description: We report on a large 44 GHz ($7_0-6_1$ A$^+$) methanol (CH$_3$OH) maser survey of the Galactic Center (GC). The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array was used to search for CH$_3$OH maser emission covering a large fraction of the region around Sgr A. In 25 pointings, over 300 CH$_3$OH maser sources ($>10σ$) were detected. The majority of the maser sources have a single peak emission spectrum with line of sight velocities that range from about $-$13 km\,s$^{-1}$ to 72 km\,s$^{-1}$. Most maser sources were found to have velocities around 35$-$55 km\,s$^{-1}$, closely following velocities of neighboring interacting molecular clouds. The full width half maximum of each individual spectral feature is very narrow ($\sim$0.85 km\,s$^{-1}$ on average). In the north, where Sgr A East is known to be interacting with the 50 km\,s$^{-1}$ molecular cloud, more than 100 44 GHz CH$_3$OH masers were detected. In addition, three other distinct concentrations of masers were found, which appear to be located closer to the interior of the interacting molecular clouds. Possibly a subset of masers are associated with star formation, although conclusive evidence is lacking.

description: Using a combination of low-temperature nanocalorimetry and x-ray diffraction we identify three temperature regimes characterized by distinct Na ordering patterns (low temperature up to 290 K, intermediate 290-340 K, and high above 340 K). Through freezing-in of these patterns we establish the two key roles sodium intercalation plays in the formation of the magnetic ground state: supplying the proper electron count for in-plane ferromagnetic interaction and through the 3D sodium ordering providing the interplane antiferromagnetic exchange path.

description: Platooning technologies enable trucks to drive cooperatively and automatically, providing benefits including less fuel consumption, greater road capacity, and safety. This paper introduces an aggregated zero-knowledge proof and blockchain-empowered system for privacy-preserving identity verification in the mixed fleet platooning environment. The correctness proof and the security analysis of the proposed authentication scheme are provided, highlighting its increased security and fast performance in comparison to a single-proof design. The blockchain performs the role of verifier within the authentication scheme, reducing unnecessary communication overhead. Moreover, the blockchain improves system resilience by providing fault tolerance to the decentralized verification process. Platooning records are stored directly on the digital ledger to guarantee data immutability and integrity, while the programmable access control policies ensure data privacy. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can perform authentication on the order of milliseconds, regardless of the number of proofs, highlighting feasibility for real-world deployment in truck platooning.

description: The principle of least action is arguably the most fundamental principle in physics as it can be used to derive the equations of motion in various branches of physics. However, this principle has not been experimentally demonstrated at the quantum level because the propagators for Feymann's path integrals have never been observed. The propagator is a fundamental concept and contains various significant properties of a quantum system in path integral formulation, so its experimental observation is itself essential in quantum mechanics. Here we theoretically propose and experimentally observe single photons' propagators based on the method of directly measuring quantum wave-functions. Furthermore, we obtain the classical trajectories of the single photons in free space and in a harmonic trap based on the extremum of the observed propagators, thereby experimentally demonstrating the quantum principle of least action. Our work paves the way for experimentally exploring fundamental problems of quantum theory in the formulation of path integrals.

description: We study features of the thermoelectric transport through a Kitaev chain hosting Majorana bound states (MBS) at its ends. We describe the behavior of the Seebeck coefficient and the ZT figure of merit for two different configurations between MBS and normal current leads. We find an important violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law in one of these geometries, leading to sizeable values of the thermoelectric efficiency over a narrow window in chemical potential away from neutrality. These findings could lead to interesting thermoelectric-based MBSs detection devices, via measurements of the Seebeck coefficient and figure of merit.

Disposal from Museum Collections: Navigating the ethos, ideals, and practice of transparency
Creators: name: Durrant, Jennifer M.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis explores the concept of transparency and its application to the process of curatorially-motivated disposal in UK museums. I establish the ethical necessity of transparency through audience visibility and understanding, but evidence extensive concealment by practitioners. I propose this secrecy stems from a historical professional mindset of risk aversion. I demonstrate that transparency can be created through the conscious consideration of audiences and communication modes, utilising relationships of trust to transform perceived risks into beneficial practice. Using an interpretivist strategy of exploration, I discover the interplay between individual perception and professional practice within the institutional context. Utilising the theories of Communities of Practice and Radical Transparency I propose a Transparent Communication Model in which reflexivity generates action. Through a survey of practitioners’ views and practice I explore how disposal has been hidden or revealed to professional, public, and stakeholder audiences. I discover a desire for transparency with those audiences perceived to share museum knowledge, and I identify perceived barriers to transparency creation. Within two case studies I explore how mindset shapes practice. At Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery I examine transparency for public audiences within the project Stories from the Stores. Through innovation the staff made visible their work and sought publicly held knowledge. But I evidence how outcomes can be limited by institutional frameworks and resource practicalities. At the Museum of London I examine transparency for professional audiences through the project Collections Review and Rationalisation (Social and Working History Collections). I reveal the centrality of confidence for creating trusting relationships and influencing sectoral change, but discover a conscious opacity for public audiences. Throughout this thesis I witness the emotive, temporal, and subjective quandaries of decision-making. Ultimately, I propose that the professional desire for disposal transparency can be achieved by considering risk as a tool for positive action.

description: We report on Green Bank Telescope 23.87 GHz NH$_3$(3,3), emission observations in five supernova remnants interacting with molecular clouds (G1.4$-$0.1, IC443, W44, W51C, and G5.7$-$0.0). The observations show a clumpy gas density distribution, and in most cases the narrow line widths of $\sim3-4$\,km\,s$^{-1}$ are suggestive of maser emission. Very Large Array observations reveal 36~GHz and/or 44~GHz CH$_3$OH, maser emission in a majority (72\%) of the NH$_3$, peak positions towards three of these SNRs. This good positional correlation is in agreement with the high densities required for the excitation of each line. Through these observations we have shown that CH$_3$OH, and NH$_3$, maser emission can be used as indicators of high density clumps of gas shocked by supernova remnants, and provide density estimates thereof. Modeling of the optical depth of the NH$_3$(3,3) emission is compared to that of CH$_3$OH, constraining the densities of the clumps to a typical density of the order of $10^5$~cm$^{-3}$ for cospatial masers. Regions of gas with this density are found to exist in the post-shocked gas quite close to the SNR shock front, and may be associated with sites where cosmic rays produce gamma-ray emission via neutral pion decay.

description: We developed a six-band $k \cdot p$ model that describes the electronic states of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) in $K$-valleys. The set of parameters for the $k \cdot p$ model is uniquely determined by decomposing tight-binding (TB) models in the vicinity of $K^\pm$-points. First, we used TB models existing in literature to derive systematic parametrizations for different materials, including MoS$_2$, WS$_2$, MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$. Then, by using the derived six-band $k \cdot p$ Hamiltonian we calculated effective masses, Landau levels, and the effective exciton $g$-factor $g_{X^0}$ in different TMDCs. We showed that TB parameterizations existing in literature result in small absolute values of $g_{X^0}$, which are far from the experimentally measured $g_{X^0} \approx -4$. To further investigate this issue we derived two additional sets of $k \cdot p$ parameters by developing our own TB parameterizations based on simultaneous fitting of ab-initio calculated, within the density functional (DFT) and $GW$ approaches, energy dispersion and the value of $g_{X^0}$. We showed that the change in TB parameters, which only slightly affects the dispersion of higher conduction and deep valence bands, may result in a significant increase of $|g_{X^0}|$, yielding close-to-experiment values of $g_{X^0}$. Such a high parameter sensitivity of $g_{X^0}$ opens a way to further improvement of DFT and TB models.

description: The firehose and mirror instabilities are thought to arise in a variety of space and astrophysical plasmas, constraining the pressure anisotropies and drifts between particle species. The plasma stability depends on all species simultaneously, meaning that a combined analysis is required. Here, we present the first such analysis in the solar wind, using the long-wavelength stability parameters to combine the anisotropies and drifts of all major species (core and beam protons, alphas, and electrons). At the threshold, the firehose parameter was found to be dominated by protons (67%), but also to have significant contributions from electrons (18%) and alphas (15%). Drifts were also found to be important, contributing 57% in the presence of a proton beam. A similar situation was found for the mirror, with contributions of 61%, 28%, and 11% for protons, electrons, and alphas, respectively. The parallel electric field contribution, however, was found to be small at 9%. Overall, the long-wavelength thresholds constrain the data well (<1% unstable), and the implications of this are discussed.

description: Efficient processing of large-scale graphs in distributed environments has been an increasingly popular topic of research in recent years. Inter-connected data that can be modeled as graphs arise in application domains such as machine learning, recommendation, web search, and social network analysis. Writing distributed graph applications is inherently hard and requires programming models that can cover a diverse set of problem domains, including iterative refinement algorithms, graph transformations, graph aggregations, pattern matching, ego-network analysis, and graph traversals. Several high-level programming abstractions have been proposed and adopted by distributed graph processing systems and big data platforms. Even though significant work has been done to experimentally compare distributed graph processing frameworks, no qualitative study and comparison of graph programming abstractions has been conducted yet. In this survey, we review and analyze the most prevalent high-level programming models for distributed graph processing, in terms of their semantics and applicability. We identify the classes of graph applications that can be naturally expressed by each abstraction and we also give examples of applications that are hard or impossible to express. We review 34 distributed graph processing systems with respect to their programming abstractions, execution models, and communication mechanisms. Finally, we discuss trends and open research questions in the area of distributed graph processing.

description: We have performed self-consistent Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) and its renormalized theory to the structure calculations of finite nuclei. The $G$-matrix is calculated within the BHF basis, and the exact Pauli exclusion operator is determined by the BHF spectrum. Self-consistent occupation probabilities are included in the renormalized Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF). Various systematics and convergences are studies. Good results are obtained for the ground-state energy and radius. RBHF can give a more reasonable single-particle spectrum and radius. We present a first benchmark calculation with other {\it ab initio} methods using the same effective Hamiltonian. We find that the BHF and RBHF results are in good agreement with other $\it{ab}$ $\it{initio}$ methods.

title: Strategy in Multinational Corporations (MNCs) – An exploratory study of the subsidiary perspective in an emerging market
Creators: name: Fisher, Richard
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: Despite the recent growth of the Turkish economy and its success in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) – especially within its banking sector – the context has received little attention in the literature. Moreover, previous studies – including strategy research – tends to focus on narrow operational issues, such as efficiency, profitability, and competitive structure, and in doing so overlooks the influence of context and other nuances which are implicit in strategy formulation. In contrast, this thesis utilises a broader methodology – a qualitative multiple case study – and applies a Practice Theory lens to construct a nuanced and contextualised view of strategy in the field of global banks operating in Istanbul from the subsidiary perspective.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore strategy within the subsidiaries, guided by the research question: What are the key influences on strategy development within the context on MNCs subsidiaries? The research is based on data from 30 semi-structured interviews with practitioners at 5 MNC subsidiaries in Istanbul, supported by secondary data, such as reports produced by the subsidiaries studied. The findings provide insights into the influences on strategy in this particular context and are grouped into insights to strategy, culture and headquarters – subsidiary relations, the latter two facilitated by the use of subsidiaries in an emerging market as vehicle in which to study strategy.

To summarise, the research provides a nuanced understanding of strategy within the chosen context which contributes to knowledge within the field of International Business. Theoretically speaking, the thesis adopts an integrative lens consisting of several strands of Practice Theory and applies it in a largely underexplored context. This subsequently makes a methodological contribution by presenting a qualitative case study in a field dominated by quantitative studies which essentially adds a context bound study in a field which is largely context free. The contribution of the research to practice consists of a series of managerial recommendations, supported by the findings on how to improve strategy formulation processes in MNC subsidiaries.

Like any research, the study has its limitations, and due to its underlying qualitative approach certainly lacks generalisability, although given the focus on context, objectivity is not something that this type of research seeks. Finally, the thesis uncovered some potentially interesting avenues for future research.

Site Recurrence for continuous-time open quantum walks on the line
Creators: name: Loebens, Newton
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In recent years, several properties and recurrence criteria of discrete-time open quantum walks (OQWs) have been presented. Recently, Pellegrini introduced continuous-time open quantum walks (CTOQWs) as continuous-time natural limits of discrete-time OQWs. In this work, we study semifinite CTOQWs and some of their basic properties concerning statistics, such as transition probabilities and site recurrence. The notion of SJK-recurrence for CTOQWs is introduced, and it is shown to be equivalent to the traditional concept of recurrence. This statistic arises from the definition of $δ$-skeleton of CTOQWs, which is a dynamic that allows us to obtain a discrete-time OQW in terms of a CTOQW. We present a complete criterion for site recurrence in the case of CTOQW induced by a coin of finite dimension with a set of vertices $\mathbb{Z}$ such that its auxiliary Lindblad operator has a single stationary state. Finally, we present a similar criterion that completes the case in which the internal degree of freedom of each site is of dimension 2.

description: Peptide self-assemblies are a natural template for designing bio-inspired functional materials given the extensive characterisation of neurodegenerative and non-disease biological amyloid protein assemblies and advances in rational, modelling-led materials design. These bioinspired materials employ design rules obtained from known aggregation-prone peptides or de novo screening for sequences most amenable to self-assemble functional nanostructures. Here, we exploit the hybrid nature of a complex peptide with both ordered crystalline and intrinsically disordered regions, namely, the microtubule-binding domain (MBD) of tau protein, to probe the physical driving forces for self-assembly at the molecular level. We model the peptide in its native and mutated states to identify the supramolecular packing driving stabilisation at the prefibrillar level. We use extensive atomic-resolution molecular dynamics computer simulations, contact maps, hydrogen-bond net-works and free energy calculations to model the tau MBD and its two known familial mutants, the P301L and K280Δ, along with a control double mutant, P301L + K280Δ as a first step towards understanding their effects on oligomer stability in fibrillar fold. Our results indicate that the mutations destabilise supramolecular packing in the pro-fibrillar hexamer by breaking contacts in the ordered domain of tau MBD, which helps explain mutation-induced toxicity levels as the more stable wild-type peptide assemblies may be less prone to crumbling, producing fewer toxic small oligomeric seeds. Our most important finding is that tau familial mutations causing frontotemporal dementia may show distinct morphologies delineating different stages of self-assembly. The models show that the P301L mutant is more pro-nucleating with low tendency for assembly polymerisation, whereas K280Δ is more pro-elongating with potential for protofibrillar growth. Our data provides a predictive mechanistic model for distinct peptide self-assembly features depending on the location and nature of single missense mutations on the partially disordered pathogenic MBD, which may explain the prevalence of polymorphic filamentous tau strains observed experimentally.
Fluid transport and mixing by an unsteady microswimmer

description: We study the fluid drift due to a time-dependent dumbbell model of a microswimmer. The model captures important aspects of real microswimmers such as a time-dependent flagellar motion and a no-slip body. The model consists of a rigid sphere for the body and a time-dependent moving Stokeslet representing the flagella. We analyze the paths of idealized fluid particles displaced by the swimmer. The simplicity of the model allows some asymptotic calculations very near and far away from the swimmer. The displacements of particles near the swimmer diverge in a manner similar to an isolated no-slip sphere, but with a smaller coefficient due to the action of the flagellum. Far from the swimmer, the time dependence becomes negligible due to both being very fast and decaying with distance. Finally, we compute the probability distribution of particle displacements, and find that our model has fatter tails than previous steady models, due to the presence of a no-slip surface that drags particles along.

description: This paper examines scheduling problem denoted as $P|seq, ser|C_{max}$ in Graham's notation; in other words, scheduling of tasks on parallel identical machines ($P$) with sequence-dependent setups ($seq$) each performed by one of the available servers ($ser$). The goal is to minimize the makespan ($C_{max}$). We propose a Constraint Programming (CP) model for finding the optimal solution and constructive heuristics suitable for large problem instances. These heuristics are also used to provide a feasible starting solution to the proposed CP model, significantly improving its efficiency. This combined approach constructs solutions for benchmark instances of up to 20 machines and 500 tasks in 10 seconds, with makespans 3-11.5% greater than the calculated lower bounds with a 5% average. The extensive experimental comparison also shows that our proposed approaches outperform the existing ones.

description: We demonstrate that important information about linear optical circuits can be obtained through the phase shift induced by integrated optical resonators. As a proof of principle, the phase of an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer is determined. Then the method is applied to a complex optical circuit designed for linear optical quantum computation. In this controlled-NOT gate with qubit initialization and tomography stages, the relative phases are determined as well as the coupling ratios of its directional couplers.

description: Sessile marine invertebrates play a vital role as ecosystem engineers and in benthic–pelagic coupling. Most benthic fauna develop through larval stages and the importance of natural light cycles for larval biology and ecology is long-established. Natural light–dark cycles regulate two of the largest ocean-scale processes that are fundamental to larvae's life cycle: the timing of broadcast spawning for successful fertilization and diel vertical migration for foraging and predator avoidance. Given the reliance on light and the ecological role of larvae, surprisingly little is known about the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the early life history of habitat-forming species. We quantified ALAN impacts on larval performance (survival, growth, development) of two cosmopolitan ecosystem engineers in temperate marine ecosystems, the mussel Mytilus edulis and the barnacle Austrominius modestus. Higher ALAN irradiance reduced survival in both species (57% and 13%, respectively). ALAN effects on development and growth were small overall, and different between species, time-points, and parentage. Our results show that ALAN adversely affects larval survival and reiterates the importance of paternal influence on offspring performance. ALAN impacts on the early life stages of ecosystem engineering species have implications not only for population viability but also the ecological communities these species support.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Light pollution in complex ecological systems’.

description: We expect exascale machines to enable QMC applications on larger systems than those that can be treated today. This implies that systems will have larger numbers of electrons, and/or larger Configuration Interaction (CI) expansions. In this Work Package (WP), we investigate ways to overcome new difficulties that will arise when running exascale simulations. Exascale machines will often be used to run simulations that can’t run on smaller systems. So the computed data will be particularly valuable to users, and it should not be lost by accident during the simulation. In addition, an exascale machine will be such a complex piece of hardware and software that it is not reasonable to neglect system failures in the design of dedicated software. The first section of this document discusses different strategies used to make simulations robust to system failures.

description: Quantum sensors offer unparalleled precision, accuracy, and sensitivity for a variety of measurement applications. We report a compact magnetometer based on a ferrimagnetic sensing element in an oscillator architecture that circumvents challenges common to other quantum sensing approaches such as limited dynamic range, limited bandwidth, and dependence on vacuum, cryogenic, or laser components. The device exhibits a fixed, calibration-free response governed by the electron gyromagnetic ratio. Exchange narrowing in the ferrimagnetic material produces sub-MHz transition linewidths despite the high unpaired spin density ($\sim 10^{22}$ cm$^{-3}$). The magnetometer achieves a minimum sensitivity of 100 fT/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ to AC magnetic fields of unknown phase and a sensitivity below 200 fT/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ over a bandwidth $\gtrsim \! 1$ MHz. By encoding magnetic field in frequency rather than amplitude, the device provides a dynamic range in excess of 1 mT. The passive, thermal initialization of the sensor's quantum state requires only a magnetic bias field, greatly reducing power requirements compared to laser-initialized quantum sensors. With additional development, this device promises to be a leading candidate for high-performance magnetometry outside the laboratory, and the oscillator architecture is expected to provide advantages across a wide range of sensing platforms.
