description: We present Reverberation Mapping (RM) results for 17 high-redshift, high-luminosity quasars with good quality R-band and emission line light curves. We are able to measure statistically significant lags for Ly_alpha (11 objects), SiIV (5 objects), CIV (11 objects), and CIII] (2 objects). Using our results and previous lag determinations taken from the literature, we present an updated CIV radius--luminosity relation and provide for the first time radius--luminosity relations for Ly_alpha, SiIV and CIII]. While in all cases the slope of the correlations are statistically significant, the zero points are poorly constrained because of the lack of data at the low luminosity end. We find that the emissivity weighted distance from the central source of the Ly_alpha, SiIV and CIII] line emitting regions are all similar, which corresponds to about half that of the H_beta region. We also find that 3/17 of our sources show an unexpected behavior in some emission lines, two in the Ly_alpha light curve and one in the SiIV light curve, in that they do not seem to follow the variability of the UV continuum. Finally, we compute RM black hole masses for those quasars with highly significant lag measurements and compare them with CIV single--epoch (SE) mass determinations. We find that the RM-based black hole mass determinations seem smaller than those found using SE calibrations.

description: Quantum error-correcting codes are constructed that embed a finite-dimensional code space in the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of a system described by continuous quantum variables. These codes exploit the noncommutative geometry of phase space to protect against errors that shift the values of the canonical variables q and p. In the setting of quantum optics, fault-tolerant universal quantum computation can be executed on the protected code subspace using linear optical operations, squeezing, homodyne detection, and photon counting; however, nonlinear mode coupling is required for the preparation of the encoded states. Finite-dimensional versions of these codes can be constructed that protect encoded quantum information against shifts in the amplitude or phase of a d-state system. Continuous-variable codes can be invoked to establish lower bounds on the quantum capacity of Gaussian quantum channels.

description: Recently, it has been claimed that the recurrent nova T Pyx exhibits oppositely directed jets of ejecta apparent in features seen in H alpha emission. Here we demonstrate that these features are in fact emission in the [N II] lines which lie either side of H alpha and arise from the expanding shell associated with this object rather than from collimated jets. We estimate an expansion velocity along a line of sight through the centre of the shell of about 500 km/s.

Classical Versus Quantum Symmetries for Toda Theories with a Nontrivial Boundary Perturbation

description: In this paper we present a detailed study of the quantum conservation laws for Toda field theories defined on the half plane in the presence of a boundary perturbation. We show that total derivative terms added to the currents, while irrelevant at the classical level, become important at the quantum level and in general modify significantly the quantum boundary conservation. We consider the first nontrivial higher--spin currents for the simply laced $a^{(1)}_n $ Toda theories: we find that the spin--three current leads to a quantum conserved charge only if the boundary potential is appropriately redefined through a finite renormalization. Contrary to the expectation we demonstrate instead that at spin four the classical symmetry does not survive quantization and we suspect that this feature will persist at higher--spin levels. Finally we examine the first nontrivial conservations at spin four for the $d^{(2)}_3$ and $c^{(1)}_2$ nonsimply laced Toda theories. In these cases the addition of total derivative terms to the bulk currents is necessary but sufficient to ensure the existence of corresponding quantum exact conserved charges.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998

description: The evolution of the galaxy cluster abundance depends sensitively on the value of the cosmological density parameter, Omega_0. Recent ASCA data are used to quantify this evolution as measured by the X-ray temperature function. A chi^2 minimisation fit to the cumulative temperature function, as well as a maximum likelihood estimate (which requires additional assumptions about cluster luminosities), lead to the estimate Omega_0 \approx 0.45+/-0.2 (1-sigma statistical error). Various systematic uncertainties are considered, none of which enhance significantly the probability that Omega_0=1. These conclusions hold for models with or without a cosmological constant. The statistical uncertainties are at least as large as the individual systematic errors that have been considered here, suggesting that additional temperature measurements of distant clusters will allow an improvement in this estimate. An alternative method that uses the highest redshift clusters to place an upper limit on Omega_0 is also presented and tentatively applied, with the result that Omega_0=1 can be ruled out at the 98 per cent confidence level. Whilst this method does not require a well-defined statistical sample of distant clusters, there are still modelling uncertainties that preclude a firmer conclusion at this time.

title: Contested meanings of the Deptford Creekside Arches [DCA] urban art palimpsest
Creators: name: Walsh, Peter
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: The research's purpose was to gain insight into the processes and practices of urban art at Deptford Creekside Arches (DCA). There has, to my knowledge, been no other research completed on this topic. My aims and objectives were based on discovering the artists motivations and intentions on getting the urban art 'up' at DCA. I employed mixed research methods, consecutively; including a spontaneous telephone interview and a structured, remote interview for two professional and academic artists, a spontaneous wall interview with a single painter, an observation of a small group and a semi-structured interview with a lone urban artist, a formally structured public on-site public interview (with thirty-eight participants), an e-mailed questionnaire with one other public interviewee and a structured remote interview with the British Transport Police (involving two officers). The results revealed that the urban art walls; are tolerated and that the activity is more meaningful than the art itself, with the walls a focal point of interest for walkway users. The authorities were generally benign and understanding, only removing images if controversial, or offensive, in terms of messaging with urban art activity tolerated. The main take-home message is the meaning of the urban art movement. Additional findings of note are the use of the walls as a designated, practice palette. The main implication for the future: is the potential for increasingly draconian and punitive approaches by the authorities from a legal enforcement perspective.

Climate variation, plant productivity, herbivore performance and population dynamics
Creators: name: Bento, Ana Isabel Ramos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Prediction is one of the hardest things in ecological science. Predicting the weather is one of the hardest things of all. This is what makes predicting the ecological consequences of climate change so exceptionally demanding. As a first step, we would like to understand the effects of weather variation on the behaviour of those ecological systems for which we have the best long-term data. The Park Grass Experiment at Rothamsted allows us to model the effects of the timing of rainfall and the accumulation of day-degrees in spring on primary productivity in an ungrazed grassland. I use the insights gained from this model to interpret the effects of weather variation in two classic long-term studies of plant-herbivore interactions: the Red Deer on Rum and the Soay Sheep on St Kilda. In both cases, direct effects of extreme weather on animal populations (“killing weather”) turn out to be much less important than weather-driven changes in plant production. Because most of the important effects of weather on animal population dynamics act via changes in food availability, it is the interaction between weather and population density that matters more than anything else, rather that weather effects alone. The same weather that would lead to mass starvation at high population densities, might have no measurable impact on animal performance when numbers were low. The analysis is focused on the following questions: which weather variables are most important; when do they have their most important effects; what effect sizes do they generate; and what is the shape of the relationship between the weather variable and the ecological response variable? The answers to these questions will help to guide subsequent analyses of demography and genetics on these two Hebridean Island systems.

A presentation is given of the free field realization relevant to SL(2) WZW theories with a Hilbert space based on admissible representations. It is known that this implies the presence of two screening charges, one involving a fractional power of a free field. We develop the use of fractional calculus for treating in general such cases. We derive explicit integral representations of $N$-point conformal blocks. We show that they satisfy the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations and we prove how they are related to minimal conformal blocks via a formulation of hamiltonian reduction advocated by Furlan, Ganchev, Paunov and Petkova.

Electronic and optical properties of core-shell InAlN nanorods: a comparative study via LDA, LDA-1/2, mBJ and $G_0W_0$ methods

description: Currently, self-induced InAlN core-shell nanorods enjoy an advanced stage of accumulation of experimental data from their growth and characterization as well as a comprehensive understanding of their formation mechanism by the ab initio modeling based on Synthetic Growth Concept. However, their electronic and optical properties, on which most of their foreseen applications are expected to depend, have not been investigated comprehensively. $G_0W_0$ is currently regarded as a gold-standard methodology with quasi-particle corrections to calculate electronic properties of materials in general. It is also the starting point for higher-order methods that study excitonic effects, such as those based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation. One major drawback of $G_0W_0$, however, is its computational cost, much higher than density-functional theory (DFT). Therefore, in many applications, it is highly desirable to answer the question of how well approaches based on DFT, such as e. g. LDA, LDA-1/2, and mBJ, can approximately reproduce $G_0W_0$ results with respect to the electronic and optical properties. Thus, the purpose of the present paper is to investigate how the DFT-based methodologies LDA, LDA-1/2, and mBJ can be used as tools to approximate $G_0W_0$ in studies of the electronic and optical properties of scaled down models of core-shell InAlN nanorods. For these systems, we observed that band gaps, density of states, dielectric functions, refractive indexes, absorption and reflectance coefficients are reasonably well described by LDA-1/2 and mBJ when compared to $G_0W_0$, however, at a much more favorable computational cost.

description: The complete set of data from the Tenerife 10 GHz (8 degree FWHM) twin-horn, drift scan experiment is described. These data are affected by both long-term atmospheric baseline drifts and short term noise. A new maximum entropy procedure, utilising the time invariance and spatial continuity of the astronomical signal, is used to achieve a clean separation of these effects from the astronomical signal, and to deconvolve the effects of the beam-switching. We use a fully positive/negative algorithm to produce two-dimensional maps of the intrinsic sky fluctuations. Known discrete sources and Galactic features are identified in the deconvolved map. The data from the 10 GHz experiment, after baseline subtraction with MEM, is then analysed using conventional techniques and new constraints on Galactic emission are made.

description: Recent years have witnessed a rise in the frequency and intensity of cyberattacks targeted at critical infrastructure systems. This study designs a versatile, data-driven cyberattack detection platform for infrastructure systems cybersecurity, with a special demonstration in water sector. A deep generative model with variational inference autonomously learns normal system behavior and detects attacks as they occur. The model can process the natural data in its raw form and automatically discover and learn its representations, hence augmenting system knowledge discovery and reducing the need for laborious human engineering and domain expertise. The proposed model is applied to a simulated cyberattack detection problem involving a drinking water distribution system subject to programmable logic controller hacks, malicious actuator activation, and deception attacks. The model is only provided with observations of the system, such as pump pressure and tank water level reads, and is blind to the internal structures and workings of the water distribution system. The simulated attacks are manifested in the model's generated reproduction probability plot, indicating its ability to discern the attacks. There is, however, need for improvements in reducing false alarms, especially by optimizing detection thresholds. Altogether, the results indicate ability of the model in distinguishing attacks and their repercussions from normal system operation in water distribution systems, and the promise it holds for cyberattack detection in other domains.

description: We consider phase-biased Josephson junctions with spin-orbit coupling under external magnetic fields and study the emergence of the Josephson diode effect in the presence of Majorana bound states. We show that junctions having middle regions with Zeeman fields along the spin-orbit axis develop a low-energy Andreev spectrum that is asymmetric with respect to the superconducting phase difference $ϕ=π$, which is strongly influenced by Majorana bound states in the topological phase. This asymmetric Andreev spectrum gives rise to anomalous current-phase curves and critical currents that are different for positive and negative supercurrents, thus signaling the emergence of the Josephson diode effect. While this effect exists even in the trivial phase, it gets enhanced in the topological phase due to the spatial nonlocality of Majorana bound states. Our work thus establishes the utilization of topological superconductivity for enhancing the functionalities of Josephson diodes.

The role of dual specificity phosphatase 1 in the anti-inflammatory effects of the glucocorticoid receptor
Creators: name: Joanny, Marie‐Eugénie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used for decades in the treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, thanks to their powerful anti‐inflammatory properties. However, long term treatment can lead to deleterious side effects, and some patients also experience resistance to their therapeutic effects. GCs act through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to regulate transcription both positively and negatively. Negative regulation of transcription involves a process known as transrepression, in which ligand‐activated GR impairs transcriptional activation by nuclear factor κB (NF‐κB) and other transcription factors. It is widely believed that transrepression accounts for most of the anti‐inflammatory effects of GCs, whereas the activation of transcription (transactivation) is responsible for most side effects of GCs. Based on this principle, several pharmaceutical companies are trying to identify selective GR modulators (SGRMs) that preferentially induce transrepression rather than transactivation. Such compounds are predicted to retain the anti‐inflammatory properties of classical GCs but cause fewer side effects. There are several problems with a dogma that equates anti‐inflammatory effects of GR with transcriptional repression. One is that GCs have long been known to destabilise many pro-inflammatory mRNAs, and this property is not explained by the transrepression model. Another issue is that GCs induce the expression of many factors with powerful anti-inflammatory effects. One of these is dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), an enzyme that dephosphorylates and inactivates mitogen‐activated protein kinases. Studies of the Dusp1‐/‐ mouse have underlined the importance of the phosphatase in the antiinflammatory response to GCs. In this work, I investigated the role of DUSP1 in (1) the post‐transcriptional regulation of pro‐inflammatory mRNA stability by GCs and (2) the anti‐inflammatory actions of SGRMs. 1‐ The classical dexamethasone (dex) was shown to upregulate DUSP1 in mouse macrophages, and to inhibit the expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX‐2) in a manner that was partially dependent on DUSP1. Dex destabilised COX‐2 and interleukin 1α mRNAs, and this post‐transcriptional effect appeared to require DUSP1. 2‐ Two SGRMs were characterised and shown to preferentially mediate transrepression rather than transactivation. However, they were capable of inducing the expression of DUSP1 in several different cellular systems, and their capacity to inhibit the expression of COX‐2 was correlated with DUSP1 induction. Finally, several of the anti‐inflammatory effects of the SGRMs were found significantly impaired in mouse macrophages lacking DUSP1.

titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Birkett, Steven
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the critical role of local government in the
 development and transformation of Lancashire’s major seaside resorts:
 Blackpool, Morecambe and Heysham, and Lytham St Annes. Through a detailed
 historical analysis, spanning from the early twentieth century to the
 present, it investigates how local authorities have navigated shifting
 political structures and evolving tourist markets, helping to shape the
 fortunes of these coastal destinations. The research contributes to the
 understanding of English seaside resort evolution by focusing on
 localised, place-specific factors, particularly the decision-making
 processes within local governments. Utilising a comparative approach, this
 thesis analyses the pivotal transitions in governance, especially
 post-1974, where increased centralisation altered the dynamics of local
 decision-making. It delineates how these shifts impacted the resorts'
 ability to adapt to changing tourism demands and socio-economic
 pressures.A key finding of this research is the demonstration of the
 long-term implications of local government actions on resort towns. It
 highlights that effective local governance, characterised by proactive,
 innovative strategies and strong public-private partnerships, can
 significantly influence the resilience and regeneration of tourist
 destinations. Conversely, inconsistent or ineffective local governance can
 lead to stagnation and decline, as illustrated in the varied experiences
 of the studied resorts. The thesis also addresses a notable gap in
 historiography by providing an in-depth exploration of the post-1974
 period, a less examined era in the context of seaside resort development
 in the UK. In doing so, it offers new insights into the complexities of
 governance and its direct impact on local economies and cultural
 landscapes.This thesis draws upon a wide range of archival materials from
 across Lancashire, as well as utilising various digital collections. By
 combining historical survey data, policy analysis, and contemporary
 observations in both local and national media, this study not only adds
 depth to scholarly discussions in history, tourism studies, and public
 policy, but also offers insights for present and future urban and tourism
 planning. It highlights the crucial importance of local autonomy and
 community involvement in the preservation and regeneration of seaside
 resorts, underscoring the impact of localised decision-making on creating
 thriving and sustainable tourist destinations.
Search for a singly produced third-generation scalar leptoquark decaying to a $τ$ lepton and a bottom quark in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: A search is presented for a singly produced third-generation scalar leptoquark decaying to a $τ$ lepton and a bottom quark. Associated production of a leptoquark and a $τ$ lepton is considered, leading to a final state with a bottom quark and two $τ$ leptons. The search uses proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on the production cross section of the third-generation scalar leptoquarks as a function of their mass. From a comparison of the results with the theoretical predictions, a third-generation scalar leptoquark decaying to a $τ$ lepton and a bottom quark, assuming unit Yukawa coupling ($λ$), is excluded for masses below 740 GeV. Limits are also set on $λ$ of the hypothesized leptoquark as a function of its mass. Above $λ=$ 1.4, this result provides the best upper limit on the mass of a third-generation scalar leptoquark decaying to a $τ$ lepton and a bottom quark.

description: We continue the study of symmetries in the Lagrangian formalism of arbitrary order with the help of the so-called Anderson-Duchamp-Krupka equations. For the case of second-order equations and arbitrary vector fields we are able to establish a polynomial structure in the second-order derivatives. This structure is based on the some linear combinations of Olver hyper-Jacobians. We use as the main tools Fock space techniques and induction. This structure can be used to analyze Lagrangian systems with groups of Noetherian symmetries. As an illustration we analyze the case of Lagrangian equations with Abelian gauge invariance.

Numerical Study of Gluon Propagator and Confinement Scenario in Minimal Coulomb Gauge

description: We present numerical results in SU(2) lattice gauge theory for the space-space and time-time components of the gluon propagator at equal time in the minimal Coulomb gauge. It is found that the equal-time would-be physical 3-dimensionally transverse gluon propagator $D^{tr}(\vec{k})$ vanishes at $\vec{k} = 0$ when extrapolated to infinite lattice volume, whereas the instantaneous color-Coulomb potential $D_{44}(\vec{k})$ is strongly enhanced at $\vec{k} = 0$. This has a natural interpretation in a confinement scenario in which the would-be physical gluons leave the physical spectrum while the long-range Coulomb force confines color. Gribov's formula $D^{tr}(\vec{k}) = (|\vec{k}|/2)[(\vec{k}^2)^2 + M^4]^{1/2}$ provides an excellent fit to our data for the 3-dimensionally transverse equal-time gluon propagator $D^{tr}(\vec{k})$ for relevant values of $\vec{k}$.

Fuzzy bi-Gödel modal logic and its paraconsistent relatives

description: We present the axiomatisation of the fuzzy bi-Gödel modal logic (formulated in the language containing $\triangle$ and treating the coimplication as a defined connective) and establish its PSpace-completeness. We also consider its paraconsistent relatives defined on fuzzy frames with two valuations $e_1$ and $e_2$ standing for the support of truth and falsity, respectively, and equipped with \emph{two fuzzy relations} $R^+$ and $R^-$ used to determine supports of truth and falsity of modal formulas. We establish embeddings of these paraconsistent logics into the fuzzy bi-Gödel modal logic and use them to prove their PSpace-completeness and obtain the characterisation of definable frames.
Rotating Wave Solutions to Lattice Dynamical Systems II: Persistence Results

description: This work comes as the second part in a series of investigations into the dynamics of rotating waves as solutions to lattice dynamical systems. Such nonlinear waves as solutions to mathematical equations are of great interest throughout the physical sciences due to their association with many electrophysiological pathologies and this investigation aims to further the understanding of rotating waves from a mathematical perspective. Here we focus on so-called Lambda-Omega differential equations, a well-studied generalization of the celebrated Ginzburg-Landau equation, to show that there exists an interval of sufficiently small coupling values for which a rotating wave solution persists. This result is achieved using a wide range of functional analytic tools, primarily in an effort to apply a non-standard Implicit Function Theorem. This work initiates subsequent studies into the dynamics and bifurcations of rotating waves away from the reaction-diffusion equation setting to differential equations for which traditional symmetry based centre manifold reductions cannot be applied.
Land–Boundary Layer–Sea Interactions in the Middle East
Creators: name: Giannakopoulou, Evangelia Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Understanding the land–boundary layer–sea interactions is a primary target both in the context of low-level jet (LLJ) development and landscape alterations. This thesis attempts to address and study these interactions in the Middle East. The thesis investigates the summertime LLJ over the Persian Gulf, known as the Shamal. Terrain height, land-sea and novel mountain slope sensitivity experiments were conducted and compared with a control run. It was found that the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model accurately simulates the LLJ’s vertical structure, nocturnal features and strong diurnal oscillation of the wind, and that orography, mountain slope and land/sea breezes determine the Shamal diurnal variation of wind speed and wind direction. The Iranian mountain range not only channels the northwesterly winds but also provides a barrier for the easterly monsoon airflow. The steep slopes cause increased wind speeds; however, the shallow slopes reveal a stronger diurnally varying wind direction due to larger diurnal heating of the sloping terrain. The land breeze and the lower friction over the sea increase the intensity of the nocturnal jet over the Gulf. To determine the effects of the Nile Delta man-induced greening on local climate, the WRF model was used to compare control simulations, which employ the present-day Nile Delta landscape, with desertification experiments in which the Nile Delta is replaced by desert. It was found that the low surface albedo of the present-day agricultural Nile Delta increases net radiation, which in turn raises potential evapotranspiration (PET). This suggests that agricultural use increases the water demand by enhancing PET. Non-local effects were also examined. It was found that a frontal system over the eastern Mediterranean Sea, associated with a storm event, is shifted farther away from the coast. This shift is attributed to a stronger land breeze in the present-day land-cover.
Supersymmetric Black Holes in $N=8$ Supergravity

description: We study the embedding of extreme (multi-) dilaton black hole solutions for the values of the parameter $a=\sqrt{3},1,1/\sqrt{3},0$ in $N=4$ and $N=8$ four-dimensional supergravity. For each black hole solution we find different embeddings in $N=4$ supergravity which have different numbers of unbroken supersymmetries. When embedded in $N=8$ supergravity, all different embeddings of the same solution have the same number of unbroken supersymmetries. Thus, there is a relation between the value of the parameter $a$ and the number of unbroken supersymmetries in $N=8$ supergravity, but not in $N=4$, and the different embeddings must be related by dualities of the $N=8$ theory which are not dualities of the $N=4$ theory. The only exception in this scheme is a {\it dyonic} embedding of the $a=0$ black-hole solution which seems to break all supersymmetries both in the $N=4$ and in the $N=8$ theories.

Recent advances in classical electromagnetic theory
Creators: name: Favaro, Alberto
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The early Sections of the present Thesis utilise a metric-free and connection-free approach so as derive the foundations of classical electrodynamics. More specifically, following a tradition established by Kottler [65], Cartan [14] and van Dantzig [137], Maxwell's theory is introduced without making reference to a notion of distance or parallel transport. With very few exceptions, the relevant concepts are derived from first principles. Indeed, Maxwell's theory is constructed starting from three experimentally justified axioms: (i) electric charge is conserved, (ii) the force acting on a test charge due to the electromagnetic field is the standard Lorentz one, (iii) magnetic flux is conserved. To be precise, a strictly deductive approach requires that three further postulates are introduced, as explained in the manual [41] by Hehl and Obukhov. Nevertheless, a shortened formalism is observed to be adequate for the purpose of this work. In nearly all cases, the electromagnetic medium is demanded to be local and linear. Moreover, the propagation of light is studied in the approximate geometrical optics regime. Lindell's astute derivation of the dispersion equation [80] is reformulated in the widespread mathematical language of tensor indices. The method devised in Ref. [80] is integrated with the analysis due to Dahl [16] of the space encompassing the physically viable polarisations. As a result, the geometry associated with the dispersion equation is investigated with considerable rigour. From the literature it is known that, to a great extent, the notion of distance can be viewed as a by-product of Maxwell's theory. In fact, imposing that the constitutive law is electric-magnetic reciprocal and skewon-free determines, albeit non-uniquely, a Lorentzian metric. A novel proof of this statement is examined. In addition, the unimodular forerunner of electric-magnetic reciprocity, defined in earlier works by Lindell [79] and Perlick [112], is shown to preserve the energy-momentum tensor.
