description: Exoplanet hunting efforts have revealed the prevalence of exotic worlds with diverse properties, including Earth-sized bodies, which has fueled our endeavor to search for life beyond the Solar System. Accumulating experiences in astrophysical, chemical, and climatological characterization of uninhabitable planets are paving the way to characterization of potentially habitable planets. In this paper, we review our possibilities and limitations in characterizing temperate terrestrial planets with future observational capabilities through 2030s and beyond, as a basis of a broad range of discussions on how to advance "astrobiology" with exoplanets. We discuss the observability of not only the proposed biosignature candidates themselves, but also of more general planetary properties that provide circumstantial evidence, since the evaluation of any biosignature candidate relies on their context. Characterization of temperate Earth-size planets in the coming years will focus on those around nearby late-type stars. JWST and later 30 meter-class ground-based telescopes will empower their chemical investigations. Spectroscopic studies of potentially habitable planets around solar-type stars will likely require a designated spacecraft mission for direct imaging, leveraging technologies that are already being developed and tested as part of the WFIRST mission. Successful initial characterization of a few nearby targets will be an important touchstone toward a more detailed scrutiny and a larger survey that are envisioned beyond 2030. The broad outlook this paper presents may help develop new observational techniques to detect relevant features as well as frameworks to diagnose planets based on the observables.

description: Security surveillance is one of the most important issues in smart cities, especially in an era of terrorism. Deploying a number of (video) cameras is a common surveillance approach. Given the never-ending power offered by vehicles to metropolises, exploiting vehicle traffic to design camera placement strategies could potentially facilitate security surveillance. This article constitutes the first effort toward building the linkage between vehicle traffic and security surveillance, which is a critical problem for smart cities. We expect our study could influence the decision making of surveillance camera placement, and foster more research of principled ways of security surveillance beneficial to our physical-world life.

description: Standard neuroimaging data analysis based on traditional principles of experimental design, modelling, and statistical inference is increasingly complemented by novel analysis methods, driven e.g. by machine learning methods. While these novel approaches provide new insights into neuroimaging data, they often have unexpected properties, generating a growing literature on possible pitfalls. We propose to meet this challenge by adopting a habit of systematic testing of experimental design, analysis procedures, and statistical inference. Specifically, we suggest to apply the analysis method used for experimental data also to aspects of the experimental design, simulated confounds, simulated null data, and control data. We stress the importance of keeping the analysis method the same in main and test analyses, because only this way possible confounds and unexpected properties can be reliably detected and avoided. We describe and discuss this Same Analysis Approach in detail, and demonstrate it in two worked examples using multivariate decoding. With these examples, we reveal two sources of error: A mismatch between counterbalancing (crossover designs) and cross-validation which leads to systematic below-chance accuracies, and linear decoding of a nonlinear effect, a difference in variance. Highlights: 1. Traditional design principles can be unsuitable when combined with cross-validation; 2. This can explain both inflated accuracies and below-chance accuracies; 3. We propose the novel "same analysis approach" (SAA) for checking analysis pipelines; 4. The principle of SAA is to perform additional analyses using the same analysis; 5. SAA analysis should be performed on design variables, control data, and simulations

description: The increase in the number of researchers coupled with the ease of publishing and distribution of scientific papers (due to technological advancements) has resulted in a dramatic increase in astronomy literature. This has likely led to the predicament that the body of the literature is too large for traditional human consumption and that related and crucial knowledge is not discovered by researchers. In addition to the increased production of astronomical literature, recent decades have also brought several advancements in computational linguistics. Especially, the machine-aided processing of literature dissemination might make it possible to convert this stream of papers into a coherent knowledge set. In this paper, we present the application of computational linguistics techniques to astronomy literature. In particular, we developed a tool that will find similar articles purely based on text content from an input paper. We find that our technique performs robustly in comparison with other tools recommending articles given a reference paper (known as recommender system). Our novel tool shows the great power in combining computational linguistics with astronomy literature and suggests that additional research in this endeavor will likely produce even better tools that will help researchers cope with the vast amounts of knowledge being produced.

description: The presented thesis includes a systematic literature review, an empirical research paper, and a critical appraisal providing a reflective overview of the research process. In Chapter One, 21 studies exploring predictors of Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) in mental health professionals are subject to narrative synthesis. Factors increasing risk of STS included personal trauma history, higher levels of empathy, larger caseloads, longer working hours and higher rates of exposure to traumatised clients. Factors reducing risk of STS included use of active coping strategies, frequent and effective supervision processes, perceived psychosocial support from colleagues and family/friends, and positive psychological affect. Findings are discussed in relation to the work-related stress literature, with clinical implications relevant for professionals and their employers provided. Chapter Two details a study adopting a grounded theory methodology to explore the experiences of leaders across health, social care and education settings. Specifically, leaders are interviewed surrounding their experiences moving organisations towards trauma- informed culture change. The model constructed outlines three processes of leader-driven change, including “starting from within”, a process of leader self-exploration, “working with the threat response”, an approach to recognising and meeting the needs of stakeholders during change, and “rewriting historical cultural norms”, a commitment to dismantling hierarchical, power-led approaches used previously, in order to bring teams and services together towards shared goals. The model is discussed in relation to psychological theory before clinical implications and future research directions are considered. Chapter Three provides a reflective overview of the research process as a whole, including the reasons for selecting this topic area, further consideration of epistemology and reflexivity, recognition of challenges and further detail surrounding key decisions made.

description: An inner de Sitter region is glued smoothly and consistently with an outer Reissner-Nordström (RN) spacetime on a spherical thin-shell. Mass and charge of the outer RN spacetime are defined by the de Sitter and shell parameters. Radius of the shell plays the role of a cut-off which by virtue of regular de Sitter inside removes the singularity at $r=0.$ The topology of inner de Sitter with the radius of the thin-shell becomes compact. For stability the perturbed shell is shown to satisfy a modified polytropic equation of state which has vanishing mass and pressure on the unperturbed shell as dictated by the junction conditions.

description: During 1969 the opportunity arose, of examining and measuring No. 7, Britannia Street, Shepshed, which was later, during the summer of 1971, to be demolished. The sound construction, finish and style of the original building imply that the first occupants were people of some local importance. The house stood parallel to the street, and well above it, being built on the street side, upon a rubble plinth necessitated by the fall of the ground from back to front. The building dated possibly from early in the sixteenth century as a three-bay structure, of which only 'the two 16 ft. bays survived that had formed the open hall.

description: Geographic structure can affect patterns of genetic differentiation and speciation rates. In this article, we investigate the dynamics of genetic distances in a geographically structured metapopulation. We model the metapopulation as a weighted directed graph, with d vertices corresponding to d subpopulations that evolve according to an individual based model. The dynamics of the genetic distances is then controlled by two types of transitions -mutation and migration events. We show that, under a rare mutation - rare migration regime, intra subpopulation diversity can be neglected and our model can be approximated by a population based model. We show that under a large population - large number of loci limit, the genetic distance between two subpopulations converges to a deterministic quantity that can asymptotically be expressed in terms of the hitting time between two random walks in the metapopulation graph. Our result shows that the genetic distance between two subpopulations does not only depend on the direct migration rates between them but on the whole metapopulation structure.

description: Generative models estimate the underlying distribution of a dataset to generate realistic samples according to that distribution. In this paper, we present the first membership inference attacks against generative models: given a data point, the adversary determines whether or not it was used to train the model. Our attacks leverage Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), which combine a discriminative and a generative model, to detect overfitting and recognize inputs that were part of training datasets, using the discriminator's capacity to learn statistical differences in distributions. We present attacks based on both white-box and black-box access to the target model, against several state-of-the-art generative models, over datasets of complex representations of faces (LFW), objects (CIFAR-10), and medical images (Diabetic Retinopathy). We also discuss the sensitivity of the attacks to different training parameters, and their robustness against mitigation strategies, finding that defenses are either ineffective or lead to significantly worse performances of the generative models in terms of training stability and/or sample quality.

description: The Ashby Canal was authorised in 1795, but its history goes back to 1781. A few years earlier, in 1777, the great Trent & Mersey or Grand Trunk Canal had been built from the mouth of the River Derwent below Derby to Preston Brook on the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal, which gave access to Manchester and Liverpool. This canal had by-passed the much older River Trent Navigation up the river itself as far as Burton, and from its opening there was strong competition between the older river company and the newer canal. From this Grand Trunk two other canals had been projected which between them would connect it to the Thames at Oxford, and so to London: the Coventry Canal from the Grand Trunk at Fradley to Coventry; and the Oxford Canal from the Coventry at Long-ford near that town to Oxford. In 1781 both had for some years lain uncompleted, though useful up to a point, the Coventry built only from that town to Atherstone, and the Oxford from Longford to Banbury.

description: The presence of an isotropic tricritical Lifshitz point for the O(N) scalar theory is investigated in the 1/N expansion by means of the Functional Renormalization Group equations. At leading order, the non-trivial Lifshitz point is observed if the number of dimensions d is taken between d=4 and d=8, and the eigenvalue spectrum of the associated eigendirections is derived. At order 1/N, the anomalous dimension eta_N is computed and it is found to vanish both in d=4 and d=8, while it turns out to be positive between these two values, although strongly dependent on the choice of infrared regulator.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 90, 157-176
description: Since its arrival in England, never did Christianity undergo such a transformation as that of the Reformation. By the end of the sixteenth century the official presence of Catholicism had almost entirely disappeared in favour of Protestantism, the permanent establishment of which is still the institutional state religion. This transformation, instigated and imposed on the population by a political elite, had a massive impact on the lives of those who endured it. In fact, the progression of these religious developments depended on the compliance of the English people, which in some regions was often absent. Indeed, consideration must be given to the impact of the Reformation on these localities and social groups, in which conservatism and nostalgia for the traditional faith remained strong. In spite of this, the gradual acceptance of Protestantism by the majority over time allowed its imposition and the permanent establishment of the Church of England. Leicestershire is a county in which significant changes took place. This paper examines these changes and their impact on, and gradual acceptance by, the various religious orders, secular clergy, and the laity in the town and county. Important time and geographical comparisons will be drawn in consideration of the overall impact of the Reformation, and the extent to which both clergy and laity conformed to the religious changes imposed on them, and managed to retain their religious devotion in the process.

description: A natural question about Quantum Field Theory is whether there is a deformation to a trivial gapped phase. If the underlying theory has an anomaly, then symmetric deformations can never lead to a trivial phase. We discuss such discrete anomalies in Abelian Higgs models in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. We emphasize the role of charge conjugation symmetry in these anomalies; for example, we obtain nontrivial constraints on the degrees of freedom that live on a domain wall in the VBS phase of the Abelian Higgs model in 2+1 dimensions. In addition, as a byproduct of our analysis, we show that in 1+1 dimensions the Abelian Higgs model is dual to the Ising model. We also study variations of the Abelian Higgs model in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions where there is no dynamical particle of unit charge. These models have a center symmetry and additional discrete anomalies. In the absence of a dynamical unit charge particle, the Ising transition in the 1+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model is removed. These models without a unit charge particle exhibit a remarkably persistent order: we prove that the system cannot be disordered by either quantum or thermal fluctuations. Equivalently, when these theories are studied on a circle, no matter how small or large the circle is, the ground state is non-trivial.

Nonconformists in Leicestershire in 1669

Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 25, 98-143
description: To attempt a picture of early Nonconformity in Leicestershire from local materials alone would not be a rewarding project. All too often the records of the chapels and meeting-houses themselves do not begin until the very end of the seventeenth century; and the records of Quarter Sessions and the Archdeaconry Court provide information that is, on the whole, fragmentary and haphazard. Fortunately there survive on a national scale three sets of records which provide the essential foundation for studying Nonconformity in Charles II's reign. The first consists of the inquiry about con-venticles which Archbishop Sheldon ordered in 1669: the second of the religious census he ordered in 1676: the third of the licences granted to Nonconformists following the Declaration of Indulgence in 1672. Of these, the first, the return of 1669, is the most compre-hensive and most valuable; and with it this article is concerned. The return itself was printed and thoroughly analysed nearly forty years ago. But there survives for Leicestershire another version of this return which is much more full and reliable and has not previously been published. It is printed below (pp. 121-43). This introduction will consider the relation between the two versions; attempt to collate them and to estimate the value of the one in the light of the other; and indicate briefly what new evidence the fuller version provides and in what way it can add to our understanding of early Nonconformity in Leicestershire.
The Quakers of Leicestershire, 1660-1714

description: The history of the Quakers in the seventeenth century, in this county as elsewhere, may conveniently be divided into two parts. Each of these parts bore a distinct character. The first was a period of missionary expansion, often marked by the excesses of language and action that accompany new-born enthusiasm. By contrast the second part was a period of defensive consolidation, when the Quakers were struggling to preserve their existence, threatened by penal laws. The keynote of the first was individualism; of the second, organisation; and in the process of transition the character of the Quakers was transformed. When Charles II was restored "the people in scorn called Quakers" were regarded generally as revolu-tionary fanatics, classed with dangerous company like the Fifth Monarchy men and Ranters. Such disorderly, ill-disciplined persons could not be treated as respectable members of society: they were too apt to disturb church services with unseemly harangues, walk naked through the streets, and hold strange rdigious jamborees in remote places like Swannington. When the century ended their manners and repute were quite changed. Then the Quakers, or Society of Friends as they called themselves, formed perhaps the most respectable and orderly community of the country, peace-loving and, except on certain points of conscience, law-abiding, noted for their sobriety and industry and charity, honoured for the integrity of their word, leading a life of disciplined morality.

description: In this paper we prove that every Stein manifold $S$ admits a proper holomorphic immersion into any Stein manifold $X$ of dimension $2\mathrm{dim}S$ enjoying the density property or the volume density property. The case $\mathrm{dim}S=1$ was proved beforehand by Andrist and Wold (Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble), 64(2):681-697, 2014). This result generalizes the classical theorem of Bishop and Narasimhan for immersions to $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $n=2\mathrm{dim}S$, and it complements the proper embedding theorem proved by Andrist et al. when $\mathrm{dim}X>2\mathrm{dim}S$ (J.

The Biggs Family of Leicester

description: Outside Leicester, oblivion has indeed absorbed the reputation of the Biggs family; few, apart from professional historians, are likely to be aware of the leading part the family took in the political and commercial life of this town between the two � Reform Acts. Connoisseurs of our local history will, no doubt, have picked up the four references made to the family in the Life of Thomas Cooper, the Chartist, and will certainly be aware of the frequency with which they are mentioned in the relevant chapters of the Victoria History of the County of Leicester, and the valuable pages of A. Temple Patterson's Radical Leicester. Yet, in the minds of the general public, even in Leicester, the name of Biggs is probably preserved from the "Lethaean gulphs" not by anything "recorded in historic page", but by more solid and demonstrative evidence-that of a public monument, the statue of John Biggs, which looks out over Welford Place as it did when first unveiled nearly one hundred years ago.

description: Grid states form a discrete set of mixed quantum states that can be described by graphs. We characterize the entanglement properties of these states and provide methods to evaluate entanglement criteria for grid states in a graphical way. With these ideas we find bound entangled grid states for two-particle systems of any dimension and multiparticle grid states that provide examples for the different aspects of genuine multiparticle entanglement. Our findings suggest that entanglement theory for grid states, although being a discrete set, has already a complexity similar to the one for general states.

Mba Abogo's collection of short stories and poems El porteador de Marlow. Canción negra sin color (2007). It discusses how these texts reflect the experience of alienness and exclusion lived by the Black diasporic subject in a "white" European society, unsilencing a marginalized perspective on African migration to and presence in Europe. Moreover, the essay proposes a reading of the extensive network of references to Black history, knowledge systems, and intertexts evoked throughout the collection as offering a way to transcend the Black diasporic subject's isolation and to connect to a shared and ongoing history of oppression, displacement, and marginalization on the one hand but of agency, resistance, and self-empowerment on the other.

description: The recognition of actions from video sequences has many applications in health monitoring, assisted living, surveillance, and smart homes. Despite advances in sensing, in particular related to 3D video, the methodologies to process the data are still subject to research. We demonstrate superior results by a system which combines recurrent neural networks with convolutional neural networks in a voting approach. The gated-recurrent-unit-based neural networks are particularly well-suited to distinguish actions based on long-term information from optical tracking data; the 3D-CNNs focus more on detailed, recent information from video data. The resulting features are merged in an SVM which then classifies the movement. In this architecture, our method improves recognition rates of state-of-the-art methods by 14% on standard data sets.

description: The aim of this contribution is to analyze the linguistic practices of a migrant collective, speakers of a minoritized language, from a glottopolitical perspective. This will be illustrated by the description of the communicative practices of the migrant workers from Galicia (Spain) in Hanover (Federal Republic of Germany) in the 1960s and beyond. In order to do so, the articulation of two specific ideologemes held by German and Spanish institutions will be examined, namely the ‘myth of return’ that surrounded the Spanish migration to the FRG and the ‘one nation, one language, one State’ triad.

description: We study almost prime solutions of systems of Diophantine equations in the Birch setting. Previous work shows that there exist integer solutions of size B with each component having no prime divisors below $B^{1/u}$, where $u=c_0n^{3/2}$, $n$ is the number of variables and $c_0$ is a constant depending on the degree and the number of equations. We improve the polynomial growth $$n^{3/2}$$ to the logarithmic $$\frac{\log n}{\log \log n}.$$ Our main new ingredients are the generalisation of the Brüdern-Fouvry vector sieve in any dimension and the incorporation of smooth weights into the Davenport-Birch version of the circle method.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 72, 146-153
description: Two brief letters, one relating to the Biggs and the other to the Paget family, are published for the first time. They provide some insights into relationships within these important business 'dynasties' of Leicester and might well be read in connection with Dinah Freer's sociological study 'The dynasty-builders of Victorian Leicester' (TLAHS, 53 1977-8). The second letter moves into wider cultural territory with the light it throws on John Paget (1811-98), police magistrate and writer. An attempt is made to set the letters in their historical context.

description: Understanding in general, and tactical understanding in particular, is an important target for coaches in children’s sport. Accordingly, this study aimed to test how one team of Under 13-14 soccer players’ depth of game understanding changed over time using a multi-methods approach with multiple data points over an 18-month time period. Players’ (n=10) experienced coaching methods aimed to enhance metacognition, which were deployed in varying doses throughout the study duration. Testing occurred on four occasions using Applied Cognitive Task Analysis (ACTA) to uncover how young players think when playing soccer, combined with a Game Understanding (GU) comparative rating scale criterion. In parallel, the players’ coaches (n=3) performed quantitative measures of GU using the criterion, and analysis deployed a repeated measures ANOVA to compare significant changes. Analysis of ACTA interviews used a deductive framework focussed on metacognitive game skills and metacognitive strategy. Our results clearly show that players’ depth of understanding significantly improved during and post exposure to coaching methods which sought to enhance metacognition. Post the initial intervention, understanding improved at a steady but not significant rate. Qualitative findings showed that players’ metacognition became more sophisticated as time went on, with a particular improvement in strategising based upon their team mates and the opponent’s capabilities. Overall, this study shows that young soccer players are capable of both using metacognition when playing, and developing their metacognition over time.

Engendering familial citizens: Serial-viewing among middle-class women in urban India
Creators: name: Mahadevan, Mahalakshmi
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is a study of serial viewing among women in middle-families in two Indian cities carried out in 2007. It explores women’s engagement with a new brand of serial narratives that centralizes the traditional Hindu joint family and places women at the centre of the family as nurturer and custodian of traditional values. This return to the traditional, the thesis proposes, marks a new conjunctural moment in the evolution of Indian television. This new conjunctural moment, characterized by competitive attempts among private and transnational cable and satellite television to Indianize content, the unprecedented growth of vernacular television and consequently the national circulation of traditionally inflected serials, has come to represent the feminisation of television in India. The manner in which differentially located women engage with these narratives of idealized family and womanhood suggests certain specific gendered ways in which television mediates women’s discursive access to and performance within both family and civic space. This thesis argues that the feminisation of television in India helps extend the ideal of a familial womanhood on to the civic space, limiting women’s access to alternative, oppositional forms of civic belonging and citizenship.
Proton tunneling in hydrogen bonds and its implications in an induced-fit model of enzyme catalysis

description: The role of proton tunneling in biological catalysis is investigated here within the frameworks of quantum information theory and thermodynamics. We consider the quantum correlations generated through two hydrogen bonds between a substrate and a prototypical enzyme that first catalyzes the tautomerization of the substrate to move on to a subsequent catalysis, and discuss how the enzyme can derive its catalytic potency from these correlations. In particular, we show that classical changes induced in the binding site of the enzyme spreads the quantum correlations among all of the four hydrogen-bonded atoms thanks to the directionality of hydrogen bonds. If the enzyme rapidly returns to its initial state after the binding stage, the substrate ends in a new transition state corresponding to a quantum superposition. Open quantum system dynamics can then naturally drive the reaction in the forward direction from the major tautomeric form to the minor tautomeric form without needing any additional catalytic activity. We find that in this scenario the enzyme lowers the activation energy so much that there is no energy barrier left in the tautomerization, even if the quantum correlations quickly decay.
