Models for designing pipe-grade polyethylenes to resist rapid crack propagation
Creators: name: Argyrakis, Christos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Plastic pipeline systems have now become dominant for fuel-gas and water distribution networks. Although they have an impressive service record failures do occur, with Rapid Crack Propagation being characterised as the least probable but most potentially catastrophic one. This study investigates the effect of structural morphology and bulk residual strains on the RCP performance of polyethylene pipes, and proposes a new methodology for predicting a safe service envelope. During crack propagation in PE pipes, the fracture surface has two distinct regions; plane strain and plane stress. In addition to the Instrumented Charpy, Reversed Charpy, High Speed Double Torsion, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and uniaxial tensile testing, S4 tests of extruded pipe specimens were employed in order to evaluate the structural and fracture parameters of pipe grade resins in these two fracture modes on pipe. A new experimental technique, which modified the pipe bore crystallinity without altering the residual strain field (as evaluated from slit ring tests) showed that the bore surface layer properties had much less influence on RCP than previously thought. Parallel with the experimental work, modeling of the fracture mechanisms was also undertaken. Using previous models in the field, such as the adiabatic decohesion model, the plane strain fracture toughness was evaluated while the plane stress fracture toughness was evaluated either from the Reversed Charpy or from the stability of adiabatic drawing in a tensile test. A mixed mode, temperature sensitive toughness was finally evaluated, leading to an overall fracture properties assessment for polyethylene pipes which could be compared directly to the crack driving force during RCP in pipe. By employing a new mathematical approach, which incorporated both the effects of residual strains and pipe stiffness behind the pressure decay length, a previous basic analytical RCP model was further developed and compared to more elaborate finite element and finite volume solutions. The new results were also compared to S4 experiments using high-speed photography and showed that the new methodology could be employed by the end user even when testing facilities are not directly available

description: On September 21, 1978, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological investigation of site NA15,693, a narrow gauge railroad alignment originally recorded during surveys for the proposed Salt River Project (SRP) Silverking-to-Kyrene, East End, Transmission Line. Fieldwork was conducted by Ronald K. Yablon. The data recovery program for this site consisted of comprehensively photographing the grade and plotting the location of the still existing sections. The results of these studies and subsequent archival research will be presented in the project final report. These data recovery procedures were agreed to by Tonto National Forest (Jon Scott Wood and Charlie Miller), SRP (Bettina H. Rosenberg), State Historic Preservation Office (Frank Fryman) and Museum of Northern Arizona (Donald E. Weaver, Jr. and Ronald K. Yablon) representatives during an on-site inspection tour conducted on September 12, 1978. This is a preliminary report.

description: We use physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to compute the first quasi-normal modes of the Kerr geometry via the Teukolsky equation. This technique allows us to extract the complex frequencies and separation constants of the equation without the need for sophisticated numerical techniques, and with an almost immediate implementation under the \texttt{PyTorch} framework. We are able to compute the oscillation frequencies and damping times for arbitrary black hole spins and masses, with accuracy typically below the percentual level as compared to the accepted values in the literature. We find that PINN-computed quasi-normal modes are indistinguishable from those obtained through existing methods at signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) larger than 100, making the former reliable for gravitational-wave data analysis in the mid term, before the arrival of third-generation detectors like LISA or the Einstein Telescope, where SNRs of ${\cal O}(1000)$ might be achieved.

A context is provided for Sayana's statement (14th century)that the speed is 2,202 yojanas per half nimesha (186,000 miles per second!). It is shown how this statement may have emerged from early Puranic notions regarding the size of the universe. Although this value can only be considered to be an amazing coincidence, the Puranic cosmology at the basis of this assertion illuminates many ancient ideas of space and time.

description: Electrical and structural characterization of nano-particles are very important steps to determine their potential applications in microelectronics. In this paper, we adress the crystallographic and electric transport properties of soft-chemistry-grown nanometric Pt tribranches. We report that Pt nanostars grown from the reduction of $\text{H}_{2}\text{PtCl}_6$ salt in pure oleylamine present a remarkable crystalline structure and a deeply metallic character despite being grown under mild conditions. We demonstrate that such devices are able to operate at current densities surpassing $200$ MA/$\text{cm}^2$, actuating as highly compact frequency multiplexers in the non-ohmic regime.

description: The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted archaeological investigations at site NA 15, 718. The site is located in the Tonto National Forest, northwest of Superior, Arizona. Investigations revealed a moderately dense sherd and lithic scatter. There are 11 cobble features, 6 of which are check dams, 4 are habitation units and the remaining feature has an unknown function. The remains represent a Salado occupation probably dating to the late prehistoric period (A.D. 1150 to 1450). The subsistence pattern is based on domestic agriculture, supplemented by abundant wild floral resources (jojoba, saguaro, and palo verde). This is a preliminary report.
Characterisation of an alternative splice variant of LKB1
Creators: name: Denison, Fiona Clare
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The LKB1 protein kinase has previously been implicated in a number of major physiological processes including cell proliferation, polarity and energy metabolism. LKB1 is an upstream kinase for AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and 12 members of the AMPK-related family of kinases. In this study, western blotting of LKB1 from various mouse tissues indicated the existence of two molecular weight bands in testis. This, along with the presence of a potential alternative exon at the 3’ end of the gene, led to the discovery that an alternatively-spliced variant of LKB1 is present in mice. This new splice variant has been termed the ‘short form’ (LKB1S) and the original protein termed the ‘long form’ (LKB1L). The proteins are identical in sequence apart from the C-terminus. The overall aim of this study was to characterise the LKB1S protein; its activity, regulation and possible physiological function, using overexpression studies in mammalian cells and analysis of mice lacking LKB1S. An LKB1S-specific antibody was used to show that LKB1S is primarily expressed in testis. It was demonstrated, using overexpression studies, that both forms can activate AMPK, form an active complex with the regulatory proteins STRADα, STRADβ and MO25 and have a similar sub-cellular localisation. The C-terminus of mouse/human LKB1L can be phosphorylated at serine 431/428 (Sapkota et al., 2001). This residue is absent from LKB1S and so the effect of phosphorylation was investigated to determine if this could lead to differences in activity between the splice forms. However, the results suggest that phosphorylation at this site does not affect the ability of LKB1L to activate AMPK in cells. Male mice lacking expression of LKB1S are infertile. The mice display severe sperm abnormalities and sperm counts are significantly reduced. Histological analysis of testis showed that although early spermatogenesis appears to progress normally, abnormalities become apparent later on, culminating in very few spermatozoa reaching the epididymis. One possible reason that has been investigated is that there is a defect in the release of mature sperm from the seminiferous epithelium (spermiation).
Generalization of Weierstrassian Elliptic Functions to ${\bf R}^{n}$

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

description: The Weierstrassian $\wp, ζ$ and $σ$ functions are generalized to ${\bf R}^{n}$. The $n=3$ and $n=4$ cases have already been used in gravitational and Yang-Mills instanton solutions which may be interpreted as explicit realizations of spacetime foam and the monopole condensate, respectively. The new functions satisfy higher dimensional versions of the periodicity properties and Legendre's relations obeyed by their familiar complex counterparts. For $n=4$, the construction reproduces functions found earlier by Fueter using quaternionic methods. Integrating over lattice points along all directions but two, one recovers the original Weierstrassian elliptic functions.

description: A total of 21 proposed dike and ditch emplacements were surveyed along the Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad by the Museum of Northern Arizona between March 15 and July 26, 1977. The survey was performed at the request of Salt River Project. Although most of the emplacements were staked, a few were not. These required survey of a broad area of land around the supposed location of the emplacement to insure adequate coverage. One site, NA15,228, was recorded by the survey in Feature 10. The site is a small sherd and lithic scatter of the Cibola Anasazi culture and may date from the Pueblo III period. It is located on the side of a small knoll on the north side of a broad shallow valley. It is recommended that the site be carefully surface mapped and collected and sample excavated by machine in accordance with the revised mitigation strategy (Marmaduke 1977:14). The remainder of the emplacements where no sites were noted are recommended for clearance. This file includes related correspondence.

Design and Characterisation of Blue Polymer Lasers
Creators: name: Wellinger, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Semiconducting polymers have attracted considerable attention as novel gain materials for laser devices. An important future target in this context is the realisation of a thin- film polymer laser diode. Since inorganic semiconductors are amongst the most important devices in modern optoelectronic technology, there is a lot of interest in achieving electrically pumped laser action in organic semiconductors as a way to broadly tunable lasers covering the whole visible spectrum and producing low-cost laser sources for optical networks. This thesis reports the results of a study on the design and characterisation of optically pumped blue and violet emitting polymer lasers. The laser devices are based on a range of materials belonging to the polyfluorene family of conjugated polymers which generally show efficient, low threshold stimulated emission. For future electrically pumped polymer lasers, a further reduction of the threshold is crucial since a low threshold fluence directly translates into low current densities. The optical properties of in total three polyfluorene copolymers are investigated. Lasers based on one of these copolymers are optically-pumped and emission wavelength tuning is demonstrated by altering both grating period and gain polymer thickness, allowing us to cover a part of the spectral region between the blue and ultra-violet that has not been addressed yet by organic semiconductor lasers. Furthermore, a systematic numerical study of the optical environment on the performance of blue emitting lasers on conducting DFB resonators is presented, which is followed by a demonstration of optically-pumped polymer lasers based on ITO gratings. Finally, the results of a systematic study into optically pumped blue emitting polymer lasers based on circular Bragg (CBR) resonators is reported. An optimised design strategy is implemented and involves matching the grating pro files with the nulls and maxima from the Bessel functions that represent the radial distribution of the fi eld in a circular resonator.

Microscopic theory of nonlinear phase space filling in polaritonic lattices

description: We develop a full microscopic theory for a nonlinear phase space filling (NPSF) in strongly coupled two-dimensional polaritonic lattices. Ubiquitous in polaritonic experiments, the theoretical description of NPSF, remains limited to perturbative treatment and homogeneous samples. In this study, we go beyond the existing theoretical description and discover the broad scope of regimes where NPSF crucially modifies the optical response. Studying the quantum effects of non-bosonicity, cooperative light-matter coupling, and Coulomb blockade, we reveal several regimes for observing the nonlinear Rabi splitting quench due to the phase space filling. Unlike prior studies, we derive nonlinear Rabi frequency scaling all the way to the saturation limit and show that the presence of a lattice potential leads to qualitatively distinct nonlinearity. We concentrate on three regimes of NPSF: 1) planar; 2) fractured; and 3) ultralocalized. In planar saturation, the Rabi frequency decreases exponentially as a function of exciton density. For the fractured case, where excitons form a lattice with sites exceeding the exciton size, we discover fast NPSF at low occupation in the lattice. This is followed by slower NPSF as the medium becomes fully saturated. This behavior is particularly pronounced in the presence of Coulomb (or Rydberg) blockade, where regions of fast and slow NPSF depend on the strength of repulsion. For the ultralocalized NPSF, we observe the square-root saturation typical to the collection of two-level systems. Our findings can help describing recent observations of strong nonlinearity in heterobilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides where Moir{é} lattices emerge naturally [Nature \textbf{591}, 61 (2021)]. The theory also opens the prospects for engineering strongly nonlinear responses of polaritonic lattices with patterned samples, driving polaritonics into the quantum regime.

Closure relations of the one-dimensional two-fluid model for the simulation of slug flows
Creators: name: Montini, Marco
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The present research is a development of an existing numerical methodology, based on a one-dimensional two-fluid model. This model is capable of simulating two-phase slug flow for horizontal and nearly horizontal pipes, using a slug capturing technique. However, the governing system of equations is known to be only conditionally wellposed. The main objective of the research is to extend the applicability of the model to a wider range of cases, through the introduction of various closure models, which aim to better describe the physics of the flow. The approach to the problem starts from a mathematical evaluation of additional relations for the equation system in order to study their contribution to the well-posedness of the problem by means of a characteristics analysis. A stability analysis provides information on the growth rate of the instabilities: if this growth rate is bounded for short wavelength instabilities the system can be considered well-posed. Among the closure relations studied and tested are those relating to the effects of surface tension, virtual mass (due to relative acceleration), shape of velocity profiles and axial diffusion. Suitable closure relationships are then implemented and tested in the numerical code and the results are validated against available experimental data for slug flows. For a successful improved model, numerical results must be both in good agreement with experiments and converge to the same solutions with grid refinement, which is a clear manifestation of the well-posedness of the system. The main advance made in this research project comes from the formulation, analysis and implementation of appropriate coefficients for the inclusion of diffusive terms in the mathematical and numerical model. It was found that these terms are able to render the system of equations well-posed and that the results of simulations are in good agreement with the experimental evidence for slug flow cases.

Study into the role of lactadherin as a tumour associated antigen and angiogenesis factor - investigating HuMc3 (Angiolix®) as a therapeutic antibody for cancer
Creators: name: Bonney, Laura Catherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Lactadherin is a glycoprotein thought to have roles in cancer progression, through ligation of integrins αvβ3 and/or αvβ5 on the surface of tumour cells and their vasculature. It is thought to promote tumour growth through activation of integrin signalling pathways in both tumour and vascular endothelial cells, leading to direct tumour expansion and indirect tumour growth through stimulation of angiogenesis. HuMc3 (Angiolix®) an antibody with affinity to the integrin binding EGF-like domain of lactadherin, has been shown to inhibit lactadherin association with αv integrin expressing cell lines. This work aimed to uncover whether through its disruption of lactadherin αvβ3 and/or αvβ5 integrin ligation, HuMc3 could prevent/slow the growth of lactadherin-overexpressing tumours. This work confirmed the ability of HuMc3 to inhibit lactadherin binding to both tumour cell and vascular endothelial cell αvβ3/αvβ5 integrins. It demonstrated a concentration-dependent growth inhibition of tumour xenografts in vivo alone and a greater effect for combination with a conventional chemotherapy drug than either therapy alone. In one tumour model HuMc3 showed a similar therapeutic effect when applied alone to an approved anti-vasculature anti-cancer therapeutic bevacizumab, though a lower effect was observed when both were applied with chemotherapy. HuMc3 showed no apparent therapeutic toxicity and in biodistribution studies, no specific uptake by any normal murine tissue. In addition, the in vivo data for HuMc3 compared fairly well with that published for other anti-cancer and anti-vasculature therapeutics approved/in clinical development. HuMc3 was therefore indicated to have the potential as a successful anti-cancer therapeutic for treatment of lactadherin over-expressing cancers. Further work may determine the optimal monotherapy concentration and may uncover better combinations with other targeted agents and conventional chemotherapy/radiotherapy. A major drawback of this work was however the lack of success of the in vitro assays, so the mode of action of HuMc3 could not be confirmed. Further work may involve repeating these assays under conditions shown successful in published work with other αvβ3/αvβ5 integrin ligand-mAb combinations, as well as repeating the in vivo work with inclusion of an isotypematched control antibody, tissue analysis to examine any changes to vascular density and with examination of the importance of antibody effector functions in the in vivo effect of HuMc3

description: Between February 18, 1976 and April 25, 1976 archaeological field work was conducted on the Coronado Generating Station ash disposal area and evaporation pond site for the Salt River Project, During this time 3.25 square miles were surveyed and 33 sites recorded. In addition to the fieldwork, analytical and write up phases of the project were carried out between May 3 and July 19, 1976. These phases provide a description and analysis of archaeological sites and artifactual materials from the study area. This is a draft review copy with annotations.

description: We carry out a compact phase space analysis of a non-canonical scalar field theory whose Lagrangian is of the form $F(X)-V(ϕ)$ within general relativity. In particular, we focus on a kinetic term of the form $F(X)=βX^m$ with power law potential $V_0 ϕ^n$ and exponential potential $V_0 e^{-λϕ/M_{Pl}}$ of the scalar field. The main aim of this work is to investigate the genericity of nonsingular bounce in these models and to investigate the cosmic future of the bouncing cosmologies when they are generic. A global dynamical system formulation that is particularly suitable for investigating nonsingular bouncing cosmologies is used to carry out the analysis. We show that when $F(X)=βX^m$ ($β<0$), nonsingular bounce is generic for a power law potential $V(ϕ) = V_0 ϕ^n$ only within the parameter range $\left\lbrace \frac{1}{2}

description: Processing programs as data is one of the successes of functional and logic programming. Higher-order functions, as program-processing programs are called in functional programming, and meta-programs, as they are called in logic programming, are widespread declarative programming techniques. In logic programming, there is a gap between the meta-programming practice and its theory: The formalisations of meta-programming do not explicitly address its impredicativity and are not fully adequate. This article aims at overcoming this unsatisfactory situation by discussing the relevance of impredicativity to meta-programming, by revisiting former formalisations of meta-programming and by defining Reflective Predicate Logic, a conservative extension of first-order logic, which provides a simple formalisation of meta-programming.

description: According to an ancient Indian text (c. 1700 BC?), the heavens are 1000 earth diameters away from the earth. Other texts took the sun to be halfway to the heavens, so this suggests a distance of the sun about 500 earth diameters from the earth. The confirmation for this supposition comes from the later theories (c. 500 AD) from the same region and from Greek ideas that speak of roughly the same distance. We suggest that this original conception was transformed by the later Indian and Greek theories in different ways to deal with contradictory data related to outer planet periods.

description: Roosevelt Dam comprises the key structure in one of the first major federally sponsored reclamation projects in the West. Authorized as one of the Reclamation Service's first projects in 1903, it continues to store water for agricultural lands, homeowners, and industrial concerns in the Phoenix region that are served by the Salt River Project. Used to impound floodwaters of the Salt River, the 280-foot-high Roosevelt Dam was distinguished as the tallest and last major stone masonry gravity dams at the time of its completion. It was intended to be the flagship of the Reclamation Service, a symbol of government permanency, stability and power.

description: In this interview, Grace discusses her life in New York City, with a focus on her drug use. She discusses her Catholic upbringing, her public school education, and her job as a waitress at Stouffer's Restaurant in Pershing Square, Manhattan. She also delves into her two marriages, the first in 1939, and the second in 1961. She discusses her addiction to codeine, and explains how she first became addicted after her doctor prescribed it to her for a severe chest cold. She also describes symptoms she would experience when she tried to stop taking the codeine after a year of daily use, including painful leg cramps, watery eyes, and throat draining. She describes how she was able to continuously fill her prescriptions at various Manhattan and Brooklyn drugstores with no issues. She discusses the various hospitals she visited for detoxification from codeine, including Metropolitan Hospital Center, Manhattan General Hospital, and New York City Health and Hospitals/Coney Island. She compares codeine and methadone, and discusses her experience in the methadone program

description: We consider `brane universe' scenarios with standard-model fields localized on a 3-brane in 6 spacetime dimensions. We show that if the spacetime is rotationally symmetric about the brane, local quantities in the bulk are insensitive to the couplings on the brane. This potentially allows compactifications where the effective 4-dimensional cosmological constant is independent of the couplings on the 3-brane. We consider several possible singularity-free compactification mechanisms, and find that they do not maintain this property. We also find solutions with naked spacetime singularities, and we speculate that new short-distance physics can become important near the singularities and allow a compactification with the desired properties. The picture that emerges is that standard-model loop contributions to the effective 4-dimensional cosmological constant can be cut off at distances shorter than the compactification scale. At shorter distance scales, renormalization effects due to standard-model fields renormalize the 3-brane tension, which changes a deficit angle in the transverse space without affecting local quantities in the bulk. For a compactification scale of order 10^{-2} mm, this gives a standard-model contribution to the cosmological constant in the range favored by cosmology.

StepNet: Spatial-temporal Part-aware Network for Isolated Sign Language Recognition

description: The goal of sign language recognition (SLR) is to help those who are hard of hearing or deaf overcome the communication barrier. Most existing approaches can be typically divided into two lines, i.e., Skeleton-based and RGB-based methods, but both the two lines of methods have their limitations. Skeleton-based methods do not consider facial expressions, while RGB-based approaches usually ignore the fine-grained hand structure. To overcome both limitations, we propose a new framework called Spatial-temporal Part-aware network~(StepNet), based on RGB parts. As its name suggests, it is made up of two modules: Part-level Spatial Modeling and Part-level Temporal Modeling. Part-level Spatial Modeling, in particular, automatically captures the appearance-based properties, such as hands and faces, in the feature space without the use of any keypoint-level annotations. On the other hand, Part-level Temporal Modeling implicitly mines the long-short term context to capture the relevant attributes over time. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our StepNet, thanks to spatial-temporal modules, achieves competitive Top-1 Per-instance accuracy on three commonly-used SLR benchmarks, i.e., 56.89% on WLASL, 77.2% on NMFs-CSL, and 77.1% on BOBSL. Additionally, the proposed method is compatible with the optical flow input and can produce superior performance if fused. For those who are hard of hearing, we hope that our work can act as a preliminary step.

description: Located in Buck County, Pennsylvania, the Split Site (36BU0449) is situated in a diabase boulder field, perched above extensive wetlands draining into Ridge Valley Creek. The site is divided into eastern and western halves by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension, which destroyed portions of the archaeological site during construction in the 1950s (Joel Dworsky, personal communication, November 5, 2019). The eastern half (Split Site East) produced a high volume of archaeological materials and cultural features. Eight projectile points and two stone cobble tools were recovered from the A and AB Horizons. The cobble tools and the projectile points were submitted for phytolith/starch and protein residue analyses, respectively, to determine what plants and animals were processed in the eastern half of the site.
Bosonic string with antisymmetric fields and a non-local Casimir effect

description: The coupling, in a non-standard way, of a bosonic string theory with a dilaton and antisymmetric fields is investigated. By integrating over the antisymmetric fields, a Coulomb-like interaction term is generated. The static potential of a theory of this kind is obtained from the corresponding non-local zeta function, in some approximation. An interpretation of the static potential as a type of non-local Casimir effect is given.

CXOU J160103.1-513353: another CCO with a carbon atmosphere?

description: We report on the analysis of XMM-Newton observations of the central compact object CXOU J160103.1-513353 located in the center of the non-thermally emitting supernova remnant (SNR) G330.2+1.0. The X-ray spectrum of the source is well described with either single-component carbon or two-component hydrogen atmosphere models. In the latter case, the observed spectrum is dominated by the emission from a hot component with a temperature ~3.9MK, corresponding to the emission from a hotspot occupying ~1% of the stellar surface (assuming a neutron star with mass M = 1.5M$_\odot$, radius of 12 km, and distance of ~5 kpc as determined for the SNR). The statistics of the spectra and obtained upper limits on the pulsation amplitude expected for a rotating neutron star with hot spots do not allow us to unambiguously distinguish between these two scenarios. We discuss, however, that while the non-detection of the pulsations can be explained by the unfortunate orientation in CXOU J160103.1-513353, this is not the case when the entire sample of similar objects is considered. We therefore conclude that the carbon atmosphere scenario is more plausible.
