description: [fol. 64] A Montpellier ce 27 août 1773

Monsieur,

Votre nid de guêpes est retrouvé. Il est en lieu de sûreté jusqu’à ce que je puisse trouver une occasion favorable de vous l’envoyer ou s’il s’en présente de votre côté vous pourrez m’en donner avis. Ce petit inconvénient n’aurait pas eu lieu si vous aviez voulu nous faire l’honneur d’accepter un lit chez nous. Vous auriez cru nous gêner sans doute. Nous n’entendons point assez les cérémonies pour vous l’avoir offert s’il n’avait été libre, ainsi, Monsieur, point de façon à l’avenir avec gens qui ne savent mettre du vernis [ ?] aucune part. j’imagine qu’à votre retour vous avez été assailli de visites et de lettres puisque vous êtes dans le cas d’être dérangé de vos occupations ordinaires je vous prie de vous rappeler la note que je vous remis pour en savoir les éclaircissements. L’article du calcul de cheval m’intéresse surtout, je serais bien aise [fol. 64v] d’en connaître les dimensions, la forme et tout ce qui est relatif à son histoire. J’ai plusieurs observations réunies à ce sujet que je voudrais opposer au sentiment de M. Vitet qui regarde le calcul du cheval comme un phénomène extraordinaire.
Voudriez-vous bien m’apprendre si la déesse Hippone fût imaginée par les Grecs et dans quel temps et quels sont les plus fameux hippodromes outre celui d’Athènes. J’ose vous prier de me donner ces éclaircissements, persuadé qu’ils ne vous coûtent aucune recherche en ayant le cerveau meublé. Il me reste encore à vous demander le nom français de la ville de Brencola en Italie ou peut-on la nommer ainsi.
Je suis honteux de vous importuner sans cesse, mon indiscrétion semble être sans bornes comme votre complaisance. Je vous prie de m’accorder toujours votre amitié. Ce sera l’aiguillon de mes travaux.
J’ai l’honneur d’être avec un parfait attachement et un parfait respect,
Monsieur,
 Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur
 Amoreux fils méd.

Investigating failure in composite stiffener run-outs
Creators: name: Psarras, Spyridon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of failure initiation and propagation, in stractural composites featuring geometrical discontinuities. In particular, this study focuses on stiffener run-outs as these are particularly significant in the aerospace industry. The improved understanding achieved in this project results in a direct comparison of the performance of different stiffener run-out configurations, and contributes towards validating the applicability of failure models to representative structural components. In this work, the use of a compliant web design for improved damage tolerance in stiffener run-outs is investigated. Three different configurations were compared to establish the merits of a compliant design: a baseline configuration, a configuration with optimised tapering and a compliant configuration. The performance of these configurations, in terms of strength and damage tolerance, was compared numerically using a parametric finite element analysis. The energy release rates for debonding and delamination, for different crack lengths across the specimen width, were used for this comparison. The three configurations were subsequently manufactured and tested. The manufacturing process used in this study led to sound skin-stiffener run-outs whose design was validated against a numerical study. In order to monitor the failure process, Acoustic Emission (AE) equipment and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) were used. AE data recorded during skin-stiffener run-out compression tests proved useful to analyse the failure processes which take place in these specimens. The predicted failure loads, based on the energy release rates, showed good accuracy, particularly when the distribution of energy release rate across the width of the specimen was taken into account. It was shown that the compliant configuration failed by debonding and showed improved damage tolerance compared to the baseline and tapered stiffener run-outs. It can be concluded that the variation of the energy release rates across the width should be considered when the stiffener run-outs are designed. The results further show that, in the design of skin-stiffener run-outs, it is important to consider the possibility of failure modes other than debonding, and that compliant termination schemes offer the possibility of improved damage tolerance.

description: Old neutron stars (ONSs) which have radiated away their internal and rotational energy may still shine if accreting the interstellar medium. Despite their large number, only two promising candidates have been detected so far and rather stringent limits on their observability follow from the analysis of ROSAT surveys. This contrasts with optimistic theoretical estimates that predicted a large number of sources in ROSAT fields. We have reconsidered the issue of ONSs observability, accounting for the spin and magnetic field evolution over the neutron star lifetime. In the framework of a spin-induced field decay model, we show that the total number of ONSs which are, at present, in the accretion stage is reduced by a factor ~5 over previous figures if the characteristic timescale for crustal current dissipation is ~ 10^8 - 10^9 yr. This brings theoretical predictions much closer to observational limits. Most ONSs should be at present in the propeller phase and, if subject to episodic flaring, they could be observable.

description: This paper argues that the true potential of virtual classrooms in education is not fully exploited yet. The features available in most environments that have been incorporated as virtual classrooms are classified into two groups. The first group includes common features, related only to the emulation of a traditional classroom. In this group, the practical differences between traditional and virtual classroom are discussed. In addition, best practices that could aid the professors to make students feel like participating in a typical classroom are presented. The second group comprises of advanced features and practices, which extend the traditional classroom. In this group, examples of successful practices which could not be performed in a traditional classroom are introduced. Finally, a qualitative study with interviews of 21 experts from 15 countries is presented, showing that even these experts are not fully exploiting the advanced features that contemporary virtual classroom environments are offering.

description: Tailored Pt nanoparticle catalysts are promising candidates to accelerate the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. However, the search for active nanoparticle catalysts is hindered by laborious effort of experimental synthesis and measurements. On the other hand, DFT-based approaches are still time consuming and often not efficient. In this study, we introduce a computational model which enables rapid catalytic activity calculation of unstrained pure Pt nanoparticle electrocatalysts. The generic setup of the computational model is based on DFT results and experimental data obtained worldwide over the past ca 20 years; whereas, importantly, the computational model dispenses with DFT calculations during runtime. This realizes feasible and sharply reduced computation effort in comparison to theoretical approaches where DFT calculations must be performed for each nanoparticle individually. Regarding particle size effects on Pt nanoparticles, experimental catalytic mass activities from previous studies are accurately reproduced by our computational model. Shedding light on the parameter space of particle size effects, this study enables predictions beyond available experiments: Our computational model identifies potential enhancement in mass activity up to 190% over the experimentally detected maximum. Importantly, the rapid activity calculation enabled by our computational model may pave the way for extensive nanoparticle screening to expedite the search for improved electrocatalysts.

String Tension and Chern-Simons Fluctuations in the Vortex Vacuum of d=3 Gauge Theory

description: Based on a model of the d=3 SU(2) pure gauge theory vacuum as a monopole-vortex condensate, we give a quantitative (if model-dependent) estimate of the relation between the string tension and a gauge-invariant measure of the Chern-Simons susceptibility, due to vortex linkages, in the absence of a Chern-Simons term in the action. We also give relations among these quantities and the vacuum energy and gauge-boson mass. Both the susceptibility and the string tension come from the same physics: The topology of linking, twisting, and writhing of closed vortex strings. The closed-vortex string is described via a complex scalar field theory whose action has a precisely-specified functional form, inferred from previous work giving the exact form of a gauge-theory effective potential at low momentum. Applications to high-T phenomena, including B+L anomalous violation, are mentioned.

description: Hemicelluloses (HC) are polysaccharides constituents of the cell walls of plants. They are fermented in the gut to produce volatile fatty acids (VFA). The present study investigated the effects of decreasing HC level in a sow’s lactation diet on sow performances, offspring development and milk composition. From 110 days (d) of gestation until weaning (26 ± 0.4 d post-farrowing), 40 Swiss Large White sows were assigned to one of the four dietary treatments: (1) T13 (HC: 127 g/kg), (2) T11 (HC: 114 g/kg), (3) T9 (HC: 94 g/kg) and (4) T8 (HC: 80 g/kg). Milk was collected at 3 and 17d of lactation. At birth, piglets were divided into two groups according to their birthweight (BtW): normal (N-BtW; BtW >1.20 kg) or low (L-BtW; BtW ≤1.20 kg). Decreased HC levels in the maternal diet linearly increased (p ≤ .05) the body weight of L-BtW piglets at two weeks post-weaning and linearly decreased (p ≤ .05) diarrhoea incidence and duration in this category. The concentrations of copper, threonine and VFA, as well as the proportion of butyrate, in milk linearly increased (p ≤ .05), whereas lactose content linearly decreased (p ≤ .05) with decreased HC in the maternal diet. The present study provides evidence that decreasing HC level in a sow’s lactation diet can positively affect the composition and VFA profile of milk and ultimately favour the growth and health of L-BtW piglets.HighlightsThe results of this study showed that decreasing the level of hemicelluloses in a sow’s lactation diet modified milk composition and had positive effects on the post-weaning performance of low birthweight piglets.This study highlighted the role of dietary fibres in the maternal diet to alleviate body weight variations at two weeks post-weaning.Nevertheless, before advising pig producers, further research should elucidate the optimal level of hemicelluloses for lactating sows.

One-loop Correction and the Dilaton Runaway Problem

description: We examine the one-loop vacuum structure of an effective theory of gaugino condensation coupled to the dilaton for string models in which the gauge coupling constant does not receive string threshold corrections. The new ingredients in our treatment are that we take into account the one-loop correction to the dilaton Kähler potential and we use a formulation which includes a chiral field $H$ corresponding to the gaugino bilinear. We find through explicit calculation that supersymmetry in the Yang-Mills sector is broken by gaugino condensation. The dilaton and $H$ field have masses on the order of the gaugino condensation scale independently of the dilaton VEV. Although the calculation performed here is at best a model of the full gaugino condensation dynamics, the result shows that the one-loop correction to the dilaton Kähler potential as well as the detailed dynamics at the gaugino condensation scale may play an important role in solving the dilaton runaway problem.

description: We study field theories on spaces with additional compact noncommutative dimensions. As an example, we study ϕ^3 on R^{1,3}\times T^{2}_θusing perturbation theory. The infrared divergences in the noncompact theory give rise to unusual dynamics for the mode of ϕwhich is constant along the torus. Correlation functions involving this mode vanish. Moreover, we show that the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein excitations can be very different from the analogous commuting theory. There is an additional contribution to the Kaluza-Klein mass formula that resembles the contribution of winding states in string theory. We also consider the effect of noncommutativity on the four dimensional Kaluza-Klein excitations of a six dimensional gauge field.

Investigation and development of transient thermography for detection of disbonds in thermal barrier coating systems
Creators: name: Ptaszek, Grzegorz Stanislaw
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This thesis has explored the use of transient thermography for the detection of disbonds of minimum diameter 2mm located in a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system whose surface may be unpainted. The technique, the type/size of the defect and also the condition of the TBC system for the inspection has been specified by Alstom Power Switzerland, the sponsor of the EngD project. As for other Non Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques, reference test specimens are required for calibration, but unfortunately, real disbonds are very difficult to use because it is difficult to control their size, and larger ones tend to spall. Flat bottomed holes are commonly used, but these over-estimate the thermal contrast obtained for a defect of a given diameter. The thesis quantifies the differences in thermal response using finite element analysis validated by experiments, and proposes a form of artificial disbond that gives a better representation of the thermal responses seen with real defects. Real disbonds tend to have a non-uniform gap between the disbonded surfaces across the defect, and the effect of this on the thermal response is evaluated using finite element simulations. It is shown that the effect can be compensated for by adjusting the diameter of the calibration defect compared to the real defect. Surfaces of inspected specimens are usually covered by a black, energy absorbing paint before the transient thermography test is carried out. Unfortunately, this practice is not acceptable to some turbine blade manufacturers (including the project sponsor) since thermal barrier coatings are porous so the paint is difficult to remove. Unpainted TBC surfaces have very low emissivity, and after period of service their colour changes unevenly and with which also absorptivity and emissivity changes. The low emissivity gives low signal levels and also problems with reflections of the incident heat pulse, while the variation in emissivity over the surface gives strong variation in the contrast obtained even in the absence of defects. The thesis has investigated the effects of uneven discolouration of the surface and of Infra Red (IR) translucency on the thermal responses observed by using mid and long wavelength IR cameras. It has been shown that unpainted blades can be tested satisfactorily by using a more powerful flash heating system assembled with an IR glass filter and a long wavelength IR camera. The problem of uneven surface emissivity can be overcome by applying of the 2nd time derivative processing of the log-log surface cooling curves.
Controlling Dopant Distributions and Structures in Advanced Semiconductors
Creators: name: Tahini, Hassan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The suitability of silicon for micro and sub-micro electronic devices is being challenged by the aggressive and continuous downscaling of device feature size. New materials with superior qualities are continually sought-after. In this thesis, defects are examined in two sets of silicon alternate materials; germanium (Ge) and III-V semiconductors. Point defects are of crucial importance in understanding and controlling the properties of these electronic materials. Point defects usually introduce energy levels into the band gap, which influence the electronic performance of the material. They are also key in assisting mass transport. Here, atomistic scale computational methods are employed to investigate the formation and migration of defects in Ge and III-V semiconductors. The behaviour of n-type dopants coupled to a vacancy in Ge (known as E-centres) is reported from thermodynamic and kinetic points of view, revealing that these species are highly mobile, consequently, a strategy is proposed to retard one of the n-dopants. Further, the electronic structure of Ge is examined and the changes induced in it due to the application of different types of strain along different planes and directions. The results obtained agree with established experimental values regarding the bands transition from indirect to direct under biaxial strain. This is used to support further predictions, which indicate that a moderate strain parallel to the [111] direction can efficiently transform Ge into a direct band gap material, with a band gap energy useful for technological applications. Vacancies and antisites in III-V semiconductors have been studied under various growth and doping conditions. Results presented in this thesis help predict and explain the stability of some defects over a range of growth conditions. This, together with knowledge of the kinetics of migration of Ga and As/Sb vacancies is used to explain the disparities in self-diffusion between GaAs and GaSb.
Investigating Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus 3C Protease Using Ensemble and Single-Molecule Fluorescence Techniques
Creators: name: Maskuniitty, Aino-Maija
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The main objective of this work was to gain novel information on the catalytic mechanism of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus 3C protease (FMDV 3Cpro) using ensemble and single-molecule fluorescence techniques. This was done to aid FMDV 3Cpro inhibitor development. FMDV is the causative agent of foot-and-mouth disease which affects cloven-hoofed animals, such as cattle and sheep, and can cause substantial losses to farmers as well as whole economies. Fluorescence anisotropy (FA) on ensemble level and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) on single-molecule level were used to probe the interactions of FMDV 3Cpro with its peptide substrates. The main focus of previous work has been on the substrate cleavage specificity of the 3Cpro. Therefore, the FA assays done here – using fluorescein-labelled and unlabelled peptide substrates – gave new insights into the substrate binding specificity of the enzyme. Single-molecule fluorescence experiments, in solution and with surface-immobilised enzyme, were done to probe the interaction of FMDV 3Cpro with FRET-labelled peptide substrates. It was demonstrated that single-molecule sensitivity could be reached, and that the peptide HiLyte488-APAKQLLC(HiLyte647)FDLLKK is a suitable FMDV 3Cpro substrate for single-molecule fluorescence experiments. Single-molecule TIRF (smTIRF) was used to look at the interaction of this FRET peptide with surface-immobilised FMDV 3Cpro, and it was shown that the enzyme retains its biological function after surface attachment. Furthermore, the smTIRF experiments yielded novel and detailed information on the catalytic mechanism of the protease, and the single-molecule data was shown to be consistent with existing ensemble results as well as ensemble fluorescence data obtained here. This work is the first demonstration of single-molecule level experiments on FMDV 3Cpro. A quick and convenient smTIRF protocol was developed, and the experiments done using this protocol yielded novel information on the mechanism of the enzyme. This information will undoubtedly be a step towards more rational FMDV 3Cpro inhibitor design.

description: Homemade diets integrated with functional ingredients may help to ensure that companion animals have a good life quality given the rise in their average lifespan. This study investigates the effects of a complete and well-balanced homemade diet supplemented with hulled hemp seeds. Twelve adult dogs divided into two groups: CTRL, fed the basal diet and HEMP, fed the diet integrated hulled Cannabis sativa L. seeds (4 g/100g of ration) were enrolled in the trial. The following samples were collected: (a) individual faecal samples to assess the diet digestibility through an indirect method of acid-insoluble ash; b) blood samples to evaluate the oxidative state through an OXI adsorbent test; and c) rectal swabs for intestinal microbiota analysis (alpha- and beta-diversity and taxonomy). The results reveal that with respect to the commercial diet used in this study, our homemade diet increased the total and protein digestibility (total: 53.97 ± 2.54% and 58.20 ± 2.58%; p < .030; protein: 70.54 ± 2.01% and 82.78 ± 5.35%; p < .001). The change in diet positively altered the microbiota structure and increased beta-diversity index significantly (p < .010). The hemp seeds significantly (p < .001) reduced the oxidative stress in the serum. This study highlights how hemp increases the body’s defences and that a homemade diet promotes diversity in the gut microbial population. The homemade diet increased digestibility and microbiota diversity.Hulled hemp seeds in dog diets increase the body’s defences The homemade diet increased digestibility and microbiota diversity.

Refining the Oort and Galactic constants

description: The local stellar kinematics of the Milky Way offer a useful tool for studying the rotation curve of the Galaxy. These kinematics -- usually parameterized by the Oort constants A and B -- depend on the local gradient of the rotation curve as well as its absolute value (Theta_0), and the Sun's distance to the Galactic center (R_0). The density of interstellar gas in the Milky Way is shown to vary non-monotonically with radius, and so contributes significantly to the local gradient of the rotation curve. We have therefore calculated mass models for the Milky Way that include this component, and have derived the corresponding radial variation in the Oort constants. Between 0.9R_0 and 1.2R_0, the Oort functions, A(R) and B(R), differ significantly from the general Theta/R dependence. Various previously-inexplicable observations are shown to be consistent with these predictions. These models can explain the 40% difference between the values for 2 A R_0 derived from radial velocity data originating in the inner and outer Galaxy. They also go some way toward explaining the different shapes of the velocity ellipsoids of giant and dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood. However, a consistent picture only emerges if one adopts small values of R_0 = 7.1 +/- 0.4 kpc and Theta_0 = 184 +/- 8 km/s. With these Galactic constants, the Milky Way's rotation curve declines slowly in the outer Galaxy; V_rot(20 kpc) = 166 kms. Our low value for R_0 agrees well with the only direct determination (7.2 +/- 0.7 kpc, Reid 1993). Using these Galactic constants, we find that the proper motion of Sgr A^* is consistent with the observational constraints. The radial velocities and proper motions of our best fit model are entirely consistent with the radial velocities of Cepheids and the Hipparcos measurements of their proper motions.

description: In this work we characterize certain immersed closed hypersurfaces of some ambient manifolds via the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator. First, we characterize the Clifford torus as the surface which maximizes the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator among all closed immersed orientable surfaces of $\mathbb S^3$ with genus bigger than zero. After, we characterize the slices of the warped product $I\times_h\mathbb S^n$, under a suitable hypothesis on the warping function $h:I\subset\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$, as the only hypersurfaces which saturate a certain integral inequality involving the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator. As a consequence, we obtain that if $Σ$ is a closed immersed hypersurface of $\mathbb R\times\mathbb S^n$, then the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator of $Σ$ satisfies $λ_2\le n$ and the slices are the only hypersurfaces which satisfy $λ_2=n$.

description: We present very-high-resolution 1D MHD simulations of the late-stage supernova remnants (SNR). In the post-adiabatic stage the magnetic field has an important and significant dynamical effect on the shock dynamics, the flow structure, and hence the acceleration and emission of cosmic rays. We find that the tangential component of the magnetic field provides pressure support that to a fair degree prevents the collapse of the radiative shell and thus limits the total compression ratio of the partially or fully radiative forward shock. A consequence is that the spectra of cosmic rays would not be as hard as in hydrodynamic simulations. We also investigated the effect on the flow profiles of the magnetic-field inclination and a large-scale gradient in the gas density and/or the magnetic field. A positive density gradient shortens the evolutionary stages whereas a shock obliquity lowers the shock compression. The compression of the tangential component of the magnetic field leads to its dominance in the downstream region of post-adiabatic shocks for a wide range of orientation of the upstream field, which may explain why one preferentially observes tangential radio polarization in old SNRs. As most cosmic rays are produced at late stages of SNR evolution, the post-adiabatic phase and the influence of the magnetic field during it are most important for modeling the cosmic-ray acceleration at old SNRs and the gamma-ray emission from late-stage SNRs interacting with clouds.

Linear and Nonlinear Distributed Economic Model Predictive Control
Creators: name: Lee, Jaehwa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Model predictive control (MPC), also called receding horizon control, is a control technique to determine control actions for systems by using mathematical optimization theory such as linear or nonlinear programming. It is widely adopted for industrial applications because of its capability of dealing with constraints. For implementation of MPC we solve an on-line optimization problem which minimizes the object function with respect to the given constraints. We commonly adopt convex cost function, which is minimum at the set-point, since by minimizing this cost over horizons we can obtain the convergence of states to the desired set-point. This thesis, however, considers MPC with economically defined objective functions, and implements it in decentralized manner. The key difference of the economic objectives, acquired from the actual value of plants to operate, is that they are not necessarily minimum at the best steady-state, which we decide as the set-point for the state for the operations. Distributed system usually refers to a large-scale system which consists of multiple subsystems interacting with each other. In cooperative MPC which we deal with throughout this thesis, all the subsystems share and optimize the common cost. The main difficulty of this control arises from the coupled inputs and states between subsystems, and the effect between them. While computing consideration on state estimation of other subsystems should be taken into account for the controller design, so large computational burden is unavoidable. We divide the computation into several small problems, and suggest the iterations between the subsystems for the improvement of performance. For linear systems the convex sum of the computation, or estimation, of each subsystem generates the feasible input sequence at any number of iteration. Furthermore, we define and investigate individual feasibility for nonlinear systems. For both cases we prove the iterates converge to the Nash equilibria under some assumptions including asymptotic average constraints. For application example, we investigate the consecutive-competitive reactions, whose resultant substance and byproduct compete to be produced more through the reactions, with numerical simulations.
Exciton-polariton soliton wavetrains in molecular crystals with dispersive long-range intermolecular interactions

description: The peculiar crystal structure of one-dimensional molecular solids originates from packing of an array of molecules in which intermolecular interactions are dominantly dispersive, including hydrogen-bond, van der Waals and London-type forces. These forces are usually relatively weaker than covalent and ionic bondings such that long-range intermolecular interactions should play important role in dispersion properties of molecular crystals such as polymers and biomolecular chain structures. In this work the effects of long but finite-range intermolecular interactions on single-exciton dispersion energy, and hence on characteristic parameters of periodic soliton trains associated with bound exciton-polariton states in one-dimensional molecular crystals interacting with an electromagnetic field, are investigated. Long-range interactions are shown to quantitatively modify the exciton-polariton soliton amplitudes, width and velocity as a result of shrinkage of the single-exciton energy spectrum. The soliton structures of interest are nonlinear wavetrains, consisting of periodically ordered single-pulse (i.e. bright) or single-kink (i.e. dark) solitons with equal separation between the constituent single-soliton modes. Periodic soliton structures are relevant and best suited for finite-size chain systems, where periodic boundary conditions rule the generation of nonlinear wave profiles. Generally they are of weaker nonlinearity compared to their single-soliton constituents as well established within the framework of their generation via the process of modulational instability
