description: It has been numerically found that the setup of Newton's cradle can exhibit a rigid-body like behavior, that is, the target cluster starts to move collectively without emitting the outermost particle if the purely repulsive interaction between the neighbouring particles is very "soft" [KS, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 124302 (2010)]. We show theoretically that such an interaction leads to an evanescent mode within the cluster, which delivers the momentum within the cluster without any propagating oscillation.

On Zero Modes and the Vacuum Problem -- A Study of Scalar Adjoint Matter in Two-Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory via Light-Cone Quantisation

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory coupled to massive adjoint scalar matter is studied in (1+1) dimensions using Discretised Light-Cone Quantisation. This theory can be obtained from pure Yang-Mills in 2+1 dimensions via dimensional reduction. On the light-cone, the vacuum structure of this theory is encoded in the dynamical zero mode of a gluon and a constrained mode of the scalar field. The latter satisfies a linear constraint, suggesting no nontrivial vacua in the present paradigm for symmetry breaking on the light-cone. I develop a diagrammatic method to solve the constraint equation. In the adiabatic approximation I compute the quantum mechanical potential governing the dynamical gauge mode. Due to a condensation of the lowest omentum modes of the dynamical gluons, a centrifugal barrier is generated in the adiabatic potential. In the present theory however, the barrier height appears too small to make any impact in this odel. Although the theory is superrenormalisable on naive powercounting grounds, the removal of ultraviolet divergences is nontrivial when the constrained mode is taken into account. The open aspects of this problem are discussed in detail.

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.
Investigations on Aspergillus fumigatus double-stranded RNAs and their effects on the fungus
Creators: name: Bhatti, Muhammad Faraz
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The aim of this research was to assess the incidence of dsRNA mycoviruses in the opportunistic human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, where previously no dsRNA viruses had been reported and to investigate the effects of any dsRNAs on the growth and pathogenicity of the fungus. Thus far 366 isolates (clinical and environmental) have been screened, 24 of which posses dsRNA elements. Successful efforts were made to completely characterise the two dsRNA segments of the isolate 88, partitivirus to obtain novel sequence information. Fungal viruses or mycoviruses are widespread and they usually infect their hosts persistently without any detectable phenotypic effects. They have been however linked with both hypovirulence and hypervirulence but are normally cryptic. To obtain information on the effect of the dsRNAs on their respective hosts, efforts were made to ‘cure’ isolate 88 of its dsRNA infection by cycloheximide treatment. However, following cycloheximide treatment, a sensitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification assay showed that the dsRNA elements, whilst being reduced in amount, were not eliminated completely and that high levels of cycloheximide also interfered with spore production, pigmentation and overall growth of the isolate. In further experiments attempts were made to mobilise the dsRNAs from 4 isolates viz. A-56, A-54, A-78 and isolate 88 into isolate Af-273y, which is hygromycin resistant and yellow in colour, by hyphal tip fusion, protoplast fusion and protoplast transfection with purified virus. Protoplast fusion and viral transfection experiments were successful for some isolates, as assessed by the RT-PCR assay and small scale extractions of nucleic acids. Subsequently comparative growth experiments by radial growth assay and mycelial weight measurements between isolate Af-273y and Af-273y transfected with isolate 88 partitivirus in essentially the same genetic background were performed. These experiments showed that the partitivirus infection resulted in a sectored phenotype and significantly lowered the growth of the fungus. All efforts to initiate the molecular characterisation of uncharacterised dsRNA elements found in isolates A-54, A-78 and isolate-66 have thus far proven unsuccessful but a new approach (cDNA library construction) is proposed for the characterisation of these dsRNAs.

description: A Section 110 archaeological characterization inventory of the Belted Range was conducted for Nellis Air Force Base by Far Western in the latter half of 2010. The focus of the study was on identifying patterning that could inform current research on the prehistoric exploitation of singleleaf pinyon. The survey identified 64 sites (62 prehistoric, 2 historic-period) within a total of 1,798 acres. We find that the Belted Range pinyon zone is much like those throughout the region that contain records indicative of intensive pinyon use by about 1350 BP. What is more distinctive, however, is a robust Late Prehistoric and ethnohistoric record that may extend into the early 20th century. Wooden structures, such as wickiups- and windbreaks, and historic-period artifacts were observed in close association at some sites, and at other sites, diagnostic items of traditional Native American use were seen manufactured from historic-period materials. Radiocarbon dates and site context suggest that these sites are situated differently than those from earlier periods and that there may be a gap in use of the Belted Range between about 700 and 400 BP. Further examination of this late record would a fruitful and relevant direction for future research.

The effect of electron gas polarization on thermonuclear reaction rates in dense stars
Creators: name: Sahrling, Mikael
name: Chabrier, Gilles
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In dense stars the nuclear reaction rates are influenced by screening effects arising from both ions and electrons. In this paper we calculate the enhancement factors due to electron polarization in the high-density, degenerate and relativistic regime, for non-resonant nuclear reaction rates. In an earlier analysis, Sahrling had proposed the possibility that the polarized electrons would lower the reaction rate instead of enhancing it. This analysis was based on Monte Carlo simulations with only one choice of density, temperature and charge. Here we extend the analysis to a wider range of densities, temperatures and charges and calculate analytical expressions for the enhancement factors. We concentrate on carbon and oxygen ions and show that at very high-densities, high-order quantum effects will be important and act to reduce the zeroth order, classical value for the enhancement factor. We show that in any case, the total electron contribution remains weak, namely an enhancement in the reaction of about a factor 2, contrarily to what had been claimed by some authors in previous calculations. We examine the astrophysical implications of these results on the final stages of massive white dwarfs, near the carbon-ignition curve.

description: The vertical transmission of viruses is an important phenomenon affecting a wide range of viruses and host plants. Nevertheless, the presence of virus in a seed does not always lead to seedling infection. In grapevine, seed transmission has been reported for many nepoviruses, but little is known about Leafroll, Rugose wood complex and Fleck diseases. Thus, the aim of this study is to monitor the virological condition of seedlings obtained by crosses between infected parents, analyzing the sanitary status of seedlings after the transfer in experimental fields. It was observed that, although the viral state of parents was quite compromised, viruses were not detected in any of the 150 progeny plants, demonstrating that the main grapevine viruses are at low risk for seed transmission.

description: EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) Technical Diagnostic System (TDS) is used to monitor the outlet temperature of all superconducting coils, in case of temperature anomaly, it will trigger safety interlock system to meet EAST device safety. The data acquisition system of TDS is in charge of continuous data acquisition of the nitrogen and helium temperature signals, TDS security alarm and long-term data storage. It supports continuous data acquisition and pulse data acquisition. The data acquisition of the nitrogen temperature signals is based on the PXI technology while obtaining the helium temperature signals from Lake Shore model 224 temperature monitors with VISA standard. After data conversion, all the data will be stored in MySQL and MDSPlus for long-term storage. It should output TDS fault signal and status signal to trigger the safety interlock system to take actions after threshold evaluation of key temperature signals. It publishes part of real-time TDS data to the cryogenic system and provides an information inquiry service to the TDS administrator. The system has been used in 2018 EAST campaign.

description: We advance superselection theory of pure states on a $C^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ outside of the conventional (DHR) setting. First, we canonically define conjugate and second conjugate classes of such states with respect to a given reference state $ω_{\mathrm{vac}}$ and background $a \in \mathrm{Aut}(\mathfrak{A})$. Next, for some subgroups $R \varsubsetneq S \varsubsetneq G\subset \mathrm{Aut}(\mathfrak{A})$ we study the family $\{\, ω_{\mathrm{vac}}\circ s\,|\, s\in S \}$ of infrared singular states whose superselection sectors may be disjoint for different $s$. We show that their conjugate and second conjugate classes always coincide provided that $R$ leaves the sector of $ω_{\mathrm{vac}}$ invariant and $a$ belongs to the relative normalizer $N_G(R,S):=\{\, g\in G\,|\, g\cdot S\cdot g^{-1}\subset R\,\}$. We study the basic properties of this apparently new group theoretic concept and show that the Kraus-Polley-Reents infravacuum automorphisms belong to the relative normalizers of the automorphism group of a suitable CCR algebra. Following up on this observation we show that the problem of velocity superselection in non-relativistic QED disappears at the level of conjugate and second conjugate classes, if they are computed with respect to an infravacuum background. We also demonstrate that for more regular backgrounds such merging effect does not occur.

Molecular insights into the control of transcription initiation at the Staphylococcus aureus agr operon
Creators: name: Reynolds, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Central to the regulation of the diverse array of virulence factors encoded by the opportunistic human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is the accessory gene regulator (agr) operon. The agr operon contains two transcription units; RNAII, encoding a quorum-sensing system including the master transcriptional activator AgrA, and RNAIII, the effector RNA molecule that regulates virulence gene expression. RNAII and RNAIII are transcribed from the divergent promoters P2 and P3, respectively. Due to the sub-optimal spacer length of the P3 promoter, it is widely believed that transcription from P3 is dependent on AgrA. A fully native S. aureus in vitro transcription system was setup to provide the first insight into the molecular and mechanistic characterisation of the regulation of transcription initiation at the agr operon. Surprisingly, results revealed that, in the absence of AgrA, RNA polymerase (RNAp) can interact with P2 and P3 equally well, however the transcription-competent open promoter complex (RPo) forms more readily at P2 than P3. AgrA was demonstrated to increase the occupancy of P2 and P3 by RNAp, to increase transcription initiation at both promoters, with a more pronounced effect at P3. The P3 promoter is unusual as it has a genuine extended -10 motif and a near to consensus -35 promoter element. "Scrambling" of the -35 element or shortening of the sub-optimal spacer to the optimal 17 nucleotides both significantly increased transcription initiation at P3, by facilitating the rate of isomerisation of the initial RNAp-P3 complexes to the RPo, in a strictly extended -10 promoter element dependent manner. Therefore, two possible mutually inclusive mechanisms by which AgrA activates transcription at the agr operon P3 promoter are proposed. In addition, the involvement of the transcription factor SarA on transcription from p2 and P3 was investigated. Overall, this study provides the first molecular insights into how transcription is regulated at the agr operon in S. aureus.
Diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing in chronic heart failure
Creators: name: Ward, Neil Robert
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is prevalent but underdiagnosed in chronic heart failure (CHF). The aim of this thesis was to investigate the utility of simple portable monitoring and clinical features to identify CHF patients with SDB. In addition, the influence of scoring criteria on diagnosis and classification of SDB in CHF was investigated. In the first study, clinical characteristics in CHF patients with SDB were compared to those without SDB. No specific symptom, anthropometric characteristic or measure of heart failure severity was reliably able to identify CHF patients with SDB. In the second study, the accuracy of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis and overnight pulse oximetry for diagnosis of SDB in CHF were investigated. The percent very low frequency increment (%VLFI) of HRV had low accuracy for diagnosis of SDB. In contrast, the >3% oxygen desaturation index measured by pulse oximetry had a high diagnostic accuracy, with sensitivity 0.97 and negative likelihood ratio 0.08 at a prespecified cutoff of >7.5 desaturations per hour. In the third study, the impact of hypopnoea scoring criteria on SDB diagnosis in CHF was evaluated. The prevalence of SDB changed significantly from 29% when hypopnoeas were scored with a corroborative ≥4% oxygen desaturation, to 46% when hypopnoeas were scored with a corroborative ≥3% oxygen desaturation or arousal from sleep (p<0.001). Respiratory event scoring criteria did not influence the classification of SDB as obstructive or central sleep apnoea. In summary, this thesis has shown that clinical features and HRV analysis can not be used to identify CHF patients with SDB. Overnight pulse oximetry has a high diagnostic accuracy and would be of greatest clinical use to rule out SDB in patients with CHF. The criteria used to score respiratory events during sleep studies can have a significant impact on the diagnosis and prevalence of SDB in CHF.

Quantum aspects of Pohlmeyer-reduced AdS5 x S5 superstring
Creators: name: Iwashita, Yukinori
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The AdS5 ×S5 superstring action is constructed by the Green-Schwarz formalism. For quantization it is necessary to eliminate unphysical degrees of freedom from the action by solving the Virasoro constraints and fixing the fermionic kappa-symmetry, which can be achieved by the Pohlmeyer reduction preserving the two-dimensional Lorentz invariance and the integrability. The resulting system is a gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (gWZW) model deformed with a certain integrable potential and two-dimensional fermions. This thesis explores the quantum relation between the AdS5 × S5 superstring theory and the deformed gWZW model by evaluating the reduced theory quantum partition functions for respective classical string configurations. To understand the quantum relation between the original string theory and the reduced theory, the one-loop computation in the reduced theory is first studied for homogeneous and inhomogeneous string configurations localized in subspaces. For these classical backgrounds we demonstrate that the reduced theory partition function is exactly the same as the string theory one, then they are equivalent at one-loop level. Next we investigate the two-loop relation between the original string theory the reduced theory. The two-loop computation in the reduced theory is performed by considering the long folded string localized in AdS3. We show that the nontrivial finite terms of the two-loop partition functions of the two theories match, exhibiting the same patterns of the bosonic contributions and fermionic contributions. This is a strong indication that the AdS5 × S5 GS string and its reduced form are closely related at the quantum level.

description: A new class of lattice Dirac operators which satisfy the index theorem have been recently proposed on the basis of the algebraic relation $γ_{5}(γ_{5}D) + (γ_{5}D)γ_{5} = 2a^{2k+1}(γ_{5}D)^{2k+2}$. Here $k$ stands for a non-negative integer and $k=0$ corresponds to the ordinary Ginsparg-Wilson relation. We analyze the chiral anomaly and index theorem for all these Dirac operators in an explicit elementary manner. We show that the coefficient of anomaly is independent of a small variation in the parameters $r$ and $m_{0}$, which characterize these Dirac operators, and the correct chiral anomaly is obtained in the (naive) continuum limit $a\to 0$.

Detailed chemical kinetic model for oxygenated fuels
Creators: name: Park, Sung-Woo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: A detailed chemical kinetic model is developed and tested for the combustion of C2 and C3 oxygenated fuels such as ethanol, DME (dimethyl ether), acetone and n-propanol. It is validated by comparing predictions with experimental data on the structure of low pressure burner stabilised premixed flames and laminar burning velocities over a wide range of equivalence ratios. Data from shock tube and stirred reactor studies has also been considered. The elementary reactions of ethanol and DME oxidation have been studied extensively and were used as a starting point for extension to C3 oxygenated fuels. The chemistry of acetylene which is one of major intermediate species in higher hydrocarbon flames was also updated to improve the reliability of the present mechanism and acetylene laminar burning velocities and low-pressure premixed lean and rich flames were also computed. The detailed mechanism features more than 1500 reaction steps and 269 species. The structure of laminar premixed flames are predicted by using measured temperature profiles and conditions cover fuel-lean and fuel-rich mixtures at low pressure. The profiles of reactants, products and major intermediate species are compared to experimental data from mass spectrometry and the overall agreement between the kinetic model and experimental data is satisfactory. An analytic study of fuel consumption pathways is carried out to understand the detailed consumption pathways. The present mechanism is also tested against laminar flame speeds by calculating freely propagating premixed flames to extend the understanding of the combustion characteristics of oxygenated fuels. A sensitivity analysis is also performed.

Evolution of Crustal Magnetic Fields in Isolated Neutron Stars : Combined Effects of Cooling and Curvature of Space-time
Creators: name: Sengupta, Sujan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ohmic decay of magnetic fields confined within the crust of neutron stars is considered by incorporating both the effect of neutron star cooling and the effect of space-time curvature produced by the intense gravitational field of the star. For this purpose a stationary and static gravitational field has been considered with the standard as well as the accelerated cooling models of neutron stars. It is shown that general relativistic effect reduces the magnetic field decay rate substantially. At the late stage of evolution when the field decay is mainly determined by the impurity-electron scattering, the effect of space-time curvature suppresses the role of the impurity content significantly and reduces the decay rate by more than an order of magnitude. Even with a high impurity content the decay rate is too low to be of observational interest if the accelerated cooling model along with the effect of space-time curvature is taken into account. It is, therefore, pointed out that if a decrease in the magnetic field strength by more than two orders of magnitude from its initial value is detected by observation then the existence of quark in the core of the neutron star would possibly be ruled out.

description: Short-wavelength imaging, spectroscopy, and lithography scale down the characteristic length-scale to nano meters. This poses tight constraints on the optics finishing tolerances, which is often difficult to characterize. Indeed, even a tiny surface defect degrades the reflectivity and spatial projection of such optics. In this study, we demonstrate experimentally that a Hartmann wavefront sensor for extreme ultraviolet (XUV) wavelengths is an effective non-contact analytical method for inspecting the surface of multilayer optics. The experiment was carried out in a tabletop laboratory using a high-order harmonic generation as an XUV source. The wavefront sensor was used to measure the wavefront errors after the reflection of the XUV beam on a spherical Ru/B4C multilayer mirror, scanning a large surface of approximately 40 mm in diameter. The results showed that the technique detects the aberrations in the nanometer range.

description: The notion of embodiment in virtual reality as a culmination between the sense of self-location, sense of agency, and a sense of body ownership is key to understand as an underlying structure framing the user's experience and understanding within a virtual environment. In this research, rapid qualitative research methods are first used to contextualize and create a base of understanding for issues surrounding online disinhibition in online multi-player virtual realty games. This thesis explores inter-player interactions in the two games QuiVR, a competitive virtual reality archery game, and VRChat, a multiplayer, virtual reality game with a focus on social interactions and user-created content, and analyzes the relationship between observed instances of toxic online disinhibition and developer design decisions. Both sets of qualitative findings then form a precedent for design experiments, which look to ways in which abstracted representations and alternative or augmented movement mapping can affect user experience. Together, this research bridges the gap between the potential for embodiment in virtual reality and how it affects the potential for bodily experiences by players of toxic online disinhibition.

description: “To raise a question of typology in architecture is to raise a question of nature of the architecture work itself” Moneo, Rafael. Oppositions 13. On Typology. 1978..

” The role of architects is not about designing a building or a city as to catalyze them; to act that they may evolve, … the built environment, become even more dependent upon meaningful information transfer” Frazer, John. On Gordon Pask. An Evolutionary Architecture. 1995

The growing influence of computing and digital technologies in architecture is creating a landscape of rapid change in both societal and urban structures. It is critical to explore a framework for architectural production that adapts and constantly negotiates with its context, conceiving of built forms as entities capable of resilient and adaptive behavior.
This research explores possible mediating languages capable of embodying traces of generative behavior resulting in geometries that are adaptable to context and design decisions. More Precisely, it explores voxels and Tetra Meshes as computational representations affording morphological and adaptive behavior in architecture.
This thesis explores the question: Can a simulation environment bring to light the specific geometric affordances of voxels and Tetra Meshes in a way that enables morphological changes that suggest this adaptiveness?

Rumpole: A Reactive and Introspective Break-glass Access Control Model
Creators: name: Marinovic, Srdan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Access control models assume that specified security policies are correct - all permissible requests and their contexts have been anticipated and are correctly recognised. However, in domains such as healthcare anticipating all permissible requests is not a priori feasible. Break-glass (access control) models are an enforcement technique that grant overrides of access control denials to users if they agree to ful fil some obligations. The key idea is to let subjects take the responsibility for their actions and ful filment of obligations in a controlled manner. The override decision is often made in situations where context information may be missing, conflicting or unreliable. Current break- glass models do not address these knowledge gaps and hence they are not able to utilise them when making override decisions. For example by issuing stricter obligations or involving additional agents in the override. Making override decisions, especially ones based on knowledge gaps, requires security management to react to obligation violations in order to prevent potential damage to the system. Current break-glass models are unable to specify and enforce this reactive behaviour. This thesis presents Rumpole, a novel break-glass model that introspectively determines gaps and inconsistencies in a system's policy knowledge base, enabling policies to utilise this information in determining the strictness of obligations. In order to define how evidence is composed and evaluated to infer whether there are gaps and inconsistencies, we present Beagle a novel logic programming language based on many-valued logics, which formally speci fies Rumpole's break-glass policies. Rumpole extends the Teleo-Reactive (TR) paradigm to de fine obligations that can react to their violations and context changes. We de fine Teleo-Reactive execution using event-driven semantics, which are more suitable for obligation monitoring rather than the original TR circuit semantics. We also show how an event-driven TR procedure can be translated into a strati fied Datalog program. Finally, we demonstrate Rumpole's applicability by investigating and specifying a break-glass policy that ful fils override provisions from the US HIPAA Privacy Rule.
