description: Defect models capture faults and methods to provoke failures. To integrate such defect models into existing quality assurance processes, we developed a defect model lifecycle framework, in which the elicitation and classification of context-specific defects forms a crucial step. Although we could gather first insights from its practical application, we still have little knowledge about its benefits and limitations. We aim at qualitatively analyzing the context-specific elicitation and classification of defects to explore the suitability of our approach for practical application. We apply case study research in multiple contexts and analyze (1) what kind of defects we can elicit and the degree to which the defects matter to a context only, (2) the extent to which it leads to results useful enough for describing and operationalizing defect models, and (3) if there is a perceived additional immediate benefit from a practitioner's perspective. Our results strengthen our confidence on the suitability of our approach to elicit defects that are context-specific as well as context-independent. We conclude so far that our approach is suitable to provide a blueprint on how to elicit and classify defects for specific contexts to be used for the improvement of quality assurance techniques.
title: The 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States and the United Kingdom : the legality of their claims in international law, their responsibility under international law, and the co-responsibility of Kuwait and other Gulf States under Islamic international law

description: This thesis focuses upon the recent invasion of Iraq by the US and its few allies. While the central question is concerned with the legality of this war, the original aspect o f the thesis lies in its detailed consideration of alternative peaceful dispute resolution mechanisms to be found in international law and Islamic international law, which could have obviated the need for war. The central argument of this thesis is that the history of non-violent dispute resolution methods, together with the proscription in the United Nations’ Charter of the use of force, should have dictated a different approach to the perceived problem of Saddam Hussein’s regime. The significance of the events leading to war and the subsequent occupation suggest that either international law is currently being flouted or that the “unipolar” world must adjust to a new international legal reality. While much attention has been paid by international lawyers and scholars to alleged breaches of the UN Charter by the invaders, much less attention has been devoted to the legality of the role of Kuwait and other Gulf states in this crisis in accordance with Islamic international law. Against this background, the question of whether Kuwait and other Gulf states violated the provisions of contemporary international law; the UN Charter and Islamic international law becomes extremely important. This thesis shows that the obligation to settle international disputes peacefully is compatible with the prohibition on the use of force, and can be considered one o f the fundamental principles of Islamic international law predating the First Hague Convention of 1899 and the rise of modem international law. However, the end of the Cold War era shows how the US-UK violated these principles. The thesis further shows how the legality o f the Iraq invasion can be examined in the light o f two international legal principles: the peaceful settlement of international disputes and the prohibition on the use of force to resolve international disputes. The basic premise of this thesis is that Islamic international law is consistent with the UN law on control of the use of force. The thesis concludes that Shari ’ah (Islamic law) is a comprehensive legal and ethical system. Muslims are obliged, as a matter of faith, to conduct their national and international affairs in accordance with the principles of Islam.

description: Modern information systems must respect certain restrictions in order to guarantee the proper and desired functionality. Semantic constraints help to prevent inconsistencies in the stored data resulting from faulty updates. Security constraints are to maintain integrity, secrecy and availability over updates and over queries. This thesis designs a unifying framework for the specification of semantic constraints and security constraints in information systems in order to study interactions between them. We consider an information system as a distributed, reactive system in which each actor and each object acts autonomously and concurrently. Actors gain knowledge by performing read operations on objects and they may update the content of an object by performing update operations. To execute read or update operations, actors need execute rights that can be granted or revoked by other actors.This view of an information system is captured in a computational model.In this model, we consider each component of the information system, actors as well as objects, uniformly as a sequential agent that performs operations autonomously and jointly with other sequential agents. Each agent is alliated with a set of local propositions and a set of local operations as well as with relations that capture the agent's knowledge and belief. An agent's knowledge is determined completely by its local state. Change in knowledge of an agent is due to operations performed by the agent. Interaction between knowledge and operations is captured by the requirement that the enabling and the effect of an operation is completely determined by the knowledge of the acting agents. Knowledge of agents can be changed only byoperations in which they participate. We define a temporal and epistemic specification language with temporaland epistemic operators. The logic provides for each agent local next and until operators as temporal operators and local knowledge and belief operators as epistemic operators. We develop a modal tableau based proof system for a subset of the logic and show its soundness. Completeness can be shown only for a smaller, but still reasonable subset of the logic, decidability remains an open question. The main diffculty of the tableau system arises from the interaction requirement between knowledge and action.In a detailed example we demonstrate how the framework can be used for specifying semantic constraints and security constraints in information systems.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden verschiedene Tamdemhydroformylierungsreaktionen von ortho-Alkenylphenolen beschrieben. Mit diesen rhodiumkatalysierten Umsetzungen sind sowohl benzoanellierte Sauerstoff-Heterocylcen durch eine Tandem-Hydroformylierung-Hemiacetalisierung als auch Aminoalkylphenole durch eine Hydroaminomethylierung darstellbar. Als Modellsubstrate werden o-Allylphenole und o-Vinylphenole untersucht, mit denen Strukturelemente wichtiger Natur- und Wirkstoffe dargestellt werden können. So wird die Synthese substituierter Benzopyrane, Benzofurane und Benzoxepine beschrieben. Bei diesen Umsetzungen wird ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Entwicklung und Anwendung verschiedener Methoden zur Kontrolle der Regioselektivität gelegt. Analog können die gleichen ungesättigten Alkohole zu Butyl- und Propylaminophenolen umgesetzt werden. Bei diesen Umsetzungen müssen aber zusätzlich Probleme bei der Kontrolle der Chemoselektivität der Hydroaminomethylierung gelöst werden.Die Anwendbarkeit der vorgestellten Reaktionen und Methoden wird an ausgewählten Modelluntersuchungen zur Synthese pharmakologisch aktiver Verbindungen aufgezeigt, so bei der regioselektiven Synthese von 4,4-Diarylbutylaminen, bei der Synthese des Harninkontinenzmittels Tolterodin sowie bei der Synthese verschiedener Tetrahydrofuro[2,3b]benzofurane.
description: In this work various tandem hydroformylation reactions are described. With these rhodium catalysed transformations are both benzanellated oxygen-heterocycles via a tandem hydroformylation / hemiacetalisation and aminoalkylphenols via hydroaminomethylation accessible. As model substrates are o-allylic phenols and o-vinylic phenols used, which enable the preparation of structural elements of important natural products and agents. Thus the synthesis of substituted benzopyrans, benzofurans and benzoxepins is described. The attention is turned to the development and application of various methods for controlling the regioselectivity of these reactions. Analogously the same unsaturated alcohols can be transformed to butyl and propyl amino phenols. However additional problems of controlling the chemoselectivity of the hydroaminomethylation must be solved.The applicability of the reactions and methods presented is demonstrated at selected model investigations towards the synthesis of pharmacological active compounds, such as the regioselective synthesis of 4,4-diarylbutylamines, the synthesis of tolterodine, an active substance against urinary incontinence or the synthesis of different tetrahydrofuro[2,3b]benzofurans.

Evaluating beyond the metrics: understanding the value of participatory arts through plurality of voice
Creators: name: Nilles, Kristina
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the potentialities of holistic and participant-centric approaches to evaluating the social impact of participatory arts programmes. The current framing of the social impact of the arts is problematised through exploration of existing discourse, before interrogating principles and methods from ethnographic and reflexive research, drawing upon Freirean pedagogy and constructivist approaches to knowledge generation. I consider how the binary of top-down instrumentalised evaluation frameworks and bottom-up approaches can be disrupted, to build a stronger knowledge base of social impact of participatory arts engagement. Through a critical case study of Lyric Hammersmith Theatre’s work with young people, with a focus on its START programme for participants not in education, employment or training, this thesis invites participants to be the knowledge holders and changemakers of their lives. Through the exploration of pluralistic experience and emerging outcomes, I move towards defining impact, and placing ownership of change with participants, as a result of participation. My research contributes to the current discourse on the evidence base and value of participation in the arts and to emerging evaluation methodologies. The findings which emerge through this research, humanise and celebrate both the individual and collective experience. Finally, this thesis proposes a new conceptual framework for evaluating the impact of participatory arts programmes and understanding change, underpinned by friendship, with-ness, and hope.

title: Complementary RFID tag antennas

Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is mainly concerned with the investigation of a systematic approach to selecting tag antennas whose electromagnetic properties are compatible with the platforms on which they are supported and the immediate environment in which they are to be operated. The work is divided into three parts. The first two explore the design and optimisation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag antennas: firstly, in this section, behaviour of an electric dipole is explored. Secondly, a novel dual band Slot Patch Antenna (SPA) antenna is designed and developed, which employs various resonant slots to perturb the tuning and impedance of a conventional slotline. The third investigates its operation within a roll cage. Complementary dipole and Slot Patch Antennas (SPA) are investigated to obtain a range of options on antenna configurations that, at certain selected frequency bands, give optimum interaction with the antenna support material. This requires that the regions of Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) and free space dielectric substrate in both antennas be interchanged. The antennas are truncated of the otherwise infinite perfect electric conductor and dielectric substrate. The radar cross sections (RCS) are predicted under various load conditions and orientations when the models are illuminated with plane wave. The convergence of this method has been found to depend on the load conditions and the substrate thickness and permittivity. The RCS at boresight is found to depend on the radiating elements. The effects of various possible mounting platforms are predicted. The feasibility of reading tags through wire meshes such as those on a roll cage is investigated. The cages, of various mesh sizes, exhibit transmission responses characterised by frequency spacing of approximately half the first resonant frequency. The insertion loss is found to decrease with increasing mesh size. Also, the standing waves inside the cage exhibit nulls whose voltage standing wave ratio (v.s.w.r.) decreases with increasing mesh sizes. The distance, or range, over which the tag surveillance operates, is approximated in proportion to the amplitude of the standing wave at the position of the tag with peaks and nulls occurring at every half wavelength. The effects on the read range of either electromagnetic absorber or scatterer packing the space with the roll cage are also investigated.

description: This study investigated the implementation of home visitation for pupils at risk of dropping out in five elementary schools in Baguio City, Philippines. A total of 82 teachers took part in the study, recruited from Districts 1-4. The research design was a Descriptive Survey, and data were collected through questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to interpret the data, supplemented by inferential statistics. The findings revealed a significant improvement in learners' behavior after implementing home visitation programs. The study found that home visitation was effective in addressing and improving learners' misbehaviors in class. By providing support and guidance directly to the learners' homes, educators were able to intervene early and effectively in addressing behavioral issues. At the start of the study, researchers identified common difficulties in learners' behaviors, which were prevalent among the pupils. These difficulties served as a baseline for monitoring improvements throughout the study. The continuous monitoring and evaluation of learners' performance enabled teachers to apply varied techniques to help them improve their behavioral and moral abilities in school. This proactive approach allowed for prompt intervention and support. Daily remedial instruction and proper guidance were found to be instrumental in making learners feel valued and important. This approach not only built proper attitudes but also provided desirable experiences that made learning meaningful for the students. This research suggests that home visitation, combined with continuous monitoring and evaluation, can significantly improve learners' behavior and enhance their overall educational experience.

Die derzeitige Standardmethode zur ESR Markierung von Proteinen ist das site directed spin labeling (SDSL). In dieser Arbeit wurde eine Alternative zum SDSL entwickelt. Als Methode zur Markierung wurde eine Kombination aus Festphasensynthese von Peptide und chemischer Ligation (NCL & EPL) verwendet. Der notwendig kompatible ESR Marker wurde entwickelt und in guten Ausbeuten synthetisiert. Der ESR Marker konnte in Peptide eingebracht und in den biologischen Systemen RBD/Ras und HtrII/SRII verwendet werden.

The standard method for EPR labeling of proteins is site directed spin labeling (SDSL). An alternative for SDSL is shown here. The methods of choice for labeling of peptides are solid phase peptide synthesis and chemical ligation methods (NCL & EPL). A compatible EPR probe was synthesized in good yields. The EPR label was incorporated in peptides and the biological systems RBD/Ras and HtrII/SRII.
Distinguishability notion based on Wootters statistical distance: application to discrete maps

description: We study the distinguishability notion given by Wootters for states represented by probability density functions. This presents the particularity that it can also be used for defining a distance in chaotic unidimensional maps. Based on that definition, we provide a metric $\overline{d}$ for an arbitrary discrete map. Moreover, from this we associate a metric space to each invariant density of a given map, which results to be the set of all distinguished points when the number of iterations of the map tends to infinity. Also, we give a characterization of the wandering set of a map in terms of the given metric which allows to identify the dissipative regions in the phase space. We illustrate the results in the case of the logistic and the circle maps numerically and theoretically, and we obtain the metric and the wandering set for some characteristic values of their parameters.

description: Die Diskrepanz zwischen Akkomodation und Konvergenz beim Betrachten von Stereo-3D-Inhalten führt bei vielen Menschen zu Kopfschmerzen und weiteren Symptomen der Erschöpfung des visuellen Systems. In der Stereo-3D-Produktion werden verschiedene Maßnahmen ergriffen, diesen Effekt möglichst gering zu halten. Dies führt jedoch nicht immer zum gewünschten Erfolg oder bringt Nachteile mit sich. In diesem Dokument wird daher ein Verfahren vorgeschlagen und untersucht, welches den Konflikt zwischen Akkomodation und Konvergenz in eine andere Domäne transformiert und die Diskrepanz auf diesem Wege eliminiert. Das Verfahren funktioniert in der Art, dass die Konvergenzebene immer zu der Tiefe des momentan betrachteten virtuellen Objekts verschoben wird. Dabei ist die Konvergenzebene die virtuelle Tiefenebene, die keine Disparität hat. Das Verfahren basiert auf Blickpunktdetektion und Signalverarbeitung in Kombination mit Disparitätskarten. Dieser Artikel beschreibt die ersten Schritte in diesem Projekt.

description: Indeterminate type of Manospondylus gigas Cope 1892.1 The genotype (Amer. Mus. Cope Coll. 3982) of Manospondylus originally consisted of two dorsal vertebrae, which Cope recorded verbally to Hatcher2 as from South Dakota. Of these original two dorsal vertebrae one was figured by Hatcher ( op. cit. p. 114, fig. 105) and correctly referred to the Theropoda. Unfortunately the remaining vertebra has been misplaced in or lost from the American Museum collections. It most nearly resembles in size and other characters the posterior cervical or first dorsal of Tyrannosaurus rex (Amer. Mus. 5866). The comparison with the measurements given by Cope is as follows: 1 Cope, E. D. “ Fourth Note on the Dinosauria of the Laramie. ’’ Amer. Naturalist, Vol. XXVI, Sept. 1892, pp. 756 - 758 ( p. 757 ). 2 Hatcher, John B. ( with O. C. Marsh and R. S. Lull ) “ The Ceratopsia. ”  Monogr. U. S. Geol .. Sum., Vol. XLIX, 1907. This type is so incomplete and so imperfectly preserved that the genus and species which were founded upon it are regarded as indeterminate.

description: Living cells use readout molecules to record the state of receptor proteins, similar to measurements or copies in typical computational devices. But is this analogy rigorous? Can cells be optimally efficient, and if not, why? We show that, as in computation, a canonical biochemical readout network generates correlations; extracting no work from these correlations sets a lower bound on dissipation. For general input, the biochemical network cannot reach this bound, even with arbitrarily slow reactions or weak thermodynamic driving. It faces an accuracy-dissipation trade-off that is qualitatively distinct from and worse than implied by the bound, and more complex steady-state copy processes cannot perform better. Nonetheless, the cost remains close to the thermodynamic bound unless accuracy is extremely high. Additionally, we show that biomolecular reactions could be used in thermodynamically optimal devices under exogenous manipulation of chemical fuels, suggesting an experimental system for testing computational thermodynamics.

description: Background: Nighttime entertainment districts attract many people who pre-load with alcohol and other substances before entering licensed venues. Despite the harms and dangers associated with both alcohol pre-loading and drug use respectively, there is a paucity of research on drug and polysubstance pre-loading. Objectives: The primary objectives of this scoping review are to systematically map out the body of existing literature on drug and polysubstance pre-loading, discuss methodological potentials and pitfalls in field-based research, identify gaps in knowledge, and derive practical implications and opportunities for future research. Methods: Using the PRISMA (ScR) guidelines, we conducted a search of Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Social Services Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, and Web of Science databases. We followed this up by conducting an author and citation analysis of relevant articles. Results: Of the 632 data sources identified, 338 articles were reviewed after removing duplicates. Overall, only nine articles were included and thematically analyzed. In our review and analysis of the literature, we find people who drug pre-load to be a particularly vulnerable subset of the population. We also posit that the point-of-entry design has greater sensitivity than the commonly used portal-in design. From this, we also draw attention to various time points where field-based researchers can provide intervention. Conclusions: Given the high prevalence of young adults engaging in the behavior, clinicians should consider pre-loading behaviors when assessing for risk and vulnerability. Field-based research would elucidate the full breadth and scope of the growing pre-loading phenomenon and the dangers associated with this practice.

description: Moiré patterns are common in Van der Waals heterostructures and can be used to apply periodic potentials to elementary excitations. We show that the optical absorption spectrum of transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers is profoundly altered by long period moiré patterns that introduce twist-angle dependent satellite excitonic peaks. Topological exciton bands with non-zero Chern numbers that support chiral excitonic edge states can be engineered by combining three ingredients: i) the valley Berry phase induced by electron-hole exchange interactions, ii) the moiré potential, and iii) the valley Zeeman field.

description: Background: Efforts to increase the availability of Medication Assisted Treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD) may be futile if patients lack motivation for recovery and are unwilling to seek treatment. Objectives: In this cross-sectional, online survey, we used the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) to assess how participants at risk of AUD or OUD react to their perceived threat and assess their response to pharmacotherapy as a potential treatment. EPPM constructs were assessed using the Risk Based Diagnosis Scale. Descriptive statistics measure the proportion of treated vs untreated participants. Untreated participants were sorted into one of three groups categorizing perceived threat – low threat appraisal, and danger or fear control. Results: Of 411 total responses, most (n = 293[71.29%]) sorted into the AUD cohort and 118(28.71%) into the OUD cohort. Overall, 104(25.30%) had received treatment and 307(74.70%) didn’t. Within the OUD cohort, there were 67 untreated participants − 16(23.88%) exhibited low threat appraisal, 13(19.40%) were likely to undergo fear control, and 38(56.72%) were likely to undergo danger control. Within the AUD cohort, there were 240 untreated participants − 75(31.25%) exhibited low threat appraisal, 100(41.67%) were likely to experience fear control, and 65(27.08%) were likely to experience danger control. Participants in the OUD cohort were more likely to undergo danger control than those in the AUD cohort (χ2 = 19.26, p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study identified perceived threat and efficacy when an individual was at risk of a SUD, but more insight into potential early interventions is needed – particularly in those individuals with polysubstance use disorder.

description: The various influences in the processes and application domains make Requirements Engineering (RE) inherently complex and difficult to implement. In general, we have two options for establishing an RE approach: we can either establish an activity-based RE approach or we can establish an artefact-based one where project participants concentrate on the RE artefacts rather than on the way of creating them. While a number of activity-based RE approaches have been proposed in recent years, we have gained much empirical evidence and experiences about the advantages of the artefact-based paradigm for RE. However, artefact orientation is still a young paradigm with various interpretations and practical manifestations whereby we need a clear understanding of its basic concepts and a consolidated and evaluated view on the paradigm. In this article, we contribute an artefact-based approach to RE (AMDiRE) that emerges from six years of experiences in fundamental and evidence-based research. To this end, we first discuss the basic notion of artefact orientation and its evolution in recent years. We briefly introduce a set of artefact-based RE models we developed in industrial research cooperations for different application domains, show their empirical evaluations, and their dissemination into academia and practice, eventually leading to the AMDiRE approach. We conclude with a discussion of experiences we made during the development and different industrial evaluations, and lessons learnt.

description: Holographic model of a three-dimensional current carrying superconductor or superfluid with {\it dark matter} sector described by the additional $U(1)$-gauge field coupled to the ordinary Maxwell one, has been studied in the probe limit. We investigated analytically by the Sturm-Liouville variational method, the holographic s-wave and p-wave models in the background of the AdS soliton as well as five-dimensional AdS black hole spacetimes. The two models of p-wave superfluids were considered, the so called $SU(2)$ and the Maxwell-vector. Special attention has been paid to the dependence of the critical chemical potential and critical transition temperature on the velocity of the condensate and {\it dark matter} parameters. The current $J$ in holographic three-dimensional superconductor studied here, shows the linear dependence on $T_c-T$ for both s and p-wave symmetry. This is in a significant contrast with the previously obtained results for two-dimensional superconductors, which reveal the $(T-T_c)^{3/2}$ temperature dependence. The coupling constant $α$, as well as, chemical potential $μ_D$ and the velocity $S_D$ of the {\it dark matter}, affect the critical chemical potential of the p-wave holographic $SU(2)$ system. On the other hand, $α$, {\it dark matter} velocity $S_D$ and density $ρ_D$ determine the actual value of the transition temperature of the same superconductor/superfluid set up. However, the {\it dark matter} does not affect the value of the current.

description: In-person 5-minute lightning talk given at the Festival of the Hidden REF on 21 September 2023 at the M Shed in Bristol, United Kingdom. Abstract In this talk, I share some personal reflections - based on my experience, those of others I work with, and from a research culture study - on the need to conduct rigorous assessments of research assessment, and possible challenges when doing that, i.e the "Triangle of Sadness" and "despair gap" with front line workers in research.

description: This registration is an addendum to the original pre-registration on this page. This document serves as a pre-registration addendum for an undergraduate thesis project pre-registered and conducted during the 19-20 academic school year. The original pre-registration laid out detailed plans for quantitative analyses designed to test hypotheses and also indicated that qualitative analyses would also be conducted in an exploratory fashion. This addendum lays out our plans in detail for an exploratory thematic analysis we are conducting on a portion of the narrative data that was collected with the original project.

description: In experiments with superconducting quantum circuits, characterizing the photon statistics of propagating microwave fields is a fundamental task. We quantify the $n^{2}\,{+}\,n$ photon number variance of thermal microwave photons emitted from a black-body radiator for mean photon numbers $0.05\,{\lesssim}\,n\,{\lesssim}\,1.5$. We probe the fields using either correlation measurements or a transmon qubit coupled to a microwave resonator. Our experiments provide a precise quantitative characterization of weak microwave states and information on the noise emitted by a Josephson parametric amplifier.

description: In this paper we use generating function methods to obtain new asymptotic results about spaces of $F$-stable maximal tori in $GL_n(\overline{F_q})$, $Sp_{2n}(\overline{F_q})$, and $SO_{2n+1}(\overline{F_q})$. We recover stability results of Church--Ellenberg--Farb and Jiménez Rolland--Wilson for "polynomial" statistics on these spaces, and we compute explicit formulas for their stable values. We derive a double generating function for the characters of the cohomology of flag varieties in type B/C, which we use to obtain analogs in type B/C of results of Chen: we recover "twisted homological stability" for the spaces of maximal tori in $Sp_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$ and $SO_{2n+1}(\mathbb{C})$, and we compute a generating function for their "stable twisted Betti numbers". We also give a new proof of a result of Lehrer using symmetric function theory.
