description: Microreversibility rules the fluctuations of the currents flowing across open systems in nonequilibrium (or equilibrium) steady states. As a consequence, the statistical cumulants of the currents and their response coefficients at arbitrary orders in the deviations from equilibrium obey time-reversal symmetry relations. It is shown that these relations allow us to systematically reduce the amount of independent quantities that need to be measured experimentally or computed theoretically in order to fully characterize the linear and nonlinear transport properties of general open systems. This reduction is shown to approach one half for quantities of arbitrarily high orders.

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of arrhythmia with accelerated and irregular heart rate (HR), leading to both heart failure and stroke and being responsible for an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In spite of its importance, the direct effects of AF on the arterial hemodynamic patterns are not completely known to date. Based on a multiscale modelling approach, the proposed work investigates the effects of AF on the local arterial fluid dynamics. AF and normal sinus rhythm (NSR) conditions are simulated extracting 2000 $\mathrm{RR}$ heartbeats and comparing the most relevant cardiac and vascular parameters at the same HR (75 bpm). Present outcomes evidence that the arterial system is not able to completely absorb the AF-induced variability, which can be even amplified towards the peripheral circulation. AF is also able to locally alter the wave dynamics, by modifying the interplay between forward and backward signals. The sole heart rhythm variation (i.e., from NSR to AF) promotes an alteration of the regular dynamics at the arterial level which, in terms of pressure and peripheral perfusion, suggests a modification of the physiological phenomena ruled by periodicity (e.g., regular organ perfusion)and a possible vascular dysfunction due to the prolonged exposure to irregular and extreme values. The present study represents a first modeling approach to characterize the variability of arterial hemodynamics in presence of AF, which surely deserves further clinical investigation.

description: Computing the semantic similarity between terms (or short text expressions) that have the same meaning but which are not lexicographically similar is a key challenge in many computer related fields. The problem is that traditional approaches to semantic similarity measurement are not suitable for all situations, for example, many of them often fail to deal with terms not covered by synonym dictionaries or are not able to cope with acronyms, abbreviations, buzzwords, brand names, proper nouns, and so on. In this paper, we present and evaluate a collection of emerging techniques developed to avoid this problem. These techniques use some kinds of web intelligence to determine the degree of similarity between text expressions. These techniques implement a variety of paradigms including the study of co-occurrence, text snippet comparison, frequent pattern finding, or search log analysis. The goal is to substitute the traditional techniques where necessary.

description: Free fatty acids (FFAs) are a degradation product of cocoa butter resulting from the spoilage of beans and derived products. They are known to be generated in beans of poor quality or stored under poor conditions. High FFA content is a serious quality defect and reduces the technical and economic value of the cocoa beans. 
The present project aimed to mitigate free fatty acids (FFA) levels in beans delivered by farmers groups to ofi factories in Côte d'Ivoire. We first investigated the main factors leading to FFA accumulation in our supply chain, through a survey of harvest and post-harvest practices and the collection of bean samples. This investigation carried out in the West of Côte d'Ivoire, identified 4 main factors impacting FFA levels: inclusion of spoiled beans in fermentation, fermentation methods, low frequency of harvest and poor drying conditions. Beans fermented in heaps on plastic tarp contained significantly higher levels of FFAs than beans fermented on banana leaves. 
In the study area, this was related to the low abundance of plantain trees and lead to the frequent use of plastic tarpaulin. Based on these findings, we selected 7 farmer groups (3254 farmers) which delivered beans with higher-than-average levels of FFA during the 2019/2020 season and deployed the following approach: 1) Distribution of banana suckers to farmers; 2) Training of farmers on best harvest and post-harvest practices; 3) Regular monitoring of changes in practices (surveys, quality analyses of beans and regular sampling at farmer gates). We delivered 60750 banana trees to farmers in 2020, for planting close to fermentation areas and provided training to 80% of the farmers on banana upkeep and good harvest and post-harvest practices. 
In the 2020/2021 season and before banana trees could provide enough leaves for fermentation, we started to observe a decrease in volumes of high FFA beans delivered by the cooperatives involved in the project, as compared to the 2019/2020 season (3% less volume above 1.75% FFA). 
This encouraging result suggested that farmers had started improving practices. Our survey and sampling results showed more frequent harvesting and increase in banana leaf fermentation. This resulted in less overripe pods and more sorting out of the worst beans. However, other factors could have contributed to the improvement. Greater impact will require continuous training of farmers, full use of banana leaves and implementation of integrated pest management practices such as pruning that contribute to improving pod and bean health.

description: Complex mechanical systems often exhibit strongly nonlinear behavior due to the presence of nonlinearities in the energy dissipation mechanisms, material constitutive relationships, or geometric/connectivity mechanics. Numerical modeling of these systems leads to nonlinear full-order models that possess an underlying Lagrangian structure. This work proposes a Lagrangian operator inference method enhanced with structure-preserving machine learning to learn nonlinear reduced-order models (ROMs) of nonlinear mechanical systems. This two-step approach first learns the best-fit linear Lagrangian ROM via Lagrangian operator inference and then presents a structure-preserving machine learning method to learn nonlinearities in the reduced space. The proposed approach can learn a structure-preserving nonlinear ROM purely from data, unlike the existing operator inference approaches that require knowledge about the mathematical form of nonlinear terms. From a machine learning perspective, it accelerates the training of the structure-preserving neural network by providing an informed prior, and it reduces the computational cost of the network training by operating on the reduced space. The method is first demonstrated on two simulated examples: a conservative nonlinear rod model and a two-dimensional nonlinear membrane with nonlinear internal damping. Finally, the method is demonstrated on an experimental dataset consisting of digital image correlation measurements taken from a lap-joint beam structure from which a predictive model is learned that captures amplitude-dependent frequency and damping characteristics accurately. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach yields generalizable nonlinear ROMs that exhibit bounded energy error, capture the nonlinear characteristics reliably, and provide accurate long-time predictions outside the training data regime.

Investigations of the MAST SOL using the reciprocating probe system

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Parallel flow in the scrape-off layer is a major area of interest in tokamak research, impacting on impurity transport, tritium retention and H-mode access. The work presented here is the first major investigation of SOL flow in the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST), using a Gundestrup probe specifically designed for the task. The results of a parameter scan in poloidal field, Bѳ, and temperature, T, of parallel velocity at the outboard mid-plane are presented, and the results and scalings compared to B2SOLPS5.0 simulations of MAST and a simple analytical model, in order to identify the relative importance of drift mechanisms (such as Pfirsch-Schluter and E × B) for driving parallel flow. The results show the predicted linear scaling with temperature and poloidal field strength, but also suggest a density dependence. Another major are of interest is the discovery in recent years of coherent filamentary structures that are radially convected through the L-mode SOL. These filaments are believed to contain sharp gradients in temperature, density and plasma potential, complicating probe analysis. An investigation to characterise the intermittency of the MAST SOL, it’s dependencies on poloidal field strength, density or temperature, and the impact of the filaments on probe measurements was also carried out, and a probe was built to further investigate the structure and dynamics of the filaments. Based on these experiments a method for resolving the flow in the filaments and background plasma was developed and applied in the flow experiments described above. It is found that the parallel Mach numbers are lower in the filaments than the ambient plasma in the far SOL — suggesting either ion temperatures are at least on the order of 4 times the electron temperature — or parallel flow velocity is substantially lower in the filaments than in the background plasma.

description: We present a detailed Lattice QCD study of the unpolarized isovector quark Parton Distribution Function (PDF) using large-momentum effective theory framework. We choose a quasi-PDF defined by a spatial correlator which is free from mixing with other operators of the same dimension. In the lattice simulation, we use a Gaussian-momentum-smeared source at $M_π=356$ MeV and $P_z \in \{1.8,2.3\}$ GeV. To control the systematics associated with the excited states, we explore {five different source-sink separations}. The nonperturbative renormalization is conducted in a regularization-independent momentum subtraction scheme, and the matching between the renormalized quasi-PDF and $\bar{\rm MS}$ PDF is calculated based on perturbative QCD up to one-loop order. Systematic errors due to renormalization and perturbative matching are also analyzed in detail. Our results for lightcone PDF are in reasonable agreement with the latest phenomenological analysis.

The Effects of Total Knee Replacement on the Extensor Retinaculum of the Knee
Creators: name: Ghosh, Kanishka Milton
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: INTRODUCTION: Patellofemoral dysfunction following total knee replacement (TKR) is significant. Due to the intimate relationship of the femoral component and patella, aspects of knee arthroplasty such as femoral component malrotation and patellofemoral overstuff have been sited as predisposing factors to such complications. The principal structures of the extensor retinaculum act as a checkrein for the patella as it tracks over the femur. Little biomechanical information is available on the behaviour of these structures, or the effects of TKR on them. AIM: The aim of this thesis was to measure retinacular behaviour in the normal knee and following TKR. We hypothesise that TKR will cause significant elongation of the retinacula and this would be further deranged with the addition of femoral component malrotation and patellofemoral overstuff. METHODS: Retinacular length changes were measured by threading fine sutures along the retinacula and attaching these to displacement transducers. The intact knee was flexed-extended on a custom built rig, while the quadriceps were tensed. Measurements were repeated post-TKR (Genesis II CR, Smith & Nephew Co.), following internal/external rotation of the femoral component 5° and finally altering the resurfaced patellar thickness by 2mm increments. RESULTS: The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) was close to isometric, whereas the lateral retinaculum slackened significantly with knee extension. TKR did not cause statistically significant elongation of the retinacula. Internal rotation of the femoral component resulted in the MPFL slackening whereas external rotation resulted in the MPFL tightening as the knee extended. The lateral retinaculum showed no significant differences. Overstuffing the patellofemoral joint caused significant stretching of the MPFL at all angles of knee flexion, but very little change in the lateral retinaculum. CONCLUSION: This work has shown a correctly positioned TKR does not cause significant retinacular length changes sufficient to affect knee function. It has shown that small changes in femoral component rotation and patellofemoral overstuff of 4mm cause significant changes, particularly in the medial structures and not the lateral structures, contrary to current understanding. This work has described for the first time how the lateral retinaculum’s mobile attachments allow its principal fibres to move anteriorly and posteriorly with the patella, taking up any slack/tension produced by abnormal patellar shift/tilt. This work provides important insight into the contribution of the retinacula to patellofemoral biomechanics after knee replacements and may help in developing a more soft tissue friendly knee prosthesis.

The mycorrhizal fungi involved in the tree invasion of lowland heathlands
Creators: name: Collier, Fay Alexandra
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: In England, the loss of lowland heathland, a habitat of high conservation importance, is primarily due to the invasion of birch and pine. This secondary succession has been researched in depth from a plant perspective but little is known about the role of mycorrhizal fungi, even though both trees and heather are mycorrhizal. In fact, tree encroachment onto lowland heathland can be regarded as the replacement of a resident ericoid mycorrhizal community by an invading ectomycorrhizal community. I determined the identity and distribution of the ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with birch and pine encroachment onto lowland heathlands. I established whether there are mycorrhizal fungi that mediate the invasion by a) comparing the mycorrhizal inoculum potential of soil and ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity at three levels of invasion (uninvaded heathland, invaded heathland and woodland), b) comparing the fungi forming mycorrhizas on tree seedlings and trees across diverse sites, c) determining the effect of proximity to trees on mycorrhization and seedling biomass, and d) identifying fungal dispersal methods. I established that in lowland heathlands i) seedlings have limited access to ectomycorrhizal fungi even within sapling rooting zones, ii) ectomycorrhizal inoculum potential increases as the level of tree invasion increases, iii) mycorrhizal seedlings accumulate more biomass than non-mycorrhizal seedlings, iv) there are five keystone ectomycorrhizal fungi that participate in tree invasion - Rhizopogon luteolus, Suillus bovinus, S. variegatus (pine symbionts), Laccaria proxima and Thelephora terrestris (primarily birch symbionts), v) some ectomycorrhizal fungi cannot colonise seedlings via spores, and vi) ectomycorrhizal communities differ between lowland heathland sites. This study is the first to identify the mycorrhizal fungi that associate with tree seedlings on lowland heathlands and it is one of the first biome-level mycorrhizal studies of secondary plant succession. The data presented provide the stepping-stones required for future ecologically-relevant modelling and experimentation aimed at understanding mycorrhizal invasions.

description: In this paper, the problem of joint power and resource allocation (JPRA) for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) in vehicular networks is studied. Therein, the network-wide power consumption of vehicular users (VUEs) is minimized subject to high reliability in terms of probabilistic queuing delays. Using extreme value theory, a new reliability measure is defined to characterize extreme events pertaining to vehicles' queue lengths exceeding a predefined threshold. To learn these extreme events, assuming they are independently and identically distributed over VUEs, a novel distributed approach based on federated learning (FL) is proposed to estimate the tail distribution of the queue lengths. Considering the communication delays incurred by FL over wireless links, Lyapunov optimization is used to derive the JPRA policies enabling URLLC for each VUE in a distributed manner. The proposed solution is then validated via extensive simulations using a Manhattan mobility model. Simulation results show that FL enables the proposed method to estimate the tail distribution of queues with an accuracy that is close to a centralized solution with up to 79% reductions in the amount of exchanged data. Furthermore, the proposed method yields up to 60% reductions of VUEs with large queue lengths, while reducing the average power consumption by two folds, compared to an average queue-based baseline.

description: Results of a relativistic model for pion- and photon-induced reactions on the proton are presented. The model is crossing symmetric and gauge invariant. The nucleon resonances P_11 (1440), P_11 (1710), D_13 (1520), S_11 (1535), S_11 (1650), P_33 (1232), P_33 (1600), S_31 (1620), and D_33 (1700) have been included explicitly in the calculation. Unitarity within the channel space πN + γN below the two-pion production threshold has been achieved by using the K-matrix approach. Strong and electromagnetic coupling parameters of the N* resonances have been determined from a fit to the pion-nucleon phase shifts, pion-photoproduction multipoles and Compton-scattering cross sections. The model is shown to describe simultaneously most of the available data. Results for the electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the nucleon are presented.

description: This report presents the results of an archaeological site file search and survey of a 275-acre parcel in Queen Creek, Arizona (Figure 1). SWCA conducted this archaeological assessment at the request of Vistoso Partners prior to development of this parcel. This project was conducted in accordance with Queen Creek Town Ordinance (Sec. 4.2A10). This privately owned parcel is located in the S 1/2 of Section 9, Township 2 South, Range 7 East of the Higley 7.5' quadrangle, Maricopa County, Arizona. A site file search revealed three archaeological sites and nine surveys previously documented within a half-mile radius of this project area. The National Register property, historic Queen Creek School, is located just outside the southeast portion of this parcel. AZ Y:2:32 (ASM), the historic Phoenix and Eastern spur line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, bounds the southwest comer of this parcel. This site falls outside the boundary of this project area; a large fence-lined drainage ditch is located between the border of this parcel and the railroad. This proposed development will not adversely affect either site. Two prehistoric sites, AZ U:10:2 (ASM)/ S.W. Germann Site and AZ U:10:116(ASM)/Rittenhouse Ruin, occur within this project area. The northwestern boundary of AZ U:10:116(ASM) falls within the southeast boundary of this parcel; no archaeological remains associated with this site were found in the project area. Additionally, the southeastern boundary of AZ U:10:2 (ASM) falls within the northwest boundary of this parcel; no archaeological remains clearly associated with this site were identified in the project area. Five isolated artifact occurrences (IOs) were recorded approximately 300 m west of AZ U:10:2 (ASM), located adjacent to a cement-lined irrigation canal. These artifacts may have been associated with AZ U:10:2 (ASM) but appear to have been plowed up against the west edge of the canal and are, therefore, not in situ. No other archaeological resources were observed in association with AZ U:10:2 (ASM). As a result, no further archaeological work is recommended.

description: The search for solutions of field theories allowing for topological solitons requires that we find the field configuration with the lowest energy in a given sector of topological charge. The standard approach is based on the numerical solution of the static Euler-Lagrange differential equation following from the field energy. As an alternative, we propose to use a simulated annealing algorithm to minimize the energy functional directly. We have applied simulated annealing to several nonlinear classical field theories: the sine-Gordon model in one dimension, the baby Skyrme model in two dimensions and the nuclear Skyrme model in three dimensions. We describe in detail the implementation of the simulated annealing algorithm, present our results and get independent confirmation of the studies which have used standard minimization techniques.

In-Column Electrochemical Detection for Liquid Chromatography
Creators: name: Leow, Pei Ling
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: This research focuses on the development of whole column detection (WCD) for liquid chromatography (LC). The WCD uses electrochemical techniques for detecting the analytes passing through the separation column. Electrode array for in-column electrochemical detection (ICED) is fabricated along the separation column to enable whole column separation monitoring and allow better understanding on the affinity of particular analyte to the stationary and mobile phases. Numerical models were built to understand the feasibility and differences of electrochemical detection within an unpacked and packed column. From the simulated results, the surface area of the electrode was not hindered by the presence of the particles in flow condition. An electrochemical microfluidic device has been successfully fabricated on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate using the reverse imprinting technique. The photolithographically produced gold metal electrode lines were imprinted into the PET substrate using a blank mould and produced an inlaid electrode array with overall step residue within 40 nm. The semi-cured thermoset polyester channel was irreversibly thermal bonded on the PET substrate. The devices were able to tolerate pressure in excess of 90 bars. The PET column was packed with 5 μm C18 silica beads to perform reverse phase chromatography separation. The array was electrochemically characterised using standard redox probes in both stagnant conditions and under flow. Both numerical modelling and experimental data show improved sensitivity under flow and a limiting current which scaled linearly with cubic root of volume flow rate. Isocratic and gradient mode chromatographic separations of neurotransmitters and metabolites: serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline, 5- HIAA and DOPAC were conducted in the fabricated device. Separation progress was electrochemically detected at multiple locations along the column. Whole column assessment on separation efficiency and column packing efficiency monitoring were conducted using the ICED.

description: In this paper the stability and the renormalizability of Yang-Mills theory in the Background Field Gauge are studied. By means of Ward Identities of Background gauge invariance and Slavnov-Taylor Identities the stability of the classical model is proved and, in a regularization independent way, its renormalizability is verified. A prescription on how to build the counterterms is given and the possible anomalies which may appear for Ward Identities and for Slavnov-Taylor Identities are shown.

description: BACKGROUND Health impact assessment (HIA) has been widely used to assess major projects, transport initiatives, agriculture, housing and in land use planning proposals. The extent of use of HIA within the health sector has been less widespread. An audit was undertaken of HIAs conducted on health sector proposals, in order to identify the characteristics of these HIAs and describe the settings in which they were conducted. METHODS An audit of published and reported HIAs, including peer reviewed journals and grey literature. Reports were audited for their content, and reporting quality was appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program qualitative checklist. RESULTS The study identified 18 HIAs that had been conducted in the health sector. All these HIAs were conducted in developed countries using qualitative data and other sources to make assessments about potential health impacts. The HIAs identified addressed a diverse range of policy, projects and program proposals across various health sector settings. A limitation of this audit is that there are likely to have been a range of HIAs undertaken within the health sector that were not publicly reported or published. CONCLUSIONS Opportunities exist to improve the use of HIAs across health settings internationally, including enhancing reporting. Additionally, the capability to undertake and support HIAs within the health sector may have an important role in sustaining and supporting the use of HIA across sectors and to support a Health in All Policies approach. Importantly it may demonstrate that health sector actors consider HIA’s use important enough to practice themselves.

description: High-power ultra-low noise single-mode single-frequency lasers are in great demand for interferometric metrology. Robust, compact all-fiber lasers represent one of the most promising technologies to replace the current laser sources in use based on injection-locked ring resonators or multi-stage solid-state amplifiers. Here, a linearly-polarized high-power ultra-low noise all-fiber laser is demonstrated at a power level of 100 W. Special care has been taken in the study of relative intensity noise (RIN) and its reduction. Using an optimized servo actuator to directly control the driving current of the pump laser diode (LD), we obtain a large feedback bandwidth of up to 1.3 MHz. The RIN reaches-160 dBc/Hz between 3 kHz and 20 kHz.
Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz and Threefold Triangulations

description: In the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz approach to 2D integrable, ADE-related quantum field theories one derives a set of algebraic functional equations (a Y-system) which play a prominent role. This set of equations is mapped into the problem of finding finite triangulations of certain 3D manifolds. This mapping allows us to find a general explanation of the periodicity of the Y-system. For the $A_N$ related theories and more generally for the various restrictions of the fractionally-supersymmetric sine-Gordon models, we find an explicit, surprisingly simple solution of such functional equations in terms of a single unknown function of the rapidity. The recently-found dilogarithm functional equations associated to the Y-system simply express the invariance of the volume of a manifold for deformations of its triangulations.

description: As a result of the Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act of 1982, part of the water that will be delivered to southern Arizona via the Central Arizona Project (CAP) aqueducts is allotted to the Papago Indian Reservation along with 28,200 acre-feet of water from other sources, Franzoy-Corey Engineers and Architects of Phoenix has been selected by the Papago Tribe as principal engineers for planning irrigated-agricultural developments on the Schuk Toak and San Xavier districts of the reservation. The goal of the planning effort is to design for the beneficial use of Settlement Act water by the tribe while alleviating any adverse environmental impacts. This endeavor is referred to as the Papago Water Supply (PWS) project. As part of the planning process, Franzoy-Corey has subcontracted with the Institute for American Research for a Class III cultural resource survey of PWS study areas in both of these reservation districts. Archaeological survey will cover 6880 acres (10.75 square miles) of proposed agricultural development land on the Garcia Strip, located within the Schuk Toak District, and 14,400 acres (22.5 square miles) on the San Xavier District. In addition, a 136-acre (2.2-mile X 1000-foot) corridor of delivery pipeline right-of-way east of the Schuk Toak will be surveyed. Information provided by the Institute will be used by the two districts and Franzoy-Corey to determine the most suitable locations for agricultural development.

description: We develop a recursive approach to computing Neveu-Schwarz conformal blocks associated with n-punctured Riemann surfaces. This work generalizes the results of [1] obtained recently for the Virasoro algebra. The method is based on the analysis of the analytic properties of the superconformal blocks considered as functions of the central charge c. It consists of two main ingredients: the study of the singular behavior of the conformal blocks and the analysis of their asymptotic properties when c tends to infinity. The proposed construction is applicable for computing multi-point blocks in different topologies. We consider some examples for genus zero and one with different numbers of punctures. As a by-product, we propose a new way to solve the recursion relations, which gives more efficient computational procedure and can be applied to SCFT case as well as to pure Virasoro blocks.
