description: Skyscraper is a Hollywood action film directed and written by Rawson M. Thurber scheduled to be released on July 13, 2018. We present an exhaustive analysis of the feat shown in the recently released teaser poster and trailer of the film. Although the feat appears to be unrealistic at first glance, after close investigation using back-of-the-envelope calculations, it is seen to be within human capabilities. This article is the original version of an abridged article published in Physics Education. It was written very soon after the poster and clip were released by Universal Pictures.

Magnetohydrodynamic Modelling of Supersonic Jets and Colliding Blast Waves for Laboratory Astrophysics Investigation
Creators: name: Marocchino, Alberto
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The thesis is related to laboratory astrophysics, and investigates with this technique, the launching mechanism for young stellar object jets and the interaction of two supernovae remnant in the Sedov-Taylor regime. Recent experiments performed at Imperial College on the pulsed-power magpie facility have successfully shown the formation of magnetically driven radiatively cooled plasmas jets formed from radial wire arrays, which are relevant to studying the launching mechanisms of astrophysical jets [A. Ciardi, et al. Phys. Plasmas 14, p056501 (2007)]. The experiments have been now extended to study episodic mass ejection ( 25 ns [F. A. Suzuki-Vidal, et al. 49th Annual Meeting of the Division of Plasma Physics, UO4.00007 (2007)]) and the interaction of jets and magnetic bubbles with an ambient gas. The dynamics of the interaction is investigated through three-dimensional resistive magneto-hydrodynamic simulations using the code gorgon [A. Ciardi, et al. Phys. Plasmas 14, p056501 (2007) – J.P. Chittenden, et al. Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 46 B457 (2004)]. In particular ablation of the cathode is investigated numerically to explain the periodicity and subsequent formation of multiple bubbles. Comparison with experiments is offered to validate the results. The complex structure of the magnetic field is investigated, the conservation of the magnetic flux is explained and the consequent confinement offered to the central jet. Furthermore the interaction of the plasma outflows with an ambient gas is investigated. The formation of shocks in the ambient gas, as well as the formation of three-dimensional Mach stems is analyzed. In addition, recent experiment at Imperial College performed by the QOLS group, by laser-heating a medium of atomic clusters [R. A. Smith, et al. 2007 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 49 B117-B124 (2007)], shows the capability to create plasmas with sufficiently high energy densities to launch strong shocks. Interactions between high-Mach number shock waves are believed to be responsible for many of the complex, turbulent structures seen in astrophysical objects including supernova remnants. The experiment of two colliding Sedov-Taylor regime blast-waves is modelled. Detailed 3D numerical modeling is performed in order to study the importance of thermal conduction, rarefaction waves, refractive shock waves and complex three-dimensional mach stem formation. The simulated data are benchmark against a three-dimensional tomography image (newly developed experimental technique). The collision of two blast-waves should reproduce the non uniform interstellar medium where supernovas normally expand.

Pathogen diversity and host resistance in dieback disease of cocoa caused by Fusarium decemcellulare and Lasiodiplodia theobromae
Creators: name: Adu-Acheampong, Richard Kwame
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Dieback disease caused by Fusarium and Lasiodiplodia species is a major threat to cocoa production in Ghana and elsewhere in West Africa. Current recommendations involve insecticide application to control mirid bugs whose feeding punctures provide entry points for these fungi. Little is known about the true identity of the causal pathogens of this disease. Earlier work implicated F. decemcellulare as the causal agent and more rarely L. theobromae (Cotterell, 1927; Crowdy, 1947). A total of 117 single spore fungal cultures was established from diseased cocoa stems imported from Ghana. On morphological grounds cultures could be designated as either Fusarium or Lasiodiplodia spp. The Fusarium cultures exhibited inter-isolate variability with respect to macroscopic appearance and macro-conidium morphology, suggesting the presence of more than a single species. The isolates were further characterised by PCR amplification and sequencing of the ITS region of rDNA and comparison with authentic reference cultures. Thirty-seven Fusarium isolates were identified to twenty F. chlamydosporum, nine F. solani and four isolates each of F. oxysporum and F. proliferatum. The thirty-six Lasiodiplodia isolates were identified to two species, twenty-seven L. pseudotheobromae and nine L. theobromae. In pathogenicity tests, F. chlamydosporum, F. oxysporum, F. proliferatum, F. solani and L. pseudotheobromae, previously unknown as pathogens of either cocoa or any member of the Malvaceae, caused significant wilting and dieback in Amelonado seedlings similar to that observed in the field. All isolates exhibited optimal growth at 30 ºC on PDA. Disease incidence in 29 and 15 cocoa germplasm lines in the laboratory and greenhouse, respectively, showed reproducible differences in their reaction to necrotic lesion and dieback infection. LCTEEN 37/F was one of the most susceptible genotypes. CATIE 1000, T85/799 and MXC 67 were the most tolerant and could be used in cocoa breeding programmes for resistance to dieback.

description: The properties of a Bose gas of translation-invariant (TI) bipolarons analogous to Cooper pairs are considered. As in the BCS theory, the description of a TI-bipolaron gas is based on the electron-phonon interaction and Froehlich Hamiltonian. As distinct from the BCS theory, when the correlation length greatly exceeds the mean distance between the pairs, here we deal with the opposite case when the correlation length is much less than the distance between the pairs. We calculate the critical temperature of the transition of a TI-bipolaron Bose-gas into the superconducting state, its energy, heat capacity and heat of the transition. The results obtained are used to explain the experiments on high-temperature superconductors. Possible ways of raising the critical temperature of high-temperature superconductors are discussed.

Neural-ABC: Neural Parametric Models for Articulated Body with Clothes

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: In this paper, we introduce Neural-ABC, a novel parametric model based on neural implicit functions that can represent clothed human bodies with disentangled latent spaces for identity, clothing, shape, and pose. Traditional mesh-based representations struggle to represent articulated bodies with clothes due to the diversity of human body shapes and clothing styles, as well as the complexity of poses. Our proposed model provides a unified framework for parametric modeling, which can represent the identity, clothing, shape and pose of the clothed human body. Our proposed approach utilizes the power of neural implicit functions as the underlying representation and integrates well-designed structures to meet the necessary requirements. Specifically, we represent the underlying body as a signed distance function and clothing as an unsigned distance function, and they can be uniformly represented as unsigned distance fields. Different types of clothing do not require predefined topological structures or classifications, and can follow changes in the underlying body to fit the body. Additionally, we construct poses using a controllable articulated structure. The model is trained on both open and newly constructed datasets, and our decoupling strategy is carefully designed to ensure optimal performance. Our model excels at disentangling clothing and identity in different shape and poses while preserving the style of the clothing. We demonstrate that Neural-ABC fits new observations of different types of clothing. Compared to other state-of-the-art parametric models, Neural-ABC demonstrates powerful advantages in the reconstruction of clothed human bodies, as evidenced by fitting raw scans, depth maps and images. We show that the attributes of the fitted results can be further edited by adjusting their identities, clothing, shape and pose codes.

Their apparent gauge dependence is shown to have a natural interpretation in terms of 't~Hooft-Polyakov-like monopoles in euclidean SU(2) gauge theory. Next, the results and predictions of a realization of confinement through condensation of such monopoles are summarized and compared with numerical data.

description: Configuration space of abelian gauge theory on a periodic lattice becomes topologically disconnected by excising exceptional gauge field configurations. It is possible to define a U(1) bundle from the nonexceptional link variables by a smooth interpolation of the transition functions. The lattice analogue of Chern character obtained by a cohomological technique based on the noncommutative differential calculus is shown to give a topological charge related to the topological winding number of the U(1) bundle.

Transannular Claisen Rearrangements of α-Sulfonyl Lactones
Creators: name: Gore, Sophie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is divided into three sections. Section one is a review of transannular pericyclic reactions. It covers the four main types of pericyclic reaction and major contributions in the field to date. Recent applications of these reactions to natural product synthesis are also included. Section two discusses the results of research efforts into transannular Claisen rearrangements of α-sulfonyl lactones. The background to the project is discussed along with initial investigations into the transannular Claisen and decarboxylative Claisen rearrangements (dCr) of the 7-membered α-tosyl lactone to form vinyl cyclopropanes. Stereoselectivity from within the pericyclic array, by substitution at the lactone C7 position is examined. Efforts towards stereoinduction from outside of the pericyclic array are also detailed, along with aryl substitution at the lactone C5 position to form highly substituted vinyl cyclopropanes. Extension of this methodology to the unprecedented transannular Claisen rearrangement and dCr reaction of 8-membered α- tosyl lactones to give vinyl cyclobutanes is reported. Finally, efforts towards a novel synthetic route to (±)-grandisol utilising the transannular Claisen rearrangement chemistry is described. Section three details the experimental procedures and spectroscopic data for the compounds described in section two.

Crops, Insect Pests and Natural Enemies: Effects of Organic and Conventional Fertilisers
Creators: name: Garratt, Michael P.D.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Agricultural intensification can have negative impacts on the environment and there is increasing interest in the use of low intensity or organic agricultural methods to improve sustainability. Fertiliser is an important component of all agricultural systems and can affect the performance of crop pests and their natural enemies. This thesis presents the results from a quantitative review of the literature on both farming system and organic and conventional fertiliser effects on pests and natural enemies. Results from a series of laboratory and field experiments investigating the effects organic and conventional fertiliser on cereal aphids and their natural enemies are reported. The review demonstrates that crop pests and their natural enemies benefit from organic or low intensity methods and this is evident for natural enemies in farm scale experiments. The effect of organic and conventional fertilisers on arthropod pests is variable although the influence of manures is consistently negative while the effect of plant composts is positive. More studies investigating organic and conventional fertilisers and the response of natural enemies are needed. Field and laboratory experiments show that conventional fertilisers can benefit cereal aphids but the mechanism behind this response is species specific. Rhopalosiphum padi is sensitive to temporal nutrients availability and is influenced by the timing of fertiliser application, while Metopolophium dirhodum is responsive to plant morphology with aphids performing better on plants with a high proportion of vegetative matter. The implications of pest performance on fertiliser management strategies are discussed. Parasitoid abundance in the field was not found to be influenced by fertiliser treatment although in the laboratory, indirect effects of fertiliser, mediated through its aphid host, were found to affect parasitoid fitness with larger parasitoids emerging from larger aphids. A positive influence of conventional fertiliser on syrphid oviposition in the field was also apparent.

description: The adult Prophantis smaragdina (Butler) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
 lays eggs singly, usually on green berries. The eggs are flat, translucent, very small, and difficult to see with the naked eye. Larvae emerge 7 days after the eggs are laid. They are reddish and start feeding on flowers and small berries. When the berries are larger, P. smaragdina feeds on one berry and then goes to the next one. The whole cluster of berries is webbed together with silk. The attacked berries turn brown. The larva feeds inside the berry for about 14 days until completion of the larval development. To pupate, the larva leaves the berry at night and drops to the ground, covering its body with debris found in the soil. The pupal stage lasts 7-42 days, depending on the level of soil moisture. The stage is shorter with high moisture levels. The adult moth is nocturnal and golden brown. Moths are mostly found on the lower side of the lower branches.
 P. smaragdina has recently become a serious pest of coffee in eastern Africa, causing up to 25% of the crop losses. Losses are caused by the damage to the coffee berries, and this damage also facilitates attack by the coffee berry disease fungus.
Management is complicated because the eggs and small larvae are difficult to see and the larvae enter the berries very quickly. Once the berry cluster is webbed, insecticide sprays will not penetrate the cluster. In heavy infestations, cultural control is recommended by stripping off the infested berry clusters by hand. This material should be placed in holes in the ground and covered with a fine mesh to prevent the adult moths from escaping and to allow the adult parasitoids to go back to the coffee fields.

description: Using 1996 Survey data collected from residents along Virginia's Eastern Shore, this study addresses fear of crime in rural communities. Most prior research has focused on fear of crime in urban communities or has reported a relatively low fear of crime in rural communities. However, some recent analyses have indicated unusually high fear in small towns experiencing rapid population growth and economic changes. Heightened fear of crime has been observed even where there has been no apparent increase in criminal victimization experiences. This study addresses fear of crime and its relation to perceived risk of victimization, density of acquaintanceship, community origin, length of residence, prior victimization, and a number of control variables. Results indicate that cognitive measures of risk, unfamiliarity with neighbors, and prior criminal victimization influence fear of crime more than do individually attributable variables (i.e., gender, race. and age)

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In this article, we perform an asymptotic analysis of a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation, with a fractional laplacian as the diffusion term and with a nonlocal reaction term. Such equation models the evolutionary dynamics of a phenotypically structured population. We perform a rescaling considering large time and small effect of mutations, but still with algebraic law. We prove that asymptotically the phenotypic distribution density concentrates as a Dirac mass which evolves in time. This work extends an approach based on Hamilton-Jacobi equations with constraint, that has been developed to study models from evolutionary biology, to the case of fat-tailed mutation kernels. However, unlike previous works within this approach, the WKB transformation of the solution does not converge to a viscosity solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation but to a viscosity supersolution of such equation which is minimal in a certain class of supersolutions.
Supporting Management lnteraction and Composition of Self-Managed Cells
Creators: name: Schaeffer Filho, Alberto E
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Management in ubiquitous systems cannot rely on human intervention or centralised decision-making functions because systems are complex and devices are inherently mobile and cannot refer to centralised management applications for reconfiguration and adaptation directives. Management must be devolved, based on local decision-making and feedback control-loops embedded in autonomous components. Previous work has introduced a Self-Managed Cell (SMC) as an infrastructure for building ubiquitous applications. An SMC consists of a set of hardware and software components that implement a policy-driven feedback control-loop. This allows SMCs to adapt continually to changes in their environment or in their usage requirements. Typical applications include body-area networks for healthcare monitoring, and communities of unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) for surveillance and reconnaissance operations. Ubiquitous applications are typically formed from multiple interacting autonomous components, which establish peer-to-peer collaborations, federate and compose into larger structures. Components must interact to distribute management tasks and to enforce communication strategies. This thesis presents an integrated framework which supports the design and the rapid establishment of policy-based SMC interactions by systematically composing simpler abstractions as building elements of a more complex collaboration. Policy-based interactions are realised – subject to an extensible set of security functions – through the exchanges of interfaces, policies and events, and our framework was designed to support the specification, instantiation and reuse of patterns of interaction that prescribe the manner in which these exchanges are achieved. We have defined a library of patterns that provide reusable abstractions for the structure, task-allocation and communication aspects of an interaction, which can be individually combined for building larger policy-based systems in a methodical manner. We have specified a formal model to ensure the rigorous verification of SMC interactions before policies are deployed in physical devices. A prototype has been implemented that demonstrates the practical feasibility of our framework in constrained resources.

Regulation of pluripotent states in human embryonic stem cells

description: A growing array of mouse and human pluripotent stem cell lines has been derived from the early embryo as well as from adult cells reprogrammed by ectopic expression of transcription factors – i.e. induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These cell lines share the expression of key pluripotency markers and are able to self-renew and to generate differentiated progenies when induced. Their relationship to each other and whether they correspond to different pluripotent states with distinct developmental capacities and affiliations in vivo remains unclear, however. Profiling chromatin in a particular cell line has proven to be a valuable signature for cell identity and developmental stage. One approach has been to assay the timing of DNA replication across a panel of loci, as an indicator of chromatin accessibility. Of interest, this replication timing profiling was capable of discriminating pluripotent mouse ES (mES) cells from cells with a more restricted differentiation capacity. In this study, I have addressed whether distinct pluripotent states could be reliably discriminated at the chromatin level. In particular, I characterised the replication timing profile of a number of human ES (hES) cell lines alongside mES and mouse epiblast-derived stem (mEpiS) cell lines. I showed that mES cells have a steady and mostly early-replicating profile, regardless of their genetic background. In contrast, the profile of undifferentiated H1, H7 and H9 hES cell lines harboured an increased proportion of late-replicating loci during S-phase. Moreover, hES cell replication profile greatly varied between cultures and cell lines; a level of replication timing variability also observed among mEpiS cells, as opposed to mES cells. These results highlighted that hES and mEpiS cells share a common unstable or transitional state: primed on the verge of differentiation. This view was, however, further challenged by exploring how hES cell cultures could be modulated towards an ES-like versus epiblast-like state under different conditions. In particular, extensive and dynamic shifts of replication timing, from late to early, were consistently observed at many target loci in hES and hiPS cells upon increased Smad2/3 and p300 histone acetyltransferase activity. Importantly, these alterations were reversible and associated with differential gene expression profiles and functional properties of hES cells. Collectively, these data revealed the existence of distinct but interchangeable pluripotent hES cell states and proposed a key role for TGF-β/Activin signalling and the HAT p300 in modulating the balance between a naive versus primed state in hES cell cultures.

description: Within front-form dynamics and in the Breit frame where initial and final three-momenta of the system are directed along the $z$ axis, Poincaré covariance constrains the current operator only through kinematical rotations around the $z$ axis. Therefore, in this frame the current can be taken in the one-body form. Applications to deep inelastic structure functions in an exactly solvable model and to the deuteron magnetic form factor are presented.

description: Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission, we observe a strong spin-dependent renormalization and lifetime broadening of the quasiparticle excitations in the electronic band structure of Ni(111) in an energy window of $\sim$0.3 eV below the Fermi level. We derive a quantitative result for the spin-dependent lifetime broadening by comparing the scattering rates of majority and minority $d$ states, and further show that spin-dependent electron correlations are instead negligible for $sp$ states. From our analysis we experimentally determine the effective on-site Coulomb interaction $U$ caused by Stoner-like interband transitions between majority and minority $d$ states. The present results unambiguously demonstrate the remarkable impact of spin-dependent electron correlation effects originating from single-particle excitations in a prototypical 3$d$ transition metal, paving the way for further refinement of current many-body theoretical approaches.

description: Visual Odometry (VO) is vital for the navigation of autonomous systems, providing accurate position and orientation estimates at reasonable costs. While traditional VO methods excel in some conditions, they struggle with challenges like variable lighting and motion blur. Deep learning-based VO, though more adaptable, can face generalization problems in new environments. Addressing these drawbacks, this paper presents a novel hybrid visual odometry (VO) framework that leverages pose-only supervision, offering a balanced solution between robustness and the need for extensive labeling. We propose two cost-effective and innovative designs: a self-supervised homographic pre-training for enhancing optical flow learning from pose-only labels and a random patch-based salient point detection strategy for more accurate optical flow patch extraction. These designs eliminate the need for dense optical flow labels for training and significantly improve the generalization capability of the system in diverse and challenging environments. Our pose-only supervised method achieves competitive performance on standard datasets and greater robustness and generalization ability in extreme and unseen scenarios, even compared to dense optical flow-supervised state-of-the-art methods.

Function of Bmpr1a in ES cell differentiation and cell competition
Creators: name: Sancho, Maria Margarida Gouveia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 4 signalling via BMPR1A is required for the maintenance of the epiblast in the early embryo, and for self-renewal of pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells by inhibiting neural differentiation. In this study, the self-renewal and differentiation abilities of ES cells lacking BMPR1A were investigated. Bmpr1a-null ES cells did not respond to BMP4 but retained a degree of SMAD1/5/8 activation and Id1 expression. This activation was likely due to BMP7 signalling via ACVR1. The observation that Bmpr1a-/- ES cells showed no selfrenewal or pluripotency defects suggested that signalling by BMPs of the 60a subgroup (such as BMP7) can also maintain pluripotency. When Bmpr1a-/- ES cells were differentiated, although they did form derivatives of the three germ layers, they displayed a higher propensity to undergo neurectodermal specification than control cells, likely due to their lower levels of BMP signalling. Cell Competition is the process by which viable cells are eliminated in the presence of metabolically more active or fitter cells. In Drosophila this process depends on dMyc levels and on limiting amounts of the survival factor Decapentaplegic (homologous to the mammalian BMPs). When Bmpr1a-/- ES cells were co-cultured with wild-type cells, they gradually disappeared from the culture and were therefore out-competed. This cell competition was enhanced by limiting the amounts of survival and growth factors and could be rescued by restoring BMP4 signalling in Bmpr1a-/- cells. In co-culture, Bmpr1a-/- ES cells showed no significant changes in apoptosis but had a decreased cell cycle rate and increased levels of differentiation. Concomitantly, higher c-MYC levels were observed in wild-type cells due to increased protein stability. The out-competition of Bmpr1a-/- cells was dependent on differentiation as it could be prevented by inhibiting this process. These results suggest that during development cell competition may be an important mechanism controlling cell fate and survival.
Catalytic production of petrochemical products from bio-alcohols

description: Large-scale petrochemicals are typically produced using petroleum olefins as a feedstock. The desire to move toward a sustainable and environmentally friendly chemical industry has lead to interest in the use of bio-derived feedstocks such as alcohols which are currently being produced on an increasingly large scale by fermentation or from synthesis gas. The research investigated the direct catalytic production of ethylene, acetaldehyde, ethylene dichloride (EDC), and ethylene oxide (EO) from ethanol. Two approaches were considered: a) the use of a bi-functional catalyst that combines the dehydration capability with ethylene conversion and b) the use of a double catalytic bed system where ethanol was dehydrated over the 1st bed and the product ethylene was converted over the 2nd bed to yield the desired petrochemical product. The dehydration of ethanol was carried out over several zeolites at different operating temperatures, producing mainly ethylene and diethyl ether. The catalytic selective oxidation of ethanol was tested over silver and/or copper compounds supported on several zeolites. The effects of operating conditions, metal loading, and zeolite acidity were determined. High selectivity to acetaldehyde was achieved. Unfortunately, the direct production of EO from ethanol could not be achieved. The catalytic oxychlorination of ethanol was investigated using CuCl2 as the active compound and zeolites were used as either a support or as a pre-bed. EDC was produced via ethylene oxychlorination as well as the oxychlorination and disproportionation of ethyl chloride. The effects of operating conditions and CuCl2 loading were determined. Higher EDC yield was achieved over the dual-bed system compared to the bi-functional catalyst.

description: Reconstructing images from ill-posed inverse problems often utilizes total variation regularization in order to recover discontinuities in the data while also removing noise and other artifacts. Total variation regularization has been successful in recovering images for (noisy) Abel transformed data, where object boundaries and data support will lead to sharp edges in the reconstructed image. In this work, we analyze the behavior of BV solutions to the Abel inverse problem, deriving a priori estimates on the recovery. In particular, we provide L2-stability bounds on BV solutions to the Abel inverse problem. These bounds yield error estimates on images reconstructed from a proposed total variation regularized minimization problem.
