description: A model calculation for pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions is presented. Direct production, pion rescattering and contributions from pair diagrams are taken into account. The amplitudes for the elementary processes are based on well established microscopic models of nucleon-nucleon and pion-nucleon scattering. The $Δ(1232)$ is included explicitly and is found to play an important role even at energies close to production threshold. A good overall agreement with existing data from the pion production threshold up to the Delta resonance region is achieved.

description: We consider a one-dimensional lattice system of unbounded, real-valued spins with arbitrary strong, quadratic, finite-range interaction. We show the equivalence of correlations of the grand canonical (gce) and the canonical ensemble (ce). As a corollary we obtain that the correlations of the ce decay exponentially plus a volume correction term. Then, we use the decay of correlation to verify a conjecture that the infinite-volume Gibbs measure of the ce is unique on a one-dimensional lattice. For the equivalence of correlations, we modify a method that was recently used by the authors to show the equivalence of the ce and the gce on the level of thermodynamic functions. In this article we also show that the equivalence of the ce and the gce holds on the level of observables. One should be able to extend the methods and results to graphs with bounded degree as long as the gce has a sufficient strong decay of correlations.

description: We study the breaking of supersymmetry in five-dimensional (5d) warped spaces, using the Randall-Sundrum model as a prototype. In particular, we present a supersymmetry-breaking mechanism which has a geometrical origin, and consists of imposing different boundary conditions between the fermions and bosons living in the 5d bulk. The scale of supersymmetry breaking is exponentially small due to the warp factor of the AdS metric. We apply this mechanism to a supersymmetric standard model where supersymmetry breaking is transmitted through the AdS bulk to matter fields confined on the Planck-brane. This leads to a predictable superparticle mass spectrum where the gravitino mass is $10^{-3}$eV and scalar particles receive masses at the one-loop level via bulk gauge interactions. We calculate the mass spectrum in full detail using the 5d AdS propagators. The AdS/CFT correspondence suggests that our 5d warped model is dual to the ordinary 4d MSSM with a strongly coupled CFT sector responsible for the breaking of supersymmetry.

description: Owing to high device density, scalability and non-volatility, Magnetic Tunnel Junction-based crossbars have garnered significant interest for implementing the weights of an artificial neural network. The existence of only two stable states in MTJs implies a high overhead of obtaining optimal binary weights in software. We illustrate that the inherent parallelism in the crossbar structure makes it highly appropriate for in-situ training, wherein the network is taught directly on the hardware. It leads to significantly smaller training overhead as the training time is independent of the size of the network, while also circumventing the effects of alternate current paths in the crossbar and accounting for manufacturing variations in the device. We show how the stochastic switching characteristics of MTJs can be leveraged to perform probabilistic weight updates using the gradient descent algorithm. We describe how the update operations can be performed on crossbars both with and without access transistors and perform simulations on them to demonstrate the effectiveness of our techniques. The results reveal that stochastically trained MTJ-crossbar NNs achieve a classification accuracy nearly same as that of real-valued-weight networks trained in software and exhibit immunity to device variations.

The dynamics of strong laser-driven shocks in cluster media
Creators: name: Hohenberger, Matthias
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Shocks and blast waves are ubiquitous features observed in plasma physics and in astrophysical phenomena and, as such, have long been the subject of experimental and theoretical studies. This thesis describes experimental and numerical investigations of the dynamics of laser driven shocks in cluster media. Target gases of atomic clusters have been shown to exhibit e cient absorption of high-intensity laser radiation, allowing to use `table-top' scale laser systems to drive high Mach-number shock waves. By applying hydrodynamic scaling laws, these systems can provide insight into the physics governing much larger astrophysical phenomena, such as supernova remnants. Experiments were conducted to investigate the structure and propagation dynamics of cylindrical blast waves in radiative and non-radiative gases. Shock pro ling studies performed at Imperial College London are presented, that highlight the need for non-LTE calculations of the shock physics. Investigations into the onset of the radiation driven thermal cooling instability (TCI) were performed by means of a streaked Schlieren technique, developed to obtain single-shot shock trajectory measurements, while removing any ambiguities imposed by shot-to-shot uctuations. In order to scale previous results to higher drive energies, experiments were performed using the Vulcan laser facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The resulting cluster absorption and shocked gas comparison data is discussed in detail, including data indicating the rst experimental observation of TCI. To study shock collisions, a unique focal geometry has been employed, creating two near-parallel cylindrical shocks. By means of an interferometric tomography technique, the full 3D electron density pro le was reconstructed, showing complex material transport and Mach stem formation at the oblique shock collision interface, con rmed by 3D hydrodynamics simulations. To investigate this feature further, shock interactions with an obstruction were also performed, showing interesting propagation features through density steps imposed by the obstruction in the cold gas stream.

Medical robots for MRI guided diagnosis and therapy
Creators: name: Tse, Tsz Ho
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides the capability of imaging tissue with fine resolution and superior soft tissue contrast, when compared with conventional ultrasound and CT imaging, which makes it an important tool for clinicians to perform more accurate diagnosis and image guided therapy. Medical robotic devices combining the high resolution anatomical images with real-time navigation, are ideal for precise and repeatable interventions. Despite these advantages, the MR environment imposes constraints on mechatronic devices operating within it. This thesis presents a study on the design and development of robotic systems for particular MR interventions, in which the issue of testing the MR compatibility of mechatronic components, actuation control, kinematics and workspace analysis, and mechanical and electrical design of the robot have been investigated. Two types of robotic systems have therefore been developed and evaluated along the above aspects. (i) A device for MR guided transrectal prostate biopsy: The system was designed from components which are proven to be MR compatible, actuated by pneumatic motors and ultrasonic motors, and tracked by optical position sensors and ducial markers. Clinical trials have been performed with the device on three patients, and the results reported have demonstrated its capability to perform needle positioning under MR guidance, with a procedure time of around 40mins and with no compromised image quality, which achieved our system speci cations. (ii) Limb positioning devices to facilitate the magic angle effect for diagnosis of tendinous injuries: Two systems were designed particularly for lower and upper limb positioning, which are actuated and tracked by the similar methods as the first device. A group of volunteers were recruited to conduct tests to verify the functionality of the systems. The results demonstrate the clear enhancement of the image quality with an increase in signal intensity up to 24 times in the tendon tissue caused by the magic angle effect, showing the feasibility of the proposed devices to be applied in clinical diagnosis.

description: Dirac states hosted by Sb/Bi square nets are known to exist in the layered antiferromagnetic AMnX$_2$ (A = Ca/Sr/Ba/Eu/Yb, X=Sb/Bi) material family the space group to be P4/nmm or I4/mmm. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of quantum transport behaviors, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and first-principles calculations on SrZnSb2, a nonmagnetic analogue to AMnX2, which crystallizes in the pnma space group with distorted square nets. From the quantum oscillation measurements up to 35 T, three major frequencies including F$_1$ = 103 T, F$_2$ = 127 T and F$_3$ = 160 T, are identified. The effective masses of the quasiparticles associated with these frequencies are extracted, namely, m*$_1$ = 0.1 m$_e$, m*$_2$ = 0.1 m$_e$ and m*$_3$ = 0.09m$_e$, where m$_e$ is the free electron mass. From the three-band Lifshitz-Kosevich fit, the Berry phases accumulated along the cyclotron orbit of the quasiparticles are 0.06$π$, 1.2$π$ and 0.74$π$ for F$_1$, F$_2$ and F$_3$, respectively. Combined with the ARPES data and the first-principles calculations, we reveal that F2 and F3 are associated with the two nontrivial Fermi pockets at the Brillouin zone edge while F1 is associated with the trivial Fermi pocket at the zone center. In addition, the first-principles calculations further suggest the existence of Dirac nodal line in the band structure of SrZnSb$_2$.

description: Objective: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are recommended for preventing gastrointestinal lesions induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We performed this study: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PPIs, (2) to explore the association between effectiveness and potential influential factors, and (3) to investigate the comparative effect of different PPIs. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify randomized controlled trials comparing different classes of PPIs, or comparing PPIs with placebo, H2 receptor antagonists or misoprostol in NSAIDs users. Both pairwise meta-analysis and Bayesian network meta-analysis were performed. Results: Analyses were based on 12,532 participants from 31 trials. PPIs were significantly more effective than placebo in reducing ulcer complications (relative risk [RR] = 0.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20 to 0.42) and endoscopic peptic ulcers (RR = 0.27; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.33), with no subgroup differences according to class of NSAIDs, ulcer risk, history of previous ulcer disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, or age. To prevent one ulcer complication, 10 high risk patients and 268 moderate risk patients need PPI therapy. Network meta-analysis indicated that the effectiveness of different PPIs in reducing ulcer complications and endoscopic peptic ulcers is generally similar. PPIs significantly reduced gastrointestinal adverse events and the related withdrawals compared to placebo; there is no difference in safety between different PPIs. Conclusions: PPIs are effective and safe in preventing peptic ulcers and complications in a wide spectrum of patients requiring NSAID therapy. There is no major difference in the comparative effectiveness and safety between different PPIs.
Lung innate homeostasis and susceptibility to viral induced secondary bacterial pneumonias
Creators: name: Goulding, John Charles
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Influenza A virus causes significant and well publicised morbidity and mortality as a single infection. However, in combination with a secondary bacterial super infection the resulting prognosis is worse and can result in hospitalisation or death. Despite extensive clinical and epidemiological evidence, the precise immunological mechanism(s) responsible for increasing susceptibility to secondary bacterial infections remain unknown. Possible mechanisms include disruption to the epithelial barrier, up-regulation of bacterial adhesion receptors, virus-induced immune suppression or a combination of all three. In this thesis we examine a novel hypothesis that suggests influenza virus infection alters the lung homeostatic microenvironment resulting in a state of immune unresponsiveness that increases susceptibility to subsequent respiratory bacterial infections. This thesis demonstrates that respiratory bacterial complications only arise once influenza has caused significant respiratory damage and can occur many days after viral elimination. We also demonstrate that influenza infection results in a long term desensitisation of alveolar macrophage responses to subsequent bacteria and their products. Furthermore, in an attempt to resolve viral associated inflammation, the airway inadvertently over regulates by enhancing an innate immune negative regulator, CD200R, resulting in a transient state of immune hypo-responsiveness. Removal of this single receptor limits bacterial burden and completely prevents lethal bacteraemia. Finally, we provide preliminary data that suggests airway antimicrobial peptide expression is altered during an influenza infection and that innate immune status of the host can influence commensal bacteria communities of the upper respiratory tract. This thesis highlights that infection history can significantly influence host immunity to subsequent infections and how an increased awareness of this could lead to more targeted use of existing antimicrobial therapies and the development of much needed novel therapeutics. Adjustment of the level of innate responsiveness may therefore provide a novel opportunity to prevent life-threatening consequences of lung influenza virus infection.
Science, scientific Intellectuals, and British culture in the early atomic age: a case study of George Orwell, Jacob Bronowski, P.M.S. Blackett and J.G. Crowther
Creators: name: Desmarais, Ralph John
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation proposes a revised understanding of the place of science in British literary and political culture during the early atomic era. It builds on recent scholarship that discards the cultural pessimism and alleged ‘two-cultures’ dichotomy which underlay earlier histories. Countering influential narratives centred on a beleaguered radical scientific Left in decline, this account instead recovers an early postwar Britain whose intellectual milieu was politically heterogeneous and culturally vibrant. It argues for different and unrecognised currents of science and society that informed the debates of the atomic age, most of which remain unknown to historians. Following a contextual overview of British scientific intellectuals active in mid-century, this dissertation then considers four individuals and episodes in greater detail. The first shows how science and scientific intellectuals were intimately bound up with George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four (1949). Contrary to interpretations portraying Orwell as hostile to science, Orwell in fact came to side with the views of the scientific right through his active wartime interest in scientists’ doctrinal disputes; this interest, in turn, contributed to his depiction of Ingsoc, the novel’s central fictional ideology. Jacob Bronowski’s remarkable transition from pre-war academic mathematician and Modernist poet to a leading postwar BBC media don is then traced. A key argument is that rather than publicly engaging with actual relations of science and the British state, Bronowski actively downplayed the perils of nuclear weapons, instead promoting an idealist vision of science through his scientific humanism philosophy. Finally, the political activism of J.G. Crowther and P.M.S. Blackett are analysed, Crowther through his chairmanship of the Communist-linked British Peace Committee, and Blackett through his controversial book Military and Political Consequences of Atomic Energy (1948). In neither case, as might be expected, did their nuclear politics stem from scientific ideology but rather from personal convictions.

description: We compute loop corrections to the effective action of a field theory on a five-dimensional $S_1/Z_2$ orbifold. We find that the quantum loop effects of interactions in the bulk produce infinite contributions that require renormalization by four-dimensional couplings on the orbifold fixed planes. Thus bulk couplings give rise to renormalization group running of brane couplings.

description: We reexamine the production of J/Psi and other charmonium states for a variety of target-projectile choices at the SPS. For this study we use a newly constructed cascade code LUCIFER II, which yields acceptable descriptions of both hard and soft processes, specifically Drell-Yan and hidden charm production, and soft energy loss and meson production, at the SPS. Glauber calculations of other authors are redone, and compared directly to the cascade results. The modeling of the charmonium states differs from that of earlier workers in its unified treatment of the hidden charm meson spectrum, which is introduced from the outset as a set of coupled states. The result is a description of the NA38 and NA50 data in terms of a conventional hadronic picture. The apparently anomalous suppression found in the most massive Pb+Pb system arises from three sources: destruction in the initial nucleon-nucleon cascade, use of coupled channels to exploit the larger breakup in the less bound Chi and Psi' states, and comover interaction in the final low energy phase.

The in vivo molecular and cellular interactions involved in peptide induced graft tolerance
Creators: name: Derbyshire, Katy
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Intranasal (i.n.) administration of the class II restricted peptide, NAGFNSNRANSSRSS, encoded by the Dby gene (HY-AbDby) can induce tolerance to male skin grafts and haematopoietic cells in high responder B6 (H2b) female mice (Chai et al., 2004). i.n. administration of the single class II peptide is able to induce tolerance not only in B6 recipients that express two additional MHC Class I epitopes but also in (B6xCBA)F1 mice that express a further class II and two class I restricted HY peptide epitopes, a total of five. The aim of this project was to explore the mechanism(s) by which i.n. HY-AbDby peptide induces tolerance to male grafts. To do this gene expression in antigen specific T cells was analysed during both the tolerance induction phase and during the linked suppression phase, after male skin grafting. During tolerance induction HY-specific cells were found to upregulate the genes encoding FoxP3, PD-1, CTLA4 , IFN! and IL-13. This suggests that i.n. peptide induced a regulatory T cell population that may also modulate antigen presenting DCs. Following challenge with male cells, antigen specific CD8+ cells from rejecting mice were found to upregulate genes involved in cell killing such as granzyme B, FasL and cathepsin B. CD8+ cells from tolerant mice were not found to upregulate these genes. Furthermore, after male skin grafting antigen specific CD8+ T cells accumulated the graft draining lymph nodes. Taken together, the results presented in this thesis suggest that i.n. peptide induces a regulatory population of FoxP3+ CD4+ T cells that can prevent transplantation rejection by modulating dendritic cell function and preventing antigen specific CD8+ T cell from migrating from the graft draining lymph node.

description: The LinkedIn Salary product was launched in late 2016 with the goal of providing insights on compensation distribution to job seekers, so that they can make more informed decisions when discovering and assessing career opportunities. The compensation insights are provided based on data collected from LinkedIn members and aggregated in a privacy-preserving manner. Given the simultaneous desire for computing robust, reliable insights and for having insights to satisfy as many job seekers as possible, a key challenge is to reliably infer the insights at the company level when there is limited or no data at all. We propose a two-step framework that utilizes a novel, semantic representation of companies (Company2vec) and a Bayesian statistical model to address this problem. Our approach makes use of the rich information present in the LinkedIn Economic Graph, and in particular, uses the intuition that two companies are likely to be similar if employees are very likely to transition from one company to the other and vice versa. We compute embeddings for companies by analyzing the LinkedIn members' company transition data using machine learning algorithms, then compute pairwise similarities between companies based on these embeddings, and finally incorporate company similarities in the form of peer company groups as part of the proposed Bayesian statistical model to predict insights at the company level. We perform extensive validation using several different evaluation techniques, and show that we can significantly increase the coverage of insights while, in fact, even improving the quality of the obtained insights. For example, we were able to compute salary insights for 35 times as many title-region-company combinations in the U.S. as compared to previous work, corresponding to 4.9 times as many monthly active users. Finally, we highlight the lessons learned from deployment of our system.

description: The Fort Argyle Site (9BN28) is situated upon a bluff on the west bank of the Ogeechee River on the eastern margin of the modern Fort Stewart US Army Reservation in Bryan County, Georgia. The site contains the historical Fort Argyle, which was an important early colonial outpost (AD 1733–1767). Eleven sediment samples collected primarily from palisade trenches were submitted for pollen and phytolith analysis in conjunction with Phase III archaeological work. In addition, individual samples represent a cellar, a pit, and the chimney base. Parasite analysis was also conducted on one of the sediment samples (Sample 343) from a cellar in Zone A. Analyses were conducted to determine an environmental signature of Fort Argyle and its surroundings during and shortly following its occupation.

description: Based on the Relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory, the pseudo-spin approximation in exotic nuclei is investigated in Zr and Sn isotopes from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line. The quality of the pseudo-spin approximation is shown to be connected with the competition between the centrifugal barrier (CB) and the pseudo-spin orbital potential (PSOP). The PSOP depends on the derivative of the difference between the scalar and vector potentials $dV/dr$. If $dV/dr = 0$, the pseudo-spin symmetry is exact. The pseudo-spin symmetry is found to be a good approximation for normal nuclei and to become much better for exotic nuclei with highly diffuse potential, which have $dV/dr \sim 0$. The energy splitting of the pseudo-spin partners is smaller for orbitals near the Fermi surface (even in the continuum) than the deeply bound orbitals. The lower components of the Dirac wave functions for the pseudo-spin partners are very similar and almost equal in magnitude.

description: We present a second-order gradient analysis of light transport in participating media and use this to develop an improved radiance caching algorithm for volumetric light transport. We adaptively sample and interpolate radiance from sparse points in the medium using a second-order Hessian-based error metric to determine when interpolation is appropriate. We derive our metric from each point's incoming light field, computed by using a proxy triangulation-based representation of the radiance reflected by the surrounding medium and geometry. We use this representation to efficiently compute the first- and second-order derivatives of the radiance at the cache points while accounting for occlusion changes. We also propose a self-contained two-dimensional model for light transport in media and use it to validate and analyze our approach, demonstrating that our method outperforms previous radiance caching algorithms both in terms of accurate derivative estimates and final radiance extrapolation. We generalize these findings to practical three-dimensional scenarios, where we show improved results while reducing computation time by up to 30\% compared to previous work.

Creators: name: TBD
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Neoscope is the first multi-objective pre-silicon design space exploration tool for investigating System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures that are resilient to workload churn. Neoscope uses integer linear programming and concepts from job-shop scheduling to construct near-optimal SoCs for a given workload. For more details, please see the full paper. 

 

This artifact provides the hardware-profiled input data used to generate all workloads, scripts used to export Minizinc DZN files, all Minizinc MZN model files, and submission scripts capable of invoking the ILP solver to find near-optimal SoCs.
Robustness to fundamental uncertainty in AGI alignment
Creators: name: Worley, G Gordon
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The AGI alignment problem has a bimodal distribution of outcomes with most outcomes clustering around the poles of total success and existential, catastrophic failure. Consequently, attempts to solve AGI alignment should, all else equal, prefer false negatives (ignoring research programs that would have been successful) to false positives (pursuing research programs that will unexpectedly fail). Thus, we propose adopting a policy of responding to points of philosophical and practical uncertainty associated with the alignment problem by limiting and choosing necessary assumptions to reduce the risk of false positives. Herein we explore in detail two relevant points of uncertainty that AGI alignment research hinges on---meta-ethical uncertainty and uncertainty about mental phenomena---and show how to reduce false positives in response to them.

description: For the kinematical region when a hard photon is emitted predominantly close to the direction of motion of a longitudinally polarized initial electron and relatively small momentum transfer to a proton we calculate the azimuthal asymmetry of photon emission. It arises from the interference of the Bethe-Heitler amplitude and those which are described by a heavy photon impact factor. Azimuthal asymmetry does not decrease in the limit of infinite cms energy. Lowest order expression for the impact factor of a heavy photon is presented.
