description: Employing the Pauli matrices, we have constructed a set of operators, which can be used to distinguish six inequivalent classes of entanglement under SLOCC (stochastic local operation and classical communication) for three-qubit pure states. These operators have very simple structure and can be obtained from the Mermin's operator with suitable choice of directions. Moreover these operators may be implemented in an experiment to distinguish the types of entanglement present in a state. We show that the measurement of only one operator is sufficient to distinguish GHZ class from rest of the classes. It is also shown that it is possible to detect and classify other classes by performing a small number of measurements. We also show how to construct such observables in any basis. We also consider a few mixed states to investigate the usefulness of our operators. Furthermore, we consider the teleportation scheme of Lee et al. (Phys. Rev. A 72, 024302 (2005)) and show that the partial tangles and hence teleportation fidelity can be measured. We have also shown that these partial tangles can also be used to classify genuinely entangled state, biseparable state and separable state.

Fully Coupled Simulation of Cosmic Reionization. III. Stochastic Early Reionization by the Smallest Galaxies

description: Previously we identified a new class of early galaxy that we estimate contributes up to 30\% of the ionizing photons responsible for reionization. These are low mass halos in the range $M_h =10^{6.5}-10^{8} M_{\odot}$ that have been chemically enriched by supernova ejecta from prior Pop III star formation. Despite their low star formation rates, these Metal Cooling halos (MCs) are significant sources of ionizing radiation, especially at the onset of reionization, due to their high number density and ionizing escape fractions. Here we present a fully-coupled radiation hydrodynamic simulation of reionization that includes these MCs as well the more massive hydrogen atomic line cooling halos. Our method is novel: we perform halo finding inline with the radiation hydrodynamical simulation, and assign escaping ionizing fluxes to halos using a probability distribution function (PDF) measured from the galaxy-resolving Renaissance Simulations. The PDF captures the mass dependence of the ionizing escape fraction as well as the probability that a halo is actively forming stars. With MCs, reionization starts earlier than if only halos of $10^8 M_{\odot}$ and above are included, however the redshift when reionization completes is only marginally affected as this is driven by more massive galaxies. Because star formation is intermittent in MCs, the earliest phase of reionization exhibits a stochastic nature, with small H II regions forming and recombining. Only later, once halos of mass $\sim 10^9 M_{\odot}$ and above begin to dominate the ionizing emissivity, does reionization proceed smoothly in the usual manner deduced from previous studies. This occurs at $z\approx 10$ in our simulation.

Graph-Variate Signal Analysis

description: Incorporating graphs in the analysis of multivariate signals is becoming a standard way to understand the interdependency of activity recorded at different sites. The new research frontier in this direction includes the important problem of how to assess dynamic changes of signal activity. We address this problem in a novel way by defining the graph-variate signal alongside methods for its analysis. Essentially, graph-variate signal analysis leverages graphs of reliable connectivity information to filter instantaneous bivariate functions of the multivariate signal. This opens up a new and robust approach to analyse joint signal and network dynamics at sample resolution. Furthermore, our method can be formulated as instantaneous networks on which standard network analysis can be implemented. When graph connectivity is estimated from the multivariate signal itself, the appropriate consideration of instantaneous graph signal functions allows for a novel dynamic connectivity measure-- graphvariate dynamic (GVD) connectivity-- which is robust to spurious short-term dependencies. Particularly, we present appropriate functions for three pertinent connectivity metrics-- correlation, coherence and the phase-lag index. We show that our approach can determine signals with a single correlated couple against wholly uncorrelated data of up to 128 nodes in signal size (1 out of 8128 weighted edges). GVD connectivity is also shown to be more robust than i) other GSP approaches at detecting a randomly traveling spheroid on a 3D grid and ii) standard dynamic connectivity in determining differences in EEG restingstate and task-related activity. We also demonstrate its use in revealing hidden depth correlations from geophysical gamma ray data. We expect that the methods and framework presented will provide new approaches to data analysis in a variety of applied settings.
title: Overgeneral autobiographical memory and executive functioning in adolescent depression
Creators: name: Fisk, Jennifer Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Depression often emerges in adolescence; however, current psychological therapies for adolescents with depression are modest at best. A better understanding of mechanisms that cause and maintain depression could lead to significant improvements in the effectiveness of treatment. A core cognitive process in depression is Overgeneral Memory (OGM). OGM appears to play a role in maintaining depression, increasing the risk of relapse, and may also be implicated in aetiology. The CaR-FA-X model proposes three mechanisms that may cause OGM (rumination, functional avoidance and reduced executive control). There is some empirical support for each component, but no study has explored all three mechanisms in adolescent depression. The aim of this thesis was to assess OGM and the CaR-FA-X mechanisms in adolescent depression and to investigate potential ways to enhance working memory. Paper 1 investigated OGM and the components of the CaR-FA-X model in adolescents with elevated depression symptoms and compared findings to youth with low depression symptoms. Adolescents with elevated depression retrieved fewer specific memories, ruminated more, and had poorer working memory and verbal fluency. Post hoc analysis also revealed that OGM was associated with higher levels of rumination and poorer working memory and verbal fluency. Paper 2 recruited adolescents with a diagnosis of depression and those with an anxiety disorder and compared them to a matched non-clinical control group. OGM and working memory deficits were specific to the depression group. Anxious and depressed participants had impaired inhibition and rumination compared to the non-clinical controls. OGM was associated with increased rumination and reduced working memory and inhibition performance. These findings suggest that working memory is a potential target for prevention and treatment interventions for depression. Paper 3 systematically reviewed meta-analyses of the effectiveness of working memory training. This demonstrated that working memory training has limited effects and effects do not generalise to ‘real life’ tasks. There is emerging evidence that dietary flavonoids may enhance executive control and mood. Therefore paper 4 reports a double-blind randomised controlled trial comparing effects of a chronic flavonoid supplementation and a placebo on mood and executive functioning in young people. Following the flavonoid intervention, depression symptoms, but not cognition, improved. Taken together, this body of work provides valuable insight into depression-specific working memory deficits in adolescents, which has important implications for therapeutic and school environments.

description: A generic, non-eccentric binary black hole (BBH) system emits gravitational waves (GWs) that are completely described by 7 intrinsic parameters: the black hole spin vectors and the ratio of their masses. Simulating a BBH coalescence by solving Einstein's equations numerically is computationally expensive, requiring days to months of computing resources for a single set of parameter values. Since theoretical predictions of the GWs are often needed for many different source parameters, a fast and accurate model is essential. We present the first surrogate model for GWs from the coalescence of BBHs including all $7$ dimensions of the intrinsic non-eccentric parameter space. The surrogate model, which we call NRSur7dq2, is built from the results of $744$ numerical relativity simulations. NRSur7dq2 covers spin magnitudes up to $0.8$ and mass ratios up to $2$, includes all $\ell \leq 4$ modes, begins about $20$ orbits before merger, and can be evaluated in $\sim~50\,\mathrm{ms}$. We find the largest NRSur7dq2 errors to be comparable to the largest errors in the numerical relativity simulations, and more than an order of magnitude smaller than the errors of other waveform models. Our model, and more broadly the methods developed here, will enable studies that would otherwise require millions of numerical relativity waveforms, such as parameter inference and tests of general relativity with GW observations.

description: Twisted commutative algebras (tca's) have played an important role in the nascent field of representation stability. Let A_d be the complex tca freely generated by d indeterminates of degree 1. In a previous paper, we determined the structure of the category of A_1-modules (which is equivalent to the category of FI-modules). In this paper, we establish analogous results for the category of A_d-modules, for any d. Modules over A_d are closely related to the structures used by the authors in previous works studying syzygies of Segre and Veronese embeddings, and we hope the results of this paper will eventually lead to improvements on those works. Our results also have implications in asymptotic commutative algebra.

Development of the Boot and Shoe Industry in Leicester during the Nineteenth Century
Creators: name: Holmes, David
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 83, 175-218
description: The development of the boot and shoe industry in Leicester during the nineteenth century radically changed its commercial prosperity. This paper, the first of two, considers the factors that led to the development of shoemaking from a purely domestic activity to a fully mechanised industry by the end of the century. Individuals and firms were so successful that Leicester became the largest shoe manufacturing centre in the country. The stages of evolution from craft trade to mechanised industry are clearly seen as the industry developed. Ancillary industries producing materials, machinery etc. grew up round the manufacturers. Most of this paper deals with firms in Leicester town as space permits relatively little discussion on the role of other production centres in the county. The second paper will deal with the growth of distribution. As industrialisation developed and people migrated from the countryside to fast-growing towns and cities, new methods of retailing and distribution evolved to meet changing market requirements. Leicester firms were first to appreciate the changing needs and first to implement new systems. The growth in Leicester's prosperity largely resulted from the concentration of production and distribution facilities in the town.

description: This is the second of two papers reviewing development of the boot and shoe industry. Growth of distribution is set within the context of social and economic changes that were brought about by rapid industrialisation. Leicester firms played a key role in developing new methods of distribution, notably the rise of multiple retail companies. The combination of dynamic manufacturing and distribution firms was instrumental in improving the town's fortunes during the second half of the nineteenth century.
A Family Company: Briggs Shoes 1849-2009

description: Many Leicester people will remember the Briggs Shoes shop that was situated on Granby Street (Fig. 1) for many years until it closed in 2009, the final decade under new ownership. Few will know that Briggs had opened a shop on the street as early as 1880. This story describes the challenges and achievements of a business that remained under the control of the same family for 150 years. It started in a very small way and gradually developed until it became a well-known local business that played an important part in the development of the Leicester shoe industry. As is often the case with business records, there are gaps in the information available. The early ledgers, starting from 1863, are very basic and in some cases have been difficult to interpret.

description: The National Ice Age Network (NIAN), an Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) funded initiative, aims to better understand the Ice Age in England through the recording and recovery of Pleistocene environmental and archaeological remains from aggregates quarries. To accomplish this, in part, NIAN have developed a regional Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Pleistocene theme for the Midlands by which existing and new Pleistocene/Palaeolithic data is included and validated against Quaternary geological data such as the British Geological Survey (BGS) maps. Prior to the inclusion of existing data on the GIS plot, however, the data are critically assessed so as to produce a high quality dataset. This paper focuses on the methods used by NIAN to assess the Pleistocene data sources for Leicestershire; the Waite Collection, Historic Environment Record and the New Walk Museum fossil mammal records.

We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_θ$ to a product of simpler moduli spaces via a finite and birational map. Furthermore, this morphism is an isomorphism when the irreducible component is normal. As an example application, we show that the irreducible components of all moduli spaces associated to tame (or even Schur-tame) algebras are rational varieties.

description: A GREAT French historian has stated a view of local and economic history which all engaged in such studies should take to heart. 'Local history', he says, 'can be nothing more than the diversion of the dilettante, material for simple curiosity, if it brings nothing new to general history, by which I mean the interpretation of political and social movement. The pursuit of economic history, if it does not aim at social conclusions, if it does not enlarge or deepen the usual explanations, is equally vain'. When we study, therefore, with as meticulous attention to detail as we can achieve, the social and economic movement in one manor in an English county over a short period of time, we only do so in the hope that, on the basis of this necessary detail, a wider understanding may be reached of movements only so far imperfectly explained.
On slowly rotating axisymmetric solutions of the Einstein-Euler equations

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In recent works we have constructed axisymmetric solutions to the Euler-Poisson equations which give mathematical models of slowly uniformly rotating gaseous stars. We try to extend this result to the study of solutions of the Einstein-Euler equations in the framework of the general theory of relativity. Although many interesting studies have been done about axisymmetric metric in the general theory of relativity, they are restricted to the region of the vacuum. Mathematically rigorous existence theorem of the axisymmetric interior solutions of the stationary metric corresponding to the energy-momentum tensor of the perfect fluid with non-zero pressure may be not yet established until now except only one found in the pioneering work by U. Heilig done in 1993. In this article, along a different approach to that of Heilig's work, axisymmetric stationary solutions of the Einstein-Euler equations are constructed near those of the Euler-Poisson equations when the speed of light is sufficiently large in the considered system of units, or, when the gravitational field is sufficiently weak.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 90, 141-156
description: The sculpted shaft at Rothley has long been regarded as key evidence for the importance of this place in the early medieval period. Because of this, it has been discussed primarily in relation to its site, rather than as a cultural object in its own right. This article offers an entirely new, art-historical analysis of the imagery on the Rothley shaft, through comparison with early medieval metalwork. Not only does this strengthen the argument for a mid-ninth century, pre-Viking date for the shaft, but it also deeply enriches our understanding of the audience that the monument served. The findings have important implications for Rothley as a site and, therefore, illustrate how visual culture can be used to contextualise places.

description: Understanding sequential data like natural language sentences and learning to model it with generative models are fundamental research problems in artificial intelligence. Solving them helps to create machines that are imaginative and which can perform human-like reasoning and robust decision making. Advanced sequence models will have a significant impact on key areas including drug discovery, autonomous vehicles, and robotics. This thesis advances research in sequence models in two ways: by introducing controlling mechanisms into generative models, and by learning to efficiently generate attacks on natural language models.

Recent royal commissions and inquiries have highlighted the importance of considering the information needs of everyone related to records – not just bureaucrats. Records have a big impact on people’s lives. Imagine living without your birth certificate, medical history, or passport. Records also provide a degree of transparency and accountability. In this thesis I explore how social theory concerned with issues of power and agency could inform appraisal decisions so everyone’s needs are considered.

description: We present in detail an Effective Field Theory (EFT) formulation for the essential case of spinning objects as the components of inspiralling compact binaries. We review its implementation, carried out in a series of works in recent years, which leveled the high post-Newtonian (PN) accuracy in the spinning sector to that, recently attained in the non-spinning sector. We note a public package, "EFTofPNG", that we recently created for high precision computation in the EFT of PN Gravity, which covers all sectors, and includes an observables pipeline.

The West Range of Ulverscroft Priory and its Roof
Creators: name: J Baker, N
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 56, 10-17
description: Ulverscroft Priory lies 12km (8 miles) north-west of Leicester, on a gravel knoll beside the junction of two streams flowing through marshy ground in the valley bottom. The priory was a minor Augustinian house, founded before 1153, with a complement of three priests in 1220 rising to eight by 1438. Ulverscroft had an uneventful history, and was finally dissolved in 1539. From then on, those buildings that could not be maintained or adapted to suit the site's new role as a farm were demolished, this pattern continuing until the 1930s, when William Keay, a local architect, began recording, excavating and restoring, principally within the church. The monastic complex is now scheduled as an Ancient Monument.

description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.

description: Deep learning has become a powerful and popular tool for a variety of machine learning tasks. However, it is challenging to understand the mechanism of deep learning from a theoretical perspective. In this work, we propose a random active path model to study collective properties of deep neural networks with binary synapses, under the removal perturbation of connections between layers. In the model, the path from input to output is randomly activated, and the corresponding input unit constrains the weights along the path into the form of a $p$-weight interaction glass model. A critical value of the perturbation is observed to separate a spin glass regime from a paramagnetic regime, with the transition being of the first order. The paramagnetic phase is conjectured to have a poor generalization performance.

Effects of Neutron-Proton Short-Range Correlation on the Equation of State of Dense Neutron-Rich Nucleonic Matter

description: The strongly isospin-dependent tensor force leads to short-range correlations (SRC) between neutron-proton (deuteron-like) pairs much stronger than those between proton-proton and neutron-neutron pairs. As a result of the short-range correlations, the single-nucleon momentum distribution develops a high-momentum tail above the Fermi surface. Because of the strongly isospin-dependent short-range correlations, in neutron-rich matter a higher fraction of protons will be depleted from its Fermi sea and populate above the Fermi surface compared to neutrons. This isospin-dependent nucleon momentum distribution may have effects on: (1) nucleon spectroscopic factors of rare isotopes, (2) the equation of state especially the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy, (3) the coexistence of a proton-skin in momentum space and a neutron-skin in coordinate space (i.e., protons move much faster than neutrons near the surface of heavy nuclei). In this talk, we discuss these features and their possible experimental manifestations. As an example, SRC effects on the nuclear symmetry energy are discussed in detail using a modified Gogny-Hartree-Fock (GHF) energy density functional (EDF) encapsulating the SRC-induced high momentum tail (HMT) in the single-nucleon momentum distribution.
title: Visual imagery perspective during autobiographical memory recall: cultural considerations
Creators: name: Wittet, Analisa
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: When recalling autobiographical memories (AMs) persons often engage in visual imagery using two types of visual imagery perspectives (VIPs); Field (first-person perspective) and Observer (third-person perspective). The type of VIP adopted can impact the nature and content of recalled memories as well as play an important role in emotion regulation, emotional wellbeing, and the development of one’s sense of self. The impact of culture on VIP use has received little attention but preliminary findings comparing Asian and North American persons have suggested that persons from collectivistic cultures more often use an Observer perspective during AM recall than persons from individualistic cultures. Self-construal (i.e., being independently or interdependently oriented) has been proposed to mediate the relationship between culture (in terms of nationality) and VIP use. The studies of this thesis explore the interrelationships between nationality, self-construal, and VIP use during AM recall. They are the first to explore the role of culture in VIP use using Caribbean and United Kingdom samples. They are also the first to measure self-construal at the individual level as opposed to assuming culture based on nationality alone. Measuring self-construal also allowed for its mediating role in the relationship between culture and VIP use to be tested. Taken together, the results did not consistently reveal the culturally expected patterns of VIP use or self-construal and they did not provide support for the mediating role of self-construal in the relationship between nationality and VIP use. These findings not only challenge preliminary research but they highlight the difficulties associated with measuring complex concepts such as self-construal. The findings of this research have important implications for the field of AM and cross-cultural psychology at large.

Leveraging accounting practices to embed greenhouse gas emissions in decision making: A Blackpool Unitary Authority case study
Creators: name: Prosser, Millie
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: With current global policies putting us on track for 2.9 C of warming by 2100, urgent and ambitious action is required to operationalise the Paris agreement and keep us ‘well below 2C’. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) state that to close this mitigation gap sub-national entities must be leveraged, calling for sustainability reporting to be mandated and enforced. This mitigation gap is unlikely to be closed without robust sub-national targets, baselines, monitoring, and reporting, including scope 3 consumption-based emissions. At present, target ambiguity is widespread and is undermining robust emissions management. In the UK, local authorities are struggling to make sense of disparate guidance and respond to grass roots and top-down pressure to decarbonise. A strongly devolved approach to local authority net zero support has emerged which has placed English authorities at a disadvantage as 52% reductions in spending power, resulting in severe under resourcing, is exacerbated by the lack of statutory or clear guidance articulating the nature of local authorities’ role in the net zero transition. By working closely with Blackpool Unitary Authority as a case study partner this research considers and interprets the wealth of authority applicable guidance and develops an iterative, applied approach to indirect emissions management using spend-data. A proof of concept, informed by discussions with key staff members and access to working and management practices, is presented. It simply demonstrates how Blackpool’s spend data can be used to estimate and begin to manage indirect emissions in-house to (i) embed GHG emissions more fully organisationally (ii) build carbon literacy (iii) spread emissions accounting burdens across the organisation by utilising existing performance and accountancy practices. This is supplemented with a three-stage iterative approach to refining data quality, calculation methods and emissions governance that is grounded in public and private sector best practice net zero strategy.
