description: Based on a single particle model which describes the time evolution of the wave function during tunneling across a one dimensional potential barrier we study the proton decay of $^{208}$Pb from excited states with non-vanishing angular momentum $\ell$. Several quantities of interest in this process like the decay rate $λ$, the period of oscillation $T_{osc}$, the transient time $t_{tr}$, the tunneling time $t_{tun}$ and the average value of the proton packet position $ r_{av} $ are computed and compared with the WKB results.

Spatio-temporal modelling of forest monitoring data: Modelling German tree defoliation data collected between 1989 and 2015 for trend estimation and survey grid examination using GAMMs

description: Spatio-temporal modelling of tree defoliation data of German forest condition survey is presented. In the present study generalized additive mixed models were used to estimate the spatio-temporal trends of defoliation of the main tree species from 1989 to 2015 and to examine the suitability of different monitoring grid resolutions. Although data has been collected since 1989, this is the first time the spatio-temporal modelling for entire Germany has been carried out. Besides the space-time component, stand age showed a significant effect on defoliation. The mean age and the species-specific relation between defoliation and age determined the general level of defoliation whereas fluctuations of defoliation were primarily related to weather conditions. The study indicates a strong association between drought stress and defoliation of all four main tree species. Besides direct effects of weather conditions, indirect effects seem to play a further role. Defoliation of the comparably drought-tolerant species pine and oak was primarily affected by insect infestations following drought whereas considerable time for regeneration was required by beech following drought stress and recurring substantial fructification. South-eastern Germany has emerged as the region with the highest defoliation since the drought year 2003. This region was characterized by the strongest water deficits in 2003 compared to the long-term reference period. The present study gives evidence that the focus has moved from air pollution to climate change. Furthermore, the spatio-temporal model was used to carry out a simulation study to compare different survey grid resolutions. This grid examination indicated that an 8 x 8 km grid instead of the standard 16 x 16 km grid is necessary for spatio-temporal trend estimation and for detecting hot-spots in defoliation in space and time, especially regarding oak.
Possible galactic sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and a strategy for their detection via gravitational lensing

description: If decays of superheavy relic particles in the galactic halo are responsible for ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, these particles must be clustered to account for small-scale anisotropy in the AGASA data. We show that the masses of such clusters are large enough for them to gravitationally lens stars and galaxies in the background. We propose a general strategy that can be used to detect such clusters via gravitational lensing, or to rule out the hypothesis of decaying relic particles as the origin of highest-energy cosmic rays.

description: We used ionized gas and stellar kinematics for 667 spatially resolved galaxies publicly available from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey (CALIFA) 3rd Data Release with the aim of studying kinematic scaling relations as the Tully $\&$ Fisher (TF) relation using rotation velocity, $V_{rot}$, the Faber $\&$ Jackson (FJ) relation using velocity dispersion, $σ$, and also a combination of $V_{rot}$ and $σ$ through the $S_{K}$ parameter defined as $S_{K}^2 = KV_{rot}^2 + σ^2$ with constant $K$. Late-type and early-type galaxies reproduce the TF and FJ relations. Some early-type galaxies also follow the TF relation and some late-type galaxies the FJ relation, but always with larger scatter. On the contrary, when we use the $S_{K}$ parameter, all galaxies, regardless of the morphological type, lie on the same scaling relation, showing a tight correlation with the total stellar mass, $M_\star$. Indeed, we find that the scatter in this relation is smaller or equal to that of the TF and FJ relations. We explore different values of the $K$ parameter without significant differences (slope and scatter) in our final results with respect the case $K=0.5$ besides than a small change in the zero point. We calibrate the kinematic $S_{K}^2$ dynamical mass proxy in order to make it consistent with sophisticated published dynamical models within $0.15\ dex$. We show that the $S_{K}$ proxy is able to reproduce the relation between the dynamical mass and the stellar mass in the inner regions of galaxies. Our result may be useful in order to produce fast estimations of the central dynamical mass in galaxies and to study correlations in large galaxy surveys.

description: We report the calculation results of specific heat ($c_v$), and thermal conductivity ($κ$) by using Einstein, and Debye models about rock salt (NaCl), oxides: Na$_x$CoO$_2$, SrTiO$_3$, and LiNbO$_3$. In calculation, the longitudinal (L), and transverse (T) sound velocities ($v_T$, $v_L$) were estimated from acoustic phonons' dispersion's (~$ω$/$K$) in above materials, and the average sound velocities ($v_a$) were input into Debye model for $κ$ equation, and results were compared with that of Einstein model. In some oxides, $v_a$ is relatively reduced at slight high $v_T$ ($v_T$/$v_L$=0.3-0.5). The relation of $κ$, $v_a$ and $T$ were imaged as the contour plots about realizing low $κ$ values to be application of thermoelectric properties.
Extended Dualization: a method for the Bosonization of Anomalous Fermion Systems in Arbitrary Dimension

description: The technique of extended dualization developed in this paper is used to bosonize quantized fermion systems in arbitrary dimension $D$ in the low energy regime. In its original (minimal) form, dualization is restricted to models wherein it is possible to define a dynamical quantized conserved charge. We generalize the usual dualization prescription to include systems with dynamical non--conserved quantum currents. Bosonization based on this extended dualization requires the introduction of an additional rank $0$ (scalar) field together with the usual antisymmetric tensor field of rank $(D-2)$. Our generalized dualization prescription permits one to clearly distinguish the arbitrariness in the bosonization from the arbitrariness in the quantization of the system. We study the bosonization of four--fermion interactions with large mass in arbitrary dimension. First, we observe that dualization permits one to formally bosonize these models by invoking the bosonization of the free massive Dirac fermion and adding some extra model--dependent bosonic terms. Secondly, we explore the potential of extended dualization by considering the particular case of \underbar{chiral} four--fermion interactions. Here minimal dualization is inadequate for calculating the extra bosonic terms. We demonstrate the utility of extended dualization by successfully completing the bosonization of this chiral model. Finally, we consider two examples in two dimensions which illuminate the utility of using extended dualization by showing how quantization ambiguities in a fermionic theory propagate into the bosonized version. An explicit parametrization of the quantization ambiguities of the chiral current in the Chiral Schwinger model is obtained. Similarly, for the sine--Gordon interaction in the massive Thirring model the quantization

description: We study thermal behavior of a recently introduced Hartree ensemble approximation, which allows for non-perturbative inhomogeneous field configurations as well as for approximate thermalization, in the $ϕ^4$ model in 1+1 dimensions. Using ensembles with a free field thermal distribution as out-of-equilibrium initial conditions we determine thermalization time scales. The time scale for which the system stays in approximate quantum thermal equilibrium is an indication of the time scales for which the approximation method stays reasonable. This time scale turns out to be two orders of magnitude larger than the time scale for thermalization, in the range of couplings and temperatures studied. We also discuss simplifications of our method which are numerically more efficient and make a comparison with classical dynamics.

Multi-spacecraft measurement of turbulence in the solar wind
Creators: name: Osman, Kareem
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: A novel multi-spacecraft technique, applied to measurements made by the four Cluster spacecraft in the solar wind, is used to determine the field-aligned anisotropy of magnetohydrodynamic inertial range turbulence. Time-lagged two-point correlation functions are used to construct spatial auto-correlation functions. These are used in conjunction with a phenomenological elliptical scaling model to estimate the ratio of field-parallel to total correlation lengths, obtaining a mean value of 0.61 ± 0.02. A simulated turbulent field model is also fitted to the spatial auto-correlation functions in order to estimate the power in the 2D fluctuations, obtaining a mean value of (79 ± 3)%. The results obtained from both models, assuming a slab-2D paradigm, are consistent with solar wind fluctuations being anisotropic with energy mainly in wave vectors perpendicular to the mean magnetic field. Eight intervals of multi-point magnetic field data are analysed, and the degree of variation in the estimates of anisotropy about the mean is larger than expected for both models. This variation is not correlated with the solar wind velocity or the plasma beta. However, these anisotropy estimates are correlated between different field components, suggesting that the assumption of axisymmetry is valid. An alternative multi-spacecraft approach, where time-lagged second order structure functions are used to estimate the field-aligned anisotropy of the power levels and the spectral index, is also presented. The mean value obtained for the power in the 2D fluctuations, (93 ± 15)%, is consistent with the simulated turbulent field results, while the observed anisotropy in the spectral index suggests that multiple energy transfer mechanisms are present in solar wind turbulence. Results from all three analysis techniques are discussed and found to be correlated with each other. This suggests that the observed variation in the anisotropy estimates could be a physical effect that different data intervals exhibit different degrees of anisotropy.

The initial conditions for the trajectory calculations were derived in the frame of a deformed cluster model which includes also the effect due to the absorbative nuclear part. Although the distributions of initial kinetic energies is rather broad we show that in cold fission the initial conditions can be better determined than in the usual spontaneous fission.

ON THE CORRECTED PHOTOCURRENT OF ORGANIIC BULK HETEROJUNCTIION SOLAR CELLS
Creators: name: Ooi, Zi En
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: The measured photocurrent of a solar cell may be considered the sum of a photogenerated current due solely to the influx of photons, and a photovoltage-induced current due to carrier injection at the electrodes. Correcting the measured photocurrent for the injected current yields the voltage dependence of the photogenerated current alone. This corrected photocurrent can provide valuable insight into the processes governing the behaviour of a solar cell, yet is seldom measured or discussed within the community. In this dissertation, an original experimental technique designed specifically for the reliable measurement of the corrected photocurrent is described, with the intent of applying it to organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells. Solar cells based on a number of donor-acceptor combinations were investigated. Using the experimental technique developed here, corrected photocurrent-voltage characteristics exhibiting remarkably anti-symmetric profiles were obtained and subsequently rationalised with a simple physical model. From the perspective of this model, the nature of charge extraction at the electrodes – and how this is affected by processes such as thermal annealing – was examined. Finally, a new low band-gap, small-molecule acceptor material was used in bulk-heterojunction solar cells, and shown to promising photovoltaic performance. Interestingly, these devices exhibited anomalous current-voltage characteristics, which, on closer examination, could be explained by an electric field dependence in the photogeneration rate. Throughout this work, particular attention was given to how these findings may be used to improve device efficiencies.

Response to Comment on "Cell nuclei have lower refractive index and mass density than cytoplasm"

Year: 2018

description: In a recent study entitled "Cell nuclei have lower refractive index and mass density than cytoplasm", we provided strong evidence indicating that the nuclear refractive index (RI) is lower than the RI of the cytoplasm for several cell lines. In a complementary study in 2017, entitled "Is the nuclear refractive index lower than cytoplasm? Validation of phase measurements and implications for light scattering technologies", Steelman et al. observed a lower nuclear RI also for other cell lines and ruled out methodological error sources such as phase wrapping and scattering effects. Recently, Yurkin composed a comment on these 2 publications, entitled "How a phase image of a cell with nucleus refractive index smaller than that of the cytoplasm should look like?", putting into question the methods used for measuring the cellular and nuclear RI in the aforementioned publications by suggesting that a lower nuclear RI would produce a characteristic dip in the measured phase profile in situ. We point out the difficulty of identifying this dip in the presence of other cell organelles, noise, or blurring due to the imaging point spread function. Furthermore, we mitigate Yurkin's concerns regarding the ability of the simple-transmission approximation to compare cellular and nuclear RI by analyzing a set of phase images with a novel, scattering-based approach. We conclude that the absence of a characteristic dip in the measured phase profiles does not contradict the usage of the simple-transmission approximation for the determination of the average cellular or nuclear RI. Our response can be regarded as an addition to the response by Steelman, Eldridge and Wax. We kindly ask the reader to attend to their thorough ascertainment prior to reading our response.

description: By running the prospective high-energy e^+e^- collider TESLA in the GigaZ mode on the Z resonance, experiments can be performed on the basis of more than 10^9 Z events. This will allow the measurement of the effective electroweak mixing angle to an accuracy of δsin^2(theta_W,eff) \approx \pm 10^-5. The W boson mass is likewise expected to be measurable with an error of δM_W \approx \pm 6 MeV near the W^+W^ threshold. We review the electroweak precision tests that can be performed with these high precision measurements within the Standard Model (SM) and its minimal Supersymmetric extension (MSSM). The complementarity of direct measurements at a prospective linear e^+e^- collider and indirect constraints following from measurements performed at GigaZ is emphasized.

description: Game theory has emerged as a fruitful paradigm for the design of networked multiagent systems. A fundamental component of this approach is the design of agents' utility functions so that their self-interested maximization results in a desirable collective behavior. In this work we focus on a well-studied class of distributed resource allocation problems where each agent is requested to select a subset of resources with the goal of optimizing a given system-level objective. Our core contribution is the development of a novel framework to tightly characterize the worst case performance of any resulting Nash equilibrium (price of anarchy) as a function of the chosen agents' utility functions. Leveraging this result, we identify how to design such utilities so as to optimize the price of anarchy through a tractable linear program. This provides us with a priori performance certificates applicable to any existing learning algorithm capable of driving the system to an equilibrium. Part II of this work specializes these results to submodular and supermodular objectives, discusses the complexity of computing Nash equilibria, and provides multiple illustrations of the theoretical findings.

Charge photogeneration in organic donor/acceptor blends
Creators: name: Shoaee, Safa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Polymer-small molecule blend films are of increasing interest in the field of organic solar cells. This thesis employs transient absorption spectroscopy as a mean to study charge photogeneration in these blend films. These studies allow identifying and addressing the charge photogeneration efficiency-limiting processes in polymer:perylene diimide organic solar cells. We approach the question by considering the influence of nanomorphology and phase segregation on charge photogeneration and recombination dynamics. We further report on yield of charge separated species in polythiophene / perylene diimide blend films as a function of electron acceptor’s energy levels. We find that, compared to polythiophene / PCBM blend films, charge photogeneration is significantly enhanced. Correlations between free energy for charge dissociation and charge photogeneration yield within different polymer:acceptor series are observed and indicate the generality of this relationship. Furthermore, the energetic model proposed to account for these results is consistent with the well-established Onsager and Marcus theories. It can therefore be concluded that the yield of photogenerated charges in polymer/acceptor systems is likely to be dependent upon the excess vibrational energy of the bound radical pair, such that the key kinetic competition in the photogeneration process is between vibrational relaxation and dissociation of this species Simultaneously, we investigate photoinduced charge separation in solid films of two perylene diimides and a donor-bridge-acceptor (D-B-A)molecule, exTTF-pcp-C60 relative to solution. First we find Intramolecular charge separation and recombination is correlated with a reduction in the yield of long-lived, intermolecular charge-separated species in the perylene diimide dyad. In the D-B-A system we observe the exTTF-pcp-C60 motif in this case leads to more charges than the reference compounds or a mixture of them but that the excited state of the electron acceptor, the fullerene, suffers from concentration self-quenching which severely affect the charge yield in solid films.

New prognostic factors in chronic myeloid leukaemia
Creators: name: Khorashad, Sorouri
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate (IM) has proved a major advance in the management of patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) but about 15% of patients do not achieve complete cytogenetic responses (CCyR) (primary resistance) and a further 15-20% of those who do achieve CCyR eventually lose their response (secondary resistance). The best characterised mechanism of resistance is the expansion of a Ph-positive clone bearing an amino-acid substitution in the BCR-ABL1 kinase domain (KD). We screened over 300 CML patients for KD mutations and demonstrated that detection of a mutation after achieving CCyR is an independent prognostic factor for the loss of response and disease progression regardless of the level of mutant clone. In contrast this study found no difference in the level of IM-induced reduction of phospho-Crkl in diagnostic CD34+ cells from patients who achieved CCyR compared with those who failed to achieve such response. However, I also studied levels of human organic cation transporter 1 (hOCT1), a membrane protein responsible for facilitating entry of IM into cells. I showed that the level of hOCT1 at diagnosis predicted for 3 or more log reduction in BCR-ABL1 transcript level in the patients who achieved CCyR. I investigated the incidence of polymorphisms in the TP53 and MDM2 genes and showed an association between the TP53 P72R SNP and earlier age of onset of CML and an association between the MDM2 309 SNP and Sokal score in CML patients. Finally, I used array comparative genomic hybridisation to compare patterns in blood specimens obtained from 20 CML patients before treatment with patterns obtained from the same patients after induction of CCyR with IM; I showed aberrant patterns in several specific genes, most commonly NAMPT/PBEF1 on chromosome 7. I concluded that the results of these studies provided strong evidence that CML at diagnosis was a heterogeneous disease and that methods could be further refined to develop a model that would predict response to a given dose of IM.

description: Efforts to describe nuclear structure and dynamics from first principles have advanced significantly in recent years. Exact methods for light nuclei are now able to include continuum degrees of freedom and treat structure and reactions on the same footing, and multiple approximate, computationally efficient many-body methods have been developed that can be routinely applied for medium-mass nuclei. This has made it possible to confront modern nuclear interactions from Chiral Effective Field Theory, that are rooted in Quantum Chromodynamics with a wealth of experimental data. Here, we discuss one of these efficient new many-body methods, the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group (IMSRG), and its applications in modern nuclear structure theory. The IMSRG evolves the nuclear many-body Hamiltonian in second-quantized form through continuous unitary transformations that can be implemented with polynomial computational effort. Through suitably chosen generators, we drive the matrix representation of the Hamiltonian in configuration space to specific shapes, e.g., to implement a decoupling of low- and high-energy scales, or to extract energy eigenvalues for a given nucleus. We present selected results from Multireference IMSRG (MR-IMSRG) calculations of open-shell nuclei, as well as proof-of-principle applications for intrinsically deformed medium-mass nuclei. We discuss the successes and prospects of merging the (MR-)IMSRG with many-body methods ranging from Configuration Interaction to the Density Matrix Renormalization Group, with the goal of achieving an efficient simultaneous description of dynamic and static correlations in atomic nuclei.

HTLV-I-associated myelopathy : natural history and interventions
Creators: name: Aghakhani Zandjani-Martin, Fabiola
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Background: The human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is associated with HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM)/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (TSP) and inflammation at other sites. Objectives: of the thesis were to prospectively describe the clinical progression of HAM, document the incidence of all new inflammatory events (IE) in HTLV-1 asymptomatic carriers (AC) and in patients already diagnosed with an HTLV-1 associated inflammatory disease (HAID), explore the clinical and laboratory effects of two therapeutic approaches (anti-inflammatory and HTLV-1 reverse transcription inhibitor) and to detect and quantify extrachromosomal (EC) HTLV-1 DNA circles as markers of HTLV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) activity in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Prospective clinical study of a cohort of patients with HAID and initially asymptomatic carriers. Treatment of patients with HAM with tenofovir and with intermittent, high dose, intravenous methylpredinosolone. Detection of EC HTLV-1 DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and MT-2 cell lines through polymerase chain reaction. Treatment of MT-2 cells with tenofovir and the peptide entry inhibitor Pcr-400. Results: The incidence of IE historically associated with HTLV-1 infection was 3.4/100 person years (py) for ACs and 5.9/100 py for patients with HAID (Relative Risk: AC/HAID= 0.58). Idiopathic uveitis was most common but hepatic transaminitis was also commonly observed and described for the first time in association with HAM. Tax expression in conjunction with serum soluble TNF-α-receptor I predicted 97% of patients without IE correctly. Median time from onset of HAM to unilateral walking stick use was 11 years and to wheelchair dependence 18 years. During a median follow up of 3.8 years timed walk (tw) deteriorated in 77% at a mean rate of 2sec/10m/year and 33% of patients needed additional aid. HTLV-1 viral load was stable but higher in those who deteriorated. Age of onset <50 years predicted progression. Treatment with tenofovir was not associated with clinical improvement nor change in viral load. Methylprednisolone improved pain considerably and has been incorporated in routine management of chronic pain in patients with HAM. EC 1LTR DNA circles were detected but did not correlate with HTLV-1 disease status or viral load and levels did not change significantly with in vivo or in vitro treatment. Conclusion: The progression of HAM, even in patients with chronic disease, the increased incidence of other IE and the response to pulsed methylprednisolone implies persistent inflammation that may respond to longterm anti-inflammatory therapy. The low concentration of, and lack of TDF effect in vivo and RT and entry inhibition in vitro on, EC 1 LTR DNA circles argues against a significant role of viral replication in HTLV-1 infection.
Ground-motion prediction for subduction-zone earthquakes: insights from South and Central American data

description: Models to predict the ground motion for earthquakes that occur in subduction zones are of great importance for earthquake risk reduction and mitigation in many parts of the world where there is a significant hazard from large earthquakes along the subduction interface and from earthquakes within the subducting slab. Most existing ground-motion predictive equations for subduction-zone events are primarily based on strong-motion recordings from Japan, Cascadia, Mexico, Alaska and New Zealand. In contrast, few records from South and Central America have been included in global predictive equations to date, although a major proportion of the seismicity of these regions is related to subduction-zone processes. The development of a strong-motion database from subduction-type events in South and Central America is therefore an important and essential step for ground-motion prediction in these regions as well as other subduction zones in the world. In this project two databases of strong-motion records from subduction-zone events along the Peruvian-Chilean and the Central American subduction zones have been developed. The Central American database compiled during this study consists of 554 triaxial ground-motion recordings from both interface and intraslab-type events of magnitudes between 5.0≤MW≤7.7. The database compiled for South America consists of 98 triaxial ground-motion recordings from 15 subduction-type events of magnitudes 6.3≤MW≤8.4, recorded at 55 different sites in Peru and Chile, between 1966 and 2007. These datasets have then been used to investigate the extent to which global and regional models for subduction regimes could be applied for the prediction of ground motions from the subduction events in these regions, following a maximum-likelihood approach. Regional differences in the ground-motion amplitudes amongst the South and Central America subduction zones are examined and preliminary adjustments to existing equations are made in order to resolve the differences between observed ground motions and predictions from these equations. This has led to suggestions for the prediction of ground motions from subductionzone earthquakes in the South and Central American regions.

description: High-energy storage density, responsivity and efficiency, i.e. WR = 1.07 J/cm3, ξ = 119 J/(kV m2) and η = 92%, were simultaneously obtained in Mn-doped 0.62Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3-0.32(Sr0.7Bi0.2□0.1)TiO3 ergodic relaxor ceramics. Appropriate Mn doping was beneficial to enhance breakdown field strength. Moreover, temperature and different atmosphere-dependent impedance spectroscopy results indicated that oxygen vacancies were the conductivity mechanism for all samples. The valence state of Mn together with the conjugation between Mn ion and oxygen vacancies was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectra and electric paramagnetic resonance. The above results indicate that quasi-hysteresis-free loops with high-energy storage performances can be obtained by the induced defect complex. IMPACT STATEMENT High-energy storage density WR = 1.07 J/cm3, responsivity ξ = 119 J/(kV m2) and efficiency η = 92% were simultaneously obtained in quasi-hysteresis-free ceramics by introducing defect complex.

Systematic Power Counting in Cutoff Effective Field Theories for Nucleon-Nucleon Interactions and the Equivalence With PDS

description: An analytic expression for the ${}^1S_0$ phase shifts in nucleon-nucleon scattering is derived in the context of the Schrödinger equation in configuration space with a short distance cutoff and with a consistent power counting scheme including pionic effects. The scheme treats the pion mass and the inverse scattering length over the intrinsic short distance scale as small parameters. Working at next-to-leading order in this scheme, we show that the expression obtained is identical to one obtained using the recently introduced PDS approach which is based on dimensional regularization with a novel subtraction scheme. This strongly supports the conjecture that the schemes are equivalent provided one works to the same order in the power counting.
