description: Digital Science reports in collaboration with the International Unit at Universities UK (UUK) on the significance of international academic collaboration across the UK research base.
The report focuses on the implications of EU and global collaboration for universities, research assessment and the economy. International collaboration is increasingly prevalent, accounting for more than half of the UK’s annual research output across UK universities; this is associated with increased citation impact.
The main findings of the report highlight how:
Knowledge capacity is compromised by a failure to be active internationally. The emergence of international knowledge networks (a ‘Fourth Age’ of research) and the disparity between those more and less engaged will be a critical factor in university strategies. Today, the majority of our international collaborative partners in research are in other EU member states. Quantitative research assessment is less able to provide informative comparative reports. International collaboration is now so prevalent, and covers so much of the most highly-cited output, that no analysis or profile can be exclusively attributable to any single country or university. Owning exclusive knowledge assets is becoming meaningless unless our academic base has the right skills to take advantage of them. If papers are shared then their content and IP is shared.The agility to exploit them ahead of competitors will be important. A flourishing university research base provides an ideal environment for developing knowledge-competent people with the skills that our European competitive economies require.

description: Existing methods for optimal control struggle to deal with the complexity commonly encountered in real-world systems, including dimensionality, process error, model bias and data heterogeneity. Instead of tackling these system complexities directly, researchers have typically sought to simplify models to fit optimal control methods. But when is the optimal solution to an approximate, stylized model better than an approximate solution to a more accurate model? While this question has largely gone unanswered owing to the difficulty of finding even approximate solutions for complex models, recent algorithmic and computational advances in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) might finally allow us to address these questions. DRL methods have to date been applied primarily in the context of games or robotic mechanics, which operate under precisely known rules. Here, we demonstrate the ability for DRL algorithms using deep neural networks to successfully approximate solutions (the "policy function" or control rule) in a non-linear three-variable model for a fishery without knowing or ever attempting to infer a model for the process itself. We find that the reinforcement learning agent discovers an effective simplification of the problem to obtain an interpretable control rule. We show that the policy obtained with DRL is both more profitable and more sustainable than any constant mortality policy -- the standard family of policies considered in fishery management.

description: A peptide elicitor PIP-1 induces defense-related secondary metabolites such as phytoalexin capsidiol in tobacco cells. In this study, we identified one of other metabolites induced by PIP-1 as acetosyringone. Unlike capsidiol accumulation that requires long-term stimulation with PIP-1, acetosyringone was induced by short-term stimulation with PIP-1. The importance of NADPH oxidase in the acetosyringone induction was also demonstrated.

description: Due to their intrinsic capabilities on parallel signal processing, optical neural networks (ONNs) have attracted extensive interests recently as a potential alternative to electronic artificial neural networks (ANNs) with reduced power consumption and low latency. Preliminary confirmation of the parallelism in optical computing has been widely done by applying the technology of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in the linear transformation part of neural networks. However, inter-channel crosstalk has obstructed WDM technologies to be deployed in nonlinear activation in ONNs. Here, we propose a universal WDM structure called multiplexed neuron sets (MNS) which apply WDM technologies to optical neurons and enable ONNs to be further compressed. A corresponding back-propagation (BP) training algorithm is proposed to alleviate or even cancel the influence of inter-channel crosstalk on MNS-based WDM-ONNs. For simplicity, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are employed as an example of MNS to construct a WDM-ONN trained with the new algorithm. The result shows that the combination of MNS and the corresponding BP training algorithm significantly downsize the system and improve the energy efficiency to tens of times while giving similar performance to traditional ONNs.

description: In many real-life routing problems, incorporating the negative effects of turns is an important, but often overlooked aspect. This is especially true for order picking in warehouses, where making the turns not only decreases the picking efficiency by reducing the speed of the vehicle, but it also results in other unquantifiable effects such as vehicle tipovers, increased congestion and increased risk of collision with pedestrians or other vehicles. In this paper, we consider the order picking problem in a parallel-aisle warehouse by taking into account the number and effect of the turns. In particular, we show that the problem of minimising the number of turns, minimising travel time under turn penalties, the biobjective problem that involves turn and travel time minimisation as separate objectives, and the triobjective problem with U-turn minimisation as a third objective can all be solved in polynomial time. Our computational results show that the algorithms we develop can generate the corresponding Pareto front very quickly, and significantly outperform heuristic approaches used in practice.

description: Twisted bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have revealed a rich exciton landscape including hybrid excitons and spatially trapped moiré excitons that dominate the optical response of the material. Recent studies have shown that in the low-twist-angle regime, the lattice undergoes a significant relaxation in order to minimize local stacking energies. Here, large domains of low energy stacking configurations emerge, deforming the crystal lattices via strain and consequently impacting the electronic band structure. However, so far the direct impact of atomic reconstruction on the exciton energy landscape and the optical properties has not been well understood. Here, we apply a microscopic and material-specific approach and predict a significant change in the potential depth for moiré excitons in a reconstructed lattice, with the most drastic change occurring in naturally stacked TMD homobilayers. We show the appearance of multiple flat bands and a significant change in the position of trapping sites compared to the rigid lattice. Most importantly, we predict a multi-peak structure emerging in optical absorption of WSe$_2$ homobilayers - in contrast to the single peak that dominates the rigid lattice. This finding can be exploited as an unambiguous signature of atomic reconstruction in optical spectra of moiré excitons in naturally stacked twisted homobilayers.

description: Microplasmas can be used for a wide range of technological applications and to improve our understanding of fundamental physics. Scanning electron microscopy, on the other hand, provides insights into the sample morphology and chemistry of materials from the mm-down to the nm-scale. Combining both would provide direct insight into plasma-sample interactions in real-time and at high spatial resolution. Up till now, very few attempts in this direction have been made, and significant challenges remain. This work presents a stable direct current glow discharge microplasma setup built inside a scanning electron microscope. The experimental setup is capable of real-time in-situ imaging of the sample evolution during plasma operation and it demonstrates localized sputtering and sample oxidation. Further, the experimental parameters such as varying gas mixtures, electrode polarity, and field strength are explored and experimental $V$-$I$ curves under various conditions are provided. These results demonstrate the capabilities of this setup in potential investigations of plasma physics, plasma-surface interactions, and materials science and its practical applications. The presented setup shows the potential to have several technological applications, e.g., to locally modify the sample surface (e.g., local oxidation and ion implantation for nanotechnology applications) on the $μ$m-scale.

description: Introduction: Clinical supervision supports patient care and health worker wellbeing. However, access to effective clinical supervision is not equitable. We aimed to explore the access and effectiveness of clinical supervision in allied health workers. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design using the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale (MCSS-26), including open-ended survey responses, to collect data on effectiveness. Multivariable regression was conducted to determine how MCSS-26 scores differed across discipline, work location and setting. Open-ended responses were analysed using content analysis. Results: 1113 workers completed the survey, with 319 (28%) reporting they did not receive supervision; this group were more likely to hold management positions, work in a medical imaging discipline and practice in a regional or rural location. For those who received supervision, MCSS-26 scores significantly differed between disciplines and work settings; psychologists and those practising in private practice settings (i.e. fee-for-service) reported the highest levels of effectiveness. Suggested strategies to enhance effectiveness included the use of alternate supervision models, dedicated time for supervision, and training. Conclusion: Targeted subgroups for improving access include senior staff, medical imaging professionals, and those working across regional and rural settings. Where supervision was least effective, strategies to address behaviours with organisational support may be required.

description: Boxy/peanut (b/p) bulges, the vertically extended inner parts of bars, are ubiquitous in barred galaxies in the local Universe, including our own Milky Way. At the same time, a majority of external galaxies and the Milky Way also possess a thick-disc. However, the dynamical effect of thick-discs in the b/p formation and evolution is not fully understood. Here, we investigate the effect of thick-discs in the formation and evolution of b/ps by using a suite of N-body models of (kinematically cold) thin and (kinematically hot) thick discs. Within the suite of models, we systematically vary the mass fraction of the thick disc, and the thin-to-thick disc scale length ratio. The b/ps form in almost all our models via a vertical buckling instability, even in the presence of a massive thick disc. The thin disc b/p is much stronger than the thick disc b/p. With increasing thick disc mass fraction, the final b/p structure gets progressively weaker in strength and larger in extent. Furthermore, the time-interval between the bar formation and the onset of buckling instability gets progressively shorter with increasing thick-disc mass fraction. The breaking and restoration of the vertical symmetry (during and after the b/p formation) show a spatial variation -- the inner bar region restores vertical symmetry rather quickly (after the buckling) while in the outer bar region, the vertical asymmetry persists long after the buckling happens. Our findings also predict that at higher redshifts, when discs are thought to be thicker, b/ps would have more 'boxy-shaped' appearance than more 'X-shaped' appearance. This remains to be tested from future observations at higher redshifts.

Self-transcendent emotions as a psychological resource against boredom: the role of meaning in life

description: Boredom is a common affective experience, associated with many negative psychological, behavioral, and societal outcomes. While research highlighting these problematic consequences is mounting, little is known about the psychological resources that can limit boredom. This thesis aimed to address this void. Boredom differs from other negative emotions in that it features a perceived lack of meaning in life. The existential-buffering hypothesis suggests that sources of meaning in life buffer against boredom. Self-transcendent emotions shift attention outside of the self, increase feelings of connection, and are likely to boost meaning in life. Thus, we reason that self-transcendent emotions will predict less boredom by engendering perceptions of meaning in life. We tested this prediction across four distinct research projects, addressing four different self-transcendent emotions. In Chapter 2, we tested the relationship between self-compassion and boredom via meaning in life with three studies. Chapter 3 investigated the relationship between compassion (for others) and boredom, and the mediating role of meaning in life, with three studies. Chapter 4 assessed the complex impact of awe on boredom with five studies. Chapter 5 extended the findings of the preceding chapters and prior work on gratitude to the ecologically valid context of everyday life using a daily diary study. The findings of all four chapters provided support for the central hypothesis that self-transcendent emotions can curtail boredom by augmenting perceptions of meaning in life. This research advances the literature on multiple levels. First, it provides novel insights into the relationship between self-transcendent emotions, meaning in life, and boredom at various levels of analysis. Second, it strengthens support for the existential-buffering hypothesis. Third, by identifying psychological processes that prevent boredom, this thesis has important practical implications for well-being and provides a solid foundation to stimulate future research on boredom prevention.

description: The aim of this project is to create a map at the scale of 1:275 000 of all Christian Orthodox monasteries that existed between the fifteenth and twentieth centuries, in the county of Buzău, Romania. This area has been one of the biggest centers of Orthodox monasticism in the country, in a time when monasteries were the main centers of culture, science and education. This paper describes how the map was created, while also explaining its purpose and the challenges that emerge in mapping the monasticism and its basic features. The project which underpins the map is unique because it integrates and synthesizes results from historical–geographical studies, which have not yet been depicted cartographically. The map, initially begun in 2012, is based on a large amount of information gathered from a number of collections of historical documents, which were analyzed, validated and complemented in several field campaigns carried out between 2008 and 2015. The procedure, performed with difficulty because of numerous gaps in historical sources and few archaeological evidence, intends to represent a cartographic model for illustrating a phenomenon that otherwise sought to avoid any social exposure.

description: This article outlines the method used in designing a thematic map of land-use. The aim is to depict the main land-use categories and changes, across the Macaronesian islands of Portugal and Spain, between 1990 and 2006. The map presents a novel technique of summarizing land-use/land-cover (LULC) data into a custom-made 2D static graph-based display. The method proposes depicting the region of interest inside a hollow circle chart, commonly known as ‘doughnut chart’. The void inside the chart allows placing a complete cartographic representation, whereas the circle chart itself allows displaying statistical data of the encircled cartographic representation. To convey the temporal dimension, the method positions the graphics following a timeline. This custom display provides a framework to study and represent LULC data, overcoming common visual effectiveness issues. The proposed approach is flexible and suitable for application elsewhere, making it possible to draw visual impressions and comparisons in a straightforward manner.

description: The paper proposes a semi-probabilistic approach for the design of rainwater tanks. In particular, the cumulative distribution function of the active storage is derived as a function of rainfall moments. The model is validated through continuous simulation of the hydraulic behaviour of a hypothetical rainwater tank located in Milan (North Italy) using as input a series of rainfall records.

description: This map is part of the AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series. It covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 516 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and at least 110 kilometres from north to south. The topographic map shows approximate coverage of the sheets. The map may contain information from surrounding map sheets to maximise utilisation of available space on the map sheet. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries.

description: Chlorine decay models provide efficient ways to develop disinfection strategies for water distribution systems, provided they account separately for bulk and wall decay, and accurately describe decay with a single set of coefficients. The augmented two-reactant (2RA) model is shown to be the simplest model to accurately describe effects of rechlorination dose/timing on bulk chlorine decay, in combination with effects of initial concentration and temperature over long periods. The two-reactant (2R) and variable reaction-coefficient (VRC) models provided predictions of comparable accuracy under higher and successive rechlorination doses at constant temperature. However, the 2RA model provides a more general basis for strategy development, as the VRC model cannot describe the effect of temperature variation. The minimal data-set required for 2RA calibration was similar for all cases considered. The 2RA model is readily applied by incorporation into system modelling software such as the multi-species extension (MSX) to EPANET software.

description: The main objective of this paper is to assess the estimation of track condition parameters using onboard micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) accelerometers. A prototype of an onboard data acquisition system was designed and installed on a track recording car (TRC) and a measurement campaign was conducted on an extensive portion of the Brisbane Suburban railway network. Comparison of the accelerometer-based results vs TRC recordings have shown that accelerometers installed on the bogie are the best compromise between proximity to the source and insensitivity to impulsive noise. It was found that two vertical bogie accelerometers (left and right) provide a good quantitative estimate of vertical alignment and that strong correlations with TRC measurements exist for lateral MEMS accelerometer measurements (horizontal alignment). These findings suggest that two bogie MEMS accelerometers with vertical and lateral measurement axes are effective in estimating geographical distributions of vertical/horizontal alignment.
