description: We develop new statistics for robustly filtering corrupted keypoint matches in the structure from motion pipeline. The statistics are based on consistency constraints that arise within the clustered structure of the graph of keypoint matches. The statistics are designed to give smaller values to corrupted matches and than uncorrupted matches. These new statistics are combined with an iterative reweighting scheme to filter keypoints, which can then be fed into any standard structure from motion pipeline. This filtering method can be efficiently implemented and scaled to massive datasets as it only requires sparse matrix multiplication. We demonstrate the efficacy of this method on synthetic and real structure from motion datasets and show that it achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and speed in these tasks.

description: The coincident alignment of two galaxies on the sky can create the rare cosmic phenomenon of strong gravitational lensing, in which light from the more distant galaxy is bent around the foreground galaxy to create multiple, distorted, and magnified images. When the background galaxy hosts a bright active galactic nucleus, a quasar, the system becomes a probe of accretion disk physics, quasar-host galaxy relations, the Hubble constant, the stellar IMF, smooth matter fractions, amongst many other applications. It has been 40 years since the discovery of the first gravitationally lensed quasar, and dedicated spectroscopic and imaging surveys have added over one hundred new systems to this list. In recent years, the amount of available data across the whole-sky has grown exponentially. Full-sky data from X-ray to radio wavelengths exist, and predictions suggest there are many bright lensed quasars hidden in these datasets. This thesis presents several new techniques to mine these rare systems from whole-sky photometric datasets. We use the excellent resolving ability of Gaia, coupled with other wide-field surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES), Pan-STARRS, and WISE, and present spectroscopic follow-up from the WHT, NTT, and Keck. By looking for multiple Gaia detections around photometric quasar candidates, and single Gaia detections near morphological galaxies, we have discovered 105 new lensed quasars. We also present a search based on significant offsets in astrometry and flux between Gaia and SDSS for spectroscopic quasars, suggesting several promising small-separation lens candidates. We characterise the confirmed systems based on ground-based imaging and the spatially resolved spectra, and comment on the purity, efficiency, and biases in our selection. DES data provides multi-epoch photometry over the baseline of years at optical wavelengths, allowing a colour-independent selection of lensed quasars by looking for nearby variable pairs. We create a parametric modelling pipeline of the DES images to extract lightcurves of system components, and show that it is a highly effective way to remove quasar and star projections before spectroscopic follow-up. We demonstrate that future searches based on detecting variability in multiple images will be biased towards four-image lensed quasars.

description: The intestinal epithelium is rapidly renewing throughout life. A population of stem cells exist within the intestinal crypt that drive rapid cell renewal and replace each other by a pattern of neutral drift. Perturbation of these dynamics through oncogenic mutation can predispose the epithelium to neoplastic transformation. Understanding the factors that govern these dynamics will give insight into the early stages of oncogenesis. Continuous clonal labelling, whereby DNA strand slippage leading to the contraction or expansion of a microsatellite during mitotic replication, can be employed to enable the detection of a single clone. Previous studies have shown that quantification of clone size over time allows inference of the functional stem cell number and stem cell replacement rate within intestinal crypts. Current continuous labelling techniques require the introduction of a transgenic microsatellite into a model system genome, such as mouse, that leads to reporter expression following mutation. This obviously precludes human studies. Alternative somatic alterations techniques used for continuous labelling in humans requires spontaneous loss of a protein, or change in methylation status, within a single clone that can act as a clonal mark. Though these techniques have given insight into the spread of mutations within the intestinal epithelium and enabled inference of adenoma clonality, the true neutrality of these changes are currently unknown. We propose that the small changes in endogenous microsatellite length will act as a neutral clonal mark within the intestinal epithelium and allow an unbiased approach to quantifying intestinal stem cell dynamics in human intestinal tissues. To overcome the many technical challenges associated with accurate measurement of microsatellite length, a stepwise approach was taken to develop a technique for the multiplexed high throughput sequencing of up to 21 native dinucleotide repeats in hundreds of single crypts. Furthermore, a novel method was developed for the quantification of clone size from data generated from the targeted re-sequencing of microsatellites in single crypts. This protocol was validated in vitro and in vivo in mouse. Furthermore, proof of principle sequencing in human crypts was performed to show that this method is suitable for larger scale quantification of intra-cryptal clone size in human tissue. This, and similar approaches, may be the only way to quantify intestinal stem cell dynamics within the healthy human colon or, dysplastic or adenomatous patient tissue. These measurements should give a unique insight into the dynamics of healthy, pre-neoplastic and neoplastic human intestinal stem cells.

Cultural and social integration of British immigrants and ethnic minorities: Exploring ethnic and generational differences in gender role attitudes, social networks, neighborhood attachment and work values

description: Abstract Large-scale immigration and increased ethnic diversity have generated renewed concerns about ethnic inequalities of immigrant and minority groups in Britain in areas such as housing, educational qualifications, labor markets and health etc. Although substantial research in Britain has investigated inter-generational social mobility of ethnic minorities in terms of various labor market outcomes such as employment rates and access to salariat class, economic integration does not necessarily lead to cultural and social integration, and there is no research that systematically investigates cultural and social integration of British ethnic minority immigrants. To fill this gap, this thesis explores cultural and social integration of British ethnic minority immigrants by exploring gender role attitudes, social networks, neighborhood attachment and work values of first and second generation immigrants. To this end, this thesis uses a large-scale nationally representative dataset: Understanding Society: United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study and a range of quantitative analytic methods such as multivariate regression analysis, Oaxaca decomposition analysis etc. Overall, this thesis shows complex and nuanced patterns of cultural and social integration, which vary with ethnic groups, immigrant generation, demographic, socioeconomic and neighborhood characteristics. Most second generation ethnic minorities tend to have more egalitarian gender role attitudes and more ethnically diverse social networks than their first generation counterparts. Although the generational differences suggest positive signs of ethnic integration into host society cultural and social lives, the patterns of integration vary significantly with ethnic minorities’ social and neighborhood characteristics. These findings indicate that conceptual models and empirical studies of immigrants’ cultural and social integration over time are over-simplified and need to take into account that these processes may unfold differently in different sociodemographic groups and localities. Recognizing this diversity, as well as the temporal dynamism of ethnic minorities’ cultural and social integration, is important because public debates about immigration often present a static and over-simplified narrative that immigrants and ethnic minorities choose not to adhere to mainstream British values, attitudes and life styles.

description: We present the first record of the mustelid Trochictis from the Late Miocene (MN 9/10) of Germany, a partial mandible with p4, m1, and m2 from Eppelsheim. Trochictis peignei sp. nov. is characterised by the combination p4 with a distal accessory cuspid and a basal lingual enlargement, m1 with a length/width index larger than 2.5, a rounded lingual wall of the paraconid, an entoconulid present, the metaconid as high as the paraconid, and cuspules present on the posterior talonid edge, and m2 with a very reduced talonid. Comparison to similar sized Middle and Late Miocene mustelids and a stratocladistic analysis place T. peignei sp. nov. closest to T. narcisoi from MN 9 of Can Llobateras, T. depereti from several MN 6 to MN 7/8 European localities, and cf. Trochictis sp. from MN 9 of Rudabánya. We also suggest synonymy of T. carbonaria and T. artenensis and verify that m2 of Trochictis occasionally is double-rooted. The analysis does not corroborate a close relationship of Trochictis to Taxodon or the subfamily Ictonychinae, but can also not discard confidently such an assignment. With a body mass of about 3 kg, Trochictis peignei sp. nov. represents the hitherto smallest described carnivoran of the Eppelsheim Formation.

description: In the search of high-temperature superconductivity one option is to focus on increasing the density of electronic states. Here we study both the normal and $s$-wave superconducting state properties of periodically strained graphene, which exhibits approximate flat bands with a high density of states, with the flatness tunable by the strain profile. We generalize earlier results regarding a one-dimensional harmonic strain to arbitrary periodic strain fields, and further extend the results by calculating the superfluid weight and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition temperature $T_\text{BKT}$ to determine the true transition point. By numerically solving the self-consistency equation, we find a strongly inhomogeneous superconducting order parameter, similarly to twisted bilayer graphene. In the flat band regime the order parameter magnitude, critical chemical potential, critical temperature, superfluid weight, and BKT transition temperature are all approximately linear in the interaction strength, which suggests that high-temperature superconductivity might be feasible in this system. We especially show that by using realistic strain strengths $T_\text{BKT}$ can be made much larger than in twisted bilayer graphene, if using similar interaction strengths. We also calculate properties such as the local density of states that could serve as experimental fingerprints for the presented model.

description: The signals in high mass dilepton spectroscopy with nucleus-nucleus collisions at collider energies are superimposed on a generally large combinatorial background. Because this background contains a significant correlated like-sign component originating from B meson decays, the "like-sign" method to determine the background is inappropriate. We discuss strategies to deal with the correlations in the background. By taking advantage of the B meson oscillation mechanism and of the particular features of B meson decays a new method to measure the bbbar production cross-section is proposed.

description: We present the results of three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of the subsonic thermonuclear burning phase in type Ia supernovae. The burning front model contains no adjustable parameters so that variations of the explosion outcome can be linked directly to changes in the initial conditions. In particular, we investigate the influence of the initial flame geometry on the explosion energy and find that it appears to be weaker than in 2D. Most importantly, our models predict global properties such as the produced nickel masses and ejecta velocities within their observed ranges without any fine tuning.

Subjects: subject: Neurons and Cognition (q-bio.NC)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: In the field theories in physics, any particular region of the presumed space-time continuum and all interactions between elementary objects therein can be objectively measured and/or accounted for mathematically. Since this does not apply to any of the field theories, or any other neural theory, of consciousness, their explanatory power is limited. As discussed in detail herein, the matter is complicated further by the facts than any scientifically operational definition of consciousness is inevitably partial, and that the phenomenon has no spatial dimensionality. Under the light of insights from research on meditation and expanded consciousness, chronic pain syndrome, healthy ageing, and eudaimonic well-being, we may conceive consciousness as a source of potential energy that has no clearly defined spatial dimensionality, but can produce significant changes in others and in the world, observable in terms of changes in time. It is argued that consciousness may have evolved to enable the human species to generate such changes in order to cope with unprecedented and/or unpredictable adversity. Such coping could, ultimately, include the conscious planning of our own extinction when survival on the planet is no longer an acceptable option.

description: Humans can learn a remarkable diversity of motor skills. While these skills are sometimes long lasting, they may also be subject to interference. For example, people can learn to reach in the presence of a dynamic (force-field) perturbation generated by a robotic interface. However, when two force fields that act in opposing directions are presented alternately, there is substantial interference, preventing learning of either. Here we examine the role of motor planning in motor memory formation and interference. We challenge a predominant view of motor learning, which suggests that multiple perturbations can only be learned when each is associated (closely in time) with a different physical (or perceived) state of the body. Instead, we show that two opposing perturbations which interfere when experienced over the same movement, can be learned if each is associated with a different neural state (i.e. motor plan). That is, distinct motor memories can be formed by planning each movement through the perturbation as part of a different, wider motor sequence, even if not executed. Exploring the implications of this result, we subsequently show that like planning, motor imagery of different future movements can change the neural state to affect the separation of motor memories. These results lead us to propose that situations which generate different neural responses in motor-related regions will naturally act as different contexts for learning. Interestingly however, we show that the same principle does not appear to underlie motor memory decay. Finally, having established the importance of planning in motor adaptation, we attempt to predict how motor plans should be divided and recombined when task sets become more complex. We simulate normative control policies under the hypothesis that motor chunking may arise from the need to efficiently represent motor commands, and test the implications for concurrent field learning. Together, these results highlight that the actions that humans plan are critical to the representation of motor skills that are learned. This suggests a key role for motor planning in the broad control repertoire humans develop.

description: This thesis comprises a collection of short stories entitled Everything Beautiful is Far Away, supported by a commentary which explores ideas of self within the short story and locates my creative writing practice within the field of contemporary short fiction and theories of autobiography. The collection Everything Beautiful is Far Away is made up of eleven stories that experiment with a variety of forms, from rhyming flash fiction to the novella, and fairy tale to psychotherapy, and as a substantial example of original creative practice stands as the main body of my thesis. The accompanying critical element is divided into three chapters, the first offering a survey of the aesthetic intentions underpinning the collection, as well as an introduction to the concepts of embedded autobiography and estrangement and establishment of the context in which my enquiry uses such terms. Chapter Two deals primarily with the notion of embedded autobiography and its manifestation within my own short stories, taking in the theories of Karen Horney, Celia Hunt, Ronald Sukenick and elements of psychoanalysis, (Freudian, Lacanian) whilst also considering the writings of Raymond Carver, Ian McEwan and Jean-Paul Sartre. The third and final chapter raises further questions about the concept of the Self in short fiction with specific reference to my own creative practice, the notion of transferring a story from the imagination to the page and the evolution of the project from novel to collection of short fictions.

description: The non-thermal nature of self-propelling colloids offers new insights into non-equilibrium physics. The central mathematical model to describe their trajectories is active Brownian motion, where a particle moves with a constant speed, while randomly changing direction due to rotational diffusion. While several feedback strategies exist to achieve position-dependent velocity, the possibility of spatial and temporal control over rotational diffusion, which is inherently dictated by thermal fluctuations, remains untapped. Here, we decouple rotational diffusion from thermal noise. Using external magnetic fields and discrete-time feedback loops, we tune the rotational diffusivity of active colloids above and below its thermal value at will and explore a rich range of phenomena including anomalous diffusion, directed transport, and localization. These findings add a new dimension to the control of active matter, with implications for a broad range of disciplines, from optimal transport to smart materials.

description: Morality, food and eating have been associated for centuries. However, little is known about the extent and impact of this association on how people relate to food and eating today. This thesis explores three questions in seven studies. The first question is: ‘Do people compensate morally for unhealthy eating behaviours?’. Moral compensation is the tendency for people to carry out an act perceived as ‘good’ following an act perceived as ‘bad’. Chapter 3 and 4 address this question by measuring whether chocolate consumption is associated with moral judgements (Study 1), and investigating whether recalling an overeating episode makes people more likely to act prosocially (Study 2). The results reveal first, an association between eating behaviour and moral judgement such that the more chocolate people eat, the less harsh their moral judgements, and second, that those recalling an overeating (vs neutral) event were later more prosocial. The second question is: ‘How prevalent is the tendency to associate morality with eating and food?’. Chapter 5 addresses this question by measuring the extent to which moral concepts are used to advertise food in women’s magazines (Study 3). The results show that a third of food adverts use moralising concepts, a pattern that has remained stable over the last fifteen years. The third question is: ‘What is the impact on self-reported desire and observed behaviour of associating moral terms with food?’. Chapter 6 presents experiments assessing whether moral labels on unhealthy and healthier food impact participants’ desire to consume the food (Study 4), actual consumption of the food (Study 5) and selection of the food (Study 6). An internal meta-analysis of the three studies demonstrates that moral labelling has no effect on self-reported desire for food. However, in terms of the observed behavioural measures (selection and consumption), the results follow a pattern of congruency: moral labels increase behaviour (selection and consumption) towards healthy food and immoral labels increase behaviour towards unhealthy food. Taken together, the findings indicate that the moralisation of eating has several consequences. First, people’s unhealthy eating behaviour is associated with moral judgement and later moral compensation. Second, eating and food are associated with morality in about a third of food advertisements in women’s magazines. Third, this association impacts self-reported desire and behaviour towards the morally labelled food: when a food has a moral label congruent with its healthiness, people are more likely to select and consume it.

description: Combination therapies that enhance the effects of separate peptides while limiting adverse effects constitute a promising strategy to improve the efficacy of pharmacologic-based treatments of diabetes and obesity. Cholecystokinin (CCK) and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are gut hormones produced in response to meal ingestion that promote satiety and meal termination. Co-infusion of long-acting CCK and GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to synergistically reduce food intake and body-weight in diet-induced obese rats. However, the mechanisms by which CCK and GLP-1 interact remain mostly unknown. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate for the first time the central mechanisms underlying the synergistic anorectic effect of CCK and GLP-1 combination therapy. We characterized feeding behaviour in response to the administration of CCK receptor (CCK-R) and a GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists in lean mice. We found that the GLP-1R agonist potentiates the acute anorectic response of CCK-R agonists, providing a model of acute anorexia in lean mice for the study of the associated central mechanisms. Using immunohistochemistry against the marker of neuronal activation cfos, we identified brain nuclei that may be involved in the potentiation. Using immunofluorescence, we investigated the role of POMC, NPY, TH and GLP-1R expressing neurons in the potentiation. While we found that GLP-1R and TH neurons might modestly participate in the potentiated anorectic effect, other neuronal cell populations might be involved. We used phosphorylated ribosome capture to generate hypothesis about the molecular signature of neurons activated or inhibited in response to CCK-R and/or GLP-1R agonists. In particular, we identified Calcrl expressing neurons of the nucleus of the solitary tract that stood out as strong candidates in the mediation of the potentiated anorectic response to the combination therapy. Our work constitutes the first attempt to understand the mechanisms by which CCK-R and GLP-1R agonists synergistically reduce food intake. We uncovered several promising leads that will need to be further explored in future research.
Dynamics of the Scalar Condensate in thermal 4D self-interacting Scalar Field Theory on the Lattice

description: We simulate a four dimensional self-interacting scalar field theory on the lattice at finite temperature. By varying temperature, the system undergoes a phase transition from broken phase to symmetric phase. Our data show that the zero-momentum field renormalization increases by approaching critical temperature. On the other hand, finite-momentum wave-function renormalization remains remarkably constant.

description: Isoscaling, where ratios of isotopes emitted from two reactions exhibit an exponential dependence on the neutron and proton number of the isotope, has been observed over a variety of reactions including evaporation, strongly damped binary collision, and multifragmentation. The conditions for isoscaling to occur as well as the conditions when isoscaling fails are investigated.

Learning Models, Bot-Players Algorithms from Learning how to behave: cognitive learning processes account for asymmetries in adaptation to social norms

description: Changes to social settings caused by migration, cultural change or pandemics force us to adapt to new social norms. Social norms provide groups of individuals with behavioural prescriptions and therefore can be inferred by observing their behaviour. This work aims to examine how cognitive learning processes affect adaptation and learning of new social norms. Using a multiplayer game, I found that participants initially complied with various social norms exhibited by the behaviour of bot-players. After gaining experience with one norm, adaptation to a new norm was observed in all cases but one, where an active-harm norm was resistant to adaptation. Using computational learning models, I found that active behaviours were learned faster than omissions, and harmful behaviours were more readily attributed to all group members than beneficial behaviours. These results provide a cognitive foundation for learning and adaptation to descriptive norms and can inform future investigations of group-level learning and cross-cultural adaptation.

description: The braneworld scenario is studied and the effective action of 3-brane living in 5-dim. Minkowski space is constructed. This action is proved to be invariant under spontaneously broken scale and Weyl symmetries and to encode a model of quadratic gravity generalizing the Starobinsky model. The symmetry breaking generates the Hilbert-Einstein term with the Newton constant $G_{N}\sim\frac{1}{μ^{2}}$, where $μ$ is a mass scale equal to the mean curvature of the vacuum hyper-worldsheet of 3-brane. This result proposes a brane modification of the mechanism of spontaneously generated gravity.

A linearly implicit energy-preserving exponential integrator for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper, we generalize the exponential energy-preserving integrator proposed in the recent paper [SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 38(2016) A1876-A1895] for conservative systems, which now becomes linearly implicit by further utilizing the idea of the scalar auxiliary variable approach. Comparing with the original exponential energy-preserving integrator which usually leads to a nonlinear algebraic system, our new method only involve a linear system with constant coefficient matrix. Taking the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation for example, we derive the concrete energy-preserving scheme and demonstrate its high efficiency through numerical experiments.
