description: The theory of first order Fermi acceleration at shocks assumes that particles diffuse due to scattering off slow-moving magnetic irregularities. However, cosmic rays are closely tied to magnetic field lines, and the transport process, particularly across the direction of the field, is likely to be more complicated. To describe cross field transport we employ recent extensions of the Rechester-Rosenbluth theory in localised stochastic regions of magnetic field. During acceleration at a shock and when the motion along the field is diffusive, there is a transition at a critical energy from \lq\lq sub-diffusive\rq\rq\ motion, where the mean square displacement of a particle increases with time as $t^{1/2}$, to compound diffusion, a combined process involving diffusion along a magnetic field which is itself wandering. Requiring this critical energy to be less than the system cut-off in a SNR of radius $R$ places an upper limit on the coherence length, $λ$, of the magnetic field for which diffusive shock acceleration can occur at quasi-perpendicular shocks when field line wandering dominates the effective transport of particles: $λ

description: In this paper, we investigate the Higgs Triplet Model with hypercharge $Y_Δ=0$ (HTM0), an extension of the Standard model, caracterised by a more involved scalar spectrum consisting of two CP even Higgs $h^0, H^0$ and two charged Higgs bosons $H^\pm$. We first show that the parameter space of HTM0, usually delimited by combined constraints originating from unitarity and BFB as well as experimental limits from LEP and LHC, is severely reduced when the modified Veltman conditions at one loop are also imposed. Then, we perform an rigorous analysis of Higgs decays either when $h^0$ is the SM-like or when the heaviest neutral Higgs $H^0$ is identified to the observed $125$ GeV Higgs boson at LHC. In these scenarios, we perform an extensive parameter scan, in the lower part of the scalar mass spectrum, with a particular focus on the Higgs to Higgs decay modes $H^0 \to h^0h^0, H^\pm\,H^\mp$ leading predominantly to invisible Higgs decays. Finally, we also study the scenario where $h^0, H^0$ are mass degenerate. We thus find that consistency with LHC signal strengths favours a light charged Higgs with a mass about $176\sim178$ GeV. Our analysis shows that the diphoton Higgs decay mode and $H \to Z γ$ are not always positively correlated as claimed in a previous study. Anti-correlation is rather seen in the scenario where $h$ is SM like, while correlation is sensitive to the sign of the potential parameter $λ$ when $H$ is identified to $125$ GeV Higgs.

CRISES AND TRANSITIONS: NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AND POLITICAL ECONOMIC CHANGE IN THE ANDEAN REGION

description: Two profound and related changes are reworking the rural economy of the Andean region today. These must necessarily be central considerations in the search for sustainable forms of development in this area. The first is institutional change, comprising reform of the state, increased assertiveness of civil society, and ever increasing space being given to, and expected of the private sector. The second is economic liberalisation, comprising the progressive removal of subsidies, tariffs, quotas and trade barriers. The aim is to create a more favourable environment for investment and private sector activity. These two types of change are closely linked. Together they represent an attempt to increase the role of the marketplace in mediating patterns of development, whilst concurrently reducing the relative importance of the role of government in this mediation process. Within this context, non-governmental organisations (NG05) are being asked to assume some of the roles traditionally performed by the state and even commercial organisations — all in the name of more sustainable, participatory, and efficient development. Yet this new context, and the deeper change in development thinking of which it is indicative, present important — indeed penetrating — challenges to Latin American NGOs working in rural development. Furthermore, these challenges are presented at a time when NGOs are faced by a series of institutional problems, characterised in this paper as crises of legitimacy, identity and sustainability. Recent discussions have begun to raise some of these issues at a general level (Edwards and Hulme, 1995; Hulme and Edwards, 1996). This paper takes the discussion to a more specific level, focusing on the Andes and Chile in particular. The thesis is that changes in the political economy of Andean America have demanded that NGOs rethink their relationships with the state and market. In turn, this rethinking has triggered general uncertainty about the role of NGOs in development. This uncertainty is part of a larger crisis in alternative development thinking (both normative and analytical). It relates, in particular, to questions about the legitimate (and most effective) role of civil society, the state and the market in development. The paper argues that — in the context of a funding crisis— this uncertainty is fostering a set of institutional changes among NGOs. Though painful, these changes offer the possibility of re-rooting civil society institutions into the societies of the countries in which they operate such that they are better adapted to the conditions of their own political economies, and less distorted by the incentives and agendas fostered byforeign aid. This has implications for how we think of the role of civil society in development and, more practically, for how donors might best support the process of institutional adjustment.

description: One of the best ways of spotting previously undetected systematic errors in CMB experiments is to compare two independent observations of the same region. We derive a set of tools for comparing and combining CMB data sets, applicable also in the common case where the two have different resolution or beam shape and therefore do not measure the same signal. We present a consistency test that is better than a chi-squared test at detecting systematic errors. We show how two maps of different angular resolution can be combined without smoothing the higher resolution down to the lower one, and generalize this to arbitrary beam configurations. We also show how lossless foreground removal can be performed even for foreground models involving scale dependence, latitude dependence and spectral index variations in combination.

description: Gravitational waves emitted by coalescing compact objects carry information about the spin of the individual bodies. However, with present detectors only the mass-weighted combination of the components of the spin along the orbital angular momentum can be measured accurately. This quantity, the effective spin $χ_{\mathrm{eff}}$, is conserved up to at least the second post-Newtonian order. The measured distribution of $χ_{\mathrm{eff}}$ values from a population of detected binaries, and in particular whether this distribution is symmetric about zero, encodes valuable information about the underlying compact-binary formation channels. In this paper we focus on two important complications of using the effective spin to study astrophysical population properties: (i) an astrophysical distribution for $χ_{\mathrm{eff}}$ values which is symmetric does not necessarily lead to a symmetric distribution for the detected effective spin values, leading to a \emph{selection bias}; and (ii) the posterior distribution of $χ_{\mathrm{eff}}$ for individual events is \emph{asymmetric} and it cannot usually be treated as a Gaussian. We find that the posterior distributions for $χ_{\mathrm{eff}}$ systematically show fatter tails toward larger positive values, unless the total mass is large or the mass ratio $m_2/m_1$ is smaller than $\sim 1/2$. Finally we show that uncertainties in the measurement of $χ_{\mathrm{eff}}$ are systematically larger when the true value is negative than when it is positive. All these factors can bias astrophysical inference about the population when we have more than $\sim 100$ events and should be taken into account when using gravitational-wave measurements to characterize astrophysical populations.

description: Quantum computers will require encoding of quantum information to protect them from noise. Fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures illustrate how this might be done but have not yet shown a conclusive practical advantage. Here we demonstrate that a small but useful error detecting code improves the fidelity of the fault-tolerant gates implemented in the code space as compared to the fidelity of physically equivalent gates implemented on physical qubits. By running a randomized benchmarking protocol in the logical code space of the [4,2,2] code, we observe an order of magnitude improvement in the infidelity of the gates, with the two-qubit infidelity dropping from 5.8(2)% to 0.60(3)%. Our results are consistent with fault-tolerance theory and conclusively demonstrate the benefit of carrying out computation in a code space that can detect errors. Although the fault-tolerant gates offer an impressive improvement in fidelity, the computation as a whole is not below the fault-tolerance threshold because of noise associated with state preparation and measurement on this device.

description: We perform 2D and 3D numerical simulations of an accretion disc in a close binary system using the Simplified Flux vector Splitting (SFS) finite volume method. In our calculations, gas is assumed to be the ideal one, and we calculate the cases with gamma=1.01, 1.05, 1.1 and 1.2. The mass ratio of the mass-losing star to the mass-accreting star is one. Our results show that spiral shocks are formed on the accretion disc in all cases. In 2D calculations we find that the smaller gamma is, the more tightly the spiral winds. We observe this trend in 3D calculations as well in somewhat weaker sense. Recently, Steeghs, Harlaftis & Horne (1997) found the first convincing evidence for spiral structure in the accretion disc of the eclipsing dwarf nova binary IP Pegasi using the technique known as Doppler tomography. We may claim that spiral structure which we have discovered in numerical simulations before are now found observationally.

description: We make an analytical estimate of the maximum 21 cm absorption signal from the cosmic dawn, taking into account the inhomogeneity of gas distribution in the intergalactic medium (IGM) due to non-linear structure formation. The gas located near halos is over-dense but adiabatically heated, while the gas far from halos is under-dense and hence cooler. The cumulative effect of adiabatic heating and cooling from this gas inhomogeneity results in a reduction in the maximum global 21 cm absorption depth by about 40% as compared with homogeneous IGM model, assuming saturated coupling between the spin temperature of neutral hydrogen (HI) and the adiabatic gas kinetic temperature.

description: Generating entanglement in a distributed scenario is a fundamental task for implementing the quantum network of the future. We here report a protocol that uses only linear optics for generating GHZ states with high fidelities in a nearby node configuration. Moreover, we analytically show that the scheme provides the highest success probability, and, then, the highest generation rate for sequential protocols. We furthermore show how to retrieve the same results using a numerical approach. Both the analytical proof and the numerical optimization represent a novelty in the field of entanglement generation in quantum networks and are tools for further investigation. Finally, we give some estimates for the generation rate in a real scenario.

description: Main sequence turnoff magnitudes from the recent set of Yale isochrones (Chaboyer \ea 1995) have been combined with a variety of relations for the absolute magnitude of RR Lyr stars (\mvrr) to calibrate age as a function of the difference in magnitude between the main sequence turn-off and the horizontal branch (\dv). A best estimate for the calibration of \mvrr is derived from a survey of the current literature: $\mvrr = 0.20 \feh + 0.98$. This estimate, together with other calibrations (with slopes ranging from 0.15 to 0.30) has been used to derive \dv ages for 43 Galactic globular clusters. Independent of the choice of \mvrr, there is no strong evidence for an age-Galacto\-centric distance relationship among the 43 globular clusters. However, an age-metallicity relation exists, with the metal-poor clusters being the oldest. A study of the age distribution reveals that an age range of 5 Gyr exists among the bulk of the globular clusters. In addition, about 10\% of the sample are substantially younger, and including them in the analysis increases the age range to 9 Gyr. Once again, these statements are independent of the \mvrr ~relation. Evidence for age being the second parameter governing horizontal branch morphology is found by comparing the average \dv ~age of the second parameter clusters to the normal clusters. The second parameter clusters are found to be on average 2 - 3 Gyr younger than the other clusters, which is consistent with age being the second parameter. These results suggest that globular clusters were formed over an extended period of time, with progressively more metal-rich globular clusters ($\feh \ga -1.7$) being formed at later times.

description: We describe the design and implementation of a stable high-power 1064 nm laser system to generate optical lattices for experiments with ultracold quantum gases. The system is based on a low-noise laser amplified by an array of four heavily modified, high-power fiber amplifiers. The beam intensity is stabilized and controlled with a nonlinear feedback loop. Using real-time monitoring of the resulting optical lattice, we find the stability of the lattice site positions to be well below the lattice spacing over the course of hours. The position of the harmonic trap produced by the Gaussian envelope of the lattice beams is stable to about one lattice spacing and the long-term (six-month) relative RMS stability of the lattice spacing itself is 0.5%.

An integrated experimental and modelling approach for the study of apoptosis in GS-NS0 cell cultures
Creators: name: Usaku, Chonlatep
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Mammalian cell cultures are nowadays adopted as industrial platforms for monoclonal antibody (mAb) manufacture. Although improving product quality and expression stability becomes predominant these days, enhancement in mAb production still remains one of the greatest challenges facing the industrial biotechnology community. One of reasons behind this is the synthesis of mAb is restricted by the decline phase occurring in the mammalian cell cultures as a result of cell death. Prolongation of culture viability via suppression of cell death appears as a potential strategy to improve mAb production and productivity. Understanding of cell death in the mammalian cell cultures is, therefore, crucial to the improvement of the strategy toward mAb production and productivity enhancement. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is found to be the major cause of culture viability loss in the mammalian cell cultures. It is a highly-organised physiological process of cell death that can be triggered through activation of the genetic programme underlying a signal cascade that governs particular morphological and physiological changes in response to extracellular and intracellular stimuli. In order to devise strategies to optimise degrees of apoptosis in the mammalian cell cultures, understanding of apoptosis is inevitable. However, to establish the understanding of apoptosis is an extremely challenging task given the complexity arising from the dynamic nature of apoptosis and its association with internal and external milieu, including other cellular processes and environmental conditions. This thesis presents a combined experimental and modelling approach for a study of apoptosis in GS-NS0 cell cultures, aiming to identify relevant metabolic stresses, evaluate their impact on apoptosis induction, and investigate kinetics of apoptosis in response to the identified stresses. The novelty of this study is a systemic view of apoptosis where apoptosis is studied in accordance with dynamic changes in culturing conditions, as well as cell proliferation and metabolic activities. Batch culture experiments of GS-NS0 cell line demonstrate interplay between apoptosis and other cellular processes, including cell cycle progression and metabolism. In addition, the batch cultures allow evaluating impact of metabolic stresses and culture conditions on induction of apoptosis. Fed-batch culture experiments help validate links between apoptosis and metabolic stresses as suggested based on the batch cultures, and also shed some light on feeding strategies for a delay in apoptosis induction. The first-principles mathematical model for apoptosis in the GS-NS0 cell cultures demonstrates a good reproduction of the experimental data.

description: We observed two-photon emission signals from the first vibrationally excited state of parahydrogen gas excited coherently by counter-propagating laser pulses. A single narrow-linewidth laser source was used to excite the parahydrogen molecules and induce the two-photon emission process. We measured how the signal energy depended on the detuning, target gas pressure, and input pulse energies. These results are qualitatively consistent with those obtained by numerical simulations based on the Maxwell-Bloch equations with one spatial dimension and one temporal dimension. This study of two-photon emission with counter-propagating injection is an important step toward neutrino mass spectroscopy.

Vacuum-dressed cavity magnetotransport of a 2D electron gas

description: We present a theory predicting how the linear magnetotransport of a two-dimensional electron gas is modified by a passive electromagnetic cavity resonator where no real photons are injected nor created. For a cavity photon mode with in-plane linear polarization, the dc bulk magnetoresistivity of the 2D electron gas is anisotropic. In the regime of high filling factors of the Landau levels, the envelope of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations is profoundly modified and the resistivity can be increased or reduced depending on the system parameters. In the limit of low magnetic fields, the resistivity along the cavity-mode polarization direction is enhanced in the ultrastrong light-matter coupling regime. Our work shows the crucial role of virtual polariton excitations in controlling the dc charge transport properties of cavity-embedded systems.

description: The open data movement is hyped as a sweeping strategy to democratize science, promote diverse data reuse, facilitate reproducibility, accelerate innovation, and much more. However, it is rare that the potential perils of open data are studied and discussed at the same level as these promises. As we invest more into open data, we need to study the full spectrum of what open data facilitates in practice, which can then inform future policy and design decisions. This paper does this by describing the data practices of one contrarian community, anthropogenic climate change (ACC) skeptics, specifically how they process, analyze, preserve, and share data through an investigative digital ethnography. Skeptics often reuse data in ways similar to conventional data reusers, although to unorthodox ends, with differing levels of trust and expertise. ACC skeptics’ data practices call into question the assumption that open data is a universal good. These findings have implications for data repositories and how they might curate data and design their database with this type of reuse in mind.

The Case Against Bimodal Star Formation in Elliptical Galaxies
Creators: name: Gibson, Brad K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the present-day photometric and chemical properties of elliptical galaxies, adopting the bimodal star formation scenario of Elbaz, Arnaud & Vangioni-Flam (1995). These models utilise an initial mass function (IMF) biased heavily toward massive stars during the early phases of galactic evolution, leading to early Type II supernovae-driven galactic winds. A subsequent lengthy, milder, star formation phase with a normal IMF ensues, responsible supposedly for the stellar population observed today. Based upon chemical evolution arguments alone, this scenario has been invoked to explain the observed metal mass, and their abundance ratios, in the intracluster medium of galaxy clusters. Building upon the recent compilations of metallicity-dependent isochrones for simple stellar populations, we have constructed a coupled photometric and chemical evolution package for composite stellar populations in order to quantify the effects of such a model upon the photo-chemical properties of the resultant elliptical galaxies. We demonstrate that these predicted properties are incompatible with those observed at the current epoch.

description: In this paper, the long-term historical optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (JHK) data are presented with some new observations in the optical (February 1994-January 1995) and near-infrared (November 1995) bands included for BL Lac object OJ287. The new optical data in V-band are in agreement with the results reported by other authors (Sillanpaa et al. 1996a; Arimoto et al. 1997), a close correlation between the color index of B-V and the magnitude V has been obtained from our new observations; The new infrared observations presented here indicate that the source was at a high level in the infrared band during the observation period; From the available literature, we have got that the largest variations for UBVRIJHK bands are respectively: 4.72mag, 5.93mag, 5.18mag, 4.45mag, 4.07mag, 3.87mag, 3.78mag, and 3.54mag. A strong correlation is found between the optical and near-infrared bands when the DCF method is used, which suggests that these two bands have the same emission mechanism.

Interaction between haematopoietic and mesenchymal stroma
Creators: name: Trento, Cristina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Parenchyma and stroma represent the functional and structural units in every organ of the body respectively. Stromal cells of mesenchymal origin (MSC) have traditionally been associated with a structural support activity within the tissue, but it is only recently that more complex functions have been unveiled. Subsets of MSC have been shown to play a fundamental role in self-renewal and differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Recent findings show that MSC and bone marrow (BM) macrophages represent fundamental components in the niche, modulating egress and mobilization of HSC during normal or emergency myelopoiesis. Therefore, I have decided to investigate whether and how MSC contribute to the formation and function of myeloid cells. In an in vitro co-culture model I have observed that MSC have the ability to induce the expansion and differentiation of different subsets of mature myeloid cells from haematopoietic BM cells. Based on the differential expression of CD11b and Gr-1, three cell subsets recapitulating myeloid differentiation could be identified. MSC induced differentiation targets common myeloid progenitors (CMP) or granulocyte/macrophage progenitors (GMP) but not the primitive HSC. CD11b+ sorted cells obtained at the end of the co-culture exhibited a functional profile characterised by high levels of both anti- and pro-inflammatory markers, such as nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) and arginase-1 (ARG-1). In order to identify the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon I have chosen to investigate a number of molecules involved in the regulation of haematopoietic differentiation by the microenvironment. I have demonstrated that whilst NOS2 and agrin, an ECM protein, play a key role in the differentiation of CD11b+ Gr-1- F4/80+ cells, complement appears to be primarily involved in the generation of CD11b+ Gr-1int-low F4/80- cells. My studies have shown that MSC differentiating activity is not confined to the BM but can also be detected in MSC from other tissues like skin and kidney. Overall these results suggest a key role for stromal cells as regulators of myeloid differentiation. Further investigation is under way to assess the importance of such a function in vivo.
Description of the luminosity evolution for the CERN LHC including dynamic aperture effects. Part I: the model
Creators: name: Giovannozzi, Massimo

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Accelerator Physics (physics.acc-ph)

description: In recent years, modelling the evolution of beam losses in circular proton machines starting from the evolution of the dynamic aperture has been the focus of intense research. Results from single-particle, non-linear beam dynamics have been used to build simple models that proved to be in good agreement with beam measurements. These results have been generalised, thus opening the possibility to describe also the luminosity evolution in a circular hadron collider. In this paper, the focus is on the derivation of scaling laws for luminosity, which include both burn off and additional pseudo-diffusive effects. It is worthwhile stressing that time-dependence of some beam parameters can be taken into account in the proposed framework. The proposed models are applied to the analysis of a subset of the data collected during the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Run~1 in a companion paper (Part II).
