Analysis of right-handed Majorana neutrino mass in an $SU(4) \times SU(2)_{L} \times SU(2)_{R}$ Pati--Salam model with democratic texture

description: In this paper, we attempt to build an unified model with democratic texture, that have some unification between $Y_ν$ and $Y_{u}$. Since the $S_{3L} \times S_{3R}$ flavor symmetry is chiral, the unified gauge group is assumed to be Pati-Salam type $SU(4)_{c} \times SU(2)_{L} \times SU(2)_{R}$. The flavor symmetry breaking scheme is considered to be $S_{3L} \times S_{3R} \to S_{2L} \times S_{2R} \to 0$. In this picture, the four-zero texture is desirable for realistic mass and mixings. This texture is realized by a specific representation for the second breaking of the $S_{3L} \times S_{3R}$ flavor symmetry. Assuming only renormalizable Yukawa interactions, type-I seesaw mechanism, and neglecting $CP$ phases for simplicity, the right-handed neutrino mass matrix $M_{R}$ can be reconstructed from low energy input values. Numerical analysis shows that the texture of $M_{R}$ basically behaves like the "waterfall texture". Since $M_{R}$ tends to be the "cascade texture" in the democratic texture approach, a model with type-I seesaw and up-type Yukawa unification $Y_ν \simeq Y_{u}$ basically requires fine-tunings between parameters. Therefore, it seems to be more realistic to consider universal waterfall textures for both $Y_{f}$ and $M_{R}$, e.g., by the radiative mass generation or the Froggatt--Nielsen mechanism. Moreover, analysis of eigenvalues shows that the lightest mass eigenvalue $M_{R1}$ is too light to achieve successful thermal leptogenesis. Although the resonant leptogenesis might be possible, it also requires fine-tunings of parameters.

description: Gene expression patterns (GEPs) are established by cross-regulating target genes that interpret morphogen gradients. However, as development progresses, morphogen activity is reduced, leaving the emergent GEP without stabilizing positional cues. The GEP then can be deteriorated by the intrinsically noisy biochemical processes acting at the cellular level. However, the established GEPs remain spatio-temporally stable in many biological systems. Here we combine spatial-stochastic simulations with an enhanced sampling method (Non-Stationary Forward Flux Sampling) and a recently developed stability theory to address how spatiotemporal integrity of a GEP is maintained without morphogen gradients. Using a minimal embryo model consisting of spatially coupled biochemical reactor volumes, we study a stripe pattern in which weak cross-repression between nearest neighbor domians alternates with strong repression between next-nearest neighbor domains, inspired by the gap gene system in the Drosophila embryo. We find that fine-tuning of the weak repressive interactions to an optimal level increases temporal stability of GEPs by orders of magnitude, providing stability over developmentally relevant times, without morphogen gradients. The numerically determined optimal parameter regime closely agrees with the predictions of the stability theory. By analizing the dynamics of GEP asymmetry factors, we trace back the pattern stability enhancement to the emergence of a metastable basin and restoring forces that counteract pattern perturbations. The origin of these forces is further explained by the effective model, describing the emergent deterministic dynamics of the system. Altogether, we show that metastable attractors can emerge as a property of stochastic GEPs even without system-wide positional cues, provided that the gene regulatory interactions shaping the pattern are optimally tuned.

description: LJMU has a proud history of high quality research and knowledge exchange with a significant body of world-leading research, as evidenced in the recent REF2021 results. This work continues to be generated by academic staff, research staff and postgraduate research students. When we reflect on the impact of our research and knowledge exchange activity we often think in "REF terms" of who and what have we influenced and changed outside of the university. Our REF2021 impact case studies were replete with examples of public and private recipients of our work who helped mediate change in health, education, policy, well-being as well as industry and economic change. This supports key strategic actions for LJMU around Place and Partnership, enshrined in the LJMU Strategy 2030. This session "Research Informed Teaching at LJMU" turns the impact lens inwards to the university and asks what change and improvement has been made to our curricula and student experience on the back of our research and knowledge exchange work. This is now a core focus of the Research and Knowledge Exchange activity within the LJMU Strategy 2030 and is developed in the LJMU RKE Plan 2030. Also it seeks to elevate the role of our postgraduate students, something of a "hidden-minority" in an institution with "students at the heart". what was their experience of the knowledge development process and how can they and their novel work inspire taught students and change their experiences and opportunities. We have been collecting a range of "case studies" related to research informed teaching from around the faculties and we have asked the staff to identify the research work and research students whose new knowledge and stories they have weaved into curriculum content and development. We have asked these case studies to identify new lectures, modules and sometime whole programmes that have been borne out of our research and knowledge exchange and asked the staff to reflect on what this did for student experience, an enhanced knowledge or skill training and how this might play into greater or broader employment/career opportunities. From the first round of Faculty Research Informed Teaching Case studies we present exemplars from across all 5 Faculties in a lightning talk format for celebration, learning and on-going development of a rich research informed teaching culture across LJMU.

description: In this session we present a model for engaging 20 students in an in-depth, skills-based work experience program aimed at raising science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills and confidence, and addressing awareness and feelings of belonging in Higher Education (HE) and physics. We believe that this model is transferable across all subjects. To support this, we will quantify the time and staffing requirements of our model, with an indication of scalability. We discuss our approach to targeting students from underrepresented groups, and how the project has evolved to adapt to the needs of our students. We show the results of our evaluation, share success stories, and what we hope to further achieve. Opportunities for students to gain work experience in physics or astrophysics are rare. Where they do exist, they are often socially ring-fenced to those who already have connections. This is compounded by the common social narratives of who physics is for. Stereotypes based upon gender, sexual orientation, disability, social background, and ethnicity can make studying physics at university, or pursuing a career in physics, feel daunting. For 10 years the National Schools’ Observatory, part of the Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) at LJMU, has hosted a week-long Work Experience Program for students aged 16-18 from across the UK, with a focus on engaging students from underrepresented groups. The program provides students with the opportunity to experience working in an astrophysics research setting whilst giving them a taste of university, including information and guidance on student finance, careers, and student life. Skills sessions equip students to undertake the focus of the week where they work in small groups, under the guidance of a supervisor, to analyse real data from the Liverpool Telescope. Students conduct research into their topic and present their research and analysis to a professional level.

description: We investigate a thermoelectric nano-engine whose properties are steered by Coulomb interaction. The device whose design decouples charge and energy currents is made up of two interacting quantum dots connected to three different reservoirs. We show that, by tailoring the tunnel couplings, this setup can be made very attractive for energy-harvesting prospects, due to a delivered power that can be of the order of the quantum bound [R. S. Whitney, Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 130601 (2014); Entropy 18, 208 (2016)], with a concomitant fair efficiency. To unveil its properties beyond the sequential quantum master equation, we apply a nonequilibrium noncrossing approximation in the Keldysh Green's function formalism, and a quantum master equation that includes cotunneling processes. Both approaches are rather qualitatively similar in a large operating regime where sequential tunneling alone fails.

Acknowledging the different needs and preferences of our diverse student population, the journal is available both electronically via the student portal, and as a physical journal, making it accessible to all. The journal enables students to set and review goals and normalise the inevitable ups and downs of University life and the most recent curriculum enhancement project explored how the journal is being used across APSS to develop the strengths of the journal for roll out in September 2023. It ensures students have details of support services to hand should they require them at any point in the academic year. The Journal is supported by a bespoke programme of guided meditation sessions provided by Heather J Ray from My Well being School Australia and a social media campaign. This workshop will showcase how academics, professional services teams and students can work together to create a tool which helps students to overcome feelings of isolation, enhances their sense of belonging and supports power-sharing in interactions between students and the university to develop a sense of community. Students will lead the way with their findings to establish a productive way forward.

description: This session contributes the Education and Student Experience: transforming lives and futures by addressing the the current qualitative knowledge gap documenting the lived experiences of gay students in Higher Education. Additionally, the article contributes to a methodological gap in how gay students in Higher Education have been investigated. With the help of Photovoice, this presentation will discuss the lived experiences of 16 gay students studying at university in the United Kingdom. The data will show that the participants experienced a sense of loneliness and isolation whilst at university and identified the classroom as a critically important environment to create belonging. Whilst the classroom is central to belonging, the data complicates this fact by identifying that gay student’s battle with how to perform as themselves in the classroom thusly affecting their engagement and attendance. Additionally, the data will show that while participants did not experience overt hostility nor brazen acts of homophobia, they did recognize a degree of LGBTQAI+ inclusion ‘lip service’ by the university.

Besonderer Bedarf besteht beim Thema der gesundheitsfördernden Stadtgestaltung. Zielvorgaben wie eine hohe Walkability („Bewegungsfreundlichkeit“) oder eine verbesserte Zugänglichkeit des öffentlichen Raumes im Sinne des Access for All sind für Laien wie Experten oft schwer zu greifen. Sie sollten anhand von konkreten Orten und gemeinsam mit den Zielgruppen hinterfragt werden. Der Ansatz der „menschengerechten Stadt“ liefert hierfür einen Einstieg und die günstigen (analogen) Werkzeuge zum „Studium des öffentlichen Lebens“ gleich mit (Gehl / Svarre 2013). Bisher gibt es aber wenige Erkenntnisse dazu, welche Bedeutung digitale Werkzeuge für die Forschung in der Stadtgestaltung einnehmen können und wie sie in Zukunft stärker in die Planungspraxis einbezogen werden können.

Representative student feedback: the route to high response rates
Creators: name: Boerkamp, Fenna
Publisher: name: Student Experience Proceedings
Year: 2023

description: Teaching & Learning Academy are undertaking a project to gain an in-depth understanding of how module leaders facilitate student engagement with online module evaluation surveys. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have been dealing with low(er) response rates ever since the shift from paper-based surveys to online evaluations (Nulty, 2008). When few students respond to course evaluation surveys, the student population is underrepresented, and the results potentially biased. This threatens the validity of the student feedback, thus making it difficult to interpret results and improve course quality (Wiley, 2019). It is, therefore, crucial to uncover good practices leading to high response rates to online course evaluations. Smith and Morris (2011) suggested that a response rate of at least 50% or higher is needed to derive meaningful insights from surveys. Following their guidelines, 23 out of 2300 LJMU modules consistently achieving response rates higher than 50% across three years (20-21, 21-22, and Semester 1 in 22-23) were selected. Of the 23 that met the criteria, nine modules with an equal distribution of study levels and from different faculties were put forward for further analysis. Module leaders were contacted for a semi-structured interview to share their approach to collecting representative student feedback. Preliminary results indicate that a number of factors influence the response rates achieved, including module leaders stressing the value of representative student feedback, and strong teacher-student relationships. Interviews are currently being analysed, using inductive coding. The qualitative data collected from the interviews will likely be complemented by quantitative data from a survey designed for course representatives (subject to their engagement with a quick poll). The presentation will explore the findings in more detail; including general recommendations and how the results, in line with LJMU’s new strategy, can be used to ultimately enhance education (quality) and student experience.

description: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved remarkable advances in graph-oriented tasks. However, real-world graphs invariably contain a certain proportion of heterophilous nodes, challenging the homophily assumption of traditional GNNs and hindering their performance. Most existing studies continue to design generic models with shared weights between heterophilous and homophilous nodes. Despite the incorporation of high-order messages or multi-channel architectures, these efforts often fall short. A minority of studies attempt to train different node groups separately but suffer from inappropriate separation metrics and low efficiency. In this paper, we first propose a new metric, termed Neighborhood Confusion (NC), to facilitate a more reliable separation of nodes. We observe that node groups with different levels of NC values exhibit certain differences in intra-group accuracy and visualized embeddings. These pave the way for Neighborhood Confusion-guided Graph Convolutional Network (NCGCN), in which nodes are grouped by their NC values and accept intra-group weight sharing and message passing. Extensive experiments on both homophilous and heterophilous benchmarks demonstrate that our framework can effectively separate nodes and yield significant performance improvement compared to the latest methods. The source code will be available in https://github.com/GISec-Team/NCGNN.

Outnumbered but not necessarily outgunned: the effects of classroom gender imbalance on student outcomes
Creators: name: Wilshaw, Alex
Publisher: name: Student Experience Proceedings
Year: 2023

description: At LJMU, as in most Higher Education institutions, the ratio of male and female registered students can be highly imbalanced in specific disciplines. This is well-explored for subjects such as nursing, teaching, and engineering, but in more recent years the phenomenon of imbalanced student cohorts has extended into a wide range of subject areas, particularly in respect of female dominated student cohorts. Currently, 54% of students at LJMU (over 10,000) are taught in classes where one gender comprises less than 25% of the cohort, with 7% in classes where less than one in 10 are of one gender. Yet, we know little about how being taught in such classes affects the experiences and outcomes of our students. This big-data research project uses uniand multi-variate statistics with a dataset of over 23,000 LJMU student records to explore the relationship between gender imbalance in the classroom and the academic outcomes (retention, completion, awards) of our students. The data analyses suggest that the impact varies for male and female registered students, and that patterns of success for retention and completion differ to those of academic achievement in terms of award outcomes. The results shine a light on a little explored aspect of the inclusive curriculum. They also suggest the need for further research to better understand the impact of gender-based classroom dynamics on the student experience.

description: A homogeneous determination of basic stellar parameters of young stellar object (YSO) candidates is needed to confirm their evolutionary stage, membership to star forming regions (SFRs), and to get reliable values of the quantities related to chromospheric activity and accretion. We used the code ROTFIT and synthetic BT-Settl spectra for the determination of the atmospheric parameters (Teff and logg), the veiling, the radial (RV) and projected rotational velocity (vsini), from X-Shooter spectra of 102 YSO candidates in the Lupus SFR. We have shown that 13 candidates can be rejected as Lupus members based on their discrepant RV with respect to Lupus and/or the very low logg values. At least 11 of them are background giants. The spectral subtraction of inactive templates enabled us to measure the line fluxes for several diagnostics of both chromospheric activity and accretion. We found that all Class-III sources have H$α$ fluxes compatible with a pure chromospheric activity, while objects with disks lie mostly above the boundary between chromospheres and accretion. YSOs with transitional disks displays both high and low H$α$ fluxes. We found that the line fluxes per unit surface are tightly correlated with the accretion luminosity ($L_{\rm acc}$) derived from the Balmer continuum excess. This rules out that the relationships between $L_{\rm acc}$ and line luminosities found in previous works are simply due to calibration effects. We also found that the CaII-IRT flux ratio, $F_{8542}/F_{8498}$, is always small, indicating an optically thick emission source. The latter can be identified with the accretion shock near the stellar photosphere. The Balmer decrement reaches instead, for several accretors, high values typical of optically thin emission, suggesting that the Balmer emission originates in different parts of the accretion funnels with a smaller optical depth.

Embedding EDI; finding ways to develop a successful Journalism initiative into a crossuniversity resource

description: We are seeking views from colleagues in other faculties and departments as to how to maximise the potential of successful diversity resources, aimed at providing knowledge, skills and confidence when writing about and working within diverse communities. Following on from a successful funding bid in 2021, the Journalism department developed a series of resources aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion in reporting by student journalists. The central resource developed as part of this project was a Diversity Reporting Guide. Since then, the researchers have used this resource in teaching and presented it at internal and external conferences, where it has attracted interest not only from journalism educators but, crucially, colleagues from other disciplines. It was officially commended during the revalidation of the Journalism BA programmes in March 2022. In January 2023, it was presented to the Association for Journalism Educators, prompting a suggestion that the Guide might be published via the AJE for national use. The researchers have spent the last few months working on updating this guide and are now keen to explore ways in which this piece of work can be developed into a cross-disciplinary resource for potential use across LJMU in helping students to understand and feel confident when writing about and working within diverse communities. The next stage is to work cross-departmentally with other faculties and courses to look at ways in which this guide (and other resources according to appetite) can be adapted to be of potential use for any student or academic, from any discipline, who is engaged in outward-facing work and/or research; for example, interviews, focus groups, surveys etc. This workshop session is designed to explore the ways in which these diversity resources could be best developed and adapted to maximise their use and potential benefit for use in other faculties and departments.

description: We study test-body orbits in the gravitational field of a static spherically symmetric object in presence of a minimally coupled nonlinear scalar field. We generated a two-parametric family of scalar field potentials, which allow finding solutions of Einstein's equations in an analytic form. The results are presented by means of hypergeometric functions; they describe either a naked singularity (NS) or a black hole (BH). Our numerical investigation shows that in both cases the stable circular orbits can form separated (non-connected) regions around the configuration. We found existence conditions for such separated regions and present examples for some family parameters in case of NS and BH. The results may be of interest for testing models of the dynamical dark energy.

description: The importance of the student experience in higher education cannot be overemphasized. This presentation will demonstrate the ongoing effort of the School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment to enhance the student experience by implementing extended reality (XR) technology in the curriculum. Our newly established immersive lab allows students to visualize 3D environments of architectural buildings and annotate existing buildings according to legalisation regulations or scheduling. We identified Quantity Surveying students as potential users, although the XR technology implemented in the lab is beneficial to all students, particularly those without a core design experience. The hands-on experience gained through the immersive lab encourages innovative thinking and enhances research methodology. Implementing XR in the curriculum allows students to explore applications relevant to their proficiency, emphasizing practical application. This research serves as an exemplar for integrating XR into the curriculum of other programs in the School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment and beyond, contributing to the overall improvement of the student experience. In this presentation, we will discuss the establishment of the immersive lab and the benefits of incorporating XR technology into the curriculum of Civil Engineering and Built Environment students. Our findings highlight the significance of hands-on experience in promoting innovative thinking and enhancing research methodology. We conclude by recommending the incorporation of XR in the curriculum of other programs to improve the student experience and encourage practical application.
