A Raman fibre amplifier generating simultaneous gain across multiple Stokes orders by using step shaped optical pulses
No full textOptical amplification based on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in optical fibres offers the potential to generate gain at any arbitrary wavelength with an appropriate pump source. This has proved a very effective and successful way of providing gain at those wavelengths not directly available with rare-earth doped fibres. However most of this success has been achieved using CW pump sources, but in recent years there has been renewed interest in the pulsed pumping of Raman amplifiers

Automating Author Gender Identification from Blogs
No full textThe rapid growth of public blogging on the Internet has opened up a vast trove of information that can be text mined for potential insights. This study explores the potential of automating blog author gender based on differences in lexical expressions. The results of this study were mixed, and further refinement is needed.Master of Science in Information Scienc
A mathematical model for interfacial charge transfer at the semiconductor–dye–electrolyte interface of a dye-sensitised solar cell
No full textA mathematical model for the interfacial charge transfer within dye-sensitised solar cells (DSC) is presented for the semiconductor–dye–electrolyte interface. The model explicitly accounts for each reaction at the interface involving dye molecules, electrolyte species and adsorbed electrons associated with the conduction band surface states of the semiconductor. Additionally, the model accounts for photoelectron injection via singlet and triplet excited dye states. The governing equations can be used to describe the total current produced by the DSC under illuminated and non-illuminated conditions, at steady state. Regular perturbation methods are applied to the model equations to obtain closed form analytic approximations, resulting in approximate solutions that negate the need for numerical solution of the model system. All parameter values associated with the model are obtained from the literature and from experimental data. The presented numerical results and analytic approximations compare favourably to experimental data, capturing the interfacial characteristics of current versus voltage curves of the DSC
Measurement of the and production cross sections in multilepton final states using 3.2 fb of collisions at = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textSee paper for full list of authors - 22 pages plus author list + cover page (40 pages total), 8 figures, 5 tables. Submitted to Eur. Phys. J. C. All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/TOPQ-2015-22/International audienceA measurement of the and production cross sections in final states with either two same-charge muons, or three or four leptons (electrons or muons) is presented. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb. The inclusive cross sections are extracted using likelihood fits to signal and control regions, resulting in pb and pb, in agreement with the Standard Model predictions

Rewriting history : postmodern and postcolonial negotiations in the fiction of J.G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie
No full textThis thesis is a study of the rewriting of history in the work of four novelists: J. G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie. I argue that their work occupies a particular position that is both within contemporary British fiction, yet at one remove from it.
Their work is situated within the context of critiques of history that are the source of a conflict between postmodernism and postcolonialism. I suggest that each writer engages with postmodemist aesthetics often in an attempt to produce critical histones that bear witness to the voices of those hitherto silenced in conventional historiography. However, these novelists remain anxious as to the potential consequences of mobilising postmodernist models of history, particularly as to the problems this creates concerning historical reference. The thesis aims to
identify the range of related attitudes to postmodernist critiques of history at this particular juncture of contemporary fiction in English.
I approach the specific position of the novelists under study through Homi Bhabha's work on the confluence of the postmodern and the postcolonial, focusing in particular on his suggestion that the postmodem refutation of Western epistemology enables a postcolonial space where a new range of histories emerge. Because each writer works between at least two cultures, and primarily within Britain, they negotiate from within received epistemology in an attempt to locate a space at its boundaries where conventional forms of knowledge no longer have efficacy. However, in contrast to Bhabha, these writers struggle to reach this space and remain sceptical as to the usefulness of postmodernism in making available new forms of
historiography. Ultimately, their work enables a critique of current ways of theorising the relationship between the postmodem and the postcolonial in literary studies
Remarks on a conjecture of Gromov and Lawson
No full textGromov and Lawson conjectured in [GL2] that a closed spin manifold M of dimension n with fundamental group π admits a positive scalar curvature metric if and only if an associated element in KOn(Bπ) vanishes. In this note we present counter examples to the ‘if’ part of this conjecture for groups π which are torsion free and whose classifying space is a manifold with negative curvature (in the Alexandrov sense)
