description: Video-game players generate huge amounts of data, as everything they do within a game is recorded. In particular, among all the stored actions and behaviors, there is information on the in-game purchases of virtual products. Such information is of critical importance in modern free-to-play titles, where gamers can select or buy a profusion of items during the game in order to progress and fully enjoy their experience. To try to maximize these kind of purchases, one can use a recommendation system so as to present players with items that might be interesting for them. Such systems can better achieve their goal by employing machine learning algorithms that are able to predict the rating of an item or product by a particular user. In this paper we evaluate and compare two of these algorithms, an ensemble-based model (extremely randomized trees) and a deep neural network, both of which are promising candidates for operational video-game recommender engines. Item recommenders can help developers improve the game. But, more importantly, it should be possible to integrate them into the game, so that users automatically get personalized recommendations while playing. The presented models are not only able to meet this challenge, providing accurate predictions of the items that a particular player will find attractive, but also sufficiently fast and robust to be used in operational settings.
Probing the response of quantum plasmonic systems: from the macroscopic to the microscopic
Creators: name: McEnery, Kyle
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis we investigate the response of plasmonic systems in a quantum optics setting. This work can be grouped into two sub-investigations, the study of macroscopic and microscopic responses. The narrative of the thesis comprises three principal parts. First, we give an in-depth review of the field of quantum plasmonics as it is an important theme that runs through the work contained in this thesis. In particular, we focus on outlining the cutting edge research that is being done on the intense interactions between plasmonic systems and quantum emitters. This leads naturally to the first investigation into the macroscopic response of quantum plasmonic systems in a metamaterial setting. We outline how complex hybrid systems of plasmonic metal nanoparticles (MNP) and two-level quantum dots (QD) can be used to create a quantum plasmonic metamaterial. Metamaterials are structures composed of periodic lattices of identical subwavelength unit cell scatterers, each of which governs completely the electromagnetic properties of the entire bulk material. We theorize the use of MNP-QD nanorings as a unit cell in order to control the macroscopic magnetic properties of the metamaterial. We outline how such a metamaterial can have a tunable, and saturable, magnetic permeability. In the last part of the thesis we consider the model of a single light mode interacting ultrastrongly with a collection of emitters, in the anticipation that quantum plasmonic systems can be brought into this ultrastrong-coupling regime (USC). In particular we study the emission of the system after the coupling between the light mode and the emitters is non-adiabatically switched-on. We find evidence that for both two-level, and multi-level, emitters in the USC, both the counter-rotating terms and the diamagnetic term must be included to prevent qualitative errors.

description: We describe a procedure for constructing initial data for boosted black holes in the moving-punctures approach to numerical relativity that endows the initial time slice from the outset with trumpet geometry within the black hole interiors. We then demonstrate the procedure in numerical simulations using an evolution code from the Einstein Toolkit that employs 1+log slicing. The Lorentz boost of a single black hole can be precisely specified and multiple, widely separated black holes can be treated approximately by superposition of single hole data. There is room within the scheme for later improvement to re-solve (iterate) the constraint equations in the multiple black hole case. The approach is shown to yield an initial trumpet slice for one black hole that is close to, and rapidly settles to, a stationary trumpet geometry. Initial data in this new approach is shown to contain initial transient (or "junk") radiation that is suppressed by as much as two orders of magnitude relative to that in comparable Bowen-York initial data.

Diesel exhaust particles and macrophage function: Relevance to COPD
Creators: name: Sehra, Gurpreet
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Atmospheric pollution is a global problem with a significant health risk. For example, inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEP), a major component of atmospheric pollution, increases the incidence of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DEP comprise a carbon core with adsorbed chemical compounds, metals and endotoxin. Inhaled DEP deposit in the lung and are targets for macrophages. Macrophages normally clear inhaled DEP and maintain lung sterility. However, macrophages also drive COPD pathophysiology by releasing inflammatory mediators. DEP heighten chronic inflammatory processes and induce cytotoxicity in macrophages. However the effects of DEP on macrophages from COPD patients remain unclear. The hypothesis underlying the present thesis was that 'DEP modulate macrophage pro-inflammatory mediator release and phagocytosis, and this is more prominent in COPD. To address this hypothesis, monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) from non-smokers, smokers and patients with COPD were exposed to three types of DEP, termed DEP-N (generated from a light engine), standard reference material (SRM)-1650B, SRM-2975 and control inert beads, and MDM viability, mediator release and phagocytosis were examined. Characterisation of the DEP showed each sample to be heterogeneous in size, and subject to aggregation. Fe and Cu metals were associated with the DEP-N sample but not with SRM-1650B or SRM-2975. DEP at concentrations ≤ 100µg/ml did not induce cytotoxicity but induced apoptosis in MDM from non-smokers and patients with COPD. DEP-N, but not SRM-2975, SRM-1650B or inert beads, stimulated CXCL8 release by MDM compared with non-stimulated controls. This was not due to endotoxin in the DEP-N samples. MDM from non-smokers and COPD patients were twice as responsive to DEP-N as cells from smokers. DEP-N-treated MDM activated p38 and ERK 1/2 MAPK pathways. A p38 inhibitor (PF-755616) or MEK inhibitor (PD98059) suppressed DEP-N-induced MDM activation of p38 or ERK 1/2 respectively, with associated inhibition of CXCL8 release, with no effect on viability. DEP-N inhibited MDM phagocytosis of beads from all subject groups in a concentration-dependent manner, although inhibition was associated with decreased cell viability. In conclusion, DEP-N, but not SRM, stimulated MDM CXCL8 release and suppressed phagocytosis, possibly as a result of differences in surface-adsorbed metals. The combined, opposite functional effects of DEP may, at least in part, contribute to the association between DEP exposure and incidence of exacerbations in patients with COPD. DEP-induced CXCL8 release was mediated via p38 and ERK 1/2 MAPK pathways, which suggests that inhibition of p38 or ERK 1/2 signalling may have therapeutic potential in COPD.

description: In our previous work [1], we introduced to an arbitrary Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm a distance between configurations. This measures the difficulty of transition from one configuration to the other, and enables us to investigate the relaxation of probability distribution from a geometrical point of view. In this paper, we investigate the geometry of stochastic systems whose equilibrium distributions are highly multimodal with a large number of degenerate vacua. Implementing the simulated tempering algorithm to such a system, we show that an asymptotically Euclidean anti-de Sitter geometry emerges with a horizon in the extended configuration space when the tempering parameter is optimized such that distances get minimized.

The Evolved Red Stellar Contents of the Sculptor Group Galaxies NGC55, NGC300, and NGC7793

description: Deep J, H, and K images are used to probe the evolved stellar contents in the central regions of the Sculptor group galaxies NGC55, NGC300, and NGC7793. The brightest stars are massive red supergiants (RSGs) with K ~ 15 - 15.5. The peak RSG brightness is constant to within ~0.5 mag in K, suggesting that NGC55, NGC300, and NGC7793 are at comparable distances. Comparisons with bright RSGs in the Magellanic Clouds indicate that the difference in distance modulus with respect to the LMC is = 7.5. A rich population of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, which isochrones indicate have ages between 0.1 and 10 Gyr, dominates the (K, J-K) color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of each galaxy. The detection of significant numbers of AGB stars with ages near 10 Gyr indicates that the disks of these galaxies contain an underlying old population. The CMDs and luminosity functions reveal significant galaxy-to-galaxy variations in stellar content. Star-forming activity in the central arcmin of NGC300 has been suppressed for the past Gyr with respect to disk fields at larger radii. Nevertheless, comparisons between fields within each galaxy indicate that star-forming activity during intermediate epochs was coherent on spatial scales of a kpc or more. A large cluster of stars, which isochrones suggest has an age near 100 Myr, is seen in one of the NGC55 fields. The luminosity function of the brightest stars in this cluster is flat, as expected if a linear luminosity-core mass relation is present.

description: The disk instability model attributes the outbursts of dwarf novae to a thermal-viscous instability of their accretion disk, an instability to which nova-like stars are not subject. We aim to test the fundamental prediction of the disk instability model: the separation of cataclysmic variables (CVs) into nova-likes and dwarf novae depending on orbital period and mass transfer rate from the companion. We analyse the lightcurves from a sample of ~130 CVs with a parallax distance in the Gaia DR2 catalogue to derive their average mass transfer rate. The method for converting optical magnitude to mass accretion rate is validated against theoretical lightcurves of dwarf novae. Dwarf novae (resp. nova-likes) are consistently placed in the unstable (resp. stable) region of the orbital period - mass transfer rate plane predicted by the disk instability model. None of the analyzed systems present a challenge to the model. These results are robust against the possible sources of error and bias that we investigated. Lightcurves from Kepler or, in the future, the LSST or Plato surveys, could alleviate a major source of uncertainty, the irregular sampling rate of the lightcurves, assuming good constraints can be set on the orbital parameters of the CVs that they happen to target. The disk instability model remains the solid base on which to construct the understanding of accretion processes in cataclysmic variables.

A clinical investigation of painful HIV-associated sensory neuropathy
Creators: name: Phillips, Tudor
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: HIV-associated sensory polyneuropathy (HIV-SN) is a distal symmetrical polyneuropathy that is a prevalent (approximately 40%), and often painful complication of HIV infection. The introduction of combination antiretroviral treatment (cART), transformed HIV infection from a high mortality condition into a chronic disease. Despite this, and the phasing-out of neurotoxic antiretroviral drugs, HIV-SN continues to be a significant morbidity experienced in HIV infection. Consequently, the understanding, prevention and management of HIV-SN is increasingly important. A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to examine the evidence for the efficacy of pharmacological agents in the management of pain in HIV-SN. Of 44 studies identified, 19 were randomized controlled trials, and only 14 were of sufficient quality. Interventions demonstrating greater efficacy than placebo included smoked cannabis and recombinant nerve growth factor (rhNGF). However rhNGF is not clinically available and smoked cannabis cannot be recommended as routine therapy. A second study was undertaken to phenotype a cohort of HIV infected participants with and without HIV-SN. This study examined demographic factors, symptomatology, metabolic factors, sensory nerve dysfunction through quantitative sensory testing (QST), and intra-epidermal nerve fibre density (IENFD); quality of life, sleep dysfunction and psychological co-morbidity. A novel triumvirate definition using QST, IENFD and a structured neurological examination was used to define HIV-SN. This study showed that patterns of sensory nerve dysfunction are heterogeneous in HIV-SN; the most common feature being loss of sensory function in mechanical and vibration detection modalities. Gain of function sensory changes were infrequent, but were seen in a small sub-group demonstrating wind-up phenomenon; this group demonstrated higher levels of catastrophizing behaviours. Measures of quality of life were generally lower than in other painful peripheral neuropathies. Sleep dysfunction was common in HIV-SN. Participants with HIV-SN had elevated triglycerides (TRG), providing further evidence for the role of dyslipidaemia in HIV-SN pathogenesis.
Survey of Two-Time Physics

description: Two-time physics (2T) is a general reformulation of one-time physics (1T) that displays previously unnoticed hidden symmetries in 1T dynamical systems and establishes previously unknown duality type relations among them. This may play a role in displaying the symmetries and constructing the dynamics of little understood systems, such as M-theory. 2T physics describes various 1T dynamical systems as different d-dimensional ``holographic'' views of the same 2T system in $d+2$ dimensions. The ``holography'' is due to gauge symmetries that tend to reduce the number of effective dimensions. Different 1T evolutions (i.e. different Hamiltonians) emerge from the same 2T theory when gauge fixing is done with different embeddings of d dimensions inside d+2 dimensions. Thus, in the 2T setting, the distinguished 1T which we call ``time'' is a gauge dependent concept. The 2T action has also a global SO(d,2) symmetry in flat spacetime, or a more general d+2 symmetry in curved spacetime, under which all dimensions are on an equal footing. This symmetry is observable in many 1T systems, but it remained unknown until discovered in the 2T formalism. 2T physics has mainly been developed in the context of particles, including spin and supersymmetry, but some advances have also been made with strings and p-branes, and insights for M-theory have already emerged. In the case of particles, there exists a general worldline formulation with background fields, as well as a field theory formulation, both described in terms of fields that depend on d+2 coordinates. The Standard Model of particle physics can be regarded as a gauge fixed form of a 2T theory in 4+2 dimensions. These facts already provide evidence for a new type of higher dimensional unification.

Plenoptic layer-based modeling for image based rendering
Creators: name: Pearson, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Image based rendering is an attractive alternative to model based rendering for generating novel views due to its lower complexity and potential for photo-realistic results. In order to reduce the number of images necessary for alias-free rendering, some geometric information for the 3D scene is normally necessary. Because the assumptions underlying Plenoptic theory are not fully met in practice, some aliasing is always present in real world examples. We will describe how we can mitigate these errors and achieve the performance predicted in plenoptic theory on real world data. We will present a fast unsupervised layer-based method for synthesising arbitrary new view of a scene from a set of existing views. Our algorithm takes advantage of the knowledge of the typical structure of multiview data in order to perform occlusionaware layer extraction. Moreover, the number of depth layers used to approximate the geometry of the scene is chosen using Plenoptic sampling theory. We further generalise this theory to allow the use of angled layers and multiple camera planes. The rendering is achieved by using a probabilistic interpolation approach and by extracting the depth layer information on a small number of key images. Simulation results show that our method is only 0.25 dB away from the ideal performance achieved when having access to the ground truth pixel based geometric information of the scene and comparisons are also made to alternative methods. These results demonstrates the effectiveness of our method and the validity of the layer-based model.

description: We consider the possibility that cosmic magnetic field, instead of being uniformly distributed, is strongly correlated with the large scale structure of the universe. Then, the observed rotational measure of extra-galactic radio sources would be caused mostly by the clumpy magnetic field in cosmological filaments/sheets rather than by a uniform magnetic field, which was often assumed in previous studies. As a model for the inhomogeneity of the cosmological magnetic field, we adopt a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, where the field is passively included, and can approximately represent the real field distribution with an arbitrary normalization for the field strength. Then, we derive an upper limit of the magnetic field strength by comparing the observed limit of rotational measure with the rotational measure expected from the magnetic field geometry in the simulated model universe. The resulting upper limit to the magnetic field in filaments and sheets is ${\bar B}_{fs} \la 1 μG$ which is $\sim10^3$ times higher than the previously quoted values. This value is close to, but larger than, the equipartition magnetic field strength in filaments and sheets. The amplification mechanism of the magnetic field to the above strength is uncertain. The implications of such a strength of the cosmic magnetic field are discussed.

Service use and socioeconomic status examination in heart failure (Sussex-HF): a single centre, retrospective study to investigate patterns of health inequality in a contemporary cohort of patients hospitalised with heart failure
Creators: name: Haydock, Paul Michael
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: OBJECTIVES: To establish the extent to which health inequality operates in a cohort of patients admitted with heart failure to a single centre serving an elderly population. DESIGN: Historical cohort study of patients admitted with a first coded presentation of heart failure. SETTING: Single district general hospital on the South-­‐East coast of England. PARTICIPANTS: 883 patients admitted with a coded diagnosis of heart failure in the first or second diagnostic position. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mortality, readmission rates, and proportion of patients receiving recommended care. RESULTS: This was an elderly cohort, with a median age of 82.4 years. Just over half were women (51.3%), who tended to be older than men (84 vs. 80 years). Crude mortality rates at 30 days and 1 year were 17% and 38% respectively. All cause readmission at 30 days occurred in 21.3% of cases and the rate of heart failure readmission within 1 year was 35%. The most deprived patients were younger at the time of admission than those from less deprived areas (77.9 vs. 82.3 years [p=0.036]). No association was found between deprivation and mortality but rates of readmission at 30 days were higher in more deprived quintiles(p=0.01). Rates of prescription of beneficial medications were not different between quintiles of deprivation, but significantly lower rates of B-­‐blocker and aldosterone antagonist prescription were observed in the elderly. Comorbidity and left ventricular ejection fraction were also associated with differential rates of prescribing. Provision of echocardiography and documentation of ejection fraction was strongly associated with age as was provision of specialist follow-­‐up. CONCLUSIONS: Hospitalization for heart failure appears to occur at an earlier age in individuals from more deprived areas, but subsequent specialist management is heavily dependent on age, not level of deprivation. This may contribute to poorer outcomes in older individuals admitted with heart failure.
Active and Merging Galaxies

description: Galaxy close pairs are studied to investigate the effects of gravitational interactions on star formation and black hole accretion processes in merger progenitors. We derive star formation rates from near-ultraviolet luminosities; this is a new method for studying mergers and provides unique insight into recent star formation rates. A range of progenitor masses are considered, as well as the separation between merging galaxies and the environment they inhabit. Star formation enhancements in major versus minor close pairs are also considered. Pairs are extracted from the SDSS by identifying galaxies with small angular separation and small recessional velocity difference. Optical photometry in five filters is available for these galaxies. The pairs sample is cross-matched with near-ultraviolet flux measurements from GALEX and specific star formation rates are derived. We study the fraction of active galaxies as a function of separation in close pairs and seek observational evidence for merger activity triggering black hole accretion. Optical emission lines are used to identify progenitors harbouring active galactic nuclei, and the ratio of active galaxies in close pairs is compared to that of non-mergers. The variable properties of a sample of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) are analysed. We present optimal QSO classification algorithms that exploit time series variability features calculated from Pan-STARRS light curves. This groundbreaking work crosses boundaries between astrophysics, statistics and machine learning. Spectroscopically confirmed QSOs and stars are used to train Support Vector Machine and Random Forest algorithms. We compare and evaluate the outcome of these models then apply them to Pan-STARRS light curves over nine medium deep fields, each covering 7 degrees-squared and located uniformly across the sky, to predict likely QSO candidates. We present a host of new variability features to characterise and provide measures of QSO variability.

description: We use the complexity equals action proposal to calculate the rate of complexity growth for field theories that are the holographic duals of asymptotically flat spacetimes. To this aim, we evaluate the on-shell action of asymptotically flat spacetime on the Wheeler-DeWitt patch. This results in the same expression as can be found by taking the flat-space limit from the corresponding formula related to the asymptotically AdS spacetimes. For the bulk dimensions that are greater than three, the rate of complexity growth at late times approaches from above to Lloyd's bound. However, for the three-dimensional bulks, this rate is a constant and differs from Lloyd's bound by a logarithmic term.

Localized and cellular buckling in stiffened plates
Creators: name: Farsi, Maryam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Nonlinear buckling behaviour of a thin-walled simply-supported stiffened panel that has uniformly spaced longitudinal stiffeners is studied. The structure is made from a linear elastic, isotropic and homogeneous material. The panel is subjected to pure compression applied at the centroid of whole cross-section. In such structures, the nonlinear interaction can occur between a global (Euler) buckling and local plate ( i.e. the stiffener or the main plate) buckling modes. The interactive buckling behaviour is usually more unstable than when the modes are triggered individually. This can lead to a significant reduction of the load-carrying capacity. The current work focuses on the case where the stiffening is only on one side of the main plate. An analytical model of a perfect thin-walled stiffened plate is formulated based on variational principles by minimizing the total potential energy. The equations of equilibrium are then solved numerically using the continuation and bifurcation software Auto to determine the post-buckling behaviour. Cellular buckling (or snaking) is revealed analytically in such a component arising from nonlinear local global interactive buckling, perhaps for the first time. In addition, the effect of varying the rigidity at the main plate -stiffener junction is studied; a rapid erosion of the cellular buckling response is revealed by increasing the joint rigidity. The initial model is then developed by including more degrees of freedom within the stiffened panel and the introduction of global and local imperfections. The results from the analytical model are validated by the finite element (FE) method using the commercial software Abaqus as well as by comparing against some experimental results taken from the literature. To obtain a greater understanding of the drivers of the structural behaviour, parametric studies are conducted for a variety of different plate and stiffener geometries as well as an investigation into the heightened sensitivity to geometric imperfections. The worst forms of local imperfection are identified in terms of the initial amplitude, number of waves and the degree of localization. The imperfection sensitivity and the parametric studies are conducted for two limiting cases, where the main plate- stiffener joint is assumed to be fully pinned or fully rigid. A framework for establishing the zone where structural designers need to consider mode interaction carefully is presented.
Identifying the ideal cardiopulmonary exercise test variable to distinguish between the cardiovascular and respiratory components of functional limitation and to detect relevant physiological changes in function

description: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is established for the investigation of cardiac disease. In patients with heart failure multiple variables have shown prognostic benefit, although peak VO2 remains the most widely used. It is accepted that peak VO2 is affected by respiratory disease as well, and may be highly susceptible to influence from respiratory disease coexistent with cardiac disease. I propose an alternative variable will show significantly greater specificity for cardiovascular disease when compared to peak VO2 (and other variables) and aim to identify this “ideal” variable through the investigation of patients undergoing isolated cardiac interventions. Patients were recruited to the following groups: undergone/going cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT); heart failure; mitral valve surgery; COPD or mixed disease. Each patient underwent echocardiography, pulmonary function tests and blood sampling. They then performed (after an initial familiarisation CPX) a baseline CPX. In patients undergoing intervention (CRT and mitral surgery) they underwent another CPX 2-3 months after intervention, and a further CPX at 6 months in the mitral valve group. I assessed the following characteristics to aid in finding an ideal variable: ability to discriminate between heart and lung disease; high reproducibility; relation to exercise capacity and disease severity; and appropriate changes with physiological interventions. ROC curve analysis showed that breathing reserve, OUES and double product had the greatest areas under curve when differentiating COPD from heart failure. OUES also showed excellent test-retest reproducibility and was strongly correlated to disease severity. Following mitral surgery OUES fell less at 2 months than peak VO2; OUES may therefore be influenced to a lesser degree by muscular maladaptation post-surgery. The ideal cardiopulmonary exercise test variable for cardiac patients has yet to be described. OUES appears to show discriminating properties between heart and lung, is reproducible and is less influenced by peripheral changes when compared to peak VO2.

description: Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has the poorest survival outcomes for all gynaecological malignancies. Despite emerging knowledge on the heterogeneity of the disease the majority of patients are initially treated the same. Biomarkers which could predict treatment response would greatly enhance patient care. Results: Differential DNA methylation analysis of serous EOC tumours identified 180 loci significantly associated with residual disease status (n=297, p<0.05, FDR <5%), with 23 corresponding genes also significantly associated in gene expression array analysis (p<0.05, FDR <10%). Differential DNA methylation of 27 loci were significantly associated with overall survival in patients receiving optimal debulking (n=78, p<0.05). Patients optimally debulked but with poor prognosis markers were found to have the same survival as those suboptimally debulked suggesting that supraradical surgery is not beneficial in these patients. Hypomethylation at intragenic regions of the homeobox gene MSX1 was associated with primary platinum resistance significantly (n=61, p<0.05, FDR<5%) and these findings were validated in an independent dataset (n=252, p<0.05). DNA methylation was also significantly correlated to gene expression. Platinum resistant ovarian cancer cell lines demonstrated significantly lower gene expression of MSX1 compared to sensitive pairs. Proliferation and apoptosis cell-line assays demonstrated sensitisation to cisplatin when cisplatin resistant A2780/CP70 cells re-expressed MSX1 following gene transfection. An increase in p53 downstream transcripts, CDKN1A (p21) and BAX was also demonstrated in these MSX1 transfectants. The detection of disease at 5 distinct anatomical sites determined by preoperative computed tomography was significantly associated with surgical debulking outcomes in a test (n=111) and validation (n=70) cohort of patients with EOC (sensitivity 64.7-69.2%, specificity 67.9-71.4%, AUC 0.721-0.749). Conclusions: DNA methylation is a potential rich source of biomarkers predicting cytoreductive outcome and survival. The discovery and validation of a novel DNA methylation biomarker of chemotherapy resistance is demonstrated with exciting findings related to its biological function in cisplatin sensitive assays.
Investigation of conditional statistics in premixed combustion and the transition to flameless oxidation in turbulent opposed jets

description: The current work focuses on extracting useful statistical information from Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements, complemented by Hot Wire Anemometry (HWA) measurements. Experiments were conducted in the turbulent opposed jet geometry, which is a canonical configuration for understanding the fundamentals of flow and combustion. Novel fractal grids were used to generate turbulence in the flow, and turbulent characteristics of the flow field were extracted to ascertain the relative effects of flow configuration on the flow characteristics, including lengthscale and energy information, using energy spectra and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). Lean premixed flames were measured using PIV, and novel techniques used to extract unconditional velocity statistics, bulk motion and rotation effects, conditional statistics, turbulent burning velocities, flame surface density (FSD), thickness of turbulent flame brush and instantaneous reaction zone, flame surface area, conditional dissipation, as well as conditional POD (CPOD). These were made accessible via density segregation, a multi-step image processing algorithm, used to detect flame isocontours directly from PIV images. Relative effects of flow and chemistry were investigated for lean premixed twin opposed jet flames, using methane, propane, ethylene, cyclopentane and JP-10 as fuels. In addition, the transition to flameless oxidation from conventional premixed flames was also characterised using methane, cyclopentane, cyclopentene and JP-10, via a Damkohler number analysis.
Late miocene and early pliocene palaeoceanography at the eastern equatorial Pacific IODP Site U1338: implications for climate evolution and stability

description: The short-term background climate variability during the climatically stable latest Miocene to early Pliocene (LM-EP) is not well understood, owing to the lack of continuous, high-resolution climate records. Assessing variability during an interval of long-term climatic stability will constrain how sensitivity of major Earth’s system components (Earth system response - ESR) to external radiative forcing has changed through time. This study investigated LM-EP climate, focussing on changes in ESR, El-Nino-Southern-Oscillation state, glacio-eustacy and the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), and the origin of the Late Miocene Carbon Isotope Shift (LMCIS). This project produced the first high-resolution benthic foraminiferal δ18O and δ13C record in the eastern equatorial Pacific (IODP Site U1338) from 8.0-3.5 Ma that resolves all Milankovitch cyclicities. A high-resolution, orbitally-based age model, planktic foraminiferal δ18O, δ13C and Mg/Ca, coccolith-rich ‘clumped isotopes’ Δ47, spectral analyses and multi-site benthic foraminiferal isotope compilations were also produced. Planktic foraminiferal Mg/Ca sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were ~25 °C. Coccolith-rich Δ47 temperatures were unrealistically cold at ~10-15 °C, reflecting moderate coccolith preservation and vital effects that cause higher Δ47. Site U1338 and 982 combined benthic foraminiferal (δ18O; δ13C) wavelet analyses show moderate ESR from 6.3–4.7 Ma and after 3.7 Ma, but lower ERS from 7.0–6.3 Ma. The δ18O-minimum stage ~5.33 Ma, during long-term minimum δ18O, suggests that glacio-eustacy played a role in the MSC termination. The benthic foraminiferal δ13C compilation confirms that the LMCIS was globally synchronous and caused by a negative shift in oceanic reservoir δ13C, driven by changes in the continental carbon flux (increased sea-floor-spreading / C4-grass expansion). Data syntheses show that global warmth, dominant El-Nino state, high cryosphere sensitivity, lower ice volume and short-term ice sheet variations characterised the LM-EP pre-7.0 and post-5.7 Ma. Stable conditions occurred ~7.0-5.7 Ma, with dominant La-Nina, higher ice volume, low cryosphere sensitivity and lower SSTs.

description: We study the gluon propagator in Landau gauge in the deconfined phase of $SU(2)$ gauge theory. From the long-distance behaviour of correlation functions of temporal and spatial components of the gauge fields we extract electric ($m_e$) and magnetic ($m_m$) screening masses. For temperatures larger than twice $T_c$ we find no additional temperature dependence in $m_e(T)/T$, while $m_m(T)/T$ drops with increasing temperature. The decrease is consistent with the expected behaviour, $m_m(T) \sim g^2(T)T$. We find $m_e(T) = 2.484(52)T$ and $m_m(T) = 0.466(15) g^2(T) T$.
