description: On peut employer le verre avec succès dans un mur extérieur. Le joint entre la vitre et le châssis est toutefois vulnérable à cause des nombreux rôles qui lui imcombent. Les difficultés qui surgissent le plus souvent sont le bris du verre et l'infiltration de la pluie ou de l'air. Le maî tre d'oeuvre doit, lors de la conception du vitrage, posséder une bonne compréhension des facteurs qui contribuent à ces défaillances et une connaissance suffisante des propriétés des matériaux qui seront utilisés. Il lui est également essentiel de savoir quelles sont les qualités requises de chaque élément du joint. Grâce à une conception soignée, il sera en mesure de minimiser les contraintes agissant sur les éléments constituant le joint.

Metrics in the Space of High Order Networks

Subjects: subject: Social and Information Networks (cs.SI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents methods to compare high order networks, defined as weighted complete hypergraphs collecting relationship functions between elements of tuples. They can be considered as generalizations of conventional networks where only relationship functions between pairs are defined. Important properties between relationships of tuples of different lengths are established, particularly when relationships encode dissimilarities or proximities between nodes. Two families of distances are then introduced in the space of high order networks. The distances measure differences between networks. We prove that they are valid metrics in the spaces of high order dissimilarity and proximity networks modulo permutation isomorphisms. Practical implications are explored by comparing the coauthorship networks of two popular signal processing researchers. The metrics succeed in identifying their respective collaboration patterns.

description: We propose iterative detection and decoding (IDD) algorithms with Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems operating in block-fading and fast Rayleigh fading channels. Soft-input soft-output minimum mean-square error receivers with successive interference cancellation are considered. In particular, we devise a novel strategy to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of IDD schemes, which takes into account the soft \textit{a posteriori} output of the decoder in a block-fading channel when Root-Check LDPC codes are used. A MIMO IDD receiver with soft information processing that exploits the code structure and the behavior of the log likelihood ratios is also developed. Moreover, we present a scheduling algorithm for decoding LDPC codes in block-fading channels. Simulations show that the proposed techniques result in significant gains in terms of BER for both block-fading and fast-fading channels.

description: Variation in body fat distribution contributes to the metabolic sequelae of obesity. The genetic determinants of body fat distribution are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to gain new insights into the underlying genetics of body fat distribution by conducting sample-size weighted fixed-effects genome-wide association meta-analyses in up to 9,594 women and 8,738 men for six ectopic fat traits in European, African, Hispanic, and Chinese ancestry populations, with and without sex stratification. In total, 7 new loci were identified in association with ectopic fat traits (ATXN1, UBE2E2, EBF1, RREB1, GSDMB, GRAMD3 and ENSA; P<5×10−8; FDR<1%). Functional analysis of these genes revealed that loss of function of both ATXN1 and UBE2E2 in primary mouse adipose progenitor cells impaired adipocyte differentiation, suggesting a physiological role for ATXN1 and UBE2E2 in adipogenesis. Future studies are necessary to further explore the mechanisms by which these genes impact adipocyte biology and how their perturbations contribute to systemic metabolic disease.
title: UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS OF PRICING STRATEGY AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: AN ACTION RESEARCH ON A REGIONAL ICT COMPANY IN ASIA
Creators: name: Lee, Wen Jun Demain
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: This thesis is an account of how I have generated my theory of practice as a pricing professional in an ICT company in Asia. My intent in undertaking my action research originates from my company intention to move away from the traditional cost-plus pricing strategy to a value-based pricing strategy in its global data connectivity services business to differentiate ourselves from cost-driven rivals. My inquiry focuses on exploring my understanding of how I have facilitated my company in implementing value-based pricing (VBP) strategy in channel partner pricing program and pricing empowerment framework, and how the integration of VBP in these action research projects help enhance my company’s competitive advantage. Firstly, the cases used in the channel partner pricing program showed that my company tried to understand the channel partners’ desired value perception and improve our bargaining position as a means to improve value capture. Secondly, the pricing empowerment project showed the interaction within internal stakeholders and how I influence the change in mentality and create a shift from a one-size-fits all pricing empowerment to one that focuses on strategic account portfolio management. In doing so, my action research study contributes to the literature on customer value, organisational capabilities and business model in previously unexplored areas. Moreover, my action research project also guides business practitioners who are willing to develop VBP as part of their business model.

Recreational Impact assessment
Nuweberg State forest

description: This is a scanned copy of a recreational impact assessment, Nuweberg State forest, site 3419AA/10. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: We investigate the resummation effects with a jet veto, for WZ and ZZ productions at the LHC in soft-collinear effective theory. We present the invariant mass distributions and the total cross section with different jet veto and jet radius for these process at Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Logarithmic level. Our results show that the jet-veto resummation can increase the jet-veto cross section and decrease the scale uncertainties, especially in the large center-of-mass energy. We find that for pt_veto>30 GeV and R=0.4, the resummation results can increase POWHEG+PYTHIA predictions by about 19% for WZ production and 18% for ZZ production, respectively. Our results agree with the CMS data for WZ productions within 2$σ$ C.L. at 8 TeV, which can explain the 2$σ$ discrepancy between the CMS experimental results and theoretical predictions based on NLO calculation with parton showers.

Subjects: subject: Religious history, religious education.

description: This thesis focuses quite specifically on the establishment of the Free Church College in Glasgow, where men were to be trained for the ministry of this church. In 1843, many of the ablest clergy and teachers decided to leave the Established Church of Scotland, and become Free Church members and ministers. To a certain degree, the mood was one of self-righteousness and triumphalism. Wherever the Established Church had got it wrong, the Free Church was going to get it right. One area in which they were determined to challenge their other brethren was in the provision of theological education. Inspired by Thomas Chalmers, there was innovation and development. But this was not without a struggle. This thesis describes the struggle that was specific to Glasgow, and yet, which was also part of a more national struggle, as the Free Church, after the Disruption tried to find its place, and to establish its identity with the Scottish people, alongside the Established Church. A close examination of the rise of the Glasgow College also shows one that there were social, economic, and demographic similarities that embraced the type of person who affiliated himself/herself with the Free Church. It is for this reason that there is much biographical material in this thesis. Who were these people who were founder members of the Free Church? Why did they give so generously to their cause? How were they able to be so generous; from where did they get their wealth? For how long was it attainable and maintainable?

title: The Impact of Leadership Style on Organizational Performance in Food Business Environments
Creators: name: Basit, Muhammad
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: The impact of leadership style on organizational performance has been studied extensively in general; however, the literature has a limited number of studies concerning the impact of leadership style on organizational performance concerning food business environments. On further narrowing the topic of concern, we see that the research conducted in relation to the impact of shared leadership style on organizational performance in food business environments is even more limited. It is also challenging to find a conclusive link between any specific leadership style in various sub-attributes of organizational performance, such as employee retention and food safety culture in the food business operations domain. This research explores the link between leadership style and performance to offer insight into the way in which leadership style creates the distinction between making the food organization more efficient and enhancing organizational performance in food organizations. This action research (AR) project was planned to resolve the organizational performance issues associated with ABC Foods, Canada using multi-qualitative methods. Key data were sourced through the learning set and internal interview at ABC Foods, complemented by external interviews of food industry leaders, and seasoned food professionals. The impact on organizational performance was studied through the analysis of two core elements: employee retention and food safety culture. The interview data were tabulated, trended, and processed through coding and constant comparison in order to establish the interrelationships. The information obtained through interviews was later brought back to the learning set at ABC Foods, where the need arose. Besides being a researcher, I was head of the team at ABC Foods in this project. The findings were challenged by the knowledge available from earlier researchers, wherever applicable. The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between shared leadership style and organization performance. The results also reveal a positive relationship between shared leadership, employee retention, shared leadership, and food safety culture.

title: Saying the unsayable: Language and the tension of the world in the late poetry of Robert Penn Warren
Creators: name: Van Dyke, John Carden
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: English literature.

description: This thesis explores the turn in Robert Penn Warren's later poetry toward the problematic nature of language which he discerned in the unresolvable tension between the "sayable" and the "unsayable." Warren's struggle within this tension of language is not formulated in a clearly defined philosophy or theory; rather it is conceived through his attention to poiesis, to the act of poetic creation itself. Warren conceives of language as fallen, fractured, and sometimes arbitrary, but he also envisions a power within this limitation by which language enacts and actuates those things which may not be spoken. This concern for language is shaped to a large extent by his understanding through Coleridge of the role of the imagination and is evidenced by his attention in this later poetry to the voice of the world and to the act of naming. The poet, in Warren's word, "yearns" for the moment of articulation which both acknowledges the boundaries of the sayable and is empowered by the absent presence of the unsayable. The poet's quest after the unsayable is open-ended; thus, we find a poetry which resists closure and totalization through an on-going questioning of what it means to dwell in the world. By tracing out the development of this line of thought from Warren's 1946 essay on The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, "A Poem of Pure Imagination; An Experiment in Reading," through his 1969 poem, Audubon: A Vision, and in his subsequent poetry and criticism, it is argued that Warren's increased attention to language as both the problem and the power within the act of poetic creation discloses a subtle but discernible shift out of a modernist critical paradigm in which language is the tool of the poet and toward a more postmodern conception of language as the endless play of difference. Furthermore, by reading Warren within a certain heritage of thought that runs from Coleridge through Kierkegaard and Heidegger, it is claimed that Warren's poetry both anticipates certain emphases in postmodern thought and contributes toward the possibility of theological articulation within the postmodern condition.
title: When Two Worlds Collide: Exploring and Conceptualising the Professional Identity Construction and Role Performance of Sales Engineers in B2B Selling
Creators: name: Wagstaff, James
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: In business-to-business selling organisations, managers find it difficult to hire, develop, and retain expert sellers, such as sales engineers, who possess and provide the necessary mix of technical skills, customer skills, and hands-on experience to meet increasingly ‘technicised’ buyer requirements. Gaps in understanding the sales engineering role and professional identity can cause managers to be ineffective in the planning, deployment, and administration of the practice of sales engineering in business-to-business sales organisations. This study engages 18 experienced sales engineers, from three organisations, using methods of hermeneutic phenomenology and action research to examine and improve the ways in which they construct their professional identities, develop their sales engineering practices, and perform the sales engineering role in the face of changing buyer expectations. Furthermore, this study seeks to understand how these sales engineers successfully synthesise the juxtaposed ‘worlds’ of engineering and sales that are the domains of the sales engineer’s role. This research illuminates, conceptualises, and implements actions concerning the way that sales engineering is performed in support of business-to-business selling. A by-product of this study is an examination of the ways in which sales engineering has evolved toward a ‘natural’ and practical application of service-dominant logic. This study contributes to theory and practice through the development of two conceptual frameworks. First, a non-linear recurring lifecycle that SEs traverse as they establish, develop, practise, adapt, navigate, and synthesise their roles and identities in the pursuit of becoming expert technical sellers in their professional identities and roles. Second, a practical understanding of the competencies, knowledge, skills, behaviours, and outcomes developed and practised by expert SEs in their professional roles and identities. These conceptual frameworks provide a coherent way for scholars and practitioners to understand, apply, and engage with the practice of sales engineering in business-to-business selling.

description: In the initial stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, strong magnetic fields appear due to the large velocity of the colliding charges. The evolution of these fields appears as a novel and intriguing feature in the fluid-dynamical description of heavy-ion collisions. In this work, we study analytically the one-dimensional, longitudinally boost-invariant motion of an ideal fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Interestingly, we find that, in the limit of ideal magnetohydrodynamics, i.e., for infinite conductivity, and irrespective of the strength of the initial magnetization, the decay of the fluid energy density $e$ with proper time $τ$ is the same as for the time-honored "Bjorken flow" without magnetic field. Furthermore, when the magnetic field is assumed to decay $\sim τ^{-a}$, where $a$ is an arbitrary number, two classes of analytic solutions can be found depending on whether $a$ is larger or smaller than one. In summary, the analytic solutions presented here highlight that the Bjorken flow is far more general than formerly thought. These solutions can serve both to gain insight on the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions in the presence of strong magnetic fields and as testbeds for numerical codes.

title: ‘I am part of the problem and the problem is part of me’ - A self-inquiry driven action research study on overcoming the negative effects of derailment behaviour in a higher education branch
Creators: name: Zwaanstra, Manon
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: This thesis intends to investigate whether it is possible to detect one’s own derailment potential by self-inquiry and first-person action research. Career derailment can be seen as the end result of dysfunctional and destructive leadership behaviour with a very disruptive impact. Derailing leaders exhibit typical personality flaws and managerial issues which have been studied for more than forty years (McCall & Lombardo, 1983; Bentz, 1985; Hogan, Hogan & Kaiser, 2010). Derailment can become a very costly affair with high impact on different levels within the organisation (Furnham, 2010) and therefore this thesis focused on preventive measures and problem solving in action. The hypothesis is that the researcher is derailing and has either enabled the organisational problem or has become part of the problem due to her responses. Secondary, it is investigated which measures an individual can take, by self-regulation or in collaboration with their organisation, to prevent derailment from happening. The critical literature review uncovered the complexity of leadership derailment and was complemented by investigations of themes related to the organisational context of the researcher, such as cultural, social, academic and gender constructs. The hypothesis was investigated by a qualitative and interpretative research design, applying first-person action research as the main methodology complemented by autoethnography, using diaries, journals and case studies as sources for scientific analysis and data gathering. Throughout the immersive action research cycles, during which she experimented with coaching, personality assessment and case writing, the researcher always ensured academic rigour by adopting a distant meta-analytic view alongside a first-person narrative for self-inquiry. Limitations of the study were the risk of confirmation bias, accessibility to information and the boundaries found in the organisation such as lack of sponsorship and leadership support. The outcome of the study based on first-person action research is a deeper understanding into the complexity of self-diagnosis, self-regulation and self-initiated behavioural change. The research findings have led to an application of recommended activities by the development of a toolkit for business education and education management.
Radiative corrections of $O(α)$ to $B^- \rightarrow V^0 \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ decays

description: The $O(α)$ electromagnetic radiative corrections to the $B^- \rightarrow V^0 \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ ($V$ is a vector meson and $\ell$ a charged lepton) decay rates are evaluated using the cutoff method to regularize virtual corrections and incorporating intermediate resonance states in the real-photon amplitude to extend the region of validity of the soft-photon approximation. The electromagnetic and weak form factors of hadrons are assumed to vary smoothly over the energies of virtual and real photons under consideration. The cutoff dependence of radiative corrections upon the scale $Λ$ that separates the long- and short-distance regimes is found to be mild and is considered as an uncertainty of the calculation. Owing to partial cancellations of electromagnetic corrections evaluated over the three- and four-body regions of phase space, the photon-inclusive corrected rates are found to be dominated by the short-distance contribution. These corrections will be relevant for a precise determination of the $b$ quark mixing angles by testing isospin symmetry when measurements of semileptonic rates of charged and neutral $B$ mesons at the few percent level become available. For completeness, we also provide numerical values of radiative corrections in the three-body region of the Dalitz plot distributions of these decays.

description: This is a scanned copy of a document, including maps and diagrams, on Widdringtonia Cedarbergensis enumeration in the Cedar Preserve, Cederberg, including species counts for Protea acuminata, Metalasia muricata, Aspalathus and Elytropappus rhinocerotis. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: By meta-analyzing rare coding variants in whole-exome sequences of 4,133 schizophrenia cases and 9,274 controls, de novo mutations in 1,077 trios, and copy number variants from 6,882 cases and 11,255 controls, we show that individuals with schizophrenia carry a significant burden of rare damaging variants in 3,488 genes previously identified as having a near-complete depletion of loss-of-function variants. In schizophrenia patients who also have intellectual disability, this burden is concentrated in risk genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. After excluding known neurodevelopmental disorder risk genes, a significant rare variant burden persists in other loss-of-function intolerant genes, and while this effect is notably stronger in schizophrenia patients with intellectual disability, it is also seen in patients who do not have intellectual disability. Together, our results show that rare damaging variants contribute to the risk of schizophrenia both with and without intellectual disability, and support an overlap of genetic risk between schizophrenia and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

description: We investigate an extension of continuous online learning in recurrent neural network language models. The model keeps a separate vector representation of the current unit of text being processed and adaptively adjusts it after each prediction. The initial experiments give promising results, indicating that the method is able to increase language modelling accuracy, while also decreasing the parameters needed to store the model along with the computation required at each step.

description: : Preeclampsia, which affects approximately 5% of pregnancies, is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal death. The causes of preeclampsia remain unclear, but there is evidence for inherited susceptibility. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have not identified maternal sequence variants of genome-wide significance that replicate in independent data sets. We report the first GWAS of offspring from preeclamptic pregnancies and discovery of the first genome-wide significant susceptibility locus (rs4769613; P = 5.4 × 10(-11)) in 4,380 cases and 310,238 controls. This locus is near the FLT1 gene encoding Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1, providing biological support, as a placental isoform of this protein (sFlt-1) is implicated in the pathology of preeclampsia. The association was strongest in offspring from pregnancies in which preeclampsia developed during late gestation and offspring birth weights exceeded the tenth centile. An additional nearby variant, rs12050029, associated with preeclampsia independently of rs4769613. The newly discovered locus may enhance understanding of the pathophysiology of preeclampsia and its subtypes.
