{-1}$. We analyze deep echelle spectra from three nebulae in the Bulge, the Sagittarius Dwarf and the SMC. No effects of metallicity is seen, except possibly a slower onset of the fast wind from the central star. Robust evidence is found for the existence of a high-velocity shock at the inner edges of the nebulae. Such a shock is predicted in hydrodynamical models but had not previously been observed. The shock gas is accelerated by the fast wind from the central star. A similar shock at the outer edges traces the expansion of the ionized shell into the ambient AGB wind. Evidence for localized regions of high velocity is also found from lines of intermediate excitation, for two of nebulae. We explore several possible interpretations: (1) an embedded shock at intermediate radii, as predicted by hydrodynamic models at the position of the outer edge of the swept-up inner shell; (2) deviations form spherical symmetry, where in some directions the intermediate-excitation lines extend into the region of the outer shock; (3) An intermediate swept-up shell, as seen in some Galactic planetary nebulae. The remaining nebula, with a [WC] star, shows strong turbulence. This may trace a superposition of many embedded shock-lets. We suggest a relation to the time-variable [WC] wind, giving a planetary nebula subjected to a multitude of sound waves.

description: The hard tick Ixodes ricinus is an obligate hematophagous arthropod and the main vector for several zoonotic diseases. The life cycle of this three-host tick species was completed for the first time in vitro by feeding all consecutive life stages using an artificial tick feeding system (ATFS) on heparinized bovine blood supplemented with glucose, adenosine triphosphate, and gentamicin. Relevant physiological parameters were compared to ticks fed on cattle (in vivo). All in vitro feedings lasted significantly longer and the mean engorgement weight of F0 adults and F1 larvae and nymphs was significantly lower compared to ticks fed in vivo. The proportions of engorged ticks were significantly lower for in vitro fed adults and nymphs as well, but higher for in vitro fed larvae. F1-females fed on blood supplemented with vitamin B had a higher detachment proportion and engorgement weight compared to F1-females fed on blood without vitamin B, suggesting that vitamin B supplementation is essential in the artificial feeding of I. ricinus ticks previously exposed to gentamicin.

description: According to Newton's law of gravitation the force between two particles depends upon their inertial, as well as their active and passive gravitational masses. For ordinary matter all three of these are equal and positive. We consider here the more general case where these quantities are equal in magnitude for a given particle but can differ in sign. The resulting set of possible interactions allows each particle type to be assigned to one of precisely four different classes, and the results of N-body simulations show that the corresponding dynamics can give rise to a fairly rich spectrum of possible outcomes, some of which are familiar from nature at various scales. Total energy and momentum are conserved by all of these interactions if the definitions of momentum and kinetic and potential energy are suitably generalised.

Towards a Theory of Flavor from Orbifold GUTs

description: We show that the recently constructed 5-dimensional supersymmetric $S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2')$ orbifold GUT models allow an appealing explanation of the observed hierarchical structure of the quark and lepton masses and mixing angles. Flavor hierarchies arise from the geometrical suppression of some couplings when fields propagate in different numbers of dimensions, or on different fixed branes. Restrictions arising from locality in the extra dimension allow interesting texture zeroes to be easily generated. In addition the detailed nature of the SU(5)-breaking orbifold projections lead to simple theories where $b-τ$ unification is maintained but similar disfavored SU(5) relations for the lighter generations are naturally avoided. We find that simple 5d models based on $S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2')$ are strikingly successful in explaining many features of the masses and mixing angles of the 2nd and 3rd generation. Successful three generation models of flavor including neutrinos are constructed by generalizing the $S^1/(Z_2\times Z'_2)$ model to six dimensions. Large angle neutrino mixing is elegantly accommodated. Novel features of these models include a simple $m_u=0$ configuration leading to a solution of the strong CP problem.

description: Bartonellae are facultative intracellular alpha-proteobacteria often transmitted by arthropods. Ixodes ricinus is the most important vector for arthropod-borne pathogens in Europe. However, its vector competence for Bartonella spp. is still unclear. This study aimed to experimentally compare its vector competence for three Bartonella species: B. henselae, B. grahamii, and B. schoenbuchensis. A total of 1333 ticks (1021 nymphs and 312 adults) were separated into four groups, one for each pathogen and a negative control group. Ticks were fed artificially with bovine blood spiked with the respective Bartonella species. DNA was extracted from selected ticks to verify Bartonella-infection by PCR. DNA of Bartonella spp. was detected in 34% of nymphs and females after feeding. The best engorgement results were obtained by ticks fed with B. henselae-spiked blood (65.3%) and B. schoenbuchensis (61.6%). Significantly more nymphs fed on infected blood (37.3%) molted into adults compared to the control group (11.4%). Bartonella DNA was found in 22% of eggs laid by previously infected females and in 8.6% of adults molted from infected nymphs. The transovarial and transstadial transmission of bartonellae suggest that I. ricinus could be a potential vector for three bacteria.
title: HE in FE mature students' experiences of labour, learning and lockdowns
title: A feminist narrative inquiry
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Welsh, Sally
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Numbers of mature students are steadily declining across England’s HE
 sector. A significant proportion of mature undergraduates study at further
 education colleges (HE in FE), the context of this study. This inquiry
 builds on research which explores the effect of paid work or unpaid care
 work on mature students’ learning but offers a new perspective by
 considering the interaction of both forms of labour on learning in the
 home during COVID-19 lockdowns. The study broadens theoretical
 perspectives on this group by using Gouthro’s critical feminist theory of
 the homeplace. The research makes an original contribution by arguing that
 the key lenses through which we understand mature students’ experiences of
 learning at home are labour and relationships. The thesis extends
 Gouthro’s framework with two new important concepts: homeplace security
 and collective homeplaces. The inquiry also addresses a knowledge gap by
 examining the narrated lives of working men and women in differing family
 units. Qualitative data were investigated from online life history
 interviews with 15 HE in FE mature students and a research diary. A
 multi-layered, feminist framework, The Listening Guide, was used to
 analyse the transcripts and create I-poems. Findings indicate that the
 gendering of care work and the digital colonisation of the homeplace by
 paid work affected the students’ autonomy as learners. Reclaiming the home
 as a private sphere enabled them to resist some pressures and persist with
 study. Individual further education college staff played a major role in
 supporting students; however, the thesis recommends that colleges
 recognise unpaid work as a legitimate contributor to HE learning. To
 enhance social justice and gender equity, a reimagination of work-based
 learning which develops students’ capacity to critique structural
 inequality at work is needed. The study recommends that colleges work on
 new narratives for and about mature students which counter deficit
 perspectives.

description: We consider the cosmological evolution of a bulk scalar field and ordinary matter living on the brane world in the light of the constraints imposed by the matter dominated cosmological evolution and a small cosmological constant now. We rule out models with a self-tuned minimum of the four dimensional potential as they would lead to rapid oscillations of the Hubble parameter now. A more natural framework is provided by supergravity in singular spaces where the brane coupling and the bulk potential are related by supersymmetry leading to a four dimensional run-away potential. For late times we obtain an accelerating universe due to the breaking of supersymmetry on the brane with an acceleration parameter of q_0=-4/7 and associated equation of state omega=-5/7.
