description: The scope of this piece of work is to reflect upon a series of past and recent publications as well as those in progress referring to innovations in architectural education which has already led and/or might lead to major shifts in future practices. This is an opportunity for the author to reflect on concepts and ideas for the future of architecture which is currently undergoing innovative developments by embracing new theories and enduring professional formation according to contemporary trends. This reflective work has been based on publication of research, including ongoing editorial work related to this topic. The author’s ideas and philosophy on human-oriented design and fractal patterns of social life has embraced dynamics of urban developments in modern and future cities. She has succeeded in considering, uniquely interpreting and further developing ideas and theories of established authors, such as Christopher Alexander’s concepts on patterns and principles of design and Nikos Salingaros’ thermodynamic models of the built environment. The author was inspired by teachers and renowned scholars in history, philosophy and practices of architecture; her own teachers’ experiences and their teaching had offered a singular momentum in her personal career path. This long process started when her teachers succeeded in placing urbanism and architecture side by side inside the Faculty of Architecture of Florence back in the 1970s. Hence the author reflects not only on recent publications, but also on others that have been published in the last decade or so. In this report it is evident that materials produced during these years have been essential and invaluable for her later endeavours in learning, teaching and the training of designers and architects in Great Britain and beyond.

description: The decay of common radioactive gases, such as radon, produces stable isotopes by a sequence of daughter particles with varied half-lives. These daughter particles are a significant source of gamma, neutron, and alpha particle backgrounds that can mimic desired signals in dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. In the LUMINA Laboratory at Southern Methodist University (SMU), studies of radon plate-out onto copper samples are conducted using one of XIA's first five UltraLo 1800 alpha counters. We present results from investigations into various mitigation approaches. A custom-built copper holder (in either plastic or metal) has been designed and produced to maximize the copper's exposure to 220Rn. The 220Rn source is a collection of camping lantern mantles. We present the current status of control and experimental methods for addressing radon exposure levels.

description: Neutrons produced by the carbon fusion reaction 12C(12C,n)23Mg play an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis. However, past studies have shown large discrepancies between experimental data and theory, leading to an uncertain cross section extrapolation at astrophysical energies. We present the first direct measurement that extends deep into the astrophysical energy range along with a new and improved extrapolation technique based on experimental data from the mirror reaction 12C(12C,p)23Na. The new reaction rate has been determined with a well-defined uncertainty that exceeds the precision required by astrophysics models. Using our constrained rate, we find that 12C(12C,n)23Mg is crucial to the production of Na and Al in Pop-III Pair Instability Supernovae. It also plays a non-negligible role in the production of weak s-process elements as well as in the production of the important galactic gamma-ray emitter 60Fe.

description: We investigate a large class of infinitesimal, but fully nonlinear in the field, transformations of the Galileon and search for extended symmetries. The transformations involve powers of the coordinates $x$ and the field $π$ up to any finite order $N$. Up to quadratic order the structure of these symmetry transformations is the unique generalisation of both the infinitesimal version of the standard Galileon shift symmetry as well as a recently discovered infinitesimal extension of this symmetry. The only higher-order extensions of this symmetry we recover are (`Galileon dual' versions of) symmetries of the standard kinetic term.

description: We report the effect of epitaxial strain on the magnitude and retention of the ferroelectric field effect in high quality PbZr$_{0.3}$Ti$_{0.7}$O$_3$ (PZT)/3.8-4.3 nm Sm$_{0.5}$Nd$_{0.5}$NiO$_3$ (SNNO) heterostructures grown on (001) LaAlO$_3$ (LAO) and SrTiO$_3$ (STO) substrates. For SNNO on LAO, which exhibits a first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT), switching the polarization of PZT induces a 10 K shift in the transition temperature $T_{MI}$, with a maximum resistance change between the on and off states of $Δ$$R$/$R_{on}$ ~75%. In sharp contrast, only up to 5% resistance change has been induced in SNNO on STO, where the MIT is second-order, with the modulation of $T_{MI}$ negligibly small. We also observe thermally activated retention of the off state resistance $R_{off}$ in both systems, with the activation energy of 22 meV (28 meV) for devices on LAO (STO). The time dynamics and thermal response of the field effect instability points to phonon-assisted interfacical trapping of charged mobile defects, which are attributed to strain induced oxygen vacancies. At room temperature, $R_{off}$ stabilizes at ~55% and ~19% of the initial switching levels for SNNO on LAO and STO, respectively, reflecting the significantly different oxygen vacancy densities in these two systems. Our results reveal the critical role of strain in engineering and modeling the complex oxide composite structures for nanoelectronic and spintronic applications.

Beyond gauge theory: Hilbert space positivity and causal localization in the presence of vector mesons

description: The Hilbert space formulation of interacting $s=1$ vector-potentials stands in an interesting contrast with the point-local Krein space setting of gauge theory. Already in the absence of interactions the Wilson loop in a Hilbert space setting has a "topological property" which is missing in the gauge theoretic description (Haag duality, Aharonov-Bohm effect); the conceptual differences increase in the presence of interactions. The Hilbert space positivity weakens the causal localization properties if interacting fields which results in the replacement of the gauge-variant point-local matter fields in Krein space by string-local physical fields in Hilbert space. The gauge invariance of the perturbative S-matrix corresponds to its independence of the spacelike string direction of its interpolating.fields. In contrast to gauge theory, whose physical range is limited to gauge invariant perturbative S-matrix and local observables, its Hilbert space string-local counterpart in is a full-fledged quantum field theory. The new setting reveals that the Lie-structure of self-coupled vector mesons results from perturbative implementation of the causal localization principles of QFT.

description: We study the Dalitz plot of the Cabibbo-favored charmed-meson decay $D^+\to K^-π^+π^+$ using dispersion theory. The formalism respects all constraints from analyticity and unitarity, and consistently describes final-state interactions between all three decay products. We employ pion-pion and pion-kaon phase shifts as input, and fit the pertinent subtraction constants to Dalitz plot data by the CLEO and FOCUS collaborations. Phase motions of resonant as well as nonresonant amplitudes are discussed, which should provide crucial input for future studies of CP violation in similar three-body charm decays.

description: This PhD study suggested and validated a systematic approach to identify and correct the urban illicit discharge issues in the separated stormwater sewer network of our cities. The proposed approach is fully supported by the modern low-cost sensing and large volume water sampling techniques. By having a same amount of budget, the proposed systematic approach introduces better spatial and temporal detection coverage than the conventional method, which successfully found more potential illicit discharge sources.
Observational consequences of turbulent pressure in the envelopes of massive stars

description: The major mass fraction of the envelope of hot luminous stars is radiatively stable. However, the partial ionisation of hydrogen, helium and iron gives rise to extended sub-surface convection zones in all of them. In this work, we investigate the effect of the pressure induced by the turbulent motion in these zones based on the mixing length theory, and search for observable consequences. We find that the turbulent pressure fraction can amount up to ~5% in OB supergiants, and to ~30% in cooler supergiants. The resulting structural changes are, however, not significantly affecting the evolutionary tracks compared to previous calculations. Instead, a comparison of macroturbulent velocities derived from high quality spectra of OB stars with the turbulent pressure fraction obtained in corresponding stellar models reveals a strong correlation of these two quantities. We discuss a possible physical connection, and conclude that turbulent pressure fluctuations may drive high-order oscillations, which - as conjectured earlier - manifest themselves as macroturbulence in the photospheres of hot luminous stars.

description: The scholarly communication crisis has been a chronic problem affecting libraries and publishing for the last quarter century. The current transition into a new information age presents a new set of concerns with the proliferation of electronic resources. Digital preservation, or the archiving of electronic resources for preservation and access, is an issue that must be resolved to ensure the retention of human heritage in perpetuity. This paper explores the potential role of consortia in digital preservation. An overview of the status of digital preservation precedes an examination of the consortial licensing landscape. A case study of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), a consortium beginning to address digital preservation concerns, license agreements explores the presence, content, and provisions of archival statements. Based on the results and current digital preservation environment, this paper concludes with a proposed method for a successful consortial digital preservation project.

description: We present the C++ program library mr that allows us to reliably calculate the values of the running parameters in the Standard Model at high energy scales. The initial conditions are obtained by relating the running parameters in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ renormalization scheme to observables at lower energies with full two-loop precision. The evolution is then performed in accordance with the renormalization group equations with full three-loop precision. Pure QCD corrections to the matching and running are included through four loops. We also provide a Mathematica interface for this program library.

description: Man's industrial, agricultural, and economic activities, as well as some natural factors, have both direct and indirect negative effects on the environment, resulting in very unpleasant environmental reactions. Blizzards, tornadoes, wildfires, solar flares, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, ozone depletion, and other natural disasters have become common occurrences around the world. Worrying is the uncontrollable rise in human population, which is accompanied by an increase in the rate of environmental exploitation. Environmental Education, among other technologies and innovations, has been proposed to provide replicable solutions to pressing environmental concerns, which necessitate an understanding of their causes and effects, as well as the cooperation of all. The sensitivity and necessity of Environmental Education in the Covid-19 era, particularly as it relates to safe and sustainable human-environment relationships, necessitate the use of effective, vibrant, and very captivating tools in designing and conveying its message, in order to capture and sustain the target audience's attention while the intended message is communicated. With reference to the above background, this paper explored the utilization of Doodly software for designing engaging multimedia packages for effective environmental education in the covid-19 era by considering related literatures to effectively achieve the outlined objectives.

description: The conventional Skyrme interaction is generalized by adding zero-range charge-symmetry-breaking and charge-independence-breaking terms, and the corresponding energy density functional is derived. It is shown that the extended model accounts for experimental values of mirror and triplet displacement energies (MDEs and TDEs) in sd-shell isospin triplets with, on average, about 100~keV precision using only two additional adjustable coupling constants. Moreover, the model is able to reproduce, for the first time, the A=4n versus A=4n+2 staggering of the TDEs.

description: This thesis presents the development of a computational approach for modelling retaining wall failure from earthquakes. The Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian Finite Element method is employed to model large deformation behaviour. Complex soil behaviour is captured using advanced constitutive models. An uncoupled hydromechanical model is employed to assess porewater pressure build-up and dissipation from cyclic loading of soils. The proposed computational approach is validated by performing a number of experimental studies, namely a granular column collapse experiment, a bearing capacity experiment, a segmental retaining wall collapse experiment, a seismic slope experiment and case study of a retaining wall during an earthquake.

description: Disformally coupled, light scalar fields arise in many of the theories of dark energy and modified gravity that attempt to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe. They have proved difficult to constrain with precision tests of gravity because they do not give rise to fifth forces around static non-relativistic sources. However, because the scalar field couples derivatively to standard model matter, measurements at high energy particle colliders offer an effective way to constrain and potentially detect a disformally coupled scalar field. Here we derive new constraints on the strength of the disformal coupling from LHC run 1 data and provide a forecast for the improvement of these constraints from run 2. We additionally comment on the running of disformal and standard model couplings in this scenario under the renormalisation group flow.

It highlights that factors such as the rock structure roughness and underground stress conditions will affect the severity of failure by the amount of energy released, and establishes the correlation between these factors.

description: A geometric approach to derive the Nambu brackets for ideal two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamics is suggested. The derivation is based on two-forms with vanishing integrals in a periodic domain, and with resulting dynamics constrained by an orthogonality condition. As a result, 2D hydrodynamics with vorticity as dynamic variable emerges as a generic model, with conservation laws which can be interpreted as enstrophy and energy functionals. Generalized forms like surface quasi-geostrophy and fractional Poisson equations for the stream-function are also included as results from the derivation. The formalism is extended to a hydrodynamic system coupled to a second degree of freedom, with the Rayleigh-Bénard convection as an example. This system is reformulated in terms of constitutive conservation laws with two additive brackets which represent individual processes: a first representing inviscid 2D hydrodynamics, and a second representing the coupling between hydrodynamics and thermodynamics. The results can be used for the formulation of conservative numerical algorithms that can be employed, for example, for the study of fronts and singularities.

description: High wort β-glucan may contribute to brewery processing problems such as poor run-off, slow filtration, and unwanted haze. To investigate how β-glucanase impacts wort β-glucan throughout mashing, 10 different mashes were considered with varied temperature profiles, malt bills, and levels of malt modification. The European Brewing Congress (EBC) and Institute of Brewing (IoB) mashes were employed to compare the effects of mash conditions on enzyme activity and β-glucan content. Mashes were sampled periodically and evaluated for β-glucan concentration and β-glucanase activity using Megazyme kits adapted to the Gallery™ Plus BeerMaster Discrete Analyzer (Gallery). Enzyme activity quickly decayed in modified IoB mashes (average half-life 12.4 min) accompanied by logarithmic accumulation of wort β-glucan. IoB β-glucan percent extract ranged from 30.3% to 99.5%. In EBC mashes, a slow decay in enzyme activity was followed by an increased rate of decay after 30 min. The β-glucan concentration in well-modified samples remained steady while enzyme activity was appreciable, though it increased after 40 min. As a result, β-glucan percent extract remained relatively low, ranging from 11.9% to 34.3%. The β-glucanase activity at lower temperatures compensates for high malt β-glucan. Measuring wort β-glucan in an EBC mash is insufficient in predicting malt performance in other mash styles. Methods for β-glucan and β-glucanase analysis adapted for the Gallery autoanalyzer increased throughput, enabling analysis of the enzyme and substrate throughout mashing.

description: This thesis studies the grain-scale behaviour of crystalline rock under coupled hydro-mechanical processes. It aims to provide insights into rock micro-cracking behaviours at the presence of rock grain-scale heterogeneity and uncover the micro mechanisms. The main objectives of this thesis are (a) To identify the influence of in-situ stresses on the fluid-driven micro-cracking behaviour of crystalline rock and (b) To investigate the effect of rock grain-scale mechanical properties on the macro and micro-behaviours in hydraulic fracturing. The findings suggest that majority of shear cracks are found on the grain boundary, while tensile cracks can be found in mineral grains and on the grain boundary. The orientation of a tensile crack tends to orientate perpendicular to the minimum principle stress, while a shear crack tends to orientate towards the direction of the minimum principle stress.

description: The scattering cross sections of the unpolarized electromagnetic and gravitational waves are shown to be equal for the extreme Reissner-Nordström black hole using $N=2$ supergravity. The conversion cross sections between the unpolarized electromagnetic and gravitational waves are also shown to coincide. The gravitational and electromagnetic scattering cross sections are computed numerically for Reissner-Nordström black holes for several charge-to-mass ratios and the coincidence between the two scattering cross sections for the extremal case is confirmed.

Subjects: Transport engineering

description: Passengers are experiencing peak period crowding due to rapid urbanization in many cities. Providing real-time information is an effective way in managing crowding by informing smart travels. For example, passengers may change their departure times or adjust their routes to avoid peak crowding. Automated Fare Collection (AFC) data, recording origin and destination stations/times of passenger trips, provides opportunities to understand collective and individual mobility. The dissertation aims to develop real-time mobility prediction methods and incentives strategies for crowd management using AFC and related data. The main contents include missing data imputation, mobility pattern recognition, OD flow prediction and personalized incentives.

description: A preliminary study was undertaken to establish the potential of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) for the rapid analysis of hops. Seven varieties of pelleted hops were extracted in ethanol with ultrasound and separated with SFC using carbon dioxide modified with ethanol as the mobile phase. The major terpenes and terpenoids, as well as the alpha and beta hop acids, were separated in a single run. The injection-to-injection run time was 13 min. At the current state of development, this method provides a rapid fingerprint of an extracted hop sample. Refinement of the extraction procedures and of the chromatographic parameters can be expected to yield more detailed analytical information on both the hop acids and the hop oils.
The Use of X-Rays from Inelastic Scattering Reactions of 2-3 MeV Neutrons for Material Analysis

description: A method has been established for detecting and analyzing characteristic gamma rays promptly emitted as a result of the inelastic scattering of 3.29 MeV neutrons by nuclei. The experimental set-up designed and built for such a measurement is described. A remote controlled sample changer is used in conjunction with a measuring procedure, whereby during the course of a run, data is added into the analyzer from the sample irradiation, and subtracted from a carbon blank in alternate periods. Such data acquisition procedure is shown to lead to a satisfactory treatment of the background problem. A data reduction system is described in detail, with a photopeak integration method which is shown to give reliable and precise results in conditions of high count-rate and varying background. The measurements performed for the differential gamma emission cross-sections of 23 elements are described, and the results obtained are discussed. The excited state gamma energies observed for the elements are presented, and shown to be generally in good agreement with the known nuclear levels of the elements. A level at 1290 keV observed in Mn, although agreeing with the nuclear level diagram for the element given by some authors, was not observed by these same authors. Another level at 1640 keV observed in Bi, although close to a line at 1615 keV found by one worker, was not observed by another group of workers. The differential cross-sections, although agreeing well with some published data (e.g. Cr, Fe and Mn), are in disagreement with some other. For many elements, no data could be found in the literature for comparison. Analytical sensitivities for the 23 elements are presented in the form of sensitivities (photopeak counts per g) and detection limits (% by weight), for specified conditions of measurement. Finally, the application of the developed technique to material analysis is demonstrated on the example of some real mineral ores, and conclusions drawn about its potential uses.
