description: This paper is about the construction of a family of centrally synergistic potential functions from a single modified trace function on SO(3). First, we demonstrate that it is possible to complete the construction through angular warping with multiple directions, particularly effective in the unresolved cases in the literature. Second, it can be shown that for each potential function in the family, there exists a subset of the family such that the synergistic gap is positive at the unwanted critical points. This allows the switching condition to be checked within the selected subsets while implementing synergistic hybrid control. Furthermore, the positive lower bound of synergistic gap is explicitly expressed by selecting a traditional warping angle function. Finally, we apply the proposed synergistic potential functions to obtain robust global attitude tracking.

The diversity of sequence alignment and tree space at high parameter density
Creators: name: Borrow, Christopher Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: When attempting to characterise communities by their phylogenetic diversity, Scarabaeinae provide an ideal model system. Historically three genes, cox1, 28S and 16S, have been widely used in phylogenetic studies for members of the Coleoptera and this is also the case for the Scarabaeinae. Two of these genes, 28S and 16S, are length variable. The alignment of nucleotide sequence data containing multiple insertion and deletion events is a notoriously difficult problem to resolve. Accurately doing so is important, as the accuracy of the alignment is thought to play a crucial role in determining phylogenetic tree topology. Therefore it is necessary to find a way to accurately align the sequence data before communities can be accurately characterised across a hypothesised phylogenetic tree. Little guidance is available on how the users of alignment programs should go about this task. In the following chapters an understanding of how alignment parameters act on the alignment of 16S data from Coleoptera species is reported along with a method for using members of the Clustal program family. The use of two scoring systems for judging the quality of alignments is also explored. Selecting alignments based on minimising overall alignment diversity appears to minimise synapomorphy and homoplasy, while maximising taxonomic consistency. Therefore, using the Shannon- Wiener or Simpsons Index of diversity to score alignment quality may prove useful to phylogeneticists.

description: We report the first observation of a large spin lifetime anisotropy in bilayer graphene (BLG) fully encapsulated between hexagonal boron nitride. We characterize the out-of-plane ($τ_\perp$) and in-plane ($τ_\parallel$) spin lifetimes by oblique Hanle spin precession. At 75~K and the charge neutrality point (CNP) we observe a strong anisotropy of $τ_\perp/τ_\parallel$ = 8 $\pm$ 2. This value is comparable to graphene/TMD heterostructures, whereas our high quality BLG provides with $τ_\perp$ up to 9~ns, a more than two orders of magnitude larger spin lifetime. The anisotropy decreases to 3.5 $\pm$ 1 at a carrier density of n = $6\times 10^{11}~$cm$^{-2}$. Temperature dependent measurements show above 75~K a decrease of $τ_\perp/τ_\parallel$ with increasing temperature, reaching the isotropic case close to room temperature. We explain our findings with electric field induced spin-valley coupling arising from the small intrinsic spin orbit fields in BLG of 12~$μ$eV at the CNP.

description: The anomalous self-energy plays an important role in the analysis of superconducting states. Its spectral weight provides information on the pairing glue of superconductors, but it can change in sign. In many numerical approaches, for example Monte Carlo methods based on the Nambu formalism, the anomalous self-energy is obtained on the Matsubara axis, and nonpositive spectral weight cannot be directly obtained using the standard maximum entropy analytic continuation method. Here, we introduce an auxiliary self-energy corresponding to a linear combination of the normal and anomalous self-energies. We analytically and numerically prove that this auxiliary function has non-negative spectral weight independent of the pairing symmetry, which allows to compute the sign-changing spectrum of the original self-energy using the maximum entropy approach. As an application, we calculate the momentum-resolved spectral function of K$_3$C$_{60}$ in the superconducting state.

Search for supersymmetric neutral Higgs bosons decaying to τ pairs in the e + τ-jet final state with calibration using Z → ττ events at CMS

description: A search for the neutral Higgs bosons,φ , of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) decaying to τ pairs in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV is performed. The e + τ-jet final state is considered in data corresponding to 2.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid detector. The search is performed separately in the inclusive channel, sensitive to both gg → φ and gg → b [Symbol appears here. To view, please open pdf attachment]φ production, and the b-tagged channel which maximises sensitivity to gg → b [Symbol appears here. To view, please open pdf attachment]φ. No significant excess of events over the predicted Standard Model backgrounds is observed. Upper limits are set on the φ → + τ+τ- production cross section, σ(pp → φ+X) x B( φ → τ+τ- ). Cross sections greater than 18 and 1.3 pb are excluded at 95% confidence level for mA = 100 and mA = 400 GeV respectively. The limits are interpreted as constraints on tan β in the mhmax scenario of the MSSM: Values of tan β greater than 12 and 40 are excluded at 95% confidence level for mA = 100 and mA = 400 GeV respectively. The inclusive channel is found to have the greatest tan β sensitivity at large mA and the b-tagged channel to have greatest sensitivity at small mA. The τ-jet reconstruction is calibrated using Z → τ+τ- events. A measurement of the Z → τ+τ- cross section in the e + τ-jet final state using the same dataset as the Higgs search yields σ (pp → Z + X) . B(Z → τ+τ-) = 1.06+0.05 -0.04(stat.) ± 0.07(syst.) ± 0.05(lumi.) nb. The result is in good agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 0.972 ± 0.042 nb at next-to-next-to-leading order. This measurement provides a cross check of the methods used in the φ → τ+τ- search.

Hydrogenolysis of glycerol
Creators: name: Liu, Guanhua
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this research was to achieved selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-PDO (1,2-propanediol). Hydrogenolysis of glycerol was investigated in batch and trickle flow fixed bed continuous reactors. Raney catalysts and carbon supported precious catalysts were tested in the batch reactor. Ru/C and oxide-supported catalysts were tested in a continuous reactor. Parametric studies were performed and kinetics parameters were estimated with Raney copper catalyst in a batch reactor and with Cu/Al2O3 in a continuous reactor. The network of glycerol hydrogenolysis was studied on Cu/Al2O3. Cu/Al2O3 was investigated in the continuous reactor. Preparation methods, Cu loading and Cu catalyst support effects were studied. Catalyst characterization was performed to find out the factors that affected catalyst performance. Cu/Al2O3 catalyst was further modified by adding small amounts of Co and Ni to enhance the activity. The factors that affect the catalyst deactivation were also investigated. Raney Cu in the batch reactor and Cu/Al2O3 in the continuous reactor were the catalysts most selective to 1,2-PDO for glycerol hydrogenolysis. Cu catalyst on Al2O3 support of 18 wt % Cu loading prepared by co-precipitation method with ammonia is the most efficient catalyst for glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1,2-PDO. Catalyst characterization shows that the Cu/Al2O3 activity is related to the active Cu surface area on alumina support and the selectivity to 1,2-PDO is constant for the Cu/Al2O3 with different Cu surface area. Small amounts of Ni or Co improve the Cu/Al2O3 activity. The most effective deactivation factor for Cu/Al2O3 is coking or oxygenates on the spent catalyst.

The role of JAKs and STATs in chemoresistance
Creators: name: Carmo, Catarina Ramos Do
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Janus kinases (JAKs) and Signal Transducer and Activators of Transcription (STATs) are essential for signalling in response to the Interferons (IFNs) and most cytokines. Aberrant activation of JAKs and/or STATs has been observed in many human cancer cells, and several recent studies have suggested that STAT3 oncogenic pathways are also associated with intrinsic drug resistance. Chemoresistance is a major cause of failure of cancer treatment. In lung cancer cells chemoresistance can be mediated by Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF-2). In small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines FGF-2 induces the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins via a MEK-ERK-dependent mechanism, which involves the formation of a multi-protein complex constituted by B-RAF, PKCε and S6K2. We investigated the generality of this phenomenon by analysing additional types of cells. Since there have been reports suggesting that activation of JAKs and/or STATs can occur downstream of FGF-2 we hypothesised that JAKs and/or STATs may also play a role in FGF-2 mediated chemoresistance pathway(s). In U2OS osteosarcoma cells, FGF-2 offers protection against cisplatin-induced cell death. As with SCLC cells this involves B-RAF, PKCε, S6K2, MAPKs and, most notably, JAKs (JAK1, JAK2, or TYK2), but not the STATs. Whereas the non-small lung cancer cells (NSCLC) HCC95 respond to FGF-2, HCC78 do not. In neither case, however, did FGF-2 mediate chemoresistance against cisplatin. Using RNA interference (RNAi), we have observed that ERK2 knockdown caused a concomitant reduction of STAT3 levels. The data suggest that ERK2, but not ERK1, levels can regulate STAT3 expression, and that ERK1 and ERK2 have non-overlapping functions. It also indicates that ERK2 protein levels can regulate STAT3, an important signal transducer and activator of transcription. The identification of a novel inter-play between the JAKs and MAPKs in the context of chemoresistance opens new avenues for treatment, which urgently warrant additional studies.

description: We investigate the influence of the cooling epoch on the formation of galaxies in a cold dark matter dominated universe. Isolated haloes, with circular speeds typical of spiral galaxies, have been selected from a low resolution numerical simulation for re-simulation at higher resolution with dark matter and gas components. The initial conditions are evolved with two smoothed particle hydrodynamics codes, TREESPH and GRAPESPH. In previous SPH simulations, strong outward transport of angular momentum has led to the formation of disc-like systems with much smaller angular momenta than observed in real disc galaxies. Here we investigate whether this problem can be circumvented if feedback processes prevent disc formation until late epochs. The results of varying the cooling epoch for each of five different haloes are analysed. When cooling and star formation occur at early times, stellar discs are destroyed during merger events and we observe similar catastrophic transport of angular momentum as seen in previous work. With cooling suppressed until z=1, discs can form by the present day with angular momenta comparable to those of observed disc galaxies. We conclude that feedback processes, which prevent gas from collapsing until late epochs, are an essential ingredient in disc galaxy formation.

description: The interplay between the non-Hermiticity and dimensionality gives rise to exotic characteristics in higher dimensions, with one representative phenomenon known as the geometry-dependent skin effect (GDSE), which refers to that the localization of extensive eigenstates depends on the system's geometry under open boundary conditions. In this paper, we demonstrate the emergence of GDSE in a two-dimensional $sp$ optical ladder lattice with on-site atom loss, which can be manifested by anisotropic dynamics of Bloch oscillations in the bulk of the system. By applying a static force in different directions, the wave-packet dynamics retrieve the complex energy spectra with either nonzero or zero spectral winding number, indicating the presence or absence of skin accumulation in the corresponding directions, respectively. Our results reveal that the GDSE has an intrinsic anisotropic bulk dynamics independent of boundary conditions, and offer its realization and detection in quantum systems.

Interaction of Low - Energy Induced Gravity with Quantized Matter -- II. Temperature effects

Year: 1995

description: At the very early Universe the matter fields are described by the GUT models in curved space-time. At high energies these fields are asymptotically free and conformally coupled to external metric. The only possible quantum effect is the appearance of the conformal anomaly, which leads to the propagation of the new degree of freedom - conformal factor. Simultaneously with the expansion of the Universe, the scale of energies decreases and the propagating conformal factor starts to interact with the Higgs field due to the violation of conformal invariance in the matter fields sector. In a previous paper \cite{foo} we have shown that this interaction can lead to special physical effects like the renormalization group flow, which ends in some fixed point. Furthermore in the vicinity of this fixed point there occur the first order phase transitions. In the present paper we consider the same theory of conformal factor coupled to Higgs field and incorporate the temperature effects. We reduce the complicated higher-derivative operator to several ones of the standard second-derivative form and calculate an exact effective potential with temperature on the anti de Sitter (AdS) background.

description: Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is one of the most powerful technique of cardiovascular disease (CVD) early identification, and the introduction of intelligent wearable ECG devices has enabled daily monitoring. However, due to the need for professional expertise in the ECGs interpretation, general public access has once again been restricted, prompting the need for the development of advanced diagnostic algorithms. Classic rule-based algorithms are now completely outperformed by deep learning based methods. But the advancement of smart diagnostic algorithms is hampered by issues like small dataset, inconsistent data labeling, inefficient use of local and global ECG information, memory and inference time consuming deployment of multiple models, and lack of information transfer between tasks. We propose a multi-resolution model that can sustain high-resolution low-level semantic information throughout, with the help of the development of low-resolution high-level semantic information, by capitalizing on both local morphological information and global rhythm information. From the perspective of effective data leverage and inter-task knowledge transfer, we develop a parameter isolation based ECG continual learning (ECG-CL) approach. We evaluated our model's performance on four open-access datasets by designing segmentation-to-classification for cross-domain incremental learning, minority-to-majority class for category incremental learning, and small-to-large sample for task incremental learning. Our approach is shown to successfully extract informative morphological and rhythmic features from ECG segmentation, leading to higher quality classification results. From the perspective of intelligent wearable applications, the possibility of a comprehensive ECG interpretation algorithm based on single-lead ECGs is also confirmed.

The gas excitation and physical properties of the ISM are constrained by comparing our observations to photo-dissociation region (PDR) models. The ISM in our high-redshift quasars is composed of very high-density, high-temperature gas which is already highly enriched in elements like carbon.

Micro-scale modelling of granular filters
Creators: name: Shire, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Granular filters are considered to be among the most safety critical elements of embankment dams. The behaviour of such filters is poorly understood, which is reflected in the empirically derived rules used for filter design, which have been shown to be conservative and to contradict each other in some cases. In this thesis particle-scale numerical analysis is used to improve the understanding of internal stability, a requirement for granular filters, and to assess the fundamental basis for some commonly used empirical design rules. Internal stability describes the ability of the coarse fraction of a broadly or gap-graded cohesionless soil to prevent the erosion of the finer fraction under seepage. Two conditions for internal instability are that: (i) the fine particles carry relatively lower stress than the coarse particles (hydromechanical condition) and (ii) the fine particles should be small enough to pass through the void constrictions between the coarse particles (geometric condition). Each of these conditions is assessed in turn. The hydromechanical condition is assessed by using discrete element modelling (DEM) to analyse the fabric and effective stress distribution within soils of varying internal stability according to empirical criteria. In particular the hypothesis of Skempton and Brogan (1994) that a prerequisite for internal instability is a reduction of the effective stress in the finer fraction is explored. The results show that the stress transferred by the fines is related to the soil fabric, in particular the number and strength of contacts between particles. This is in turn shown to be influenced by the particle size distribution (PSD), fines content and relative density of the material. A conceptual framework to describe this behaviour is introduced. The geometric condition is intimately linked to the size of the constrictions within the void space. The constriction size distribution (CSD) within DEM samples with differing PSDs and relative densities is quantified using two approaches: the Weighted Delaunay method (Reboul et al., 2010) and the Maximal Ball method (Dong and Blunt, 2009). CSD curves are shown to have similar shapes which can be usefully normalised using characteristic filter particle diameters. The results show very good qualitative agreement with the experimental work of Kenney et al. (1985), and lend scientific support to the use of characteristic particle diameters in filter design. An analysis of constrictions within DEM samples with stress-induced anisotropy shows that larger and smaller constrictions align with the major and minor principal stresses respectively. A random walk network model describing void space is proposed to simulate the movement of a polydisperse fine material through a granular filter. This model is useful for identifying effective and ineffective base/filter combinations.

description: We study the symmetry behavior of the Gross-Neveu model in three and two dimensions with random chemical potential. This is equivalent to a four-fermion model with charge conjugation symmetry as well as Z_2 chiral symmetry. At high temperature the Z_2 chiral symmetry is always restored. In three dimensions the initially broken charge conjugation symmetry is not restored at high temperature, irrespective of the value of the disorder strength. In two dimensions and at zero temperature the charge conjugation symmetry undergoes a quantum phase transition from a symmetric state (for weak disorder) to a broken state (for strong disorder) as the disorder strength is varied. For any given value of disorder strength, the high-temperature behavior of the charge conjugation symmetry is the same as its zero-temperature behavior. Therefore, in two dimensions and for strong disorder strength the charge conjugation symmetry is not restored at high temperature.

description: Family history is considered a risk factor for many diseases because it implicitly captures shared genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Finland's nationwide electronic health record (EHR) system spanning multiple generations presents new opportunities for studying a connected network of medical histories for entire families. In this work we present a graph-based deep learning approach for learning explainable, supervised representations of how each family member's longitudinal medical history influences a patient's disease risk. We demonstrate that this approach is beneficial for predicting 10-year disease onset for 5 complex disease phenotypes, compared to clinically-inspired and deep learning baselines for Finland's nationwide EHR system comprising 7 million individuals with up to third-degree relatives. Through the use of graph explainability techniques, we illustrate that a graph-based approach enables more personalized modeling of family information and disease risk by identifying important relatives and features for prediction.

The growth and entrainment of cold gas in a hot wind

description: Both absorption and emission line studies show that cold gas around galaxies is commonly outflowing at speeds of several hundred km$\,\textrm{s}^{-1}$. This observational fact poses a severe challenge to our theoretical models of galaxy evolution since most feedback mechanisms (e.g., supernovae feedback) accelerate hot gas, and the timescale it takes to accelerate a blob of cold gas via a hot wind is much larger than the time it takes to destroy the blob. We revisit this long-standing problem using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations with radiative cooling. Our results confirm previous findings, that cooling is often not efficient enough to prevent the destruction of cold gas. However, we also identify regions of parameter space where the cooling efficiency of the mixed, `warm' gas is sufficiently large to contribute new comoving cold gas which can significantly exceed the original cold gas mass. This happens whenever, $t_{\mathrm{cool, mix}}/t_{\mathrm{cc}} < 1$, where $t_{\mathrm{cool,mix}}$ is the cooling time of the mixed warm gas and $t_{\mathrm{cc}}$ is the cloud-crushing time. This criterion is always satisfied for a large enough cloud. Cooling `focuses' stripped material onto the tail where mixing takes place and new cold gas forms. A sufficiently large simulation domain is crucial to capturing this behavior.

This comparison shows that the nonequilibrium behaviour is manifested in both fractal square grid- and regular square-mesh grid-generated turbulence for a downstream region during the turbulence decay up to the first few multiples of the wake interaction distance. For one of the regular grids it is shown that beyond this region there is a transition to the classical dissipation behaviour if the local turbulent Reynolds number is sufficiently high. A sharp conclusion can thus be drawn that this behaviour is more general than initially thought and therefore of much greater scientific and engineering significance. The nonequilibrium dissipation phenomena is further investigated by experimentally measuring the terms of an inhomogeneous von Karman-Howarth-Monin equation. This equation is essentially a scale-by-scale energy transfer budget. From the data it is shown that the inhomogeneity of the turbulent flow does not tamper with the nonequilibrium phenomena and that the scaling of the nonlinear energy transfer, i.e. the transfer of energy to the small-scales, is out of balance with the dissipation. This imbalance leads to the growth of the small-scale advection to compensate for the increasing gap between the energy transferred and the energy dissipated. For the highest Reynolds number data it is also shown that the nonequilibrium dissipation scaling appears to be consistent with the expectation that it is asymptotically independent of the viscosity (as the Reynolds number increases) and that the spectra exhibit a power-law range with the Kolmogorov-Obukhov exponent −5/3. These two observations are shown to be consistent.
The Role of Glucocorticoid Receptor Nuclear Trafficking in Oxidative Stress induced Corticosteroid Insensitivity
Creators: name: Hakim, Amir
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Corticosteroids are widely used in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. However, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis and a subset of patients with severe asthma, corticosteroids fail to improve the underlying inflammation. Recent advances in the cellular and molecular basis of the pathology in asthma and COPD have revealed several biological targets that may contribute to the relative corticosteroid insensitivity observed in these diseases. These targets include impaired glucocorticoid receptor (GR) nuclear translocation, reduced histone deactylase (HDAC)-2 activity and heightened pro-inflammatory transcription factor activity. Although in vitro and in vivo data support a role for impaired GR nuclear translocation as a potential mechanism of corticosteroid insensitivity in asthma, as of yet, no published data has confirmed this in COPD patients. Furthermore, the mechanisms that govern GR nuclear translocation are mostly unknown. There is growing evidence that excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by inflammatory and immune cells of the lung leads to oxidative stress, which plays a crucial role in the amplification of redox-sensitive pro-inflammatory transcription factors that leads to corticosteroid insensitivity. In this PhD, I investigated the role of GR nuclear trafficking in oxidative stress-induced corticosteroid insensitivity. In a monocytic cell line, U937 cells, we showed that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidant, induced intracellular and mitochondrial oxidative stress. This increase in oxidative stress was associated with enhanced IL-1β-induced NFϰB activity and IL-1β-induced CXCL8 release, pro-inflammatory markers shown to be elevated in COPD. Pre-treatment with H2O2 significantly reduced corticosteroid induced GR nuclear import for budesonide (BUD) and fluticasone propionate (FP). This reduction in GR nuclear import was associated with reduced suppression of CXCL8. In our ex vivo study in patients with severe asthma and COPD, we observed similar findings, where BUD was unable to induce GR binding to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) in patients with severe asthma and also, BUD at a low concentration was unable to suppress CXCL8 release in patients with COPD. The degree of corticosteroid insensitivity observed in our patients with severe asthma and COPD was limited to the above mentioned observations. We then investigated the nuclear transport receptors that govern nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of macromolecules in U937 cells and revealed that importin-7 is essential for corticosteroid-induced GR nuclear import. Further experiments identified that RanGTP, an essential co-factor for importin-7 mediated GR nuclear import, was reduced in our oxidative stress-induced corticosteroid insensitivity model. This novel finding suggests that the importin-7-RanGTP complex may be a potential target to overcome corticosteroid insensitivity in COPD patients.

description: We report the statistical properties of classical particles in (2+1) gravity as resulting from numerical simulations. Only particle momenta have been taken into account. In the range of total momentum where thermal equilibrium is reached, the distribution function and the corresponding Boltzmann entropy are computed. In the presence of large gravity effects, different extensions of the temperature turn out to be inequivalent, the distribution function has a power law high-energy tail and the entropy as a function of the internal energy presents a flex. When the energy approaches the open universe limit, the entropy and the mean value of the particle kinetic energy seem to diverge.

Cell shape and behaviour for accurate chemotaxis
Creators: name: Tweedy, Luke
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Eukaryotic chemotaxis involves distinct cell shapes, with movement in shallow gradients dominated by split pseudopods and a single, broad leading edge in steep gradients, but little is known about the significance of these modes. In this thesis, I demonstrate that the shape of aggregating Dictyostelium discoideum cells is important for chemotaxis at the fundamental limit of gradient sensing. Using Fourier shape descriptors, I show that Dictyostelium cells occupy a naturally low-dimensional space of shapes, and that these cell shapes depend on the external environment. I present evidence that this space is restricted by treatments with a phospholipase A2 inhibitor, which is known to inhibit chemotaxis. I show that biophysical simulations can recreate wild-type chemotaxis and shape behaviour, and that restrictions to the shape of these simulations alone, with no change made to their biochemistry, are sufficient to recreate the drop in chemotactic accuracy seen in drug-treated live cells. I then discuss further applications of physical principles to understanding cell shape and chemotaxis, and the application of shape analysis to other areas of cell biology, specifically to the formation of immune synapses in T cells.

description: In this paper, we introduce quantum Demazure--Lusztig operators acting by ring automorphisms on the equivariant quantum cohomology of the Springer resolution. Our main application is a presentation of the torus-equivariant quantum cohomology in terms of generators and relations. We provide explicit descriptions for the classical types. We also recover Kim's earlier results for the complete flag varieties by taking the Toda limit.

From Model Checking to Runtime Verification and Back

description: We describe a novel approach for adapting an existing software model checker to perform precise runtime verification. The software under test is allowed to communicate with the wider environment (including the file system and network). The modifications to the model checker are small and self-contained, making this a viable strategy for re-using existing model checking tools in a new context. Additionally, from the data that is gathered during a single execution in the runtime verification mode, we automatically re-construct a description of the execution environment which can then be used in the standard, full-blown model checker. This additional verification step can further improve coverage, especially in the case of parallel programs, without introducing substantial overhead into the process of runtime verification.

description: Interventional C-arm systems allow flexible 2-D imaging of a 3-D scene while being capable of cone beam computed tomography. Due to the flexible structure of the C-arm, the rotation speed is limited, increasing the acquisition time compared to conventional computed tomography. Therefore, patient motion frequently occurs during data acquisition inducing inconsistencies in the projection raw data. A framework using Grangeat's theorem and epipolar consistency was successfully applied for compensating rigid motion. This algorithm was efficiently parallelized, however, before each iteration, the pseudoinverse of each projection matrix must be calculated. We present a geometric modification of the presented algorithm which can be used without a pseudo-inverse. As such, the complete algorithm can be implemented for low-level hardware without the need of a linear algebra package that supports the calculation of matrix inverse. Both algorithms are applied for head motion compensation and the runtime of both is compared.

description: In recent years, it has been widely argued that the duality transformations of string and M-theory naturally imply the existence of so-called `exotic branes'---low codimension objects with highly non-perturbative tensions, scaling as $g_s^α$ for $α\leq -3$. We argue that their intimate link with these duality transformations make them an ideal object of study using the general framework of Double Field Theory (DFT) and Exceptional Field Theory (EFT)---collectively referred to as ExFT. Parallel to the theme of dualities, we also stress that these theories unify known solutions in string- and M-theory into a single solution under ExFT. We argue that not only is there a natural unifying description of the lowest codimension objects, many of these exotic states require this formalism as a consistent supergravity description does not exist.

Light-Front QCD(1+1) Coupled to Chiral Adjoint Fermions

description: We consider SU(N) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions coupled to chiral fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. With all fields in the adjoint representation the gauge group is actually SU(N)/Z_N, which possesses nontrivial topology. In particular, there are N distinct topological sectors and the physical vacuum state has a structure analogous to a θvacuum. We show how this feature is realized in light-front quantization for the case N=2, using discretization as an infrared regulator. In the discretized form of the theory the nontrivial vacuum structure is associated with the zero momentum mode of the gauge field A^+. We find exact expressions for the degenerate vacuum states and the analog of the θvacuum. The model also possess a condensate which we calculate. We discuss the difference between this chiral light-front theory and the theories that have previously been considered in the equal-time approach.
