When Humor Backfires: The Impact of Expectancy Violations in Human-Computer Interaction
Creators: name: Rose, Stefan
name: Raff, Stefan
Year: 2024

description: Humor in human-computer interaction (HCI) can enhance user engagement but also lead to negative experiences if misaligned with user expectations. This study investigates how different humor types (affiliative and aggressive), interact with the functional context of technological artifacts (e.g., entertainment vs. security devices) to influence user trust and usage intentions. Drawing on Expectancy Violation Theory (EVT), two experiments demonstrate that humor types mismatched with the device’s perceived role elicit negative expectancy violations, reducing both human-like and system-like trust, as well as user intention. Findings suggest that the effective integration of humor in HCI should consider the artifact’s function to prevent adverse effects on user perceptions and interactions. These insights are critical for designing user-centric technologies that incorporate humor without compromising user trust and engagement.

description: Aspects of three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories with monopole superpotentials and their dualities are investigated. The moduli spaces of a number of such theories are studied using Hilbert series. Moreover, we propose new dualities involving quadratic powers for the monopole superpotentials, for unitary, symplectic and orthogonal gauge groups. These dualities are then tested using the three sphere partition function and matching of the Hilbert series. We also provide an argument for the obstruction to the duality for theories with quartic monopole superpotentials.

description: We construct explicit lowest-Landau-level wave functions for the composite-fermion Fermi sea and its low energy excitations following a recently developed approach [Pu, Wu and Jain, Phys. Rev. B 96, 195302 (2018)] and demonstrate them to be very accurate representations of the Coulomb eigenstates. We further ask how the Berry phase associated with a closed loop around the Fermi circle, predicted to be $π$ in a Dirac composite fermion theory satisfying particle-hole symmetry [D. T. Son, Phys. Rev. X 5, 031027 (2015)], is affected by Landau level mixing. For this purpose, we consider a simple model wherein we determine the variational ground state as a function of Landau level mixing within the space spanned by two basis functions: the lowest-Landau-level projected and the unprojected composite-fermion Fermi sea wave functions. We evaluate Berry phase for a path around the Fermi circle within this model following a recent prescription, and find that it rotates rapidly as a function of Landau level mixing. We also consider the effect of a particle-hole symmetry breaking three-body interaction on the Berry phase while confining the Hilbert space to the lowest Landau level. Our study deepens the connection between the $π$ Berry phase and the exact particle-hole symmetry in the lowest Landau level.

Evolution of Clusters in Cold plus Hot Dark Matter Models

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use N-body simulations to study evolution of galaxy clusters over the redshift interval 0 <= z <= 0.5 in cosmological models with a mixture of cold and hot dark matter (CHDM). Four different techniques are utilized: the cluster-cluster correlation function, axial ratios and quadrupoles of the dark matter distribution in individual clusters, and virial properties. We find that the correlation function for clusters of the same mass limit was larger and steeper at high redshifts. The slope increases from 1.8 at z=0 to 2.1 at z=0.5. Comoving correlation length r_c scales with the mass limit M within comoving radius 1.5 h^-1 Mpc and the redshift z as r_c ~= 20(1+z)(M/M_*)^1/3, where M_* = 3*10^14 h^-1 M_sun. When the correlation length is normalized to the mean cluster separation d_c, it remains almost constant: r_c~=(0.45-0.5) d_c. For small masses (M_clust <2*10^14 h^-1 M_sun) there is an indication that r_c goes slightly above the relation with the constant of proportionality being ~= 0.55-0.6. Anisotropy of density distribution in a cluster shows no change over redshift with axial ratios remaining constant around 1.2. In other words, clusters at present are as elongated as they were at the epoch of their first appearance. While the anisotropy of clusters does not change with time, the density profile shows visible evolution: the slope of density profile changes from gamma ~= -3.5 at z=0.5 to gamma ~= -2.5 at the present. We find that the core of a cluster remains essentially the same over time, but the density of the outlying regions increases noticeably. The virial relation M ~ v^2 is a good approximation, but there is a large fraction of clusters with peculiar velocities greater than given by this relation, and clusters with the same rms velocities have smaller masses in the past, a factor of 2 at z=0.5.

description: Dank Schutzwäldern können technische Bauten vielerorts vermieden werden. Mit fortschreitendem Klimawandel ist es jedoch wahrscheinlich, dass ihre Schutzwirkung in gewissen Gebieten beeinträchtigt wird. «Hybride Ansätze», die Schutzwälder mit anderen Schutzmassnahmen kombinieren, können dann eine Möglichkeit sein, um das Schutzziel zu erreichen. In dieser Studie wur- de die ökonomische Effizienz eines hybriden Schutzsystem in Chillon (VD) untersucht. Es wurden künftige Waldszenarien hergeleitet und eine Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse basierend auf ihrer Risikoreduktion in Kombination mit technischen Bauten durchgeführt. Insbeson- dere unter starkem Klimawandel ist mit einer Abnahme der Schutzwirkung des Waldes zu rechnen, die von den technischen Bauten teil- weise kompensiert werden kann. Die zusätz- liche Risikoreduktion kann jedoch ihre hohen Investitionskosten nicht kompensieren. Wird die Risikoreduktion des Waldes mitberück- sichtigt, wird ein positiver Kapitalwert erreicht. Die Studie bestätigt die hohe Effizienz des Schutzwaldes und die Vorteile von hybriden im Gegensatz zu rein technischen Lösungen.
The biology of novel dual histone methyltransferase inhibitors
Creators: name: Green, Ian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Background: EZH2 is a histone methyltransferase (HKMT) responsible for the maintenance of epigenetic silencing of genes through maintenance of the repressive H3K27me3 mark and it is aberrantly regulated in numerous cancers, including breast cancer where it is linked to aggressive phenotypes and poor clinical outcomes. EHMT2 is a related HKMT responsible for gene silencing by mediating H3K9me3 levels. EHMT2 is also responsible for H3K27me1 and has been shown to physically interact with EZH2. Specific inhibitors of EZH2 are available and have been shown to be effective in cancers with EZH2 mutation driven phenotypes (e.g. follicular lymphoma) but have shown limited efficacy in epithelial cancers. Here we present the characterisation of novel dual HKMT inhibitors targeting both EZH2 and EHMT2, which we believe will have a greater impact than individual inhibitors in reversing EZH2 mediated silencing. Results: Utilising publicly available data, we show expression of EZH2 and related subunits of the PRC2 complex and related EHMT2/EHMT1 complex range greatly in normal tissue, but EZH2 and EHMT2 expression are consistently up-regulated in numerous cancers. We show that CNV and mutation of EZH2 and EHMT2 infrequently occur in breast cancer- however, in breast cancer high expression of EZH2 is linked to reduced RFS and OS of patients. In breast cancer cell lines, dual HKMT inhibitors up-regulate EZH2 target genes, in gene specific and genome wide manner, to a greater degree than EZH2 or EHMT2 inhibition alone and induce expression of genes associated with apoptotic pathways. This up-regulation of silenced genes occurs concurrently with a decrease in H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 levels on target genes. In breast cancer cells and ovarian cancer cells, dual HKMT inhibitors reduce cell clonogenicity, cancer stem cell activity, cancer stem cell self-renewal capacity, and sensitise cancer stem cells to Paclitaxel and Cisplatin treatment. Conclusions: Novel dual inhibitors of EZH2 and EHMT2 alter gene expression and inhibit cell growth and cancer stem cell activity in wild-type EZH2 tumour cells. These data support the further preclinical and clinical evaluation of such inhibitors in triple negative breast cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer.

description: Powerful constraints on theories can already be inferred from existing CMB anisotropy data. But performing an exact analysis of available data is a complicated task and may become prohibitively so for upcoming experiments with \gtrsim10^4 pixels. We present a method for approximating the likelihood that takes power spectrum constraints, e.g., ``band-powers'', as inputs. We identify a bias which results if one approximates the probability distribution of the band-power errors as Gaussian---as is the usual practice. This bias can be eliminated by using specific approximations to the non-Gaussian form for the distribution specified by three parameters (the maximum likelihood or mode, curvature or variance, and a third quantity). We advocate the calculation of this third quantity by experimenters, to be presented along with the maximum-likelihood band-power and variance. We use this non-Gaussian form to estimate the power spectrum of the CMB in eleven bands from multipole moment ell = 2 (the quadrupole) to ell=3000 from all published band-power data. We investigate the robustness of our power spectrum estimate to changes in these approximations as well as to selective editing of the data.

Tuning morphology of hybrid organic/metal sulfide solar cells
Creators: name: MacLachlan, Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis explores the influence that morphology plays in hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells. This is studied for a range of different materials systems. A series of cadmium xanthate complexes were synthesised, for use as in-situ precursors to CdS nanoparticles in hybrid poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl (P3HT)/CdS solar cells. The heterojunction morphology of these hybrid P3HT/CdS blends was found to be dependent on the ligand moiety of the precursor used. The formation of CdS domains was studied by time-resolved materials characterisation techniques and directly imaged using electron microscopy. A combination of transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) and photovoltaic device performance measurements was used to show the intricate balance required between charge photogeneration and having percolated domains in order to effectively extract charges to maximize device power conversion efficiencies. An analogous method was also applied to a P3HT/Sb_2 S_3 system. Following on from the previous work, a non-toxic alternative to CdS and Sb2S3 was explored. Bismuth xanthates were thermally decomposed to form hybrid polymer/Bi_2 S_3 heterojunctions with two distinctly different morphologies. The bismuth xanthates were found to form nanorods in-situ, within the solid-state polymer matrix, as well as mesostructured arrays of Bi_2 S_3 rods that were later infiltrated with a polymer, using a two-step method. TAS was used to study the charge generation yield in both these systems and hybrid photovoltaic devices were also fabricated. Finally, through a collaboration with The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), TAS was used to study two separate organic semiconductor/Bi_2 S_3 BHJs. The first of which was a P3HT/Bi_2 S_3 nanoparticle blend solar cell. The charge generation yield in this system was investigated and then compared to a novel thiol-functionalised P3HT based block copolymer (P3HT-SH). Secondly, TAS was used to obtain a better understanding of the charge transfer at several interfaces in a vertically structured Bi_2 S_3 nanorod array that was filled with 2,2',7,7'-Tetrakis-(N,N-di-4-methoxyphenylamino)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (SPIRO).

description: The problem of separation of variables (SoV) in supersymmetric spin chains is closely related to the calculation of correlation functions in N=4 SYM theory which is integrable in the planar limit. To address this question we find a compact formula for the spin chain eigenstates, which does not have any sums over auxiliary roots one usually gets in the widely adopted nested Bethe ansatz. Our construction only involves one application of a simple Bg(u_k) operator to the reference state for each of the magnons, in complete analogy with the su(2) algebraic Bethe ansatz. This generalizes our SoV based construction for su(n) to the supersymmetric su(1|2) case.

 7 July 2021

 Dr Chelsea Sanker
 Yale University Abstract: Because of restrictions on in-person research due to Covid-19, researchers are now relying on remotely recorded data to a much greater extent than has been typical in the past. Given the change in methodology, it is important to know how remote recording might affect acoustic measurements, either because of different recording devices used by participants and consultants recording themselves or because of video-conferencing software used to make interactive recordings. This study investigates audio signal fidelity across different in-person recording equipment and remote recording software when compared to a solid-state digital audio recording device. We show that the choice of equipment and software can have a large effect on acoustic measurements, including measurements of frequency, duration, and noise. The issues do not just reflect decreased reliability of measurements; some measurements are systematically shifted in particular recording conditions. These results show the importance of carefully considering and documenting equipment choices. In particular, any cross-linguistic or cross-speaker comparison needs to account for possible effects of differences in which devices or software platforms were used.

Metal loading of semiconductor on insulator architectures for nanoscale optoelectronic devices
Creators: name: Lafone, Lucas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The strong confinement provided by plasmonic resonances has extended optics down to the nanoscale, allowing an unprecedented control over the interaction between light and matter. This could have far reaching applications in the development of ultra-compact and novel op- toelectronic devices. However, for commercial implementation of these plasmonic devices to become a reality there needs to be a shift toward designs which are compatible with the materi- als and processes of the established semiconductor industry. This is the overarching aim of the work presented in this thesis; here plasmonic devices are developed around the semiconductor on insulator architecture using a simple monolithic fabrication processes. Two waveguides are proposed and analysed, both produced through a single lithography step where a metallic slot or strip is formed on top of an SOI wafer. This process circumvents the etch step required to produce the waveguides used in silicon photonics. Despite this exceptionally simple fabrication procedure the designs support bound modes with areas as small as λ20/1000. Importantly, the mode size can be controlled through the width of the slot or strip and though careful design this can be used to effectively nanofocus light from larger low loss modes down to the nanoscale. The slot design is demonstrated experimentally with widths as narrow as 10nm. Following this, a similar design is implemented as a plasmonic laser. Here the SOI wafer is swapped for a suspended membrane of GaAs to provide the necessary gain. Lasers with slot widths as small as 100nm are demonstrated experimentally. A final device design is also discussed, where a highly effective cavity is formed through an array of metal resonators coupled to a semiconductor slab. The devices demonstrated in this thesis aim to provide a platform that allows the unique capabilities of plasmonics to be easily integrated with existing technologies.

Using the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect to determine the peculiar velocities of clusters of galaxies
Creators: name: Haehnelt, Martin G.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have investigated the possibility of inferring peculiar velocities for clusters of galaxies from the Doppler shift of scattered cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons. We find that if the core radius of the gas distribution or the beam size of the instrument is larger than 3-7 arcminutes, then the maximum attainable signal-to-noise ratio is determined by confusion with primary fluctuations. For smaller angular scales, ``cosmic confusion'' is less important and instrumental noise and/or foreground emission will be the limiting factor. For a cluster with the optical depth of the Coma cluster and for an optimal filtering technique, typical one-sigma errors span the wide range from 400 to 1600 km/s, depending on the cosmological model, the resolution of the instrument and the core radius of the cluster. The results have important implications for the design of future high-resolution surveys of the CMB. Individual peculiar velocities will be measurable only for a few fast moving clusters at intermediate redshift unless cosmic fluctuations are smaller than most standard cosmological scenarios predict. However, a reliable measurement of bulk velocities of ensembles of X-ray bright clusters will be possible on very large scales (100-500 Mpc/h).

description: We explore conventional meson-hybrid mixing in $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ heavy quarkonium using QCD Laplace sum-rules. We calculate the cross-correlator between a heavy conventional meson current and heavy hybrid current within the operator product expansion, including terms proportional to the four- and six-dimensional gluon condensates and the six-dimensional quark condensate. Using experimentally determined hadron masses, we construct models of the $1^{++}$ charmonium and bottomonium mass spectra. These models are used to investigate which resonances couple to both currents and thus exhibit conventional meson-hybrid mixing. In the charmonium sector, we find almost no conventional meson-hybrid mixing in the $χ_{c1}(1P)$, minimal mixing in the $X(3872)$, and significant mixing in both the $X(4140)$ and $X(4274)$. In the bottomonium sector, we find minimal conventional meson-hybrid mixing in the $χ_{b1}(1P)$ and significant mixing in both the $χ_{b1}(2P)$ and $χ_{b1}(3P)$.

description: We discuss far-UV (1500 A) surface photometry and FUV-B color profiles for 8 E/S0 galaxies from images taken with the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope, primarily during the Astro-2 mission. In three cases, the FUV radial profiles are more consistent with an exponential than a de Vaucouleurs function, but there is no other evidence for the presence of a disk or of young, massive stars. In all cases except M32 the FUV-B color becomes redder at larger radii. There is a wide range of internal radial FUV-B color gradients. However, we find no correlation between the FUV-B color gradients and internal metallicity gradients based on Mg absorption features. We conclude that metallicity is not the sole parameter controlling the "UV upturn component" in old populations.

description: We review recent developments and results in testing general relativity (GR) at cosmological scales. The subject has witnessed rapid growth during the last two decades with the aim of addressing the question of cosmic acceleration and the dark energy associated with it. However, with the advent of precision cosmology, it has also become a well-motivated endeavor by itself to test gravitational physics at cosmic scales. We overview cosmological probes of gravity, formalisms and parameterizations for testing deviations from GR at cosmological scales, selected modified gravity (MG) theories, gravitational screening mechanisms, and computer codes developed for these tests. We then provide summaries of recent cosmological constraints on MG parameters and selected MG models. We supplement these cosmological constraints with a summary of implications from the recent binary neutron star merger event. Next, we summarize some results on MG parameter forecasts with and without astrophysical systematics that will dominate the uncertainties. The review aims at providing an overall picture of the subject and an entry point to students and researchers interested in joining the field. It can also serve as a quick reference to recent results and constraints on testing gravity at cosmological scales.

Local Lorentz invariance and a new theory of gravitation equivalent to General Relativity

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: A gauge theory of the Lorentz group with a mass-dimension one gauge field coupling to matter of any spin is developed. As a completely new feature the "Vierbein" assuring local gauge invariance enters not as an independent dynamical field, but emerges as a functional of the Lorentz gauge field. The underlying geometry of the theory turns out to be a $SO(1,3)$ Banach bundle. The most general action which is renormalizable by power-counting is constructed in terms of the gauge field and its first derivatives. It contains no higher derivative terms in the gauge field which destroy unitarity in the usual renormalizable $R^2$-theories of gravitation. Finally equivalence of the Lorentz gauge field theory coupled to spin zero matter with General Relativity is established

description: We present new formulas for $n$-particle tree-level scattering amplitudes of six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) and $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supergravity (SUGRA). They are written as integrals over the moduli space of certain rational maps localized on the $(n-3)!$ solutions of the scattering equations. Due to the properties of spinor-helicity variables in six dimensions, the even-$n$ and odd-$n$ formulas are quite different and have to be treated separately. We first propose a manifestly supersymmetric expression for the even-$n$ amplitudes of $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ SYM theory and perform various consistency checks. By considering soft-gluon limits of the even-$n$ amplitudes, we deduce the form of the rational maps and the integrand for $n$ odd. The odd-$n$ formulas obtained in this way have a new redundancy that is intertwined with the usual $\text{SL}(2, \mathbb{C})$ invariance on the Riemann sphere. We also propose an alternative form of the formulas, analogous to the Witten-RSV formulation, and explore its relationship with the symplectic (or Lagrangian) Grassmannian. Since the amplitudes are formulated in a way that manifests double-copy properties, formulas for the six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ SUGRA amplitudes follow. These six-dimensional results allow us to deduce new formulas for five-dimensional SYM and SUGRA amplitudes, as well as massive amplitudes of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM on the Coulomb branch.

Appearance-based methods for object recognition and visual localisation from hand-held and wearable cameras
Creators: name: Rivera Rubio, Jose
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Visual localisation and object recognition are key goals of artificial intelligence research that have been traditionally investigated separately. Appearance-based methods can be used to treat both problems from a common perspective. Therefore, the main purpose of this thesis is to explore appearance-based methods in the specific contexts of object recognition and visual localisation from wearable and hand-held devices. Specifically, the contributions of this thesis are as follows: The first topic of study was the object recognition of grocery products acquired with hand-held and wearable cameras, a use case of particular relevance for the blind and partially sighted people. The main contributions around this topic are a) the SHORT dataset, comprising 100 categories and more than 135,000 images between its training and query sets; and b) an open-source pipeline and complete evaluation of popular bag-of-visual-words (BoVW) techniques when tested against SHORT. The SHORT dataset is novel as it introduces a clear distinction between high quality training images and query images taken in the wild. This is an anticipated scenario in which retailers would acquire images for their online shopping brochures and users would submit images of unpredictable quality for recognition. The performance results of the methods tested demonstrate the challenging characteristics of SHORT. The second subject of study was indoor localisation from hand-held and wearable cameras. For this topic, the RSM dataset was constructed, containing more than 90,000 video frames along more than 3 km of indoor journeys. An open-source pipeline and evaluation is also contributed in this area. The methods include a selection of custom-created single-frame and spatio-temporal image description methods. These are tested against baseline appearance-based methods such as SIFT and HOG3D and state-of-the-art SLAM. Results show that appearance-based methods, even in the absence of tracking, can provide enough information to infer location with errors as small as 1.5 m over a 50 m journey. From the methods studied, results suggest that single-frame approaches perform slightly better than spatio-temporal ones. In third place, I have developed a novel biologically inspired model of artificial place cells based on kernel distance metrics of appearance-based methods between query and database images. Localisation performance was also tested against the RSM dataset, achieving errors as low as 1.4 m over a 50 m trajectory and comparing favourably with the state of the art SLAM. Finally, I have prototyped an assistive localisation system using wearable or hand-held visual input and tactile feedback to track the localisation of the user over haptic maps. An evaluation of the quality of the tactile feedback using this approach is also provided.
Institutions, organizations and markets for inclusive growth
Creators: name: Corbishley, Christopher
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation views the challenge of delivering new products and services in low-cost contexts as an organization design problem, a thesis explored in three interrelated studies. Study I examines opportunity enactment and inter-organizational design via an in-depth case study on emergency medical response services in India, a context characterised by poor access, resource constraints and institutional voids. The case and context highlight the need for innovation in organization design and governance modes to create a new opportunity that connects state actors, private healthcare providers, and the public at large. It considers the role of open innovation and novel organizational arrangements between public and private actors in creating these service platforms, before discussing their implications for literature on public-private partnerships and institutional entrepreneurship. Study II is a qualitative study on the delivery of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS services in three different states in India. Using archival data, fieldwork and interviews with healthcare professionals and front-line workers in the National AIDS Control Organization of India (NACO), it examines how work is coordinated in stigmatized client settings. It proposes a model for organization design and work integration in contexts where stigma is an antecedent to disenfranchisement. In addition, my findings highlight the interplay of formal design choices and informal coordinating practices in restoring the integrative conditions necessary for collective work. Study III is a comparative case study of two hybrid organizations. Combining stakeholder theory with organization design perspectives, it explores the prioritization of stakeholder preferences within two social enterprises. Specifically, how the demands of their most salient stakeholders influence internal governance and organization design arrangements. It demonstrates how salient preferences create complex trade-offs between coordination and agency costs associated with alternate governance choices. Their impact on the depth and breadth of social value creation are also discussed.

Optimisation of coated nanowire solar cells by simulation
Creators: name: Edwards, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Radial junction nanowire solar cells are expected to give a higher performance than planar junction solar cells. This is due to the enhanced optical path length for absorption, and the shorter distance for excitons to travel to interfaces where they can dissociate. By means of simulation, we have optimised, with respect to geometrical parameters, solar cells consisting of light absorber coated metal- oxide nanowires. We have primarily studied nanowires with a TiO2 core and CdSe shell, as well as ZnO cores with PbS nanoparticles. Optical scattering and absorption is determined using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations. Charge transport is studied using finite-difference drift-diffusion modelling. The generation rate calculated from FDTD is inputted into the charge transport model. The aim is to determine which combination of nanowire parameters (such as coating thickness, height, radius and spacing) lead to the the highest power efficiencies. We found that core and shell thickness has more effect on absorption than nanowire arrangement.
