description: The inclusive $K^+$ mesons production in $π^+$--nucleus reactions in the subthreshold energy regime is analyzed with respect to the one--step ($π^+n\to K^+Λ$) and the two--step ($π^+n\to ηp_1,~ ηp_2\to K^+Λ$) incoherent production processes on the basis of an appropriate folding model, which allows one to take into account the various forms of an internal nucleon momentum distribution as well as on-- and off--shell propagation of the struck target nucleon. Contrary to proton--nucleus reactions primary reaction channel is found to be significant practically at all considered energies. Detailed predictions for the $K^+$ total and invariant differential cross sections from \piC-- and \piPb--collisions at subthreshold energies are provided.

Progress towards a more sensitive measurement of the electron electric dipole moment with YbF
Creators: name: Devlin, Jack Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The electron is predicted to have a small electric dipole moment (eEDM), although so far no one has been able to measure this experimentally. The size of the eEDM is strongly connected to how badly time-reversal (T) symmetry is broken by nature. The Standard Model of particle physics, which has a small amount of T violation, predicts an unmeasurably tiny eEDM: de < 10^(-38) e cm. However, it is suggested that there should be additional T-violating processes to account for the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. These could lead to a detectable eEDM near to the current limit |de|< 8.7*10^(-29) e cm (90\% confidence). Ramsey spectroscopy on paramagnetic, polar molecules has proved a very effective method for measuring eEDMs. In this thesis I explain the progress that has been made towards using ytterbium fluoride (YbF) for a new, improved measurement of the eEDM. I discuss the current operation of the experiment, and the systematic effects connected with the experiment. The statistical uncertainty of the experiment in analysed, and shown to be dominated by photon counting statistics. Then, a list of improvements to the machine are described, and simulated using rate equations and the optical Bloch equations. Taken together, these improvements enhance the sensitivity of the experiment by a factor of eleven, thus, it can be used in the near future to make a world-leading measurement of the electron EDM.

description: MoTe2 is a Weyl semimetal, which exhibits unique non-saturating magnetoresistance and strongly reinforced superconductivity under pressure. Here, we demonstrate that a novel mesoscopic superconductivity at ambient pressure arises on the surface of MoTe2 with a critical temperature up to 5 K significantly exceeding the bulk Tc=0.1K. We measured the derivatives of I-V curves for metallic hetero-contacts of MoTe2 with Ag or Cu, homo-contacts of MoTe2 as well as "soft" point contacts (PCs). Large number of these hetero-contacts exhibit a dV/dI dependence, which is characteristic for Andreev reflection. It allows to determine the superconducting gap Δ. The average gap values are 2Δ=1.30+/-0.15 meV with a 2Δ/kBTc ratio of 3.7+/-0.4, which slightly exceeds the standard BCS value of 3.52. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the gap follows a BCS-like behavior, which points to a nodeless superconducting order parameter with some strong-coupling renormalization. Remarkably, the observation of a "gapless-like" single minimum in the dV/dI of "soft" PCs may indicate a topological superconducting state of the MoTe2 surface as these contacts probe mainly the interface and avoid additional pressure effect. Therefore, MoTe2 might be a suitable material to study new forms of topological superconductivity.

How the therapeutic cancer drug lenalidomide impacts Natural Killer cell immune responses
Creators: name: Lagrue, Kathryn
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: As multiple myeloma (MM) progresses, Natural Killer (NK) cell responses decline against malignant plasma cells. The immunomodulatory drug lenalidomide is widely used for the treatment of MM but its influence on NK cell biology is unclear. Here, a combination of functional assays and microscopy techniques were used to investigate how lenalidomide affects NK cell activation and effector function. First, lenalidomide lowered the threshold for NK cell activation, causing a 66% decrease in the EC50 for activation through CD16, and a 38% decrease in the EC50 for NKG2D-mediated activation, allowing NK cells to respond to lower doses of ligand. In addition, lenalidomide augmented NK cell responses, causing a 2-fold increase in the proportion of primary NK cells producing IFN-γ, and a 20-fold increase in the amount of IFN-γ produced per cell. Importantly, lenalidomide did not trigger IFN-γ production in unstimulated NK cells. Thus, lenalidomide enhances the NK cell arm of the immune response, without activating NK cells inappropriately. Of particular clinical importance, lenalidomide also allowed NK cells to be activated by lower doses of rituximab, an anti-CD20 mAb widely used to treat B cell malignancies. This supports the combined use of lenalidomide and rituximab in a clinical setting. Second, super resolution STED microscopy revealed that lenalidomide increased the periodicity of cortical actin at immune synapses, resulting in an increase in the area of the actin mesh predicted to be penetrable to vesicles containing IFN-γ. Finally, lenalidomide augmented IFN-γ production and enhanced cortical actin rearrangements in NK cells from MM patients. Interestingly, NK cells from relapsing MM patients showed defective F-actin remodelling compared to NK cells from MM patients in remission. This could be rescued with lenalidomide treatment. This establishes that nanometre-scale rearrangements in cortical actin, a recently discovered step in immune synapse assembly, are a potential new target for therapeutic compounds.

Critical assessment of structure and parameterization of JULES land surface model at different spatial scales in a UK Chalk catchment
Creators: name: Bakopoulou, Christina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The assessment of water resources and the prediction of future changes in water management are necessary due to global climate changes. The land surface model 'Joint UK Land Environment Simulator' (JULES), which lies in the borderline between hydrological and atmospheric modelling, was implemented in this study. The study focused on the Kennet catchment in the UK; a Chalk dominated catchment that includes a variety of different geological formations. The first spatial scale, where JULES was assessed, was the point scale; the scale at which equations central to JULES are regarded as applicable. The data used originated from the Warren Farm recharge site, located in the Lambourn catchment, a tributary of the Kennet. Due to the large number of model parameters that JULES includes, a Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis was implemented on a variety of different parameters at the point scale illustrating that that some soil parameters exhibit a bigger effect on the examined hydrological fluxes than others. For larger scale modelling, i.e. scales larger than 1 km2, soil data from the National Soil Resources Institute (NSRI) were used to parameterise JULES. NSRI database has a spatial resolution of 1 km x 1 km grid squares, where each square is attributed with the percentage of the various soil series included in it. Due to the lack of chalk soil hydraulic parameters in the NSRI dataset, Warren Farm observations were used to parameterise the Chalk sites. Moving to the Kennet catchment modelling, it was shown that a weather generator, which was representing the diurnal patterns of the climatic forcing data, led to more realistic hydrological outputs compared to the one available in the standard version of JULES (2.2). The issue of whether the effect of spatial variation in surface properties could be adequately represented in JULES was explored at 1 km and catchment scales. Thus, the extent of the heterogeneity present in the Kennet catchment was investigated, with and without a surface runoff production mechanism component, with the focus being on the various soil types included in the Kennet. The amount of heterogeneity in each of the 1 km grid cells of the NSRI database was also studied, showing that the dominant soil type in the majority of the grid squares of the catchment could sufficiently represent the annual average hydrological behaviour. Lastly, it was exhibited that the inclusion of the surface runoff component allowed the model to overcome the limitation of the unrealistic surface runoff values that were produced without the implementation of that component.

Delays Associated with Elementary Processes in Nuclear Reaction Simulations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Scatterings, particularly those involving resonances, and other elementary processes do not happen instantaneously. In the context of semiclassical nuclear reaction simulations, we consider delays associated with an interaction for incident quantum wave-packets. As a consequence, we express delays associated with elementary processes in terms of elements of the scattering matrix and phase shifts for elastic scattering. We show that, to within the second order in density, the simulation must account for delays in scattering consistently with the mean field in order to properly model thermodynamic properties such as pressure and free-energy density. The delays associated with nucleon-nucleon and pion-nucleon scattering in free space are analysed with their nontrivial energy dependence. Finally, an example of s-channel scattering of massless partons is studied, and scattering schemes in nuclear reaction simulations are investigated in the context of scattering delays.

description: The vast available spectrum in the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands offers the possibility of multi-Gbps data rates for fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. However, mmWave capacity can be highly intermittent due to the vulnerability of mmWave signals to blockages and delays in directional searching. Such highly variable links present unique challenges for adaptive control mechanisms in transport layer protocols and end-to-end applications. This paper considers the fundamental question of whether TCP - the most widely used transport protocol - will work in mmWave cellular systems. The paper provides a comprehensive simulation study of TCP considering various factors such as the congestion control algorithm, including the recently proposed TCP BBR, edge vs. remote servers, handover and multi- connectivity, TCP packet size and 3GPP-stack parameters. We show that the performance of TCP on mmWave links is highly dependent on different combinations of these parameters, and identify the open challenges in this area.

description: Baryonic states are sufficiently complex to reveal physics that is hidden in the mesonic bound states. Using gauge/gravity correspondence we study analytically and numerically baryons in theories with space-dependent $θ$-term, or theories under strong magnetic fields. Such holographic studies on baryons are accommodated in a generic analytic framework we develop for anisotropic theories, where their qualitative features are common irrespective of the source that triggers the anisotropy. We find that the distribution of the quarks forming the state, depends on the angle between the baryon and the anisotropic direction. Its shape is increasingly elliptic with respect to the strength of the field sourcing the anisotropy, counterbalancing the broken rotational invariance on the gluonic degrees of freedom. Strikingly, the baryons dissociate in stages with a process that depends on the proximity of the quarks to the anisotropic direction, where certain quark pairs abandon the bound state first, followed by the closest pairs to them as the temperature increases. This observation may also serve as a way to identify the nature of certain exotic states. Finally, we investigate holographic baryons with decreased number of quarks and explain why in theories under consideration the presence of anisotropy does not modify the universal stability condition in contrast to the usual trend.

Caspase-activation complex ARCosome – its regulation and signalling for cell death
Creators: name: Chaisaklert, Wanwisa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cooperatively orchestrate signalling pathways for cell death (apoptosis). My research focused on the ARCosome, a novel protein complex that spans the interface between the mitochondria and the ER. This complex was discovered in our laboratory and was shown to play a role in cell-death regulation. It is composed of Fission1 homologue (Fis1), a fission protein, and Bap31, an integral ER membrane protein. Caspase-8 was shown to be recruited to the complex under cell death conditions and to cleave Bap31 into the pro-apoptotic p20Bap31. However, the question of how this complex is controlled in healthy and dying cells was unknown. In my study, I show that Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 dissociate from the complex upon etoposide-induced cell death. I discovered that Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL block the recruitment of caspase-8 to the complex and inhibit apoptotic signals activated by Fis1 and Bap31. Their rescue effect was demonstrated by inhibiting Bap31 cleavage into the pro-apoptotic p20Bap31. Hence, our work reveals the changes that take place at the ARCosome for apoptosis induction and highlight in particular the release of Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 as pivotal factors to control apoptosis in this pathway. I also investigated the downstream signalling of p20Bap31-inducedcell death for which I studied complex II activation and ROS generation. Prohibitin, an assembly factor for complex II, and cyclophylin D, an inhibitor of the PT pore, were found to inhibit p20Bap31-induced cell death as well as ROS generation. Ectopic p20Bap31 expression resulted in the dissociation of respiratory chain complex II components SDHB and SDHD, as shown by the decrease of FRET efficiency when their GFP-variant fusion proteins were transfected into cells. Moreover, I showed that ARCosome activation is not only involved in apoptosis pathways, but also in IFNgamma-induced necroptosis and amyloid-β-mediated cell death in neuronal cells.
A game theoretic modeling framework for decentralised transmission planning
Creators: name: Fan, Ying
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: During the last two decades, significant efforts towards the deregulation of the electricity industry have been observed worldwide, involving the unbundling of vertically integrated monopoly utilities, the introduction of competition in the generation and supply sectors, and the open access to the electricity network. In contrast with traditionally regulated paradigm, deregulation calls for more involving participants for bringing more competition. In order to facilitate the participation of large number of players, a novel market structure, where individual player seeking for its own interest, is proposed by a project called 'Autonomic Power System'; according to which, the new structure will accommodate both the operation(short-term) and investment(long-term) need for the future complex electricity market in decentralised pattern. Specifically, players are encouraged to enter the market and participate in the sectors they are interested in. Players can be existing and new generating units, demand suppliers that represent aggregated customers and even merchant companies who are neither generating units nor demand suppliers. The sectors they could participate include power scheduling, generation investment and transmission network investment etc.. Game theory and Agent-based modelling are both good tools to model the behaviours of numerous players and their mutual effect with each other. A central entity will be present for reconciling conflicting objectives if necessary. In this thesis, due to the incompetence in allocating investment cost among system users given traditional centralised planning paradigm, we mainly focus on proposing methods for decentralised investing in the network; under which circumstance, transmission planning will rely on market forces and profit-driven decisions of self-interested players. This paradigm will gain continuous grounds as it accounts for the interests of the different market agents and is deemed as a further step towards the liberalisation and efficient operation of the electricity industry. An iterative method is employed to search for Nash equilibrium of the game and a heuristic approach is adopted for deriving a coordinated solution when no or multiple NE are reached. Case studies will demonstrate the individual investment intentions for different situations and the physical/economic significance of the obtained solutions.
The Luminosity Function of Galaxies in Compact Groups

description: From R-band images of 39 Hickson compact groups (HCGs), we use galaxy counts to determine a luminosity function extending to M_R=-14.0, approximately two magnitudes deeper than previous compact group luminosity functions. We find that a single Schechter function is a poor fit to the data, so we fit a composite function consisting of separate Schechter functions for the bright and faint galaxies. The bright end is best fit with M^*=-21.6 and alpha=-0.52 and the faint end with M^*=-16.1 and alpha=-1.17. The decreasing bright end slope implies a deficit of intermediate luminosity galaxies in our sample of HCGs and the faint end slope is slightly steeper than that reported for earlier HCG luminosity functions. Furthermore, luminosity functions of subsets of our sample reveal more substantial dwarf populations for groups with x-ray halos, groups with tidal dwarf candidates, and groups with a dominant elliptical or lenticular galaxy. Collectively, these results support the hypothesis that within compact groups, the initial dwarf galaxy population is replenished by "subsequent generations" formed in the tidal debris of giant galaxy interactions.

Modelling, optimisation and model predictive control of insulin delivery systems in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Creators: name: Zavitsanou, Stamatina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease requiring lifelong treatment with exogenous insulin which significantly affects patient’s lifestyle. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop novel drug delivery techniques that achieve therapeutic efficacy and ensure patient safety with a minimum impact on their quality of life. Motivated by the challenge to improve the living standard of a diabetic patient, the idea of an artificial pancreas that mimics the endocrine function of a healthy pancreas has been developed in the scientific society. Towards this direction, model predictive control has been established as a very promising control strategy for blood glucose regulation in a system that is dominated by high intra- and inter-patient variability, long time delays, and presence of unknown disturbances such as diet, physical activity and stress levels. This thesis presents a framework for blood glucose regulation with optimal insulin infusion which consists of the following steps: 1. Development of a novel physiologically based compartmental model analysed up to organ level that describes glucose-insulin interactions in type 1 diabetes, 2. Derivation of an approximate model suitable for control applications, 3. Design of an appropriate control strategy and 4. In-silico validation of the closed loop control performance. The developed model’s accuracy and prediction ability is evaluated with data obtained from the literature and the UVa/Padova Simulator model, the model parameters are individually estimated and their effect on the model’s measured output, the blood glucose concentration, is identified. The model is then linearised and reduced to derive low-order linear approximations of the underlying system suitable for control applications. The proposed control design aims towards an individualised optimal insulin delivery that consists of a patient-specific model predictive controller, a state estimator, a personalised scheduling level and an open loop optimisation problem subjected to patient specific process model and constraints. This control design is modifiable to address the case of limited patient data availability resulting in an “approximation” control strategy. Both designs are validated in-silico in the presence of predefined, measured and unknown meal disturbances using both the proposed model and the UVa/Padova Simulator model as a virtual patient. The robustness of the control performance is evaluated in several conditions such as skipped meals, variability in the meal content, time and metabolic uncertainty. The simulation results of the closed loop validation studies indicate that the proposed control strategies can achieve promising glycaemic control as demonstrated by the study data. However, further prospective validation of the closed loop control strategy with real patient data is required.

description: Extraction of missing attribute values is to find values describing an attribute of interest from a free text input. Most past related work on extraction of missing attribute values work with a closed world assumption with the possible set of values known beforehand, or use dictionaries of values and hand-crafted features. How can we discover new attribute values that we have never seen before? Can we do this with limited human annotation or supervision? We study this problem in the context of product catalogs that often have missing values for many attributes of interest. In this work, we leverage product profile information such as titles and descriptions to discover missing values of product attributes. We develop a novel deep tagging model OpenTag for this extraction problem with the following contributions: (1) we formalize the problem as a sequence tagging task, and propose a joint model exploiting recurrent neural networks (specifically, bidirectional LSTM) to capture context and semantics, and Conditional Random Fields (CRF) to enforce tagging consistency, (2) we develop a novel attention mechanism to provide interpretable explanation for our model's decisions, (3) we propose a novel sampling strategy exploring active learning to reduce the burden of human annotation. OpenTag does not use any dictionary or hand-crafted features as in prior works. Extensive experiments in real-life datasets in different domains show that OpenTag with our active learning strategy discovers new attribute values from as few as 150 annotated samples (reduction in 3.3x amount of annotation effort) with a high F-score of 83%, outperforming state-of-the-art models.

Cyanogenesis in the cystic fibrosis pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Creators: name: Nair, Chandrika Goh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Lung disease is the most lethal manifestation of Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major pathogen of the CF lung, where it is able to persist for decades. P. aeruginosa is also one of only a few bacterial species capable of producing hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Since cyanide is detectable in the sputum of CF patients, and its presence is negatively correlated with lung function, it has been hypothesised that cyanogenesis in P. aeruginosa may increase virulence in humans. Here, the overall aims have been to explore the clinical relevance of cyanide production in the CF airway and to improve current understanding of the molecular microbiology of cyanogenesis. Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) measurements were performed on nasal brushings and sino-nasal airliquid interface (ALI) cultures obtained from healthy volunteers and CF patients. KCN decreased CBF in healthy nasal brushings (n=6) after 60 min (150µM: 47% fall, p<0.0002; 75µM: 32% fall, P<0.0001). Samples from CF patients (n=3) showed similar results (150µM: 55% fall, P=0.0003). CBF inhibition was not due to loss of cell viability and was reversible. The inhibitory mechanism was independent of ATP levels. KCN also significantly inhibited CBF in ALI cultures, albeit to a lesser extent. Additionally, CBF measurements on ALI cultures treated with culture supernatants from P. aeruginosa mutants implicated cyanide as a key cilio-inhibitory component. In order to uncover novel determinants of cyanogenesis, a high throughput colourimetric cyanide screen was developed. Cyanogenesis values were obtained for 93% of mutants from a comprehensive nonredundant P. aeruginosa transposon library. Additionally, the validity of two severely impaired mutants, PA2196 and PA5339, was confirmed by complementation. Mapping the most severe cyanogenesis outliers onto the P.aeruginosa genome revealed previously unrelated regions of interest. In particular, overrepresentation of genes related to the motile-sessile switch and to the RoxRS system implicated a strong role for these in the regulation of cyanogenesis.

Almost Analytic Models of Ultramagnetized Neutron Star Envelopes

description: Recent ROSAT measurements show that the x-ray emission from isolated neutron stars is modulated at the stellar rotation period. To interpret these measurements, one needs precise calculations of the heat transfer through the thin insulating envelopes of neutron stars. We present nearly analytic models of the thermal structure of the envelopes of ultramagnetized neutron stars. Specifically, we examine the limit in which only the ground Landau level is filled. We use the models to estimate the amplitude of modulation expected from non-uniformities in the surface temperatures of strongly magnetized neutron stars. In addition, we estimate cooling rates for stars with fields $B \sim 10^{15}-10^{16}$ G which are relevant to models that invoke ``magnetars'' to account for soft $γ$-ray emission from some repeating sources.

Fast catheter segmentation and tracking based on x-ray fluoroscopic and echocardiographic modalities for catheter-based cardiac minimally invasive interventions
Creators: name: Wu, Xianliang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: X-ray fluoroscopy and echocardiography imaging (ultrasound, US) are two imaging modalities that are widely used in cardiac catheterization. For these modalities, a fast, accurate and stable algorithm for the detection and tracking of catheters is required to allow clinicians to observe the catheter location in real-time. Currently X-ray fluoroscopy is routinely used as the standard modality in catheter ablation interventions. However, it lacks the ability to visualize soft tissue and uses harmful radiation. US does not have these limitations but often contains acoustic artifacts and has a small field of view. These make the detection and tracking of the catheter in US very challenging. The first contribution in this thesis is a framework which combines Kalman filter and discrete optimization for multiple catheter segmentation and tracking in X-ray images. Kalman filter is used to identify the whole catheter from a single point detected on the catheter in the first frame of a sequence of x-ray images. An energy-based formulation is developed that can be used to track the catheters in the following frames. We also propose a discrete optimization for minimizing the energy function in each frame of the X-ray image sequence. Our approach is robust to tangential motion of the catheter and combines the tubular and salient feature measurements into a single robust and efficient framework. The second contribution is an algorithm for catheter extraction in 3D ultrasound images based on (a) the registration between the X-ray and ultrasound images and (b) the segmentation of the catheter in X-ray images. The search space for the catheter extraction in the ultrasound images is constrained to lie on or close to a curved surface in the ultrasound volume. The curved surface corresponds to the back-projection of the extracted catheter from the X-ray image to the ultrasound volume. Blob-like features are detected in the US images and organized in a graphical model. The extracted catheter is modelled as the optimal path in this graphical model. Both contributions allow the use of ultrasound imaging for the improved visualization of soft tissue. However, X-ray imaging is still required for each ultrasound frame and the amount of X-ray exposure has not been reduced. The final contribution in this thesis is a system that can track the catheter in ultrasound volumes automatically without the need for X-ray imaging during the tracking. Instead X-ray imaging is only required for the system initialization and for recovery from tracking failures. This allows a significant reduction in the amount of X-ray exposure for patient and clinicians.

Robotic assistant for MRI-guided ablation of the liver
Creators: name: Franco, Enrico
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Robotic devices represent a promising solution to the space limitations of cylindrical MRI scanners, potentially allowing more accurate and faster intervention for the benefit of patients and clinicians. This thesis presents the design, control, and experimental evaluation of a robotic assistant for MRI-guided percutaneous intervention of the liver. The robot provides remotely controlled alignment of a needle guide inside the MRI scanner bore and employs manual needle insertion outside the bore. A graphical user interface allows planning the procedure based on the MR images. A systems engineering process for requirements analysis and concept generation for medical devices is employed in order to provide a solid basis for the design. This approach involves multiple methods and defines a specific workflow with the aim of generating a comprehensive set of requirements and corresponding solutions in order to address the clinical needs. The main features and functionalities of the robot are analysed and verified with a first prototype. Particular attention is paid to the design of a suitable pneumatic actuation and to the position control of the robot. In this respect, different control algorithms are designed and compared with simulations and experiments, achieving a higher positioning accuracy than previously reported for similar systems. A fully functional prototype is then presented and evaluated with extensive experiments. The effects of the system on the quality of the MR images and the robot targeting accuracy are assessed in high-field closed-bore MRI scanners. The advantages of robot-assisted needle insertion over the conventional manual procedure in terms of accuracy and time saving are highlighted with a comparative phantom study. The functionality of the system is verified with an exploratory clinical trial on one patient. Finally, the use of pneumatic actuation for teleoperated needle insertion is investigated and suitable control strategies are presented, in view of a further enhancement of the robot functionalities in following design iterations.

description: We consider self-pulsing regimes in chains of Kerr nonlinear optical microresonators. By means of a supermodal diagonalization procedure of the conventional coupled-mode theory in time, we theoretically and numerically study the bifurcation diagrams of a singly pumped three-cavity and a doubly pumped four-cavity system: the latter allows us to predict thresholdless frequency tripling of a GHz modulation. These self-pulsing regimes are proven robust and will find applications in the generation and conversion of microwaves on an optical carrier.

description: The classification method of the free fermionic heterotic string vacua is extended to models where the $SO(10)$ GUT symmetry is broken directly at the string scale to the Left-Right Symmetric subgroup. Our method involves using a fixed set of basis vectors which are defined by the boundary conditions assigned to the free fermions before enumerating the string vacua by varying the Generalised GSO (GGSO) projection coefficients. It allows the derivation of algebraic expressions for the GGSO projections for each sector that generates massless states in the models. This enables a computerised analysis of the entire massless spectrum of a given choice of GGSO projection coefficients. The total number of vacua in the class of models chosen is $2^{66}\approx 7.38 \times 10^{19}$. A statistical sampling is performed and a sample size of $10^{11}$ vacua with the Left-Right Symmetric gauge group is extracted. We present the results of the classification, noting that contrary to the previous classification of Pati-Salam models, no three generation exophobic models were found. The results obtained demonstrate the existence of three generation models with the necessary Higgs representations needed for viable spontaneous symmetry breaking, and with a leading top quark Yukawa coupling.
