description: A lot of research has been devoted to identity documents analysis and recognition on mobile devices. However, no publicly available datasets designed for this particular problem currently exist. There are a few datasets which are useful for associated subtasks but in order to facilitate a more comprehensive scientific and technical approach to identity document recognition more specialized datasets are required. In this paper we present a Mobile Identity Document Video dataset (MIDV-500) consisting of 500 video clips for 50 different identity document types with ground truth which allows to perform research in a wide scope of document analysis problems. The paper presents characteristics of the dataset and evaluation results for existing methods of face detection, text line recognition, and document fields data extraction. Since an important feature of identity documents is their sensitiveness as they contain personal data, all source document images used in MIDV-500 are either in public domain or distributed under public copyright licenses. The main goal of this paper is to present a dataset. However, in addition and as a baseline, we present evaluation results for existing methods for face detection, text line recognition, and document data extraction, using the presented dataset. (The dataset is available for download at ftp://smartengines.com/midv-500/.)

Modelling multiple-material flows on adaptive unstructured meshes.
Creators: name: Wilson, Cian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The ability to distinguish between regions with different material properties is essential when numerically modelling many physical systems. Using a dual control volume mesh that avoids the problem of corner coupling, the HyperC face value scheme is extended to multiple dimensions and applied as a device for material advection on unstructured simplex meshes. The new scheme performs well at maintaining sharp interfaces between materials and is shown to produce small advection errors, comparable to those of standard material advection methods on structured meshes. To further minimise numerical diffusion of material interfaces a total variation bounded flux limiter, UltraC, is defined using a normalised variable diagram. Combining the material tracking scheme with dynamically adapting meshes, the use of a minimally dissipative bounded projection algorithm for interpolating fields from the old mesh to the new, optimised mesh is demonstrated that conserves the mass of each material. More generally, material conservation during the advection process is ensured through the coupling of the material tracking scheme to the momentum and mass equations. A new element pair for the discretisation of velocity and pressure is proposed that maintains the stability of the system while conserving the mass of materials. When modelling multiple materials the use of independent advection algorithms for each material can lead to the problem of non-physical material overlap. A novel coupled flux limiter is developed to overcome this problem. This automatically generalises to arbitrary numbers of materials. Using the fully coupled (and rigorously verified) multi-material model, several geophysically relevant simulations are presented examining the generation of waves by landslides. The model is validated by demonstrating close agreement between model predictions and experimental results of wave generation, propagation and run-up. The simulations also showcase the powerful capabilities of an unstructured, adaptive multi-material model in real world scenarios.

description: The life-times due to Auger-electron emission for a hole on a deep electronic shell of neutral and charged sodium clusters are studied for different sizes. We consider spherical clusters and calculate the Auger-transition probabilities using the energy levels and wave functions calculated in the Local-Density-Approximation (LDA). We obtain that Auger emission processes are energetically not allowed for neutral and positively charged sodium clusters. In general, the Auger probabilities in small Na$_N^-$ clusters are remarkably different from the atomic ones and exhibit a rich size dependence. The Auger decay times of most of the cluster sizes studied are orders of magnitude larger than in atoms and might be comparable with typical fragmentation times.

Hyperkahler Singularities in Superstrings Compactification and 2d N=4 Conformal Field Theory

description: We study the singularities of the Higgs branch of supersymmetric U(1)^r gauge theories with eight supercharges. We derive new solutions for the moduli space of vacua preserving manifestly the eight supercharges by using a geometric realization of the SU(2)_R symmetry and a separation procedure of the gauge and SU(2)_R charges, which allow us to put the hypermultiplet vacua in a form depending on a parameter $γ$. For $γ=1$, we obtain new models which flow in the infrared to 2d N=(4,4) conformal models and we show that the classical moduli spaces are given by intersecting cotangent weighted complex projective spaces containing the small instanton singularity, discussed in [17], as a leading special case. We also make comments regarding the d$2d N=4 conformal Liouville description of the Higgs branch throat by following the analysis of [18]. Other features are also discussed.

description: In this interview, Frieda discusses her life in New York City from adolescence to adulthood, with a focus on her drug use. She compares the different perceptions of opium and heroin, the different cultures surrounding the two drugs, and her experience of taking each drug. She mentions the "wet towel trick" which was used by her and many opium users to prevent smoke from escaping the room when smoking in hotels. She describes the frequency of her heroin use, her method of intake, and her vigilance in using her own, sterilized needles. Frieda also discusses the abundance of heroin in New York in the 1930s, and the ease of obtaining it. She comments on her experience taking Dilaudid and visiting a methadone clinic twice weekly. Additionally, she discusses her personal life, including her two marriages and her son, as well as how she was able to hide her addiction from nearly everyone in her life. Her doctor and psychologist are present in the interview

description: This study aims to examine the effect of EMDR therapy application on social anxiety levels. This research was conducted within the framework of a single-group quasi-experimental design, employing a pre-test post-test model. Fifteen adult individuals participated in the study. Each participant received 8 sessions of EMDR therapy, lasting for 90 minutes each. Following the EMDR therapy sessions, participants were re-administered the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. Data analysis was conducted using Mann Whitney-u and Kruskal Wallis-H tests, as well as independent samples t-test methods. The results indicated a significant decrease in social anxiety levels following EMDR therapy. There was no significant difference in social anxiety scores between genders. As a result of the research, it was determined that EMDR therapy has positive effects on social anxiety. Since studies on social anxiety and EMDR therapy are limited, it is thought that it will contribute to being a resource for both researchers and clinicians in the field.

Critical points in two-dimensional stationary homogeneous isotropic turbulence
Creators: name: Faber, Tristan Friedrich
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Basic properties of critical points in two dimensions are reviewed and related to the velocity and acceleration field of two-dimensional turbulence. A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of two-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence with an inverse energy cascade and a k−5/3 power law is used to study critical points of these fields. The velocity stagnation point based pair separation model of Goto and Vassilicos (S Goto and J C Vassilicos, 2004, New J.Phys., 6, p.65) is revisited and placed on a sound mathematical foundation. The DNS is used to study the time-asymmetry observed between forward and backward separation. A new method has been employed to obtain values for the Richardson constants and the ratio of them for the backwards and forwards case, which is gb/gf = (0.92±0.03) and hence, exhibits a qualitatively different behaviour from pair separation in three-dimensional turbulence, where gb > gf (J Berg et al. , 2006, Phys.Rev.E, 74(1), p.016304). An explanation for this behaviour based on the timeasymmetry related to the inverse versus forward energy cascade is suggested. Zero Acceleration Points (ZAPs) and flow structures around them are studied using the same DNS. A well-defined classification of ZAPs in terms of the acceleration gradient tensor’s (∇a) invariants is presented. About half of all ZAPs are Anti-ZAPs (with det[∇a] < 0) and the number of vortical and straining ZAPs (with det[∇a] > 0) is about the same. Vortical and straining ZAPs are swept by the local fluid velocity to a good statistical approximation whereas Anti-ZAPs are not. The average life-time of ZAPs seems to scale with the time-scale of the smallest eddies in the turbulence, though ZAPs (in particular vortical ones) are able to survive up to a few integral time scales. The new ZAP classification can also be applied to extended flow regions and a discussion of the length-scales and sizes characterising these regions and the distances between ZAPs is given.

Design Exploration of an FPGA-Based Multivariate Gaussian Random Number Generator
Creators: name: Saiprasert, Chalermpol
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Monte Carlo simulation is one of the most widely used techniques for computationally intensive simulations in a variety of applications including mathematical analysis and modeling and statistical physics. A multivariate Gaussian random number generator (MVGRNG) is one of the main building blocks of such a system. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are gaining increased popularity as an alternative means to the traditional general purpose processors targeting the acceleration of the computationally expensive random number generator block due to their fine grain parallelism and reconfigurability properties and lower power consumption. As well as the ability to achieve hardware designs with high throughput it is also desirable to produce designs with the flexibility to control the resource usage in order to meet given resource constraints. This work proposes a novel approach for mapping a MVGRNG onto an FPGA by optimizing the computational path in terms of hardware resource usage subject to an acceptable error in the approximation of the distribution of interest. An analysis on the impact of the error due to truncation/rounding operation along the computational path is performed and an analytical expression of the error inserted into the system is presented. Extra dimensionality is added to the feature of the proposed algorithm by introducing a novel methodology to map many multivariate Gaussian random number generators onto a single FPGA. The effective resource sharing techniques introduced in this thesis allows further reduction in hardware resource usage. The use of MVGNRG can be found in a wide range of application, especially in financial applications which involve many correlated assets. In this work it is demonstrated that the choice of the objective function employed for the hardware optimization of the MVRNG core has a considerable impact on the final performance of the application of interest. Two of the most important financial applications, Value-at-Risk estimation and option pricing are considered in this work.
Transient phases in the Vicsek model of flocking

description: The Vicsek model of flocking is studied by computer simulation. We confined our studies here to the morphologies and the lifetimes of transient phases. In our simulation, we have identified three distinct transient phases, namely, vortex phase, colliding phase and multi-domain phase. The mapping of Vicsek model to XY model in the $v \to 0$ limit prompted us to explore the possibility of finding any vortex kind of phases in the Vicsek model. We have obtained rotating vortex phase and measured the lifetime of this vortex phase. We have also measured the lifetimes of other two transient phases, i.e., colliding phase and multi-domain phase. We have measured the integrated lifetime ($τ_t$) of all these transient phases and studied this as function of density ($ρ$) and noise ($η$). In the low noise regime, we proposed here a scaling law $τ_t N^{-a} = F(ρN^{-b})$ where $F(x)$ is a scaling function like $F(x) \sim x^{-s}$. By the method of data collapse, we have estimated the exponents as $a=-0.110\pm0.010$, $b=0.950\pm0.010$ and $s=1.027\pm0.008$. The integrated lifetime $τ$ (defined in the text differently) was observed to decrease as the noise approaches the critical noise from below. This behaviour is quite unusual and contrary to the critical slowing down observed in the case of equilibrium phase transitions. We have provided a possible explanation from the time evolution of the distribution of the directions of velocities.

description: We describe a new and model-independent Lévy imaging method of quality fits to the published datasets and reconstruct the amplitude of high-energy $pp$ and $p\bar p$ elastic scattering processes. This method allows us to determine the excitation function of the shadow profile $P(b)$, the elastic slope $B(t)$ and the nuclear phase $ϕ(t)$ functions of $pp$ and $p\bar p$ collisions directly from the data. Surprisingly, notable qualitative differences in $B(t)$ for $pp$ and for $p\bar p$ collisions point towards an Odderon effect. As a by-product, we clearly identify the proton substructure with two different sizes at the ISR and LHC energies, that has striking similarity to a dressed quark (at the ISR) and a dressed diquark (at the LHC). We present model-independent results for the corresponding sizes and cross-sections for such a substructure for the existing data at different energies.

description: We study exhaustively the solution-generating transformations (dualities) that occur in the context of the low-energy effective action of superstring theory. We first consider target-space duality (``T duality'') transformations in absence of vector fields. We find that for one isometry the full duality group is (SO^{\uparrow}(1,1))^{3} x D_{4}, the discrete part (D_{4}) being non-Abelian. We, then, include non-Abelian Yang--Mills fields and find the corresponding generalization of the T duality transformations. We study the α^{\prime} corrections to these transformations and show that the T duality rules considerably simplify if the gauge group is embedded in the holonomy group. Next, in the case in which there are Abelian vector fields, we consider the duality group that includes the transformation introduced by Sen that rotates among themselves components of the metric, axion and vector field. Finally we list the duality symmetries of the Type II theories with one isometry.

description: A high-intensity hyperon beam was constructed at CERN to deliver Sigma- to experiment WA89 at the Omega facility and operated from 1989 to 1994. The setup allowed rapid changeover between hyperon and conventional hadron beam configurations. The beam provided a Sigma-flux of 1.4 x 10^5 per burst at mean momenta between 330 and 345 Gev/c, produced by about 3 x 10^10 protons of 450 GeV/c . At the experiment target the beam had a Sigma-/pi- ratio close to 0.4 and a size of 1.6 x 3.7 cm^2. The beam particle trajectories and their momenta were measured with a scintillating fibre hodoscope in the beam channel and a silicon microstrip detector at the exit of the channel. A fast transition radiation detector was used to identify the pion component of the beam.

description: We show that the relative entropy between the reduced density matrix of the vacuum state in some region $A$ and that of an excited state created by a unitary operator localized at a small distance $\ell$ of a boundary point $p$ is insensitive to the global shape of $A$, up to a small correction. This correction tends to zero as $\ell/R$ tends to zero, where $R$ is a measure of the curvature of $\partial A$ at $p$, but at a rate necessarily slower than $\sim \sqrt{\ell/R}$ (in any dimension). Our arguments are mathematically rigorous and only use model-independent, basic assumptions about quantum field theory such as locality and Poincare invariance.

description: On December 22, 1976, an archaeological clearance investigation was conducted at five locations in the Patterson Well Fields. During the field investigations four archaeological sites were observed, recorded, and specific in field recommendations given. All proposed well locations were located or relocated away from cultural deposits and can therefore be recommended for archaeological clearance. A brief description of the archaeological investigations, site descriptions, as well as specific clearance recommendations are provided.
Smooth Gauge Strings and D>=2 Lattice Yang-Mills Theories

description: Employing the nonabelian duality transformation, I derive the Gauge String form of certain D>=3 lattice Yang-Mills (YM_{D}) theories in the strong coupling (SC) phase. With the judicious choice of the actions, in D>=3 our construction generalizes the Gross-Taylor stringy reformulation of the continuous YM_{2} on a 2d manifold. Using the Eguchi-Kawai model as an example, we develope the algorithm to determine the weights w[\tilde{M}] for connected YM-flux worldsheets \tilde{M} immersed into the 2d skeleton of a D>=3 base-lattice. Owing to the invariance of w[\tilde{M}] under a continuous group of area-preserving worldsheet homeomorphism, the set of the weights {w[\tilde{M}]} can be used to define the theory of the smooth YM-fluxes which unambiguously refers to a particular continuous YM_{D} system. I argue that the latter YM_{D} models (with a finite ultraviolet cut-off) for sufficiently large bare coupling constant(s) are reproduced, to all orders in 1/N, by the smooth Gauge String thus associated. The asserted YM_{D}/String duality allows to make a concrete prediction for the 'bare' string tension σ_{0} which implies that (in the large N SC regime) the continuous YM_{D} systems exhibit confinement for $D\geq{2}$. The resulting pattern is qualitatively consistent (in the extreme D=4 SC limit) with the Witten's proposal motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Bayesian inference for volatility models in financial time series
Creators: name: Surapaitoolkorn, Wantanee
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2006

description: The aim of the thesis is to study the two principal volatility models used in ¯nancial time series, and to perform inference using a Bayesian approach. The ¯rst model is the Deterministic Time-Varying volatility represented by Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (ARCH) models. The second model is the Stochastic Time Varying volatility or Stochastic Volatility (SV) model. The thesis concentrates on using Financial Foreign Exchange (FX) data including time series for four Asian countries of Thailand, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong, and FX data sets from other countries. The time period this particular FX data set covers includes the recent biggest crisis in Asian ¯nancial markets in 1997. The analysis involves exploring high frequency ¯nancial FX data where the sets of data used are the daily and hourly opening FX rates. The key development of the thesis is the implementation of changepoint models to allow for non-stationarity in the volatility process. The changepoint approach has only rarely been implemented for volatility data. In this thesis, the changepoint model for SVtype volatility structures is formulated. The variable dimensional nature of the inference problem, that is, that the number as well as the locations of the volatility changepoints are unknown, is acknowledged and incorporated, as are the potential leptokurtic nature of ¯nancial returns. The Bayesian computational approach used for making inference about the model parameters is Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Another contribution of this thesis is the study of reparameterizations of parameters in both ARCH and SV models. The objective is to improve the performance of the MCMC method.
Instability of polarised algebraic varieties
Creators: name: Ross, Julius
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2006

description: By analogy with the definition for sheaves, we define the slope of a polarised algebraic variety and of each of its subschemes. This gives a notion of slope stability, which we show is a necessary condition for K-stability. We also give the modifications needed to get a necessary condition for asymptotic Chow stability. We then give various calculations of slope and concrete examples. These examples have been chosen to be of interest to the conjectured correspondence between K-stability and the existence of K¨ahler metrics of constant scalar curvature. In particular we get new examples of polarised manifolds that do not admit such metrics.

On the number of coloured triangulations of $d$-manifolds

description: We give superexponential lower and upper bounds on the number of coloured $d$-dimensional triangulations whose underlying space is an oriented manifold, when the number of simplices goes to infinity and $d\geq 3$ is fixed. In the special case of dimension $3$, the lower and upper bounds match up to exponential factors, and we show that there are $2^{O(n)} n^{\frac{n}{6}}$ coloured triangulations of $3$-manifolds with $n$ tetrahedra. Our results also imply that random coloured triangulations of $3$-manifolds have a sublinear number of vertices. Our upper bounds apply in particular to coloured $d$-spheres for which they seem to be the best known bounds in any dimension $d\geq 3$, even though it is often conjectured that exponential bounds hold in this case. We also ask a related question on regular edge-coloured graphs having the property that each $3$-coloured component is planar, which is of independent interest.

description: On August 22, 1977, the proposed Patterson Wellfield Transmission Pipeline right-of-way was surveyed by the Museum of Northern Arizona. One site, NA15,313 was located during the survey; it is a small sherd and lithic scatter of the Cibola Anasazi culture dating from the Pueblo II or Pueblo III periods situated on a small knoll top in a juniper-sage covered area near the southern end of the right-of-way. It is recommended that the routing of either the proposed right-of-way or the easement boundaries be altered to avoid this site. If this is not possible, other mitigation solutions, such as sample excavations at the site, should be considered.
Numerical methods for the solution of two-point boundary value problems
Creators: name: Sumarti, Novriana
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2006

description: The numerical approximation of solutions of ordinary differential equations played an important role in Numerical Analysis and still continues to be an active field of research. This is mainly due to the pressure of needs to model mathematically real world phenomena. In this thesis we are mainly concerned with the numerical solution of the first-order system of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems dy dx = f (x, y), a≤ x ≤ b, g(y(a), y(b)) = 0, where y ∈ Rn, f : R × Rn → Rn, and g : Rn × Rn → Rn. We will focus on the problem of solving singular perturbation problems since this has for many years been a source of difficulty to applied mathematicians and numerical analysts alike. We consider first deferred correction schemes based on Mono-Implicit Runge- Kutta (MIRK) and Lobatto formulae. As is to be expected, the scheme based on Lobatto formulae, which are implicit, is more stable than the scheme based on MIRK formulae which are explicit. Another deferred correction scheme, which uses the idea of the superconvergent deferred correction schemes, is also derived, and is shown to be highly stable compared to MIRK deferred correction schemes. To provide the continuous extension of the discrete solution, we construct high order interpolants based on an approach of using the already computed discrete solutions obtained on the final mesh. We will consider the construction of both explicit and implicit interpolants. An interpolation using a quasi-uniform grid is also introduced. This grid is naturally obtained in the mesh doubling which is a part of Richardson extrapolation. The estimation of conditioning numbers is discussed and used to develop mesh selection algorithms which will be appropriate for solving stiff linear and nonlinear boundary value problems. The algorithms are implemented in codes using deferred correction schemes based on MIRK and Lobatto formulae and the performance of codes which take account of the conditioning is compared with the performance of codes which use accuracy alone. Most of problems discussed in this thesis are two-point boundary value problems with separated boundary conditions. To complete our discussion, we explain numerical methods for solving two-point boundary value problems with nonseparated conditions, problems which contain parameters and those where the boundary conditions are given as integral constraints. We implement QR decomposition based on Householder transformations in the numerical experiments and discuss the results compared with Gaussian elimination.
Ten Dimensional Heterotic String as a Soliton
Creators: name: Dabholkar, Atish

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: It is shown that the heterotic string emerges as a soliton in the type I superstring theory in ten dimensions. The collective coordinates of the soliton are described by a smooth, chiral worldsheet theory. There are eight bosonic and eight right-moving fermionic zero modes that arise from the partially broken supertranslations. In addition, there are 496 charged bosonic zero modes of the gauge field that describe a left-moving WZNW model on a $spin(32)/{Z_2}$ group manifold. Small, stable loops of the solitonic string furnish the massive states required by duality that transform as spinors of $spin(32)$.

description: During the months of April and May, 1976, Salt River Project requested that the Museum of Northern Arizona inspect a number of test pit and bore hole locations along the proposed Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad. Proposed test locations were examined along three alternative alignments, Realignment 1, Realignment 2, and the Western Alignment. A total of 19 archaeological sites were found during these investigations. Based on the data collected during this time, numerical evaluations of archaeological sensitivity along each of the alternative alignments have been prepared.
The Development-Environment Tradeoff from Cash Crops: Evidence from Benin

description: This paper investigates the development-environment tradeoff from cultivating cash crops. We classify cashew plantations between 2015-2021 across Benin, one of West Africa’s largest cashew producers, using a deep learning model trained on data from field visits. We document large income gains from exposure to these cashew plantations, but at the expense of nearby forest cover. We identify this tradeoff with cross-sectional comparisons on household survey data, two-way fixed effects with panel data, and a shift-share instrumental variables design using global cashew price shifts to instrument local cultivation. A 10 percentage point increase in land share under cashews increases local GDP by 1.3%, but reduces forest cover by 2.6%. Cost- benefit calculations show that doubling cultivation would generate $USD 66 million in aggregate income gains but cost $USD 147 million in terms of forest loss.
