The Effect of Gut Hormones on Metabolism and Energy Homeostasis
Creators: name: Hostomska, Klara
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The increasing prevalence of obesity, and its associated morbidity and mortality, together with limited treatment options, underscores an urgent need for investigation into effective therapeutic interventions. Gut hormones have been identified as integral factors in the regulation of appetite. This thesis examines two signalling systems involved in the gastrointestinal regulation of energy homeostasis: Peptide YY (PYY) and Proglucagon-derived peptides. PYY is a gut hormone released from the L cells of the intestine after the ingestion of food and elicits its effects via the Y2 receptor. The predominant circulating form of PYY, PYY3-36, has been shown to acutely reduce food intake when administered peripherally at physiological concentrations in both lean and obese rodents and humans. However, several groups have shown that continuous administration of PYY3-36 via osmotic mini-pumps results in a transient reduction in food intake. It has been suggested that an apparent desensitisation to the anorectic effects of PYY3-36 may be due to the physiological defence of body weight and counter regulatory mechanisms; however tolerance due to receptor downregulation may also occur. In this thesis, I aimed to elucidate if the transient anorectic effect of PYY3-36 is a result of direct tolerance to the peptide itself or if this is indirect, due to the homeostatic defence of body weight. I have shown that the anorectic effect of PYY3-36 is attenuated following prior exposure to a low dose, suggesting tolerance at the receptor level. In addition, animals which were food restricted preceding an infusion of PYY3-36 remained sensitive to the anorectic effects, suggesting that body weight change alone cannot result in the hyperphagic response. However, no change in Y2 mRNA receptor expression following PYY3-36 infusion was detected. The proglucagon peptide family includes the hormones Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Glucagon (GCG). GLP-1 is release from the L-cells of the intestine in response to food intake and has known actions as a satiety factor and incretin hormone. GCG is released under fasting conditions and in response to adrenergic stimulation to stimulate gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, as well as to increase energy expenditure. Recent evidence suggests that simultaneous co-agonism of the GLP-1 and GCG receptors may be beneficial to the treatment of obesity and diabetes. In this thesis, I explore the development of a GLP-1R and GCGR co-agonist which reduces food intake and increases energy expenditure in rodents. Furthermore, to investigate the mechanism of GCG agonism on energy expenditure, I evaluate the effect of the specific dual agonist, GX6, on metabolic gene expression in brown adipose tissue and the liver. Overall, this thesis evaluates the potential roles of PYY, GLP-1 and GCG receptor agonism as novel therapies for obesity.
Supersymmetric Index In Four-Dimensional Gauge Theories
Creators: name: Witten, Edward
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper is devoted to a systematic discussion of the supersymmetric index Tr (-1)^F for the minimal supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory -- with any simple gauge group G -- primarily in four spacetime dimensions. The index has refinements that probe confinement and oblique confinement and the possible spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and of global symmetries, such as charge conjugation, that are derived from outer automorphisms of the gauge group. Predictions for the index and its refinements are obtained on the basis of standard hypotheses about the infrared behavior of gauge theories. The predictions are confirmed via microscopic calculations which involve a Born-Oppenheimer computation of the spectrum as well as mathematical formulas involving triples of commuting elements of G and the Chern-Simons invariants of flat bundles on the three-torus.

description: This work presents a detailed investigation into the effect of a low Cu addition (0.01 at.%) on precipitation in an Al-0.80Mg-0.85Si alloy during ageing. The precipitate crystal structures were assessed by scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with a novel scanning precession electron diffraction approach, which includes machine learning. The combination of techniques enabled evaluation of the atomic arrangement within individual precipitates, as well as an improved estimate of precipitate phase fractions at each ageing condition, through analysis of a statistically significant number of precipitates. Based on the obtained results, the total amount of solute atoms locked inside precipitates could be approximated. It was shown that even with a Cu content close to impurity levels, the Al-Mg-Si system precipitation was significantly affected with overageing. The principal change was due to a gradually increasing phase fraction of the Cu-containing Q'-phase, which eventually was seen to dominate the precipitate structures. The structural overtake could be explained based on a continuous formation of the thermally stable Q'-phase, with Cu atomic columns incorporating less Cu than what could potentially be accommodated.

Stochastic Scheduling of Wind-Integrated Power Systems
Creators: name: Sturt, Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The cost of balancing supply and demand will increase as power systems are decarbonised, because the requirement for operating reserve will increase with the wind penetration, while the flexible fossil-fuel generators, which have been the traditional providers of reserve, will be displaced. While these costs can be mitigated through increased interconnection, energy storage, and demand-side market participation, a fundamental review of system operational policy is also needed to ensure that the available reserves are scheduled optimally. Stochastic Unit Commitment can find the commitment and dispatch decisions that minimise the expected system costs, including the potential costs of unserved energy, given the short-term uncertainties of wind and other variables. It therefore has the potential to provide the most efficient possible paradigm for the operation of wind-integrated systems. Because the system’s ability to respond to wind fluctuations is constrained by intertemporal limitations of the other components, time domain simulations are needed to assess the performance of different operational strategies or generator fleet characteristics. However, Stochastic Unit Commitment has demanding computational requirements that can render it impractical for long-term simulations of a large power system. This thesis develops a new tool for simulating the operation of large, wind-integrated power systems using stochastic scheduling, with the emphasis on computational efficiency. Embedded within it are new models for characterising time series of aggregated wind output and wind forecast errors; these models are integrated with a Stochastic Unit Commitment algorithm within a Monte Carlo framework. We explore simplifications that can mitigate the computational burden without unduly compromising the quality of the analysis. Simulations with the tool show that fully stochastic scheduling can reduce operating costs by around 4% relative to traditional deterministic approaches, in a system with a 50% wind penetration.
Quantum mechanics of topological solitons
Creators: name: Weir, David J.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Topological solitons - are of broad interest in physics. They are objects with localised energy and stability ensured by their topological properties. It is possible to create them during phase transitions which break some sym- metry in a frustrated system. They are ubiquitous in condensed matter, ranging from monopole excitations in spin ices to vortices in superconduc- tors. In such situations, their behaviour has been extensively studied. Less well understood and yet equally interesting are the symmetry-breaking phase transitions that could produce topological defects is the early universe. Grand unified theories generically admit the creation of cosmic strings and monopoles, amongst other objects. There is no reason to expect that the behaviour of such objects should be classical or, indeed, supersymmetric, so to fully understand the behaviour of these theories it is necessary to study the quantum properties of the associated topological defects. Unfortunately, the standard analytical tools for studying quantum field theory - including perturbation theory - do not work so well when applied to topological defects. Motivated by this realisation, this thesis presents numerical techniques for the study of topological solitons in quantum field theory. Calculations are carried out nonperturbatively within the framework of lattice Monte Carlo simulations. Methods are demonstrated which use correlation functions to study the mass, interaction form factors, dispersion relations and excitations of quantum topological solitons. Results are compared to exact expressions obtained from integrability, and to previous work using less sophisticated numerical techniques. The techniques developed are applied to the prototypical kink soliton and to the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole.

The energy spectrum is well fit by a power law with a photon index of 0.8, corresponding to an X-ray flux of about 10E-12 ergs cmE-2 sE-1. The source is probably a long period, low luminosity X-ray pulsar, similar to X Per, or an intermediate polar.

Virion Assembly Of The Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 E3 Ubiquitin Ligase ICP0
Creators: name: Maringer, Kevin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Within the herpes simplex virus type 1 particle, a complex compartment termed the tegument is sandwiched between the nucleocapsid and envelope. Interactions between tegument components and the cytoplasmic tails of viral envelope glycoproteins are thought to play some role in the poorly defined process of tegument assembly. Here, virion incorporation of a major tegument protein, VP22, and the immediate-early transactivator of gene expression ICP0 was studied to improve our understanding of herpesvirus morphogenesis. In infected cells VP22 was found to bridge the viral glycoproteins gE and gM to form an assembly complex that also incorporates ICP0. VP22 is the major determinant for ICP0 packaging, although both gE and gM were shown to be required for optimal recruitment of ICP0 into the complex and virion. The glycoproteins are redundant for VP22, but not ICP0, assembly. A conserved region of VP22, and N-terminal sequences known to facilitate VP22 oligomerisation, contribute to complex formation. ICP0 domains important for VP22-ICP0 association and ICP0 assembly include the functionally essential RING finger motif and ICP0’s C-terminus. The immediate-early protein ICP27, known to be required for ICP0 assembly, was shown for the first time to be recruited into virions, independently of VP22 and ICP0. A mutant that packages enhanced levels of ICP0 exhibited augmented growth kinetics, implying that virion ICP0 performs important functions in infection. No impact of VP22 on ICP0 function could be determined, although a new role for VP22 in modulating gene expression was identified. Nevertheless, VP22 mutation modified ICP0 localisation in infected cells. Interestingly, ICP0 was shown to enhance late stages of virus replication. ICP0-mediated ubiquitination within putative cytoplasmic assembly domains was characterised to further investigate this late function. This work significantly improves our understanding of how glycoprotein-tegument interactions lead to the formation of multicomponent assemblies involved in herpesvirus morphogenesis.
T cell cancer immunotherapy: Characterisation and manipulation of tumour antigen-specific T cell subsets for adoptive immunotherapy in mouse models
Creators: name: White, Matthew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Understanding the behaviour of T cells in context of tumour responses is crucial for designing adoptive immunotherapy strategies. The aim of the study is to characterise tumour-specific T cells, including conventional and regulatory T cells (Tregs), in tumour-bearing mice after adoptive transfer. Male-specific minor histocompatibility antigen HY was used as the tumour-associated antigen, expressed by MB49 murine bladder carcinoma and recognised by TCR transgenic CD4 (Marilyn) and CD8 (Matahari) T cells. Unlike male skin grafts, MB49 tumours express a panel of immune-suppressive molecules including PD-L1, FAS-L, TGF-β, IL-10 and IDO which contribute to the formation of a tolerogenic microenvironment. As a result, HY-specific CD8 T cells reject syngeneic male skin grafts but not MB49 tumours. In response to MB49 tumours, HY-specific Tregs underwent expansion. A fraction of proliferating Tregs also lost FoxP3 and became ex-Tregs, which upregulated IFNγ, and downregulated a panel of Treg-specific genes. In addition, it was observed that preferential ex-Treg differentiation took place in an IL-6-enriched microenvironment, such as in the mesenteric lymph nodes. The antigen-specific CD8 response to MB49 is insufficient for rejection. Retroviral modification of MB49 to express hIL-2 allows for induction of effective antigen-specific CD8 responses, providing a potent whole cell in vivo vaccine strategy for exploring factors mediating immune evasion. Finally, the role of anti-HY TCR transgenic T cells in GvHD is assessed. Lymphopenic male recipients lose weight after adoptive transfer of CD4 but not CD8 T cells. With radiation preconditioning, full-blown GvHD ensues, raising questions about this combination for clinical therapy. This study advances knowledge of antigen-specific T effector and Treg responses to HY in a range of environments, including MB49 tumours, male skin grafts and GvHD. It highlights the importance of understanding not only induction of effector responses, but potentially harmful side-effects of adoptive cell transfer.

description: Needle insertion is common during minimally invasive interventions such as biopsy or brachytherapy. During soft tissue needle insertion, forces acting at the needle tip cause tissue deformation and needle deflection. Accurate needle tip force measurement provides information on needle-tissue interaction and helps detecting and compensating potential misplacement. For this purpose we introduce an image-based needle tip force estimation method using an optical fiber imaging the deformation of an epoxy layer below the needle tip over time. For calibration and force estimation, we introduce a novel deep learning-based fused convolutional GRU-CNN model which effectively exploits the spatio-temporal data structure. The needle is easy to manufacture and our model achieves a mean absolute error of 1.76 +- 1.5 mN with a cross-correlation coefficient of 0.9996, clearly outperforming other methods. We test needles with different materials to demonstrate that the approach can be adapted for different sensitivities and force ranges. Furthermore, we validate our approach in an ex-vivo prostate needle insertion scenario.

High Harmonic Generation Using Multicolour Fields
Creators: name: Hoffmann, David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes the phenomenon of high harmonic generation from atoms irradiated by intense, ultrashort laser pulses. Particular attention is paid to the benefits achieved by using multicolour driving fields. A theoretical description of few-cycle laser pulses is presented, together with their interaction with free-electrons and the role they play in various nonlinear optical processes. A number of numerical models are presented to simulate high harmonic generation from atomic systems. These are used to analyse and explain the temporal structure of the emitted high-frequency dipole radiation. Propagation of the macroscopic harmonic response through a gaseous volume is modelled and the role of phase-matching explained in detail. We consider focussing geometry in optimising the yield of particular harmonics, together with the effects of free-electrons within the interaction region. We discuss means by which multicolour fields may overcome some of the constraints of single-colour high harmonic generation. Using two delayed pulses of the same frequency and parallel polarisation we demonstrate significant cut-off extension without increasing total ionisation throughout the pulse, crucial for maintaining harmonic yield close to the saturation limit. We also explain the significant yield enhancements observed in recent experiments using two parallel colours of incommensurate frequency. Finally, we describe the use of a second, perpendicularly polarised colour in trajectory selection, allowing for a temporal filtering of harmonic emission. Using an ω + 1.5ω frequency ratio also allows for a reduction in the periodicity of emitted attosecond pulse trains, permitting the production of isolated attosecond pulses with longer driving fields. Furthermore, by controlling the relative phase between the two colours, the ellipticity of these attosecond pulses may also be controlled.
Identifying optimal solvents for reactions using quantum mechanics and computer-aided molecular design
Creators: name: Struebing, Heiko
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: A new iterative hybrid methodology, incorporating quantum mechanics (QM) calculations and a computationally inexpensive computer-aided molecular design (CAMD) methodology, QM-CAMD, for identification of optimal solvents for reactions is presented. The methodology has been applied to a Menschutkin reaction, where pyridine and phenacyl bromide are the reactants. The QM calculations take on the form of density functional theory calculations with a given solvent treated using continuum solvation models. The accuracy of the solvent QM calculations is assessed by computing free energies of solvation for different solvation models; the IEF-PCM, SM8 and SMD models are studied and SMD is identified as the best model. Rate constants kQM, determined from QM calculations, are calculated based on conventional transition state theory (Eyring 1935, Evans & Polanyi 1935). By using the SMD solvation model and a statistical mechanics derivation of kQM, rate constant predictions within an order of magnitude are achieved. For a small set of solvents investigated by QM, selected solvent properties are predicted using group contribution (GC) methods. 38 structural groups are considered in this approach. The QM-computed rate constants and solvent properties determined by GC are used to obtain a computationally inexpensive reaction model, based on an empirical linear free energy relationship, which is used to predict reaction rate constants. This predictive reaction model is incorporated into an optimisation-based CAMD methodology. With an objective function of maximising the reaction rate constant subject to molecular and reaction condition constraints, optimal solvent candidates are identified. By considering a design space of over 1000 solvent molecules, solvent candidates containing nitro-groups are predicted to be optimal for the Menschutkin reaction. This outcome supports experimental results for a related reaction available in the literature (Lassau & Jungers 1968). For verification purposes, Ganase et al. (2011) have measured (based on 1H NMR data and kinetic analysis) the rate constant for the reaction of interest in a number of solvents and report a significant increase in the rate constant with nitromethane as the solvent.

description: In the present article we display a new constructive quantum field theory approach to quantum gauge field theory, utilizing the recent progress in the integration theory on the moduli space of generalized connections modulo gauge transformations. That is, we propose a new set of Osterwalder Schrader like axioms for the characteristic functional of a measure on the space of generalized connections modulo gauge transformations rather than for the associated Schwinger distributions. We show non-triviality of our axioms by demonstrating that they are satisfied for two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the plane and the cylinder. As a side result we derive a closed and analytical expression for the vacuum expectation value of an arbitrary product of Wilson loop functionals from which we derive the quantum theory along the Glimm and Jaffe algorithm which agrees exactly with the one as obtained by canonical methods.

description: In this paper we study the interplay of electric and magnetic backgrounds in determining the decoupling limit of coincident D-branes towards a noncommutative Yang-Mills (NCYM) or open string (NCOS) theory. No decoupling limit has been found for NCYM with space-time noncommutativity. It is suggested that there is a new duality, which we call V-duality, which acts on NCOS with both space-space and space-time noncommutativity, resulting from decoupling in Lorentz-boost related backgrounds. We also show that the holographic correspondence, previously suggested by Li and Wu, between NCYM and its supergravity dual can be generalized to NCOS as well.

description: Following an approach by Paczyński & Stanek we compare red clump stars with parallaxes known to better than 10% in the Hipparcos catalog with the red clump stars observed in three fields in M31 using the HST. There are $\sim 600$ and $\sim 6,300$ such stars in the two data sets, respectively. The local red clump luminosity function is well represented by a Gaussian with the peak at $M_{I,m}=-0.23$, and the dispersion $σ_{RC}\approx0.2 $mag. This allows a single step determination of the distance modulus to M31 $μ_{0,M31} = 24.471\pm 0.035 \pm 0.045 $mag (statistical plus systematic error) and the corresponding distance $R_{M31}= 784\pm 13\pm 17 kpc$. The number of red clump stars is large enough that the formal statistical error in the distance is only $\lesssim 2$%. We also correct the treatment of the local interstellar extinction by Paczyński & Stanek and we obtain the Galactocentric distance modulus $μ_{0,GC}=14.57 \pm0.04 \pm 0.04 $mag (statistical plus systematic error), and the corresponding Galactocentric distance $R_0=8.2 \pm0.15 \pm 0.15 kpc$.

Measurement and analysis of local urban CO2 emissions
Creators: name: Sparks, Nathan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: High frequency CO2 and wind speed measurements were used to examine the urban baseline eddy covariance CO2 flux and analyse the CO2 rich plume from a local power station. A reliable relationship between high frequency CO2 maxima and the rate of CO2 emission at the power station was established. This relationship was shown to be highly dependant on wind speed. The ensemble mean plume was found to be approximately Gaussian in horizontal profile with a width dependant on wind speed. The relationship between peak CO2 mixing ratio and averaging time was shown to be a simple power law with a time exponent of approximately 0.5. The large, short pulses in CO2 mixing ratio in the power plant plume were found to have an approximately Lorentzian shape. These pulses generated negative vertical eddy flux measurements so data from the plume sector were necessarily excluded from the flux baseline results. The plume-excluded flux had a similar magnitude and variability to those reported in other urban CO2 flux studies despite this site not being ideal due to the proximity of roughness elements to the measurement point. A linear-eddy model was used to relate the mean concentration plume profile to plume profiles for different percentiles of concentration. It showed that for high concentration percentiles and short dispersion times the plume width can be several times greater than the standard mean concentration plume width.

description: One of the most spectacular discoveries made in superfluid $^3$He confined in a nanostructured material like aerogel or nafen was the observation of the destruction of the long-range orientational order by a weak random anisotropy. The quenched random anisotropy provided by the confining material strands produces several different glass states resolved in NMR experiments in the chiral superfluid $^3$He-A and in the time-reversal-invariant polar phase. The smooth textures of spin and orbital order parameters in these glasses can be characterized in terms of the randomly distributed topological charges, which describe skyrmions, spin vortices and hopfions. In addition, in these skyrmion glasses the momentum-space topological invariants are randomly distributed in space. The Chern mosaic, Weyl glass, torsion glass and other exotic topological sates are examples of close connections between the real-space and momentum-space topologies in superfluid $^3$He phases in aerogel.

description: We show that the one loop amplitudes of open and closed string theory in a constant background two-form tensor field are characterized by an effective string tension larger than the fundamental string tension, and by the appearance of antisymmetric and symmetric noncommutativity parameters. We derive the form of the phase functions normalizing planar and nonplanar tachyon scattering amplitudes in this background, verifying the decoupling of the closed string sector in the regime of infinite momentum transfer. We show that the functional dependence of the phase functions on the antisymmetric star product of external momenta permits interpretation as a finite wavefunction renormalization of vertex operators in the open string sector. Using world-sheet duality we clarify the regimes of finite and zero momentum transfer between boundaries, demonstrating the existence of poles in the nonplanar amplitude when the momentum transfer equals the mass of an on-shell closed string state. Neither noncommutativity parameter has any impact on the renormalizability of open and closed string theory in the Wilsonian sense. We comment on the relationship to noncommutative scalar field theory and the UV-IR correspondence.

description: A taxonomic synopsis and analysis of the potential distribution of the three Cotinis species found in Colombia are presented, based on the revision of 212 specimens deposited in 20 entomological collections. Based on collection information and geo-referencing locality data, the rate of record accumulation over time and observed distribution for each species were examined. Potential distribution maps were generated following biogeographic, bioclimatic, conservation, and expert criteria. Potential distribution models were made according to the amount and degree of record spatial aggregation. Cundinamarca, Tolima, Magdalena, and Sucre are the departments with the greatest number of species occurrence data. The analysis of potential distribution showed that Cotinis columbica is restricted to Andean ecosystems, while Cotinis lebasi is showing potential distribution in humid tropical forest areas in Colombia. On the other hand, the Jackknife test indicated that available data for Cotinis barthelemyi do not provide a potential distribution model better than would be expected from chance. With the increase in comprehensive taxonomic monographs, which compile high quality collection data, this type of analysis could be implemented for other groups of Scarabaeoidea in Colombia to evaluate the temporary and spatial representativeness of sampling across different scales.

description: Multi-sensory environments are widely used with autistic children. However, there are no data on how autistic children choose to spend time in the room and how this relates to their sensory, behavioural and intellectual profiles. We observed the frequency and duration of visits to multi-sensory environment equipment of 41 autistic children during 5 min of free play. At a group level, the bubble tube and touch, sound and light board were both highly popular, with the fibre optics and tactile board receiving less attention. Sensory seeking behaviours were more commonly observed in the multi-sensory environment than sensory-defensive behaviours. We found that observed sensory seeking behaviours, along with parent-reported sensory behaviours and non-verbal intelligence quotient, were associated with specific patterns of multi-sensory environment equipment use, but broader autistic behaviours were not. These data suggest that the multi-sensory environment equipment preferences of autistic children are related to individual differences in sensory behaviour and non-verbal intelligence quotient. This information has the potential to inform the development of best-practice multi-sensory environment guidelines that focus on individual needs.
Direct Measurement of Cosmological Parameters from the Cosmic Deceleration of Extragalactic Objects

description: The redshift of all cosmological sources drifts by a systematic velocity of order a few m/s over a century due to the deceleration of the Universe. The specific functional dependence of the predicted velocity shift on the source redshift can be used to verify its cosmic origin, and to measure directly the values of cosmological parameters, such as the density parameters of matter and vacuum, Omega_M and Omega_Lambda, and the Hubble constant H_0. For example, an existing spectroscopic technique, which was recently employed in planet searches, is capable of uncovering velocity shifts of this magnitude. The cosmic deceleration signal might be marginally detectable through two observations of a hundred quasars set a decade apart, with the HIRES instrument on the Keck 10 meter telescope. The signal would appear as a global redshift change in the Lyman-alpha forest templates imprinted on the quasar spectra by the intergalactic medium. The deceleration amplitude should be isotropic across the sky. Contamination of the cosmic signal by peculiar accelerations or local effects is likely to be negligible.

Sensor Fusion for Location Estimation Technologies
Creators: name: Vasile, Matei-Eugen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Location estimation performance is not always satisfactory and improving it can be expensive. The performance of location estimation technology can be increased by refining the existing location estimation technologies. A better way of increasing performance is to use multiple technologies and combine the available data provided by them in order to obtain better results. Also, maintaining one's location privacy while using location estimation technology is a challenge. How can this problem be solved? In order to make it easier to perform sensor fusion on the available data and to speed up development, a flexible framework centered around a component-based architecture was designed. In order to test the performance of location estimation using the proposed sensor fusion framework, the framework and all the necessary components were implemented and tested. In order to solve the location estimation privacy issues, a comprehensive design that considers all aspects of the problem, from the physical aspects of using radio transmissions to communicating and using location data, is proposed. The experimental results of testing the location estimation sensor fusion framework show that by using sensor fusion, the availability of location estimation is always increased and the accuracy is always increased on average. The experimental results also allow the profiling of the sensor fusion framework's time and energy consumption. In the case of time consumption, there is a 0.32% - 17.06% - 5.05% - 77.58% split between results overhead, engine overhead, component communication time and component execution time on an average. The more measurements are gathered by the data gathering components, the more the component execution time increases relative to all the other execution times because component execution time is the only one that increases while the others remain constant.
Removing point sources from CMB maps

description: For high-precision cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, contamination from extragalactic point sources is a major concern. It is therefore useful to be able to detect and discard point source contaminated pixels using the map itself. We show that the sensitivity with which this can be done can often be greatly improved (by factors between 2.5 and 18 for the upcoming Planck mission) by a customized hi-pass filtering that suppresses fluctuations due to CMB and diffuse galactic foregrounds. This means that point source contamination will not severely degrade the cleanest Planck channels unless current source count estimates are off by more than an order of magnitude. A catalog of around 40,000 far infra-red sources at 857 GHz may be a useful by-product of Planck.

Design Synthesis and Optimisation of VTOL Personal Air Vehicles
Creators: name: Katamish, Omar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Personal Air Vehicles (PAVs) are envisaged to be the next logical step in mobility to alleviate modern transport problems. PAVs could combine the freedom of point-to-point personal mobility with the higher speeds of air travel. Hence the principal aim of this research programme was to develop a preliminary design and optimisation methodology for an innovative vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) PAV with a ducted fan propulsion system driven by a single turboshaft engine. A feasibility study conducted at the start of the programme concluded that a ducted fan powered VTOL PAV provides a flexible, quiet and safe point-to-point mobility platform free from runway constraints and any problems associated with jet efflux or exposed rotating components. To satisfy VTOL and forward flight requirements a design and optimisation methodology for ducted fans and contra-rotating lift fans was developed from a series CFD tests. With a single engine driving all the fans, a methodology was developed for the design of a system of interconnecting gears, gearboxes and shafts. To accommodate the propulsion system and all the other internal components of the aircraft, an innovative tri-surface configuration was generated by adopting a systems packaging approach. Weight minimisation through the use of composites and appropriate prediction methods was crucial to reducing the power requirements and fuel consumption. The aerodynamic surface interaction was explored and optimised using a vortex-lattice method. The same approach was also used to estimate the stability derivatives of the aircraft. The overall performance was analysed utilising the data produced from the above methodologies and that also included an analysis of the transition from hover to forward flight. All the above methodologies were integrated to form an automated PAV design synthesis which in combination with a MATLAB global optimiser is capable of producing variants of the baseline aircraft that are capable of meeting different mission and passenger capacity requirements while maximising a specified merit function.
