description: We discuss how to apply the Hessian method (i) to predict the impact of a new data set (or sets) on the parton distribution functions (PDFs) and their errors, by producing an updated best-fit PDF and error PDF sets, such as the CTEQ-TEA PDFs; (ii) to predict directly the effect of a new data set on the PDF errors of any other set of observables, without the need to recalculate using the new error PDFs; and (iii) to transform the original set into a reduced set of error PDFs which is optimized for a specific set of observables to reproduce the PDF-induced uncertainties to any specified precision. We present a software package, {\tt ePump} (error PDF Updating Method Package), that can be used to update or optimize a set of PDFs, including the best-fit PDF set and Hessian eigenvector pairs of PDF sets (i.e., error PDFs), and to update any other set of observables. We demonstrate the potential of the program by presenting selected phenomenological applications relevant to the Large Hadron Collider. Special care is given to discuss the assumptions made and the limitations of this theoretical framework compared to a treatment by the full global analysis program.

description: This paper describes a robust, modular, and physics- based circuit framework to model conventional and emerging Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) devices. Magnetization dynamics are described by the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (sLLG) equation whose results are rigorously benchmarked with a Fokker-Planck Equation (FPE) description of magnet dynamics. We then show how sLLG is coupled to transport equations of MTJ-based devices in a unified circuit platform. Step by step, we illustrate how the physics-based MTJ model can be extended to include different spintronics phenomena, including spin-transfer-torque (STT), voltage-control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) and spin-orbit torque (SOT) phenomena by experimentally benchmarked examples. To demonstrate how our approach can be used in the exploration of novel MTJ-based devices, we also present a recently proposed MEMS resonator- driven spin-torque nano oscillator (STNO) that can reduce the phase noise of STNOs. We briefly elaborate on the use of our framework beyond conventional devices.

Nuclear stellar discs in early-type galaxies --- II. Photometric properties

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Hubble Space Telescope images of two early-type galaxies harboring both nuclear and outer stellar discs are studied in detail. By means of a photometric decomposition, the images of NGC 4342 and NGC 4570 are analyzed and the photometric properties of the nuclear discs investigated. We find a continuity of properties in the parameter space defined by the central surface brightness and the scalelength of discs in spirals, S0s and embedded discs in ellipticals, in the sense that the nuclear discs extend the observed disc properties even further towards smaller scalelengths and brighter central surface brightnesses. When including the nuclear discs, disc properties span more than four orders of magnitude in both scalelength and central surface brightness. The nuclear discs studied here are the smallest and brightest stellar discs known, and as such, they are as extreme in their photometric properties as Malin I, when compared to typical galactic discs that obey Freeman's law. We discuss a possible formation scenario in which the double-disc structure observed in these galaxies has been shaped by now dissolved bars. Based on the fact that the black holes known to exist in some of these galaxies have masses comparable to those of the nuclear discs, we explore a possible link between the black holes and the nuclear discs.

description: In this work, we present a systematic study on the feasibility of probing the largely unexplored transverse momentum dependent gluon Sivers function (GSF) in open charm production, high p$_T$ charged di-hadron and di-jet production at a future high energy, high luminosity Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The Sivers function is a measure for the anisotropy of the parton distributions in momentum space inside a transversely polarized nucleon. It is proposed that it can be studied through single spin asymmetries in the photon-gluon fusion subprocess in electron proton collisions at the EIC. Using a well tuned Monte Carlo model for deep inelastic scattering, we estimate the possible constraints of the GSF from the future EIC data. A comparison of all the accessible measurements illustrates that the di-jet channel is the most promising way to constrain the magnitude of the GSF over a wide kinematic range.
Accreting magnetars: linking ultraluminous X-ray pulsars and the slow pulsation X-ray pulsars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Possible manifestations of accreting magnetars are discussed. It is shown that the four ultra-luminous X-ray pulsars can be understood in the accreting low magnetic field magnetar scenario. The NGC300 ULX1 pulsar may have a higher dipole magnetic field than other sources. General constraint on their mass accretion rate confirmed their super-Eddington nature. Lower limits on their beaming factor are obtained. They do not seem to have strong beaming. The duty cycle of the ULX burst state can also be constrained by their timing observations. ULX pulsars may be in accretion equilibrium in the long run. During the outburst, they will spin up, and run from the previous equilibrium state to the new equilibrium state. It is proposed that the slowest puslation X-ray pulsar AX J1910.7+0917 may be an accreting magnetar with a low mass accretion rate. ULX pulsars, slow pulsation X-ray pulsars may all be accreting magnetars with different accretion rates. Seven possible signatures of an accreting magnetar are summarized.

Theoretical studies of charge transfer excitations, absorption, and polarisation in organic photovoltaic materials
Creators: name: Few, Sheridan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: To optimise organic photovoltaic devices, design rules relating chemical and physical structure to the ability of the active material to absorb light, separate charges and transport charges, are required. We assess the predictive power of computational modelling techniques, comparing results with experiment. In Chapter 4, we calculate the influence of chemical structure on conformation and light absorption in conjugated polymers, and explain the remarkably high optical absorption in poly-thieno[3,2b]-thiophene-diketo-pyrrolopyrrole-co-thiophene (PDPP-TT-T) in terms of its high persistence length. We calculate that diketopyrrolopyrrole does not act as an electron acceptor in PDPP-TT-T or other oligomers, and find no correlation between transition dipole moment and degree of charge transfer between units. Chapter 5 reviews recent developments in modelling charge pair generation, focussing on electronic structure calculations of interfacial states, electrostatic models, excited state dynamics, and remaining challenges in achieving a predictive approach. In Chapter 6, we study the influence of chemical structure and mutual position of oligomer:fullerene pairs on interfacial state properties using time-dependent density functional theory, reproducing energy trends measured by electroluminescence in corresponding polymer:fullerene systems. For several isoindigo and diketopyrrolopyrrole based cooligomers, we calculate a lowest excitation energy close in energy to that of pairs with fullerene. The natures and energies of these pair states are strongly dependent on fullerene position. We calculate the effect of thiophene substitution in PDPP-TT-T, and rationalise observed charge separation efficiency of corresponding experimental systems. In Chapter 7, we calculate the influence of chemical structure on electronic polarisabilities of functionalised fullerenes using the Hartree Fock method, and the influence of molecular polarisability, lattice structure, and direction of charge separation on dielectric constants in C60 and PCBM, using a polarisable dipole model. We calculate the influence of electronic polarisation on charge delocalisation, and its dependence upon chemical structure and packing, and discuss relevance to charge transport properties.

description: We use new near-infrared spectroscopy and our published optical spectroscopy of the gravitationally-lensed Seyfert-2 galaxy F10214+4724 to study both the links between the starburst and AGN in this object and the properties of the inner narrow-line clouds. The UV spectrum is consistent with a compact, moderately- reddened starburst providing about half the UV light. Spectroscopy of the Halpha /[NII] line blend has enabled us to distinguish emission from the narrow-line region of the Seyfert-2 and a moderately-reddened emission line region which we argue is associated with the starburst. Estimates of the star formation rate from the UV continuum flux and the Halpha flux are broadly consistent. We can explain the unusual emission line properties of F10214+4724 in terms of conventional models for nearby Seyfert-2 galaxies if lensing is preferentially magnifying the side of the inner narrow-line region between the AGN and the observer, and the other side is both less magnified and partially obscured by the torus. The hydrogen densities of clouds in this region are high enough to make the Balmer lines optically thick and to suppress forbidden emission lines with low critical densities. We have deduced the column density of both ionised and neutral gas in the narrow-line clouds, and the density of the ionised gas. Using these we have been able to estimate the mass of the inner narrow-line clouds to be ~ 1 solar mass, and show that the gas:dust ratio NH/E(B-V) in these clouds must be ~1.3x10^{27}m^{-2}mag^{-1}, significantly higher than in the Milky Way. The cloud properties are consistent with the those of the warm absorbers seen in the X-ray spectra of Seyfert-1 galaxies. Our results favour models in which narrow-line clouds start close to the nucleus and flow out.

The integration in the variables associated with the $so(d)$ part of the character can be recast into a more explicit form using derivatives.

Local and remote impacts of regional aerosol emissions on climate
Creators: name: Kasoar, Matthew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Aerosols are short-lived in the atmosphere, and so their distribution and climate forcing is very inhomogeneous. To understand the behaviour of the climate system in response to inhomogeneous forcing, and to inform emission policy choices, we must investigate how emissions from individual geographic regions affect the climate regionally and globally. I present here the results of two interwoven modelling studies. First, I analyse the simulated temperature response to perturbing sulfur dioxide emissions over a specific region – China – in three current generation climate models. Second, I systematically investigate with a single model the temperature and precipitation responses to black carbon and sulfur dioxide emissions from the United States, Europe, East Asia, and India. These simulations reveal in the first instance that there is very large uncertainty around aerosol-climate interactions in present climate models. Removing SO2 emissions from China results in a six-fold difference in the optical depth and short-wave flux changes over China between different models, and the resulting surface temperature response is poorly constrained. However, the subsequent systematic perturbations indicate that in the event the regional forcing is large, then there are striking features of the climate response that are consistent across different perturbation locations. Emission changes always result not only in a strong local response around the emission region, but also a strong remote response, the pattern of which is insensitive to the original location of emission changes. There is, however, variation in the efficacy with which emissions from different regions force the climate, with US and European sulphur dioxide emission changes having a larger effect than East Asian emission changes. The results presented here are relevant for understanding the effect of potential future emission controls, and also for understanding how the climate responds to different localised forcings, which has not been tested in complex coupled climate models previously.
A Lower Limit on Omega-Lambda Using Gravitational Lensing in the Hubble Deep Field

description: We calculate the expected number of multiply-imaged galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF), using photometric redshift information for galaxies with $m_I < 27$ that were detected in all four HDF passbands. A comparison of these expectations with the observed number of strongly lensed galaxies places a lower limit on the current value of $Ω_m-Ω_Λ$, where $Ω_m$ is the cosmological mass density of the universe and $Ω_Λ$ is the normalized cosmological constant. Based on current estimates of the HDF luminosity function and associated uncertainties in individual parameters, our 95% confidence lower limit on $Ω_m-Ω_Λ$ is between -0.44, if there are no strongly lensed galaxies in the HDF, and -0.73, if there are two strongly lensed galaxies in the HDF. If the only lensed galaxy in the HDF is the one presently viable candidate, then, in a flat universe ($Ω_m+Ω_Λ=1$), $Ω_Λ < 0.79$ (95% C.L.). These lower limits are compatible with estimates based on high-redshift supernovae and with previous limits based on gravitational lensing.

A method for extracting maximum resolution power spectra from galaxy surveys
Creators: name: Tegmark, Max
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The power spectrum estimated from a galaxy redshift survey is the real spectrum convolved with a window function, so when estimating the power on very large scales (for small k), it is important that this window function be as narrow as possible. A method that achieves this is presented. The optimal estimate of P(k) is found to be the Fourier transform of the number density fluctuations (n/nbar - 1) weighted by a function psi_0, and the optimal psi_0 is found to be the ground-state solution of the Schoedinger equation, with the inverse selection function as the potential. This quantum mechanics analogy occurs basically because we want the weight function to be narrow both in Fourier space (to give a narrow window) and in real space (to minimize the variance from shot noise). An optimal method for averaging the estimates at different k-vectors is also presented, generalizing the standard procedure of averaging over shells in k-space. Finally, a discrete version of the method is presented, dividing space into ``fuzzy pixels", which has the advantage of being able to handle redshift distortions in a straightforward way.

Depositional architecture and facies variability in anhydrite and polyhalite sequences: a multi-scale study of the Jurassic (Weald Basin, Brightling Mine) and Permian (Zechstein Basin, Boulby Mine) of the UK
Creators: name: Abbott, Sunshine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Quantifying the geometries of evaporite deposits at a <1 km scale is critical in our understanding of similar ancient depositional systems, but is challenging given evaporite mineral dissolution at surface conditions. Two high-resolution stratigraphic studies in mines provide insight into the geometries, dimensions, and spatial distributions of sedimentary bodies in 3-D at a <1-km scale in evaporites. A field mapping study was conducted in Brightling (Purbeck Group) and Boulby (Zechstein Group) mines, in southeast and northeast England, respectively. This is integrated with XRD, petrography, and δ13C and δ18O isotope analyses. The evolution and conditions of sedimentation during the Tithonian in the Weald Basin is also evaluated. A newly defined megasequence boundary at the base of the Purbeck Group is suggested to mark the onset of rifting of the Bay of Biscay and to the north of the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone, which implies an earlier rifting phase than previously proposed. Basal Purbeck lateral facies changes are influenced by the position in the Weald Basin, normal fault systems, and relative sea level changes. In Brightling Mine, the basal Purbeck exhibits carbonate-evaporite shoaling upward cycles, likely controlled by localized high-frequency relative sea level changes and/or sabkha hydrology. The dynamic process of evaporite deposition led to subtle stratigraphic heterogeneities and changes in bed thicknesses, but largely continuous lateral bedding. Boulby Mine offers a unique opportunity to study early deformation structures in ancient polyhalite that formed in playa conditions. The controlling mechanism that formed these syndepositional polyhalite tepees is attributed to soft sediment deformation via polyhalite dewatering coupled with penecontemporaneous precipitation of halite during fluid escape. This study offers new insight into the types of heterogeneity observed in ancient evaporites formed in marginal playa and sabkha environments at a <1 km-scale, which can include a variety of compositions and morphologies at a range of scales.

Clinical biology of OPCML and its potential therapeutic applications in ovarian and breast cancers
Creators: name: Louis, Louay
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Opioid binding protein cell adhesion molecule like (OPCML), is a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored cell adhesion molecule, that was discovered by our lab to be somatically methylated with its expression silenced in over 80% of epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) (Sellar, Watt et al. 2003). This was subsequently confirmed and further expanded by other groups to include many other tumours (Czekierdowski, Czekierdowska et al. 2006, Yao, Li et al. 2006, Zhang, Ye et al. 2006, Chen, Ye et al. 2007). OPCML exhibited the functional characteristics of a tumour suppressor gene (TSG) both in vitro and in vivo (Sellar, Watt et al. 2003). Our lab has defined the function of OPCML, acting on a disparate set of RTKs (EphA2, FGFR1, FGFR3, HER2, HER4) by being a systems level regulator that ultimately leads to phospho ERK (pERK) and phospho AKT (pAKT) down-regulation, inducing apoptosis and growth inhibition in cancer but not normal cells (McKie, Vaughan et al. 2012). The overall aim of this PhD was to investigate the use of OPCML as a targeted therapy in ovarian cancer. The key finding of this thesis is the evidence of potential therapeutic effects of OPCML along with other targeted therapies. Here, I report on in vitro sensitising effects of OPCML to anti-HER2 but not anti-EGFR therapy in ovarian and breast cancer cell lines, thus further confirming earlier group findings regarding OPCML selectivity with HER2 but not EGFR. I have also explored the association of OPCML and different angiogenic factors; namely VEGFA and the VEGFR family, with evidence that OPCML expression decreases levels of VEGFR3 as demonstrated by western blotting under different stimulation conditions, FACS and pull down experiments. Another part of this thesis explores further characterisation of OPCML at the cellular protein level via the use of reverse phase protein microarray (RPPA), and further western blots to validate some of the results as well as proliferation assays confirming the growth inhibition properties of OPCML transiently transfected into a biologically varied group of ovarian cancer cell lines. The final part shows attempts to further develop a recombinant OPCML (rOPCML) that mimic the function of the original gene in prokaryotic and later in HEK293 mammalian cell vector which proved challenging. A ‘sandwich’ ELISA plate to measure the generated His-tagged rOPCML protein was developed en route. In conclusion, this PhD thesis progressed our understanding of OPCML biology and its potential future use as targeted therapy in cancer.

description: We compute the one-loop free energies of the type-A$_\ell$ and type-B$_\ell$ higher-spin gravities in $(d+1)$-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS$_{d+1}$) spacetime. For large $d$ and $\ell$, these theories have a complicated field content, and hence it is difficult to compute their zeta functions using the usual methods. Applying the character integral representation of zeta function developed in the companion paper arXiv:1805.05646 to these theories, we show how the computation of their zeta function can be shortened considerably. We find that the results previously obtained for the massless theories ($\ell=1$) generalize to their partially-massless counterparts (arbitrary $\ell$) in arbitrary dimensions.

description: The design of novel proteins has many applications but remains an attritional process with success in isolated cases. Meanwhile, deep learning technologies have exploded in popularity in recent years and are increasingly applicable to biology due to the rise in available data. We attempt to link protein design and deep learning by using variational autoencoders to generate protein sequences conditioned on desired properties. Potential copper and calcium binding sites are added to non-metal binding proteins without human intervention and compared to a hidden Markov model. In another use case, a grammar of protein structures is developed and used to produce sequences for a novel protein topology. One candidate structure is found to be stable by molecular dynamics simulation. The ability of our model to confine the vast search space of protein sequences and to scale easily has the potential to assist in a variety of protein design tasks.

description: We present deep CCD photometry of the globular cluster M13 (NGC 6205) in the Stromgren uvby-Beta system, and determine a foreground reddening of E(b-y)= 0.015mag. From a fit to the main-sequence of metal-poor subdwarfs with Hipparcos parallaxes, we derive (m-M)_0=14.38 +- 0.10 which implies an age near 12 Gyr assuming [Fe/H]=-1.61 and [Alpha/Fe]=0.3. The distance independent ((b-y)_0, c_0) diagram indicates that M13 and metal-poor field subdwarfs of similar metallicity must be coeval to within +-1 Gyr. In addition, we find that, at any given (b-y)_0 color, there is a large spread in the c_0 index for M13 red-giant branch (RGB) stars. We suspect that this scatter, which extends at least as faint as the base of the RGB, is most likely due to star-to-star variations in the atmospheric abundances of the CNO elements. We also note the existence of what appears to be two separate stellar populations on the HB of M13. Among other possibilities, it could arise as the result of differences in the extent to which deep mixing occurs in the precursor red giants.

description: Radiative symmetry breaking (RSB) is a theoretically appealing framework for the generation of mass scales through quantum effects. It can be successfully implemented in models with extended scalar and gauge sectors. We provide a systematic analysis of RSB in such models: we review the common approximative methods of studying RSB, emphasising their limits of applicability and discuss the relevance of the relative magnitudes of tree-level and loop contributions as well as the dependence of the results on the renormalisation scale. The general considerations are exemplified within the context of the conformal Standard Model extended with a scalar doublet of a new SU(2)$_X$ gauge group, the so-called SU(2)cSM. We show that various perturbative methods of studying RSB may yield significantly different results due to renormalisation-scale dependence. Implementing the renormalisation-group (RG) improvement method recently developed in arXiv:1801.05258, which is well-suited for multi-scale models, we argue that the use of the RG improved effective potential can alleviate this scale dependence providing more reliable results.

Epidemiological dynamics of Mycobacterium bovis and population suppression in badgers (Meles meles)
Creators: name: Beckley, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Bovine TB in cattle is a major economic problem in the UK, costing the government approximately £100m a year. Badgers are a wildlife host of the infection that causes bovine TB, and there is strong evidence that they transmit the infection to cattle. Understanding the ecology and epidemiology of infected badger populations is therefore crucial for implementing disease management strategies relating to badgers. Genetic and phenotypic data of badgers captured during a large-scale field trial of repeated, widespread badger culls were used to assess the importance of parental roles on the impacts of badger culling. Further ecological and epidemiological dynamics were investigated through developing a stochastic simulation model of an infected badger population. An estimated 72.8% of badgers were captured during initial culls of the trial, and an estimated 57.8% during follow-up culls, based on badger parentage assignments. Further analyses of these parentage assignments revealed evidence of a genetic predisposition in infection susceptibility from parents to cubs, but no evidence of a significant infection transmission route from mothers to their young, dependent cubs. There was also no evidence that badger welfare was compromised during the trial through not capturing dependent cubs of culled mothers. Analysis of a simulation model found that moderate levels of disease-induced mortality in an infected badger population could significantly reduce the size of badger social groups with a higher prevalence of infection. The impact of these findings relating to potential disease management strategies is discussed, together with suggested directions for future research.

A fast adhesive discrete element method for random packings of fine particles

description: Introducing a reduced particle stiffness in discrete element method (DEM) allows for bigger time steps and therefore fewer total iterations in a simulation. Although this approach works well for dry non-adhesive particles, it has been shown that for fine particles with adhesion, system behaviors are drastically sensitive to the particle stiffness. Besides, a simple and applicable principle to set the parameters in adhesive DEM is also lacking. To solve these two problems, we first propose a fast DEM based on scaling laws to reduce particle Young's modulus, surface energy and to modify rolling and sliding resistances simultaneously in the framework of Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR)-based contact theory. A novel inversion method is then presented to help users to quickly determine the damping coefficient, particle stiffness and surface energy to reproduce a prescribed experimental result. After validating this inversion method, we apply the fast adhesive DEM to packing problems of microparticles. Measures of packing fraction, averaged coordination number and distributions of local packing fraction and contact number of each particle are in good agreement with results simulated using original value of particle properties. The new method should be helpful to accelerate DEM simulations for systems associated with aggregates or agglomerates.

description: We report I-band observations of the GRB 980329 field made on March 29 with the 1.34-m Tautenberg Schmidt telescope, R-, J- and K-band observations made on April 1 with the APO 3.5-m telescope, R- and I-band observations made on April 3 with the Mayall 4-m telescope at KPNO, and J- and K-band observations made between April 6 - 8 with the Keck-I 10-m telescope. We show that these and other reported measurements are consistent with a power-law fading of the optical/near infrared source that is coincident with the variable radio source VLA J0702+3850. This firmly establishes that this source is the afterglow of GRB 980329.

The local excision of rectal lesions: can improved visualisation and imaging optimise the chances of success?
Creators: name: Di Marco, Aimee Natasha
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Rectal cancer and its precursor benign lesions are a significant health problem worldwide. The concept of their management has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years away from a focus solely on complete oncological clearance, towards a finely tuned balance between oncological outcome and functional results. This concept is of particular importance in the management of the elderly and of benign lesions, two areas likely to grow in demand with our aging populations and move towards adoption of screening programs. Historically, the local excision of rectal lesions was an operation of necessity in the absence of anaesthesia or antisepsis, but was reinvented as the Transanal Endoscopic MicroSurgical (TEMS) excision; a precise and highly skilled procedure designed to avoid the overtreatment and functional compromise of radical surgery. The technique and platform for TEMS requires significant financial outlay by an institution and even more commitment by a surgeon to undertake this ergonomically taxing operation. The need for a good method of local excision driven by population and attitudinal changes is therefore currently not met satisfactorily by the available platforms for local transanal excision. This thesis examines the context and development of the original TEMS platform and then analyses the subsequent developments, and the requirement for improvements. The key area of visualization: macroscopic and subsurface are selected for exploration: a phantom on which to test new concepts is validated and the introduction of a novel 3D macroscopic viewing system and a subsurface ultrasound imaging probe are described. Finally, the resulting 3D viewing system and ultrasound image augmentation are translated from bench to operating theatre in a patient case series: the process required to facilitate this and outcomes of this pilot study are presented. The hope is that this work will prepare the ground for further technical improvements to the platforms for transanal local excision and lead to a larger clinical trial.

COLD ACCRETION DISKS WITH CORONAE AND ADVECTION
Creators: name: Chen, Xingming
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Cold optically thick accretion disks with hot coronae and radial advection have been investigated. Within the framework of $α$-viscosity models, we assume that all the mass accretion and angular momentum transport take place in the cold disk, but that a fraction of the gravitational energy released is dissipated in the corona. Both the coronal energy dissipation and the advection heat transport have a stabilization effect on the thermal and viscous instabilities of the disk. If that more than $\sim 95$ percent of the total power is dissipated in the corona, then the locally unstable behavior of the disk is restricted to a relatively narrow spatial region and is found to lie in a small range of mass accretion rates. The global temporal variability of the disk can be very mild or may disappear, and which may be applicable to the low-frequency ($\sim 0.04$~Hz) quasi-periodic oscillations observed in black hole candidates Cyg X--1 and GRO J0422+32.
