Vedic Yajña: Its Scientific Basis and Universal Significance
Creators: name: Subham, Dr. Milan Barman
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Sanskrit
subject: Geometry

description: The Vedic Yajña, often perceived solely as a religious ritual, possesses profound scientific and universal significance that transcends its spiritual framework. Rooted in the principles of harmony between nature, cosmos, and human life, the Yajña involves the offering of oblations into the sacred fire (Agni), accompanied by precise chanting of mantras from the Vedas. Scientifically, the fire altar functions as a dynamic energy system—where combustion, sound, and subtle vibrations from the mantras combine to purify the environment, balance atmospheric energies, and promote ecological wellbeing. Ingredients such as clarified butter (ghṛta), medicinal herbs, and aromatic woods release antimicrobial and aromatic substances upon combustion, enhancing air quality and potentially aiding in health and healing. Psychologically, the Yajña fosters mental discipline, concentration, and community bonding through collective participation. Universally, its philosophy of selfless action, offering, and transformation serves as a metaphor for sustainable living, inner purification, and the cyclic nature of creation and dissolution. In this way, the Vedic Yajña embodies a confluence of spiritual insight, ecological consciousness, and scientific awareness, making it a timeless practice relevant to both ancient wisdom and modern global challenges.

description: In seinem Bestreben, die Menschenrechte im eigenen Land zu schützen und zu fördern, steht Nepal vor zwei wesentlichen Herausforderungen: Das ist zum einen der Kampf gegen die Straflosigkeit jener, die während des zehnjährigen Konflikts seit 1996 Menschenrechtsverletzungen begangen haben. Zum anderen ist dies die Missachtung der Rechtsstaatlichkeit, die bis heute anhält. Dass der nepalische Staat Straflosigkeit anhaltend duldet, bedeutet eine beständige Bedrohung der durch die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte anerkannten „angeborenen Würde“ sowie der „gleichen und unveräußerlichen Rechte aller Bürger.“

description: BACKGROUND: The role of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) exposure in the development of allergic sensitization in children is unclear, and few birth cohort studies have incorporated spatiotemporal exposure assessment. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the association between TRAP and atopy in 1-year-old children from an ongoing national birth cohort study in four Canadian cities. METHODS: We identified 2,477 children of approximately 1 year of age with assessment of atopy for inhalant (Alternaria, Der p, Der f, cat, dog, cockroach) and food-related (milk, eggs, peanuts, soy) allergens. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was estimated from city-specific land use regression models accounting for residential mobility and temporal variability in ambient concentrations. We used mixed models to examine associations between atopy and exposure during pregnancy and the first year of life, including adjustment for covariates (maternal atopy, socioeconomic status, pets, mold, nutrition). We also conducted analyses stratified by time-location patterns, daycare attendance, and modeled home ventilation. RESULTS: Following spatiotemporal adjustment, TRAP exposure after birth increased the risk for development of atopy to any allergens [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) per 10 μg/m3 NO2 = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.41], but not during pregnancy (aOR = 1.02; 95% CI: 0.86, 1.22). This association was stronger among children not attending daycare (aOR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.28, 2.01) compared with daycare attendees (aOR = 1.05; 95% CI: 0.81, 1.28). Trends to increased risk were also found for food (aOR = 1.17; 95% CI: 0.95, 1.47) and inhalant allergens (aOR = 1.28; 95% CI: 0.93, 1.76). CONCLUSION: Using refined exposure estimates that incorporated temporal variability and residential mobility, we found that traffic-related air pollution during the first year of life was associated with atopy.
Photonic and electric control of single photon emission from individual quantum dots
Creators: name: Morozov, Sergii
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Modern single photon quantum technologies require on-demand and deterministic sources. Single photon emission has been observed from various solid state systems, such as individual molecules, defects and colour centres in diamond and 2D materials, and artificial atoms - quantum dots. However, the quantum emitters suffer from the slow radiation rate and omnidirectional emission, preventing their practical applications. First, this Thesis proposes to exploit the charged excitonic states in individual colloidal quantum dots for the enhancement of radiation rate. Electron injection to a quantum dot increases the number of de-excitation pathways, hence boosting the single photon generation speed. The optical properties of charged excitons depend drastically on the number of injected electrons, which can be controlled by applying a voltage bias in an electrochemical cell, thus providing for an active and deterministic way to manipulate the single photon emission. The charge transfer allows for a deterministic manipulation of quantum dot photodynamics, with an observed 210-fold increase of the radiation rate, accompanied by a 12-fold decrease of the emission intensity, all while preserving single-photon emission characteristics. Secondly, this Thesis proposes a 3D metal-dielectric parabolic antenna with an individual quantum dot in its focal point as a source of collimated single photons which can then be easily extracted and manipulated. Compared to conventional nano-antennas, 3D parabolic antenna design does not require near-field coupling, hence it is very robust against misalignment issues, and minimally affected by absorption in the metal. The parabolic antenna provides one of the largest reported experimental directivity (D=106) and the lowest beam divergence (13.5 deg), a broadband operation over all the visible and near-IR range, together with more than 96% extraction efficiency, offering a practical advantage for quantum technological applications.
Optical diagnostics of ultra-thin target laser-plasma interactions
Creators: name: Ditter, Emma-Jane
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis presents experimental and simulation results of the properties of the reflected and transmitted light for laser interactions with thin foils spanning the relativistic transparency and the sheath or radiation pressure acceleration regime. These diagnostics were used to obtain a better understanding of the plasma properties and its temporal evolution as it transitioned from an opaque plasma to a relativistically transparent one. For thin foils 100nm irradiated with intensities \SI{10^21}{\watt \per\centi\meter\squared} at normal incidence, the dominant ion acceleration mechanism transitions from radiation pressure acceleration to relativistic transparency as the electron density of the plasma decreases below the relativistic critical density. This transition was diagnosed in the reflected and transmitted light both through the spatial pro les and the quantity of emitted energy, and through the pulse length and instantaneous frequency of the transmitted radiation. The limit of opacity was found to be \SI{25}{\nano \meter} for the given experimental conditions. Differences between linear and circular polarisation were quantified and a study on harmonic generation on the front and rear surface was also completed. A temporal measurement of the coherent transition radiation emitted from targets >\SI{ 25}{\nano\meter} was made, measuring the lifetime of the hot electron bunch at \SI{37}{\femto\second}. These results were supported by 2D PIC simulations which allowed for further information on the electron heating and density variations to be obtained. Imaging the target's front surface during a high power laser plasma interaction is often difficult due to experimental constraints and the high levels of fluence. However, by capturing the near field of the reflected light, an image of the front surface can be inferred through the Fourier transform. In this thesis, the front surface of a target irradiated at 45 degrees with an intensity of \SI{3\times 10^21}{\watt\per\centi\meter\squared} was imaged, showing unexpected spatial variations between the first harmonic reflection and the second harmonic generation.

description: Access to and use of the Internet and other telecommunications services are rapidly becoming an increasingly common and critical part of commerce, education and social participation. Groups with little opportunity to participate in the services provided by new telecommunication technologies will be increasingly disadvantaged socially and economically. There is concern that differential access to modern communications services will create two separate classes in society: the 'information rich' that readily have access to new information sources such as the Internet and the 'information poor' that have limited or no access to the new services and are thus likely to be disadvantaged.

description: With the rising demand for ultra-low-cost and flexible electronics in applications like smart packaging and wearable health monitoring, printed electronics provide an affordable, adaptable, and customizable alternative to conventional silicon. However, these systems often rely on printed batteries or energy harvesters with limited power capacity, making strict power budgets critical. Printed neuromorphic circuits (pNCs) are promising for their analog signal processing, reduced circuit complexity, and energy efficiency in low-power environments. Nonetheless, maintaining robust performance under strict power constraints remains challenging, necessitating advanced optimization techniques. In this work, we propose an augmented Lagrangian approach to enforce task-specific power constraints in pNCs, validated across 13 benchmark datasets. Our method preserves accuracy within strict power budgets while achieving Pareto-optimal power-accuracy trade-offs in a single training run. In contrast, the penalty-based method, which serves as the baseline, requires up to 150 runs per dataset to generate the Pareto front. For low-power scenarios (≈ 20% of the original power), our method
demonstrates a 52× improvement in accuracy-to-power ratio over the baseline. At higher power budgets (≈ 80% of the original power), it achieves a 59× improvement, maintaining competitive performance. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves 81.82% accuracy with p-tanh activation function (AF) at
high power budgets and excels with p-Clipped ReLU AF under low power constraints. This highlights the computational efficiency and effectiveness of our approach for power-constrained circuit
design.

Measuring mineral dissolution kinetics using on-line flow-through time resolved analysis (FT-TRA) : an exploratory study with forsterite
Creators: name: De Baere, Bart
name: François, Roger
name: Mayer, K. Ulrich
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: We explore the applicability of on-line flow-through time-resolved analysis (FT-TRA) to measure mineral dissolution rates, determine dissolution rate parameters, and monitor dissolution stoichiometry under both constant and transient eluent conditions. A custom-built automated flow-through system is used to subject mineral samples to controlled eluent flows of constant or varying composition, and the dissolution products aremeasured online with a quadrupole ICP–MS. Because forsterite dissolution has been extensively studied, this mineral provides an ideal benchmark to test the approach. FT-TRA has several advantages compared to the mixed-flow reactors conventionally used to measure mineral dissolution. The mineral dissolution regime (surface vs transport-controlled) can be readily established prior to conducting dissolution experiments, which is important if the goal of the experiment is to determine dissolution rate parameters. Because of the small volume (25 μL) of the flow-through reactor, the time to reach steady state concentration in the effluent is shorter and is limited by the intrinsic properties of the mineral, instead of the residence time of the effluent in the reactor. For minerals reaching steady-state dissolution rapidly, dissolution rate parameters (rate constant(s) and reaction order(s)) are established in a fewhours, allowing for replications, statistical analysis of the results, and investigation of the underlying causes of variability. The experimental set-up can be adapted for minerals that require longer periods of time to reach steady-state dissolution. In addition, FTTRA lends itself particularlywell for detailed monitoring of dissolution rates and dissolution stoichiometry under transient conditions. For forsterite dissolution under acidic conditions, preferential release ofMg when pH transits to lower values, and preferential release of Siwhen pH transits to higher values is clearly documented and can be interpreted as indicating changes in the mean depth of the Si-rich surface layer in response to changes in eluent acidity. Episodes of exfoliation of the Si-rich surface layer can also be identified, providing a means to study one of the potential rate limiting steps for CO2 sequestration by carbonation of olivine. The results presented here indicate that FT-TRAwith online ICP–MS analysis could be a useful andmultifaceted addition to the toolbox available to study mineral dissolution.
Full waveform inversion of narrow-azimuth towed-streamer seismic data
Creators: name: Kalinicheva, Tatiana
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Full waveform inversion (FWI) is a computational scheme that produces high-fidelity, high-resolution models of the Earth's subsurface from surface seismic data. FWI has become a standard tool in velocity-model building and performs well on full-azimuth long-offset ocean-bottom seismic datasets. However, the majority of marine seismic datasets use narrow-azimuth towed streamers (NATS) which often lack long-offset refracted energy. Here I explore the capability of conventional FWI when it is applied to marine deep-water reflection-dominated NATS field data. I applied FWI to three datasets: the first used a deep-towed 10-km cable and was specifically acquired for 2D FWI; the other two datasets were both 3D reflection-dominated surveys to which FWI had been previously applied with limited success - these datasets were from Gabon and Brazil, and were chosen specifically because FWI had been previously tried and had failed. Applying FWI to these datasets, I reached the following conclusions: 1) When the input data have adequate turning energy and adequate low-frequency energy, acoustic anisotropic FWI can generate accurate high-resolution velocity models of increasing complexity and resolution up to about 40 Hz. 2) Extending FWI to the full bandwidth of the field data produces minimal further change in the macro-velocity model, but nonetheless continues to improve resolution up to and perhaps beyond that which can be recovered by conventional Kirchhoff-based pre-stack depth migration. 3) Applying 2D and full-3D FWI to a single 2D sail line produces similar outcomes. 4) The Gabon dataset proved almost entirely resistant to FWI; the available evidence suggests that the nominally-raw field data were corrupt in some unknown way. 5) The Brazilian dataset was inverted using a third-party FWI code that assumed constant density; this assumption is detrimental to FWI.
Hybridizable compatible finite element discretizations for numerical weather prediction: implementation and analysis
Creators: name: Gibson, Thomas Hill
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: There is a current explosion of interest in new numerical methods for atmospheric modeling. A driving force behind this is the need to be able to simulate, with high efficiency, large-scale geophysical flows on increasingly more parallel computer systems. Many current operational models, including that of the UK Met Office, depend on orthogonal meshes, such as the latitude-longitude grid. This facilitates the development of finite difference discretizations with favorable numerical properties. However, such methods suffer from the ``pole problem," which prohibits the model to make efficient use of a large number of computing processors due to excessive concentration of grid-points at the poles. Recently developed finite element discretizations, known as ``compatible" finite elements, avoid this issue while maintaining the key numerical properties essential for accurate geophysical simulations. Moreover, these properties can be obtained on arbitrary, non-orthogonal meshes. However, the efficient solution of the resulting discrete systems depend on transforming the mixed velocity-pressure (or velocity-pressure-buoyancy) system into an elliptic problem for the pressure. This is not so straightforward within the compatible finite element framework due to inter-element coupling. This thesis supports the proposition that systems arising from compatible finite element discretizations can be solved efficiently using a technique known as ``hybridization." Hybridization removes inter-element coupling while maintaining the desired numerical properties. This permits the construction of sparse, elliptic problems, for which fast solver algorithms are known, using localized algebra. We first introduce the technique for compatible finite element discretizations of simplified atmospheric models. We then develop a general software abstraction for the rapid implementation and composition of hybridization methods, with an emphasis on preconditioning. Finally, we extend the technique for a new compatible method for the full, compressible atmospheric equations used in operational models.

description: বাংলাদেশ বিশ্বের সপ্তম জনবহুল দেশ এবং ২০৫০ সালের মধ্যে দেশের জনসংখ্যা প্রায় দ্বিগুণ হবে বলে আশা করা হচ্ছে। এদেশের সংক্রামক ব্যাধির ক্রমবর্ধমান বোঝা দ্রুত নগরায়ণের জন্য দায়ী হতে পারে এবং দেশের প্রায় ৫০% বস্তিবাসী ঢাকা বিভাগে বাস করেন। ২০১৭ সালে, আইইডিসিআর রোগের প্রাদুর্ভাবের ২৬ টি ঘটনা তদন্ত করেছে। এই বিশ্বব্যাপী সঙ্কটের মাঝে দ্রুত ছড়িয়ে পড়া ভাইরাস দ্বারা আক্রান্ত ২৫টি সবচেয়ে ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ দেশগুলির মধ্যে বাংলাদেশকে চিহ্নিত করা হয়েছে। বাংলাদেশে এখন বেশিরভাগ মানুষ রোগটি সম্পর্কে সচেতন, যার অর্থ তারা জানেন যে এই রোগটি যে কারও হতে পারে, এমনকি মৃত্যুর কারণও হতে পারে। এরই মাঝে ২৫ এপ্রিল নাগাদ কোভিড-19 এর উপস্থিতি ৬৪ জেলার মধ্যে ৬৩টিতে নিশ্চিত হয়ে গেছে। প্রকোপজনিত উদ্বেগের মধ্যেও লকডাউন চলাকালীন পোশাক শ্রমিকরা তাদের পারিশ্রমিকের দাবিতে রাস্তায় বেরিয়ে এসেছিলেন। এছাড়াও রাজধানীর অভ্যন্তরে ও বাইরে, মুদ্রণ এবং অনলাইন মিডিয়া, উভয় মাধ্যমেই জনসাধারণের অপ্রয়োজনীয় জমায়েত করা, আড্ডা দেয়া, উদ্দেশ্য ছাড়াই ঘোরাঘুরি করা ইত্যাদির মতো আরও কয়েকটি লকডাউন-লঙ্ঘনের খবর পাওয়া যায়। কোভিড-১৯ এর প্রাদুর্ভাবের ঠিক আগে আমরা আশাবাদী ছিলাম যে কোনোভাবে অর্থনৈতিক সূচকগুলির হতাশাজনক প্রবণতা থেকে ঘুরে দাঁড়াতে পারবো। কিন্তু সমস্ত আশা ধুলিস্যাত করে দিয়ে পোশাক খাতে তৈরি পণ্যের জাতীয় ও বিশ্বব্যাপী চাহিদা হ্রাসের কারণে সৃষ্ট বেকারত্ব এই অর্থনীতিকে আরও গভীর ভাবে গ্রাস করেছে। এর সাথে যোগ হয়েছে প্রবাসী শ্রমিকদের দেশে ফিরে আসা। যাইহোক, স্বাস্থ্য ও অন্যান্য সুরক্ষার দিক থেকে কিছু প্রাথমিক পদক্ষেপ গ্রহণের মাধ্যমে আমরা এই মহামারী পরিস্তিতিকে অনেকখানি পরিবর্তন করতে পারি ।

description: BACKGROUND: Although suicide is a known leading cause of death among street youth, few prospective studies have explored childhood experiences as risk factors for future suicide attempt in this population. We examined the risk of attempted suicide in relation to childhood maltreatment among street youth. METHODS: From September 2005 to November 2013, data were collected from the At Risk Youth Study (ARYS), a prospective cohort of street youth in Vancouver, Canada. Inclusion criteria were age 14 to 26 years, past-month illicit drug use, and street involvement. Participants completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, an instrument measuring self-reported sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and physical and emotional neglect. Suicide attempts were assessed semiannually. Using Cox regression, we examined the association between the 5 types of maltreatment and suicide attempts. RESULTS: Of 660 participants, 68.2% were male and 24.6% were Aboriginal. Median age was 21.5 years. The prevalence of moderate to extreme childhood maltreatment ranged from 16.8% (sexual abuse) to 45.2% (emotional abuse). Participants contributed 1841 person-years, with suicide attempts reported by 35 (5.3%) individuals (crude incidence density: 1.9 per 100 person-years; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4–2.6 per 100 person-years). In adjusted analyses, types of maltreatment associated with suicide attempts included physical abuse (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 4.47; 95% CI: 2.12–9.42), emotional abuse (adjusted HR: 4.92; 95% CI: 2.11–11.5), and emotional neglect (adjusted HR: 3.08; 95% CI: 1.05–9.03). CONCLUSIONS: Childhood maltreatment is associated with subsequent risk of suicidal behavior among street youth. Suicide prevention efforts should be targeted toward this marginalized population and delivered from a trauma-informed perspective.

Mesh adaptation for high-order flow simulations
Creators: name: Marcon, Julian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Mesh adaptation has only been considered for high-order flow simulations in recent years and many techniques are still to be made more robust and efficient with curvilinear meshes required by these high-order methods. This thesis covers the developments made to improve the mesh generation and adaptation capabilities of the open-source spectral/hp element framework Nektar++ and its dedicated mesh utility NekMesh. This thesis first covers the generation of quality initial meshes typically required before an iterative adaptation procedure can be used. For optimal performance of the spectral/hp element method, quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes are preferred and two methods are presented to achieve this, either entirely or partially. The first method, inspired from cross field methods, solves a Laplace problem to obtain a guiding field from which a valid two-dimensional quadrilateral block decomposition can be automatically obtained. In turn, naturally curved meshes are generated. The second method takes advantage of the medial axis to generate structured partitions in the boundary layer region of three-dimensional domains. The method proves to be robust in generating hybrid high-order meshes with boundary layer aligned prismatic elements near boundaries and tetrahedral elements elsewhere. The thesis goes on to explore the adaptation of high-order meshes for the simulation of flows using a spectral/hp element formulation. First a new approach to moving meshes, referred to here as r-adaptation, based on a variational framework, is described. This new r-adaptation module is then enhanced by p-adaptation for the simulation of compressible inviscid flows with shocks. Where the flow is smooth, p-adaptation is used to benefit from the spectral convergence of the spectral/hp element methods. Where the flow is discontinuous, e.g. at shock waves, r-adaptation clusters nodes together to better capture these field discontinuities. The benefits of this dual, rp-adaptation approach are demonstrated through two-dimensional benchmark test cases.
Genetics and genomics of aortic form and function

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The thoracic aorta is a dynamic organ which adapts and remodels throughout life. Thoracic aortic size, shape and function are important contributors to both cardiovascular health and disease and risk of aortic disease. A complex interaction of environmental, genetic and haemodynamic factors is mediated by cells of the aortic wall. This thesis presents aortic phenotyping, genotyping and genome-wide associations of aortic traits in a large healthy cohort of 1218 volunteers. This is the largest study to report normal parameters for healthy thoracic aortic size, shape and function derived from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Anthropometric and cardiovascular risk factors such as age, gender, body fat mass and lipid profile are identified as significant determinants of aortic phenotype. The work suggests that cardiovascular risk factors could impair normal adaptive aortic remodelling with age. Genome-wide association studies of aortic dimensions and function identify new common variants, genes and pathways which could be important in aortic biology and cardiovascular risk. These include genes involved in cardiovascular development (eg PCDH7 and SON associated with aortic root diameter), autonomic cardiovascular responses (eg GABA receptor genes associated with aortic root diameter), fibrosis (eg ACTC1, AGTR1 associated with ascending aortic distensibility, BAMBI and MYOD associated with descending aortic distensibility) and obesity (eg ARID5B and IRX3 associated with aortic pulse wave velocity and ascending aortic area respectively). Multiple regulatory pathways including TGF-ß and IGF signalling (IGF1R, IGF2R), are identified which are associated with aortic dimensions and function. Joint trait analysis of aortic root dimensions identifies a new genome-wide significant association with TENM4, a key driver of early mesodermal development, and suggestive association with PTN, which is functionally related and plays a key role in angiogenesis. The primary analyses are complemented by exploratory assessment of rare genetic variation in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) using panel sequencing in 177 patients. Rare variants might cause, or modify phenotype in BAV, but the clinical utility of panel sequencing remains poor. A further complementary study investigates the interaction of haemodynamics with aortic cellular phenotype, using microarray assessment of aortic endothelial cell transcriptomic response to shear stress pattern. Several genes of interest in atherosclerosis and aortic disease are differentially expressed with shear stress pattern, such as FABP4, ANGPT2, FILIP1, KIT, DCHS1, TGFBR3 and LOX. This work yields new insights into aortic phenotype, identifies key loci which might determine aortic traits and explores the complex interdependence of genetics, haemodynamics and environmental variables in aortic biology.

description: The document "WDSP - Aug 2023 - Continuity of Innovation.pdf" outlines the evolution of the World Virtual School Project (WVS) into the World Digital School Project (WDSP). Initially focused on emergency continuity of instruction using online platforms, the project has broadened its scope to address contemporary challenges like cybersecurity, adolescent mental health in the digital age, and the impact of artificial intelligence on education.

The document details the project's history, its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its three new primary goals: 1) creating robust, resilient, and secure systems; 2) maintaining agility and flexibility in the face of change; and 3) building professional development to support these aims. It emphasizes collaboration, resource sharing, and ongoing conversation among international schools to navigate current and future educational technology landscapes. The document also includes recommendations for schools and technology leaders, along with resources for further exploration.
Rough PDEs and Hörmander's theorem for semilinear SPDEs

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: We investigate existence, uniqueness and regularity for local in time solutions of rough parabolic equations driven by a multiplicative noise of the form dut ´ Ltutdt “ Nputqdt ` ÿ d i“1 FiputqdXi t , where pLtqtPr0,Ts is a time-dependent family of unbounded operators acting on some scale of separable Banach spaces, while X ” pX, Xq is a two-step (non-necessarily geometric) rough path of Hölder regularity γ ą 1{3. Besides dealing with non-autonomous evolution equations, our results also allow for unbounded operations in the noise term (up to some critical loss of regularity depending on that of the rough path X). We later apply the machinery of rough paths to study the spectral properties of the Malliavin matrix of semilinear SPDEs with multiplicative noise driven by a finite-dimensional Wiener process. We show that, provided that an infinite-dimensional analogue of Hörmander’s bracket condition holds, the Malliavin matrix of the solution is an operator with dense range. In particular, we show that the laws of finite-dimensional projections of such solutions admit smooth densities with respect to Lebesgue measure. A robust pathwise solution theory for such SPDEs allows us to use a pathwise version of Norris’s lemma to work directly on the Malliavin matrix, instead of the “reduced Malliavin matrix” which is not available in this context. On our way of proving this result, we develop some new tools for the theory of rough paths like a rough Fubini theorem and a deterministic mild Itô formula for rough PDEs. Finally, as a technical tool we introduce a version of the multiplicative sewing lemma, which allows to construct the so called product integrals in infinite dimensions. We later use it to construct a semigroup analogue for the non-autonomous linear PDEs as well as show how to deduce the semigroup version of the usual sewing lemma from it.

description: Die Reise der pakistanischen Zivilgesellschaft zur Bestimmung ihrer Grenzen war und bleibt ein turbulentes Unterfangen, zurückhaltend formuliert. Sie handelt von Erkundungen unter dem Joch verschiedener diktatorischer Regime wie auch unter instabilen demokratischen Regierungen. Es sei daran erinnert, dass Pakistan und Indien, als sie 1947 entlang vermeintlicher, religiöser Scheidelinien aufgeteilt wurden, keine homogenen Nationalstaaten verkörperten, sondern Reste eines Imperiums. Sie formten sich zunächst als semi-unabhängige Herrschaften von der britischen Krone, dann als unabhängige Republiken. Auch die im Begriff Zivilgesellschaft steckende, homogene Grundannahme muss erst geschaffen werden.

description: Mit der Bonner Afghanistan-Konferenz 2011 wollte die internationale Gemeinschaft die Zivilgesellschaft Afghanistans stärken – und zwar nachdem viele wertvolle Jahre nach dem Einmarsch westlicher Truppen verstrichen waren. Doch die zivilen Helfer und Akteure des Landes bekamen keine echte Chance, das Land wieder aufzubauen und zu demokratisieren. Denn dann kamen der Teilabzug westlicher Kampftruppen, politischer Zwist im Land und Geberorganisationen, die auf perfektes Auftreten Wert legen, statt auf Engagement. Die Journalisten Adrienne Woltersdorf und Cem Sey schildern die aktuelle Situation und die vielen Verfehlungen der internationalen Gemeinschaft, der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und der Politik in Kabul.
