Urban Pluvial Flood Forecasting
Creators: name: Simoes, Nuno Eduardo Da Cruz
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Two main approaches to enhance urban pluvial flood prediction were developed and tested in this research: (1) short-term rainfall forecast based on rain gauge networks, and (2) customisation of urban drainage models to improve hydraulic simulation speed. Rain gauges and level gauges were installed in the Coimbra (Portugal) and Redbridge (UK) catchment areas. The collected data was used to test and validate the approaches developed. When radar data is not available urban pluvial flooding forecasting can be based on networks of rain gauges. Improvements were made in the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique to extrapolate rainfall time series. These improvements are: enhancing SVM prediction using Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) for pre-processing data; combining SSA and SVM with a statistical analysis that gives stochastic results. A method that integrates the SVM and Cascade-based downscaling techniques was also developed to carry out high-resolution (5-min) precipitation forecasting with longer lead time. Tests carried out with historical data showed that the new stochastic approach was useful for estimating the level of confidence of the rainfall forecast. The integration of the cascade method demonstrates the possibility of generating high-resolution rainfall forecasts with longer lead time. Tests carried out with the collected data showed that water level in sewers can be predicted: 30 minutes in advance (in Coimbra), and 45 minutes in advance (in Redbridge). A method for simplifying 1D1D networks is presented that increases computational speed while maintaining good accuracy. A new hybrid model concept was developed which combines 1D1D and 1D2D approaches in the same model to achieve a balance between runtime and accuracy. While the 1D2D model runs in about 45 minutes in Redbridge, the 1D1D and the hybrid models both run in less than 5 minutes, making this new model suitable for flood forecasting.

Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Phthalocyanine Molecular Thin Films and Nanostructures
Creators: name: Wu, Zhenlin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The unique magnetic properties of transition metal phthalocyanines (MPc) have attracted considerable scientific interest for decades. So far, most of the research was focused on single crystals. In this thesis, MPc materials were grown in thin film form using vacuum-based methods, such as organic vapour phase deposition (OVPD) and organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD). These methods were used to produce a range of molecular film structures and morphologies of MPcs with different spin states. We find that the magnetic properties are superior to single crystals, in terms of Curie-Weiss constant and coercive fields. Understanding the film properties will be essential for future device applications. Firstly, OVPD was used to prepare MnPc thin films that crystallise as the β-polymorph. Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) results show that the films behave as canted ferromagnets with a Curie constant of 10.6 K and a coercive field of 9 mT at 2 K. The texture of the MnPc film can be tuned by introducing a molecular layer on to the substrate. Unexpectedly, we find a change of polymorph from β-phase to ε-phase, which was verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). A strong axial anisotropy of the films was observed from the magnetic measurements. Secondly, α-polymorph FePc films were grown by OMBD with different textures, depending on whether a templating layer was used. Magnetic measurements show that both films behave as canted ferromagnets with strong in-plane anisotropy and have a similar ferromagnetic exchange coupling of 20 K. The coercive fields at 2 K of non-templated and templated film are 85 mT and 35 mT, respectively. Finally, in order to reduce dimensionality and explore a new crystal phase, FePc wires with around 100 nm in width and a few microns in length were prepared by OVPD. XRD indicates that FePc nanowires adopt the η-phase polymorph, identical to what was observed in CuPc nanowires. Both the Curie constant and coercive field are higher than the film form, reaching 40 K and 1 T, respectively.

description: Currently, there has been growing attention to animal welfare in animal-assisted interventions (AAI). However, there is a lack of scrutiny regarding what steps to take to ensure animal wellbeing during AAI research. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) reviews, monitors, and approves all research involving animal subjects in order to ensure an animal’s ethical and humane treatment. However, AAI publications rarely report IACUC approval. The purpose of this critical review was to determine the frequency of IACUC approval and to report the descriptions of animal use in AAI research publications. In the 139 articles reviewed, 14 (10%) studies reported attaining IACUC approval; 4/139 (3%) reported an adverse outcome on at least one animal used in the study. The publications inconsistently reported the training or certification and veterinary care of the animals. Lacking IACUC approval in AAI studies indicates that the field underutilizes this method of monitoring animal health and welfare. The IACUC should assess, approve, and monitor research protocols involving animals prior to conducting every study to safeguard AAI animal welfare.

Cadmium Isotope Variations in the Oceans
Creators: name: Xue, Zichen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: A number of previous studies have identified considerable mass dependent variations in the Cd isotope compositions of both terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples. On Earth, stable isotope effects for Cd are particularly prominent in the oceans, and the largest natural terrestrial Cd isotope fractionations of about 4‰ have been reported for Cd-depleted surface seawater. These effects have generally been attributed to reflect isotope fractionation of Cd that occurs during biological uptake and utilization of dissolved seawater Cd. This finding confirms studies, which identified Cd as an essential marine micronutrient. This was first inferred from the phosphate-like distribution of the metal in the oceans and more recently demonstrated by work, which confirmed that Cd can act as catalytic metal ion in carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme which plays a central role in inorganic carbon acquisition of phytoplankton in the oceans. The marine Cd isotope fractionations are thus of interest, as they can be used to study the cycling of the micronutrient Cd as well as its impact on ocean productivity and the global carbon cycle. As part of this PhD project, I have developed a new procedure for Cd isotope analyses of seawater, which is suitable for samples as large as 20 L and Cd concentrations as low as 1 pmol/L. The procedure involves use of a 111Cd-113Cd double spike, co-precipitation of Cd from seawater with Al(OH)3 Cd purification by column chromatography, and subsequent isotope analysis by MC-ICP-MS (multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry). The methodology can routinely provide є114=110Cd data with a precision of about ± 0:5є (2sd) when at least 20-30 ng of natural Cd are available for analysis. However, even seawater samples with Cd contents of only 1-3 ng can be analysed with a reproducibility of about ±3 to ± 5є. The new methodology was applied to investigate Cd isotope variations in about 150 seawater samples from the North Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean HNLC (high nutrient low chlorophyll) region, and the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The samples exhibited variable but highly systematic Cd isotope variations that were comprehensively interpreted in the context of previously published oceanographic and biogeochemical data.

description: The Ward identities of the $W_{\infty}$ symmetry in two dimensional string theory in the tachyon background are studied in the continuum approach. We consider amplitudes different from 2D string ones by the external leg factor and derive the recursion relations among them. The recursion relations have non-linear terms which give relations among the amplitudes defined on different genus. The solutions agree with the matrix model results even in higher genus. We also discuss differences of roles of the external leg factor between the $c_M = 1$ model and the $c_M <1$ model.

Applications of two-phase flow and heat transfer in compact heat exchangers
Creators: name: Lintern, Andrew Charles
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Three applications of two-phase flow and heat transfer in plate-fin heat exchangers have been studied. A dephlegmator is a heat exchanger in which reflux condensation of a vapour mixture occurs, and plate-fln versions have importance in cryogenic gas separation processes. Numerical calculations for different binary mixtures show that the number of transfer units can be expressed as a simple function of the inlet vapour state and flow rate, heat load, and channel geometry. The calculations also show that the vapour and liquid exit compositions tend to limiting values as the number of transfer units increase. These limiting values correspond to liquid leaving the exchanger in equilibrium with the vapour entering. The effect of surface tension on liquid running down the rectangular passages of plate-fin exchangers is to draw it to the corners leaving less liquid on the walls and possible dry-out. A comparison of two CFD calculations with and without surface tension shows that effect can be significant. For a liquid with a surface tension only 1% that of water, about 50% more mass flows down the corner region of a square duct of side 0.944 mm. This transfer of liquid to the corner takes place in the first millimetre of flow downwards. Experimental measurements of pressure drop were taken for air and air-water flow through eight different plate-fin pads. The two-phase pressure drops for the serrated fin were two to five times larger than those for the plain fin. However, the effect of increasing the water flow rate at a fixed air flow rate was to increase the pressure drop by up to 75% in both cases. Over 200 two-phase pressure drops measurements were made, nearly all of the data were predicted to within 20% by the Lockhart and Martinelli (1949) correlation with C factor of 12.
Anti-viral immunity in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes
Creators: name: Waldock, Joanna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Mosquito transmitted viruses (arboviruses) cause significant burden in much of the developing world. Little is known about mosquito responses to viral infection, and how these responses could be utilised to prevent spread of viral disease. Anopheles gambiae, the principal vector of human malaria, unusually transmits virtually no arboviruses, with one known exception - O’nyony-nyong Virus (ONNV). In this thesis the interactions between ONNV and the A. gambiae immune system were studied. Initially ONNV infection in A. gambiae mosquitoes and an A. gambiae derived cell line were characterised. The in vivo transcriptional responses of A. gambiae to viral infection were profiled using full genome microarrays, describing the global response to ONNV infection. This thesis demonstrates that the A. gambiae immune system does respond to viral infection, with genes covering all aspects of immunity being differentially regulated, from pathogen recognition to modulation of immune signalling, complement-mediated lysis/opsonisation and immune effector mechanisms. Furthermore, this study identified four immune genes (a galectin, an MD2-like receptor and two lysozymes) regulated by ONNV infection that are capable of limiting virus during infection. These genes have novel roles in anti-viral immunity, and suggest previously uncharacterised mechanisms for targeting viral infection. Additionally, it is shown that A. gambiae uses a combination of core conserved anti-viral mechanisms, including RNAi, but does not utilise some signalling pathways reported to be anti-viral in other insects. This indicates that species specific mechanisms target viral infection. Finally this study demonstrates that foreign RNA acts as a Pathogen Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP) in A. gambiae derived cells, and triggers transcriptional responses that dramatically reduce viral infection. In conclusion the data presented in this thesis demonstrate that A. gambiae responds to and is capable of limiting viral infection through conserved and novel immune mechanisms triggered by recognition of viral infection and foreign RNA.

description: As nonhuman animals age, geriatric individuals require additional care and veterinary support to ensure their well being. The focus on lifelong care is a relatively newer approach when providing good welfare, and few studies have examined how veterinary care impacts behavior at different ages or how best to accommodate geriatric individuals in zoos. The objectives of this study were to (a) assess both the immediate and long-term (one year later) behavioral impacts of cataract removal for macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and southern rockhopper (Eudyptes chrysocome) penguins; (b) compare the behavior of penguins following cataract surgery to that of other conspecifics in the same habitat; and (c) monitor the impacts of cataract surgery on swimming behavior using time-depth recorders. Individual responses to cataract removal differed in direction and magnitude, and these mixed results highlight that welfare is experienced and thus measured at the individual level. Positive responses included increased habitat use, increased time spent swimming, and increased rates of affiliative interactions. This study highlights the importance of assessing welfare impacts of veterinary interventions on geriatric individuals.
Weight of Evidence Analysis in Framework Approaches to Cancer Hazard Identification: A Case Study with Phenobarbital
Creators: name: Idahosa, Ehi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis addresses the transparency of weight of evidence-based analysis in the application of the IPCS Framework for Assessing the Human Relevance of a carcinogenic response to a chemical. This thesis also explores how, and to what extent, available toxicogenomics data can be incorporated into a cancer mode of action analysis. A systematic review was carried out on epidemiological data available for phenobarbital (PB). A positive association between liver cancer and PB was reported among a large Finnish cohort however the study was assessed to be unreliable on the basis of key limitations. However owing to the size of cohort investigated, the study could not be disregarded and the conclusions reached by the authors were considered to be associated with a high level of uncertainty. Studies of two smaller cohorts of patients, assessed to be of a high quality, reported no findings of such an association. The methods applied in this thesis illustrated the value of systematic review techniques in increasing the transparency of decisions made when applying a WOE based approach to assessing the human relevance of cancer mode of action and in helping to identify important data gaps. Comparative analysis of publicly available toxicogenomics data for PB using Pathway Analysis software led to the identification of perturbed pathways that were interpreted within the context of the key events for PB MOA for hepatocarcinogenesis. The analysis demonstrated that prior mechanistic knowledge about a compound under investigation is currently necessary before efficient interpretation of the biological relevance of perturbed pathways is possible. To realise the true potential for the application of toxicogenomics data in risk assessment, future toxicogenomics study designs will need to be more targeted (e.g. in their considerations of dose-response, time-response and species differences) before they can be applied to help fill the current gaps in mechanistic knowledge. The experience from the comparative analysis reported here suggests that at the present time, information on perturbed pathways obtained in this way is not sufficiently robust to be used as stand alone evidence in MOA analysis. The potential to read across toxicogenomics evidence for PB MOA to other compounds, which may act via the same MOA however deserves further exploration.
Nuclear Fusion Reaction Kinetics and Ignition Processes in Z Pinches
Creators: name: Appelbe, Brian Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis presents work on two topics related to nuclear fusion in plasmas. The first topic is the energy spectrum of products of fusion reactions in plasmas, called the production spectrum. The second is an investigation of the fusion reaction processes in high energy density Z pinch plasmas and the feasibility of ignition of such plasmas. A method is presented for the derivation of production spectra for plasmas with various distributions of ion velocities. The method is exact, requiring the solution of a 5 dimensional integral and is suitable for both isotropic and anisotropic distributions. It is shown that many of the integrals can be solved analytically. The solutions are used to study the spectra of neutron energies produced by deuterium-deuterium and deuterium-tritium reactions. It is found that for maxwellian distributions of ions the neutron spectrum is asymmetric with a longer high energy tail when compared with gaussian approximations of the spectrum. Deuterium and deuterium-tritium Z pinch plasmas are studied computationally using a hybrid code in which the fuel is modelled as a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid and fast ions are modelled as discrete particle-in-cell (PIC) particles. Using a Z pinch model in which the magnetic and thermal pressures are in equilibrium it is found that significant energy gain can be achieved for currents greater than 50MA. Deuterium gas puff experiments with a 15MA current are also analysed computationally in order to determine the reaction mechanism. The results of MHD simulations in 3 dimensions are post-processed with a PIC code to model reactions occurring due to the acceleration of deuterium ions by large electric fields. It is found that reactions due to this beam-target mechanism represent a small fraction (0.0001) of the number of thermonuclear reactions.
Effects of Radiation Forces on the Frequency of Gravitomagnetic Precession Near Neutron Stars
Creators: name: Miller, M. Coleman
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gravitomagnetic precession near neutron stars and black holes has received much recent attention, particularly as a possible explanation of 15--60 Hz quasi-periodic brightness oscillations (QPOs) from accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries, and of somewhat higher-frequency QPOs from accreting stellar-mass black holes. Previous analyses of this phenomenon have either ignored radiation forces or assumed for simplicity that the radiation field is isotropic, and in particular that there is no variation of the radiation field with angular distance from the rotational equatorial plane of the compact object. However, in most realistic accretion geometries (e.g., those in which the accretion proceeds via a geometrically thin disk) the radiation field depends on latitude. Here we show that in this case radiation forces typically have an important, even dominant, effect on the precession frequency of test particles in orbits that are tilted with respect to the star's rotational equator. Indeed, we find that even for accretion luminosities only a few percent of the Eddington critical luminosity, the precession frequency near a neutron star can be changed by factors of up to $\sim 10$. Radiation forces must therefore be included in analyses of precession frequencies near compact objects, in such varied contexts as low-frequency QPOs, warp modes of disks, and trapped oscillation modes. We discuss specifically the impact of radiation forces on models of low-frequency QPOs involving gravitomagnetic precession, and show that such models are rendered much less plausible by the effects of radiation forces.

description: Based on previous studies in the vicinity of P70, it was anticipated that the area may contain prehistoric and/or historic age remains, but that these remains should not be very large or complex. The prehistoric remains may relate to a small scatter of four lithic artifacts (26NY9350) that were identified along an ephemeral drainage approximately 0.9 km (0.5 miles) northeast of the project area or to a pattern of widely separated isolated artifacts and small sites that tend to characterize this portion of Gold Flat (Pippin 1995: 11-12).
