description: The Elfed Thomas Law School site lies some 11 Orn to the south of the Roman and medieval town defences in an area known to have been a Roman cemetery. Excavation during re-development revealed stratified archaeological deposits and features from the late first century AD to the post-medieval period. Early Roman features included an east-west boundary ditch with domestic activity to the north comprising cess and other pits, post holes and gullies. In the latter half of the fourth century the northern area was part of an inhumation cemetery. The graves are notable for a consistent burial rite involving supine burial on a west-east axis in stone lined graves, often in nailed timber coffins, and lacking grave goods.

Unravelling the Nature of Physical Frailty and Sarcopenia in Acute and Chronic Respiratory Disease

Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Acute and chronic respiratory disease represent a common and challenging group of conditions associated with substantial morbidity and mortality while physical frailty and sarcopenia represent models of decline in physical function and strength usually applied to older individuals. This thesis aims to explore how these models apply to individuals with respiratory disease. Results obtained from two observational studies are presented with the first examining changes in exacerbation frequency and physical activity changes among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during the COVID-19. The second study provides detailed measures of frailty, body composition and physical performance obtained during one year follow up following hospitalisation for COVID-19. Among COPD patients a significant increase in the frequency of rescue treatment for acute exacerbations was seen despite a notable decline in the frequency of hospital admissions as compared to the same period one year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Additionally behavioural changes including reduced physical activity and increased medication adherence were reported. In the follow up study of 2793 patients hospitalised for COVID-19 a substantial burden of physical frailty was noted alongside significant adiposity which was associated with self-reported non-recovery. Measures of physical performance identified older age and obesity as particular risk factors for sustained reduced performance up to one year. Physical frailty and sarcopenia provide models that can be used to better understand observed outcomes among individuals with acute and chronic respiratory disease.

description: We propose a hybrid approach to temporal anomaly detection in access data of users to databases --- or more generally, any kind of subject-object co-occurrence data. We consider a high-dimensional setting that also requires fast computation at test time. Our methodology identifies anomalies based on a single stationary model, instead of requiring a full temporal one, which would be prohibitive in this setting. We learn a low-rank stationary model from the training data, and then fit a regression model for predicting the expected likelihood score of normal access patterns in the future. The disparity between the predicted likelihood score and the observed one is used to assess the `surprise' at test time. This approach enables calibration of the anomaly score, so that time-varying normal behavior patterns are not considered anomalous. We provide a detailed description of the algorithm, including a convergence analysis, and report encouraging empirical results. One of the data sets that we tested, TDA, is new for the public domain. It consists of two months' worth of database access records from a live system. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/eyalgut/TLR_anomaly_detection.git. The TDA data set is available at https://www.kaggle.com/eyalgut/binary-traffic-matrices.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 86, 135-138
description: The site of Drayton II Villa is located in south-east Leicestershire, close to the crossing point of the Gartree Roman Road and the River Welland (SP 817 918). it was first noticed in the eighteenth century and is mentioned in Nichols' History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, but was not rediscovered until deep ploughing in the late 1970s. It then became the focus of both rigorous field walking and geophysical survey by the Leicestershire museums survey team and the University of Leicester. The villa was then excavated jointly until 1993 as a field school for the University, and for the employment training scheme of County Council. Regretfully this interesting Roman rural site has never seen full publication. The chance has been taken here to report a finger ring, which must be one of the most significant finds from the site that has yet to receive comment.

description: Using the wonderful compactification of a semisimple adjoint affine algebraic group G defined over an algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic, we construct a natural compactification Y of the G-character variety of any finitely generated group F. When F is a free group, we show that this compactification is always simply connected with respect to the étale fundamental group, and when k=C it is also topologically simply connected. For other groups F, we describe conditions for the compactification of the moduli space to be simply connected and give examples when these conditions are satisfied, including closed surface groups and free abelian groups when G=PGL(n,C). Additionally, when F is a free group we identify the boundary divisors of Y in terms of previously studied moduli spaces, and we construct a family of Poisson structures on Y and its boundary divisors arising from Belavin-Drinfeld splittings of the double of the Lie algebra of G. In the appendix, authored by Sam Evens and Arlo Caine, we explain how to put a Poisson structure on a quotient of a Poisson algebraic variety by the action of a reductive Poisson algebraic group.

description: We derive an improved version of the recursive Green's function formalism (RGF), which is a standard tool in the quantum transport theory. We consider the case of disordered quasi one-dimensional materials where the disorder is applied in form of randomly distributed realistic defects, leading to partly periodic Hamiltonian matrices. The algorithm accelerates the common RGF in the recursive decimation scheme, using the iteration steps of the renormalization decimation algorithm. This leads to a smaller effective system, which is treated using the common forward iteration scheme. The computational complexity scales linearly with the number of defects, instead of linearly with the total system length for the conventional approach. We show that the scaling of the calculation time of the Green's function depends on the defect density of a random test system. Furthermore, we discuss the calculation time and the memory requirement of the whole transport formalism applied to defective carbon nanotubes.

description: We study the transport properties of defective single-walled armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a mesoscopic length scale. Monovacancies and divancancies are positioned randomly along the CNT. The calculations are based on a fast, linearly scaling recursive Green's function formalism that allows us to treat large systems quantum-mechanically. The electronic structure of the CNT is described by a density-functional-based tight-binding model. We determine the influence of the defects on the transmission function for a given defect density by statistical analysis. We show that the system is in the regime of strong localization (i.e. Anderson localization). In the limit of large disorder the conductance scales exponentially with the number of defects. This allows us to extract the localization length. Furthermore, we study in a systematic and comprehensive way, how the conductance, the conductance distribution, and the localization length depend on defect probability, CNT diameter, and temperature.

description: One goal of contemporary mathematical modeling classes in schools should be to include up-to-date problems or interesting, new technologies from the everyday life of students-especially if these allow the didactical reduction to elementary (school-)mathematical knowledge and thus have the potential to enrich mathematics education. Data Science and Machine Learning is applied in numerous areas of science and technology and used in many applications in our everyday life. Using movie recommender systems and the so-called Netflix Prize as an example, this paper discusses how mathematics education can be enriched by modeling real-world, student-centered problems from the field of Machine Learning in school. For this purpose, we describe tested digital learning material from guided modeling projects and share our experience with giving the problem of developing a recommender system as a completely open problem to upper secondary students.
St Michael's Church and Parish, Leicester

description: St Michael's was one of Leicester's oldest parishes, but very little is known about its church which had decayed by and was apparently demolished not long after 1450. It stood in 'the back lanes', the area in the north-eastern part of the medieval walled town which Throsby, Nichols, and later writers believed to have lost its population after it was devastated in the siege of 1173. Recent opinion, however, has inclined to the view that there had never been very many houses in that part of Leicester and that it is unlikely that a prosperous and inhabited area, in which any kind of established trade or commercial activity took place, would not have recovered, even from serious devastation. It might be helpful to gather together what is known about St Michael's parish and to suggest a site for the church.

description: In this paper, the notion of bi-Boolean independence for non-unital pairs of algebras is introduced thereby extending the notion of Boolean independence to pairs of algebras. The notion of B-$(\ell, r)$-cumulants is defined via a bi-Boolean moment-cumulant formula over the lattice of bi-interval partitions, and it is demonstrated that bi-Boolean independence is equivalent to the vanishing of mixed B-$(\ell, r)$-cumulants. Furthermore, some of the simplest bi-Boolean convolutions are considered, and a bi-Boolean partial $η$-transform is constructed for the study of limit theorems and infinite divisibility with respect to the additive bi-Boolean convolution. In particular, a bi-Boolean Lévy-Hinčin formula is derived in perfect analogy with the bi-free case, and some Bercovici-Pata type bijections are provided. Additional topics considered include the additive bi-Fermi convolution, some relations between the $(\ell, r)$- and B-$(\ell, r)$-cumulants, and bi-Boolean independence in an amalgamated setting. The last section of this paper also includes an errata that will be published with this copy of the paper.

Rewriting the script: towards a new ethos of writerly practice for museums
Creators: name: Teskey, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates the effectiveness of interdisciplinary writing strategies in mitigating the specific deficits of museum writing practice. Text is perhaps the most fundamental method through which museums communicate with their audiences. But while the mechanics of museum text development, including attracting and retaining visitor attention, ideal word counts and accessible language, have been extensively studied, the actual practice of writing – its workflows and how they are managed, its participants and how they interact – has received little attention. As a result, museum writing lacks theoretical and practical frameworks to scaffold this complex, collaborative process. To address this, the thesis deploys an innovative methodology centred on three practice-based research interventions. The interventions live tested writing strategies inspired by three distinctive arenas – television, wikis and user-generated fiction – across a series of exhibition projects. The research design is rooted in a robust understanding of the realities of current museum practice – drawing on practitioner interviews and museum sector literature – and in the field of writing studies, which offers theoretical principles that allow us to conceptualise the challenges inherent in the museum writing process. The thesis establishes, for the first time, a framework for museum writing that is both theoretically grounded and practically applicable. It defines a toolkit of actionable strategies that respond directly to the deficits of museum text development and, ultimately, proposes a new ethos of writerly practice for museums. This ethos shifts away from current orthodoxies of practice – where writing is siloed, depersonalised and viewed as an act of problem-solving – and reimagines it as an empathetic, holistic, writer-led, imaginative, open-ended, visible and valued practice: one that balances the inevitably collaborative and the profoundly personal dimensions of writing and that embraces writing in all its complexity and potential.

description: We map a class of well-mixed stochastic models of biochemical feedback in steady state to the mean-field Ising model near the critical point. The mapping provides an effective temperature, magnetic field, order parameter, and heat capacity that can be extracted from biological data without fitting or knowledge of the underlying molecular details. We demonstrate this procedure on fluorescence data from mouse T cells, which reveals distinctions between how the cells respond to different drugs. We also show that the heat capacity allows inference of absolute molecule number from fluorescence intensity. We explain this result in terms of the underlying fluctuations and demonstrate the generality of our work.

description: We study the electron transport in metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with realistic defects of different types. We focus on large CNTs with many defects in the mesoscopic range. In a recent paper we demonstrated that the electronic transport in those defective CNTs is in the regime of strong localization. We verify by quantum transport simulations that the localization length of CNTs with defects of mixed types can be related to the localization lengths of CNTs with identical defects by taking the weighted harmonic average. Secondly, we show how to use this result to estimate the conductance of arbitrary defective CNTs, avoiding time consuming transport calculations.

description: This is the first of three papers in which I propose to examine aspects of medieval Rothley, Leicestershire, starting with a paper on a thirteenth-century custumal of the soke of Rothley, originally drawn up when it was held by the Templars. This paper will examine the nature and content of the Rothley custumal, a document which survives as a sixteenth-century copy of a thirteenth-century original in the Records Office for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The different elements within the custumal will be drawn out and conclusions about the dating of the custumal, first examined over a century ago by Clark, will be made.

description: There is considerably greater variation in metabolic rates between men than between women—basal, activity and total (daily) energy expenditure (EE). One possible explanation is that EE is associated with male sexual characteristics (which are known to vary more than other traits) such as musculature and athletic capacity. Such traits might be predicted to be most prominent during periods of adolescence and young adulthood, when sexual behaviour develops and peaks. We tested this hypothesis on a large dataset by comparing the amount of male variation and female variation in total EE, activity EE and basal EE, at different life stages, along with several morphological traits: height, fat free mass and fat mass. Total EE, and to some degree also activity EE, exhibit considerable greater male variation (GMV) in young adults, and then a decreasing GMV in progressively older individuals. Arguably, basal EE, and also morphometrics, do not exhibit this pattern. These findings suggest that single male sexual characteristics may not exhibit peak GMV in young adulthood, however total and perhaps also activity EE, associated with many morphological and physiological traits combined, do exhibit GMV most prominently during the reproductive life stages.

description: We theoretically investigate the influence of defect-induced long-range deformations in carbon nanotubes on their electronic transport properties. To this end we perform numerical ab-initio calculations using a density-functional-based tight-binding (DFTB) model for various tubes with vacancies. The geometry optimization leads to a change of the atomic positions. There is a strong reconstruction of the atoms near the defect (called "distortion") and there is an additional long-range deformation. The impact of both structural features on the conductance is systematically investigated. We compare short and long CNTs of different kinds with and without long-range deformation. We find for the very thin (9,0)-CNT that the long-range deformation additionally affects the transmission spectrum and the conductance compared to the short-range lattice distortion. The conductance of the larger (11,0)- or the (14,0)-CNT is overall less affected implying that the influence of the long-range deformation decreases with increasing tube diameter. Furthermore, the effect can be either positive or negative depending on the CNT type and the defect type. Our results indicate that the long-range deformation must be included in order to reliably describe the electronic structure of defective, small-diameter zigzag tubes.

description: The following article draws on data gathered, interpreted and recorded in the author's Ph.D. thesis of 2006 concerning the manor, parish and soke of Rothley, Leicestershire. During her research the author used a combination of historical and archaeological evidence, and concluded that the church at Rothley was a pre-Conquest minster founded in the mid- to late-tenth century. Some of the evidence regarding the church and parish is summarised in this article. Subsequent archaeological evidence has led the author to revise the original proposal, and she now suggests a new date for the foundation of the church at Rothley between the late-seventh and mid-eighth centuries. This foundation can be placed in the context of a Christian mission and the work of bishops, who sought to found bases from which to evangelise and baptise a local population beginning to embrace Christianity.

We also observe dynamical consequences of these curvature values for relative equilibrium solutions. These curvature methods work well for strong forces ($α\ge 2$).

description: We propose a new method to use the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich for measuring the baryon fraction in cluster of galaxies. In this proposal we need a configuration in which a supernova Type Ia resides in a brightest cluster galaxy of intermediate redshift clusters. We show this supernova Type Ia can be used to measure the bulk velocity of a galaxy cluster. We assert that the redshift range of $0.4

description: In March/April 1987 it was learnt that a nineteenth-century brick kiln and associated buildings in Ashwell Road, Oakham, were to be demolished prior to the land being used for housing. The writers visited the site and quickly recorded the main elements of the brickyard before they disappeared. Time was limited and did not permit an intensive survey of all the buildings in the yard, but detailed measurements of the kiln were taken and a photographic record made (illus. 1). The site is to the east of Ashwell Road about 3/4 mile north of Oakham and the grid reference for the kiln is SK 8646 0959. This paper records what was seen on that brief visit, it does not attempt a detailed history of the brickworks and its owners. However, a brief search through one or two commercial directories reveals that in 1881, Henry and William Hollis are listed as brick and tile makers, Ashwell Road, Oakham and at Cottesmore (Kelly's, 1881).

The Rise and Fall of a Market Town: Castle Donington in the Nineteenth Century
Creators: name: Michael Lee, John

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 32, 53-80
description: The old buildings of Castle Donington are startling evidence of former prosperity. Not only the larger residences of High Street, but also many houses of little importance with back-kitchens and outhouses of old half-timbered work, have red-brick fronts and sash windows, all of the same age, which are a flourish in the classical style that dominated the ordinary domes-tic architecture of the early nineteenth century. The visitor must be puzzled by the curious architectural luxuries which have been altered to suit other purposes. For instance, a house stands in the Market Place, with a classical pediment and a French window which once opened on to a wrought iron balcony; but its ground floor frontage has twice been rebuilt, once to accom-modate two shop-fronts and now to house an office. The balanced pro-portions of No. 71 High Street, and the elegance of its next-door neighbour are evidence of good taste. The two houses in High Street built for two sisters of a former vicar, Isabella and Mary Ann Dalby, command the respect due to comfortable gentility. The bold bow-windows of a shop in Church Lane and the shy milliner's window in Apes Gate remind the passer-by of long-vanished trades. A sense of solid satisfaction is conveyed by the even regularity of door and window in Church Lane Terrace, by the ostentation of Venetian windows above two shops in Borough Street and by the moulding of the cottage door-jambs in Bondgate. Even the brass knockers on the cheapest doors are shaped like classical urns.

description: We evaluate the topological character of TaAs through a detailed study of the angular, magnetic-field and temperature dependence of its magnetoresistivity and Hall-effect(s), and of its bulk electronic structure through quantum oscillatory phenomena. At low temperatures, and for fields perpendicular to the electrical current, we extract an extremely large Hall angle $Θ_H$ at higher fields, that is $Θ_H \sim 82.5^{\circ}$, implying a very pronounced Hall signal superimposed into its magnetoresistivity. For magnetic fields and electrical currents perpendicular to the \emph{c}-axis we observe a very pronounced planar Hall-effect, when the magnetic field is rotated within the basal plane. This effect is observed even at higher temperatures, i.e. as high as $T = 100$ K, and predicted recently to result from the chiral anomaly among Weyl points. Superimposed onto this planar Hall, which is an even function of the field, we observe an anomalous planar Hall-signal akin to the one reported for that is an odd function of the field. Below 100 K, negative longitudinal magnetoresistivity (LMR), initially ascribed to the chiral anomaly and subsequently to current inhomogeneities, is observed in samples having different geometries and contact configurations, once the large Hall signal is subtracted. Our measurements reveal a phase transition upon approaching the quantum limit that leads to the reconstruction of the FS and to the concomitant suppression of the negative LMR indicating that it is intrinsically associated with the Weyl dispersion at the Fermi level. For fields along the \emph{a}-axis it also leads to a pronounced hysteresis pointing to a field-induced electronic phase-transition. This collection of unconventional tranport observations points to the prominent role played by the axial anomaly among Weyl nodes.

The Leicestershire Lin: A River through Time
Creators: name: Miller, Ernest
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2022

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 83, 131-154
description: The River Lin rises at Ulverscroft in the uplands of Charnwood Forest and follows a U-shaped course before emptying into the River Soar at Quorn (Quorndon). This distance is only a little over 17km and nowhere could the Lin be regarded as more than a modest brook. The purpose of this paper is to examine the many different ways the river has been harnessed to serve the needs and demands of generations of local people through almost a thousand years. In addition the writers hope that their researches and fieldwork may point the way to other local studies along similar lines.

description: There is considerably greater variation in metabolic rates between men than between women—basal, activity and total (daily) energy expenditure (EE). One possible explanation is that EE is associated with male sexual characteristics (which are known to vary more than other traits) such as musculature and athletic capacity. Such traits might be predicted to be most prominent during periods of adolescence and young adulthood, when sexual behaviour develops and peaks. We tested this hypothesis on a large dataset by comparing the amount of male variation and female variation in total EE, activity EE and basal EE, at different life stages, along with several morphological traits: height, fat free mass and fat mass. Total EE, and to some degree also activity EE, exhibit considerable greater male variation (GMV) in young adults, and then a decreasing GMV in progressively older individuals. Arguably, basal EE, and also morphometrics, do not exhibit this pattern. These findings suggest that single male sexual characteristics may not exhibit peak GMV in young adulthood, however total and perhaps also activity EE, associated with many morphological and physiological traits combined, do exhibit GMV most prominently during the reproductive life stages.
