The Education Of The Blind In Victorian Society
Creators: name: Koumantarakis, John P
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1985

description: The earliest ventures to offer organized education to the blind, begun in the 1870's, stemmed from humanitarian impulses, religious obligation, and a wish to create self sufficiency, so rendering the blind less 'burdensome' to the community. The subsequent efforts of Victorian charitable institutions, motivated increasingly by vocational considerations, were regarded by contemporaries as a source of both civic and national pride. The handsome neo-Gothic institutions of the 1830's stood as symbols of the power of voluntary provision to alleviate society's problems. The large sums raised by institutions and their optimistic publications fostered a parochial sense of complacency which was not disturbed by the first isolated critics in the 1850's and 1860's who pointed to quantitative deficiencies and the negative effects of confinement and deplored the shallow tuition offered. The need for change was not widely appreciated until statistics appeared in the 1870's to reinforce those criticisms and the 1870 Act helped ‘expose! the scale of the problem as more blind children were compelled to attend school. The success of Worcester College, founded in 1866 for ‘blind sons of gentlemen', changed conceptions of the educability of the blind and showed that most institutions were excessively limited in their objectives. The Charity Organization Society's 1875 'Report on The Training of The Blind' lent weight to the pleas of Thomas Armitage and Elizabeth Gilbert for state aid. A Royal Commission on the Blind and the Deaf and Dumb was appointed in 1885 and reported in 1889, Finding institutional education in Britain inefficient and inflexible it recommended sweeping changes, funded by government. Saxony's system was regarded as a successful example of blind education based on state aid. An Act of 1893 clarified responsibilities for blind children's schooling and ended ambiguities in the law on attendance. The Act applied the machinery of grants and inspection to blind schools, but the benefits of this were not evident for a further fifteen years, when changes in teacher training had an effect and institutions began to receive funds for technical instruction. In 1902, most institutional schooling still centered, unimaginatively, around the workshop, and state funds were still not being channeled to those organizations attempting to adapt to the changing needs of employers. Many of the blind were still leaving institutions, where their training had been inadequate and their cultural stimulation minimal, to drift into penury.

клиническое наблюдение развития гемофагоцитарного синдрома, осложнившего инфекционный процесс, вы-
званный вирусом Эпштейна – Барр с нехарактерным развитием клинической картины. Результаты. В связи со
сложностью верификации синдрома пациент с таким диагнозом зачастую остается без должного уровня тера-
пии, что весьма часто приводит к летальному исходу. Это указывает на необходимость своевременной диффе-
ренциальной диагностики, которая в случае подтверждения синдрома дает пациенту шанс на выздоровление.
description: The aim of the study is to describe a clinical case of a hemophagocytic syndrome associated with the Epstein-
Barr virus infection in view of clinical-radiological symptomatology. Material and methods. Presents a clinical
observation of the development of haemophagocytic syndrome, which complicated the infectious process
caused by the Epstein-Barr virus with an unusual development of the clinical picture. Results. Due to the complexity
of verifying the syndrome, a patient with such a diagnosis often remains without the proper level of therapy,
which very often leads to death. This indicates the need for a timely differential diagnostics, which, if the syndrome
is confirmed, gives the patient a chance for recovery.

description: The need for trustworthy research repositories has become crucial because project results should live beyond the projects’ lifecycle. During the HORIZON-EIC project, entitled Mimicking Adaptation and Plasticity in WORMS (MAPWORMS), bio-inspired robots of marine Annelida will be created by the combination of different data types. The creation of a Data Management Plan (DMP) was essential for the adoption of the FAIR principles by these multidisciplinary project data. Micro-CT data will be used by the MAPWORMS project to describe the morphological and anatomical characteristics of annelids. The FAIRification of the micro-CT data is challenging due to lack of standardized practices. This study aims to apply the FAIR principles to the micro-CT MAPWORMS data through Micro-CTvlab; a web based virtual laboratory for micro-CT data.

description: Subsurface characterization is an interdisciplinary and multidimensional problem requiring contribution from numerous geoscientific and technical domains. In order to optimize and automate the process of subsurface characterization and structural modeling we developed a modular, open-source software system called GeoReVi (Geological Reservoir Virtualization). The tool implements the knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) process and utilizes techniques from visual analytics for interactive, interdisciplinary, database-bound knowledge discovery and communication. Multidimensional data sets – produced in subsurface and outcrop analog studies – can be imported, shared, transformed, projected, analyzed, modeled, grouped and visualized interactively in a custom-made graphical user interface. The underlying data model facilitates domain experts to efficiently work in multi-user environments. The knowledge discovery potential is illustrated with an exemplary case study.

description: We report the first experimental observation of a characteristic nonlinear threshold behavior from dc dynamical response as an evidence for a Wigner crystallization in high-purity GaAs 2D hole systems in zero magnetic field. The system under increasing current drive exhibits voltage oscillations with negative differential resistance. They confirm the coexistence of a moving crystal along with striped edge states as observed for electrons on helium surfaces. However, the threshold is well below the typical classical levels due to a different pinning and depinning mechanism that is possibly related to a quantum process.
Locating the gamma-ray emission region of the flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1510-089

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: I present a study of the high-energy gamma-ray properties of the flat spectrum radio quasar, PKS 1510-089, based on 3.75 years of observations with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) detector on-board the Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope. Throughout the observing period, the 0.1 GeV < E < 300 GeV gamma-ray flux was highly variable, undergoing several flaring events where the daily flux exceeded 10^{-5} photons cm^{-2} s^{-1} on 3 separate occasions. The increased photon statistics of these large flares allowed the observations to be re-analysed in 6 and 3 hour intervals, revealing flux doubling timescales as small as 1.3\pm0.12 hours during the flare rise time, and flux halving timescales of 1.21\pm0.15 hours during the flare decay. These are the smallest variability timescales measured to date at MeV-GeV energies for the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar class of Active Galactic Nuclei. The >10^{-5} photons cm^{-2} s^{-1} flare events were also studied in more detail in an attempt to uncover evidence for the location of PKS 1510-089's gamma-ray emission region. In particular, two approaches were used: (i) searching for an energy dependence to the cooling timescales, and (ii) searching for evidence of a spectral cut-off. Furthermore, an analysis of the highest photon events within the 3.75 year data set finds PKS 1510-089 to be a source of >20 GeV gamma-rays at the 13.5σconfidence level; a observational property which is difficult to explain in the traditional view that gamma-ray emission from Active Galactic Nuclei originates from the base of the relativistic jet. The combined results of these two approaches, along with the confirmation of >20 GeV photon flux from PKS 1510-089, suggest the presence of multiple gamma-ray emission regions being located in both the broad line region and molecular torus region of PKS 1510-089.

description: We define the concept of energy-variational solutions for the Ericksen–Leslie equations in three spatial dimensions. This solution concept is finer than dissipative solutions and satisfies the weak-strong uniqueness property. For a certain choice of the regularity weight, the existence of energy-variational solutions implies the existence of measure-valued solutions and for a different choice, we construct an energy-variational solution with the help of an implementable, structure-inheriting space-time discretization. Computational studies are performed in order to provide some evidence of the applicability of the proposed algorithm

description: A measurement of the t t-bar production cross section in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 inverse femtobarns collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. Selected events are required to have one isolated, high transverse momentum electron or muon, large missing transverse energy, and hadronic jets, at least one of which must be consistent with having originated from a b quark. The measured cross section is 158.1 +/- 2.1 (stat.) +/- 10.2 (syst.) +/- 3.5 (lum.) pb, in agreement with standard model predictions.

description: The most recent LHC data have provided a considerable improvement in the precision with which various Higgs production and decay channels have been measured. Using all available public results from ATLAS, CMS and the Tevatron, we derive for each final state the combined confidence level contours for the signal strengths in the (gluon fusion + ttH associated production) versus (vector boson fusion + VH associated production) space. These "combined signal strength ellipses" can be used in a simple, generic way to constrain a very wide class of New Physics models in which the couplings of the Higgs boson deviate from the Standard Model prediction. Here, we use them to constrain the reduced couplings of the Higgs boson to up-quarks, down-quarks/leptons and vector boson pairs. We also consider New Physics contributions to the loop-induced gluon-gluon and photon-photon couplings of the Higgs, as well as invisible/unseen decays. Finally, we apply our fits to some simple models with an extended Higgs sector, in particular to Two-Higgs-Doublet models of Type I and Type II, the Inert Doublet model, and the Georgi-Machacek triplet Higgs model.

description: The effects of gluon radiation by charm quarks on the transport coefficients {\it e.g.} drag, longitudinal and transverse diffusion and shear viscosity have been studied within the ambit of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) and kinetic theory. We found that while the soft gluon radiation has substantial effects on the transport coefficients of the charm quarks in the quark gluon plasma its effects on the equilibrium distribution function is insignificant.

Mitigating Timing Side Channel in Shared Schedulers

description: In this work, we study information leakage in timing side channels that arise in the context of shared event schedulers. Consider two processes, one of them an innocuous process (referred to as Alice) and the other a malicious one (referred to as Bob), using a common scheduler to process their jobs. Based on when his jobs get processed, Bob wishes to learn about the pattern (size and timing) of jobs of Alice. Depending on the context, knowledge of this pattern could have serious implications on Alice's privacy and security. For instance, shared routers can reveal traffic patterns, shared memory access can reveal cloud usage patterns, and suchlike. We present a formal framework to study the information leakage in shared resource schedulers using the pattern estimation error as a performance metric. The first-come-first-serve (FCFS) scheduling policy and time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) are identified as two extreme policies on the privacy metric, FCFS has the least, and TDMA has the highest. However, on performance based metrics, such as throughput and delay, it is well known that FCFS significantly outperforms TDMA. We then derive two parametrized policies, accumulate and serve, and proportional TDMA, which take two different approaches to offer a tunable trade-off between privacy and performance.

description: In previous work we have developed a formulation of quantum mechanics in non-inertial reference frames. This formulation is grounded in a class of unitary cocycle representations of what we have called the Galilean line group, the generalization of the Galilei group that includes transformations amongst non-inertial reference frames. These representations show that in quantum mechanics, just as is the case in classical mechanics, the transformations to accelerating reference frames give rise to fictitious forces. A special feature of these previously constructed representations is that they all respect the non-relativistic equivalence principle, wherein the fictitious forces associated with linear acceleration can equivalently be described by gravitational forces. In this paper we exhibit a large class of cocycle representations of the Galilean line group that violate the equivalence principle. Nevertheless the classical mechanics analogue of these cocycle representations all respect the equivalence principle.

description: Physics beyond the standard model (SM) can be parameterized with an effective Lagrangian that respects the symmetries of the standard model and contains many operators of dimension six. We consider the subset of these operators that is responsible for flavor diagonal anomalous color magnetic (CMDM) and electric (CEDM) dipole couplings between quarks and gluons. Invariance of these operators under the SM implies that they contribute to Higgs boson production at the LHC and we study the corresponding constraints that can be placed on them. For the case of the top-quark we first review constraints from top-quark pair production and decay, and then compare them to what can be achieved by studying $t\bar{t}h$ production. We also constrain the corresponding couplings for $b$-quarks and light quarks by studying $pp \to b\bar{b}h$ and $pp \to hX$ respectively.

description: Community radio is an effective and tested way to build meaningful community capacity, given that it prioritises a deep sense of social trust, belonging, social interaction, and community cohesion, which in turn fosters positive personal, group and social identities. Community radio is an ideal chan-nel for the engagement of people and communities that are typically marginalised in contemporary society, and who are frequently invisible in mainstream media. This includes people and households whose first languages are not favoured by public bodies; people who continue to experience struc-tural racism; people who are physically disabled, cognitively divergent or mentally debilitated; peo-ple who are economically insecure and who can rely on only limited employment protection and workplace rights; people who are homeless or face insecure housing circumstances; people who are adversely affected by alcohol or drug abuse, and so on. While mainstream commercial media focus-ses on consumer who meet the economic requirements of the market, community radio typically operates outside of this domain, and seeks to develop social capacity for regenerative sustainability by recognising the social value of community-focussed communication in the form of media engagement.

description: We show that Majorana fermions associated with Majorana flat bands emerge as zero energy modes on the [110] edge of single layer or multilayer nodal superconductors with $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave pairing and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Moreover, as long as the global inversion symmetry of the single layer or multilayer superconductor is broken, and in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field parallel to the [110] edge, the Majorana fermions together with usual fermionic Andreev bound states induce a triple-peak structure in tunnelling spectroscopy experiments. Importantly, we show that the zero bias conductance peak is induced by Majorana fermions. Therefore, tunnelling spectroscopy can be used to probe Majorana fermions in nodal $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductors.

description: The entropic effects of anchored polymers on biomembranes are studied using simulations of a meshless membrane model combined with anchored linear polymer chains. The bending rigidity and spontaneous curvature are investigated for anchored ideal and excluded-volume polymer chains. Our results are in good agreement with the previous theoretical predictions. It is found that the polymer reduces the line tension of membrane edges, as well as the interfacial line tension between membrane domains, leading to microdomain formation. Instead of the mixing of two phases as observed in typical binary fluids, densely anchored polymers stabilize small domains. A mean field theory is proposed for the edge line tension reduced by anchored ideal chains, which reproduces our simulation results well.

Industrial Restructuring And Women's Employment: The Case Of The Food Industry In Inter-War Britain
Creators: name: Mikoleit, Gabriele
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1986

description: This thesis examines in a detailed historical investigation the types of work which were assigned to women workers in the food-processing industry during the inter-war period. This includes an investigation of the impact of mass production methods on sexual divisions in the industry. The main focus is on the interrelationship between changes in the technical division of labour and changes in the sexual division of labour in a period of capital restructuring. Chapter one investigates factors which contributed to the growth of the food-processing industry during this period. Chapter two analyses changes in the industrial structure of the food-processing industry. The impact of mechanization through the introduction of assembly line is of special concern. A detailed examination of mechanization in different branches of the food processing industry is the subject of chapter three. Changes in women's employment in the food-processing industry are investigated in chapter four. This includes an analysis of their industrial and occupational distribution and of sexual divisions in the industry. In chapter five the impact of industrial restructuring on the skill structure of the labour force is analysed. In chapter six the link between both changes in the technical division of labour and changes in the sexual division of labour is discussed in the light of several explanatory models. These include labour market segmentation theory, labour process theory and recent feminist theories.

description: This is the fourth in a series of papers on developing a formulation of quantum mechanics in non-inertial reference frames. This formulation is grounded in a class of unitary cocycle representations of what we have called the Galilean line group, the generalization of the Galilei group to include transformations amongst non-inertial reference frames. These representations show that in quantum mechanics, just as the case in classical mechanics, the transformations to accelerating reference frames give rise to fictitious forces. In previous work, we have shown that there exist representations of the Galilean line group that uphold the non-relativistic equivalence principle as well as representations that violate the equivalence principle. In these previous studies, the focus was on linear accelerations. In this paper, we undertake an extension of the formulation to include rotational accelarations. We show that the incorporation of rotational accelerations requires a class of \emph{loop prolongations} of the Galilean line group and their unitary cocycle representations. We recover the centrifugal and Coriolis force effects from these loop representations. Loops are more general than groups in that their multiplication law need not be associative. Hence, our broad theoretical claim is that a Galilean quantum theory that holds in arbitrary non-inertial reference frames requires going beyond groups and group representations, the well-stablished framework for implementing symmetry transformations in quantum mechanics.

description: The experimental observation of the long-sought quantum anomalous Hall effect was recently reported in magnetically doped topological insulator thin films [Chang et al., Science 340, 167 (2013)]. An intriguing observation is a rapid decrease from the quantized plateau in the Hall conductance, accompanied by a peak in the longitudinal conductance as a function of the gate voltage. Here, we present a quantum transport theory with an effective model for magnetic topological insulator thin films. The good agreement between theory and experiment reveals that the measured transport originates from a topologically nontrivial conduction band which, near its band edge, has concentrated Berry curvature and a local maximum in group velocity. The indispensable roles of the broken structure inversion and particle-hole symmetries are also revealed. The results are instructive for future experiments and transport studies based on first-principles calculations.

description: Many regenerative arguments in stochastic processes use random times which are akin to stopping times, but which are determined by the future as well as the past behaviour of the process of interest. Such arguments based on "conditioning on the future" are usually developed in an ad-hoc way in the context of the application under consideration, thereby obscuring underlying structure. In this paper we give a simple, unified and more general treatment of such conditioning theory. We further give a number of novel applications to various particle system models, in particular to various flavours of contact processes and to infinite-bin models. We give a number of new results for existing and new models. We further make connections with the theory of Harris ergodicity.

description: PONERA JOHANNAE, nov. spec.
[Pl. V, fig. 11].
Longueur 2,5 à 2,7 mill. Voisine de la P. contracta dont elle se distingue à la première vue par sa couleur claire et par l'échancrure du thorax entre le mésonotum et le métanotum.
Le bord terminal des mandibules n'est pas beaucoup plus long que leur bord interne (beaucoup plus long chez la P. contracta; il a trois à quatre dents distinctes sur sa moitié antérieure et quatre à six denticulations irrégulières derrière. Mandibules lisses, très luisantes, avec une ponctuation espacée microscopique. Tête rectangulaire. Epistome convexe, sans carène, abord antérieur non avancé.
Sillon frontal distinct, prolongé en arrière jusque vers l'occiput. Yeux rudinientaires, composés de deux ou trois facettes et situés près du bord antérieur de la tête. Antennes fortement clavées, à massue encore plus épaisse que chez la P. contracta. Thorax plus court que chez la P. contracta et plus distinctement voûté d'avant en arrière. Suture pro-mésonotale très fortement imprimée. Un étranglement très marqué entre le mésonotum et le métanotum. La face basale du métanotum est plus courte et en tout sens plus convexe que chez la P. contracta; elle passe insensiblement à la face déclive par une courbe très arrondie. La face déclive, qui, chez les P. contracta, distinguenda, punctatissima, opaciceps, trigona, luteipes, sennaarensis, etc., est plus ou moins subbordée, subconcave et élargie (surtout vers le bas), ne l'est absolument pas chez notre espèce. Ecaille fort épaisse, plus basse que chez la P. contracta, arrondie de partout, seulement subtronquée sur ses deux faces. Sa largeur est à peine double de son épaisseur. Sous le pédicule, un lobe longitudinal arrondi, plus déve- loppé devant que derrière, sans dent. Abdomen fortement rétréci après son premier segment qui est plus étroit que le second.
Lisse et luisante avec une ponctuation espacée assez abondante sur la tête, sur les pattes et sur l'abdomen, mais extrêmement fine; sur le thorax, l'épistome et l'écaillé, elle est très faible, çà et là presque obsolète.
Une pubescence jaunâtre, oblique (soulevée) est assez abondamment répandue sur tout le corps, sur les pattes et sur les antennes, sans toutefois cacher la ponctuation. 11 n'y a guère de poils dressés que sur le devant de la tête et vers l'extrémité de l'abdomen.
D'un jaune testacé plus ou moins roussâtre ou brunâtre avec le dessus de l'abdomen et parfois le dessus de la tête un peu plus foncés.

description: Considered in this paper the Maxwell-Bloch (MB) equations became known after Lamb [1-4]. In [5] Ablowitz, Kaup and Newell proposed the inverse scattering transform (IST) to the Maxwell-Bloch equations for studying a physical phenomenon known as the self-induced transparency. A description of general solutions to the MB equations and their classification was done in [6] by Gabitov, Zakharov and Mikhailov. In particular, they gave an approximate solution of the mixed problem to the MB equations in the domain $x,t\in(0,L)\times (0,\infty)$ and, on this bases, a description of the phenomenon of superfluorescence. It was emphasized in [6] that the IST method is non-adopted for the mixed problem. Authors of the mentioned papers have developed the IST method in the form of the Marchenko integral equations. We propose another approach for solving the mixed problem to the MB equations in the quarter plane. We use matrix Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problems and simultaneous spectral analysis of the both Lax operators. First, we introduce appropriate compatible solutions of the corresponding Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur (AKNS) equations and then we suggest such a matrix RH problem which corresponds to the mixed problem for MB equations. Second, we generalize this matrix RH problem, prove a unique solvability of the new RH problem and show that the RH problem (after a specialization of jump matrix) generates the MB equations. As a result we obtain solutions defined on the whole line and studied in [5] and [6], solutions to the mixed problem studied below in this paper and solutions with a periodic (finite-gap) boundary conditions. The kind of solution is defined by the specialization of conjugation contour and jump matrix.

description: We investigate a simplified model of two fully connected magnetic systems maintained at different temperatures by virtue of being connected to two independent thermal baths while simultaneously being inter-connected with each other. Using generating functional analysis, commonly used in statistical mechanics, we find exactly soluble expressions for their individual magnetisations that define a two-dimensional non-linear map, the equations of which have the same form as those obtained for densely connected equilibrium systems. Steady states correspond to the fixed points of this map, separating the parameter space into a rich set of non-equilibrium phases that we analyse in asymptotically high and low (non-equilibrium) temperature limits. The theoretical formalism is shown to subvert to the classical non-equilibrium steady state problem for two interacting systems with a non-zero heat transfer between them that catalyses a phase transition between ambient non-equilibrium states.

Does cosmological expansion affect local physics?

description: In this contribution I wish to address the question whether, and how, the global cosmological expansion influences local physics. I argue that a pseudo Newtonian picture can be quite accurate if "expansion" is taken to be an attribute of the inertial structure rather than of "space" in some substantivalist sense. This contradicts the often-heard suggestion to imagine cosmological expansion as that of "space itself". Regarding General Relativity, I emphasise the need for proper geometric characterisations in order to meaningfully compare localised systems in different spacetimes, like black holes in static and expanding environments. Examples of this sort are discussed in some detail to clearly map out the problems.

description: Predicting the response of a specific cancer to a therapy is a major goal in modern oncology that should ultimately lead to a personalised treatment. High-throughput screenings of potentially active compounds against a panel of genomically heterogeneous cancer cell lines have unveiled multiple relationships between genomic alterations and drug responses. Various computational approaches have been proposed to predict sensitivity based on genomic features, while others have used the chemical properties of the drugs to ascertain their effect. In an effort to integrate these complementary approaches, we developed machine learning models to predict the response of cancer cell lines to drug treatment, quantified through IC50 values, based on both the genomic features of the cell lines and the chemical properties of the considered drugs. Models predicted IC50 values in a 8-fold cross-validation and an independent blind test with coefficient of determination R2 of 0.72 and 0.64 respectively. Furthermore, models were able to predict with comparable accuracy (R2 of 0.61) IC50s of cell lines from a tissue not used in the training stage. Our in silico models can be used to optimise the experimental design of drug-cell screenings by estimating a large proportion of missing IC50 values rather than experimentally measure them. The implications of our results go beyond virtual drug screening design: potentially thousands of drugs could be probed in silico to systematically test their potential efficacy as anti-tumour agents based on their structure, thus providing a computational framework to identify new drug repositioning opportunities as well as ultimately be useful for personalized medicine by linking the genomic traits of patients to drug sensitivity.
