description: Weak pion production off the nucleon at low energies has been systematically investigated in manifestly relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory with explicit inclusion of the $Δ$(1232) resonance. Most of the involved low-energy constants have been previously determined in other processes such as pion-nucleon elastic scattering and electromagnetic pion production off the nucleon. For numerical estimates, the few remaining constants are set to be of natural size. As a result, the total cross sections for single pion production on neutrons and protons, induced either by neutrino or antineutrino, are predicted. Our results are consistent with the scarce existing experimental data except in the $ν_μn\to μ^-nπ^+$ channel, where higher-order contributions might still be significant. The $Δ$ resonance mechanisms lead to sizeable contributions in all channels, especially in $ν_μp\to μ^- pπ^+$, even though the considered energies are close to the production threshold. The present study provides a well founded low-energy benchmark for phenomenological models aimed at the description of weak pion production processes in the broad kinematic range of interest for current and future neutrino-oscillation experiments.

description: It is very important to improve the electrical conductivity of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) which can widen their application. In this work, a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation is adopted to investigate the effect of the nanoparticle (NP) functionalization on the formation of the conductive network under the quiescent state or under the shear field, which is denoted by the conductive probability. First, the dispersion state of NPs is characterized which varies from the contact aggregation, the relatively uniform dispersion to the local bridging structure via one polymer layer with the increase of the functionalization degree α. Corresponding to it, the percolation threshold of PNCs exhibits a continuous decrease with the increase of α under the quiescent state which reflects the high conductive probability. However, the percolation threshold shows a weak increase under the shear field. Thus, the α decides whether the conductive probability increases or decreases under the shear field. The smallest change in the percolation threshold appears at the moderate α which reflects the highest conductive stability. Especially, even though the dispersion state of NPs is different for α≥0.2, the percolation threshold is similar under the shear field. The connection mode among NPs is considered to determine the formation of the conductive network. In summary, this work can help to understand how the NP functionalization affects the electrical conductivity of PNCs.

A Stone is a logic-driven module that activates when a trigger occurs  such as a user action, event, signal, or condition. Alongside the trigger, it takes in context, such as current inputs, environment, memory state, or timing. Both trigger and context feed into the Stone Logic Core, which holds the rules, algorithms, or decision pathways. From there, the Stone can either enter a processing path (where it adapts, evolves, or performs an action) or return to a dormant state, waiting for the next trigger. This cyclical, self-contained structure makes a Stone adaptable, reusable, and able to operate without external dependency  applying the same abstract framework to AI, software tools, physical systems, or decision-making engines.

Detecting and tracking people in real-time

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The problem of detecting and tracking people in images and video has been the subject of a great deal of research, but remains a challenging task. Being able to detect and track people would have an impact in a number of fields, such as driverless vehicles, automated surveillance, and human-computer interaction. The difficulties that must be overcome include coping with variations in appearance between different people, changes in lighting, and the ability to detect people across multiple scales. As well as having high accuracy, it is desirable for a technique to evaluate an image with low latency between receiving the image and producing a result. This thesis explores methods for detecting and tracking people in images and video. Techniques are implemented on a desktop computer, with an emphasis on low latency. The problem of detection is examined first. The well established integral channel features detector is introduced and reimplemented, and various novelties are implemented in regards to the features used by the detector. Results are given to quantify the accuracy and the speed of the developed detectors on the INRIA person dataset. The method is further extended by examining the prospect of using multiple classifiers in conjunction. It is shown that using a classifier with a version of the same classifier reflected in the vertical axis can improve performance. A novel method for clustering images of people to find modes of appearance is also presented. This involves using boosting classifiers to map a set of images to vectors, to which K-means clustering is applied. Boosting classifiers are then trained on these clustered datasets to create sets of multiple classifiers, and it is demonstrated that these sets of classifiers can be evaluated on images with only a small increase in the running time over single classifiers. The problem of single target tracking is addressed using the mean shift algorithm. Mean shift tracking works by finding the best colour match for a target from frame to frame. A novel form of mean shift tracking through scale is developed, and the problem of multiple target tracking is addressed by using boosting classifiers in conjunction with Kalman filters. Tests are carried out on the CAVIAR dataset, which gives representative examples of surveillance scenarios, to show the performance of the proposed approaches.

description: The single vector-like top partner hadroproduction in association with top quark in the five and the six-flavour schemes at the LHC is investigated. The inclusive cross section and the differential distributions are evaluated for many benchmark scenarios at leading and next-to-leading orders, both for fixed-order and fixed-order matched to parton shower. The associated Higgs production with a top quark pair, where the final state arises from the decay of the vector-like top partner into a Higgs boson and a top quark, is examined.

description: The X-ray light curve and broad band spectral properties of the millisecond X-ray pulsar/burster SAX J1808.4-3658 are reported. In the course of RXTE observations in April--May 1998 the 3--150 keV luminosity of the source decreased by a factor of ~100 from the peak value of ~9E36 erg/s (for a 4 kpc distance). However, the spectrum was remarkably stable and maintained a roughly power law shape with a photon index of ~2 without a strong high energy cut-off below 100 keV, similar to that sometimes observed in the low spectral state of X-ray bursters. An approximation of the averaged spectrum with an exponentially cut-off power law with a superimposed reflected component yields the 90% lower limit on the e-folding energy ~270 keV. We speculate that Comptonization on the bulk motion in the radiation dominated shock might be a possible mechanism of spectral formation. The decaying part of the X-ray light curve was cut off abruptly at luminosity ~few 1E35 erg/s. Such behavior might be due to centrifugal inhibition of accretion (transition to the ``propeller'' regime) as well as to disk instability. In either case an upper limit on the neutron star magnetic field strength is B < few 1E7 Gauss.

Statistical and numerical methods for diffusion processes with multiple scales
Creators: name: Krumscheid, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis we address the problem of data-driven coarse-graining, i.e. the process of inferring simplified models, which describe the evolution of the essential characteristics of a complex system, from available data (e.g. experimental observation or simulation data). Specifically, we consider the case where the coarse-grained model can be formulated as a stochastic differential equation. The main part of this work is concerned with data-driven coarse-graining when the underlying complex system is characterised by processes occurring across two widely separated time scales. It is known that in this setting commonly used statistical techniques fail to obtain reasonable estimators for parameters in the coarse-grained model, due to the multiscale structure of the data. To enable reliable data-driven coarse-graining techniques for diffusion processes with multiple time scales, we develop a novel estimation procedure which decisively relies on combining techniques from mathematical statistics and numerical analysis. We demonstrate, both rigorously and by means of extensive simulations, that this methodology yields accurate approximations of coarse-grained SDE models. In the final part of this work, we then discuss a systematic framework to analyse and predict complex systems using observations. Specifically, we use data-driven techniques to identify simple, yet adequate, coarse-grained models, which in turn allow to study statistical properties that cannot be investigated directly from the time series. The value of this generic framework is exemplified through two seemingly unrelated data sets of real world phenomena.

description: The usual multipolar Hamiltonian for atom-light interaction features a non-relativistic moving atom interacting with electromagnetic fields which inherently follow Lorentzian symmetry. This combination can lead to situations where atoms appear to experience a friction force, when in fact they only change their internal mass-energy due to the emission or absorption of a photon. Unfortunately the simple Galilean description of the atom's motion is not sufficient to distinguish between a change in momentum due to acceleration and a change in momentum due to a change in internal mass-energy. In this work we show how a low-order relativistic correction can be included in the multipolar atom-light Hamiltonian. We also give examples how this affects the most basic mechanical interactions between atoms and photons.

The less significant role of large-scale environment than optical AGN in nearby, isolated elliptical galaxies

description: The formation and evolution of elliptical galaxies in low-density environments are less understood than classical elliptical galaxies in high-density environments. Isolated galaxies are defined as galaxies without massive neighbors within scales of galaxy groups. The effect of the environment at several Mpc scales on their properties has been barely explored. Here we study the role of large-scale environment in some physical properties of 573 isolated elliptical galaxies out to z=0.08. We use three environmental estimators of the large-scale structure within a projected radius of 5 Mpc around isolated galaxies: the tidal strength parameter, the projected density eta_k, and the distance to the fifth nearest neighbor galaxy. We find 80% of galaxies at lower densities correspond to 'red and dead' elliptical galaxies. Blue and red galaxies do not tend to be located in different environments according to eta_k. Almost all the isolated ellipticals in the densest large-scale environments are red or quenched, where a third of them are low-mass galaxies. The percentage of isolated elliptical galaxies located in the AGN region of the BPT diagram is 64%. We have identified 33 blue, star-forming isolated ellipticals using both color and sSFR. Half of them are star-forming nuclei in the BPT diagram, which is 5% of the galaxies in this diagram. The large-scale environment is not playing the primary role to determine the color or sSFR of isolated elliptical galaxies. The large-scale environment seems to be negligible from a stellar mass scale around 10^10.6 Msun, probably because of the dominant presence of AGN at higher masses. For lower masses, the processes of cooling and infall of gas from large scales are very inefficient in ellipticals. AGN might also be an essential ingredient to keep most of the low-mass isolated elliptical galaxies quenched.

Adaptive robot body learning and estimation through predictive coding

Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The predictive functions that permit humans to infer their body state by sensorimotor integration are critical to perform safe interaction in complex environments. These functions are adaptive and robust to non-linear actuators and noisy sensory information. This paper introduces a computational perceptual model based on predictive processing that enables any multisensory robot to learn, infer and update its body configuration when using arbitrary sensors with Gaussian additive noise. The proposed method integrates different sources of information (tactile, visual and proprioceptive) to drive the robot belief to its current body configuration. The motivation is to enable robots with the embodied perception needed for self-calibration and safe physical human-robot interaction. We formulate body learning as obtaining the forward model that encodes the sensor values depending on the body variables, and we solve it by Gaussian process regression. We model body estimation as minimizing the discrepancy between the robot body configuration belief and the observed posterior. We minimize the variational free energy using the sensory prediction errors (sensed vs expected). In order to evaluate the model we test it on a real multisensory robotic arm. We show how different sensor modalities contributions, included as additive errors, improve the refinement of the body estimation and how the system adapts itself to provide the most plausible solution even when injecting strong sensory visuo-tactile perturbations. We further analyse the reliability of the model when different sensor modalities are disabled. This provides grounded evidence about the correctness of the perceptual model and shows how the robot estimates and adjusts its body configuration just by means of sensory information.

Development and application of multiplexed fluorescence imaging to chemotaxis signalling pathways
Creators: name: Warren, Sean
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis discusses the development of time resolved fluorescence imaging techniques and their use in the study of cellular signalling pathways, in particular the ability to perform multiplexed imaging of a number of pathways in live cells. These techniques are applied to investigate chemotaxis, the ability of cells to migrate directionally in response to a chemoattractant gradient, which requires precise spatiotemporal coordination of signalling events. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is widely applied to obtain quantitative information from fluorescence signals, particularly using Förster Resonant Energy Transfer (FRET) biosensors to map protein-protein interactions in live cells. The development of a software tool for the global analysis of large FLIM datasets is presented which allows simultaneous analysis of hundreds of FLIM images in minutes and the use of complex models, for example a four-exponential model of an ECFP FRET system, with relatively low photon-count data. Live cell imaging with optimised FRET biosensors is used to investigate the role of Phospholipase C epsilon (PLCε) in fibroblast chemotaxis. It is demonstrated that PLCε-null fibroblasts show a compromised chemotactic response to platelet derived growth factor and spatial defects in Rac1 activation and phosphoinositide signalling. The ability to image multiple functional reporters simultaneously in a single cell is desirable when investigating complex signalling networks with significant cross-talk such as chemotaxis. A number of approaches for multiplexed measurements are investigated, in particular using homo-FRET between two spectrally identical fluorophores, which presents a promising approach to reduce the spectral bandwidth compared to conventional hetero-FRET biosensors. The optimisation and automation of a to perform multiplexed time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy imaging of homo-FRET biosensors is discussed. The development and multiplexed imaging of homo-FRET reporters for phosphoinositide signalling using a polarisation resolved confocal time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) microscope is presented. Potential approaches for multiplexed imaging three functional reporters are discussed.

Microwave-based controlled quantum dynamics in trapped ions
Creators: name: Mikelsons, Gatis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The key research aim of the present thesis is the building of a universal set of quantum gates for a long wavelength trapped-ion quantum information processor. It is desired to realise quantum computation using microwave and radio wave sources in a linear ion trap, where a static magnetic field gradient has been added to enhance motional and atomic state coupling. Furthermore, the qubit is constructed with the intrinsic use of superposition states generated with the help of constant microwave fields in the background: dressed states. This technique is essential for the shielding of the quantum operations against the unavoidable effects of magnetic noise. After reviewing the preliminary results and discussing briefly an auxiliary experimental technique intrinsic to the set-up, we introduce the magnetic gradient coupling and the dressed state scheme. We then proceed to illustrate how single and multi-qubit gates can be realised within such a system. Theoretical arguments are supplemented by numerical simulation and sources of experimental noise are taken into account.

description: The outstanding species richness of Amazonia has fascinated biologists for centuries. However, the records of actual numbers and distribution of species forming its ecosystems are so incomplete that the understanding of the historical causes and regional determinants of this diversity remain speculative. Anuran clades have repeatedly been documented to harbour many unnamed species in this region, notably the Boana albopunctata species group. Considering the documented distribution and the ecology of the species of that group, we hypothesized that it diversified via successive trans-riverine dispersals during the late Miocene and Pliocene, after the formation of the modern Amazon watershed. To test this hypothesis, we gathered an extensive dataset of 16S rDNA sequences sampled throughout Amazonia and a mitogenomic dataset representative of the diversity of the clade to (1) re-evaluate species boundaries and distributions, and (2) infer the spatio-temporal history of diversification within Amazonia. We delimited 14 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) in an Amazonian clade, i.e., 75% higher than currently recognized (14 OTUs for eight described species). Combining molecular data with morphological and acoustic data, two new species, Boana courtoisae sp. nov. from the eastern Guiana Shield and Boana eucharis sp. nov. from Southern Amazonia, are described herein. These species belong to a clade that diversified throughout Amazonia during the last 10 Ma, thus more recently than co-distributed small terrestrial anurans but concomitantly with other more vagile vertebrates. Our time-scaled phylogeny and biogeographic analyses suggest an initial east-west divergence and confirm reciprocal trans-riverine dispersals during the last 5 Ma. The geomorphological evolution of the region and species-specific dispersal ability largely explain these distinct spatio-temporal patterns across anurans. http://www.zoobank.org/zoobank.org:act:4F8ACA9F-F6F1-4605-BD6C-6D4650AACCBE http://www.zoobank.org/zoobank.org:act:51CC7B40-2D6B-4A9E-AF50-AB34D4CE1042

description: Herbaria are renowned as collections of specimens for research in plant taxonomy, plant identification and more recently in plant phylogenetics. The production of Floras and monographs in herbaria is fundamental to the understanding of plant taxonomy and plant biogeography. Herbaria have played an important role in providing the raw geographic data behind plant species distributions which form the basis of the most commonly used biodiversity metric: species richness. Less well recognised is the potential for using comprehensive species checklists, produced by herbaria, as a sampling frame when projecting biodiversity metrics. Functional diversity metrics derived from plant trait values are growing in importance in biodiversity monitoring; however, it is unclear whether the trait-based functional attributes are responsive to changes in species richness in all geographic areas. Modelling of the spatial distribution of trait values is one way to investigate the limits of biodiversity monitoring reliant on trait values. The research outputs of herbaria are arguably an untapped resource of such trait data. Greater digitisation of published Flora treatments as well as continuing digitisation of herbarium specimens is increasingly making these resources more available. With appropriate methods to ameliorate known biases in the species locality and plant trait data held by herbaria, these institutions can play an important role in building spatial models of plant trait distributions. Such models help to establish the relationships between species richness and plant functional diversity metrics in different biomes required for trait-led biodiversity monitoring. Here we present a six-step method to allow data held by herbaria to be used to establish a spatial model of functional diversity metrics at a continental scale.

description: In the framework of the relativistic quantum molecular dynamics approach ({\small RQMD}) we investigate antideuteron ($\overline{d}$) observables in Au+Au collisions at 10.7~AGeV. The impact parameter dependence of the formation ratios $\overline{d}/\overline{p}^2$ and ${d}/{p}^2$ is calculated. In central collisions, the antideuteron formation ratio is predicted to be two orders of magnitude lower than the deuteron formation ratio. The $\overline{d}$ yield in central Au+Au collisions is one order of magnitude lower than in Si+Al collisions. In semicentral collisions different configuration space distributions of $\overline{p}$'s and $\overline{d}$'s lead to a large ``squeeze--out'' effect for antideuterons, which is not predicted for the $\overline{p}$'s.

description: Containers are becoming the de facto standard to package and deploy applications and micro-services in the cloud. Several cloud providers (e.g., Amazon, Google, Microsoft) begin to offer native support on their infrastructure by integrating container orchestration tools within their cloud offering. At the same time, the security guarantees that containers offer to applications remain questionable. Customers still need to trust their cloud provider with respect to data and code integrity. The recent introduction by Intel of Software Guard Extensions (SGX) into the mass market offers an alternative to developers, who can now execute their code in a hardware-secured environment without trusting the cloud provider. This paper provides insights regarding the support of SGX inside Kubernetes, an industry-standard container orchestrator. We present our contributions across the whole stack supporting execution of SGX-enabled containers. We provide details regarding the architecture of the scheduler and its monitoring framework, the underlying operating system support and the required kernel driver extensions. We evaluate our complete implementation on a private cluster using the real-world Google Borg traces. Our experiments highlight the performance trade-offs that will be encountered when deploying SGX-enabled micro-services in the cloud.

Ionic liquid thermal stability: implications for cellulose regeneration
Creators: name: Clough, Matthew Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: During the course of the past twenty years, the applications of contemporary ionic liquids have become increasingly widespread and varied; as solvents or catalysts for sustainable synthetic processes, as battery electrolytes, and for the dissolution and deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass. These ionic liquid-assisted procedures frequently operate at high temperatures, therefore a comprehensive understanding of ionic liquid thermal stability is of great practical value. It has been demonstrated that ionic liquids incorporating carboxylate anions are capable of dissolving a substantial quantity of cellulose, the world’s most abundant bio-renewable resource. The thermal stabilities of carboxylate ionic liquids are thoroughly characterised in this contribution, employing a broad range of experimental and computational methods. The impact of structural modification of the cation/anion on thermal stability is evaluated, and the prevailing thermal decomposition mechanisms are elucidated. Subsequently, the reactivity and decomposition pathways of cellulose and carbohydrate model compounds, dissolved in carboxylate ionic liquids, are uncovered. Thermal stabilities of carboxylate ionic liquids are found to be highly sensitive to relatively modest changes in the ion chemical structure (e.g. via fluorination or substitution of sulfur into the carboxylate group), and the experimental conditions. Furthermore, the prevailing thermal decomposition mechanisms are dependant on the electronic and steric properties of the ions. Crucially, the prototypical carboxylate ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate is susceptible to transient and reversible formation of an N-Heterocyclic Carbene species through abstraction of the ring C2 proton, enabled by the basicity of the anion. This ‘non-innocent’ behaviour of carboxylate ionic liquids is critical in initiating a sequence of undesirable degradation pathways with dissolved carbohydrates, yielding imidazolium-derived adducts bearing hydroxyalkyl substituents. Strikingly, the analogous ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride does not initiate the unwanted series of reactions, yet is capable of dissolving a significant quantity of cellulose.
Modelling of soot formation and aromatic growth in laminar flames and reactor systems

description: Soot particles formed and emitted from (e.g.) direct-injected diesel engines are dangerous to human health and legislative measures used to reduce emis- sions pose a technical challenge for manufacturers. Models of soot formation and oxidation may therefore be useful tools for developing engines and con- trol strategies. In the present work, a sectional soot model able to reproduce the soot particle size distribution (PSD) is applied to laminar premixed and diffusion flames as well as a reactor system. The soot PSDs in laminar premixed stagnation flow flames were found to be sensitive to the coagula- tion collision efficiency and a novel model was developed. The soot model under-predicted soot volume fraction levels when applied to a set of laminar ethylene and propane counter-flow diffusion flames and a sensitivity anal- ysis suggested further assessment of the formation of poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) was needed. The chemical reaction mechanism was subsequently assessed using species measurements from a laminar premixed benzene flame and selected parts of the reaction mechanism reviewed. Rea- sonable agreement was obtained, including for formation of PAHs. However, non-existing or insufficient oxidation paths of some PAH species, including pyrene, may contribute to over-predictions by the soot model during non- sooting conditions. Formation of PAHs in a laminar ethylene counter-flow diffusion flame was investigated next. The agreement between calculations and measurements was found to be reasonable for major, minor and single ring aromatic species. However, the calculated concentrations of all PAH species are under-predicted. The under-prediction of pyrene is comparable to the under-prediction of the soot volume fraction in some of the diffusion flames previously investigated, making the uncertainty of the PAH chem- istry a possible explanation. Future soot modelling research should therefore focus on investigating the PAH chemistry for different types of flames and fuels.

description: The differential cross-section of inelastic coherent diffractive dissociation off nuclei $p~+~^4$He $\rightarrow X ~+ ~^4$He is expressed in terms of the relative cumulants of the cross-section distribution $P_N(σ)$. The theoretical result for the ratio $r=\Bigg(\frac{dσ_{diff}}{dt}\Bigg)^{pHe}_{t=0} \Bigg/ \Bigg(\frac{dσ_{diff}}{dt}\Bigg)^{pp}_{t=0}=6.8 ÷7.6$ is close to the value $r=7.1 \pm 0.75$ which we extracted from the FNAL data. These are the only $A>2$ data of this kind. The comparison provides the first confirmation of the cross-section fluctuation approach to the description of the absolute value of the inelastic diffraction cross-section off nuclei. It provides also a new constraint on the first 4 cumulants of the cross-section distribution.

description: Les objectifs de ces campagnes ARCADINO étaient de décrire les conditions hydrodynamiques, les concentrations en sels nutritifs et les répartitions spatiales de plancton toxique devant le bassin d'Arcachon. Compte tenu des périodes possibles d'apparition, les périodes ciblées s'étendent du mois de mars au mois d'aout. Pour privilégier le suivi temporel, plusieurs courtes campagnes ont été organisées. L'étendu spatiale des investigations a évolué au cours des années. Alors qu'en 2007, les campagnes ont consisté en 3 radiales côte-large, elles se sont étendues à l'ensemble du plateau aquitain en 2009 (figure 1).Figure 1 : Plan d'échantillonnage des campagnes selon les années.
