description: Apple Replant Disease (ARD) is a significant problem in apple orchards that causes root tissue damage, stunted plant growth, and decline in fruit quality, size, and overall yield. Dysbiosis of apple root-associated microbiome and selective richness of Streptomyces species in the rhizosphere typically concurs root impairment associated with ARD. However, possible roles of Streptomyces secondary metabolites within these observations remain unstudied. Therefore, we employed the One Strain Many Compounds (OSMAC) approach coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMSn) to evaluate the chemical ecology of an apple root-associated Streptomyces ciscaucasicus strain GS2, temporally over 14 days. The chemical OSMAC approach comprised cultivation media alterations using six different media compositions, which led to the biosynthesis of the iron-chelated siderophores, ferrioxamines. The biological OSMAC approach was concomitantly applied by dual-culture cultivation for microorganismal interactions with an endophytic Streptomyces pulveraceus strain ES16 and the pathogen Cylindrocarpon olidum. This led to the modulation of ferrioxamines produced and further triggered biosynthesis of the unchelated siderophores, desferrioxamines. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using HRMSn and by comparison with the literature. We evaluated the dynamics of siderophore production under the combined influence of chemical and biological OSMAC triggers, temporally over 3, 7, and 14 days, to discern the strain’s siderophore-mediated chemical ecology. We discuss our results based on the plausible chemical implications of S. ciscaucasicus strain GS2 in the rhizosphere.

Electoral Violence

Governance Structures

description: The reinstatement of the multiparty system in Zanzibar in 1992 marked the onset of turbulent election-related strife, characterized by a recurring pattern of violence, killings, and social unrest during every electoral cycle (John, 2020). Minde et al. (2018) attribute this turmoil to unadjusted electoral practices within the multiparty system, intensifying the acrimony among competing parties. Accusations and skepticism about the electoral process have been persistent, creating a climate of mistrust between the incumbent and opposition parties.

In response to the escalating electoral conflicts, Zanzibar witnessed a landmark agreement in 2010 between the leaders of the two major political parties, Amani Abeid Karume of Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and Seif Sharif Hamad of Civic United Front (CUF), aiming to quell the prolonged electoral-related conflicts on the island (Bakari and Makulilo, 2022). This accord gave rise to a unique governance system—Power-sharing—adopted through a referendum and constitutional change ahead of the 2010 general election. The primary objectives were to foster stability and democracy through this innovative governance model.

The Power-sharing arrangement operated for five years, achieving a semblance of stability before collapsing in 2015. It made a comeback in 2020 after the general election, which unfortunately witnessed a recurrence of violence, killings, and injuries reminiscent of pre-Power-sharing times (Council of the EU, 2020; Minde, 2021).

This study delves into the dynamics of Zanzibar's electoral landscape, tracing the trajectory of electoral violence, the inception of Power-sharing, its subsequent collapse, and its revival in 2020. By scrutinizing the interplay between Power-sharing, stability, and democracy, the research seeks to contribute valuable insights into the complexities of governance structures in post-conflict electoral contexts

description: Residual stresses resulting from hot-forming processes represent an important aspect of a component’s performance and service life. Considering the whole process chain of hot forming, the integrated heat treatment provided by a defined temperature profile during cooling offers a great potential for the targeted adjustment of the desired residual stress state. Finite element (FE) simulation is a powerful tool for virtual process design aimed at generating a beneficial residual stress profile. The validation of these FE models is typically carried out on the basis of individual surface points, as these are accessible through methods like X-ray diffraction, hole-drilling, or the nanoindentation method. However, especially in bulk forming components, it is important to evaluate the quality of the model based on residual stress data from the volume. For these reasons, in this paper, an FE model which was already validated by near surface X-ray diffraction analyses was used to explain the development of residual stresses in a reference hot forming process for different cooling scenarios. Subsequently, the reference process scenarios were experimentally performed, and the resulting residual stress distributions in the cross-section of the bulk specimens were determined by means of the contour method. These data were used to further validate the numerical simulation of the hot forming process, wherein a good agreement between the contour method and process simulation was observed.

description: Purpose: Papua New Guinea (PNG) has extreme linguistic diversity reflected in its three national languages and sociolinguistic diversity comprising over 380 vernaculars or Tokples, English and the lingua francas, which include Tok Pisin (TP). This first clinical cross-sectional study of consonant acquisition in TP-speaking children sought to identify universal features and the impact of age on phonological development. Method: A local picture naming task was developed and used to elicit a speech sample from 80 children (aged 3;0–6;11). Phonetic and phonemic inventories and developmental phonological processes were analysed across the sample and also in 12-month age groups. Result: Statistically significant differences were found between the Percentage Consonants Correct (PCC) of the 3YO and other age groups. Mean PCC increased with age, but high variation within age groups meant differences were not statistically significant. Universal features observed included the early acquisition of plosives and late mastery of /r/. Language-specific features included processes such as fricatisation and earlier acquisition of /ʤ/ before /s/. Creolisation was seen in morphophonemic condensation and the influence of loanwords. Conclusion: This study demonstrates both universal and language-specific features amidst wide diversity influencing phonological acquisition in creolising TP. This first phonological study of TP consonant development will inform future clinical speech-language pathology practice in PNG.
The Australian legend and Australian post-apocalyptic fiction: national identity and the end of the world

Post-apocalyptic fiction is explicitly concerned with the creation of future worlds that, more often that not, resemble the sites of the Imperial Western colonial era. Motifs such as a lack of technology, dangerous and inhospitable landscapes, a favouring of practicality over intellect, and an emphasis on individualism and physicality are commonplace, with the genre heavily informed by the tropes of the “Western”. Australian post-apocalyptic fiction, however, is often markedly different. In both my novel, The Dry, and the accompanying critical work (The Australian Legend and Australian Post-apocalyptic Fiction), I will both explicate these differences and illuminate the most influential factor behind them: the Australian Legend, an iconic and mythologised figure that acts as a representation and personification of a certain kind of Australian national identity. The Dry does this by focussing on the themes and concepts of mateship, community, egalitarianism and disdain for authority (stereotypical components of Australian national identity), rather than on themes of survivalism, the frontier, or individualism; The Australian Legend and Australian Post-apocalyptic Fiction does this through a close analysis of four works of Australian post-apocalyptic fiction. These analyses not only examine the themes of each text under discussion, but also give some historical context to these themes. Most importantly, these analyses also highlight the influence of the Australian Legend figure upon each text and explain the ways in which these texts employ and reconfigure the traits and values that underlie this figure, an employment and reconfiguration that truly differentiates them from their international kin.
Skipping Selected Steps of DWT Computation in Lossless JPEG 2000 for Improved Bitrates

description: In order to improve bitrates of lossless JPEG 2000, we propose to modify the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) by skipping selected steps of its computation. We employ a heuristic to construct the skipped steps DWT (SS-DWT) in an image-adaptive way and define fixed SS-DWT variants. For a large and diverse set of images, we find that SS-DWT significantly improves bitrates of non-photographic images. From a practical standpoint, the most interesting results are obtained by applying entropy estimation of coding effects for selecting among the fixed SS-DWT variants. This way we get the compression scheme that, as opposed to the general SS-DWT case, is compliant with the JPEG 2000 part 2 standard. It provides average bitrate improvement of roughly 5% for the entire test-set, whereas the overall compression time becomes only 3% greater than that of the unmodified JPEG 2000. Bitrates of photographic and non-photographic images are improved by roughly 0.5% and 14%, respectively. At a significantly increased cost of exploiting a heuristic, selecting the steps to be skipped based on the actual bitrate instead of an estimated one, and by applying reversible denoising and lifting steps to SS-DWT, we have attained greater bitrate improvements of up to about 17.5% for non-photographic images.

description: L’instruction n° DGOS/PF2/DGS/VSS1/2016/220 du 4 juillet 2016 relative au traitement des endoscopes souples thermosensibles à canaux au sein des lieux de soins précise que la mise en œuvre de vérifications et contrôles, appelés qualification, d’équipements (tels que les enceintes de stockage des endoscopes thermosensibles [Eset] et les laveurs-désinfecteurs d’endoscopes [LDE]) constitue un préalable indispensable à leur mise en service. Malheureusement, alors qu’elle est largement acceptée et suivie en stérilisation pour les laveurs-désinfecteurs d’instruments (LDI) et les procédés de stérilisation, cette démarche, n’est que très rarement mise en œuvre dans les services d’endoscopie. Ce manquement avait déjà été signalé en 2015 par l’Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé (ANSM), qui avait souligné que la majorité des établissements n’avait pas réalisé de qualification des performances du couple LDE/endoscope au moment de l’acquisition du LDE ou de nouveaux endoscopes, ou annuellement lors de la requalification. D’après les experts de l’ANSM, cette absence de qualification des performances par l’exploitant semble être due à une méconnaissance de la nécessité de réaliser cette étape primordiale dans le processus de nettoyage et désinfection des endoscopes. L’objectif de cet article est de faire le point sur l’intérêt et les enjeux de ces qualifications de performances.

description: This work addresses the problem of difficulties in the implementation of Computer Aided Production Management systems, and presents a methodology for their implementation which significantly improves on current practice. The methodology provides a structured approach which leads the company through a series of strategic business decisions which establish the context within which the solution must operate. The work focusses attention upon the design of the whole system with respect to the relationship between computerised functions and the infrastructure of human elements which facilitate and govern the system's operation. A model of the tasks involved in production management is presented. The model is used to structure decisions relating to the design of the infrastructure. The research work described proceeded in two distinct stages. In the first stage the author participated with other researchers who jointly developed the framework of the process methodology for CAPM implementation. This stage provides the context for the development of the task model approach to the design of the system, which represents the author's individual contribution (see section 1.8). The task model can be used as a tool to identify the options available for the way each task within production management may be executed, giving the user a basis for the design of a particular system while not advocating any particular solution. By the use of this approach the user is encouraged to consider the options available and to adopt an integrated approach which looks at all areas of production management, not only those for which there is a pressing problem or a tempting solution. This work results in a contribution to the development of the process methodology, the development of a tool in the CAPM task model and a review of the factors involved in the design of a system including both human and computerised elements.

description: We show a concise extension of the monotone stability approach to backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) that are jointly driven by a Brownian motion and a random measure for jumps, which could be of infinite activity with a non-deterministic and time inhomogeneous compensator. The BSDE generator function can be non convex and needs not to satisfy global Lipschitz conditions in the jump integrand. We contribute concrete criteria, that are easy to verify, for results on existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions to BSDEs with jumps, and on comparison and a-priori $L^{\infty}$-bounds. Several examples and counter examples are discussed to shed light on the scope and applicability of different assumptions, and we provide an overview of major applications in finance and optimal control.

description: The discovery of spatio-temporal dependencies within urban road networks that cause Recurrent Congestion (RC) patterns is crucial for numerous real-world applications, including urban planning and the scheduling of public transportation services. While most existing studies investigate temporal patterns of RC phenomena, the influence of the road network topology on RC is often over-looked. This article proposes the ST-DISCOVERY algorithm, a novel unsupervised spatio-temporal data mining algorithm that facilitates effective data-driven discovery of RC dependencies induced by the road network topology using real-world traffic data. We factor out regularly reoccurring traffic phenomena, such as rush hours, mainly induced by the daytime, by modelling and systematically exploiting temporal traffic load outliers. We present an algorithm that first constructs connected subgraphs of the road network based on the traffic speed outliers. Second, the algorithm identifies pairs of subgraphs that indicate spatio-temporal correlations in their traffic load behaviour to identify topological dependencies within the road network. Finally, we rank the identified subgraph pairs based on the dependency score determined by our algorithm. Our experimental results demonstrate that ST-DISCOVERY can effectively reveal topological dependencies in urban road networks.
title: Studies of hyper-recombination and mutator strains of Escherichia Coli K12.
Creators: name: Kalaycioglu, Ali
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This project concerns hyper-recombination and mutator mutants of Escherichia coli K12 which have been obtained by an examination of colonies on BMB-lactose agar of an F-merodiploid strain, H2 lac⁻/F lac⁻, with different mutations in the lacZ genes, for those which showed an increased number of lac⁺ papillae. Hyper-recombination mutants were a minority of the strains isolated by this method because the wild-type gene could only be formed by two cross-over events in a short segment of the chromosome; strains that were mutator or had duplications of a lacZ gene were frequent. One of the hyper-recombination mutants, H2114, has been shown to carry a mutation, mapped on the Escherichia coli chromosome near thyA which in this strain and in other genetic backgrounds, increased the yield of P1- mediated transductants. The mutated gene in H2114 has been given the symbol, hypB, because it appeared to be different in phenotype and location from that described by Konrad and Lehman (1975)» In crosses with certain Hfr strains the yields of recombinants were higher than those obtained with the parent strains. The yield of recombinants from crosses in which strain H2114 acted as donor were also higher than those obtained with the parental F merodiploids. Recombination within short regions of the chromosome was examined by measuring the yields of ara⁺ recombinants in P1-mediated crosses with various ara⁻ donors. The relative enhancement of the yield was greater, the smaller the interval in which one cross-over event was obligatory. Recombination between mutants of phage λ was also increased. The enhanced recombination is dependent upon the recBC genes because recombination in double' mutants hypB recB was that expected of recB strains

description: We revisit a central result of Muhly and Solel on operator algebras of C*-correspondences. We prove that (possibly non-injective) strongly Morita equivalent C*-correspondences have strongly Morita equivalent relative Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras. The same holds for strong Morita equivalence (in the sense of Blecher, Muhly and Paulsen) and strong $Δ$-equivalence (in the sense of Eleftherakis) for the related tensor algebras. In particular, we obtain stable isomorphism of the operator algebras when the equivalence is given by a $σ$-TRO. As an application we show that strong Morita equivalence coincides with strong $Δ$-equivalence for tensor algebras of aperiodic C*-correspondences.

Evidence of Indo-Aryan dialect in 10 Minoan Linear A inscriptions and Minoan Indo-Aryan etymologies of 16 Greek words
Creators: name: Caveney, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Electronic Journal of Vedic Studies
Year: 2022

description: This paper presents the analysis of 10 Minoan Linear A inscriptions as grammatical Indo-Aryan statements. The paper demonstrates the historical plausibility of the presence of Indo-Aryan speakers on Crete circa the 17th c. BCE. The paper argues for the soundness of comparing Linear A words with very similar Indo-Aryan forms attested in later stages of Sanskrit: One cannot expect to find the same expressions attested both in Minoan inscriptions and in the Rigveda, even if they reflect dialects of the same language. This analysis of Linear A uses the same basic principles and phonetic values as Ventris & Chadwick’s analysis of Linear B. The basic principles of the syllabic sign system of Linear B are summarized, and the phonemic reading rules specific to Linear A are presented. The main body of the paper comprises the analysis of 10 Minoan Linear A inscriptions as grammatical Indo-Aryan statements. Also, Minoan Indo-Aryan etymologies of 16 Greek words are proposed, including θαλασσα ‘sea’, λαβυρινθος (labyrinth), κυπάρισσος ‘cypress’, etc. As a “control group” test, an attempt to interpret a Linear B inscription, known to be Greek, as an Indo-Aryan statement fails. The paper concludes that the resemblances between the words in the Linear A inscriptions and the corresponding Sanskrit forms presented in this paper cannot be due to random chance coincidence, and thus that the 10 Linear A inscriptions presented in this paper must represent an Indo-Aryan dialect

Bildung e traduzione. Attualità di un intreccio pedagogico

description: Abstract – A reflection on the analogy between translation and education could offer a significant contribution to the contemporary debate on the notion of Bildung. Translation is – as education – always an ethical-practical mediation. In the same way, a formative translation can indicate the latencies of the educational experience operating in the passages of cultural heritage and of transmission. For Humboldt, translation illuminates a double Bildung process at work: the educational one, which concerns values and legacy, and the formative one, which concerns knowledge, skills, transmission. These themes that characterized the debate of the end of the XVIII century, especially between Goethe, Herder and Humboldt around the Bildung and in relation to the hermeneutic theory of translation, are very relevant and necessary today for a pedagogical reflection as the ethics of educational practice. Riassunto – Una riflessione sull’analogia tra la teoria e la pratica della traduzione e quella formativa potrebbe offrire un contributo rilevante al dibattito contemporaneo sulla nozione di Bildung. La traduzione è – come la formazione – sempre una mediazione etico-pratica. Allo stesso modo, una traduzione formativa può indicare le latenze dell’esperienza educativa operanti nei passaggi dell’eredità culturale, della trasmissione. Per Humboldt nella traduzione si vede all’opera un doppio processo di Bildung: quello educativo, che riguarda i valori e l’eredità, e quello formativo, che riguarda le conoscenze, le competenze, la trasmissione. Questi temi che hanno caratterizzato il dibattito di fine XVIII secolo, soprattutto tra Goethe, Herder e Humboldt intorno alla Bildung e in rapporto alla teoria ermeneutica della traduzione sono oggi attualissimi e necessari per una riflessione pedagogica intesa come etica della pratica formativa.

The Social Organisation of the Illicit Trafficking in Antiquities: The Cases of Bulgaria and Italy
Creators: name: Sciandra, Elena
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2019

description: Illicit trafficking in antiquities is a transnational market that shows high level of complexity due to the diversification in the actors involved, the objects smuggled and the vast geographical areas targeted. The networked organised crime type has been utilised to describe the transnational nature of the illicit antiquities trafficking, however it eludes the precise characterisation of the mechanisms of interaction between the actors. The thesis aims at examining the dynamics of the organisation of the actors involved in the illicit trafficking at issue in Bulgaria and Italy. To achieve this goal, a model of script analysis was developed to classify the activities that shape this market, their criminal or lawful nature, their interaction, their weight and significance within the whole illicit antiquities trafficking, and the complexity, sophistication and professionalisation of the persons and groups active in this illicit trafficking. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews with law enforcement officials, archaeologists and prosecutors, and open data research. The thesis is divided in five parts. While part one introduces the topic, part two applies the social organisation of deviants? framework to the illicit antiquities trafficking. Part three presents the research design and develops the script used to analyse the case studies described in part four: Bulgaria and Italy. They are sources of antiquities and serve as a bridge to several illegal goods that are smuggled into western European markets, including illicit antiquities. Part five concludes with a comparative discussion of the findings. This study highlights the possibilities of script analysis as research method to investigate understudied transnational crimes. It grounds what is currently known about the transnational illicit antiquities trafficking to the reality, by providing an accurate description of the ways people interact and shape the structure of the crossborder movement of antiquities in Bulgaria and Italy.

description: Compactifications of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on four-manifolds generate a large class of novel 2d quantum field theories. We consider in detail the case of the rank one simple non-Higgsable cluster 6D SCFTs. On the tensor branch of these theories, the gauge group is simple and there are no matter fields. For compactifications on suitably chosen Kahler surfaces, we present evidence that this provides a method to realize 2d SCFTs with N = (0,2) supersymmetry. In particular, we find that reduction on the tensor branch of the 6D SCFT yields a description of the same 2d fixed point that is described in the UV by a gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) in which the parameters are promoted to dynamical fields, that is, a "dynamic GLSM" (DGLSM). Consistency of the model requires the DGLSM to be coupled to additional non-Lagrangian sectors obtained from reduction of the anti-chiral two-form of the 6D theory. These extra sectors include both chiral and anti-chiral currents, as well as spacetime filling non-critical strings of the 6D theory. For each candidate 2d SCFT, we also extract the left- and right-moving central charges in terms of data of the 6D SCFT and the compactification manifold.

Volti della Bildung tra utopia e progresso: da Lessing a Dewey

description: Abstract – In Lessing’s The Education of the Human Race (Die Erziehung den Menschengeschlechts, 1780) the concept of Bildung is represented as the ending point of the process of the emancipation of reason and of the liberation of humankind from its limits. It is the utopia of the “new age of the Spirit”. The analysis of this work by Lessing is intended to point out his implicit vision of education, surviving until 20th century and resurfacing in authors such as John Dewey. The conclusions of the paper focus on the connection between religion on one hand and education and civilization on the other, which also represents a problematic issue in pedagogical reflection. Riassunto – L’educazione del genere umano di Lessing (Die Erziehung den Menschengeschlechts, 1780) spiega la Bildung come esito del processo di emancipazione della ragione e di liberazione dell’uomo dal limite, sullo sfondo dell’utopia di una “nuova era dello Spirito”. L’analisi del testo lessinghiano nei suoi snodi fondamentali intende mettere in luce la visione implicita dell’educazione che lo permea, e che si prolunga – anche nella riflessione pedagogica – fino all’inizio del secolo XX, riemergendo in autori come John Dewey. Nelle conclusioni un’at­ten­zione particolare è poi rivolta al nesso tra religione ed educazione, che continua a costituire un punto problematico centrale anche per la riflessione pedagogica. Keywords – Progress, Pedagogical Reflection and Utopia, Militant Approach to Knowledge and Education, Bildung as Human Autopoiesis, Religion, Education Parole chiave – Progresso, Riflessione pedagogica e utopia, Approccio militante al sapere e all’educazione, Bildung come autopoiesi umana, Religione, Educazione

description: The GRACE Follow-On satellite mission measures distance variations between its two satellites in order to derive monthly gravity field maps, indicating mass variability on Earth on a scale of a few 100 km originating from hydrology, seismology, climatology and other sources. This mission hosts two ranging instruments, a conventional microwave system based on K(a)-band ranging (KBR) and a novel laser ranging instrument (LRI), both relying on interferometric phase readout. In this paper, we show how the phase measurements can be converted into range data using a time-dependent carrier frequency (or wavelength) that takes into account potential intraday variability in the microwave or laser frequency. Moreover, we analyze the KBR-LRI residuals and discuss which error and noise contributors limit the residuals at high and low Fourier frequencies. It turns out that the agreement between KBR and LRI biased range observations can be slightly improved by considering intraday carrier frequency variations in the processing. Although the effect is probably small enough to have little relevance for gravity field determination at the current precision level, this analysis is of relevance for detailed instrument characterization and potentially for future more precise missions.
Room temperature dynamic correlation between methylammonium molecules in lead-iodine based perovskites: An ab-initio molecular dynamics perspective

description: The high efficiency of lead organo-metal-halide perovskite solar cells has raised many questions about the role of the methylammonium (MA) molecules in the Pb-I framework. Experiments indicate that the MA molecules are able to 'freely' spin around at room temperature even though they carry an intrinsic dipole moment. We have performed large supercell (2592 atoms) finite temperature ab-initio molecular dynamics calculations to study the correlation between the molecules in the framework. An underlying long range anti-ferroelectric ordering of the molecular dipoles is observed. The dynamical correlation between neighboring molecules shows a maximum around room temperature in the mid-temperature phase. In this phase, the rotations are slow enough to (partially) couple to neighbors via the Pb-I cage. This results in a collective motion of neighboring molecules in which the cage acts as the mediator. At lower and higher temperatures the motions are less correlated.

description: The rotating saddle not only is an interesting system that is able to trap a ball near its saddle point, but can also intuitively illustrate the operating principles of quadrupole ion traps in modern physics. Unlike the conventional models based on the mass-point approximation, we study the stability of a ball in a rotating-saddle trap using rigid-body dynamics. The stabilization condition of the system is theoretically derived and subsequently verified by experiments. The results are compared with the previous mass-point model, giving large discrepancy as the curvature of the ball is comparable to that of the saddle. We also point out that the spin angular velocity of the ball is analogous to the cyclotron frequency of ions in an external magnetic field utilized in many prevailing ion-trapping schemes.
The training of translators and interpreters in the 21st - century : at the crossroads of practice, research and pedagogy

description: The objective of the present work – undertaken as thesis by publications – is to look at the gap between practice and research in T&I Studies and at the way this gap could be bridged. In particular, the focus is the way practice and research can inform each other in the education and training of future translators and interpreters, with the aim of training future professionals both as practitioners and researchers in an educational environment that would marry both vocational and academic elements. Relations and synergies between professional T&I practice in different contexts, T&I research and T&I curriculum design in the 21st-century are investigated. An attempt is made to define the existing divide between practice and research in T&I as well as its origins, and to identify ways of crossing this divide. Suggestions are made concerning ways of undertaking research and of gaining new insights into T&I Studies from professional practice and experience, as well as designing new didactic tools for T&I education and training following different pedagogical approaches. The role of practisearchers in the field is explored and it is suggested that promoting the training of T&I students as practisearchers would help to fill the current gap between practitioners, researchers and T&I educators. The publications presented provide concrete examples of how the different facets of the field can inform each other in a cyclical manner and how to give more prominence to T&I practitioners who wish to turn their practical and professional observations into research that recognises experiential attributes. Outcomes and findings stemming from the publications are discussed in relation to the contribution of the work to the T&I research field, and recommendations on the recognition of the status of practisearchers and on the need to train T&I trainers and educators as teachers are made. Finally, practice-informed research models applied in other disciplines are presented and discussed. They represent promising approaches that should be embraced by the T&I community of practitioners who wish to see more experiential and practical knowledge turned into T&I research and training outputs.

description: We obtain the multiple-parameter quantum Cramér-Rao bound for estimating the transverse Cartesian components of the centroid and separation of two incoherent optical point sources using an imaging system with finite spatial bandwidth. Under quite general and realistic assumptions on the point-spread function of the imaging system, and for weak source strengths, we show that the Cramér-Rao bounds for the $x$ and $y$ components of the separation are independent of the values of those components, which may be well below the conventional Rayleigh resolution limit. We also propose two linear optics-based measurement methods that approach the quantum bound for the estimation of the Cartesian components of the separation once the centroid has been located. One of the methods is an interferometric scheme that approaches the quantum bound for sub-Rayleigh separations. The other method using fiber coupling can in principle attain the bound regardless of the distance between the two sources.
