Aspects of Time in Quantum Theory
Creators: name: Yearsley, James M.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: We consider a number of aspects of the problem of defining time observables in quantum theory. Time observables are interesting quantities in quantum theory because they often cannot be associated with self-adjoint operators. Their definition therefore touches on foundational issues in quantum theory. Various operational approaches to defining time observables have been proposed in the past. Two of the most common are those based on pulsed measurements in the form of strings of projection operators and continuous measurements in the form of complex potentials. One of the major achievements of this thesis is to prove that these two operational approaches are equivalent. However operational approaches are somewhat unsatisfying by themselves. To provide a definition of time observables which is not linked to a particular measurement scheme we employ the decoherent, or consistent, histories approach to quantum theory. We focus on the arrival time, one particular example of a time observable, and we use the relationship between pulsed and continuous measurements to relate the decoherent histories approach to one based on complex potentials. This lets us compute the arrival time probability distribution in decoherent histories and we show that it agrees with semiclassical expectations in the right limit. We do this both for a free particle and for a particle coupled to an environment. Finally, we consider how the results discussed in this thesis relate to those derived by coupling a particle to a model clock. We show that for a general class of clock models the probabilities thus measured can be simply related to the ideal ones computed via decoherent histories.

T-Duality in Arbitrary String Backgrounds

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

description: T-Duality is a poorly understood symmetry of the space-time fields of string theory that interchanges long and short distances. It is best understood in the context of toroidal compactification where, loosely speaking, radii of the torus are inverted. Even in this case, however, conventional techniques permit an understanding of the transformations only in the case where the metric on the torus is endowed with Abelian Killing symmetries. Attempting to apply these techniques to a general metric appears to yield a non-local world-sheet theory that would defy interpretation in terms of space-time fields. However, there is now available a simple but powerful general approach to understanding the symmetry transformations of string theory, which are generated by certain similarity transformations of the stress-tensors of the associated conformal field theories. We apply this method to the particular case of T-Duality and i) rederive the known transformations, ii) prove that the problem of non-locality is illusory, iii) give an explicit example of the transformation of a metric that lacks Killing symmetries and iv) derive a simple transformation rule for arbitrary string fields on tori.

The Topological Unitarity Identities in Chern-Simons Theories

description: Starting from the generating functional of the theory of relativistic spinors in 2+1 dimensions interacting through the pure Chern-Simons gauge field, the S-matrix is constructed and seen to be formally the same as that of spinor quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions with Feynman diagrams having external photon lines excluded, and with the propagator of the topological Chern-Simons photon substituted for the Maxwell photon propagator. It is shown that the absence of real topological photons in the complete set of vector states of the total Hilbert space leads in a given order of perturbation theory to topological unitarity identities that demand the vanishing of the gauge-invariant sum of the imaginary parts of Feynman diagrams with a given number of internal on-shell free topological photon lines. It is also shown, that these identities can be derived outside the framework of perturbation theory. The identities are verified explicitly for the scattering of a fermion-antifermion pair in one-loop order.

Data-driven time-frequency analysis of multivariate data
Creators: name: Rehman, Naveed Ur
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a data-driven method for the decomposition and time-frequency analysis of real world nonstationary signals. Its main advantages over other time-frequency methods are its locality, data-driven nature, multiresolution-based decomposition, higher time-frequency resolution and its ability to capture oscillation of any type (nonharmonic signals). These properties have made EMD a viable tool for real world nonstationary data analysis. Recent advances in sensor and data acquisition technologies have brought to light new classes of signals containing typically several data channels. Currently, such signals are almost invariably processed channel-wise, which is suboptimal. It is, therefore, imperative to design multivariate extensions of the existing nonlinear and nonstationary analysis algorithms as they are expected to give more insight into the dynamics and the interdependence between multiple channels of such signals. To this end, this thesis presents multivariate extensions of the empirical mode de- composition algorithm and illustrates their advantages with regards to multivariate non- stationary data analysis. Some important properties of such extensions are also explored, including their ability to exhibit wavelet-like dyadic filter bank structures for white Gaussian noise (WGN), and their capacity to align similar oscillatory modes from multiple data channels. Owing to the generality of the proposed methods, an improved multi- variate EMD-based algorithm is introduced which solves some inherent problems in the original EMD algorithm. Finally, to demonstrate the potential of the proposed methods, simulations on the fusion of multiple real world signals (wind, images and inertial body motion data) support the analysis.

description: When deriving resonance strengths using the thick-target yield approximation, for very narrow resonances it may be necessary to take beam energy straggling into account. This applies to gas targets of a few keV width, especially if there is some additional structure in target stoichiometry or detection efficiency. The correction for this effect is shown and tested on recent studies of narrow resonances in the $^{22}$Ne(p,γ)$^{23}$Na and $^{14}$N(p,γ)$^{15}$O reactions.

Identification and characterisation of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) as a functionally important component of the CD40 receptor signalling complex
Creators: name: Gerlach, Bjorn
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: CD40 is a member of the Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-Receptor superfamily and plays an important role in maturation and differentiation of dendritic cells and B cells. In B cells, CD40 provides a costimulatory signal and facilitates differentiation, germinal centre formation and isotype switching. So far it has been shown that TNF-Receptor Associated Factors (TRAFs) and cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (cIAPs) are important mediators of CD40 signalling and needed for the activation of Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB) and Mitogen- Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways. However, the exact function of these components and their biochemical interplay are still unknown. Hence, our understanding of the CD40-Receptor Signalling Complex (RSC) which initiates CD40 signal transduction is incomplete. In order to understand the biochemical processes that initiate CD40 signalling a new technique suitable to identify core components of the CD40-RSC was developed in this thesis. This technique is based on the employment of a tandem-tagged recombinant version of CD40 ligand to purify the CD40-RSC in two separate steps. This resulted in higher purity of the receptor complex and allowed for determining the composition of the CD40-RSC by mass spectrometry. This established protocol revealed the recruitment of three novel constituents to the CD40- RSC. HOIL-1, HOIP and SHARPIN are able to form the Linear Ubiquitin Chain Assembly Complex (LUBAC) which catalyses the formation of linear ubiquitin chains. This complex was only recruited to the CD40-RSC when highly ubiquitinated cIAP2 was also present. It was then shown that HOIL-1 and HOIP can bind to ubiquitin chains in vitro and that cIAPs are required for LUBAC recruitment to the CD40-RSC. Specific suppression of LUBAC components by RNA interference or by genetic ablation resulted in an inhibitory effect on CD40 signal transduction, gene induction and isotype switching caused by a defect in NF-κB and MAPK signalling.

description: I consider Lagrangians which depend nonlocally in time but in such a way that there is no mixing between times differing by more than some finite value $Δt$. By considering these systems as the limits of ever higher derivative theories I obtain a canonical formalism in which the coordinates are the dynamical variable from $t$ to $t + {Δt}$. A simple formula for the conjugate momenta is derived in the same way. This formalism makes apparent the virulent instability of this entire class of nonlocal Lagrangians. As an example, the formalism is applied to a nonlocal analog of the harmonic oscillator.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Human lives are important. The decision to allow self-driving vehicles operate on our roads carries great weight. This has been a hot topic of debate between policy-makers, technologists and public safety institutions. The recent Uber Inc. self-driving car crash, resulting in the death of a pedestrian, has strengthened the argument that autonomous vehicle technology is still not ready for deployment on public roads. In this work, we analyze the Uber car crash and shed light on the question, "Could the Uber Car Crash have been avoided?". We apply state-of-the-art Computer Vision models to this highly practical scenario. More generally, our experimental results are an evaluation of various image enhancement and object recognition techniques for enabling pedestrian safety in low-lighting conditions using the Uber crash as a case study.

description: Using a simple thermo-hydrodynamic model that respects relativistic causality, we revisit the analysis of qualitative features of acoustic oscillations in the photon-baryon fluid. The growing photon mean free path introduces transient effects that can be modelled by the causal generalization of relativistic Navier-Stokes-Fourier theory. Causal thermodynamics provides a more satisfactory hydrodynamic approximation to kinetic theory than the quasi-stationary (and non-causal) approximations arising from standard thermodynamics or from expanding the photon distribution to first order in the Thomson scattering time. The causal approach introduces small corrections to the dispersion relation obtained in quasi-stationary treatments. A dissipative contribution to the speed of sound slightly increases the frequency of the oscillations. The diffusion damping scale is slightly increased by the causal corrections. Thus quasi-stationary approximations tend to over-estimate the spacing and under-estimate the damping of acoustic peaks. In our simple model, the fractional corrections at decoupling are $\gtrsim 10^{-3}$.
description: Improved version with new quantitative estimates and some corrections. We show how quasi-stationary approximations based on expanding the photon distribution to first order in the Thomson time tend to under-estimate the frequency and damping of acoustic oscillations

A New Look on the Electromagnetic Duality. Suggestions and Developments

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

description: In this paper a new look on the electro-magnetic duality is presented and appropriately exploited. The duality analysis in the nonrelativistic and relativistic formulations is shown to lead to the idea the mathematical model field to be a differential form valued in the 2-dimensional vector space ${\cal R}^2$. A full ${\cal R}^2$ covariance is achieved through introducing explicitly the canonical complex structure ${\cal I}$ of ${\cal R}^2$ in the nonrelativistic equations. The connection of the relativistic Hodge * with ${\cal I}$ is shown and a complete coordinate free relativistic form of the equations and the conservative quantities is obtained. The duality symmetry is interpreted as invariance of the conservative quantities and conservation equations.

We find that the flow towards the infrared region is consistent with the main proposals for a C-theorem.

description: We present 44 validated planets from the 10$^\mathrm{th}$ observing campaign of the NASA $K2$ mission, as well as high resolution spectroscopy and speckle imaging follow-up observations. These 44 planets come from an initial set of 72 vetted candidates, which we subjected to a validation process incorporating pixel-level analyses, light curve analyses, observational constraints, and statistical false positive probabilities. Our validated planet sample has median values of $R_p$ = 2.2 $R_\oplus$, $P_\mathrm{orb}$ = 6.9 days, $T_{\mathrm{eq}}$ = 890 K, and $J$ = 11.2 mag. Of particular interest are four ultra-short period planets ($P_\mathrm{orb} \lesssim 1$ day), 16 planets smaller than 2 $R_\oplus$, and two planets with large predicted amplitude atmospheric transmission features orbiting infrared-bright stars. We also present 27 planet candidates, most of which are likely to be real and worthy of further observations. Our validated planet sample includes 24 new discoveries, and has enhanced the number of currently known super-Earths ($R_p \approx 1-2 R_\oplus$), sub-Neptunes ($R_p \approx 2-4 R_\oplus$), and sub-Saturns ($R_p \approx 4-8 R_\oplus$) orbiting bright stars ($J = 8-10$ mag) by $\sim$4%, $\sim$17%, and $\sim$11%, respectively.

Development of Novel Non-Viral Vectors for use in the Immunomodulation of Corneal Transplantation
Creators: name: Seow, Wei Yang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: About 25% of corneal grafts will fail within five years (mainly due to T-cell-mediated rejection) and the ex-vivo delivery of immunomodulatory genes to the cornea is one attractive method to improve survival rates. Early efforts focused on the use of viral vectors, whose toxicity and immunogenicity remain formidable barriers. Here, we developed an arginine-rich oligopeptide featuring a novel tri-block design. Each block served a specific purpose – DNA binding, endosomal escape and cell membrane penetration – and was systematically optimised. The peptides could effectively bind and protect DNA from physical and enzymatic degradation. Since the corneal endothelium is an important target for therapy, mouse corneal endothelial cells (MCEC) were chosen for initial in-vitro testing. The peptides depended heavily on cell surface heparan sulfate and utilised multiple endocytosis pathways to gain entry into MCEC. Importantly, they mediated indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) mRNA and protein expression efficiently in both MCEC and murine corneas. IDO catalyses the biodegradation of tryptophan which T-lymphocytes sensitively require for growth. Hence, IDO over-expression in the cornea can prolong allograft survival by locally suppressing T-cell activity. We demonstrated that the IDO expressed was biologically active and could suppress the growth of CD4 T-cells in a proliferation assay. Immunohistochemistry further determined that IDO expression was localised to the corneal endothelium and epithelium. Corneal transplantations were then performed using a fully MHC-mismatched mouse model. However, the survival of IDO-transfected grafts was only marginally prolonged relative to GFP-transfected corneas and was shortened compared to untreated corneas. Toxicity, as evidenced by propidium iodide staining, was suspected to shorten graft survival following peptide-mediated transfection. Efforts to modulate toxicity by reducing the transfection period in the presence of chloroquine also failed to prolong graft survival. Future work should therefore focus on reducing toxicity while improving the transfection efficiency of this peptide carrier.

description: New age determinations of the galactic disk globular clusters 47 Tuc, M71 and NGC6352 have been performed with our up-to-date alpha-enhanced stellar models. We find that all three clusters are about 9.2 Gyr old and therefore coeval with the oldest disk white dwarfs. Several arguments are presented which indicate that the initial helium content of the stars populating these clusters is close to the solar one. We also revisit a total of 28 halo clusters, for which we use an updated [Fe/H] scale. This new metallicity scale leads on average to an age reduction of around 0.8 Gyr relative to our previous results. We compare the predicted cluster distances, which result from our dating method, with the most recent distances based on HIPPARCOS parallaxes of local subdwarfs. We further demonstrate that for the most metal-rich clusters scaled-solar isochrones no longer can be used to replace alpha-enhanced ones at the same total metallicity. The implications of the presented age determinations are discussed in the context of the formation history of the Galaxy.

Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride) (PVDF) Based Hydrophilic Hollow Fibre Membranes - Prospects for Wastewater Treatment
Creators: name: Moghareh Abed, Mohammad Reza
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The growing need for suitable water resources has attracted attention to new water and wastewater treatment processes, such as membrane filtration. Due to the excellent properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymer and membranes, such as excellent chemical and thermal resistance along with great mechanical strength, the PVDF membrane is a suitable candidate for the water and wastewater industry. As a result, there have been many attempts to improve the performance of PVDF membranes, particularly in terms of water flux and fouling resistance, in order to increase the membrane’s lifespan and reduce operating costs. This thesis explores such PVDF membrane performance improvements through hydrophilic modification of the bulk membrane. In this study, the recently developed process of atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) was used to graft hydrophilic chains of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (POEM) onto the backbone of the PVDF polymer to synthesise an amphiphilic copolymer (PVDF-g-POEM). A new, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective method was introduced to purify the synthesised amphiphilic copolymer by using water instead of volatile solvents. The amphiphilic copolymer was used as a blend in the spinning dope and the effect of blending this amphiphilic copolymer on the prepared hollow fibres was studied in detail. A wide range of hydrophilic PVDF based hollow fibres was achieved by changing the spinning parameters and dope compositions. Moreover, nano-sized γ-Al2O3 particles were used as an additive to improve PVDF flat sheet membranes. By using alumina particles, the filtration performance, surface hydrophilicity and fouling resistance of membranes improved significantly. In addition, by using triethyl phosphate (TEP) as the solvent, PVDF hollow fibre membranes with interconnected pore structures were produced via a single step immersion precipitation technique. The resultant PVDF hollow fibre membranes displayed excellent mechanical properties because of their macro-void free structures. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as an additive to improve the water flux of the produced membranes and PVDF hollow-fibre membranes suitable for water and wastewater treatments in the range of ultrafiltration were obtained.

description: In this interview, Dr. Marie Nyswander discusses her career as a psychoanalyst working in New York City. Nyswander discusses her education at Sarah Lawrence College and Cornell University where she studied and trained to be a surgeon. She discusses her pivot from surgery to psychoanalysis. She describes her assignment to Lexington Kentucky Hospital through the Public Health Service during World War II. She discusses in great detail the negative attitudes towards drug addicts that were popular in the medical field at large, and specifically amongst the staff at Lexington Hospital. She discusses her 1956 book, "The Drug Addict as a Patient," including her motivations for writing it and the research she conducted. She explains in depth the long and complex process of developing the methadone treatment. She describes her discovery of the nature of addiction as a metabolic disease not a psychological disorder as it was previously conceptualized in the medical field. She describes pushback of the methadone treatment by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and its then commissioner Harry J. Anslinger, the medical examiner's office, and the pervasive, generally conservative attitudes around drugs in the medical field. She describes the process of writing and presenting her findings alongside her research partner and husband Dr. Vincent Dole. Nyswander discusses the methadone "boom" in the 1960s and speculates what sociocultural factors may explain why the treatment took off. She discusses what an optimal narcotic policy in the United States would look like, mentioning a transition from methadone clinics to private care. She discusses the evolution of the methadone program since its inception, and its shortcomings

The Influence of Accelerating Entropy Inhomogeneities on Combustor Thermoacoustics
Creators: name: Goh, Chee Su
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The growing global concern over environmental emissions such as nitrogen oxides and noise sets challenging problems for aero-propulsion engineers. Acoustic waves generated by unsteady combustion not only contribute towards the overall noise transmission, but may also cause thermoacoustic instability in combustors, particularly those designed for low NOx emissions. Combustion noise is generated by unsteady combustion – either by the direct generation of acoustic waves or indirectly by the creation of entropy waves. Entropy waves by themselves are silent, but when accelerated, such as through the combustor exit, they create further acoustic waves known as entropy noise. This thesis aims to study transmitted and reflected combustion noise. Current predictions for noise transmission often assume that the wavelengths of the flow perturbations are large compared to the combustor length, known as the compact assumption. We will develop predictions for finite-length combustors accurate to first-order in frequency. The effect of the interaction between an oscillating shock wave with combustion noise is also studied analytically. The predictions agree with data from numerical simulations. Combustion acoustics reflected at the combustor exit may go on to interfere with the combustion process, setting up a feedback mechanism that may lead to thermoacoustic instability. A modified combustor model is presented to study the effect of dissipation and dispersion of entropy waves on the instability, and it was found that the extent of dissipation or dispersion not only plays a significant role on whether instability occurs, but also determines the dominant frequency of oscillations. Furthermore, analytical and numerical investigations suggest that entropy waves are convected with the flow undissipated, and that modelling improvements may be made to take entropy dispersion into account. The findings in this work provide better tools to understand indirect combustion acoustics and to analyse their importance in both transmitted combustion noise and the thermoacoustic instability experienced by low NOx combustors.

description: We investigate the relationship between explosion energy and nucleosynthesis in Population III supernovae and provide nucleosynthetic results for the explosions of stars with progenitor masses of $15\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, $20\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, $30\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, $40\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, $60\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, and $80\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, and explosion energies between approximately $10^{50}$ erg and $10^{53}$ erg. We find that the typical abundance pattern observed in metal-poor stars are best matched by supernovae with progenitor mass in the range $15\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ - $30\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$, and explosion energy of $\sim$ ($5$ - $10$) $\times$ $10^{51}$ erg. In these models, a reverse shock caused by jumps in density between shells of different composition serves to decrease synthesis of chromium and manganese, which is favourable to matching the observed abundances in metal-poor stars. Spherically symmetric explosions of our models with progenitor mass $\geq$ $40\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ do not provide yields that are compatible with the iron-peak abundances that are typically observed in metal-poor stars, however, by approximating the yields that we might expect from these models in highly aspherical explosions, we find indications that explosions of stars $40\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ - $80\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ with bipolar jets may be good candidates for the enrichment sources of metal-poor stars with enhanced carbon abundances.

description: We show that the classic results of Schwinger on the exact propagation of particles in the background of constant field-strengths and plane waves can be readily extended to the case of non-commutative QED. It is shown that non-perturbative effects on constant backgrounds are the same as their commutative counterparts, provided the on-shell gauge invariant dynamics is referred to a non-perturbatively related space-time frame. For the case of the plane wave background, we find evidence of the effective extended nature of non-commutative particles, producing retarded and advanced effects in scattering. Besides the known `dipolar' character of non-commutative neutral particles, we find that charged particles are also effectively extended, but they behave instead as `half-dipoles'.

description: The rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) stars exhibit pulsational photometric and/or radial velocity variations on time scales of several minutes, which are essential to test current pulsation models as well as our assumptions of atmospheric structure characteristics. In addition, their chemical peculiarity makes them very interesting for probing stellar formation and evolution in the presence of a global magnetic field. To date, a limited number of only 61 roAp stars are known to show photometric variability. On the other hand, a literature survey yields 619 unique stars that have unsuccessfully been searched for variability of this kind. Stroemgren-Crawford uvbybeta photometry of stars from both subgroups were used to investigate whether there is a selection bias of the investigated stars. We also present new photometric measurements (202 hours in 59 different nights) of 55 roAp candidates.We did not detect any new roAp star. Although our detection limits are comparable to other surveys, we also did not find pulsations in the known roAp star HD 12098, which may be a consequence of temporal amplitude changes. On the other hand, we do find some evidence for photometric variability of beta CrB at its spectroscopically derived pulsation period. From the uvbybeta photometry we conclude that the blue border of the roAp instability strip appears observationally well defined, whereas the red border is rather poorly known and studied. Within these boundaries, a total of 4646 candidates were identified which appear worthwhile to be investigated for short-term pulsational variability.
