description: We analytically establish an anomalous transverse flow of heat in 8-\textit{Pmmn} borophene, one of the several two-dimensional (2D) allotropes of Boron (B). The dispersion of this allotrope contains a pair of anisotropic and tilted Dirac cones which are gapped by placing the 2D \textit{B} sheet under an intense circularly-polarized illumination. A gap in the Dirac dispersion leads to a finite Berry curvature and connected anomalous Hall effects. In the case of thermoelectrics, this manifests as a heat current perpendicular to the temperature gradient - the thermal Hall effect. A quantitative calculation of the attendant thermal Hall conductivity reveals dependence on the intrinsic anisotropy and tilt of the Dirac cone. Further, by estimating the longitudinal thermal conductivity using the Weidemann-Franz law, we also outline steps to compute the thermal Hall angle that gauges the generation efficiency of such transverse heat processes. Finally, we touch upon the idea of thermal rectification wherein the direction of flow of the anomalous heat reverses through a simple switch of the polarization of incident light and is of interest in thermal logic circuits.

description: In this work, we find novel static and spherically symmetric wormhole geometries using a three-form field. By solving the gravitational field equations, we find a variety of analytical and numerical solutions and show that it is possible for the matter fields threading the wormhole to satisfy the null and weak energy conditions throughout the spacetime, when the three-form field is present. In these cases, the form field is responsible for supporting the wormhole and all the exoticity is confined to it. Thus, the three-form curvature terms, which may be interpreted as a gravitational fluid, sustain these non-standard wormhole geometries, fundamentally different from their counterparts in General Relativity. We also show that in the case of a vanishing redshift function the field can display a cosmological constant behavior.

description: We report the discovery of a 2.1hr optical modulation in the transient source GS1826-24, based on two independent high time-resolution photometric observing runs. There is additional irregular variability on shorter timescales. The source also exhibited an optical burst during each observation, with peak fluxes consistent with those of the three X-ray bursts so far detected by BeppoSAX. We compare the low-amplitude variation (0.06 mag) to that seen on the orbital periods of the short period X-ray bursters, X1636-536 and X1735-444, as well as the similarity in their non-periodic fluctuations. Other transient neutron star LMXBs possess short periods in the range 3.8-7.1 hrs. However, if confirmed as the orbital, a 2.1 hr modulation would make GS1826-24 unique and therefore of great interest within the context of their formation and evolution.

Natural killer cells and acute myeloid leukaemia
Creators: name: Stringaris, Katherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Despite successful induction chemotherapy, most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will relapse. Immune surveillance by T cells or natural killer (NK) cells may play a role in preventing relapse. This thesis examines the potential of NK cells to control AML. Study 1 explored in 248 patients with haematological malignancies from the US National Institutes of Health, the genetic diversity of NK killer immunoglobulin receptor (KIR) genes in patients and their stem cell donors and their impact on outcome after stem cell transplantation (SCT) for haematological malignancy. Individuals with AML receiving SCT from donors inheriting 3 particular B-haplotype KIRs were 4 times less likely to relapse than those with donors without these favourable KIRs. Study 2 explored in samples obtained from 499 patients enrolled on UK MRC/NCRI AML trials, whether KIR genotype affects the risk of developing AML or the outcome of remission induction chemotherapy. While KIRs had no effect on the development or outcome of de novo AML, individuals with more activatory KIRs, in particular 2DS2, developed significantly less secondary AML, suggesting that activatory KIRs can protect against secondary AML. These studies support a role for NK-mediated immune surveillance in AML. Study 3 investigated the phenotype and function of AML NK cells. In 32 prospectively collected samples from AML patients undergoing remission induction chemotherapy at the Hammersmith Hospital, AML patients were found to have reduced NK activatory receptors, increased NK inhibitory receptors, and reduced cytotoxic function towards leukaemia, compared to healthy donors. These abnormalities corresponded with failure to achieve remission and can be induced in normal NK incubated with AML blasts. I conclude that KIR genetics have a limited influence on AML development and outcome but that AML itself can impair NK function, reducing the chance of achieving remission. These findings have implications for NK based immunotherapy for AML.

Waste tyre pyrolysis : sustainable recovery and reuse of a valuable resource
Creators: name: Athanassiades, Eliana
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: End-of-life car passenger tyres represent a major waste management problem, with more than 450,000 tonnes of used tyres being generated each year in the UK alone (approximately 55,000,000 tyres). Recent legislation has made 100% material or value recovery from waste tyres an imperative. There are many different waste tyre management options available. The most commonly used processes include: retreading, use as fuel in incinerators and cement kilns and reprocessing to produce rubber crumb which has further applications in asphalt mixtures, carpet underlay and playgrounds. The theme of the research presented is a fundamental study and development of tyre pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is an attractive method to sustainably recover valuable components of the tyre rubber through the generated carbonaceous solid, oil and gas. Both conventional and microwave-induced pyrolysis have been investigated. Microwave pyrolysis offers an exciting alternative to traditional pyrolysis because of the potentially significant energy efficiency advantage offered. In the first instance an investigation of the optimisation of the pyrolysis conditions by statistical design using conventional means to produce a carbonaceous solid char has been undertaken. This was followed by the investigation of microwave-induced pyrolysis using modified commercially available microwave equipment as well as a bespoke and novel 2450 MHz, 2 kW rotary microwave furnace developed for the purposes of this project by Cobham Microwave Ltd. Carbonaceous solids produced by varying different experimental parameters, such as power levels and pyrolysis duration are reported and analysed. In addition, the main constituents of the oils generated have been identified and comparisons made with traditional thermal pyrolysis oil. Reuse of the solid residue is an important activity which has been researched. This char is often described as carbon black, but given that it contains all the solid, inorganic components present in the tyre, as well as carbon black, it is better described as “char filler”. The suitability of this waste tyre-derived char for reuse in the rubber industry as a filler substitute has been evaluated and is presented. The results show that the char has similar properties to a semi-reinforcing filler with potential for improvement.

description: We present the results of a numerical calculation of the $B\to K^* γ$ form factors. The results have been obtained by studying the relevant correlation functions at $β=6.0$, on an $18^3 \times 64$ lattice, using the ${\rm O(a)}$-improved fermion action, in the quenched approximation. From the study of the matrix element $$ we have obtained the form factor $T_1(0)$ which controls the exclusive decay rate. The results are compared with the recent results from CLEO. We also discuss the compatibility between the scaling laws predicted by the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) and pole dominance, by studying the mass- and $q^2$-dependence of the form factors. From our analysis, it appears that the form factors follow a mass behaviour compatible with the predictions of the HQET and that the $q^2$-dependence of $T_2$ is weaker than would be predicted by pole dominance.

description: Sustained timber supply relies upon balanced forest age distribution, where the level of harvesting and mortality is compensated by regeneration and growth among younger age classes. However, current forest inventory trends from the white oak growing region reveal sustainability threat from declining white oak regeneration and recruitment leading to disproportionate inventory structure. Consequently, there exists growing concern among stakeholders on long-term sustainability of white oak timber and its economic implications, particularly in Kentucky, because of the significance of the species to the state’s economy. This research aims to examine past and current inventory levels of white oak in Kentucky using Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data; project inventory levels of white oak sawlogs in Kentucky, based on timber quality, by employing Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) together with FIA data; and assess potential economy-wide impacts of projected white oak timber supply to dependent industries in Kentucky using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Results indicate that white oak dominated forest structure is rapidly transforming to forest largely dominated by large-diameter trees with remarkable decline in small-diameter trees. While the overall projected inventory levels of white oak sawlogs remain adequate to support current harvest levels until 2058, inventory levels of high-quality white oak sawlogs would be continuously declining throughout the projection period (2018 to 2068). Economically, the overall potential impact of projected white oak timber supply during the 40-year planning horizon (2018 to 2058) would be negative as reflected by reductions in GDP and welfare, which is driven mostly by the reduced supply of high-quality white oak sawlogs to distilleries sector. These results can be used to advocate for more proactive forest management practices to stabilize a sustainable supply of high-quality white oak timber in Kentucky against the economic consequences of the status quo under business as usual scenario.

description: We study $(1+1)$-dimensional $SU(N)$ spin systems in the presence of the global $SU(N)$ rotation and lattice translation symmetries. By matching the mixed anomaly of the $PSU(N)\times\mathbb{Z}$ symmetry in the continuum limit, we identify a topological index for spin model evaluated as the total number of Young-tableaux boxes of spins per unit cell modulo $N$, which characterizes the "ingappability" of the system. A nontrivial index implies either a ground-state degeneracy in a gapped phase, which can be regarded as a field-theory version of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, or a restriction of the possible universality classes in a critical phase -- the symmetry-protected critical phase, e.g. only a class of $SU(N)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten theories can be realized in the low-energy limit of the given lattice model in the presence of the symmetries. Similar constraints also apply when a higher global symmetry emerges in the model with a lower symmetry. Our prediction agrees with several examples known in previous studies of $SU(N)$ models.

Functionalised macroporous films via emulsion templating : preparation, processing and applications
Creators: name: Jiang, Qixiang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Polymerised high internal phase emulsions, or polyHIPEs, refer to the macroporous polymers prepared via emulsion templating. PolyHIPEs are usually characterised by high porosity and interconnectivity and low density, which make them applicable in tissue engineering, construction materials and catalyst supports. However, the exploration of polyHIPE films is very limited so far. Thus this thesis will describe the works on designing flexible and tough functionalised macroporous films that are for a variety of applications. Poly(methacrylic acid) (poly(MAA)) and poly(dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate) filled polyHIPEs were firstly prepared and characterised. The hydrogels were grafted on the surface of the pore walls in the polyHIPE scaffolds. Subsequently, poly(MAA) filled polyHIPEs were sliced into membranes and their performances were tested. The permeability and selectivity of the membranes are highly affected by the pH value of the feed solution due to the pH-sensitivity of poly(MAA). The membranes with 2% crosslinking degrees in poly(MAA) had a cut-off of 50K polyethylene glycol, suggesting applications for ultrafiltration. In the following work, mechanical properties of macroporous monoliths and films were tailored. Polyurethane diacrylate (PUDA), which is a long chain crosslinker, was copolymerised within emulsion templates to modify the mechanical properties of polyHIPEs. These macroporous polymers based on PUDA and styrene were less brittle than the conventional poly(styrene-divinylbenzene)HIPEs and possessed enhanced elastic moduli and crush strengths compared to poly(styrene-polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate)HIPEs. The tough polyHIPEs are expected to be used as scaffolds for membranes or catalysts. Subsequently, very flexible macroporous films were prepared by casting and UV polymerising emulsion templates based on PUDA and ethylhexyl acrylate. The films possessed breaking strains up to 30%. Moreover, the films showed constant mechanical behaviour under relaxation tests and cyclic tests, suggesting the capability for long term use. The films will be further designed for pressure sensor applications. A novel method to prepare macroporous films was developed in this project. Emulsion templates were printed either by rolling-pin or screen and UV polymerised subsequently, resulting in patterned macroporous films. The experiment showed that the printing process did not damage the porous structure of the films. Additionally, it is feasible to multilayer print the emulsion templates to create 3D or complex structure.

Considerando información del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes que acceden a INACAP entre los  años 2020 y 2023, a través de un diseño  cuasi experimental con el método de matching o emparejamiento, se estimó si los estudiantes que convalidaron al menos tres asignaturas al momento de acceder a la institución tienen mejores resultados académicos que aquellos estudiantes que, si bien cumplían con los requisitos para articular, decidieron cursar todas las asignaturas de sus programas de estudio. Los resultados muestran resultados positivos para el programa, donde se estima que sus beneficiarios tienen probabilidades significativamente mayores de egresar y titularse. Asimismo, se observa que no existen diferencias significativas en las notas de segundo año entre quienes articulan y no articulan, lo cual evidencia que la convalidación de asignaturas no afecta el rendimiento en las asignaturas posteriores. Considerando estos resultados, se discute sobre la importancia de continuar avanzando en políticas de articulación.

description: We discuss the twist-three, unpolarized, chiral-odd, transverse momentum dependent parton distribution (TMD) $e^q(x,k_\perp)$ within a light-front model. We review a model-independent decomposition of this TMD, which follows from the QCD equations of motion and is given in terms of a leading-twist mass term, a pure interaction-dependent contribution, and singular terms. The leading-twist and pure twist-three terms are represented in terms of overlap of light-front wave functions (LFWFs), taking into account the Fock states with three valence quark ($3q$) and three-quark plus one gluon ($3q+g$). The $3q$ and $3q+g$ LFWFs with total orbital angular momentum zero are modeled using a parametrization derived from the conformal expansion of the proton distribution amplitudes, with parameters fitted to reproduce available phenomenological information on the unpolarized leading-twist quark and gluon collinear parton distributions. Numerical predictions for both the quark TMD $e^q(x,k_\perp)$ and the collinear parton distribution $e^q(x)$ are presented, discussing the role of the quark-gluon correlations in the proton.

Possible Production of High-Energy Gamma Rays from Proton Acceleration in the Extragalactic Radio Source Markarian 501
Creators: name: Mannheim, Karl
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The active galaxy Markarian 501 was discovered with air-Cerenkov telescopes at photon energies of 10 tera-electron volts. Such high energies may indicate that the gamma rays from Markarian 501 are due to the acceleration of protons rather than electrons. Furthermore, the observed absence of gamma ray attenuation due to electron-positron pair production in collisions with cosmic infrared photons implies a limit of 2 to 4 nanowatt per squaremeter per steradian for the energy flux of an extragalactic infrared radiation background at a wavelength of 25 micrometers. This limit provides important clues on the epoch of galaxy formation.

Dynamics of large mammal range shifts and extinction : evidence from the Holocene record of Europe
Creators: name: Crees, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The global extent of past and present biodiversity loss is increasingly well documented, but a focus on investigating timings and correlates of final species extinctions often means that patterns and processes associated with earlier population declines are poorly understood. I used a comprehensive database of zooarchaeological records and regional last occurrence data in order to investigate dynamics of range shift, contraction, expansion and fragmentation of Europe’s large mammals over the past 11,500 years, the Holocene Epoch. As a relatively climatically stable period that also witnessed the rapid growth of human populations, it was an ideal model system for studying human impacts on biodiversity over time. Whilst there were inherent biases associated with zooarchaeological data, I was nonetheless able to identify diverse mechanisms of large mammal decline across different species. Despite low numbers of faunal records I was able to attribute the Late Holocene extinction of the European wild ass (Equus hydruntinus) to habitat fragmentation associated with postglacial climate-driven vegetation change. Using bootstrapping to control for sampling bias, I then reconstructed temporal and spatial patterns of range contraction across Europe’s temperate large mammal fauna from the Mesolithic to the Late Medieval and found that overall, large herbivores experienced significant declines prior to large carnivores. Finally, by combining data from the zooarchaeological, historical and ecological record, I was able to reconstruct through-time patterns of regional extirpation to identify major correlates of species declines as well as calculate species-specific tolerances to human population density. Overall results demonstrate an extinction filter that removed large-bodied species with low tolerance to human impacts from the European landscape from at least the Mid-Holocene onwards. The results from the thesis have relevance across a range of disciplines from palaeontology and zooarchaeology, to ecology and the current day conservation management of large mammals.

Phase transition and dynamical-parameter method in U(1) gauge theory

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

description: Monte Carlo simulations of the 4-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in the neighborhood of the transition point are made difficult by the suppression of tunneling between the phases, which becomes very strong as soon as the volume of the lattice grows to any appreciable size. This problem can be avoided by making the monopole coupling a dynamical variable. In this manner one can circumvent the tunneling barrier by effectively riding on top of the peaks in the energy distribution which meet for sufficiently large monopole coupling. Here we present an efficient method for determining the parameters needed for this procedure, which can thus be implemented at low computational cost also on large lattices. This is particularly important for a reliable determination of the transition point. We demonstrate the working of our method on a 16^4 lattice. We obtain an equidistribution of configurations across the phase transition even for such a relatively large lattice size.

Accretion disc outbursts: a new version of an old model

description: We have developed 1D time-dependent numerical models of accretion discs, using an adaptive grid technique and an implicit numerical scheme, in which the disc size is allowed to vary with time. The code fully resolves the cooling and heating fronts propagating in the disc. We show that models in which the radius of the outer edge of the disc is fixed produce incorrect results, from which probably incorrect conclusions about the viscosity law have been inferred. In particular we show that outside-in outbursts are possible when a standard bimodal behaviour of the Shakura-Sunyaev viscosity parameter alpha is used. We also discuss to what extent insufficient grid resolutions have limited the predictive power of previous models. We find that the global properties (magnitudes, etc. ...) of transient discs can be addressed by codes using a high, but reasonable, number of fixed grid points. However, the study of the detailed physical properties of the transition fronts generally requires resolutions which are out of reach of fixed grid codes. It appears that most time-dependent models of accretion discs published in the literature have been limited by resolution effects, improper outer boundary conditions, or both.

Development of chemical receptors and arrays for the identification of phosphatidylinositol phosphates and other phosphate related anions
Creators: name: Behjat, Emma
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis concerns the synthesis and study of a series of metallo-receptors for the identification of phosphorylated species in an aqueous environment. Although the sensitive and selective detection of anions (such as phosphorylated species) has been extensively researched, it is still a challenging area within supramolecular chemistry. This is due to the anions’ low charge-to-radius ratio, pH sensitivity and high hydrophilicity, which makes differentiation between anionic species problematic. The research presented in this thesis focuses on the development of a series of metal-based receptors for the use in Indicator Displacement Assays (IDAs), to effectively differentiate between phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) and other related anionic species. In the IDA, the receptors were bound to a range of colourimetric indicators and the addition of an anion induced a specific response that was recorded by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The UV-Vis response was used as a digital representation of the anion and was analysed with standard statistical methods, including principle component analysis and artificial neural networks. This analysis enabled the identification of various anions in both pure and complex solutions. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) was also performed on the data, which allowed for an appreciation of the relationships present between the different anions. The binding affinities of the developed receptors were also investigated using the traditional dilution titrations and good affinities towards the phosphorylated species were obtained ranging from x103 – x109 Mol-1. In addition, the preferential binding of the receptors to different anions was evident, which justifies the success of the IDA. The interaction of the receptors with specific phosphatidylinositol phosphates was further investigated using phosphatase assays, the results from which demonstrates the ability of these receptors to interact with the different PIPs in vitro.
