Exploring Chronic Respiratory Disease Care using Statistical Modelling and Routine Data
Creators: name: Mountain, Rachael
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Chronic respiratory disease represents a significant burden to healthcare
 services and wider society. Patients benefit from early diagnosis and
 effective disease management, yet few patients in England are receiving
 the recommended levels of care. NHS services are increasingly under
 pressure from an ageing population, as well as disruption following the
 COVID-19 pandemic, raising important questions about how services can
 evolve to improve efficiency and standard of care. This thesis explores
 chronic respiratory disease care using two contrasting approaches. First,
 Chapters 2 and 3 utilise routinely collected health data from the
 Morecambe Bay area and provide insight into the impact of a local
 integrated care initiative. Spatio-temporal methodology is used to model
 referrals to outpatient respiratory clinics and a thorough data review is
 conducted to consider the challenge of measuring diagnostic quality. These
 studies exemplify different approaches to overcoming barriers encountered
 when using routine data for research purposes. Second, Chapters 4 and 5
 apply a discrete-event microsimulation model for chronic obstructive
 pulmonary disease in the Canadian population to questions in the field of
 health economics and outcomes research. Simulated data is used to analyse
 the impact of interventions, both for identifying patients at an earlier
 stage in the disease progression and earlier initiation of more intensive
 pharmacotherapy to improve patient quality-of-life. The discussion points
 of these studies link to key NHS goals for respiratory disease. This
 thesis demonstrates the role of both routine and simulated data in
 healthcare research by providing insight into service utilisation,
 diagnostics, earlier detection of disease, and therapeutic management.
 However, neither approach is without limitations. Future research could
 focus on further developing methods for synthetic data, a means of using
 simulation to enhance the rich routine data landscape in England in order
 for research to be carried out in a safe and effective way.

description: We consider one copy of a quantum system prepared in one of two orthogonal pure states, entangled or otherwise, and distributed between any number of parties. We demonstrate that it is possible to identify which of these two states the system is in by means of local operations and classical communication alone. The protocol we outline is both completely reliable and completely general - it will correctly distinguish any two orthogonal states 100% of the time.

Challenging Urban Anaesthetics: Beauty and Contradiction in Georg Simmel’s Rome
Creators: name: Reeh, Henrik
Publisher: name: The Journal of Somaesthetics
Year: 2020

description: Georg Simmel, philosopher and sociologist in the Berlin of 1900, repeatedly searched for a conception of anaesthesia – ”Blasiertheit” – capable of addressing a reality of consumption, money and metropolis. Given the generic presence of a blasé attitude in big cities, according to Simmel, one might expect the roles of aesthetics and sensory experience, let alone beauty, to be minimal or non-existent. This observation may indeed apply to Simmel’s everyday environments of modernity in Northern Europe, such as in his homecity Berlin. Yet modern subjects are on the move. So is Simmel during a prolonged stay in Rome 1898, a place (Urbs, in fact) which invites him to reconsider the relationship of city and beauty, as well as that of elements and totality. An anonymously published fragment by Simmel (1899) goes even further. Here, a particular experience of Rome reveals contrasts and fosters a principle of contradiction that may, in turn, leave room for aesthetic experience in modern urban culture. Following Simmel’s footsteps in Rome, 120 years after, one may explore the only site that Simmel names and comments on according to somaesthetic and urban-cultural guidelines. While many would expect spectacularizing tourism to have taken control, reality proves more complex. An urban lifeworld is at play and generates a surprised feeling of beauty in the foreign visitor who happens to re-visit this site, listening to children’s voices and sensing their playful movements there as contributions to a somaesthetically informed experience of beauty and city alike.

description: One of the greatest data analysis challenges for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the need to account for a large number of gravitational wave signals from compact binary systems expected to be present in the data. We introduce the basis of a Bayesian method that we believe can address this challenge, and demonstrate its effectiveness on a simplified problem involving one hundred synthetic sinusoidal signals in noise. We use a reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo technique to infer simultaneously the number of signals present, the parameters of each identified signal, and the noise level. Our approach therefore tackles the detection and parameter estimation problems simultaneously, without the need to evaluate formal model selection criteria, such as the Akaike Information Criterion or explicit Bayes factors. The method does not require a stopping criterion to determine the number of signals, and produces results which compare very favorably with classical spectral techniques.

How can there be beauty in participatory art?
Creators: name: Heinrich, Falk
Publisher: name: The Journal of Somaesthetics
Year: 2020

description: The article proposes a notion of beauty that is relevant to participatory art and culture. The article emphasizes the experiential aspect of the concept of beauty, identifying this part as enacted intensity, in which all heterogeneous constituents create moments of experienced unity. Unity is not understood as static phenomena but as a cycle of intensity and release that relate to (inter)action and understanding. The article elaborates an experiential unity of beauty based on Deleuze and Gadamer. Höller’s Test Site and Seghal’s This Success/This Failure serve as concrete works of art to test, validate, and specify the proposed theory.

The Beauty of Mathematical Order
Creators: name: Pedersen, Esther Oluffa
Publisher: name: The Journal of Somaesthetics
Year: 2020

description: Since antiquity mathematics has been identified as a science that allows us humans to comprehend the inner workings of harmony and in Greek philosophy mathematical form is celebrated as an eminent source of beauty. Greek cosmology makes up a principal reason for the strong connection between mathematics and beauty in Greek philosophy. Of course, even in ancient Greece the concept of beauty was not exhausted by objects which can be grasped mathematically. So in a modern context it would be even more peculiar to argue for a necessary connection between beauty and mathematics. My focus is much humbler as I want to illuminate how mathematics continues to have a role to play in certain conceptions of beauty. The two examples I consider are taken from design and poetry respectively, namely the invention of the super-ellipse by the Danish designer, poet, mathematician and artist, Piet Hein and the collection of poems called Alphabet by the Danish poet Inger Christensen.

Difference in proton radii of mirror nuclei as a possible surrogate for the neutron skin

description: It has been recently suggested that differences in the charge radii of mirror nuclei are proportional to the neutron-skin thickness of neutron-rich nuclei and to the slope of the symmetry energy $L$ [B.A. Brown Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 122502 (2017)]. The determination of the neutron skin has important implications for nuclear physics and astrophysics. Although the use of electroweak probes provides a largely model-independent determination of the neutron skin, the experimental challenges are enormous. Thus, the possibility that differences in the charge radii of mirror nuclei may be used as a surrogate for the neutron skin is a welcome alternative. To test the validity of this assumption we perform calculations based on a set of relativistic energy density functionals that span a wide region of values of $L$. Our results confirm that the difference in charge radii of various neutron-deficient nickel isotopes and their corresponding mirror nuclei is indeed strongly correlated to both the neutron-skin thickness and $L$. Moreover, given that various neutron-star properties are also sensitive to $L$, a data-to-data relation emerges between the difference in charge radii of mirror nuclei and the radius of low-mass neutron stars.

Fine Art as the “Art of Living”: Johann Gottfried Herder’s Calligone Reconsidered from a Somaesthetic Point of View
Creators: name: Otabe, Tanehisa
Publisher: name: The Journal of Somaesthetics
Year: 2020

description: Inspired by Shusterman’s concept of philosophy as an “embodied art of living,” this paper revisits Johann Gottfried Herder’s late Calligone (1800) from a somaesthetic point of view, arguing firstly that Herder’s theory of the agreeable and the beautiful is based on his conception of aesthetics as a theory of the senses; and secondly that Herder’s theory of art focuses on the relationship between art and life. Calligone should accordingly be re-evaluated, this paper maintains, in light of a recent development in aesthetics: from the philosophy of art to what is known as somaesthetics, aisthetics, or everyday aesthetics.

description: Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.) is a salt and drought tolerant legume suitable for rehabilitating abandoned saline lands, especially in dry arid regions. We hypothesized that soil amended with maize-derived biochar might alleviate salt stress in licorice by improving its growth, nutrient acquisition, and root system adaptation. Experiments were designed to determine the effect of different biochar concentrations on licorice growth parameters, acquisition of C (carbon), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) and on soil enzyme activities under saline and non-saline soil conditions. Pyrolysis char from maize (600 °C) was used at concentrations of 2% (B2), 4% (B4), and 6% (B6) for pot experiments. After 40 days, biochar improved the shoot and root biomass of licorice by 80 and 41% under saline soil conditions. However, B4 and B6 did not have a significant effect on shoot growth. Furthermore, increased nodule numbers of licorice grown at B4 amendment were observed under both non-saline and saline conditions. The root architectural traits, such as root length, surface area, project area, root volume, and nodulation traits, also significantly increased by biochar application at both B2 and B4. The concentrations of N and K in plant tissue increased under B2 and B4 amendments compared to the plants grown without biochar application. Moreover, the soil under saline conditions amended with biochar showed a positive effect on the activities of soil fluorescein diacetate hydrolase, proteases, and acid phosphomonoesterases. Overall, this study demonstrated the beneficial effects of maize-derived biochar on growth and nutrient uptake of licorice under saline soil conditions by improving nodule formation and root architecture, as well as soil enzyme activity.

description: From a hydrodynamicist's point of view the inclusion of viscosity concepts in the macroscopic theory of the cosmic fluid would appear most natural, as an ideal fluid is after all an abstraction (excluding special cases such as superconductivity). Making use of modern observational results for the Hubble parameter plus standard Friedmann formalism, we may extrapolate the description of the universe back in time up to the inflationary era, or we may go to the opposite extreme and analyze the probable ultimate fate of the universe. In this review we discuss a variety of topics in cosmology when it is enlarged in order to contain a bulk viscosity. Various forms of this viscosity, when expressed in terms of the fluid density or the Hubble parameter, are discussed. Furthermore, we consider homogeneous as well as inhomogeneous equations of state. We investigate viscous cosmology in the early universe, examining the viscosity effects on the various inflationary observables. Additionally, we study viscous cosmology in the late universe, containing current acceleration and the possible future singularities, and we investigate how one may even unify inflationary and late-time acceleration. Finally, we analyze the viscosity-induced crossing through the quintessence-phantom divide, we examine the realization of viscosity-driven cosmological bounces, and we briefly discuss how the Cardy-Verlinde formula is affected by viscosity.

description: We introduce ANNz, a freely available software package for photometric redshift estimation using Artificial Neural Networks. ANNz learns the relation between photometry and redshift from an appropriate training set of galaxies for which the redshift is already known. Where a large and representative training set is available ANNz is a highly competitive tool when compared with traditional template-fitting methods. The ANNz package is demonstrated on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1, and for this particular data set the r.m.s. redshift error in the range 0 < z < 0.7 is 0.023. Non-ideal conditions (spectroscopic sets which are small, or which are brighter than the photometric set for which redshifts are required) are simulated and the impact on the photometric redshift accuracy assessed.

description: Numerous reports confirm the positive effect of biochar application on soil properties and plant development. However, the interaction between root-associated beneficial microbes and different types of biochar is not well understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the plant growth of lettuce after the application of three types of biochar in loamy, sandy soil individually and in combination with plant-beneficial microbes. Furthermore, total microbial activity in rhizosphere soil of lettuce was measured by means of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolase and enzyme activities linked to carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling. We used three types of biochar: (i) pyrolysis char from cherry wood (CWBC), (ii) pyrolysis char from wood (WBC), and (iii) pyrolysis char from maize (MBC) at 2% concentration. Our results showed that pyrolysis biochars positively affected plant interaction with microbial inoculants. Plant dry biomass grown on soil amended with MBC in combination with Klebsiella sp. BS13 and Klebsiella sp. BS13 + Talaromyces purpureogenus BS16aPP inoculants was significantly increased by 5.8% and 18%, respectively, compared to the control plants. Comprehensively, interaction analysis showed that the biochar effect on soil enzyme activities involved in N and P cycling depends on the type of microbial inoculant. Microbial strains exhibited plant growth-promoting traits, including the production of indole 3-acetic-acid and hydrogen cyanide and phosphate-solubilizing ability. The effect of microbial inoculant also depends on the biochar type. In summary, these findings provide new insights into the understanding of the interactions between biochar and microbial inoculants, which may affect lettuce growth and development.
Classical nucleation theory in the phase-field crystal model

description: A full understanding of polycrystalline materials requires studying the process of nucleation, a thermally activated phase transition that typically occurs at atomistic scales. The numerical modeling of this process is problematic for traditional numerical techniques: commonly used phase-field methods' resolution does not extend to the atomic scales at which nucleation takes places, while atomistic methods such as molecular dynamics are incapable of scaling to the mesoscale regime where late-stage growth and structure formation takes place following earlier nucleation. Consequently, it is of interest to examine nucleation in the more recently proposed phase-field crystal (PFC) model, which attempts to bridge the atomic and mesoscale regimes in microstructure simulations. In this work, we numerically calculate homogeneous liquid-to-solid nucleation rates and incubation times in the simplest version of the PFC model, for various parameter choices. We show that the model naturally exhibits qualitative agreement with the predictions of classical nucleation theory (CNT) despite a lack of some explicit atomistic features presumed in CNT. We also examine the early appearance of lattice structure in nucleating grains, finding disagreement with some basic assumptions of CNT. We then argue that a quantitatively correct nucleation theory for the PFC model would require extending CNT to a multi-variable theory.

description: Coincidence detection of single photons is crucial in numerous quantum technologies and usually requires multiple time-resolved single-photon detectors. However, the electronic readout becomes a major challenge when the measurement basis scales to large numbers of spatial modes. Here, we address this problem by introducing a two-terminal coincidence detector that enables scalable readout of an array of detector segments based on superconducting nanowire microstrip transmission line. Exploiting timing logic, we demonstrate a 16-element detector that resolves all 136 possible single-photon and two-photon coincidence events. We further explore the pulse shapes of the detector output and resolve up to four-photon coincidence events in a 4-element device, giving the detector photon-number-resolving capability. This new detector architecture and operating scheme will be particularly useful for multi-photon coincidence detection in large-scale photonic integrated circuits.

Beauty from a Pragmatist and Somaesthetic Perspective: A Conversation with Richard Shusterman
Creators: name: Heinrich, Falk
Publisher: name: The Journal of Somaesthetics
Year: 2020

description: Richard Shusterman is an American pragmatist philosopher, currently Dorothy F. Schmidt Eminent Scholar in the Humanities, Professor of Philosophy and English, and Director of the “Center for Body, Mind, and Culture” at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Shusterman is mostly known for his contributions in the field of pragmatist aesthetics and the emerging field of somaesthetics. Among the main topics of his original development of a pragmatist philosophical perspective one can mention experience (and aesthetic experience, in particular), the definition of art, the question of interpretation, the philosophical defense of the value and significance of popular art (in comparison to the frequent devaluation of the latter by many philosophers and intellectuals), the revaluation of the idea of philosophy as an art of living, and finally the strong emphasis of the role of the body in most (or perhaps all) human practices, activities and experiences. This deep concern for embodiment led to his proposing the field of somaesthetics, and eventually to the existence of The Journal of Somaesthetics, of which he is one of the founding editors. Since pragmatist aesthetics is one of the leading trends in contemporary aesthetics, and since beauty is one of the guiding concepts of all research in aesthetics since its foundation with Baumgarten and Kant until today, we thought it would be interesting to ask Shusterman about the role that beauty played in his philosophical thought and in his vision of somaesthetics.

description: Desertified land covers one-fourth of the world’s total land area. Meeting the high food demands in areas affected by desertification is a major problem. This case study provided fundamental information to demonstrate the potential for utilizing the desertified land. The soybean trial was established in two sandy clay loam soils (desertified land) and one silty clay loam soil. Two types of biochar were applied as treatments. We aimed to investigate the response of soybean plants to soil structure, soil nutrient condition, and biochar amendment in the two types of soil. In addition, ridge regression was employed to model the plant growth indicators by soil structure, soil nutrients condition, soil water content, and biochar amendment. We conclude that (1) overall soil productivity in sandy clay loam soil is lower than in silty clay loam soil. The sandy clay loam soil may have high efficacy for crop production due to its higher harvest index. (2) Aggregate size 0.5–1 mm, 1–2 mm, and 2–3 mm indicated more important in plant biomass formation in silty clay loam soil. The low aggregate stability of sandy clay loam soil made the field more vulnerable to wind erosion in the semi-arid monsoon climate. (3) Cob biochar and wood biochar increased soybean shoot biomass by 48.7% and 45.0% in silty clay loam soil. (4) The higher N-fixing ability of nodules in sandy clay loam soil indicates an advantage to reduce the use of N-fertilizers in desertified areas. (5) Exponential polynomial regression ameliorated the accuracy of prediction of plant growth indicators in comparison to linear regression.

description: Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are the primary means to modelling dynamical systems in many natural and engineering sciences. The number of equations required to describe a system with high heterogeneity limits our capability of effectively performing analyses. This has motivated a large body of research, across many disciplines, into abstraction techniques that provide smaller ODE systems while preserving the original dynamics in some appropriate sense. In this paper we give an overview of a recently proposed computer-science perspective to this problem, where ODE reduction is recast to finding an appropriate equivalence relation over ODE variables, akin to classical models of computation based on labelled transition systems.

The Aesthetic Enchantment Approach: From “Troubled” to “Engaged” Beauty

description: Aestheticians routinely wrestle with the asymmetry between aesthetic appreciation and “natural” beauty. In these pages, I develop the “Aesthetic Enchantment Approach” (AEA), which aims to reduce “aesthetic disillusionment” and to augment aesthetic enchantment, even for “degraded” sites. Its main claim is that stakeholders who work alongside scientists to reclaim environments cultivate environmental melioration, while boosting their wellbeing. AEA thus improves upon scientific cognitivism, since it inspires people to protect degraded sites ordinarily “deemed ugly or unsightly.”

description: The broad bean (Vicia faba L.) originated in the Near East, and is cultivated around the world, however, its cultivation is affected by drought stress in several central growing regions of the globe. The present study was designed to determine the effect of biochar on bean plant growth, acquisition of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) and on soil nutrient contents under drought and irrigated conditions. Pyrolysis char from maize (MBC) at 2 and 4% concentrations was used for pot experiments. The shoot and/or root biomass of bean grown in soil amended with 2 and 4% MBC under irrigated condition was increased. Furthermore, increased nodule numbers of bean grown at 4% MBC amendment was observed under both irrigated and drought conditions. P and K uptake of plants under drought conditions increased by 14% and 23% under 2% MBC amendment, and by 23% and 34% under 4% MBC amendment as compared to plants grown without biochar application, respectively. This study demonstrated beneficial effects of biochar produced from maize on growth and nutrient uptake of broad bean, by improving the nodule formation and soil nutritional contents in a sandy loam soil.

description: DNA shape readout is an important mechanism of target site recognition by transcription factors, in addition to the sequence readout. Several models of transcription factor-DNA binding which consider DNA shape have been developed in recent years. We present a new biophysical model of protein-DNA interaction by considering the DNA shape features, which is based on a neighbour dinucleotide dependency model BayesPI2. The parameters of the new model are restricted to a subspace spanned by the 2-mer DNA shape features, which allowing a biophysical interpretation of the new parameters as position-dependent preferences towards certain values of the features. Using the new model, we explore the variation of DNA shape preferences in several transcription factors across cancer cell lines and cellular conditions. We find evidence of DNA shape variations at FOXA1 binding sites in MCF7 cells after treatment with steroids. The new model is useful for elucidating finer details of transcription factor-DNA interaction. It may be used to improve the prediction of cancer mutation effects in the future.

description: (modified) We present a comprehensive study of the physical properties of \~10^5 galaxies with measurable star formation in the SDSS. By comparing physical information extracted from the emission lines with continuum properties, we build up a picture of the nature of star-forming galaxies at z<0.2. We take out essentially all aperture bias using resolved imaging, allowing an accurate estimate of the total SFRs in galaxies. We determine the SFR density to be 1.915^{+0.02}_{-0.01}(rand.)^{+0.14}_{-0.42} (sys.) h70 10^{-2} Msun/yr/Mpc^3 at z=0.1 (for a Kroupa IMF) and we study the distribution of star formation as a function of various physical parameters. The majority of the star formation in the low redshift universe takes place in moderately massive galaxies (10^10-10^11 Msun), typically in HSB disk galaxies. Roughly 15% of all star formation takes place in galaxies that show some sign of an active nucleus. About 20% occurs in starburst galaxies. We show that the present to past-average star formation rate, the Scalo b-parameter; is almost constant over almost three orders of magnitude in mass, declining only at M*>10^10 Msun. The volume averaged b parameter is 0.408^{+0.005}_{-0.002} (rand).^{+0.029}_{-0.090} (sys.) h70^{-1}. We use this value constrain the star formation history of the universe. In agreement with other work we find a correlation between $b$ and morphological type, as well as a tight correlation between the 4000AA break (D4000) and b. We discuss how D4000 can be used to estimate b parameters for high redshift galaxies.
description: Accepted for MNRAS. Replaced with accepted version. A section on comparison with other methods of SFR estimation added and various updates have been made. The main results are almost unchanged

description: Three dinuclear lanthanide complexes, [Ln2(L)2(μ3-OAc)4(H2O)2]⋅2H2O (Ln = La (1), Eu (2) and Dy (3), HL = N’-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) nicotinohydrazide), have been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Crystallographic study revealed that the representative complex 1 displays a discrete dinuclear structure with a distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry around La(III) ion. The interaction of complexes 1–3 with CT-DNA was investigated by absorption spectra, fluorescence quenching and viscosity, which reveals that the complexes bind to CT-DNA with a moderate intercalative mode. The complexes exhibited obvious DNA cleavage activities in the presence of H2O2. All complexes could bind to human serum albumin (HSA) with medium affinity through static mode; thus, HSA could effectively transport complexes. Furthermore, three complexes exhibited specific cytotoxicity to A549 cancer cells in micromole magnitude than other cancer cells tested and less toxicity than cisplatin for normal human cells HUVEC, in which massive cell apoptosis was induced by complexes through producing DNA damage and suppressing DNA synthesis.

description: In this paper we present new estimates of the coalescence rate of neutron star binaries in the local universe and we discuss its consequences for the first generations of ground based interferometers. Our approach based on both evolutionary and statistical methods gives a galactic merging rate of 1.7 10$^{-5}$ yr$^{-1}$, in the range of previous estimates 10$^{-6}$ - 10$^{-4}$ yr$^{-1}$. The local rate which includes the contribution of elliptical galaxies is two times higher, in the order of 3.4 10$^{-5}$ yr$^{-1}$. We predict one detection every 148 and 125 years with initial VIRGO and LIGO, and up to 6 events per year with their advanced configuration. Our recent detection rate estimates from investigations on VIRGO future improvements are quoted.
