title: PLASMA CATALYSIS FOR CHEMICAL ENERGY STORAGE FROM RENEWABLE HYDROGEN
Creators: name: Wang, Yaolin
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2026

description: Currently, the development of the “green” chemical industry using renewable hydrogen has received great attention for the goal of achieving a sustainable net-zero circular economy. The plasma-catalytic electrification process is considered a promising feasible approach to produce value-added platform chemicals and fuels in an environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral way. In this thesis, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol and ammonia synthesis were performed in packed-bed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactors via plasma-catalysis at ambient conditions. This avoids the high temperature and pressure from conventional industry processes using thermal catalysis. To further reveal the reaction mechanism of this complex system, an integrated DBD/gas cell reactor was designed for in situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) (transmission infrared mode) probing of the surface adsorbates in the plasma-catalytic chemical reactions.

description: A new approach to deuterium ion sources for deuterium-tritium neutron generators is being developed. The source is based upon the field desorption of deuterium from the surfaces of metal tips. Field desorption studies of microfabricated field emitter tip arrays have been conducted for the first time. Maximum fields of 30 V/nm have been applied to the array tip surfaces to date, although achieving fields of 20 V/nm to possibly 25 V/nm is more typical. Both the desorption of atomic deuterium ions and the gas phase field ionization of molecular deuterium has been observed at fields of roughly 20 V/nm and 20-30 V/nm, respectively, at room temperature. The desorption of common surface adsorbates, such as hydrogen, carbon, water, and carbon monoxide is observed at fields exceeding ~10 V/nm. In vacuo heating of the arrays to temperatures of the order of 800 C can be effective in removing many of the surface contaminants observed.

title: A mobile EEG investigation of the neural dynamics underpinning real-world economic decisions during product purchasing.
Creators: name: Roberts, Hannah
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Economic decisions are continuously made throughout daily life and involve subjective value (SV) assignment and subsequent selection of the option with the highest SV amongst competing alternatives. The precise temporal characteristics of early value computation are unknown, and, to date, no research has examined the neural dynamics of subjective valuation in naturalistic environments, which have different perceptual and motivational characteristics which could alter SV. The current thesis examined the spatiotemporal neural dynamics underpinning subjective valuation of products in naturalistic settings using mobile electroencephalography (EEG) and eye-tracking. Eye-movement related potentials (EMRPs) underpinning SV of products were examined in a product gallery for 2-D images, and a custom-built mock shop for real 3-D products. Stimulus onset corresponded to the first instance of the gaze touching an object. Products were viewed and rated whilst mobile electroencephalography and eye-tracking recordings were taken. Willingness to pay (WTP) values were used as a measure of SV and were elicited using a Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) auction following the mobile EEG task. ICA was used to reduce contamination of eye-movement artefacts. Source dipole modelling was used to estimate cortical generators of EMRP components. Results from three experimental chapters suggest early encoding of unique bands of SVs for 2-D and 3-D products in multiple distinct cortical clusters. Low- and high-value products were discriminated binarily in early latencies of EMRPs, with facilitated encoding of low-value items. Intermediate-value items were discriminated in later components of EMRPs, both within parietal/occipital cortex. Linear encoding of SV was observed for 3-D products. The current thesis demonstrates, using novel methodologies and mobile EEG and eye-tracking recordings in realistic settings, that early SVs assigned to 2-D and 3-D products are computed on a coarse grid, within multiple distinct components of EMRPS within parietal/occipital cortex, with facilitated binary representations of low- and high-value products and later encoding of intermediate-value products.
Aggregation According to Classical Kinetics--From Nucleation to Coarsening

description: We solve the standard Lifshitz-Slyozov (LS) model with conservation of total particles in the limit of small super-saturation. The new element is an effective initial condition that follows from the initial exhaustion of nucleation as described in a previous paper [Farjoun and Neu, Phys. Rev. E 78]. The effective initial condition is characterized by a narrow distribution of cluster-sizes, all much larger than critical. In the subsequent solution, one of the LS similarity solutions emerges as the long-time limit, as expected. But our solution tells more. In particular, there is a "growth" era prior to what is usually called "coarsening". During "growth" the clusters (all of nearly the same size much larger than critical) eventually exhaust the super-saturation (the exhaustion of nucleation in the previous era results from only a small decrease in super-saturation). This allows the critical size to catch up to the clusters, and the traditional "coarsening" begins: Subcritical clusters dissolve and fuel the growth of the remaining super-critical clusters. Our analysis tracks the evolution of cluster sizes during growth and coarsening by complimentary use of asymptotic and numerical methods. We establish characteristic times and cluster sizes associated with growth and coarsening from physical parameters and the initial super-saturation. The emerging distribution is discontinuous at the largest cluster size, and our model selects the discontinuous LS similarity solution as the long time limit. There are strong indications that the smooth similarity solution proposed in the original LS paper emerges on a, yet longer, late-coarsening time-scale.

description: We study isomorphism invariant point processes of $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose groups of symmetries are almost surely trivial. We define a 1-ended, locally finite tree factor on the points of the process, that is, a mapping of the point configuration to a graph on it that is measurable and equivariant with the point process. This answers a question of Holroyd and Peres. The tree will be used to construct a factor isomorphic to $\Z^n$. This perhaps surprising result (that any $d$ and $n$ works) solves a problem by Steve Evans. The construction, based on a connected clumping with $2^i$ vertices in each clump of the $i$'th partition, can be used to define various other factors.

The influence of sub-lethal zinc exposure on olfaction of alarm cues and associated alarm behaviours in juvenile coho salmon
Creators: name: Smith, Anna E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Urban streams are under constant assault from pollutants, including highly damaging heavy metals. Zinc is a common and nearly ubiquitous contaminant in urban streams and water bodies with a myriad of sources including mining, agriculture, commercial industry, and stormwater runoff. At high levels, zinc is known to cause physical damage and death to olfactory cells in fish, resulting in a loss of smell. This is highly concerning, as fish use their sense of smell for foraging, communication, migration, mating, and defence. This is particularly true for salmonid species like coho, that lack other methods of predator defence. While most urban streams do not contain high levels of zinc contamination, zinc is often present at lower concentrations. The influence of zinc on olfaction at low levels is not well understood and could have significant impacts on survival. In the present study, juvenile coho were exposed to environmentally relevant levels of zinc (30 - 120 µg/L for 3 hours) and were then challenged with a con-specific chemical alarm cue, which was intended to reflect a nearby predation event. Coho that were not exposed to zinc immediately reduced their activity and demonstrated classic anti-predator behaviours such as sinking, shoaling, and freezing in place. The coho exposed to any of the three levels of zinc failed to react to the alarm cue and showed little to no expected alarm behaviours. This suggests that the current acceptable limit of 33 µg/L of zinc outlined in the BC water quality guidelines is not protective for coho juveniles. The inhibition of successful olfaction and reaction to an alarm cue shows that zinc exposed fish are compromised by low level zinc contamination and fail to respond to their chemosensory environment appropriately. This could have large impacts on predator avoidance and, ultimately, survival through the freshwater phase.

description: Phylogenetic trees can be reconstructed from the matrix which contains the distances between all pairs of languages in a family. Recently, we proposed a new method which uses normalized Levenshtein distances among words with same meaning and averages on all the items of a given list. Decisions about the number of items in the input lists for language comparison have been debated since the beginning of glottochronology. The point is that words associated to some of the meanings have a rapid lexical evolution. Therefore, a large vocabulary comparison is only apparently more accurate then a smaller one since many of the words do not carry any useful information. In principle, one should find the optimal length of the input lists studying the stability of the different items. In this paper we tackle the problem with an automated methodology only based on our normalized Levenshtein distance. With this approach, the program of an automated reconstruction of languages relationships is completed.

description: Extrapolating the Standard Model to high scales using the renormalisation group, three possibilities arise, depending on the mass of the Higgs boson: if the Higgs mass is large enough the Higgs self-coupling may blow up, entailing some new non-perturbative dynamics; if the Higgs mass is small the effective potential of the Standard Model may reveal an instability; or the Standard Model may survive all the way to the Planck scale for an intermediate range of Higgs masses. This latter case does not necessarily require stability at all times, but includes the possibility of a metastable vacuum which has not yet decayed. We evaluate the relative likelihoods of these possibilities, on the basis of a global fit to the Standard Model made using the Gfitter package. This uses the information about the Higgs mass available directly from Higgs searches at LEP and now the Tevatron, and indirectly from precision electroweak data. We find that the `blow-up' scenario is disfavoured at the 99% confidence level (96% without the Tevatron exclusion), whereas the `survival' and possible `metastable' scenarios remain plausible. A future measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson could reveal the fate of the Standard Model.

description: Temperature-dependent I-V and C-V spectroscopy of single InAs nanowire field-effect transistors were utilized to directly shed light on the intrinsic electron transport properties as a function of nanowire radius. From C-V characterizations, the densities of thermally-activated fixed charges and trap states on the surface of untreated (i.e., without any surface functionalization) nanowires are investigated while enabling the accurate measurement of the gate oxide capacitance; therefore, leading to the direct assessment of the field-effect mobility for electrons. The field-effect mobility is found to monotonically decrease as the radius is reduced to sub-10 nm, with the low temperature transport data clearly highlighting the drastic impact of the surface roughness scattering on the mobility degradation for miniaturized nanowires. More generally, the approach presented here may serve as a versatile and powerful platform for in-depth characterization of nanoscale, electronic materials.

Understanding children’s object choice and play in an outdoor setting : the embedded learning and meaning of playing with sticks
Creators: name: Beattie, A. Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This study employed a phenomenographic, Mosaic, case study approach to understanding young children’s outdoor learning by analysing a select group of young children’s engagement with their chosen activities in an outdoor setting. This group was comprised of 20 Grade 1 students (5 to 7 years) at a public school in Vancouver, British Columbia. The students’ learning was investigated through a Personal Construct theoretical framework. The data collected included notes based on both video recordings made by the children and detailed researcher observations including interviews and interactions with the children. Use of sticks was observed to be the most important element in the students’ chosen outdoor activities. Thus, the students’ engagement with sticks by creating/improvising activities in an urban forest setting can be described as stick-based, physical, and tactile outdoor learning. In this way, the outdoor activities that prominently feature the use of sticks can become important to the development of children’s engagement with environmental education and science learning. Therefore, it can be concluded from the study’s outcomes that: 1) effective childhood outdoor curriculum and pedagogy should include the children’s chosen outdoor activities and emphasize physical and tactile interactions with natural items; 2) young children’s chosen outdoor activities can be considered cultural and social in nature, which may promote children’s inclusion and feelings of competence in the culture of environmental education and school science; 3) the incorporation of children’s chosen outdoor activities in childhood curriculum and pedagogy may offer an opportunity to better understand how children’s agency affects environmental education and science learning within local and natural settings.

description: In 2018, 40 percent of all water applied to irrigated cropland came from an off-farm water source. Irrigation districts, ditch companies, acequias, and other water delivery organizations use infrastructure such as canals, reservoirs, and turnouts to transport, store, and deliver off-farm water to farms and ranches. This infrastructure is a critical part of an organization’s ability to meet the water needs of irrigated agriculture. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2019 Survey of Irrigation Organizations is a nationally representative review of the water management organizations that deliver water to farms or influence on-farm groundwater use. This report leverages these survey data to provide an overview of the vital irrigation infrastructure owned and managed by water delivery organizations.
title: The Performativity of Gender in the Works of David Foster Wallace
Creators: name: Alexander, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: This thesis continues the recent work on gender in Wallace criticism by positing that his knowledge of feminist critical theory, and the monumental changes in gender politics that occur at Amherst during his time as a student, are key factors in influencing his intellectual engagement with issues of gender, and that this is evidenced in much of his works of fiction and non-fiction alike. I consider how relations between men and women are written, and the dysfunctionality and discord that exist in Wallace’s representation of those relationships, in order to demonstrate the way Wallace’s texts problematize the heterosexual matrix. Key to this is a questioning of the performativity of gender that occurs throughout Wallace’s works. Issues of masculinity and femininity, primarily concerned with Wallace’s women, on whom too little is written, also take account of those men Wallace writes who are only ever discussed in terms of masculinity. This is an approach made possible because of the anti-essentialist turn in feminism at this time. I contend that Wallace’s corpus suggests a more fluid view of gender, where masculinity and femininity are not constrained by sex, and that this problematizing of gender links with aspects of queer feminism.

description: Presented in this paper is a technique that we propose for extracting the physical parameters of a rotating stellar core collapse from the observation of the associated gravitational wave signal from the collapse and core bounce. Data from interferometric gravitational wave detectors can be used to provide information on the mass of the progenitor model, precollapse rotation and the nuclear equation of state. We use waveform libraries provided by the latest numerical simulations of rotating stellar core collapse models in general relativity, and from them create an orthogonal set of eigenvectors using principal component analysis. Bayesian inference techniques are then used to reconstruct the associated gravitational wave signal that is assumed to be detected by an interferometric detector. Posterior probability distribution functions are derived for the amplitudes of the principal component analysis eigenvectors, and the pulse arrival time. We show how the reconstructed signal and the principal component analysis eigenvector amplitude estimates may provide information on the physical parameters associated with the core collapse event.

description: We report the detection of luminous CO(3-2) line emission in the halo of the z=2.6 radio galaxy (HzRG) TXS0828+193, which has no detected counterpart at optical to mid-infrared wavelengths implying a stellar mass < few x10^9 M_sun and relatively low star-formation rates. With the IRAM PdBI we find two CO emission line components at the same position at ~80 kpc distance from the HzRG along the axis of the radio jet, with different blueshifts of few 100 km s^-1 relative to the HzRG and a total luminosity of ~2x10^10 K km s^-1 pc^2 detected at 8 sigma significance. HzRGs have significant galaxy overdensities and extended halos of metal-enriched gas often with embedded clouds or filaments of denser material, and likely trace very massive dark-matter halos. The CO emission may be associated with a gas-rich, low-mass satellite galaxy with little on-going star formation, in contrast to all previous CO detections of galaxies at similar redshifts. Alternatively, the CO may be related to a gas cloud or filament and perhaps jet-induced gas cooling in the outer halo, somewhat in analogy with extended CO emission found in low-redshift galaxy clusters.

Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Influenza viruses are by nature unstable with high levels of mutations. The sequential accumulation of mutations in the surface glycoproteins allows the virus to evade the neutralizing antibodies. The year-round circulation of H3N2 viruses and the endemicity of H5N1 virus in Indonesia are of serious concern, because the two viruses may reeassort to generate strains with pandemic potential. The consideration of the tropics as the influenza reservoir where viral genetic and antigenic diversity are continually generated and reintroduced into temperate countries makes the study of influenza virus evolution in Indonesia is essential. As only limited data are available, there is an urgent need to monitor the phylodynamic and evolutionary patterns, and the genetic characteristics of the influenza A/H3N2 virus in Indonesia. It is also necessary to evaluate how mutations in hemagglutinin (HA) gene might impact on influenza vaccine efficacy. The present study describes the evolutionary and molecular analyses of HA and neuraminidase (NA) genes and their corresponding encoded proteins of influenza A/H3N2 virus from 2008 to 2010 in Indonesia. It aims to provide insight into the evolutionary pattern and the genetic characteristics of the surface glycoprotein of human influenza A/H3N2 virus in Indonesia, from 2008 to 2010. A total of 100 full-length sequences of HA and NA genes of H3N2 virus were obtained from archived samples of Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) surveillance collected from 2008 to 2010. Phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses showed the dynamics of IndonesianH3N2 virus from 2008 to 2010. Obvious antigenic drift with typical ‘ladder-like’ phylogeny was observed. Multiple lineages were also found in each year, suggesting co-circulation of H3N2 strains at different time periods. The mutations of the Indonesian H3N2 virus were not geographically related. This study confirms that the Indonesian samples had high levels of relative genetic diversity and nucleotide substitution rate. It was also revealed that H3N2 virus had circulated approximately one year before the sampling dates. Major mutations at the antigenic sites A and B of HA protein were identified, while relatively conserved sequences were found at the catalytic sites of NA protein. The mutations at the HA antigenic sites appeared to have influence on the predicted value of vaccine efficacy that emphasizes the need of annual vaccine reformulation based on the circulating viral strain in the corresponding year.

Using the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz, we obtain the equation of state, population densities and local density correlation numerically as a function of all physical parameters (interaction, temperature and chemical potentials), quantifying the full crossover between low-temperature ferromagnetic and high-temperature unpolarized regimes. In contrast to the single-component, Lieb-Liniger gas, nonmonotonic behaviour of the local density correlation as a function of temperature is observed.

description: Engaging in Indigenous cultural activities has been found to impact one’s cultural identity and mental health. To address the gap in the studies on Métis wellbeing, health, and cultural connection for Métis youth, a participatory research project was initiated. This community-based study utilized photovoice methodology to explore the meaning of culture for Métis youth, including those in care. This study specifically explored the experiences of Indigenous youth and knowledge holders engaging in Métis culture through beadwork. Participants (N=10) involved with Métis Family Services of Surrey, British Columbia, were invited to take photos of their experiences of connecting to culture through beadwork. Talking circles and semi-structured interviews were conducted for participants to share stories about their selected images. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and themes illustrated by the photos, talking circles, and interview content. Findings include participants’ experience of cultural connection from participating in beadwork as well as how they make meaning of their experiences in relation to their identity. Twelve themes were identified and include the following: (a) cultural identity and connection to culture, (b) connecting to family, (c) sharing and giving back, (d) the role of an “auntie”, (e) fostering pride and confidence, (f) embracing slowing down and patience, (g) learning from mistakes, (h) enjoyable experience, (i) cultivating relaxation and calmness, (j) mental health and well-being, (k) breath regulation, and (l) well-being fostered through connection with nature. This study contributes to the literature exploring Métis youths’ meaning-making process and engagement with the cultural activities of beadwork as well as highlights the need for the government to provide further funding to foster culturally meaningful connection for Métis youth, including those in care.

description: There has been significant progress in the implementation and manipulation of singlet-triplet qubits in GaAs quantum dots. Given the considerably longer spin coherence times measured in Si, considerable interest has been generated recently in Si quantum dots. The physics of these systems is considerably more complex than the physics of GaAs quantum dots owing to the presence of the valley degree of freedom, which constitutes the focus of this work. In this paper we investigate the physics of Si quantum dots and focus on the feasibility of quantum coherent singlet-triplet qubit experiments analogous to those performed in GaAs. This additional degree of freedom greatly increases the complexity of the ground state and gives rise to highly nontrivial and interesting physics in the processes of qubit initialization, coherent manipulation and readout. We discuss the operational definition of a qubit in Si-based quantum dots. We find that in the presence of valley degeneracy a singlet-triplet qubit cannot be constructed, whereas for large valley splitting (>>k_B*T) the experiment is similar to GaAs. We show that experiments on singlet-triplet qubits analogous to those in GaAs would provide a method for estimating the valley coupling in Si. A Zeeman field distinguishes between different initialized states for any valley splitting and provides a tool to determine the size of this splitting.

description: To derive the history of star formation in the Universe a set of calibrated star formation rate tracers at different wavelengths is required. The calibration has to consistently take into account the effects of extinction, star formation regime (short or long-lived) and evolutionary state to avoid biases at different redshift ranges. We use evolutionary synthesis models optimized for intense episodes of star formation in order to compute a consistent calibration of the most usual star formation rate tracers at different energy ranges, from X-ray to radio luminosities. Nearly-instantaneous and continuous star formation regimes, and the effect of interstellar extinction are considered, as well as the effect of metallicity on the calibration of the different estimators. A consistent calibration of a complete set of star formation rate tracers is presented, computed for the most usual star-forming regions conditions: evolutionary state, star formation regime, interstellar extinction and initial mass function. We discuss the validity of the different tracers in different star formation scenarios and compare our predictions with previous calibrations of general use. Nearly-instantaneous and continuous star formation regimes must be distinguished. While the Star Formation Strength (\msun) should be used for the former, the more common Star Formation Rate (\msun yr$^{-1}$) is only valid for episodes forming stars at a constant rate during extended periods for time. Moreover, even for the latter, the evolutionary state should be taken into account, since most SFR tracers stabilize only after 100 Myr of evolution.

description: In this paper, we intend to formulate a new metaheuristic algorithm, called Cuckoo Search (CS), for solving optimization problems. This algorithm is based on the obligate brood parasitic behaviour of some cuckoo species in combination with the Levy flight behaviour of some birds and fruit flies. We validate the proposed algorithm against test functions and then compare its performance with those of genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization. Finally, we discuss the implication of the results and suggestion for further research.

Publisher: name: GNS Science

description: A procedure for merging gridded airborne and shipborne magnetic data over the upper North Island has been formulated using Geosoft scripts. The two main products are an integrated total magnetic intensity (TMI) Geosoft grid with 100 m cell size and UTM 60S projection on the NZGD2000 datum and a master database containing the data from 37 individual surveys and from a TMI regional drape grid created from three regional grids. The integrated grid preserves the original TMI frequencies and observation elevations making it useful for forward and inverse modelling. The integrated TMI grid and database can be updated as new magnetic data become available by following the steps outlined in this report. Processing steps are divided into sections and sub-sections that address discrete actions, enabling only relevant subsets of the processing sequence to be run when grid updates are required. Oasis montaj software is the tool used for all processing steps. A Geosoft format database is used to store data, the MAGMAP module for grid filtering, the Compudrape™ module for grid continuation, and the Grid Knitting module for stitching grids. Oasis montaj is also able to export the master database and TMI grid into other formats and projections for output or to be read into other software packages. The procedures described in this report can also be applied for making integrated magnetic grids for a larger area such as the whole of New Zealand or from any geographic area. The processing sequence is also adaptable to produce other geophysical products, where single elevation drape grids are created for various geophysical analysis such as frequency analysis and curie point depth calculations.

description: Longozes represent endemic forests native to the East Balkans. Key factors for their existence are the humid subtropical climate with mild winters and the river inundations occurring twice-yearly. These hygrophilous forests play an essential regulatory role in the runoff peaks by ensuring a crucial ecosystem service as flood storage reservoirs. Nowadays, because of highly decreased and fragmented areals, longozes are red-listed as critically endangered. Hence, they are subject to preservation in compliance with the EU Habitats Directive and Annex 1 of Bulgaria’s Biodiversity Act. Aim and objectives of the study herein are: to investigate the spatio-temporal changes in the longoz forests’ areals along the North Bulgarian coast; to analyze the consequences of the anthropogenic impacts upon the river runoff; to provide a generalized assessment of the longozes’ contemporary flood retention capabilities. Topographic maps from the late 19th century were integrated in GIS to reconstruct the longozes’ historical extents by on-screen digitizing of the areas of interest. Analogous procedures were applied to such from the mid-1970s, a time frame correlating with the Socialist extensive development of Bulgaria’s coast. The areas’ historical land cover as in the late 1980s was further refined using Landsat imagery. These historic data sets were chronologically compared to the longozes’ contemporary extents, available as up-to-date cadastral data. The comparisons were executed using GIS crosstabulation techniques. The analyses demonstrate the ubiquitous decrease of the longozes due to overexploitation of the wood resources, land use shifts, resort construction, decreased river runoff, etc. These findings imply for a deteriorated environmental status, impaired flood storage capacity and the inability of the woods to act as a regulator of the peak ourflows nowadays, well correlating with the recent extreme coastal floods with fluvial origin.

description: This review article describes the trapping of charged particles. The main principles of electromagnetic confinement of various species from elementary particles to heavy atoms are briefly described. The preparation and manipulation with trapped single particles, as well as methods of frequency measurements, providing unprecedented precision, are discussed. Unique applications of Penning traps in fundamental physics are presented. Ultra-precise trap-measurements of masses and magnetic moments of elementary particles (electrons, positrons, protons and antiprotons) confirm CPT-conservation, and allow accurate determination of the fine-structure constant alpha and other fundamental constants. This together with the information on the unitarity of the quark-mixing matrix, derived from the trap-measurements of atomic masses, serves for assessment of the Standard Model of the physics world. Direct mass measurements of nuclides targeted to some advanced problems of astrophysics and nuclear physics are also presented.
