On Wake Interference in the Flow around Two Circular Cylinders: Direct Stability Analysis and Flow-Induced Vibrations
Creators: name: Carmo, Bruno Souza
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The flow around two identical circular cylinders, arranged in configurations where one of the cylinders is immersed in the wake of the other, is studied using numerical simulations. Two aspects of such flows were considered. The first is the stability of nominally two-dimensional time-periodic wakes to three-dimensional perturbations. We investigated flows around tandem and staggered arrangements with diverse centre-to-centre distances. Direct stability analysis and numerical simulations were employed, and the results are compared to those obtained for the flow around an isolated cylinder. The onsets of the three-dimensional instabilities were calculated and the unstable modes are fully described. In addition, we assess the nonlinear character of the bifurcations and physical mechanisms are proposed to explain the instabilities. The second aspect considered in this thesis is the flowinduced vibration experienced by a rigid cylinder when it is mounted on an elastic base and immersed in the wake of a fixed identical cylinder. Tandem arrangements with centre-to-centre distances varying from 1.5 to 8 cylinder diameters were tested. The flow was simulated using an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian approach that coupled the solution of the structure equations with that of the flow. Two- and three- dimensional simulations were performed to assess the mutual influence between the three-dimensional flow structures in the wake and the motion of the cylinder. The response of the downstream cylinder is compared to that of an elastically-mounted rigid isolated cylinder. Based on the simulation results we propose physical mechanisms to explain the origin of the excitation.

description: We apply the time-dependent variational principle of Balian and Vénéroni to the $ Φ^4$ theory. An appropriate parametrization for the variational objects allows us to write coupled dynamical equations from which we derive approximations for the two-time correlation functions involving two, three or four field operators.

description: Increased productivity on cocoa farms can be achieved through a combination of supplying improved planting materials and good agricultural practice. Targets for improved genotypes typically include high yield potential, good bean size and fat content, resilience to pests and diseases and, increasingly, resilience to environmental stresses (e.g. drought). Access to a diverse range of germplasm is key to the breeding and selection activities that ultimately provide improved planting materials to farmers. However, any movement of germplasm to meet the requirement for such diversity brings with it the concurrent risk of the spread of pests and diseases. Therefore, all movement of cocoa germplasm must adhere to safe movement protocols and quarantine procedures.
The Technical Guidelines for the Safe Movement of Cacao Germplasm were originally published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and since 2010 have been updated under the auspices of CacaoNet and published by Bioversity International (now Alliance of Bioversity International-CIAT). The most recent update was published in 2021 and is available on-line, free of charge, in English, French and Spanish. The first part of the guidelines consists of information on the geographical spread of important pests and diseases of cocoa and general recommendations on safe movement procedures. The second part includes up-to-date information on specific pests and diseases along with information on quarantine measures required, each authored/updated by one or more experts of the respective pest/disease. The latest update also includes information on more recently characterised viruses and on pests of emerging importance (e.g. Carmenta spp. in S. America).
The International Cocoa Quarantine Centre at the University of Reading (ICQC,R) provides the main hub for international movement of cocoa germplasm and has been in operation for over 35 years. Procedures in place within the facility include visual indexing for viruses and other pests and diseases over a two-year period combined with PCR testing with a suite of primers that are periodically updated according to current information on viruses of cocoa. The list of germplasm available at ICQC, R can be found at www.icgd.reading.ac.uk/icqc/ and detailed information on specific genotypes is provided through links to the International Cocoa Germplasm Database (ICGD).

description: We applied the Four Dimensional Ecology Education (4DEE) Framework to create a teaching module for undergraduate courses in introductory ecology, restoration ecology, and environmental sciences. The module investigates how past land use changes continue to influence present-day species assemblages, providing students with an opportunity to apply ecological theory to current environmental challenges. We worked with a secondary forest that developed after agricultural activities ceased on a former plantation. Although the study was conducted in this specific location, the approach can be applied to any land area.
Students analyze aerial images using Google Earth Pro to create land history data covering the past 60 years and map 15 x 15 m plots in a secondary forest. Then, students record species diversity of woody vegetation in each of those plots. Depending on interests and faculty expertise a variety of ecosystem services or functions could be measured. In a final discussion, students then consider other common post-abandonment land use transitions with varying degrees of human intervention.

description: We theoretically study the electrokinetic problem of a pressure-induced liquid flow through a narrow long channel with charged walls, going beyond the classical Helmholtz-Schmolukowski picture by considering the surprisingly strong combined effect of (i) Stern layer conductance and (ii) dynamic charge-regulating rather than fixed surface charges. We find that the water flow induces, apart from the well-known streaming potential, also a strongly heterogeneous surface charge and zeta-potential on chemically homogeneous channel walls. Moreover, we identify a novel steady state with a nontrivial 3D electric flux with 2D surface charges acting as sources and sinks. For a pulsed pressure drop our findings also provide a first-principles explanation for ill-understood experiments on the effect of flow on interfacial chemistry [D. Lis et al., Science 344, 1138 (2014)].

Estimating Gene Interactions Using Information Theoretic Functionals
Creators: name: Chan, Georgia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: With an abundance of data resulting from high-throughput technologies, like DNA microarrays, a race has been on the last few years, to determine the structures and functions of genes and their products, the proteins. Inference of gene interactions, lies in the core of these efforts. In all this activity, three important research issues have emerged. First, in much of the current literature on gene regulatory networks, dependencies among variables in our case genes - are assumed to be linear in nature, when in fact, in real-life scenarios this is seldom the case. This disagreement leads to systematic deviation and biased evaluation. Secondly, although the problem of undersampling, features in every piece of work as one of the major causes for poor results, in practice it is overlooked and rarely addressed explicitly. Finally, inference of network structures, although based on rigid mathematical foundations and computational optimizations, often displays poor fitness values and biologically unrealistic link structures, due - to a large extend - to the discovery of pairwise only interactions. In our search for robust, nonlinear measures of dependency, we advocate that mutual information and related information theoretic functionals (conditional mutual information, total correlation) are possibly the most suitable candidates to capture both linear and nonlinear interactions between variables, and resolve higher order dependencies. To address these issues, we researched and implemented under a common framework, a selection nonparametric estimators of mutual information for continuous variables. The focus of their assessment was, their robustness to the limited sample sizes and their expansibility to higher dimensions - important for the detection of more complex interaction structures. Two different assessment scenaria were performed, one with simulated data and one with bootstrapping the estimators in state-of-the-art network inference algorithms and monitor their predictive power and sensitivity. The tests revealed that, in small sample size regimes, there is a significant difference in the performance of different estimators, and naive methods such as uniform binning, gave consistently poor results compared with more sophisticated methods. Finally, a custom, modular mechanism is proposed, for the inference of gene interactions, targeting the identi cation of some of the most common substructures in genetic networks, that we believe will help improve accuracy and predictability scores.

description: A novel mechanism of prompt nuclear fragmentation is proposed. Assuming micro-canonical or canonical equilibrium, it is shown that a strong enhancement of the accessible phase space volume, due to the diffuceness of the nuclear surface, leads to dynamical instabilities of hot nuclei and to prompt fragmentation. Equations are derived for the transition temperature T_T, for which the thermodynamical surface tension vanishes, as well as for the thermodynamical fissility parameter chi_td.

Discovering new kinds of patient safety incidents
Creators: name: Bentham, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Every year, large numbers of patients in National Health Service (NHS) care suffer because of a patient safety incident. The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) collects large amounts of data describing individual incidents. As well as being described by categorical and numerical variables, each incident is described using free text. The aim of the work was to find quite small groups of similar incidents, which were of types that were previously unknown to the NPSA. A model of the text was produced, such that the position of each incident reflected its meaning to the greatest extent possible. The basic model was the vector space model. Dimensionality reduction was carried out in two stages: unsupervised dimensionality reduction was carried out using principal component analysis, and supervised dimensionality reduction using linear discriminant analysis. It was then possible to look for groups of incidents that were more tightly packed than would be expected given the overall distribution of the incidents. The process for assessing these groups had three stages. Firstly, a quantitative measure was used, allowing a large number of parameter combinations to be examined. The groups found for an ‘optimum’ parameter combination were then divided into categories using a qualitative filtering method. Finally, clinical experts assessed the groups qualitatively. The transition probabilities model was also examined: this model was based on the empirical probabilities that two word sequences were seen in the text. An alternative method for dimensionality reduction was to use information about the subjective meaning of a small sample of incidents elicited from experts, producing a mapping between high and low dimensional models of the text. The analysis also included the direct use of the categorical variables to model the incidents, and empirical analysis of the behaviour of high dimensional spaces.
Multi-body spherically symmetric steady states of Newtonian self-gravitating elastic matter

description: We study the problem of static, spherically symmetric, self-gravitating elastic matter distributions in Newtonian gravity. To this purpose we first introduce a new definition of homogeneous, spherically symmetric (hyper)elastic body in Euler coordinates, i.e., in terms of matter fields defined on the current physical state of the body. We show that our definition is equivalent to the classical one existing in the literature and which is given in Lagrangian coordinates, i.e., in terms of the deformation of the body from a given reference state. After a number of well-known examples of constitutive functions of elastic bodies are re-defined in our new formulation, a detailed study of the Seth model is presented. For this type of material the existence of single and multi-body solutions is established.

Chlamydia trachomatis: quantification, immunological investigation and co-infection with HIV-1
Creators: name: Broadbent, Andrew James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Three aspects of Chlamydia trachomatis translational research were explored in this thesis. Firstly, as over 75% of patients with LGV are also HIV-1 sero-positive, a cell-culture model was established to investigate whether HIV-1 altered the replication of C. trachomatis serovar L2 in vitro. Inclusion size was significantly increased in the presence of HIV-1, but there was no significant alteration in chlamydial growth kinetics, infectivity, morphology, or transcription of 16sRNA, ompA or euo, suggesting that viral co-infection did not induce chlamydial persistence. It is, therefore, unlikely that the association of HIV-1 and LGV in vivo is due to an impact of HIV-1 on chlamydial replication in co-infected cells. Secondly, as there is no information on the chlamydial load shed by individuals with a rectal C. trachomatis infection, a qPCR assay was developed and used to determine the number of C. trachomatis organisms per rectal swab in NAAT-positive patients. The geometric mean chlamydial load was 5.0 x 105 organisms per swab (Standard Deviation, 152) and load was associated with proctitis, but not symptoms or HIV-1 infection. Asymptomatic individuals shed as much C. trachomatis as patients with rectal symptoms and might maintain transmission in the community. Finally, an ex vivo IFN-γ ELISpot assay was developed to characterise human cellular immune responses to the C. trachomatis-specific protein, Pgp3. T-cell epitopes were found along the length of the protein, but the magnitude of the immune responses was low. The Pgp3- induced IFN-γ response correlated with C. trachomatis exposure and was dynamic, decreasing after effective treatment. These observations suggest that Pgp3- induced IFN-γ may be useful as a biomarker for current infection, although the sensitivity and specificity of the ELISpot assay need improvement.

Araecerus fasciculatus

description: This weevil, Araecerus fasciculatus (De Geer) (Coleoptera: Anthribidae),
has a pantropical distribution and is a pest of stored coffee. The adult is 3-5 mm long, dark brown, and mottled with whitish to yellowish scalelike setae and has a varied pattern and a short broad beak or rostrum. The wings are slightly shorter than the abdomen, and the three terminal segments of the antennae are thickened.
Eggs are laid singly in the parchment coffee or dried pulp if present. This stage lasts 4-7 days. The larva is a white, legless grub, similar to many weevil larvae. It initially feeds on the pulp but later perforates the bean. The larval stage lasts 33-40 days at 23°C. The pupa is white with numerous setae in the body and survives 5-11 days. Adults are dark brown. Males are 2.5-3.5 mm long and females are 3.5-4.5 mm long. Under laboratory conditions, they can live up to 115 days. They mate 4-5 days after emergence of the adults, and the females almost immediately lay eggs by inserting them into the stored coffee beans. The average number of eggs laid is 52 at a rate of three per day.
 A. fasciculatus damages stored beans, especially old coffee kept at high humidities. The adult perforates the dried coffee bean and lays eggs and then the larvae develop inside and de ­ stroy the bean completely. The main loss is the contamination of the stored coffee, which considerably reduces the commercial value.
 To control the coffee bean weevil, coffee should not be stored in wet areas. Sun drying the coffee may kill the insect since it cannot survive temperatures above 37°C. Parchment coffee with a moisture level below 12% is seldom attacked by this insect. Direct control measures include cleaning the warehouses and fumigating. Fumigation provides good control but does not eliminate the infestation of the coffee beans. Methyl bromide and ethylene dibromide are effective but are now being phased out. Natural enemies, such as the parasitoids Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard), Cephalonomia gallicola (Ashmead), and a Plastanoxus sp., are commonly found attacking the larval stages of this pest, but their impact is not sufficient for satisfac ­ tory control.

Creep and microstructure evolution in nickel superalloys
Creators: name: Coakley, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis presents work carried out to develop the understanding of microstructural evolution and the corresponding macroscopic creep that occurs in nickel superalloys at gas-turbine operating conditions. In-situ time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction creep experiments were performed in order to measure the change in lattice d-spacing of both [gamma] and [gamma]' in the CMSX-4 single crystal nickel superalloy. The loading responses of both phases are distinct. The d-spacing evolution of [gamma] and [gamma]'shows markedly different behaviour in the primary and tertiary creep regimes, suggesting different deformation mechanisms. The lattice strain evolution is interpreted in light of current dislocation theories. It is generally assumed that at gas-turbine operating temperatures, [gamma]coarsens according - R [is propotional to] 3[root]t, where -R is the mean radius and t is time. Heat-treatments were performed on samples of multimodal Ni115 to investigate this assumption. Electron microscopy was used to analyze the samples post heat-treatment, and the frequency distribution of radii was calculated. It is shown that a transient period can exist for thousands of hours, and the above coarsening rate is not valid. An existing LSW-based model is further developed to model the coarsening kinetics of a superalloy in real time and real radii for the first time, and model predictions are compared to experiment. The creep properties of different [gamma] distributions in the Ni115 nickel superalloy produced by heat-treatment were examined. At the stresses and temperatures employed it is shown that particle bypass cannot occur by cutting or bowing and so presumably occurs by a climb-glide motion. The Dyson creep model is a microstructure based climb-glide bypass model for unimodal distributions. It is developed further to account for bimodal distributions and the predictions compared to experiment. The fine [gamma], when present, controls dislocation motion, seen in both experiment and model predictions.

description: We reexamine the production of J/Psi and other charmonium states for a variety of target-projectile choices at the SPS, in particular for the interesting comparison between S+U at 200 GeV/c and Pb+Pb at 158 GeV/c as observed in the experiments NA38 and NA50 respectively. The result is a description of the NA38 and NA50 data in terms of a conventional, quasi-hadronic picture. The apparently anomalous suppression found in the most massive Pb+Pb system arises in the present simulation from three sources: destruction in the initial nucleon-nucleon cascade phase, 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.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Integrability and Seiberg-Witten Exact Solution

description: The exact Seiberg-Witten (SW) description of the light sector in the $N=2$ SUSY $4d$ Yang-Mills theory is reformulated in terms of integrable systems and appears to be a Gurevich-Pitaevsky (GP) solution to the elliptic Whitham equations. We consider this as an implication that dynamical mechanism behind the SW solution is related to integrable systems on the moduli space of instantons. We emphasize the role of the Whitham theory as a possible substitute of the renormalization-group approach to the construction of low-energy effective actions.

Polar group exchange receptor-ligand engineering of protein kinase B's pleckstrin homology domain
Creators: name: Cooper, Samuel John
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: A diverse range of cellular functions are influenced by the activity of protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt). PKB is involved in a number of physiological pathways, perturbation of which can lead to pathological conditions. PKB activation has been shown to involve binding of its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generated on the inner face of the plasma membrane upon receipt of an external hormonal signal. To study PKB independently of other inositol-phospholipid binding proteins which recognise the same lipid signals, their mutual dependence on the same ligand must be broken. It is proposed that this can be achieved by mutating PKB‟s PtdInsPn binding PH domain to accept an unnatural ligand. By altering the inositol-phospholipid head-group to include an additional carboxylic acid substituent, its binding to the wild-type PH domains should be inhibited through steric compression. Disruption of a salt-bridge in the wall of the binding pocket by point mutation of glutamate 17 to alanine, E17A, introduces an additional positively charged pocket into the PH domain of PKB, which should bind with the tailored lipid, resulting in a polar group exchange receptor-ligand pair. To this end, a novel 2-O-acetic acid functionalised analogue of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was synthesised. The key steps were the protection/deprotection of myo-inositol‟s hydroxyls, enabling selective functionalisation of the 2-hydroxyl, and phosphorylation of the 1,3,4,5-O positions. Using an allyl ether as a masked form of acetic acid allowed a divergent synthetic strategy to be employed to access additional 2-O analogues. Both the wild-type and the E17A mutant of the PH domain were expressed in order to assess ligand binding, and determine whether an ion pair exchange receptor-ligand interaction occurred. Intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence spectrometry was initially used, but was unsuccessful due to denaturing problems arising from isolating the protein. Isothermal titration calorimetry suggested binding, but protein concentration could not be increased high enough for the binding energy to become significantly greater than the energy of mixing. The analogues were also tested as potential inositol poly-phosphate phosphatase catalytic (IPPc) domain inhibitors.

description: The canonical quantization of the topological particle is described; it is shown that BRST quantization of the model gives the supersymmetric quantum mechanical model considered by Witten when investigating Morse theory, and the rigorous path integral method appropriate for this model is discussed. Possibilities for the extension of this work to two dimensional models are briefly considered.

description: The damping of collective rotational motion is studied microscopically, making use of shell model calculations based on the cranked Nilsson deformed mean-field and on residual two-body interactions, and focusing on the shape of the gamma-gamma correlation spectra and on its systematic behavior. It is shown that the spectral shape is directly related to the damping width of collective rotation, \Gammarot, and to the spreading width of many-particle many-hole configurations, \Gammamu. The rotational damping width is affected by the shell structure, and is very sensitive to the position of the Fermi surface, besides mass number, spin and deformation. This produces a rich variety of features in the rotational damping phenomena.

Phase transition by curvature in three dimensional $O(N)$ sigma model
Creators: name: Song, Dae-Yup

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the effective potential, the large-$N$ nonlinear $O(N)$ sigma model with the curvature coupled term is studied on $S^2\times R^1$. We show that, for the conformally coupled case, the dynamical mass generation of the model in the strong-coupled regime on $R^3$ takes place for any finite scalar curvature (or radius of the $S^2$). If the coupling constant is larger than that of the conformally coupled case, there exist a critical curvature (radius) above (below) which the dynamical mass generation does not take place even in the strong-coupled regime. Below the critical curvature, the mass generation occurs as in the model on $R^3$.

Towards large-scale modelling of fluid flow in fractured porous media
Creators: name: Maghami Nick, Hamidreza
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: To date, the complexity of fractured porous media still precludes the direct incorporation of small-scale features into field-scale modelling. These features, however, can be instrumental in shaping and triggering coarsening instabilities and other forms of emergent behaviour which need to be considered on the field-scale. Here we develop numerical simulation methods for this purpose and demonstrate their improved performance in single-and two-phase flow simulations with models of fractured porous media. Material discontinuities in fractured porous media strongly influence single-and multi-phase fluid flow. When continuum methods are used to model transport across such interfaces, they smear out jump discontinuities of concentration or saturation. To overcome this drawback, we “explode” hybrid finite-element node-centred finite-volume models along these introducing complementary finite-volumes along the material interfaces. With this embedded discontinuity discretization we develop a transport scheme that realistically represents the dependent variable discontinuities arising at these interfaces. The main advantage of this new scheme is its ability to honour the flow effects that we know that these discontinuities have in physical experiments. We have also developed a new time-stepping control scheme for the transport equation. It allows the user to specify the volume fraction of the model in which he/she is prepared to relax the CFL condition. This scheme is applied in a study of the impact of fracture pattern development on solute transport. These two-dimensional simulations quantify the effect of the fractures on macro-scale dispersion in geomechanically generated fracture geometries, as opposed to stochastically generated ones. Among other insights, the results indicate that fracture density, fracture spacing, and the fracture-matrix flux ratio control anomalous mass transport in such media. We also find that it is crucial to embed discontinuities into large-scale models of heterogeneous porous media.
