Using InSAR to identify potential geotechnical hazards for tideway east and other tunnelling projects in London
Creators: name: Scoular, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) can measure ground deformation over wide areas with millimetric precision. Real and perceived differences, between InSAR and ground-based measurements, have caused slow uptake of this technique within civil engineering. London’s sub-surface contains numerous geotechnical hazards, many of which are under-represented on geological maps due to the challenges of conventional geological mapping in urban areas; these present considerable risks for engineering projects. Differences between InSAR and ground-based measurements have been addressed through validation with monitoring data from the Northern Line Extension and Thames Tideway East (TTE) tunnels. Comparisons of InSAR datasets derived from different satellites and processing chains have also been undertaken. In general, strong correlations were observed and the bigger the displacement measured, the stronger the correlation. The benefits of InSAR during geotechnical site investigation are revealed through retrospective analysis of the Lee Tunnel; had InSAR data been analysed prior to tunnelling, an unusual displacement pattern caused by a drift-filled hollow may have been recognised. A TTE tunnel baseline study identified that much of the significant subsidence along its route is from tunnel settlement and dewatering induced for Crossrail. InSAR data from ascending and descending passes can be decomposed into vertical and horizontal components, making it easier to distinguish anthropogenic from natural causes. Anthropogenically induced displacements were largely vertical, and the horizontal displacements reveal a ‘blocky’ pattern, likely due to faulting. Two-thirds of the probable faults had multiple lines of evidence when compared with published geological maps. Active construction sites have a changing surface expression resulting in few persistent scatterers (PS). Corner reflectors, as artificial PS, were installed at nine locations across London to assess their utility in increasing PS density. Results show that the corner reflectors are readily identifiable in X-band SAR intensity data but less clear in C-band. The findings of this research demonstrate the value, as well as limitations, of InSAR for geoscientists and civil engineers, at all stages of a project lifecycle.

description: We report a calculation of the low-lying baryon magnetic moments using covariant chiral perturbation theory within the extended-on-mass-shell renormalization scheme including intermediate octet and decuplet contributions. For the case of the baryon octet, we succeed to improve the Coleman-Glashow description by including the leading SU(3)$_F$-breaking effects coming from the lowest-order loops. We compare with previous attempts at the same order using heavy-baryon and covariant infrared chiral perturbation theory, and discuss the source of the differences. For the case of the decuplet-baryons we fix the only unknown LEC with the well measured magnetic dipole moment of the $Ω^-$ and predict the corresponding ones of the $Δ(1232)$ isospin multiplet. In particular we obtain $μ_{Δ^{++}}=6.0(6) μ_N$ and $μ_{Δ^{+}}=2.84(34) μ_N$ that compare well with the current experimental information.

description: Superconductor-insulator-ferromagnet-superconductor (SIFS) Josephson tunnel junctions based on Nb\Al2O3\Ni\Cu\Nb stacks with a thickness step in the metallic NiCu interlayer were fabricated. The step height of a few 0.1 nm was defined by optical lithography and controlled etching of both Nb and NiCu layers. Experimentally determined junction parameters by current-voltage characteristics and Fraunhofer pattern indicate a uniform NiCu thickness and similar interface transparencies for etched and non-etched parts. The critical current diffraction pattern was calculated and measured for stepped junctions having the same ground phase difference but different critical current densities in both halves. The measured data show a good agreement with simulations.

Isomorphisms between semigroups of maps
Creators: name: Warren, Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Let X and Y be topological spaces and C and D semigroups under composition of maps from X to X and Y to Y respectively. Let H be an isomorphism from C to D; it is shown that if both C and D contain the constant maps then there exists a bijection h from X to Y such that H(f) = h∘f∘h⁻¹, VfɛC. We investigate this situation and find sufficient conditions for this h to be a homeomorphism. In this regard we study the familiar semigroups of continuous, closed, and connected maps. An auxiliary problem is the case when C = D and H is an automorphism of D), We then ask when is every automorphism is inner. The question is answered for certain particular semigroups; e.g., the semigroup of differentiable maps on the reals has the property that all automorphisms are inner.

description: Excerpts from the report: The United States Grain Standards Act was passed by the Congress in 1916. Under this legislation the United States Department of Agriculture has promulgated grain standards and has developed an inspection service which have materially facilitated the domestic and foreign commerce in grain. The official grain standards and the inspection service of the United States have become widely known and understood in the export trade, and they have enjoyed a high degree of confidence among European importers and millers. In fact, the official grain standards and the Federal supervision of grain inspection have functioned in an important way since 1916 in upholding for the grain industry of the United States the desirable commercial practice of selling export wheat on the basis of "certificate final" at United States seaboard. The final inspection, however, of a material part of the grain exports of the United States which has moved to Europe through the seaports of eastern Canada during the past 17 years has not been under the jurisdiction of the United States Government and has been a source of dissatisfaction to the grain producers and merchants of the United States, to the grain producers of Canada, to the European grain distributors and millers, and to the Government of the United States. This report is a condensed discussion of the phase of the grain-export business of the United States through Canadian ports. It is hoped that it may prove useful in a final solution of this important problem.

Methods: Radiative lifetimes were measured using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence from a laser-produced plasma. In addition, branching fractions were determined from intensity-calibrated spectra recorded with a UV Fourier transform spectrometer. The branching fractions and radiative lifetimes were combined to yield accurate transition probabilities and oscillator strengths. Results: We present laboratory measured transition probabilities for 145 Cr II lines and radiative lifetimes for 14 Cr II levels. The laboratory-measured transition probabilities are compared to the values from semi-empirical calculations and laboratory measurements in the literature.

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
Sports broadcasts today are detailed and immersive third-person experiences, allowing spectators to share first-hand experiences of athletes in real time as a result. One sport for which technology has had a significant impact is cricket. Broadcasters currently employ technologies such as the Hawkeye, Snickometer, Hot Spot, Zing Wicket system, Umpire cam, Stump cam, Spider Cam, Super Slow-Motion cam, and Speed Gun to give spectators rich information at their fingertips. They are continuously developing more advanced platforms to enhance every aspect of the game. Some of these technologies aid in accurate decision-making at key points by employing complex multi-physics modeling upon state-of-the-art acquisition equipment provided by broadcasters. However, 3D rendering technologies are expensive and require specialized crews to operate. The aim of this paper is to leverage this data to produce an automated pseudo 3D Representation of batsman motion for visual aids, motion analysis and decision making.

Significant strangeness enhancement is observed in the most central d+Au collisions, especially for multi-strange hyperons ($Ξ$). The nuclear modification factor ($R_{dAu}$) of identified particles shows possible particle type -- baryon (protons, $Λ$), meson ($π$,$K^0_S$, $ϕ$) -- dependence at intermediate $p_T$ (2 - 3.5 GeV/c), indicating that the final state may have an impact on the Cronin effect.

The landscape of quantum transitions driven by single-qubit unitary transformations with implications for entanglement

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: This paper considers the control landscape of quantum transitions in multi-qubit systems driven by unitary transformations with single-qubit interaction terms. The two-qubit case is fully analyzed to reveal the features of the landscape including the nature of the absolute maximum and minimum, the saddle points and the absence of traps. The results permit calculating the Schmidt state starting from an arbitrary two-qubit state following the local gradient flow. The analysis of multi-qubit systems is more challenging, but the generalized Schmidt states may also be located by following the local gradient flow. Finally, we show the relation between the generalized Schmidt states and the entanglement measure based on the Bures distance.

Development and psychometric properties of the smoking restraint questionnaire
Creators: name: Blake, GA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Restraint is a component of self-control that focuses on the deliberate reduction of an undesired behaviour and is theorised to play a role in smoking reduction and cessation. However, there exists no instrument to assess smoking restraint. The current research was conducted in two parts. First, a literature review summarised the nature of smoking and its relationship with restraint. Second, the Smoking Restraint Questionnaire (SRQ) was developed and tested on a large sample of smokers. Participants were 406 smokers (48% female; 52.2% non-daily) with a mean age of 38.83 years (SD = 12.05). After completing a baseline questionnaire designed to assess smoking restraint, they also completed 21-days of ecological momentary assessment (EMA). During EMA they recorded each cigarette smoked and answered questions related to planned restraint every morning and restraint attempts every evening. The 4-item SRQ was found to fit a single factor (RMSEA = .038, CFI = .99, TLI = .99) and was internally consistent (composite reliability = .74). The questionnaire assesses the setting of weekly restraint goals and attempts at not lighting up when tempted to smoke. Participant SRQ scores related positively to EMA data on plans to restrain (p < .001) and frequency of restraint attempts (p < .001). The SRQ is promising as a measure of smoking restraint and may enable further research and insights into smoking reduction and cessation.
Micro force Measurement by an Optical Method

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the application of stress-induced changes in the crystal of a monolithic Nd:YAG laser as a possibility for microforce measurement. In fact, application of an unknown force on the resonator-amplifier-crystal can lead to a several gigahertz change, depending on the force intensity, of the laser frequency. In addition, the changes rates of the two orthogonally polarizations of the same mode with applied force are different. Hence, the strength of the applied stress can be deduced from measurement of induced change in the beat frequency between the two polarizations or between the fast mode (mode polarized in the orthogonal direction of the stress) and a reference frequency.

We show that $A_{1g}$ Raman intensity has a true resonance peak below $2Δ$ for extended s-wave superconducting gap, $Δ(\mathbf{k}) = Δ(\cos k_x + \cos k_y)/2$ in the folded Brillouin zone. No such peak emerges for a pure s-wave gap, a d-wave gap, and another extended s-wave gap with $Δ(\mathbf{k}) = Δ\cos{\frac{k_x}{2}} \cos{\frac{k_y}{2}}$ proposed by several groups.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for schizophrenia : a meta-analysis
Creators: name: Holton, GA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Background: Despite the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for the treatment of schizophrenia, up to 60% continue to experience distressing symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions. Adjunctive cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is now recommended in many countries. There has been some debate as to whether CBT is effective in reducing the symptoms of schizophrenia. Meta-analyses to date have shown varying results. The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine moderating effects of a) study/trial quality, b) comprehensiveness of the CBT intervention, c) manualized vs. non manualized treatments, d) control group, e) chronicity of presentations of schizophrenia, and f) format of treatment. Method: A systematic search of the literature was conducted in PsychInfo, Scopus, Embase and Medline to identify randomized controlled trials reporting on the impact of CBT on positive, negative, global psychopathology and total symptoms and a random-effects meta-analysis was performed. Results: 23 studies including 2,639 participants published between 1990 and 2015 were identified. Small and largely non-significant effect sizes were found at post-treatment for total symptoms (g=0.19), negative symptoms (g= 0.12) and global psychopathology (g=0.12), with a significant but small effect size found for the reduction of positive symptoms (g=0.19). Moderators had little impact overall, with no consistent evidence of quality, comprehensiveness, manualisation, control group, stage of illness or format of treatment moderating effect size for any symptom type. The clinical implications for the use of CBT with this population are discussed.

description: From small-angle neutron scattering studies of the flux line lattice (FLL) in CeCoIn5, with magnetic field applied parallel to the crystal c-axis, we obtain the field- and temperature-dependence of the FLL form factor, which is a measure of the spatial variation of the field in the mixed state. We extend our earlier work [A.D. Bianchi et al. 2008 Science 319, 177] to temperatures up to 1250 mK. Over the entire temperature range, paramagnetism in the flux line cores results in an increase of the form factor with field. Near H_c2 the form factor decreases again, and our results indicate that this fall-off extends outside the proposed FFLO region. Instead, we attribute the decrease to a paramagnetic suppression of Cooper pairing. At higher temperatures, a gradual crossover towards more conventional mixed state behavior is observed.

description: We investigate the formation of fragments with strangeness degrees of freedom in proton- and heavy-ion-induced reactions at high relativistic energies. The model used is a combination of a dynamical transport model and a statistical approach of fragment formation. We discuss in detail the applicability and limitations of such a hybrid model by comparing data on spectator fragmentation at relativistic $SIS/GSI$-energies. The theoretical results are analyzed in terms of spectator fragmentation with strangeness degrees of freedom such as the production of single-$Λ-{}^{3,4,5}He$ hypernuclei. We provide theoretical estimates on the spectra and on inclusive cross sections of light hypernuclei, which could be helpful for future experiments on hypernuclear physics at the new GSI- and J-PARC-facilities.

description: A simple closed curve J is constructed in R³ which fails to pierce a disc at only one point. The intersections of various surfaces in R³ are investigated to prove that J has the desired property. Heavy use is made of approximation of surfaces in R³ with polyhedral surfaces. J is used to construct simple closed curves which fail to pierce discs at various finite and infinite sets of points. The most interesting of these is a simple closed curve which pierces a disc at one dense set of points while failing to pierce a disc at another dense set of points which has measure 0.

description: We establish a surprisingly close relationship between universal Horn classes of directed graphs and varieties generated by so-called adjacency semigroups which are Rees matrix semigroups over the trivial group with the unary operation of reversion. In particular, the lattice of subvarieties of the variety generated by adjacency semigroups that are regular unary semigroups is essentially the same as the lattice of universal Horn classes of reflexive directed graphs. A number of examples follow, including a limit variety of regular unary semigroups and finite unary semigroups with NP-hard variety membership problems.

Development of a quantitative technique to assay changes in markers of neural plasticity in response to intermittent theta burst stimulation
Creators: name: Fulopova, Barbora
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Delivery of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can modulate cortical excitability, and if delivered prior to motor training, it can facilitate performance. These effects suggest that iTBS can induce long term potentiation (LTP) like changes within the associated brain areas. However, currently there is a lack of physiological evidence for such processes. Evidence for molecular changes obtained using animal models of iTBS is inconclusive, and methodologically varied. In addition, the use of human sized coil in laboratory rodents further compromises translational merits of obtained findings. Present study is conducted as part of a larger project that uses translational approach to study neurophysiological mechanisms of iTBS in rodents with species specific stimulation coil. Using immunohistochemical analysis of mouse brain sections, changes in presynaptic LTP marker Synaptophysin were investigated in eight animals that demonstrated increased forelimb reaching accuracy over 10 days in a skilled-motor-task after receiving iTBS. Changes in expression of Synaptophysin were compared between three groups (iTBS, sham, handling control), within three brain regions (primary motor cortex, dorsal striatum, piriform cortex). In all three regions, there were no significant differences found between the three groups, suggesting that after 10 days of training, homeostatic process of synaptic scaling may have taken place.

description: Secluded dark matter models, in which WIMPs annihilate first into metastable mediators, can present novel indirect detection signatures in the form of gamma rays and fluxes of charged particles arriving from directions correlated with the centers of large astrophysical bodies within the solar system, such as the Sun and larger planets. This naturally occurs if the mean free path of the mediator is in excess of the solar (or planetary) radius. We show that existing constraints from water Cerenkov detectors already provide a novel probe of the parameter space of these models, complementary to other sources, with significant scope for future improvement from high angular resolution gamma-ray telescopes such as Fermi-LAT. Fluxes of charged particles produced in mediator decays are also capable of contributing a significant solar system component to the spectrum of energetic electrons and positrons, a possibility which can be tested with the directional and timing information of PAMELA and Fermi.

description: The main purpose of this exposition is to explore the relations between the notions of covariant derivative, connection, and spray. We begin by introducing the basic definitions and then use a method of Gromoll, Klingenberg and Meyer to show that covariant derivatives and connections on vector bundles are in a natural one-to-one correspondence. We conclude by showing that on the tangent bundle of a manifold, sprays and "symmetric" connections are in a natural one-to-one correspondence. Although we use a different method, this re-establishes a result of Ambrose, Palais, and Singer.

In search of isomorphism: An analysis of the homepages of flagship universities
Creators: name: Queenie, K.H.

Subjects: Flagship universities, website, communication, global rankings, isomorphism, visual, identity

description: Flagship universities are expected to assume a national mission of increasing a country’s appeal in the competitive global higher education system, an imaged space often visualized through world university rankings. Based on a comparative analysis of 58 top universities from 39 different countries ranked by the Academic Ranking of World Universities in 2009, this paper contributes to, first, to the discussion of a potential global communication model adopted by universities competing internationally with empirical input, and, second, to the development a mixed conceptual framework, built around the clarified concept of isomorphism, for explaining the similarities and differences of the self-representation of such universities. The comparative analysis shows that there remained sufficient differences in the representation of flagship universities despite a common trend for them to switch from text-based to image-based websites. The much-feared homogenizing impact of world university rankings were mitigated by other contextual factors and the time needed in the process of emulation. When more universities adopted new websites with dominant images, the top university on the ranking, supposedly the target of emulation, went against the trend to adopt a new form of text-based website that integrated its social media presence. The study, therefore, concludes that regardless of the existence of a global communication model or not, flagship universities are restrained by contending isomorphic forces that keep them different from their global peers, intended or not.

description: We present the results of a search for brown dwarfs (BDs) and very low mass (VLM) stars in the 625 Myr-old, metal-rich ([Fe/H]=0.14) Hyades cluster. We performed a deep (I=23, z=22.5) photometric survey over 16 deg$^2$ around the cluster center. We report the discovery of the first 2 BDs in the Hyades cluster, with a spectral type T1 and T2, respectively. Their optical and near-IR photometry, as well as their proper motion, are consistent with them being cluster members. According to models, their mass is about 50 Jupiter masses at an age of 625 Myr. We also report the discovery of 3 new very low mass stellar members and confirm the membership of 15 others.
Lattice gauge theory in technicolor

description: The methods of lattice gauge theory may be applied to gauge theories besides QCD, in fact to any gauge group and any representation of matter fields (as long as the coupling is not chiral). Such theories are useful for model building beyond the Standard Model, for instance in technicolor models. We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations of the SU(3) gauge theory with color sextet fermions. Our result for its discrete beta function indicate an infrared fixed point that makes the theory conformal rather than confining. The lattice theory's phase diagram shows no separation of chiral and confinement scales, measured when the quark mass is nonzero.

description: The blackbody radiation (BBR) shift of the 5s - 4d_{5/2} clock transition in 88Sr+ is calculated to be 0.250(9) Hz at room temperature, T=300K, using the relativistic all-order method where all single and double excitations of the Dirac-Fock wave function are included to all orders of perturbation theory. The BBR shift is a major component in the uncertainty budget of the optical frequency standard based on the 88Sr+ trapped ion. The scalar polarizabilities of the 5s and 4d_{5/2} levels, as well as the tensor polarizability of the 4d_{5/2} level, are presented together with the evaluation of their uncertainties. The lifetimes of the 4d_{3/2}, 4d_{5/2}, 5p_{1/2}, and 5p_{3/2} states are calculated and compared with experimental values.

description: We study the energetic aspects of hybrid pressure-gravity modes pulsations. The case of hybrid beta Cephei-SPB pulsators is considered with special attention. In addition to the already known sensitivity of the driving mechanism to the heavy elements mixture (mainly the iron abundance), we show that the characteristics of the propagation and evanescent regions play also a major role, determining the extension of the stable gap in the frequency domain between the unstable low order pressure and high order gravity modes. Finally, we consider the case of hybrid delta Sct-gamma Dor pulsators.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: A country elevator is a marketing facility located in a grain producing area to receive, safely store, and ship grain to terminal elevators, mills, and other processing plants. Grain is weighed, sampled, and tested on receipt. It may be dried or cleaned before it is put into storage. While in storage, the grain may be turned or aerated and fumigated to help maintain its quality. Grain is usually shipped by rail but sometimes by barge or tractor-trailer truck.
Cooperative localization-delocalization in the high Tc cuprates

description: The intrinsic metastable crystal structure of the cuprates results in local dynamical lattice instabilities, strongly coupled to the density fluctuations of the charge carriers. They acquire in this way simultaneously both, delocalized and localized features. It is responsible for a partial fractioning of the Fermi surface, i.e., the Fermi surface gets hidden in a region around the anti-nodal points, because of the opening of a pseudogap in the normal state, arising from a partial charge localization. The high energy localized single-particle features are a result of a segregation of the homogeneous crystal structure into checker-board local nano-size structures, which breaks the local translational and rotational symmetry. The pairing in such a system is dynamical rather than static, whereby charge carriers get momentarily trapped into pairs in a deformable dynamically fluctuating ligand environment. We conclude that the intrinsically heterogeneous structure of the cuprates must play an important role in this type of superconductivity.

Thus far, tennis is played with the assistance of ball attendants or personal effortsin returning balls to hand. Yet this method is either expensive or inefficient in terms of time and energy, a leading factor in Tennis having one of the highest playing downtime among other sports. Tennis is split into playing and returning the ball back after a point. Previous efforts have been made in modernizing tennis by implementing Tennis robots that picks the balls up, making use of spatial recognition and AI to recognize tennis balls. However, they face limited functionality in matches due to ability to only collect and hindering of playing area. In this work, we present a robotic solution to automate the ball collection and delivery to the players on court based on an AI-enabled ball launcher that is capable of tracking and locking to the player, as well as, tossing the ball on demand via body gesture recognition. The system includes a set of nets, ball channels and a ball lift to enable a fully automated ball reloading to the robotic ball launcher. For the base pose detection, we utilize Mediapipe framework and added another layer of feature extraction algorithm which are used to train an XGBoost model to protect the system against false tracking and locking of the designated player, especially in the case of doubles game, and false recognition of gestures.
On the admissibility of scale and quantile estimators
Creators: name: Brewster, John Frederick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The inadmissibility of the best affine-invariant estimators for the variance and noncentral quantiles of the normal law, when loss is squared error, has already been established. However, the proposed (minimax) alternatives to the usual (minimax, but inadmissible) estimators are themselves inadmissible. In our search for admissible alternatives in these problems, we first consider estimators which are formal Bayes within the class of scale-invariant procedures. For such estimators, we present explicit conditions for admissibility within the class of scale-invariant procedures. In the second chapter of the thesis, we consider the estimation of an arbitrary power of the scale parameter of a normal population. Under the assumption that the loss function satisfies certain reasonable conditions, an estimator is constructed which is (i) minimax, and (ii) formal Bayes within the class of scale-invariant procedures. The estimator obtained is a limit of a sequence of minimax, preliminary test estimators. Moreover, under squared error loss, and using the results of Chapter One, this estimator is shown to be scale-admissible. More generally, results are obtained for the estimation of powers of the scale parameter in the canonical form of the general linear model, and for the estimation of powers of the scale parameter of an exponential distribution with unknown location. In Chapter Three, conditions are given for the minimaxity of best invariant procedures in general location-scale problems. Finally, by combining these results with those of the preceding chapter, the usual interval estimators for the variance of a normal population are shown to be minimax, but inadmissible. Superior, minimax procedures are suggested.

description: This paper critically reviews the entropy model proposed by Adam and Gibbs in 1965 for explaining the dramatic temperature dependence of glass-forming liquids' average relaxation time, one of the most influential models during the last three decades. We discuss the Adam-Gibbs model's theoretical bases as well as the reported experimental model confirmations; in the process of doing this a number of problems with the model are identified.
