Astrochemistry of Galactic regions: living ALMA, preparing SKA
Creators: name: Codella, Claudio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Astrochemistry of Galactic regions is living a golden age. More specifically, the study of the so-called interstellar Complex Organic Molecules (iCOMs, mainly O-bearing species with at least 6 atoms), considered the simplest bricks needed to have pre-biotic environments, has benefited of recent improvements of observational tools. On the one hand, single-dish spectral surveys withtelescopes observing at cm-wavelengths (mainly GBT, and Yebes), once equipped with improvedbackends, increased the number of complex species detected in the interstellar medium (ISM). Onthe other hand, the advent of the ALMA (sub-)mm interferometer, with its unique combination of high sensitivity, high angular resolution, and large spectral coverage, boosted both the detections ofiCOMs and the imaging of their spatial distributions. iCOMs are almost ubiquitous in the ISM,being observed in a wide variety of astronomical environments and physical conditions: in bothcold molecular clouds and hot regions, in the Galactic disk as well as in the Galactic Center. In this context, we will review the power of ALMA in shedding light on the chemistry atwork during the earliest phases of low-mass star formation. The role of the pre-solar chemistry inthe composition of the Solar System bodies is far to be understood. Key questions still to beaddressed are: how chemically organic complex are the volatiles delivered to the pristine planetaryatmospheres? What molecules are passed from the large-scale envelope to the disk in which planets,comets, and asteroids form? As a matter of fact, molecular complexity builds up at each step of theprocess leading to star formation, ending up in prebiotic molecules. Indeed, one of the breakthroughresults found by ALMA has been imaging iCOMs emission in protostellar and protoplanetary disks.Finally, we will also discuss the limits of ALMA observations, paradoxically due to the high spatialresolution reached: the iCOMs detection is hampered by the high-opacity continuum in the diskmidplane, i.e. the region where planets are expected to form. This is a limit of the ALMA datasetsthat further sub-mm observations will never overcome. Only high spatial resolution (< 10 au)observations at much lower frequencies, at cm-wavelengths, where the dust continuum is morelikely to be optically thin, will be able to provide the answer, paving the way to the arrival of SKA.
title: Clinical decision making in advanced practice
Creators: name: Butler, Clare

Publisher: name: Oxford Brookes University
Year: 2023

description: Introduction: The definition of advanced clinical practice explicitly includes complex decision-making, underpinned by master’s level education (HEE 2017). Decision making is a skill that combines clinical expertise, critical thinking, evidence-based knowledge, and ethical considerations to ensure high-quality, individualised, healthcare delivery. Aim: To ensure that decision making is guided by the best available evidence, advanced practitioners need to develop and refine their clinical judgment skills. A master’s level module was therefore specifically developed to equip trainee advanced practitioners with the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to interrogate and understand the complex factors that underpin decision making in the context of health and social care. Details of the project: Although inherent in existing advanced practice modules, there was limited capacity to focus on empowered decision making in any depth. The ‘Advanced Clinical Decision Making’ module aims to incorporate critical thinking into trainee advanced practitioner’s clinical decision making processes while enhancing learning in existing modules. The module will provide students with the tools and frameworks to make informed and evidence-based decisions and support them to adopt a systematic and empowered approach to delivering patient care. Students study the following topic areas: The role of data and Information; Ethical, legal and professional accountability; A systematic approach to decision-making; Conceptual and theoretical frameworks; Decisions in action. Outcomes: The module assesses the student’s ability to interrogate a decision-making process and to develop their understanding of the decision, by considering how relevant concepts and theories have been applied. Impact: Effective decision making can positively impact clinical practice by enhancing patient safety, optimising resource utilisation, increasing patient and clinician satisfaction, and improving patient outcomes. It is a fundamental aspect of high-quality healthcare delivery and contributes to the overall efficacy of timely and holistic care.

description: Let $f \colon X \to A$ be a morphism from a smooth projective variety to an abelian variety (over the field of complex numbers). We show that the sheaves $f_* ω_X^{\otimes m}$ become globally generated after pullback by an isogeny. We use this to deduce a decomposition theorem for these sheaves when $m \ge 2$, analogous to that obtained by Chen-Jiang when $m = 1$. This is in turn applied to effective results for pluricanonical linear series on irregular varieties with canonical singularities.

title: 'Base, common, and popular' : elements of the popular in contemporary Shakespearean performance
Creators: name: Purcell, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the recent upsurge in Shakespearean performances which incorporate elements of ‘the popular’. In many cases, this takes the form of an apparent restoration, taking a historically-located or text-centred ‘authentically’ popular Shakespeare as its model. In others, a more subversive attitude is implied, suggesting that popular culture might provide a challenge to Shakespeare’s perceived cultural authority. Often, these contradictory attitudes may be found existing side-by-side and incompatibly within one piece of work. Chapter One puts the term ‘popular’ itself under close scrutiny: it often has commercial connotations, but in a theatrical context it is more frequently used to signify something ‘of the people’. As this chapter shows, however, this is a problematic concept. Chapter Two analyses the use of anachronism in popular Shakespearean theatre, suggesting that it has the potential both to assimilate the past to the present unproblematically, and to disrupt the tendency to universalise. Chapter Three extends this analysis to the practice of departing from the Shakespearean text: its historical precedents, its possible ‘textual’ justifications, and its potential for transgression of the ‘sanctity’ of Shakespeare’s words. In Chapter Four, a variety of parodic appropriations and adaptations of Shakespeare are considered; I examine the numerous versions of the relationship between Shakespeare and popular culture constructed in them, and suggest the emergence of a performance trend which is characterised by intertextuality and defiant of traditional cultural hierarchies. Chapter Five examines a similar topic from the opposite angle, looking at constructions of the popular Shakespearean audience which are promoted as ‘authentic’, and deconstructing these from a materialist perspective. Chapter Six looks at the implications of theatre space on a Shakespearean production’s ‘popular’ elements, and in my conclusion I draw together the ideas about Shakespearean cultural authority and transgression which permeate the thesis.
First ALMA maps of cosmic ray ionization rate in high-mass star-forming regions
Creators: name: Sabatini, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Low-energy cosmic rays (<1 TeV) are a pivotal source of ionisation of the interstellar medium, where they play a central role in determining the chemical gas composition and, in turn, in influencing the formation of stars and planets. Observations of H3+ absorption lines in diffuse clouds -- n(H2)~102 cm−3 -- have been used for decades to provide reliable estimates of the cosmic ray ionisation rate relative to molecular hydrogen (ζH2). However, in denser clouds where stars and planets form, this method is often inefficient since H3+, similar to H2, does not emit rotational lines as it does not have a permanent electric dipole. The ζH2 estimates are, therefore, still provisional in this context, and represent one of the least understood ingredients when it comes to defining general models of star formation. Recently, a new analytical approach to estimate ζH2 in the densest regions of molecular clouds has been proposed by Bovino et al. (2020), based on observations of ortho-H2D+ as the main observational constraint to derive the amount of H3+. This has been applied by Sabatini et al. (2020) in a large sample of high-mass star-forming regions. Exploiting the exceptional observational capabilities of ALMA, in this talk I will present the first high-resolution maps of ζH2 in two massive clumps. I will present these results and the way they provide crucial constraints for the chemical/physical modelling of star-forming regions.

description: Policy iteration (PI) is a recursive process of policy evaluation and improvement for solving an optimal decision-making/control problem, or in other words, a reinforcement learning (RL) problem. PI has also served as the fundamental for developing RL methods. In this paper, we propose two PI methods, called differential PI (DPI) and integral PI (IPI), and their variants, for a general RL framework in continuous time and space (CTS), where the environment is modeled by a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The proposed methods inherit the current ideas of PI in classical RL and optimal control and theoretically support the existing RL algorithms in CTS: TD-learning and value-gradient-based (VGB) greedy policy update. We also provide case studies including 1) discounted RL and 2) optimal control tasks. Fundamental mathematical properties -- admissibility, uniqueness of the solution to the Bellman equation (BE), monotone improvement, convergence, and optimality of the solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation (HJBE) -- are all investigated in-depth and improved from the existing theory, along with the general and case studies. Finally, the proposed ones are simulated with an inverted-pendulum model and their model-based and partially model-free implementations to support the theory and further investigate them beyond.

Methanol to the rescue: estimating volume density of molecular gas
Creators: name: Giannetti, Andrea
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Estimates of volume densities (n_H2) are still very uncertain, despite being fundamental to determine the stability of molecular condensations on all scales, from clouds to cores, to protostellar- and protoplanetary disks, their energy balance, and their chemical evolution. While in principle it is easy to use molecular emission to infer the density of the emitting gas, in practice these estimates depend critically on the temperature and chemical stratification of the tracer, and on the calibration accuracy of the data. Therefore, another method has been designed as the default: the volume density is estimated from the column density of H2, derived from dust emission, using as the spatial extent along the line-of-sight the average size of the object projected on the plane of the sky. This method too is plagued by significant uncertainties. The results rest on simplistic assumptions about the geometry of the object (spherical, cylindrical, etc.), that do not even consider the observed aspect ratios on the plane of the sky, let alone the uncertainty of the gas-to-dust ratio. To overcome this impasse, we developed a new framework to estimate n_H2 from CH3OH line ratios, independently of geometry and of temperature distribution. CH3OH uniquely offers lines that are quasi-exclusively sensitive to the density and can be observed in a single tuning, removing calibration uncertainties. Methanol is also widespread, tracing both cold and hot gas, making this probe ideal to be used on most scales and stages of star- and planet- formation. Our framework will bring comparisons between models and observations to an entirely new level by mapping the density distribution (e.g. helping to determine the stability of molecular fragments, their mass independently of the temperature, and their chemical evolution), and will allow to reconstruct the 3D structure of molecular condensations, revealing the intimate details of the star-formation process.

description: Background Given the complementary roles of health professionals and journalists in communicating health risks to patients and the public, there have been calls for physicians to work with journalists to improve the quality of health information received by the public. Understanding the preferences of medical and journalism students for the way in which health risks are communicated and their understanding of words used to describe risk is an important first step to inform interdisciplinary learning. Methods Medical and journalism students (n=203) completed an online survey where they were given qualitative descriptors of risk such as ‘a chance’, ‘probably’ and ‘unlikely’, and asked to assign a number that represents what the word means to them. Different formats of communicating risk (percentages, natural frequency and visual aids) were provided and students were asked to select and explain their preference. A thematic analysis of reasons was conducted. Numeracy and perceived mathematics ability were measured. Results Numbers assigned to the descriptor ‘A chance’ had the highest variability for medical students. Numbers assigned to the descriptor ‘Probably’ had the highest variability for journalism students. Using visual aids was the most popular format for risk communication for both courses (56% of medical students and 40% of journalism students). Using percentages was twice as popular with journalism students compared to medical students (36% vs. 18%). Perceived mathematics ability was lower in students with a preference for natural frequencies and in journalism students, however performance on an objective numeracy scale was similar for all three formats (percentages, natural frequency and visual aids). Reasons for choosing a preferred format included good communication, eliciting a response, or learning style. Conclusions Education on health risk communication for medical and journalism students should emphasize the need for qualitative descriptors of risk to be combined with the best available number. Students are already considering their role as future communicators of health risks and open to tailoring the mode of presentation to their audience. Further research is required on the design and evaluation of interdisciplinary workshops in health risk communication for medical and journalism students to maximise the opportunities for future inter-professional working.

Galaxy-wide star formation: zooming in from panoramic Galactic Plane surveys to 1000au-scale with ALMA
Creators: name: Molinari, Sergio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The process of star formation is governed by the interplay of often competing physical agents such as gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, and radiation. The ISM is organized in a hierarchy of scales, that connect the disk of the Milky Way as a whole, through filamentary atomic/molecular star-forming clouds to dense and fragmenting clumps, and eventually to cores and protoplanetary disks. At the same time, the momentum and energy input from stars, in form of radiation, winds and supernovae, creates highly non-linear feedback loops that strongly influence the behavior of the system across the entire cascade of scales. This depicts the Milky Way as a complex ecosystem where dramatically different environments coexist and where varying conditions are found for star and planet formation, and ultimately for life. Exploring and understanding our Galactic ecosystem as well as the physical processes that govern its evolution is the primary research goal of the ECOGAL Project, in which observations and numerical simulations come together to address fundamental questions about: i) how the different phases of the ISM form and evolve, ii) identify the processes that govern the build-up and fragmentations of dense filamentary clouds, iii) what are the agents responsible to drive the mass flow through spatial scales onto the dense parsec-scale clumps, and finally iv) what are the physical processes governing the clump-to-core fragmentation, how do cores gain their mass and how they evolve with time. In a zoom-in view from the Galactic disk, down to the 1000au scale where dense cores are resolved, I will present an overview of the preliminary results that ECOGAL is obtaining by joining forces between large-scale atomic, molecular lines and far-infrared Galactic single-dish surveys, with statistically significant ALMA surveys. In particular I will present a first overview of the results of the ALMAGAL large project, a “statistical” survey of 1000 dense (> 0.1 g/cm2) and massive (M>500 M_sun) parsec-scale clumps resolved at a minimum linear scale of 1000au, sampling the full evolutionary path from IRDCs to UCHII regions from the tip of the Galactic Bar to the Solar circle and beyond. I will conclude with some perspectives about ongoing numerical modelling campaigns and possible future surveys with MeerKAT/SKA, proposed balloon-borne far-infrared polarimetry and more.

The Forgotten Quadrant Survey: a 12CO and 13CO (1–0) survey of the Galactic Plane in the range 220°
Creators: name: Benedettini, Milena
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: I will present the Forgotten Quadrant Survey (FQS), a project that used 700 hr of the 12m antenna at the Arizona Radio Observatory to map a strip of the Milky Way plane in the range 220°<l<240° and -2.5°<b<0°, both in 12CO and 13CO (1–0). These data show how the molecular dense gas is organised at different spatial scales: from the spiral arms, traced by the giant clouds with their denser filamentary networks, down to clumps and cores that host new-born stars. From these high-quality spectroscopic data we can derive the distance of the emitting gas and obtain reliable estimates of its key physical parameters such as size, mass and virial parameter. Catalogues of molecular clouds are produced self-consistently by using the FQS data of the two transitions. They contain 263 and 87 structures for the 12CO(1-0) and 13CO(1-0) catalogues, respectively, that is many more molecular clouds than previously found in the same area by older surveys. Indeed, the sensitivity, spatial and spectral resolution of FQS data allow us to detect not only the classical giant molecular clouds, but also small clouds, namely sub-parsec structures that cannot be in gravitational equilibrium and are likely transient or confined by external pressure, and to resolve the clouds structure at the sub-parsec scale up to a distance of a few kiloparsec. I will present the statistical properties of the physical parameters of the molecular clouds and compare the results of the two FQS catalogues. The comparison shows that the structures traced by 13CO are overall less extended and less massive than the molecular clouds identified in the 12CO (1–0) data-set, since they trace the brightest and densest part of the 12CO (1–0) clouds. Conversely, the distribution of aspect ratio, equivalent spherical radius, velocity dispersion and virial parameter in the two catalogues are similar. I have also studied the variation of the mass surface density of molecular clouds with the galactocentric radius between 1 and 15 kpc, complementing the FQS catalogues with other two catalogues of molecular clouds extracted from similar CO surveys, the GRS and the SEDIGSM catalogues. I find that, even if the mass surface density of molecular clouds spans about an order of magnitude over the single clouds, its mean value is almost constant across the galactocentric radius, indicating that this parameter, which is a proxy of star formation, is highly influenced by local conditions.
Coordinate effect: Vaidya solutions without integrating the field equations

description: We extend Vaidya's algorithm for the description of a central mass losing or gaining energy due to electromagnetic-type radiation (`null dust') to the case of arbitrary radial corpuscular radiation. We also demonstrate the remarkable possibility of purely algebraic deduction of the Vaidya solution without integrating the field equations, and interpret this possibility as an artifact of curvature coordinates. Since Vaidya's approach by itself cannot lead to certain dependence of mass on spacetime coordinates, the search for a corresponding mass-function represents an independent issue. In this regard, as a perspective, we discuss an outlook on the problem of variable masses as a whole.

Computing the BWT and LCP array of a Set of Strings in External Memory

description: Indexing very large collections of strings, such as those produced by the widespread next generation sequencing technologies, heavily relies on multistring generalization of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT): large requirements of in-memory approaches have stimulated recent developments on external memory algorithms. The related problem of computing the Longest Common Prefix (LCP) array of a set of strings is instrumental to compute the suffix-prefix overlaps among strings, which is an essential step for many genome assembly algorithms. In a previous paper, we presented an in-memory divide-and-conquer method for building the BWT and LCP where we merge partial BWTs with a forward approach to sort suffixes. In this paper, we propose an alternative backward strategy to develop an external memory method to simultaneously build the BWT and the LCP array on a collection of m strings of different lengths. The algorithm over a set of strings having constant length k has O(mkl) time and I/O volume, using O(k + m) main memory, where l is the maximum value in the LCP array.

Elite philanthropy and applied economics: the Rockefeller Foundation’s role in post-war research direction

description: This essay investigates how, why and with what results the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) influenced the development of UK economics between 1930 and 1950. It shows the extent to which the RF, as the major sponsor of the newly emerging ‘applied economics’ research in the US and Europe, shaped the conversion of newly emerging macroeconomic theory into policy and research, and steered the fast expanding ‘applied’ economics in an econometric direction based on newly available national accounts data. The RF played a decisive role in selecting the economists retained for applied research when World War 2 ended, and with it the type of work funded. We argue that the RF’s preference for financing stand-alone institutes restrained the initial expansion of England’s applied economics research despite a head-start on national income accounting and business-focused research. Drawing on unpublished correspondence between John Maynard Keynes (1883–1946) and senior RF officers, we show how the difficulty in obtaining start-up funding conditioned the turn towards econometrics in the early choice of leadership and research plans at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Applied Economics, narrowing its earlier vision for a ‘realistic approach’ consonant with that of Keynes. Covering the path-dependent nature of applied economics in its formative phase, the essay demonstrates the role of philanthropic elite organisations in knowledge formation that led to the making of microeconomics and macroeconomics.
