description: Cold molecular ions are promising candidates in various fields ranging from precision spectroscopy and test of fundamental physics to ultra-cold chemistry. Control of internal and external degrees of freedom is a prerequisite for many of these applications. Motional ground state cooling represents the starting point for quantum logic-assisted internal state preparation, detection, and spectroscopy protocols. Robust and fast cooling is crucial to maximize the fraction of time available for the actual experiment. We optimize the cooling rate of ground state cooling schemes for single $^{25}\mathrm{Mg}^{+}$ ions and sympathetic ground state cooling of $^{24}\mathrm{MgH}^{+}$. In particular, we show that robust cooling is achieved by combining pulsed Raman sideband cooling with continuous quench cooling. Furthermore, we experimentally demonstrate an efficient strategy for ground state cooling outside the Lamb-Dicke regime.

description: Jean Améry, né en Autriche en 1912 sous le nom de Hans Mayer, est arrêté en Belgique en 1943 et torturé en tant que résistant, puis envoyé dans le camp de concentration d’Auschwitz parce que juif. Rescapé au camp, il s’enferme dans un silence de vingt ans avant de publier Par-delà le crime et le châtiment. Essai pour surmonter l’insurmontable, un recueil de cinq essais, dont l’un directement consacré à la torture, dans lesquels l’expérience personnelle se mêle à la spéculation.

Evénement biographique fondamental, marquant son identité d’individu, tandis que l’expérience des camps de concentration fait office d’un «destin collectif», la torture nous semble constituer le noeud central de son oeuvre; en l’envisageant en tant que traumatisme, nous analysons dans un premier temps l’essai qui lui est consacré, dans un deuxième temps sa présence, souvent inattendue, dans ses autres ouvrages, enfin ses conséquences linguistiques sur Mayer-Améry en tant que sujet et sur son oeuvre d’écrivain.

Abstract:

Jean Améry was born in Austria in 1912 under the name of Hans Mayer. Escaped in Belgium, he is arrested in 1943 by the Gestapo, tortured because of his implication in the Resistance and eventually sent to the concentration camp of Auschwitz as a Jew.

He survives the camp and lapses into silence for twenty years; in 1965 he publishes At the Mind’s Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and Its Realities, a collection of five essays in which personal experiences mix up with philosophic speculation. One of them is entirely about torture.

A fundamental biographical event, defining his individual identity whereas the concentration camp experience relates to a «collective destiny», torture is the central nub of his work. Interpreting torture as a destructive trauma, firstly I will examine the essay dealing with it, then its often unexpected presence in the other works of the author, finally its linguistic consequences both on Mayer-Améry as an individual and on his writing.

description: We study the linear large $n$ behavior of the average number of distinct sites $S(n)$ visited by a random walker after $n$ steps on a large random graph. An expression for the graph topology dependent prefactor $B$ in $S(n) = Bn$ is proposed. We use generating function techniques to relate this prefactor to the graph adjacency matrix and then devise message-passing equations to calculate its value. Numerical simulations are performed to evaluate the agreement between the message passing predictions and random walk simulations on random graphs. Scaling with system size and average graph connectivity are also analysed.

description: We introduce 21CMMC: a parallelized, Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis tool, incorporating the epoch of reionization (EoR) seminumerical simulation 21CMFAST. 21CMMC estimates astrophysical parameter constraints from 21 cm EoR experiments, accommodating a variety of EoR models, as well as priors on model parameters and the reionization history. To illustrate its utility, we consider two different EoR scenarios, one with a single population of galaxies (with a mass-independent ionizing efficiency) and a second, more general model with two different, feedback-regulated populations (each with mass-dependent ionizing efficiencies). As an example, combining three observations (z=8, 9 and 10) of the 21 cm power spectrum with a conservative noise estimate and uniform model priors, we find that interferometers with specifications like the Low Frequency Array/Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA)/Square Kilometre Array 1 (SKA1) can constrain common reionization parameters: the ionizing efficiency (or similarly the escape fraction), the mean free path of ionizing photons and the log of the minimum virial temperature of star-forming haloes to within 45.3/22.0/16.7, 33.5/18.4/17.8 and 6.3/3.3/2.4 per cent, ~$1σ$ fractional uncertainty, respectively. Instead, if we optimistically assume that we can perfectly characterize the EoR modelling uncertainties, we can improve on these constraints by up to a factor of ~few. Similarly, the fractional uncertainty on the average neutral fraction can be constrained to within $\lesssim10$ per cent for HERA and SKA1. By studying the resulting impact on astrophysical constraints, 21CMMC can be used to optimize (i) interferometer designs; (ii) foreground cleaning algorithms; (iii) observing strategies; (iv) alternative statistics characterizing the 21 cm signal; and (v) synergies with other observational programs.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3 imaging and grism spectroscopy observations of the {\it Herschel}-selected gravitationally-lensed starburst galaxy HATLASJ1429-0028. The lensing system consists of an edge-on foreground disk galaxy at $z=0.218$ with a nearly complete Einstein ring of the infrared luminous galaxy at $z=1.027$. The WFC3 spectroscopy with G102 and G141 grisms, covering the wavelength range of 0.8 to 1.7 $μ$m, resulted in detections of H$α$+[NII], H$β$, [SII], and [OIII] for the background galaxy from which we measure line fluxes and ratios. The Balmer line ratio H$α$/H$β$ of $7.5 \pm 4.4$, when corrected for [NII], results in an extinction for the starburst galaxy of $E(B-V)=0.8 \pm 0.5$. The $Hα$ based star-formation rate, when corrected for extinction, is $60 \pm 50$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, lower than the instantaneous star-formation rate of 390 $\pm$ 90 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ from the total IR luminosity. We also compare the nebular line ratios of HATLASJ1429-0028 with other star-forming and sub-mm bright galaxies. The nebular line ratios are consistent with an intrinsic ultra-luminous infrared galaxy with no evidence for excitation by an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We estimate the metallicity, $12 + log(O/H)$, of HATLASJ1429-0028 to be 8.49 $\pm$ 0.16. Such a low value is below the average relations for stellar mass vs. metallicity of galaxies at $z \sim 1$ for a galaxy with stellar mass of $\sim 2 \times 10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$. The combination of high stellar mass, lack of AGN indicators, low metallicity, and the high star-formation rate of HATLASJ1429-0028 suggest that this galaxy is currently undergoing a rapid formation.

description: Improving road safety and reducing the number of accidents is one of the top priorities for the automotive industry. As human driving behaviour is one of the top causation factors of road accidents, research is working towards removing control from the human driver by automating functions and finally introducing a fully Autonomous Vehicle (AV). A Collision Avoidance System (CAS) is one of the key safety systems for an AV, as it ensures all potential threats ahead of the vehicle are identified and appropriate action is taken. This research focuses on the task of vehicle detection, which is the base of a CAS, and attempts to produce an effective vehicle detector based on the data coming from a low-cost monocular camera. Developing a robust CAS based on low-cost sensor is crucial to bringing the cost of safety systems down and in this way, increase their adoption rate by end users. In this work, detectors are developed based on the two main approaches to vehicle detection using a monocular camera. The first is the traditional image processing approach where visual cues are utilised to generate potential vehicle locations and at a second stage, verify the existence of vehicles in an image. The second approach is based on a Convolutional Neural Network, a computationally expensive method that unifies the detection process in a single pipeline. The goal is to determine which method is more appropriate for real-time applications. Following the first approach, a vehicle detector based on the combination of HOG features and SVM classification is developed. The detector attempts to optimise performance by modifying the detection pipeline and improve run-time performance. For the CNN-based approach, six different network models are developed and trained end to end using collected data, each with a different network structure and parameters, in an attempt to determine which combination produces the best results. The evaluation of the different vehicle detectors produced some interesting findings; the first approach did not manage to produce a working detector, while the CNN-based approach produced a high performing vehicle detector with an 85.87% average precision and a very low miss rate. The detector managed to perform well under different operational environments (motorway, urban and rural roads) and the results were validated using an external dataset. Additional testing of the vehicle detector indicated it is suitable as a base for safety applications such as CAS, with a run time performance of 12FPS and potential for further improvements.

description: Medical image synthesis is a challenging task due to the scarcity of paired data. Several methods have applied CycleGAN to leverage unpaired data, but they often generate inaccurate mappings that shift the anatomy. This problem is further exacerbated when the images from the source and target modalities are heavily misaligned. Recently, current methods have aimed to address this issue by incorporating a supplementary segmentation network. Unfortunately, this strategy requires costly and time-consuming pixel-level annotations. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes MaskGAN, a novel and cost-effective framework that enforces structural consistency by utilizing automatically extracted coarse masks. Our approach employs a mask generator to outline anatomical structures and a content generator to synthesize CT contents that align with these structures. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MaskGAN outperforms state-of-the-art synthesis methods on a challenging pediatric dataset, where MR and CT scans are heavily misaligned due to rapid growth in children. Specifically, MaskGAN excels in preserving anatomical structures without the need for expert annotations. The code for this paper can be found at https://github.com/HieuPhan33/MaskGAN.

description: Over the past decades, skilled and unskilled households in Western economies have been making increasingly different location choices. College graduates cluster in dense, urban regions to a considerably larger extent than high school graduates. This thesis tries to make progress in understanding the driving forces behind the diverging location choices of different groups of workers and their implications for regional disparities, policies and welfare. It consists of three self-contained essays that investigate the causes and consequences of geographic worker sorting using highly disaggregated microdata for Germany. Chapter 1 examines to what extent regional disparities in housing costs drive geographic worker sorting by skill. It further analyzes how place-based policies optimally respond to the observed trends. Chapters 2 and 3 investigate the effects of sorting by skill and demographics on regional wage disparities.
title: Dire l’indicible pour dire l’homme: la torture dans les récits de Vercors
Creators: name: Conti, Flavia
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2014

description: Résumé:

L’écrivain protéiforme Vercors, qui n’est généralement connu que pour avoir publié clandestinement, en 1942, Le Silence de la mer − un livre symbole de la Résistance intellectuelle française − est en réalité l’auteur de bien d’autres récits où les supplices endurés par les Juifs et les Résistants aux cours des ‘années noires’ font l’objet d’une narration fictionnelle témoignant de l’indicible horreur des camps avant même la prise de parole des écrivains censés représenter la ‘littérature concentrationnaire’ de première génération. Vercors dénonce aussi précocement, par son art de narrateur, les tortures perpétrées à l’encontre des civils pendant les ‘années algériennes’, dans le cadre d’un colonialisme désormais agonisant. Cette aptitude à se pencher sur des pans d’histoire trouble et refoulée de la France du XXe siècle se retrouve aujourd’hui chez des romanciers dont les ouvrages incarnent une tendance prononcée de la littérature française actuelle.

Abstract:

The protean writer Vercors, who is mostly known only for having clandestinely published in 1942 Le Silence de la mer [Put Out the Light] – a symbolic book for the French intellectual Resistance – is actually the author of many other stories where the tortures endured by Jews and Resistance members during the ‘Dark Years’ are the subject of a fictional narrative witnessing the unspeakable horror of the concentration camps even before the first-generation of Holocaust writers began to speak. Through his narrative art, Vercors also precociously denounces the acts of torture perpetrated against civilians during the ‘Algerian Years’, in a declining colonial setting. This tendency to focus on blurry and repressed pieces of Twentieth-Century French history can be found today among contemporary novelists whose works mark a significant literary trend in France.

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Several observations of transition discs show lopsided dust-distributions. A potential explanation is the formation of a large-scale vortex acting as a dust-trap at the edge of a gap opened by a giant planet. Numerical models of gap-edge vortices have thus far employed locally isothermal discs, but the theory of this vortex-forming or `Rossby wave' instability was originally developed for adiabatic discs. We generalise the study of planetary gap stability to non-isothermal discs using customised numerical simulations of disc-planet systems where the planet opens an unstable gap. We include in the energy equation a simple cooling function with cooling timescale $t_c=βΩ_k^{-1}$, where $Ω_k$ is the Keplerian frequency, and examine the effect of $β$ on the stability of gap edges and vortex lifetimes. We find increasing $β$ lowers the growth rate of non-axisymmetric perturbations, and the dominant azimuthal wavenumber $m$ decreases. We find a quasi-steady state consisting of one large-scale, over-dense vortex circulating the outer gap edge, typically lasting $O(10^3)$ orbits. Vortex lifetimes were found to generally increase with cooling times up to an optimal value, beyond which vortex lifetimes decrease. This non-monotonic dependence is qualitatively consistent with recent studies using strictly isothermal discs that vary the disc aspect ratio.

title: The magnetic deposition record in some Scandinavian peat profiles

Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: This study uses a range of magnetic parameters, eg. Susceptibility (X), Saturation Isothermal Remanence (SIRM), Anhysteretic Remanence (ARM), interparametric ratios (ARM/X, SIRM/X, SIRM/ARM) and coercivity of remanence data (IRM-n/SIRM, (BO)CR), coupled with various dating methods (eg. moss increment counting and radiometric dating) to estimate the magnetic deposition onto some Scandinavian peat bogs. The sites available included 4 from southern Finland, 5 from northern Finland, 2 from northern Norway and 1 from southern Denmark. In addition to the magnetic techniques, a range of chemical determinations (iron, copper, zinc, lead, nickel and, where available, manganese) have been made, or are utilised, for all the peat cores. The reproducibility of the primary magnetic deposition record at Kaurastensuo, southern Finland has been examined. The rise in magnetic particulate concentrations, termed the magnetic 'take-off', was consistently dated to about 1931 for 7 of the 8 cores used, regardless of hummock-hollow micro topography. The persistence of magnetic minerals over timescales of 101-103 years has been examined by means of long core profiles from 4 southern Finnish bogs. The mineral magnetic and heavy metal profiles (iron, copper, zinc, lead and nickel) were in reasonable accord with the development of the individual bogs above different mineral soils. The development of peat profiles is dated from between 8000-9000 years BP using 14C dates spanning both the ombrotrophic and minerotrophic phases. The availability of moss increment counts for the northern Scandinavian sites and 210Pb determinations for Draved Moss, southern Denmark and Mo-I-Rana, northern Norway, has allowed estimates of variation in the magnetic deposition to be made. The northern Scandinavian sites all show increasing deposition from 1900, although maximum surface deposition varies from site to site, between 1.24-22.6 10-6Am2yr-1. The magnetic deposition at Draved Moss was estimated to be 21.6 10-6Am2yr-1 at a subsurface maximum dated to between 1967-1978. The increase in lead deposition at Draved Moss is in reasonable agreement with that of published lead deposition profiles from the same site, using earlier attempts at 210Pb determinations. At Mo-I-Rana, northern Norway the maximum magnetic deposition value is estimated to be 8.65 10-6Am'yr-1 for the surface slice, spanning the last 21 years. Any spatial variation in deposition within the Scandinavian sites appears to be partly masked by site-specific features, for example the close proximity of industrial sources at 2 of the Finnish sites and the iron and steel works at Mo-I-Rana. Magnetic deposition at the latter site is in good agreement with the history of iron and steel production within the region since the turn of the century.

description: Proteome-wide crosslinking mass spectrometry studies have coincided with the advent of mass spectrometry (MS)-cleavable crosslinkers that can reveal the individual masses of the two crosslinked peptides. However, recently, such studies have also been published with noncleavable crosslinkers, suggesting that MS-cleavability is not essential. We therefore examined in detail the advantages and disadvantages of using the commonly used MS-cleavable crosslinker, disuccinimidyl sulfoxide (DSSO). Indeed, DSSO gave rise to signature peptide fragments with a distinct mass difference (doublet) for nearly all identified crosslinked peptides. Surprisingly, we could show that it was not these peptide masses that proved the main advantage of MS cleavability of the crosslinker, but improved peptide backbone fragmentation which reduces the ambiguity of peptide identifications. This also holds true for another commonly used MS-cleavable crosslinker, DSBU. We show furthermore that the more intricate MS3-based data acquisition approaches lack sensitivity and specificity, causing them to be outperformed by the simpler and faster stepped higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) method. This understanding will guide future developments and applications of proteome-wide crosslinking mass spectrometry.

description: The galilean genesis scenario is an alternative to inflation in which the universe starts expanding from Minkowski in the asymptotic past by violating the null energy condition stably. Several concrete models of galilean genesis have been constructed so far within the context of galileon-type scalar-field theories. We give a generic, unified description of the galilean genesis scenario in terms of the Horndeski theory, i.e., the most general scalar-tensor theory with second-order field equations. In doing so we generalize the previous models to have a new parameter (denoted by α) which results in controlling the evolution of the Hubble rate. The background dynamics is investigated to show that the generalized galilean genesis solution is an attractor, similarly to the original model. We also study the nature of primordial perturbations in the generalized galilean genesis scenario. In all the models described by our generalized genesis Lagrangian, amplification of tensor perturbations does not occur as opposed to what happens in quasi-de Sitter inflation. We show that the spectral index of curvature perturbations is determined solely from the parameter α and does not depend on the other details of the model. In contrast to the original model, a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of curvature perturbations is obtained for a specific choice of α.

description: As a way of addressing increasingly sophisticated problems, software professionals face the constant challenge of seeking improvement. However, for these individuals to enhance their skills, their process of studying and training must involve feedback that is both immediate and accurate. In the context of software companies, where the scale of professionals undergoing training is large, but the number of qualified professionals available for providing corrections is small, delivering effective feedback becomes even more challenging. To circumvent this challenge, this work presents an exploration of using Large Language Models (LLMs) to support the correction process of open-ended questions in technical training. In this study, we utilized ChatGPT to correct open-ended questions answered by 42 industry professionals on two topics. Evaluating the corrections and feedback provided by ChatGPT, we observed that it is capable of identifying semantic details in responses that other metrics cannot observe. Furthermore, we noticed that, in general, subject matter experts tended to agree with the corrections and feedback given by ChatGPT.

description: Cathryn Vasseleu writes of the exquisite tactility of light via an evocation of sensations such as penetration, dazzlement, ecstasy and pain. This concept, encountered early in my candidacy, became something of a technical guide to the operation of my camera, a methodology for practice-led research through which the sensuous qualities of light might inform the making of a photograph. Such close attention to the exquisite nature of light altered also my processes of observation. By attending to the behavior of light in the photography of Francesca Woodman and the materiality of her imagery, my research finds that Woodman’s photography taps into a significant moment in the history of contemporary studio glass and the early years of the renowned Pilchuck Glass School. This aspect of Woodman’s practice, which is absent from the immense body of literature concerned with her photography, calls for a deeper reading informed by theories of light that may be shared equally between the materiality of both glass and photography. The photographic works that are the outcomes of my studio research take this finding as a point of departure, deepening my exploration into the iconography of Woodman’s imagery by passing through Michael Fried’s kaleidoscopic readings of Caravaggio’s paintings, representations of the body and grace in Ancient Roman and Renaissance art and feminist theory. In this way my studio practice shifted from subjects of the sublime and of landscape, spiraling tightly inwards before coming to rest in a poetic re-configuration of self-portraiture.

description: We describe the effect of power-law initial distributions of clusters on ordinary percolation and its generalizations, specifically, models of explosive percolation processes based on local optimization. These aggregation processes were shown to exhibit continuous phase transitions if the evolution starts from a set of disconnected nodes. Since the critical exponents of the order parameter in explosive percolation transitions turned out to be very small, these transitions were first believed to be discontinuous. In this article we analyze the evolution starting from clusters of nodes whose sizes are distributed according to a power law. We show that these initial distributions change dramatically the position and order of the phase transitions in these problems. We find a particular initial power-law distribution producing a peculiar effect on explosive percolation, namely before the emergence of the percolation cluster, the system is in a "critical phase" with an infinite generalized susceptibility. This critical phase is absent in ordinary percolation models with any power-law initial conditions. The transition from the critical phase is an infinite order phase transition, which resembles the scenario of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. We obtain the critical singularity of susceptibility at this peculiar infinite-order transition in explosive percolation. It turns out that the susceptibility in this situation does not obey the Curie-Weiss law.

description: 'Marked for Botany Bay' examines the Irish penal transportation system from its origins in the 1780s to its wide utilisation in the aftermath of the 1798 Rebellion. The selection of New South Wales as the principal site for the exile of political prisoners is placed in its proper context. Alternative modes of late Eighteenth century prisoner disposal are also considered in order to highlight the specific characteristics of rebel convictism and transportation policies. The large and militant Wicklow United Irish organization has been chosen as a case study group to chart the transportation process as it evolved in the face of the revolutionary challenges of the 1790s. Salient law and order issues such as Eighteenth century views on exemplary and summary justice are detailed to yield insights into the changing status of political prisoners from 1791-1805. Underused and new sources have been consulted to assess Government, convict, international and colonial perspectives on transportation from Ireland. This has generated a much fuller picture of the convict experience than hitherto available throwing fresh light on the mechanisms and nature of transportation. Matters arising from United Irish structures and their modus operandi at home and abroad are also discussed in depth to facilitate a fuller understanding of convict militancy in exile.

description: Recent work in the literature has shown that the one-loop long distance quantum corrections to the Newtonian potential imply tiny but observable effects in the restricted three-body problem of celestial mechanics, i.e., at the Lagrangian libration points of stable equilibrium the planetoid is not exactly at equal distance from the two bodies of large mass, but the Newtonian values of its coordinates are changed by a few millimeters in the Earth-Moon system. First, we assess such a theoretical calculation by exploiting the full theory of the quintic equation, i.e., its reduction to Bring-Jerrard form and the resulting expression of roots in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. By performing the numerical analysis of the exact formulas for the roots, we confirm and slightly improve the theoretical evaluation of quantum corrected coordinates of Lagrangian libration points of stable equilibrium. Second, we prove in detail that also for collinear Lagrangian points the quantum corrections are of the same order of magnitude in the Earth-Moon system. Third, we discuss the prospects to measure, with the help of laser ranging, the above departure from the equilateral triangle picture, which is a challenging task. On the other hand, a modern version of the planetoid is the solar sail, and much progress has been made, in recent years, on the displaced periodic orbits of solar sails at all libration points, both stable and unstable. The present paper investigates therefore, eventually, a restricted three-body problem involving Earth, Moon and a solar sail. By taking into account the one-loop quantum corrections to the Newtonian potential, displaced periodic orbits of the solar sail at libration points are again found to exist.

Generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov Reductions and KdV Type Hierarchies

description: Generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov (DS) hierarchies are constructed through local reductions of Hamiltonian flows generated by monodromy invariants on the dual of a loop algebra. Following earlier work of De Groot et al, reductions based upon graded regular elements of arbitrary Heisenberg subalgebras are considered. We show that, in the case of the nontwisted loop algebra $\ell(gl_n)$, graded regular elements exist only in those Heisenberg subalgebras which correspond either to the partitions of $n$ into the sum of equal numbers $n=pr$ or to equal numbers plus one $n=pr+1$. We prove that the reduction belonging to the grade $1$ regular elements in the case $n=pr$ yields the $p\times p$ matrix version of the Gelfand-Dickey $r$-KdV hierarchy, generalizing the scalar case $p=1$ considered by DS. The methods of DS are utilized throughout the analysis, but formulating the reduction entirely within the Hamiltonian framework provided by the classical r-matrix approach leads to some simplifications even for $p=1$.

description: The partition function for unitary two matrix models is known to be a double KP tau-function, as well as providing solutions to the two dimensional Toda hierarchy. It is shown how it may also be viewed as a Borel sum regularization of divergent sums over products of Schur functions in the two sequences of associated KP flow variables.

title: Population and change : A study of the spatial variations in population growth in north east Somerset and west Wiltshire, 1701-1800.

description: This dissertation attempts to show how the study of the variations in demographic experience between different types of communities can advance the understanding of the processes of English population growth in the past, particularly during the period of rapid economic change in the eighteenth century. Attention is concentrated on an area of fifty-two parishes, centered around the border of North East Somerset and West Wiltshire, which contained communities involved in a variety of economic activities. The principal objective is to demonstrate the relationships between economic developments and demographic change and more especially to emphasize the inter-relatedness of events in different communities, each of which fits into a complex regional system. The process of investigation is in three stages: first, aggregated annual totals of baptisms, burials and marriages (taken from parish registers and related documents) are used to analyse the general chronology of population change in the area as a whole and explanations for the acceleration and timing of growth are discussed. Secondly, similarities in the experiences of the constituent communities are studied and these provide the basis for the definition ~f groups of parishes with common sets of attributes. Movements of people between these groups are found to be an important element of regional population change. And thirdly, more detailed analytical techniques are used to investigate the processes of population change within individual communities. This indicates significant spatial differences in the fertility of populations and a study of the persistency of families identifies to what extent these differences arose because of spatial variations in environmental and economic conditions or because of the redistribution of population. The overall conclusion is that population change in a particular place, at a particular time cannot be fully explained without an understanding of changes that took place in other parts of the region in earlier generations.
An Analysis of the Wave Equation for the $U(1)^{2}$ Gauged Supergravity Black Hole

description: We study the massless Klein-Gordon equation in the background of the most general rotating dyonic AdS black hole in gauged $\mathcal{N}=2$, $U(1)^{2}$ gauged supergravity in $D=4$, given by Chow and Compère [Phys. Rev. D\textbf{89} (2014) 065003]. The angular part of the separable wave equation is of the Heun type, while the radial part is a Fuchsian equation with five regular singularities. The radial equation is further analyzed and written in a specific form, that reveals the pole structure of the horizon equation, whose residua are expressed in terms of the surface gravities and angular velocities associated with respective horizons. The near-horizon (near-)extremal limits of the solution are also studied, where the expected hidden conformal symmetry is revealed. Furthermore, we present the retarded Green's functions for these limiting cases. We also comment on the generality of the charge-dependent parts of the metric parameters and address some further examples of limiting cases.

description: We report on the modification of the g-factor by an in-plane electric field in an In$_{0.031}$Ga$_{0.969}$As epilayer. We performed external magnetic field scans of the Kerr rotation of the InGaAs film in order to independently determine the g-factor and the spin-orbit fields. The g-factor increases from $-0.4473\pm0.0001$ at 0 V/cm to $-0.4419\pm0.0001$ at 25 V/cm applied along the [1$\overline{1}$0] crystal axis. In addition, spatially-resolved spin measurements show a g-factor dependence on diffusive velocity. The change in g-factor with electric field can have a large effect on the determination of the internal spin-orbit and nuclear fields from Larmor precession frequency measurements.

Search for resonances and quantum black holes using dijet mass spectra in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: A search for resonances and quantum black holes is performed using the dijet mass spectra measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. In a search for narrow resonances that couple to quark-quark, quark-gluon, or gluon-gluon pairs, model-independent upper limits, at 95% confidence level, are obtained on the production cross section of resonances, with masses above 1.2 TeV. When interpreted in the context of specific models the limits exclude: string resonances with masses below 5.0 TeV; excited quarks below 3.5 TeV; scalar diquarks below 4.7 TeV; W' bosons below 1.9 TeV or between 2.0 and 2.2 TeV; Z' bosons below 1.7 TeV; and Randall-Sundrum gravitons below 1.6 TeV. A separate search is conducted for narrow resonances that decay to final states including b quarks. The first exclusion limit is set for excited b quarks, with a lower mass limit between 1.2 and 1.6 TeV depending on their decay properties. Searches are also carried out for wide resonances, assuming for the first time width-to-mass ratios up to 30%, and for quantum black holes with a range of model parameters. The wide resonance search excludes axigluons and colorons with mass below 3.6 TeV, and color-octet scalars with mass below 2.5 TeV. Lower bounds between 5.0 and 6.3 TeV are set on the masses of quantum black holes.

description: Coherent control of a system involves steering an interaction to a final coherent state by controlling the phase of an applied field. Plasmas support coherent wave structures that can be generated by intense laser fields. Here, we demonstrate the coherent control of plasma dynamics in a laser wakefield electron acceleration experiment. A genetic algorithm is implemented using a deformable mirror with the electron beam signal as feedback, which allows a heuristic search for the optimal wavefront under laser-plasma conditions that is not known a priori. We are able to improve both the electron beam charge and angular distribution by an order of magnitude. These improvements do not simply correlate with having the `best' focal spot, since the highest quality vacuum focal spot produces a greatly inferior electron beam, but instead correspond to the particular laser phase that steers the plasma wave to a final state with optimal accelerating fields.
