description: We present a framework for quantifying the uncertainty that results from the choice of exchange-correlation (XC) functional in predictions of phonon properties and thermal conductivity that use density functional theory (DFT) to calculate the atomic force constants. The energy ensemble capabilities of the BEEF-vdW XC functional are first applied to determine an ensemble of interatomic force constants, which are then used as inputs to lattice dynamics calculations and a solution of the Boltzmann transport equation. The framework is applied to isotopically-pure silicon. We find that the uncertainty estimates bound property predictions (e.g., phonon dispersions, specific heat, thermal conductivity) from other XC functionals and experiments. We distinguish between properties that are correlated with the predicted thermal conductivity [e.g., the transverse acoustic branch sound speed ($R^2=0.89$) and average Grüneisen parameter ($R^2=0.85$)] and those that are not [e.g., longitudinal acoustic branch sound speed ($R^2=0.23$) and specific heat ($R^2=0.00$)]. We find that differences in ensemble predictions of thermal conductivity are correlated with the behavior of phonons with mean free paths between $100$ and $300$ nm. The framework systematically accounts for XC uncertainty in phonon calculations and should be used whenever it is suspected that the choice of XC functional is influencing physical interpretations.

Volume Filling Factors of the ISM Phases in Star Forming Galaxies - I. The Role of the Disk-Halo Interaction

description: The role of matter circulation between the disk and halo in establishing the volume filling factors of the different ISM phases in the Galactic disk is investigated, using a modified version of the three-dimensional supernova-driven ISM model of Avillez (2000). We carried out adaptive mesh refinement simulations of the ISM with five supernova rates (in units of the Galactic value), $σ/σ_{Gal}=1$, 2, 4, 8 and 16 (corresponding to starburst conditions) using three finer level resolutions of 2.5, 1.25 and 0.625 pc, allowing us to understand how resolution would affect the volumes of gas phases in pressure equilibrium. We find that the volume filling factors of the different ISM phases depend sensitively on the existence of a duty cycle between the disk and halo acting as a pressure release valve for the hot (T> 10^5.5 K) phase in the disk.

description: Generating and detecting radiation in the technologically relevant range of the so-called terahertz gap ($0.1 - 10$ THz) is challenging because of a lack of efficient sources and detectors. Quantum dots in carbon nanotubes have shown great potential to build sensitive terahertz detectors usually based on photon-assisted tunnelling. A recently reported mechanism combining resonant quantum dot transitions and tunnelling barriers asymmetries results in a narrow linewidth photocurrent response with a large signal-to-noise ratio under weak THz radiation. That device was sensitive to one frequency, corresponding to transitions between equidistant quantized states. In this work we show, using numerical together with scanning tunnelling spectroscopy studies of a defect-induced metallic zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dot that simultaneously breaking various symmetries in metallic nanotube quantum dots of arbitrary chirality strongly relaxes the selection rules in the electric dipole approximation, and removes energy degeneracies. This leads to a richer set of allowed optical transitions spanning frequencies from 1 THz to several tens of THz, for a $\sim$10 nm quantum dot. Based on these findings, we propose a terahertz detector device based on a metallic single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dot defined by artificial defects. Depending on its length and contacts transparency, the operating regimes range from a high-resolution gate-tunable terahertz sensor to a broadband terahertz detector. Our calculations indicate that the device is largely unaffected by temperatures up to 100 K, making carbon nanotube quantum dots with broken symmetries a promising platform to design tunable terahertz detectors that could operate at liquid nitrogen temperatures.

description: Physical notions of stochastic resonance for potential diffusions in periodically changing double-well potentials such as the spectral power amplification have proved to be defective. They are not robust for the passage to their effective dynamics: continuous-time finite-state Markov chains describing the rough features of transitions between different domains of attraction of metastable points. In the framework of one-dimensional diffusions moving in periodically changing double-well potentials we design a new notion of stochastic resonance which refines Freidlin's concept of quasi-periodic motion. It is based on exact exponential rates for the transition probabilities between the domains of attraction which are robust with respect to the reduced Markov chains. The quality of periodic tuning is measured by the probability for transition during fixed time windows depending on a time scale parameter. Maximizing it in this parameter produces the stochastic resonance points.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. In order to obtain the limiting current values, we conducted the voltage-sweeping method in our systems. Under the 20nL/min flows was applied near the Nafion membrane, the limiting current value reaches 12 (nA). Figure S2. The V2nd from the measurement has been obtained with the applied current, I. This result showed that the slope of V2nd–I, which is the overlimiting conductance (OLC) by electro-osmotic flows (EOF) have the constant values as 0.21 nS. Figure S3. The onset time (τC) of electro-convective flows was obtained from the chronopotentiometric measurement. The τC values are between 10 and 30, which result is coincided our scaling theory, τC–O (101). Figure S4. The V1st, which was time-varying potential reflected by the electrical double layer, was obtained from the chronopotentiometric measurement. From this result, the resistance can be calculated by Ohm’s law (REDL = VEDL/I). (b) The RC delay time caused by the electrical double layer was collected in ohmic current regime. The RC delay times in our experiments were almost constant as the value of 18 s regardless of the applied current. From this result, the capacitance can be calculated by (CEDL = tEDL/REDL). Table S1. The electrical components of the equivalent circuit model were calculated by simple calculation. Note that REDL and CEDL remains same regardless of the applied current (I), while RESC and CESC are linearly proportional to the current values (I–Ilim), where Ilim is the limiting current values.

description: Measuring the global magnetic field of the solar corona remains exceptionally challenging. The fine-scale density structures observed in white light images taken during Total Solar Eclipses (TSEs) are currently the best proxy for inferring the magnetic field direction in the corona from the solar limb out to several solar radii (Rs). We present, for the first time, the topology of the coronal magnetic field continuously between 1 and 6 Rs, as quantitatively inferred with the Rolling Hough Transform (RHT) for 14 unique eclipse coronae that span almost two complete solar cycles. We find that the direction of the coronal magnetic field does not become radial until at least 3 Rs, with a high variance between 1.5 and 3 Rs at different latitudes and phases of the solar cycle. We find that the most non-radial coronal field topologies occur above regions with weaker magnetic field strengths in the photosphere, while stronger photospheric fields are associated with highly radial field lines in the corona. In addition, we find an abundance of field lines which extend continuously from the solar surface out to several solar radii at all latitudes, regardless of the presence of coronal holes. These results have implications for testing and constraining coronal magnetic field models, and for linking in situ solar wind measurements to their sources at the Sun.

description: Within the Lindblad formalism we consider an interacting spin chain coupled locally to heat baths. We investigate the dependence of the energy transport on the type of interaction in the system as well as on the overall interaction strength. For a large class of couplings we find a normal heat conduction and confirm Fourier's Law. In a fully quantum mechanical approach linear transport behavior appears to be generic even for small quantum systems.

description: We present a comprehensive discussion on lattice techniques for the simulation of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe. After reviewing the continuum formulation of scalar and gauge field interactions in Minkowski and FLRW backgrounds, we introduce basic tools for the discretization of field theories, including lattice gauge invariant techniques. Following, we discuss and classify numerical algorithms, ranging from methods of $O(dt^2)$ accuracy like $staggered~leapfrog$ and $Verlet$ integration, to $Runge-Kutta$ methods up to $O(dt^4)$ accuracy, and the $Yoshida$ and $Gauss-Legendre$ higher-order integrators, accurate up to $O(dt^{10})$. We adapt these methods for their use in classical lattice simulations of the non-linear dynamics of scalar and gauge fields in an expanding grid in $3+1$ dimensions, including the case of `self-consistent' expansion sourced by the volume average of the fields' energy and pressure densities. We present lattice formulations of canonical cases of: $i)$ Interacting scalar fields, $ii)$ Abelian $U(1)$ gauge theories, and $iii)$ Non-Abelian $SU(2)$ gauge theories. In all three cases we provide symplectic integrators, with accuracy ranging from $O(dt^2)$ up to $O(dt^{10})$. For each algorithm we provide the form of relevant observables, such as energy density components, field spectra and the Hubble constraint. Remarkably, all our algorithms for gauge theories respect the Gauss constraint to machine precision, including when `self-consistent' expansion is considered. As a numerical example we analyze the post-inflationary dynamics of an oscillating inflaton charged under $SU(2)\times U(1)$. The present manuscript is meant as part of the theoretical basis for $CosmoLattice$, a modern C++ MPI-based package for simulating the non-linear dynamics of scalar-gauge field theories in an expanding universe, publicly available at www.cosmolattice.net

description: As comunidades tradicionais da Zona Costeira do Ceará sofrem com o declínio da pesca, atividades extrativistas e pela falta de oportunidades de emprego. A ostreicultura comunitária se coloca como uma atividade produtiva sustentável e adaptada às condições ambientais locais, que pode ser explorada economicamente em regime comunitário. Neste sentido, este estudo propõe-se avaliar a rentabilidade econômica da ostreicultura comunitária e verificar em que proporção esta atividade contribui com a formação da renda familiar. Este estudo foi realizado na comunidade de Mangabeira, localizada no Município de Eusébio, Ceará, onde foi constituída uma associação produtiva voltada para o cultivo de ostras do mangue no estuário do Rio Pacoti. A metodologia consistiu primeiramente da realização de um diagnóstico socioeconômico dos membros da associação comunitária e, em seguida, das análises de custos, rentabilidade e sensibilidade da ostreicultura. Os resultados mostram que a ostreicultura comunitária exige baixos custos de investimento, proporciona elevada e robusta rentabilidade, e contribui significativamente para formação da renda familiar. -------------------------------------------------Traditional communities of Ceará Coastal Zone are suffering with the declining of fisheries and extractive production as well as lack of employment opportunities. The communitarian oyster farming is being considered as a sustainable activity and adapted to local environmental conditions which can be economically exploited through out common pool resource use. Given that, this study aims to assess the economic return of the communitarian oyster farming and verify in which proportion this activity contributes to the family income. This study was carried out in the Mangabeira community located in Eusébio, Ceará, where a productive association dedicated to mangrove oyster cultivation in the Pacoti River has been established. The methodology consisted first of carrying out a socio-economic assessment of the communitarian association and, after that, of analyzing the oyster farming costs, returns and sensitivity. The results showed that the communitarian oyster farming requires low investment costs, allows high and robust returns and contributes significantly to the familiar income formation.
Explosion Energies for Core-collapse Supernovae I: Analytic, Spherically Symmetric Solutions

description: Recent multi-dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae are producing successful explosions and explosion-energy predictions. In general, the explosion-energy evolution is monotonic and relatively smooth, suggesting a possible analytic solution. We derive analytic solutions for the expansion of the gain region under the following assumptions: spherical symmetry, one-zone shell, and powered by neutrinos and $α$ particle recombination. We consider two hypotheses: I) explosion energy is powered by neutrinos and $α$ recombination, II) explosion energy is powered by neutrinos alone. Under these assumptions, we derive the fundamental dimensionless parameters and analytic scalings. For the neutrino-only hypothesis (II), the asymptotic explosion energy scales as $E_{\infty} \approx 1.5 M_g v_0^2 η^{2/3}$, where $M_g$ is the gain mass, $v_0$ is the free-fall velocity at the shock, and $η$ is a ratio of the heating and dynamical time scales. Including both neutrinos and recombination (hypothesis I), the asymptotic explosion energy is $E_{\infty} \approx M_g v_0^2 (1.5η^{2/3} + βf(ρ_0))$, where $β$ is the dimensionless recombination parameter. We use Bayesian inference to fit these analytic models to simulations. Both hypotheses fit the simulations of the lowest progenitor masses that tend to explode spherically. The fits do not prefer hypothesis I or II; however, prior investigations suggest that $α$ recombination is important. As expected, neither hypothesis fits the higher-mass simulations that exhibit aspherical explosions. In summary, this explosion-energy theory is consistent with the spherical explosions of low progenitor masses; the inconsistency with higher progenitor-mass simulations suggests that a theory for them must include aspherical dynamics.

Articulating a sociology of desire exceeding the normative shadows
Creators: name: Overboe, James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Drawing from the work of Deleuze and Guattari, this dissertation offers a new way of 'doing' and 'thinking about' sociology. Rather than concentrating upon sociological categories and identities, a sociology of desire focuses upon considering the flows of desires that emanate from people, bodies and things. Thus, subjectivity is not restricted to an essentialist self-contained person, but subjectivity consists of connections (assemblages) between people, animals and objects. Most people are restricted by what I term 'normative shadows' that suppress desires that do not conform to accepted norms. In this work I examine how to exceed these normative shadows through a sociology of desire. A sociology of desire could pragmatically be incorporated into the fields of sociology of the body, sociology of knowledge, sociology of health and illness, sociology of education, sociology of deviance. As well as offering an interesting take on disability by exceeding the dichotomy of ability and disability; a sociology of desire with its emphasis on singularity and machinic assemblages offers a new dynamism for disability studies. My use of the term exceed is not meant to signify a separation from various established sociological theories and methods rather it notes that a sociology of desire launches itself from these sociological understandings of the social world. While my main methodological approach is autobiographical, many different sensibilities have informed this dissertation. From a theoretical perspective this investigation has benefited from the insights of feminist theorists, theorists of racial inequality, scholars from disability studies, postcolonial theorists, cultural theorists, queer theorists, literary theorists, and poststructuralist theorists. Rather than approach this study through a singular methodology, I have drawn from a wide-range of sources, theories, and experiences. First-person accounts, third-person accounts, narrative descriptions, and theoretical investigations weave and intermingle throughout this dissertation. Such an approach does not exhaust this study, but rather it lays the groundwork for a continued analysis of the possibility for a sociology of desire.

description: The low-energy level structure of the exotic Na isotopes 28,29Na has been investigated through beta-delayed gamma spectroscopy. The N=20 isotones for Z=10-12 are considered to belong to the ``island of inversion'' where intruder configurations dominate the ground state wave function. However, it is an open question as to where and how the transition from normal to intruder-dominated configurations happens in an isotopic chain. The present work, which presents the first detailed spectroscopy of 28,29Na, clearly demonstrates that such a transition in the Na isotopes occurs between 28Na (N=17) and 29Na (N=18), supporting the smaller N=20 shell gap in neutron rich sd shell nuclei. The evidence for inverted shell structure is found in intruder dominated spectroscopy of low-lying states, beta-decay branching ratios and shell model analysis.

description: We generalize the definition of orbifold elliptic genus, and introduce orbifold genera of chromatic level h, using h-tuples rather than pairs of commuting elements. We show that our genera are in fact orbifold invariants, and we prove integrality results for them. If the genus arises from an H-infinity-map into the Morava-Lubin-Tate theory E_h, then we give a formula expressing the orbifold genus of the symmetric powers of a stably almost complex manifold M in terms of the genus of M itself. Our formula is the p-typical analogue of the Dijkgraaf-Moore-Verlinde-Verlinde formula for the orbifold elliptic genus. It depends only on h and not on the genus.

description: Mixtures of Gaussian (or normal) distributions arise in a variety of application areas. Many heuristics have been proposed for the task of finding the component Gaussians given samples from the mixture, such as the EM algorithm, a local-search heuristic from Dempster, Laird and Rubin [J. Roy. Statist. Soc. Ser. B 39 (1977) 1-38]. These do not provably run in polynomial time. We present the first algorithm that provably learns the component Gaussians in time that is polynomial in the dimension. The Gaussians may have arbitrary shape, but they must satisfy a ``separation condition'' which places a lower bound on the distance between the centers of any two component Gaussians. The mathematical results at the heart of our proof are ``distance concentration'' results--proved using isoperimetric inequalities--which establish bounds on the probability distribution of the distance between a pair of points generated according to the mixture. We also formalize the more general problem of max-likelihood fit of a Gaussian mixture to unstructured data.

description: We present the first results for lattice QCD at finite temperature $T$ and chemical potential $μ$ with four flavors of Wilson quarks. The calculations are performed using the imaginary chemical potential method at $κ=0$, 0.001, 0.15, 0.165, 0.17 and 0.25, where $κ$ is the hopping parameter, related to the bare quark mass $m$ and lattice spacing $a$ by $κ=1/(2ma+8)$. Such a method allows us to do large scale Monte Carlo simulations at imaginary chemical potential $μ=i μ_I$. By analytic continuation of the data with $μ_I < πT/3$ to real values of the chemical potential, we expect at each $κ\in [0,κ_{chiral}]$, a transition line on the $(μ, T)$ plane, in a region relevant to the search for quark gluon plasma in heavy-ion collision experiments. The transition is first order at small or large quark mass, and becomes a crossover at intermediate quark mass.

title: Patient Access to Medical Records: Should Malaysia Widen Patient Access?
Creators: name: Hassan, Astrid Sinarti
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: The Malaysian approach to patient access to personal medical records has been ambiguous. Currently, no legislation explicitly allows the right of access to medical records for Malaysian patients. The closest legislation that approximates this right is the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2010 but this only governs the manner and right of access to the data user and data subject thereby advocating data protection in general terms, which raises the question of whether the term ‘data’ applies to medical records. Even then, it is restricted to the private healthcare sector which forms only a small part of the Malaysian healthcare ecosystem. Despite guidelines from the Malaysian Medical Council stating that patients have the right to access their medical information, this analysis reveals several contradictions and contravening government regulations that suggest otherwise. Patients thus have no authority to access medical records as this authority belongs to doctors and hospital providers. As it stands, patient access to medical records can be granted only through a court order.
The objective of this thesis is to determine whether Malaysia should widen patient access to medical records and how this could be achieved. It examines three important aspects of widening patient access: the legal impediments to patient access and the current legislative and regulatory landscape in Malaysia; the ethical principles involved in widening patient access under which the doctor-patient relationship operates; and the changes needed to support access and how this would affect the doctor-patient relationship. It then develops a practical and coherent framework and recommendations based on legal and ethical perspectives to support the goal to improve patient access to their medical records. In doing so, the effect of the regulatory space on patient access to these records is also touched upon as it is an integral part if any changes are to happen.
The thesis concludes by detailing a set of legal and ethical recommendations for Malaysian authorities which may help improve the current legal position in recognising patients’ rights to access their medical records. In doing so the recommendations are used to underpin a reform strategy aimed to shift the current paradigm of values and beliefs and make it a norm, initially by legislation but later by behavioural changes brought by the legislation.
Progress in Improving Joint Strength of Brazed Cemented Carbides and Steels

Surface mining causes significant wear damage that affects equipment performance, reliability, and lead to associated downtime costs. To improve the wear resistance of components used in natural resources industries, cemented carbide tiles are joined to engaging surfaces of the components. Joining of cemented carbide to structural steel can be achieved by various processes, among which brazing is commonly used owing to its relatively simple processing and low cost. A significant challenge in brazing cemented carbide tiles to steels is the poor joint strength. This article aims to review the recent progress in improving joint strength of cemented carbide/steel brazing. Recent progress on the key factors, including type of filler metals, evolution of joint microstructure, generation of residual stresses, and process parameters have been closely examined and critically analysed. Future directions of research on brazing cemented carbide tiles to steel in order to improve joint strength have been proposed.

description: Interstellar comets offer direct samples of volatiles from distant protoplanetary disks. 2I/Borisov is the first notably active interstellar comet discovered in our solar system[1]. Comets are condensed samples of the gas, ice, and dust that were in a star's protoplanetary disk during the formation of its planets and inform our understanding on how chemical compositions and abundances vary with distance from the central star. Their orbital migration moves volatiles[2], organic material, and prebiotic chemicals in their host system[3]. In our solar system, hundreds of comets have been observed remotely, and a few have been studied up close by space missions[4]. However, knowledge of extrasolar comets has been limited to what could be gleaned from distant, unresolved observations of cometary regions around other stars, with only one detection of carbon monoxide[5]. Here we report that the coma of 2I/Borisov contains significantly more CO than H2O gas, with abundances of at least 173%, more than three times higher than previously measured for any comet in the inner (<2.5 au) solar system[4]. Our ultraviolet observations of 2I/Borisov provide the first glimpse into the ice content and chemical composition of the protoplanetary disk of another star that is substantially different from our own.

description: We present results of numerical modeling of the cyclic brightness modulation in the young binary systems with the eccentric orbits and low-mass secondary components. Brightness variations of the primary is due to the periodical extinction variations on the line-of-sight caused by the disk wind of the secondary and a common envelope it produces. A matter distribution in the envelope has been calculated in the ballistic approach. Calculations showed that for the young binaries with the elliptic orbits parameters of the photometric minima (their depth, duration and the shape of light curves) depend not only on the disk wind parameters and an inclination of the binary orbit to the line-of-sight but also on the longitude of the periastron. A modulation of the scattered radiation of the common envelope with a phase of the orbital period has been investigated in the single scattering approach. It is shown that an amplitude of the modulation is maximal when the system is seen edge-on and has also a non-zero value in the binaries observed pole-on. Possible applications of the theory to the young stellar objects are discussed. In particular, an attention is payed to a resemblance of the light curves in some models with light curves of the objects suspected as candidates to FUORs.

description: We show that given n>0, there exists a hyperbolic knot K with trivial Alexander polynomial, trivial finite type invariants of order <=n, and such that the volume of the complement of K is larger than n. This contrasts with the known statement that the volume of the complement of a hyperbolic alternating knot is bounded above by a linear function of the coefficients of the Alexander polynomial of the knot. As a corollary to our main result we obtain that, for every m>0, there exists a sequence of hyperbolic knots with trivial finite type invariants of order <=m but arbitrarily large volume. We discuss how our results fit within the framework of relations between the finite type invariants and the volume of hyperbolic knots, predicted by Kashaev's hyperbolic volume conjecture.
