description: The Kapteyn moving group has been postulated as tidal debris from $ω$ Centauri. If true, members of the group should show some of the chemical abundance patterns known for stars in the cluster. We present an optical and near-infrared high-resolution, high-S/N spectroscopic study of 14 stars of the Kapteyn group, plus 10 additional stars (the $ω$ Cen-group) that, while not listed as members of the Kapteyn group as originally defined, have been nevertheless associated dynamically with $ω$ Centauri. Abundances for Na, O, Mg, Al, Ca and Ba were derived from the optical spectra, while the strength of the chromospheric He I 10830 Å line is studied as a possible helium abundance indicator. The resulting Na-O and Mg-Al patterns for stars of the combined Kapteyn and $ω$ Cen-group samples do not resemble those of $ω$ Centauri, and are not different from those of field stars of the Galactic halo. The distribution of equivalent widths of the He I 10830 Å line is consistent with that found among non-active field stars. Therefore, no evidence is found for second-generation stars within our samples, which most likely rules out a globular-cluster origin. Moreover, no hint of the unique Ba-overabundance at the metal-rich end, well-established for $ω$ Centauri stars, is seen among stars of the combined samples. Because this specific Ba pattern is present in $ω$ Centauri irrespective of stellar generation, this would rule out the possibility that our entire sample might be composed of only first generation stars from the cluster. Finally, for the stars of the Kapteyn group, the possibility of an origin in the hypothetical $ω$ Centauri's parent galaxy is disfavored by the different run of $α$-elements with metallicity between our targets and stars from present-day dwarf galaxies.

description: The dynamics of domain walls in ultrathin ferromagnetic strips with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is studied from both numerical and analytical micromagnetics. The influence of the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction associated to a bi-layer strip arrangement has been considered, giving rise to the formation of Dzyaloshinskii domain walls. Such walls possess under equilibrium conditions an inner magnetization structure defined by a certain orientation angle that make them to be considered as intermediate configurations between Bloch and Néel walls. Two different dynamics are considered, a field-driven and a current-driven dynamics, in particular, the one promoted by the spin torque due to the Spin-Hall effect. Results show an inherent asymmetry associated with the rotation of the domain wall magnetization orientation before reaching the stationary regime, characterized by a constant terminal speed. For a certain initial DW magnetization orientation at rest, the rotation determines whether the reorientation of the DW magnetization prior to reach stationary motion is smooth or abrupt. This asymmetry affects the DW motion that can even reverse for a short period of time. Additionally, it is found that the terminal speed in the case of the current-driven dynamics may depend on either the initial DW magnetization orientation at rest or the sign of the longitudinally injected current.
title: Developing Students’ Intercultural Sensitivity. A Technical Action Research study at an international business school in the Netherlands. (Also known as ‘the Shoe Sole Project’).

description: This practitioner research is focused on developing students’ intercultural sensitivity with the aim to develop their potential to demonstrate intercultural competence. There has been an increasing call for Higher Education Institutes to develop students’ intercultural sensitivity and competence to prepare them as professionals and as citizens for the requirements of a globalizing world. Intercultural sensitivity and competence development do not occur automatically. Learning interventions are required for development in this. In this Technical Action Research project an intercultural learning intervention was designed in which the Creative Action Methodology pedagogy was used as a heuristic tool. This intervention bridged the discrepancy between nature, the functioning of our brain to solve problems, and nurture, the impact of the culture of the truth in Dutch education. It was tested whether this intervention would contribute to developing students’ intercultural sensitivity at an international business school in the Netherlands. This study aims to contribute to the body of knowledge on intercultural sensitivity development and to help fulfil the need for pedagogical developments to support schools’ internationalisation at home practices. This study also aims to contribute to the knowledge about the Creative Action Methodology pedagogy as a theoretical explanation of intercultural sensitivity. In the intervention a group of twenty-two first-year students with the Dutch nationality only and who were born and raised in the Netherlands, participated. A sequential explanatory design was setup and a mixed-methods approach, using the Intercultural Development Inventory and semi-structured interviews, served to collect data. Based on the data analysis it appears that breaking away from the culture of the truth forms an explanation with a fundamental scientific understanding of intercultural sensitivity development. This fundamental understanding, ‘Verstehen’, clarifies why, on average, participants’ intercultural sensitivity had developed during this Technical Action Research: Participants’ intercultural sensitivity developed as the emancipatory process was set in motion among participants to break away from the culture of the truth. This created in general a more open mind-set among participants to handle multiple perspectives. The change in the group’s Developmental Orientation shows that, as a group, participants no longer consider their worldview as being central to reality or that other worldviews are threatening to their own worldview.

description: Inelastic scattering and carrier capture by defects in semiconductors are the primary causes of hot-electron-mediated degradation of power devices, which holds up their commercial development. At the same time, carrier capture is a major issue in the performance of solar cells and light-emitting diodes. A theory of nonradiative inelastic scattering by defects, however, is non-existent, while the the- ory for carrier capture by defects has had a long and arduous history. Here we report the construction of a comprehensive theory of inelastic scattering by defects, with carrier capture being a special case. We distinguish between capture under thermal equilibrium conditions and capture under non-equilibrium conditions, e.g., in the presence of electrical current or hot carriers where carriers undergo scattering by defects and are described by a mean free path. In the thermal-equilibrium case, capture is mediated by a non-adiabatic perturbation Hamiltonian, originally identified by Huang and Rhys and by Kubo, which is equal to linear electron-phonon coupling to first order. In the non-equilibrium case, we demonstrate that the primary capture mechanism is within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, with coupling to the defect potential inducing Franck-Condon electronic transitions, followed by multiphonon dissipation of the transition energy, while the non-adiabatic terms are of secondary importance. We report density-functional-theory calculations of the capture cross section for a prototype defect using the Projector-Augmented-Wave which allows us to employ all-electron wavefunctions. We adopt a Monte Carlo scheme to sample multiphonon configurations and obtain converged results. The theory and the results represent a foundation upon which to build engineering-level models for hot-electron degradation of power devices and the performance of solar cells and light-emitting diodes.

description: Metformin is the first-line antidiabetic drug with over 100 million users worldwide, yet its mechanism of action remains unclear1. Here the Metformin Genetics (MetGen) Consortium reports a three-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS), consisting of 13,123 participants of different ancestries. The C allele of rs8192675 in the intron of SLC2A2, which encodes the facilitated glucose transporter GLUT2, was associated with a 0.17% (p=6.6×10−14) greater metformin-induced in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in 10,577 participants of European ancestry. rs8192675 is the top cis expression quantitative trait locus (cis-eQTL) for SLC2A2 in 1,226 human liver samples, suggesting a key role for hepatic GLUT2 in regulation of metformin action. Among obese individuals, C-allele homozygotes at rs8192675 had a 0.33% (3.6 mmol/mol) greater absolute HbA1c reduction than T-allele homozygotes. This was about half the effect seen with the addition of a DPP-4 inhibitor, and equated to a dose difference of 550mg of metformin, suggesting rs8192675 as a potential biomarker for stratified medicine.

description: The fully symmetric Gaussian tripartite entangled pure states will not exhibit two-mode Einstein Podolsky-Rosen (EPR)-steering. This means that any two participants cannot share quantum secrets using the security of one-sided device independent quantum key distribution (1SDI-QKD) without involving the third. They are restricted at most to standard quantum key distribution (S-QKD), which is less secure. Here we show that least some asymmetric tripartite systems can exhibit bipartite EPR-steering, so that two of the participants can use 1SDI-QKD without involving the other. This is possible because the promiscuity relations of continuous-variable tripartite entanglement are different from those of discrete-variable systems. We analyse these properties for two different systems, showing that the asymmetric system has an extra degree of flexibility not found in the symmetric one.

description: From observations by the Hubble Space Telescope, Keck II Telescope, and Gemini North Telescope, we have determined the mutual orbit of the large transneptunian object (174567) Varda and its satellite Ilmarë. These two objects orbit one another in a highly inclined, circular or near-circular orbit with a period of 5.75 days and a semimajor axis of 4810 km. This orbit reveals the system mass to be (2.664 +/- 0.064) x 10^20 kg, slightly greater than the mass of the second most massive main-belt asteroid (4) Vesta. The dynamical mass can in turn be combined with estimates of the surface area of the system from Herschel Space Telescope thermal observations to estimate a bulk density of 1.24 +0.50 -0.35 g cm^-3. Varda and Ilmarë both have colors similar to the combined colors of the system, B-V = 0.886 +/- 0.025 and V-I = 1.156 +/- 0.029.

Classical scale invariance in the inert doublet model

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The inert doublet model (IDM) is a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) that can account for the dark matter in the universe. Naturalness arguments motivate us to study whether the model can be embedded into a theory with dynamically generated scales. In this work we study a classically scale invariant version of the IDM with a minimal hidden sector, which has a $U(1)_{\text{CW}}$ gauge symmetry and a complex scalar $Φ$. The mass scale is generated in the hidden sector via the Coleman-Weinberg (CW) mechanism and communicated to the two Higgs doublets via portal couplings. Since the CW scalar remains light, acquires a vacuum expectation value and mixes with the SM Higgs boson, the phenomenology of this construction can be modified with respect to the traditional IDM. We analyze the impact of adding this CW scalar and the $Z'$ gauge boson on the calculation of the dark matter relic density and on the spin-independent nucleon cross section for direct detection experiments. Finally, by studying the RG equations we find regions in parameter space which remain valid all the way up to the Planck scale.

description: ABSTRACT This thesis examined the status of workplace bullying within one District of the national policing organization of Canada, the RCMP, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The intent of this study was threefold. First, to determine the rate of bullying within the workplace. Second, to determine if anti-harassment programs are effective. Third, impact of anti-harassment training programs on the organizational culture Using action research with multiple approaches to gather overarching meta-methodology gathering meta- and micro- data incorporating qualitative and quantitative approaches. They were distinct phases to this study. The first phase was the pre-stage establishing the study’s parameters and permissions from both the University of Liverpool and the RCMP. The second phase represented the beginning of ‘doing’ the research. The methods included semi-structured interviews, survey questions and document review. The third phase represented the stage of amassing the findings and conducting the analysis. The fourth phase represents the recommendation stage, providing summary data to senior leader and district manager teams. Phase five the Implementation stage, subsequently named, implementation interrupted, and the realities of 2020’s pandemic. Each phased informed the approach and prioritizing of the next phase providing an adaptable structure. The challenges within this organization were scepticism that anything would change regardless of the study’s findings due to previous surveys and verbal commitments to change. However, those directly involved in leadership or the anti-harassment training programs were welcoming of the study. There was anticipation localized data of would inform local solutions to address this complex issue. The results provided both short- and long-term action steps. However, the desired outcomes of the study encountered external factors, namely a pandemic that altered the end. Sound communication and presentations garnered unanimous senior leadership and district management team support for ways to enhance the existing training program, improve culture and reduce incidents of bullying.

description: We investigate theoretically shear banding in large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) of polymers and wormlike micelles. In LAOStrain we find banding at low frequencies and sufficiently high strain rate amplitudes in fluids for which the underlying constitutive curve of shear stress as a function of shear rate is non-monotonic. This is the direct analogue of quasi steady state banding seen in slow strain rate sweeps along the flow curve. At higher frequencies and sufficiently high strain amplitudes we report a different but related phenomenon, which we call `elastic' shear banding. This is associated with an overshoot in the elastic (Lissajous-Bowditch) curve of stress as a function of strain. We suggest that this may arise widely even in fluids that have a monotonic underlying constitutive curve, and so do not show steady state banding under a steadily applied shear flow. In LAOStress we report banding in fluids that shear thin strongly enough to have either a negatively, or weakly positively, sloping region in the underlying constitutive curve, noting again that fluids in the latter category do not display steady state banding in a steadily applied flow. This banding is triggered in each half cycle as the stress magnitude transits the region of weak slope in an upward direction, such that the fluid effectively yields. Our numerics are performed in the Rolie-poly model of polymeric fluids, but we also provide arguments suggesting that our results should apply more widely. Besides banding in the shear rate profile, which can be measured by velocimetry, we also predict banding in the shear and normal stress components, measurable by birefringence. As a backdrop to understanding the new results on shear banding in LAOS, we also briefly review earlier work on banding in other time-dependent protocols, focusing in particular on shear startup and step stress.

description: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide1,2. Although 58 genomic regions have been associated with CAD to date3–9, most of the heritability is unexplained9, indicating additional susceptibility loci await identification. An efficient discovery strategy may be larger-scale evaluation of promising associations suggested by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Hence, we genotyped 56,309 participants using a targeted gene array derived from earlier GWAS results and meta-analysed results with 194,427 participants previously genotyped to give a total of 88,192 CAD cases and 162,544 controls. We identified 25 new SNP-CAD-associations (P < 5x10-8, in fixed effects meta-analysis) from 15 genomic regions, including SNPs in or near genes involved in cellular adhesion, leucocyte migration and atherosclerosis (PECAM1, rs1867624), coagulation and inflammation (PROCR, rs867186 [p.Ser219Gly]) and vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation (LMOD1, rs2820315). Correlation of these regions with cell type-specific gene expression and plasma protein levels shed light on potential novel disease mechanisms.

description: We investigate the optical properties of hydrogen as it undergoes a transition from the insulating molecular to the metallic atomic phase, when heated by a pulsed laser at megabar pressures in a diamond anvil cell. Most current experiments attempt to observe this transition by detecting a change in the optical reflectance and/or transmittance. Theoretical models for this change are based on the dielectric function calculated for bulk, homogeneous slabs of material. Experimentally, one expects a hydrogen plasma density that varies on a length scale not substantially smaller than the wave length of the probing light. We show that taking this inhomogeneity into account can lead to significant corrections in the reflectance and transmittance. We present a technique to calculate the optical properties of systems with a smoothly varying density of charge carriers, determine the optical response for metallic hydrogen in the diamond anvil cell experiment and contrast this with the standard results. Analyzing recent experimental results we obtain $σ^{Drude}_{DC}=(2.1 \pm 1.3) \times 10^3$ ($Ω$ cm)$^{-1}$ for the conductivity of metallic hydrogen at 170 GPa and 1250 K.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide(1). We performed a genetic association study in 15,256 cases and 47,936 controls, with replication of select top results (P < 5 x 10(-6)) in 9,498 cases and 9,748 controls. In the combined meta-analysis, we identified 22 loci associated at genome-wide significance, including 13 new associations with COPD. Nine of these 13 loci have been associated with lung function in general population samples(2-7), while 4 (EEFSEC, DSP, MTCL1, and SFTPD) are new. We noted two loci shared with pulmonary fibrosis(8,9) (FAM13A and DSP) but that had opposite risk alleles for COPD. None of our loci overlapped with genome-wide associations for asthma, although one locus has been implicated in joint susceptibility to asthma and obesity(10). We also identified genetic correlation between COPD and asthma. Our findings highlight new loci associated with COPD, demonstrate the importance of specific loci associated with lung function to COPD, and identify potential regions of genetic overlap between COPD and other respiratory diseases.

description: This paper introduces the fundamental continuum theory governing momentum transport in isotropic nanofluidic flows. The theory is an extension to the classical Navier-Stokes equation, which includes coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom, as well as non-local response functions that incorporates spatial correlations. The continuum theory is compared with molecular dynamics simulation data for both relaxation processes and fluid flows showing excellent agreement on the nanometer length scale. We also present practical tools to estimate when the extended theory should be used.
Unpacking Right-Wing Extremism in "Multicultural" Canada : The Case of the Canadian Nationalist Front

description: There has been a rise in Right-wing extremism (RWE) mobilizing within what is known as the setter-colonial state of Canada, with some groups espousing values and narratives grounded in White nationalist ideology which have led to instances of violence and harm against community members. These incidents of harm and violence occur in the context of the Canadian state's claims to inclusive multiculturalism, civility and benevolence. While there are many looking into the presence of RWE groups to document their existence, mobilizing patterns and tactics, very little analysis exists that offers a deep analysis into these groups and situates their political ideology within the broader context of the Canadian state’s governance logics. Therefore, to push the discussion on this topic further, this project looks at the specific case of the Canadian Nationalist Front's (CNF), a White nationalist group in Canada, and unpacks the discourse shared on their blog. Through dissecting the CNF's blogpost with a theoretical framework of analysis that moves beyond understanding this group as merely a fringe group which holds fundamentally different values than the Canadian state, I make links to the existing literature that demonstrates the parallels between the two. I argue that the racialized governance logics of White nationalist groups, like the CNF, are also shared in the settler-colonial logics of the Canadian state's border governance strategies. Further, I highlight the ways in which groups like the CNF ground their movements in the superiority of Whiteness, while using the state's claims of inclusivity and multiculturalism to justify their entitlement to hold these exclusionary ideologies while presenting themselves as victims of those that they "Other". Finally, I contextualize their discourse within the context of neoliberalism, which has intensified the harms of racial capitalism in a way that has also impacted the White working class and allowed groups like the CNF to use economic grievances to mobilize their movements.
title: An investigation into the progression of Saint Lucian male students through higher education
Creators: name: Mayer, Fiona
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Abstract In Saint Lucia, the number of young men pursuing higher education tends to be significantly lower than that of young women. However, there is limited scientific research into the topic of young males’ participation and under-representation in higher education within the Saint Lucian environment. This qualitative research examined the main factors that affect young males in Saint Lucia as they journey through higher education. The thesis examined the lived experiences that these young men en-countered during the pursuit of higher education. As the lived expe-riences were shared, the authentic experiences of the young Saint Lucian males as it relates to higher education and the factors that influenced those aspirations were expressed. This research is informed by Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenology, which focuses on the importance of the participants’ experiences. The work of Bourdieu is used to underpin the research. The re-search methodology used in this study ensured that the perspectives shared were based on the subjective experiences of the participants. With the use of purposive sampling, fifteen young males were select-ed as participants for this study. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted with the fifteen participants of the Piton Institute of Higher Learning, which is located in Saint Lucia. The data analysis identified units of meaning and emergent themes. The findings suggested that there was keenness towards, and aspi-rations of higher education after secondary school, in the minds of the participants in the study. According to their shared experiences, the path to higher education was influenced by social, economic and cultural capital. The study brings new knowledge and perspectives to an area, which has been under researched in Saint Lucia, by focusing on the voices of the research participants. The impact of social, academic and cultural capital was explored in relation to the higher education aspirations and its part in the widening participation debate. This study being qualitative in nature, the findings are not generalizable to all Saint Lucia males. Nonetheless, the conclusions and recommenda-tions provided a useful insight into how higher education can be made more accessible to young males in Saint Lucia and increase their success at completion of their studies. Further research can explore the perception of males in secondary schools about higher education. Based on the findings, it is recommended that necessary policy frameworks, financial and educational support systems be instituted to facilitate increased levels of male progression and success in higher education.

description: This is a scanned copy of a photo plot / soil condition questionnaire for Sonderend, Langeberg, site 3319DA/6. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape.  SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
