Mechanisms of High Temperature Degradation of Thermal Barrier Coatings.
Creators: name: Wu, Rudder T.C.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are crucial for increasing the turbine inlet temperature (and hence efficiency) of gas turbine engines. The thesis describes PhD research aimed at improving understanding of the thermal cycling failure mechanisms of electron beam physical vapour deposited (EB-PVD) yttria stabilised zirconia (YSZ) TBCs on single crystal superalloys. The research consisted of three different stages. The first stage involved designing a coupled one-dimensional thermodynamic-kinetic oxidation and diffusion model capable of predicting the concentration profiles of alloying elements in a single-phase γ nickel-rich Ni-Al-Cr ternary alloy by the finite difference method. The aim of this investigation was to improve the understanding of interactions between alloying species and developing oxide. The model demonstrated that in the early stages of oxidation, Al consumption by oxide scale growth is faster than Al replenishment by diffusion towards the scale, resulting in an initial Al depletion in the alloy near the scale. The second stage involved a systematic study of the life-time of TBC systems on different single crystal superalloys. The study aimed at demonstrating that the compatibility of modern nickel-based single crystal superalloys with TBC systems is influenced strongly by the content of alloying element additions in the superalloy substrate. The results can be explained by postulating that the fracture toughness parameters controlling decohesion are influenced strongly by small changes in composition arising from interdiffusion with the bond coat, which itself inherits elemental changes from the substrate. The final stage of study involved a detailed study of different bond coats (two β-structured Pt-Al types and a γ/γ’ Pt-diffusion type) in TBC systems based on an EB-PVD YSZ top coat and a substrate material of CMSX-4 superalloy. Generation of stress in the thermally grown oxide (TGO) on thermal cycling, and its relief by plastic deformation and fracture, were investigated experimentally in detail.

description: We study the phase diagram of the four dimensional Ising model with first and second neighbour couplings, specially in the antiferromagnetic region, by using Mean Field and Monte Carlo methods. From the later, all the transition lines seem to be first order except that between ferromagnetic and disordered phases in a region including the first-neighbour Ising transition point.

description: We find the combinations of momentum and domain-wall charges corresponding to BPS states preserving 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of D=4 N=1 supersymmetry, and we show how the supersymmetry algebra implies their stability. These states form the boundary of the convex cone associated with the Jordan algebra of $4\times 4$ real symmetric matrices, and we explore some implications of the associated geometry. For the Wess-Zumino model we derive the conditions for preservation of 1/4 supersymmetry when one of two parallel domain-walls is rotated and in addition show that this model does not admit any classical configurations with 3/4 supersymmetry. Our analysis also provides information about BPS states of N=1 D=4 anti-de Sitter supersymmetry.

description: The general formulation of a technically advantageous method to find the ground state solution of the Schrodinger equation in configuration space for systems with a number of particles A greater than 4 is presented. The wave function is expanded in pair correlated hyperspherical harmonics beyond the lowest order approximation and then calculated in the Faddeev approach. A recent efficient recursive method to construct antisymmetric A-particle hyperspherical harmonics is used. The accuracy is tested for the bound state energies of nuclei with A = 6,8,12. The high quality of the obtained results becomes evident from a comparison with other approaches.

Flames Featuring Ignition - Extinction: Stochastic Modelling for the Prediction of Finite Rate Chemistry Effects
Creators: name: Gkagkas, Konstantinos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: The current thesis presents a numerical study of steady and unsteady turbulent reacting flows. The flow is calculated using Finite Volume based parabolic and elliptic flow solvers. A transported probability density function (pdf) approach, closed at the joint–scalar level, is used for the inclusion of the thermochemistry. A common characteristic of all the studied cases are the strong finite rate chemistry effects which govern the flow. Two experimentally well documented turbulent lifted flames were computed in order to explore the detailed thermochemical flow structure and to reduce uncertainties associated with the chemical kinetics. The effect of the applied detailed chemistry and its subsequent simplification on the calculated thermochemical structure was also quantified. The two cases feature fuel jets of methane or hydrogen issuing into a vitiated, high temperature coflow. Molecular mixing is closed using the modified Curl’s mixing model and two algebraic closures are considered for the closure of the mixing frequency. More complex flow patterns are considered through the calculation of bluff body stabilised flames. These flames feature a recirculation region and a neck zone of high strain rates, where significant levels of local extinction are found. The transported pdf method captures the local extinction and can predict the pollutant formation with high accuracy. The standard mixing frequency closure leads to over– prediction of local extinction, while an algebraic extension leads to improved predictions. When the flame is close to global extinction, strong instabilities occur, which lead to questions regarding the use of a two–dimensional approach. For this reason, a three– dimensional computational tool was developed and validated using both presumed and transported pdf methods for the representation of the thermochemistry.

description: We prove a theorem for coding mixed-state quantum signals. For a class of coding schemes, the von Neumann entropy $S$ of the density operator describing an ensemble of mixed quantum signal states is shown to be equal to the number of spin-$1/2$ systems necessary to represent the signal faithfully. This generalizes previous works on coding pure quantum signal states and is analogous to the Shannon's noiseless coding theorem of classical information theory. We also discuss an example of a more general class of coding schemes which {\em beat} the limit set by our theorem.

Investigation of the mechanisms of estrogen receptor activation by phosphorylation
Creators: name: Halliday, Amy Catherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Breast cancer growth is estrogen- regulated in many cases. Estrogen actions are mediated by estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ. Whilst the involvement of ERβ in breast cancer is unresolved at present, up to 80% of breast tumours are ERα- positive and likely to respond to endocrine therapies, such as anti-estrogens. However, a substantial proportion of patients develop a resistance to such treatments. Most resistant tumours continue to express ERα and many will respond to an alternative hormonal therapy, indicating that ERα continues to be important following the emergence of resistance. One proposed mechanism for endocrine resistance is post-translational modification of the ERα, particularly phosphorylation of ERα within the transcription activation domain AF1. This project investigates how the phosphorylation at residues within the AF1 domain is linked to ERα activation and tumour cell growth in the presence of tamoxifen and in the absence of ligand, by stable introduction of ERα phosphorylation site mutants in the MCF7 human breast cancer cell line, commonly used as a model for ERα-positive breast cancer. Characterisation of these lines suggests that phosphorylation at the sites within the AF1 domain of the ER increases the agonist activity of tamoxifen. Further studies to determine the mechanisms by which ERα activity is regulated by phosphorylation within AF1 are discussed.

description: Η παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία μελέτησε την επίδραση εμπορικών ζυμομυκήτων οινοποίησης στην ανάπτυξη και την κονιδιογένεση του παθογόνου μύκητα Botrytis cinerea. Λόγω του μύκητα B. cinerea, σημαντικό μέρος της παραγωγής καταστρέφεται ετησίως, καθώς προσβάλει και υποβαθμίζει ποιοτικά τις ράγες των σταφυλιών στον αμπελώνα, δημιουργώντας την τεφρή σήψη. Πλησιάζοντας προς την ωρίμανση και τη συγκομιδή των σταφυλιών, οι ράγες είναι περισσότερο επιρρεπείς στη μόλυνση από τον συγκεκριμένο μύκητα. Κατά συνέπεια, η αντιμετώπισή του κρίνεται δυσκολότερη αφού σε εκείνο το διάστημα δεν είναι δυνατή η χρήση χημικών σκευασμάτων. Υπολείμματα αυτών, είναι επικίνδυνο να εμφανιστούν και στο τελικό προϊόν. Επιπλέον, πολλές φορές ο συγκεκριμένος μύκητας παρουσιάζει ανθεκτικότητα στα χημικά σκευάσματα, γεγονός που αναγκάζει τους παραγωγούς να εναλλάσσουν τα σκευάσματα συχνά, δυσκολεύοντας την εφαρμογή. Έτσι, πολλοί ερευνητές εξετάζουν την εφαρμογή βιολογικής αντιμετώπισης, έναντι της χρήσης χημικών σκευασμάτων στους αμπελώνες. Στην παρούσα μελέτη, πραγματοποιήθηκαν in vitro δοκιμές συγκαλλιέργειας εμπορικών ζυμομυκήτων με τον μύκητα Botrytis cinerea αλλά και ex vivo πειράματα παθογένειας σε κομμένες ράγες. Για τη μελέτη επιλέχθηκαν πέντε διαφορετικά είδη ζυμομυκήτων τόσο Saccharomyces όσο και non-Saccharomyces. Διεξήχθησαν τέσσερα διαφορετικά πειράματα, εκ των οποίων τα τρία in vitro, και εξετάστηκαν (1) η επίδραση της συγκαλλιέργειας με κυττάρα ζυμομυκήτων, (2) η επίδραση των μεταβολιτών των ζυμομυκήτων και (3) η επίδραση των πτητικών ενώσεων των ζυμομυκήτων στην ανάπτυξη του και την κονιδιογένεση του μύκητα B. cinerea. Οι ex vivo δοκιμές πραγματοποιήθηκαν σε ράγες της επιτραπέζιας ποικιλίας Crimson seedless, οι οποίες αφού εμβαπτίστηκαν σε διαλύματα με υγρές καλλιέργειες των ζυμομυκήτων εμβολιάστηκαν τοπικά με αιώρημα κονιδίων του μύκητα B. cinerea με σκοπό να μελετηθεί η αποτελεσματικότητα τους στη μείωση της ασθένειας

Enhancement of HIV-1 neutralisation by modulation of the virus envelope
Creators: name: Scott, Melanie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Despite over 25 years of research, the goal of producing an HIV-1 vaccine able to prevent infection has not been realised. Due to the limited immunogenicity of HIV-1 glycoproteins in vivo, this thesis explores the use of cholesterol depletion in increasing the antigenicity and immunogenicity of an whole-inactivated HIV-1 immunogen. The primary aim was to demonstrate that cholesterol depletion of HIV-1 could enhance antibody binding and viral neutralisation. The laboratory-adapted strain, HIV-1MN, was utilised to demonstrate effective cholesterol depletion of virus using the compound methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MBCD). A range of MBCD concentrations were explored to assess the effect of removing cholesterol on viral infectivity, morphology and protein composition of the virus. A 1mM MBCD concentration, which effected a 50% reduction in viral envelope cholesterol with little impact on viral structure and protein composition whilst retaining viral infectivity, was chosen to explore the effect of cholesterol depletion on virus antibody binding and neutralisation. Removal of cholesterol from the viral envelope increased antibody binding and neutralisation using a number of monoclonal antibodies, soluble CD4 (sCD4) and HIV-1 positive patient antisera. This concept was then extended to a pseudotyped primary isolate of HIV-1. Cholesterol depletion of this isolate demonstrated a more restricted enhancement of antibody binding and neutralisation of virus by monoclonal antibodies, sCD4 and homologous and heterologous HIV-1 infected patient antisera. A number of inactivating agents were then explored in the aim of creating a cholesteroldepleted, whole inactivated HIV-1MN immunogen that retained key conformational gp160 epitopes. This immunogen was then tested in a mouse model to investigate whether cholesterol depletion could enhance the immunogenicity of whole-inactivated HIV-1MN. Although measurement of antibody responses from pooled mouse sera indicated significant enhancement of humoral responses to cholesterol-depleted, wholeinactivated HIV-1MN, analysis of individual mouse responses to immunisation yielded more variable results.

description: We study the quantum volume of D-branes wrapped around various cycles in Calabi-Yau manifolds, as the manifold's moduli are varied. In particular, we focus on the behaviour of these D-branes near phase transitions between distinct low energy physical descriptions of the resulting string theory. Whereas previous studies have solely considered quantum volumes in the context of two-cycles in perturbative string theory or D-branes in the specific example of the quintic hypersurface, we work more generally and find qualitatively new features. On the mathematical side, as we briefly note, our work has some interesting implications for certain issues in arithmetics.

description: A weighted Shiryaev-Roberts change detection procedure is shown to approximately minimize the expected delay to detection as well as higher moments of the detection delay among all change-point detection procedures with the given low maximal local probability of a false alarm within a window of a fixed length in pointwise and minimax settings for general non-i.i.d. data models and for the composite post-change hypothesis when the post-change parameter is unknown. We establish very general conditions for the models under which the weighted Shiryaev-Roberts procedure is asymptotically optimal. These conditions are formulated in terms of the rate of convergence in the strong law of large numbers for the log-likelihood ratios between the "change" and "no-change" hypotheses, and we also provide sufficient conditions for a large class of ergodic Markov processes. Examples, where these conditions hold, are given.

description: We investigate the dual superconductivity hypothesis in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We focus on the dual Meissner effect by analyzing the distribution of the color fields due to a static quark-antiquark pair. We find evidence of the dual Meissner effect both in the maximally Abelian gauge and without gauge fixing. We measure the London penetration length. Our results suggest that the London penetration length is a physical gauge-invariant quantity. We put out a simple relation between the penetration length and the square root of the string tension. We find that our extimation is quite close to the extrapolated continuum limit available in the literature. A remarkable consequence of our study is that an effective Abelian theory can account for the long range properties of the SU(2) confining vacuum.

description: Large scale molecular dynamics simulations for bidisperse nanoparticle suspensions with an explicit solvent are used to investigate the effects of evaporation rates and volume fractions on the nanoparticle distribution during drying. Our results show that ``small-on-top'' stratification can occur when ${\rm Pe}_sϕ_s \gtrsim c$ with $c\sim 1$, where ${\rm Pe}_s$ is the Péclet number and $ϕ_s$ is the volume fraction of the smaller particles. This threshold of ${\rm Pe}_sϕ_s$ for ``small-on-top'' is larger by a factor of $\simα^2$ than the prediction of the model treating solvent as an implicit viscous background, where $α$ is the size ratio between the large and small particles. Our simulations further show that when the evaporation rate of the solvent is reduced, the ``small-on-top'' stratification can be enhanced, which is not predicted by existing theories. This unexpected behavior is explained with thermophoresis associated with a positive gradient of solvent density caused by evaporative cooling at the liquid-vapor interface. For ultrafast evaporation the gradient is large and drives the nanoparticles toward the liquid/vapor interface. This phoretic effect is stronger for larger nanoparticles and consequently the ``small-on-top'' stratification becomes more distinct when the evaporation rate is slower (but not too slow such that a uniform distribution of nanoparticles in the drying film is produced), as thermophoresis that favors larger particles on the top is mitigated. A similar effect can lead to ``large-on-top'' stratification for ${\rm Pe}_sϕ_s$ above the threshold when ${\rm Pe}_s$ is large but $ϕ_s$ is small. Our results reveal the importance of including the solvent explicitly when modeling evaporation-induced particle separation and organization and point to the important role of density gradients brought about by ultrafast evaporation.

We compare our results with the available experimental data below $E_x = 20 MeV$. Excellent agreement is found when taking into account meson exchange currents, dipole and quadrupole contributions, and the full initial state interaction. There is only a small difference between the magnitudes of the cross sections for the different potentials considered. The angular distributions, however, are practically potential independent.

description: We examine the scaling of geodesic correlation functions in two-dimensional gravity and in spin systems coupled to gravity. The numerical data support the scaling hypothesis and indicate that the quantum geometry develops a non-perturbative length scale. The existence of this length scale allows us to extract a Hausdorff dimension. In the case of pure gravity we find d_H approx. 3.8, in support of recent theoretical calculations that d_H = 4. We also discuss the back-reaction of matter on the geometry.

Simulation of pore-scale flow using finite element-methods
Creators: name: Akanji, Lateef Temitope
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: I present a new finite element (FE) simulation method to simulate pore-scale flow. Within the pore-space, I solve a simplified form of the incompressible Navier-Stoke’s equation, yielding the velocity field in a two-step solution approach. First, Poisson’s equation is solved with homogeneous boundary conditions, and then the pore pressure is computed and the velocity field obtained for no slip conditions at the grain boundaries. From the computed velocity field I estimate the effective permeability of porous media samples characterized by thin section micrographs, micro-CT scans and synthetically generated grain packings. This two-step process is much simpler than solving the full Navier Stokes equation and therefore provides the opportunity to study pore geometries with hundreds of thousands of pores in a computationally more cost effective manner than solving the full Navier-Stoke’s equation. My numerical model is verified with an analytical solution and validated on samples whose permeabilities and porosities had been measured in laboratory experiments (Akanji and Matthai, 2010). Comparisons were also made with Stokes solver, published experimental, approximate and exact permeability data. Starting with a numerically constructed synthetic grain packings, I also investigated the extent to which the details of pore micro-structure affect the hydraulic permeability (Garcia et al., 2009). I then estimate the hydraulic anisotropy of unconsolidated granular packings. With the future aim to simulate multiphase flow within the pore-space, I also compute the radii and derive capillary pressure from the Young-Laplace equation (Akanji and Matthai,2010)

description: We evaluate the bremsstrahlung production of low mass dileptons and soft photons from equilibrating and transversely expanding quark gluon plasma which may be created in the wake of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We use initial conditions obtained from the self screened parton cascade model. We consider a boost invariant longitudinal and cylindrically symmetric transverse expansion of the parton plasma and find that for low mass dileptons ($M \leq 0.3$ GeV) and soft photons ($p_{T} \leq 0.5$ GeV), the bremsstrahlung contribution is rather large compared to annihilation process at both RHIC and LHC energies. We also find an increase by a factor of 15-20 in the low mass dileptons and soft photons yield as one goes from RHIC to LHC energies.

Sex dependent influences of dexamethasone exposure in utero and stress and stress hormones in adulthood on a rat model of Parkinson's disease
Creators: name: Allen, Rachel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Stress is increasingly identified as a risk factor for brain disease, but the underlying processes are unkown. This thesis examines the influence of raised levels of the glucocorticoid (GC) stress hormone at different stages of life (during late gestation and/or in adulthood) on pathways known to be altered in parkinson’s disease (PD), and compares this with the effects of repeated adult stress. Adult stress or GC treatment produced complex, differential sex and region specific changes in these pathways. Notably, adult stress or GC treatment increased markers of nirosative stress in the male but not female rat substantia nigra (SN). Prenatal GC treatment produced long term effects on both dopamineric (DA) and noradrenergic (NA) nuclei, increasing the number of DA neurons in the SN and ventral tegmental area, and reducing the number of NA neurons in the locus coeruleus of adult rats. Furthermore microglial and astrocyte populations were increased and decreased respectively in these nuclei. Interestingly prenatal GC treatment rendered the male midbrain susceptible to a down regulation of DA measures in response to adult challenge, whereby the number of SN DA neurons and striatal and accumbal DA levels were attenuated. Fascinatingly adult stress or GC treatment, but not prenatal GC treatment exacerbated 6-hydroxydopamine-induced neurotoxicity, that was associated with increased microglial activation and protein nitration in the SN, in males, but afforded neuroprotection in females, neither of which were substantially altered by prenatal treatment. This is the first study to demonstrate that prenatal GC treatment can permanentlty alter the response of the midbrain DA pathways to adult challenge. Furthermore this is one of very few studies looking at male and female responses in parallel and thus highlights some striking sex differences in the response to stress and GCs. Together these novel data strongly support the premise that stress and GCs influence the functional integrity of pathways involved in PD, thereby potentially contributing to PD pathogenesis. The data also highlight the complex sexually dimorphic nature of their actions. Although further work is required to determine the functional consequences of these stress/GC related changes, these findings may have considerable implications for the use of GCs in clinical practice.

description: Time-of-flight (ToF) imaging has become a widespread technique for depth estimation, allowing affordable off-the-shelf cameras to provide depth maps in real time. However, multipath interference (MPI) resulting from indirect illumination significantly degrades the captured depth. Most previous works have tried to solve this problem by means of complex hardware modifications or costly computations. In this work we avoid these approaches, and propose a new technique that corrects errors in depth caused by MPI that requires no camera modifications, and corrects depth in just 10 milliseconds per frame. By observing that most MPI information can be expressed as a function of the captured depth, we pose MPI removal as a convolutional approach, and model it using a convolutional neural network. In particular, given that the input and output data present similar structure, we base our network in an autoencoder, which we train in two stages: first, we use the encoder (convolution filters) to learn a suitable basis to represent corrupted range images; then, we train the decoder (deconvolution filters) to correct depth from the learned basis from synthetically generated scenes. This approach allows us to tackle the lack of reference data, by using a large-scale captured training set with corrupted depth to train the encoder, and a smaller synthetic training set with ground truth depth to train the corrector stage of the network, which we generate by using a physically-based, time-resolved rendering. We demonstrate and validate our method on both synthetic and real complex scenarios, using an off-the-shelf ToF camera, and with only the captured incorrect depth as input.

Bi-local Fields in Noncommutative Field Theory

description: We propose a bi-local representation in noncommutative field theory. It provides a simple description for high momentum degrees of freedom. It also shows that the low momentum modes can be well approximated by ordinary local fields. Long range interactions are generated in the effective action for the lower momentum modes after integrating out the high momentum bi-local fields. The low momentum modes can be represented by diagonal blocks in the matrix model picture and the high momentum bi-local fields correspond to off-diagonal blocks. This block-block interaction picture simply reproduces the infrared singular behaviors of nonplanar diagrams in noncommutative field theory.

Development of alkaline fuel cell gas diffusion cathodes using new substrate materials
Creators: name: Bidault, Fabrice
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Hydrogen, as a clean and renewable fuel, may play a key role in the near future because of the increasing cost of fossil fuels and the impact of CO2 on the climate. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices which directly convert chemical energy stored in hydrogen into electrical energy at high efficiency with only water and heat as byproducts. A leading candidate fuel cell technology for operation on hydrogen fuels is the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). But today its commercialization remains limited, mainly because of the price of the materials used for electrode manufacture. Catalysts based on precious metals such as platinum, which are currently inherent to PEMFCs, preclude inexpensive mass production. In contrast an alternate fuel cell technology well suited to hydrogen fuels, the alkaline fuel cell (AFC), offers the potential for low cost, mass producible fuel cells, without the need for platinum based catalysts, but has received less attention in recent years. The aim of this work is to develop AFC gas diffusion cathodes using new substrate materials (nickel foam and porous silver membranes) which ally mechanical support, current collection and catalyst support so as to reduce the cost of the electrode. Silver, which is one of the most active materials for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and which is 100 times cheaper than platinum, has been used as the catalyst in this work. The effect of optimising the cathode performance has been monitored using DC polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Both the nickel foam and porous silver membrane substrates have been successfully developed as the gas diffusion medium in aqueous alkaline media. Silver plated nickel foam showed a decrease in both the Ohmic and charge transfer resistance compared to uncoated nickel foam, leading to improved performance. The porous silver membrane showed good performance in a passive air-breathing cell (50 mW cm-2 at 25 oC) due to its high surface area and optimised hydrophobic properties.

Tree Amplitudes and Linearized SUSY Invariants in D=11 Supergravity

description: We exploit the tree level bosonic 4-particle scattering amplitudes in D=11 supergravity to construct the bosonic part of a linearized supersymmetry-, coordinate- and gauge-invariant. By differentiation, this invariant can be promoted to be the natural lowest (two-loop) order counterterm. Its existence implies that the perturbative supersymmetry does not protect this ultimate supergravity from infinities, given also the recently demonstrated divergence of its 4-graviton amplitude.
