description: Estimation of the freeze-out parameters as the function of rapidity in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=72$ GeV in the AFTER@LHC project is performed. The conventional hadron resonance gas model is used for the analysis of the events generated by the UrQMD model. The results indicate that one may obtain at least $2.5$ times increase of baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ in the forward rapidity range as compared to the mid-rapidity. The $μ_B$ values in the rapidity range of $0 < y < 4.5$ for AFTER@LHC are comparable to that covered by the RHIC Beam Energy Scan program. Thus, a rapidity scan in the AFTER@LHC project provides a complementary approach to study the QCD phase diagram.

Mass-improvement of the vector current in three-flavor QCD

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We determine two improvement coefficients which are relevant to cancel mass-dependent cutoff effects in correlation functions with operator insertions of the non-singlet local QCD vector current. This determination is based on degenerate three-flavor QCD simulations of non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions with tree-level improved gauge action. Employing a very robust strategy that has been pioneered in the quenched approximation leads to an accurate estimate of a counterterm cancelling dynamical quark cutoff effects linear in the trace of the quark mass matrix. To our knowledge this is the first time that such an effect has been determined systematically with large significance.

Can Planets Influence the Horizontal Branch Morphology?
Creators: name: Soker, Noam
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: As stars which have planetary systems evolve along the red giant branch and expand, they interact with the close planets. The planets deposit angular momentum and energy into the red giant stars' envelopes, both of which are likely to enhance mass loss on the red giant branch. The enhanced mass loss causes the star to become bluer as it turns to the horizontal branch. I propose that the presence of planetary systems, through this mechanism, can explain some anomalies in horizontal branch morphologies. In particular, planetary systems may be related to the ``second parameter'', which determines the distribution of horizontal branch stars on the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. The proposed scenario predicts that surviving massive planets or brown dwarfs orbit many of the extreme blue horizontal branch stars, at orbital periods of tens days.

description: We discuss the problem of lattice artefacts in QCD simulations enhanced by the introduction of dynamical charmed quarks. In particular, we advocate the use of a massive renormalization scheme with a close to realistic charm mass. To maintain O(a) improvement for Wilson type fermions in this case we define a finite size scheme and carry out a nonperturbative estimation of the clover coefficient $c_\mathrm{sw}$. It is summarized in a fit formula $c_\mathrm{sw}(g_0^2)$ that defines an improved action suitable for future dynamical charm simulations.

The Kaluza-Klein tower consists of a massless vector and infinite number of massive self-dual tensor multiplets living in five-dimensions. The self-duality follows from the equation of motion. Both actions are quadratic in field variables without any auxiliary field. When lifted back to six-dimensions, one of them gives a supersymmetric extension of the bosonic formulation for the chiral two-form tensor by Perry and Schwarz.

Molecular Studies of Treponema pallidum
Creators: name: Tipple, Craig
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum), has re-emerged in the UK and globally. There are 11 million new cases annually. The WHO stated the urgent need for single-dose oral treatments for syphilis to replace penicillin injections. Azithromycin showed initial promise, but macrolide resistance-associated mutations are emerging. Response to treatment is monitored by serological assays that can take months to indicate treatment success, thus a new test for identifying treatment failure rapidly in future clinical trials is required. Molecular studies are key in syphilis research, as T. pallidum cannot be sustained in culture. The work presented in this thesis aimed to design and validate both a qPCR and a RT-qPCR to quantify T. pallidum in clinical samples and use these assays to characterise treatment responses to standard therapy by determining the rate of T. pallidum clearance from blood and ulcer exudates. Finally, using samples from three cross-sectional studies, it aimed to establish the prevalence of T. pallidum strains, including those with macrolide resistance in London and Colombo, Sri Lanka. The sensitivity of T. pallidum detection in ulcers was significantly higher than in blood samples, the likely result of higher bacterial loads in ulcers. RNA detection during primary and latent disease was more sensitive than DNA and higher RNA quantities were detected at all stages. Bacteraemic patients most often had secondary disease and HIV-1 infected patients had higher bacterial loads in primary chancres. Treatment kinetics following benzathine penicillin injection were assessed in four men. The mean half-life for both blood and ulcer T. pallidum nucleic acid clearance was found to be short. All patients had serology consistent with cure at one month. Two T. pallidum strain types were found in Colombo, neither harbouring macrolide resistance. In London, several strain types were identified, the majority of which contained genetic determinants of macrolide resistance.

Meshless methods for shear-deformable beams and plates based on mixed weak forms
Creators: name: Hale, Jack Samuel Brand
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Thin structural theories such as the shear-deformable Timoshenko beam and Reissner-Mindlin plate theories have seen wide use throughout engineering practice to simulate the response of structures with planar dimensions far larger than their thickness dimension. Meshless methods have been applied to construct numerical methods to solve the shear deformable theories. Similarly to the finite element method, meshless methods must be carefully designed to overcome the well-known shear-locking problem. Many successful treatments of shear-locking in the finite element literature are constructed through the application of a mixed weak form. In the mixed weak form the shear stresses are treated as an independent variational quantity in addition to the usual displacement variables. We introduce a novel hybrid meshless-finite element formulation for the Timoshenko beam problem that converges to the stable first-order/zero-order finite element method in the local limit when using maximum entropy meshless basis functions. The resulting formulation is free from the effects shear-locking. We then consider the Reissner-Mindlin plate problem. The shear stresses can be identified as a vector field belonging to the Sobelov space with square integrable rotation, suggesting the use of rotated Raviart-Thomas-Nedelec elements of lowest-order for discretising the shear stress field. This novel formulation is again free from the effects of shear-locking. Finally we consider the construction of a generalised displacement method where the shear stresses are eliminated prior to the solution of the final linear system of equations. We implement an existing technique in the literature for the Stokes problem called the nodal volume averaging technique. To ensure stability we split the shear energy between a part calculated using the displacement variables and the mixed variables resulting in a stabilised weak form. The method then satisfies the stability conditions resulting in a formulation that is free from the effects of shear-locking.

description: We examine all possible stationary, optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disc models relevant for active galactic nuclei (AGN) and identify the physical regimes in which they are stable against the thermal-viscous hydrogen ionization instability. Self-gravity and irradiation effects are included. We find that most if not all AGN discs are unstable. Observed AGN therefore represent the outburst state, although some or all quasars could constitute a steady population having markedly higher fuelling rates than other AGN. It has important implications for the AGN mass supply and for the presence of supermassive black holes in nearby spirals.

titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Downie, Caitlin
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Particularly post 2020, municipal governments have been under increased
 pressure to address racism in their communities and within their
 institutional structures. Many municipal governments have relied on DEI
 plans to guide this work yet these documents, and public policy on DEI at
 a local government level more generally, remain understudied. This thesis
 addresses this gap by examining the role that municipal DEI plans play in
 addressing white supremacy and advancing equity. I situate this study at
 the intersection of literature on DEI policy and social learning to think
 about how DEI policy at a local government level is developed,
 implemented, and the social learning processes that take place throughout.
 This research is conducted in Alberta, Canada and involves a document
 analysis of DEI plans, interviews with DEI practitioners and grassroots
 organizers, and participant observation. In my analyses, I show how DEI
 plans frame issues of racism and discrimination in ways that lack an
 ability to attend to inequitable institutional structures. I explore how
 DEI plans are simultaneously politicized by Councils and depoliticized
 through the downloading of work onto community all while being experienced
 as emotional work by DEI practitioners. Finally, I demonstrate the
 formalized approaches to learning outlined in DEI plans are insufficient
 to raise critical consciousness. I propose that a more explicit and
 supported praxis-oriented approach is needed.

description: The mechanisms of dislocation/precipitate interaction were studied by means of discrete dislocation dynamics within a multiscale approach. Simulations were carried out using the discrete continuous method in combination with a fast Fourier transform solver to compute the mechanical fields. The original simulation strategy was modified to include straight dislocation segments by means of the field dislocation mechanics method and was applied to simulate the interaction of an edge dislocation with a $θ'$ precipitate in an Al-Cu alloy. It was found that the elastic mismatch has a negligible influence on the dislocation/precipitate interaction in the Al-Cu system. Moreover, the influence of the precipitate aspect ratio and orientation was reasonably well captured by the simple Orowan model in the absence of the stress-free transformation strain. Nevertheless, the introduction of the stress-free transformation strain led to dramatic changes in the dislocation/precipitate interaction and in the critical resolved shear stress to overcome the precipitate, particularly in the case of precipitates with small aspect ratio. The new multiscale approach to study the dislocation/precipitate interactions opens the possibility to obtain quantitative estimations of the strengthening provided by precipitates in metallic alloys taking into account the microstructural details.

Orthogonal Polynomials and Open Quantum Systems
Creators: name: Woods, Mischa Prebin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis is concerned with the study of quantum systems coupled linearly to a continuous bath of oscillators examples of which are the spin-boson model and the Nelson model. The main theme throughout is to develop a better understanding of the properties of the bath of oscillators such that more efficient representations of it can be made to facilitate the understanding of the system dynamics. The main difficulty in simulating the system dynamics is that the bath of oscillators composes an infinite number of degrees of freedom. In this thesis, we investigate the mathematical properties of an approach in which the bath modes are written as a semi-infinite chain of nearest neighbour interacting harmonic oscillators such that the efficient time dependent density-matrix renormalisation group (t-DMRG) methods can be applied for simulation. In the first section, we show how there are many different ways to represent the bath as semiinfinite chains and prove that seemingly unrelated methods can all be achieved using the same mathematical formalism. We show that in an iterative process the bath can be transformed into a chain of oscillators with nearest neighbour interactions. This is achieved using the formalism of orthogonal polynomials. This allows one to define a sequence of residual spectral densities at each site along the chain. We show that this sequence of residual spectral densities is provided by the so-called ”sequence of secondary measures”. We derive a systematic procedure to obtain the spectral density of the residual bath in each step. We find that these residual spectral densities are related to an old abstract problem in mathematics known as the ”secondary measures”. We solve this problem from the field of orthogonal polynomials to give an explicit expression for the residual spectral densities and go on to prove that these functions converge under very general conditions. That is, the asymptotic part of the chain is universal, translation invariant with universal spectral density. These results suggest efficient methods for handling the numerical treatment of the residual bath. In the second section, we take a different approach. Rather than studying the properties of residual baths, we look at how system observables are affected by truncating the semi-infinite chain of harmonic oscillators to a finite length chain. By developing locality bounds for the dynamics, we derive an upper bound to the error introduced by such a truncation and show that for all finite times it can be made arbitrarily small by including a sufficient number of harmonic oscillators 3 before truncating. Furthermore, it is shown that the speed at which the system communicates with different harmonic oscillators in the chain is proportional to the maximum frequency of the environment but that this speed also depends on the particular version of the chain. These bounds are given for when the dynamics are calculated in the Interaction picture and in the Schrodinger picture.

description: shortened) Results obtained from 9 X-ray observations of 3C 273 performed by ASCA are presented (for a total exposure time of about 160 000 s). The analysis and interpretation of the results is complicated by the fact that 4 of these observations were used for on-board calibration of the CCDs spectral response. The present analysis shows that, in agreement with official recommendations, a conservative systematic error (at low energies) of about 2-3 x 10**20cm-2 must be assumed when analyzing ASCA SIS data. A soft-excess, with variable flux and/or shape, has been clearly detected as well as flux and spectral variability. An anti-correlation is found between the spectral index and the flux in the 2-10 keV energy range. Fitting the data with the latest available calibration matrices, we also detect an emission line at ~5.4-5.7 keV (~6.3-6.6 keV in the quasar frame) in (only) the two observations with lowest fluxes where it is weak (EW ~ 20-30 eV), narrow and consistent with being produced by Fe K emission from neutral matter. Overall, the observations are qualitatively consistent with a variable, non-thermal X-ray continuum emission, i.e., a power law with Gamma~1.6 (possibly produced in the innermost regions of the radio-optical jet), plus underlying ``Seyfert-like'' features, i.e., a soft-excess and Fe K line emission due to a reflection component. When the continuum (jet) emission is in a low state, the spectral features produced by the Seyfert-like spectrum (soft-excess, iron line and possibly a steep power law plus reflection continuum) are more easily seen.

Online Communication Platforms for School-University Partnerships at National Level

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: One of the objectives of the Inclusion4Schools project is to promote cooperation between institutions, organisations working with disadvantaged children and teacher training institutions. During the implementation of the project, the feedback and sharing of experiences of the different actors led to the conclusion that there was a need to improve the efficiency of communication. Students studying at university and participating in teacher training courses are generally not from disadvantaged backgrounds and have not studied in schools where students from such backgrounds constitute the majority. School experiences are crucial in shaping their own teacher identity and influence students' career choices. The majority of teacher have no direct experience of such institutions either. Thus, the specificities of such schools may be left out of the curriculum of teacher education. Students in TE might not get an idea of the specific dimensions of the work in such schools.

On the other hand, schools for disadvantaged children accumulate a lot of important and useful knowledge that often fails to be incorporated into the curriculum taught in universities. Good practices in schools represent knowledge that could contribute to the enrichment of knowledge in universities.

Among the various forms of communication, online interaction is a prominent one, which can bring together actors from different fields. Our aim was to create a platform to facilitate knowledge sharing, joint thinking and collaboration between universities, teacher training institutions and schools.

description: The question of whether classically conformal modifications of the standard model are consistent with experimental obervations has recently been subject to renewed interest. The method of Gildener and Weinberg provides a natural framework for the study of the effective potential of the resulting multi-scalar standard model extensions. This approach relies on the assumption of the ordinary loop hierarchy $λ_\text{s} \sim g^2_\text{g}$ of scalar and gauge couplings. On the other hand, Andreassen, Frost and Schwartz recently argued that in the (single-scalar) standard model, gauge invariant results require the consistent scaling $λ_\text{s} \sim g^4_\text{g}$. In the present paper we contrast these two hierarchy assumptions and illustrate the differences in the phenomenological predictions of minimal conformal extensions of the standard model.

Spectral properties of simple classical and quantum reset processes

description: We study the spectral properties of classical and quantum Markovian processes that are reset at random times to a specific configuration or state with a reset rate that is independent of the current state of the system. We demonstrate that this simple reset dynamics causes a uniform shift in the eigenvalues of the Markov generator, excluding the zero mode corresponding to the stationary state, which has the effect of accelerating or even inducing relaxation to a stationary state. Based on this result, we provide expressions for the stationary state and probability current of the reset process in terms of weighted sums over dynamical modes of the reset-free process. We also discuss the effect of resets on processes that display metastability. We illustrate our results with two classical stochastic processes, the totally asymmetric random walk and the one-dimensional Brownian motion, as well as two quantum models: a particle coherently hopping on a chain and the dissipative transverse field Ising model, known to exhibit metastability.

Sine-Gordon solitonic scalar stars and black holes

description: We study exact, analytic, static, spherically symmetric, four-dimensional solutions of minimally coupled Einstein-scalar gravity, sourced by a scalar field whose profile has the form of the sine-Gordon soliton. We present a horizonless, everywhere regular and positive-mass solution (a solitonic star) and a black hole. The scalar potential behaves as a constant near the origin and vanishes at infinity. In particular, the solitonic scalar star interpolates between an anti-de Sitter and an asympototically flat spacetime. The black-hole spacetime is unstable against linear perturbations, while due to numerical issues, we were not able to determine with confidence whether or not the star-like background solution is stable.

Production and Oscillations of a Bose Einstein Condensate on an Atom Chip
Creators: name: Yuen, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis describes production of and experiments with a Bose-Einstein condensate of approximately 2 × 10[superscript 4] [superscript 87]Rb atoms, trapped at the surface of an atom chip. In the first half of this thesis I describe the process of trapping and cooling the atomic vapour close to the surface of an atom chip. This process, which cools the vapour by over 9 orders of magnitude, involves a highly complex sequence of events which I implemented and optimised over the first two years of my PhD. In the early stages of this process, the atomic vapour is laser cooled and magneto-optically trapped. The vapour is then transferred to a highly elongated magnetic trap produced by high field gradients a few hundred microns from the surface of the atom chip. Here the vapour is evaporatively cooled to below the transition temperature where a Bose-Einstein condensate emerges. A simple existing analytic model of evaporative cooling is extended in this work to account for the shape of our highly elongated trap. Predictions of this model are presented here along with experimental observations with which it has good agreement. The second part of my thesis investigates some of the characteristics of the condensate, and dynamics of its low energy collective oscillations in the trap, based on experimental measurements taken in the final 18 months of my PhD. In particular, measurements taken of the centre of mass oscillations of the condensate along the long axis of the trap are presented. In the zero temperature limit the condensate is expected to behave as a perfect superfluid, and these low energy oscillations should go undamped. However, at finite temperature where not all atoms in the gas are condensed, damping is observed. In our experiment significant damping is found with an 1/e decay rate which varies between 2s[superscript -1] and 8s[superscript -1], depending on the fraction of non-condensed atoms in the gas. A finite temperature formalism is then used to describe the likely damping mechanism - Landau damping. We use a simple model of this formalism which estimates the temperature dependence of the damping rate γ(T), but find this gives a significant overestimation of the rates we measure. However, we argue that a straightforward adaptation to this model reduces the predicted damping rate significantly, and suggests a functional form of γ(T) that is in much better agreement with our experimental measurements.
Robust online subspace learning
Creators: name: Liwicki, Stephan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis, I aim to advance the theories of online non-linear subspace learning through the development of strategies which are both efficient and robust. The use of subspace learning methods is very popular in computer vision and they have been employed to numerous tasks. With the increasing need for real-time applications, the formulation of online (i.e. incremental and real-time) learning methods is a vibrant research field and has received much attention from the research community. A major advantage of incremental systems is that they update the hypothesis during execution, thus allowing for the incorporation of the real data seen in the testing phase. Tracking acts as an attractive and popular evaluation tool for incremental systems, and thus, the connection between online learning and adaptive tracking is seen commonly in the literature. The proposed system in this thesis facilitates learning from noisy input data, e.g. caused by occlusions, casted shadows and pose variations, that are challenging problems in general tracking frameworks. First, a fast and robust alternative to standard L2-norm principal component analysis (PCA) is introduced, which I coin Euler PCA (e-PCA). The formulation of e-PCA is based on robust, non-linear kernel PCA (KPCA) with a cosine-based kernel function that is expressed via an explicit feature space. When applied to tracking, face reconstruction and background modeling, promising results are achieved. In the second part, the problem of matching vectors of 3D rotations is explicitly targeted. A novel distance which is robust for 3D rotations is introduced, and formulated as a kernel function. The kernel leads to a new representation of 3D rotations, the full-angle quaternion (FAQ) representation. Finally, I propose 3D object recognition from point clouds, and object tracking with color values using FAQs. A domain-specific kernel function designed for visual data is then presented. KPCA with Krein space kernels is introduced, as this kernel is indefinite, and an exact incremental learning framework for the new kernel is developed. In a tracker framework, the presented online learning outperforms the competitors in nine popular and challenging video sequences. In the final part, the generalized eigenvalue problem is studied. Specifically, incremental slow feature analysis (SFA) with indefinite kernels is proposed, and applied to temporal video segmentation and tracking with change detection. As online SFA allows for drift detection, further improvements are achieved in the evaluation of the tracking task.

After discussing the nature of chiral limit with Wilson quarks, we first study the case of two degenerate quarks $N_F=2$, and find that the transition is smooth in the chiral limit on both $N_t=4$ and 6 lattices. For $N_F=3$, on the other hand, clear two state signals are observed for $m_q \simm{
