description: Based on an extended Skyrme interaction that includes the terms in relative momenta up to sixth order, corresponding to the so-called Skyrme pseudopotential up to next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N3LO), we derive the expressions of Hamiltonian density and single nucleon potential under general non-equilibrium conditions which can be applied in transport model simulations of heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei. While the conventional Skyrme interactions, which include the terms in relative momenta up to second order, predict an incorrect behavior as a function of energy for nucleon optical potential in nuclear matter, the present extended N3LO Skyrme interaction can give a nice description for the empirical nucleon optical potential. We also construct three interaction sets with different high-density behaviors of the symmetry energy, by fitting both the empirical nucleon optical potential up to energy of $1$ GeV and the empirical properties of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. These extended N3LO Skyrme interactions will be useful in transport model simulations of heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei at intermediate and high energies, and they can also be useful in nuclear structure studies within the mean-field model.

Protostellar Jets: The Best Laboratories for Investigating Astrophysical Jets
Creators: name: Pino, Elisabete M. de Gouveia Dal
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Highly collimated supersonic jets are observed to emerge from a wide variety of astrophysical objects, ranging from Active Nuclei of Galaxies (AGN's) to Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) within our own Galaxy. Despite their different physical scales (in size, velocity, and amount of energy transported), they have strong morphological similarities. Thanks to the proximity and relatively small timescales, which permit direct observations of evolutionary changes, YSO jets are, perhaps, the best laboratories for cosmic jet investigation. In this lecture, the formation, structure, and evolution of the YSO jets are reviewed with the help of observational information, MHD and purely hydrodynamical modeling, and numerical simulations. Possible applications of the models to AGN jets are also addressed.

description: Imaging at 1.25 and 2.20 microns has been obtained of the field containing the galaxy (RD1) found at redshift 5.34 by Dey et al.(1998). This galaxy has been detected at 1.25 microns, while the lower redshift (z=4.02) galaxy also found in the same field by Dey et al. was detected at both 1.25 and 2.20 microns. Comparison to stellar population synthesis models indicates that if RD1 is a young (< 100 Myr old) galaxy, significant reddening (A(V) > 0.5 mag) is indicated. Combined with observations of other high redshift systems, these data show that dust is likely to be an important component of young galaxies even at redshifts of z > 5. The extinction-corrected monochromatic luminosity of RD1 at 1500 angstroms is then a factor of about three larger than L(1500)* as determined by Dickinson (1998) for z ~ 3 starburst galaxies. The implied star formation rate in RD1, corrected for extinction, is ~ 50-100 solar masses per year.

description: A series of new cobalt(II) complexes of Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and different cycloalkylamines (cycloalkyl = cyclopentyl-1a, cyclohexyl-1b, and cycloheptyl-1c) was synthesized: [Co(CyPen-Salicyl)2] (2a), [Co(CyHex-Salicyl)2] (2b), and [Co(CyHep-Salicyl)2] (2c). The bis(phenoxyiminato)Co(II) complexes (2a-2c) have been fully characterized by FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, cyclic voltammetry, computational methods, and two of the complexes were further studied by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The X-ray structure analysis of 2a-b shows that the geometry around the metal atom is a distorted tetrahedron, confirming the spectroscopic data. Electrochemical studies suggest that the redox potential of 2a-2c are sensitive to the substituent group, decreasing in order cyclopentyl > cyclohexyl > cycloheptyl. Complexes 2a-2c were used as controlling agents for the polymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) initiated by AIBN, according to a cobalt-mediated radical polymerization (CMRP) mechanism. The VAc polymerization mediated by 2a-2c suggests that the level of control can be slightly tuned by the substitution of the cycloalkyl group on the Schiff base ligand. Complex 2b showed the smaller discrepancy between observed and calculated molecular weight, and narrower molecular weight distribution.

Development of cobalt bioactive glasses for wound healing applications
Creators: name: Solanki, Anu Kishor
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Bioactive glasses are of interest in regenerative medicine as they can incorporate ions beneficial for tissue repair and release these into aqueous environments as the glass degrades. To date, bioactive glasses have been primarily used for bone regeneration, however they have also shown promise in soft tissue applications, such as wound healing. When a wound forms, a cascade of events occur to repair the damaged skin. If healing is impaired, for example in diabetic patients, a chronic wound can form, which does not heal in a predictable manner. The Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) pathway regulates the expression of genes involved in adaption to hypoxia, such as those involved in angiogenesis, and local activation of this pathway can promote the healing of diabetic wounds. Cobalt is known to activate the HIF pathway, and in this thesis, cobalt bioactive glasses were investigated for the first time in wound healing applications. New melt-derived glass compositions were designed, which could degrade and release cobalt ions in aqueous environments, without the formation of crystalline hydroxycarbonate apatite. Glass particles are not suitable for direct application to a wound bed, and therefore the designed glasses were developed into composites by electrospinning, and into fibres by laser spinning. These formats were able to release cobalt ions and activate the HIF pathway in vitro, causing a functional response measured by an increased expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). By comparing a single composition with and without cobalt, it was shown that the cobalt bioactive glass fibres caused a synergistic effect on HIF-1α stabilisation and VEGF expression, which could not be replicated by supplementing cell culture media with cobalt. Overall the work presented in this thesis shows the potential for the designed cobalt bioactive glass compositions and formats to be used to promote the healing of chronic wounds.

Rainfall estimates for urban drainage modelling: an investigation into resolution requirements and radar-rain gauge data merging at the required resolutions
Creators: name: Ochoa Rodriguez, Susana
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Rainfall estimates of high accuracy and resolution are required for urban drainage modelling, given the high imperviousness, small size and fast response of urban catchments. Despite significant progress in rainfall measurement in recent decades, the resolution and accuracy of the rainfall estimates typically available from national meteorological services are still insufficient for urban drainage modelling. Moreover, the actual rainfall resolution requirements for these applications are not sufficiently understood. The first aim of this thesis is to identify critical rainfall input resolution requirements for urban drainage modelling. To this end, a multi-storm, multi-catchment analysis is conducted on the impact of rainfall input resolution on urban stormwater modelling results. Minimum temporal resolutions of 5 min and of cumulative nature, and spatial resolutions of 1 km are found to be required for urban drainage modelling applications. The second aim of this thesis is to provide guidance on the application of radar rain gauge merging techniques at urban scales, so that merged rainfall products which meet urban drainage modelling accuracy and resolution requirements can be obtained. Three merging techniques, namely Mean Field Bias (MFB) adjustment, kriging with external (KED) and Bayesian (BAY) combination, are selected for testing on grounds of performance and common use. They are tested as they were originally formulated and in combination with two novel treatments identified as having the potential to improve merging applicability for urban hydrology. These are reduction of temporal sampling errors in radar estimates through temporal interpolation, and singularity decomposition of radar estimates prior to merging. All merging methods improve the applicability of radar estimates to urban drainage modelling. Overall, KED displays the best performance, with BAY a close second and MFB providing the smallest benefits. The two special treatments under consideration further improve the overall merging performance at the spatial-temporal resolutions required for urban drainage modelling.
Resource management in dynamic IoT environments

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Internet of Things (IoT) recently becomes a hot topic in both research communities and the public. It has already opened a level of connectivity above and beyond what we expected from computer networks. However, the technology is not matured yet, and there is a clear ongoing trend in the market. Customers start having more sophisticated requirements from the offered services. Return on investment and business profitability dominate the growth of IoT’s market share. Computing power becomes more capable in embedded systems. Serving multiple concurrent users in an IoT system is expected to be a common theme in the near future. As a result, managing network resources effectively and efficiently is a vital key to the success for this technology. Applying solutions found in the current literature can suffer from serious issues and challenges. Some solutions have rigid assumptions that are hard to meet in dynamic IoT environments, while others are powerful but impossible to implement in systems with limited resources. To overcome these problems, this work develops a set of distributed algorithms to optimize resources effectively in IoT, and prepare the technology for upcoming advances and future directions, rather than being damaged by them. In this work, we optimize resources in four different network layers: application, transport, routing and link layers. We consider various types of jobs and operations, including data routing and forwarding, link scheduling, sensing, data processing, energy budgeting, and other complex user-defined jobs. Our proposed solutions have been evaluated using testbed experiments and extensive network simulations. Theoretical analysis and guarantees are also provided wherever applicable. This work is useful to researchers in the area of IoT, wireless sensor networks, embedded networked systems and general wireless networking.

description: Pharmaceutical analysis is a branch of practical chemistry that involves a series of process for identification, determination, quantification and purification of a substance, separation of the components of a solution or mixture, or determination of structure of chemical compounds. Method validation is therefore an essential component of the measures that a laboratory should implement to allow it to produce reliable analytical data.
Plasmonic breathing modes in $\rm C_{60}$ molecules -- A quantum hydrodynamic approach

description: We propose and illustrate a quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model for the description of plasmonic oscillations in the $\rm C_{60}$ molecule. Although simpler than competing approaches such as time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the model contains the key ingredients to characterize plasmonic modes, namely the Hartree, exchange and correlation potentials, as well as nonlocal, nonlinear and quantum effects to the lowest order. A variational technique is used to solve analytically the QHD model for the case of breathing (monopolar) plasmonic oscillations, revealing a bulk mode near the plasmon frequency. Numerical simulations of both the QHD equations and a TDDFT model confirm the existence of this mode and highlight a second collective mode at lower energy. Such monopolar modes may be measured experimentally using electron energy loss spectroscopy.

description: We investigate the observational consequences of a novel class of stable interacting dark energy (IDE) models, featuring interactions between dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE). In the first part of our work, we start by considering two IDE models which are known to present early-time linear perturbation instabilities. Applying a transformation depending on the dark energy equation of state (EoS) to the DM-DE coupling, we then obtain two novel stable IDE models. Subsequently, we derive robust and accurate constraints on the parameters of these models, assuming a constant EoS $w_x$ for the DE fluid, in light of some of the most recent publicly available cosmological data. These include Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropy measurements from the \textit{Planck} satellite, a selection of Baryon Acoustic Oscillation measurements, Supernovae Type-Ia luminosity distance measurements from the JLA sample, and measurements of the Hubble parameter up to redshift $2$ from cosmic chronometers. Our analysis displays a mild preference for the DE fluid residing in the phantom region ($w_x

Empirical Constraints on Source Properties and Host Galaxies of Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss several constraints on the properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRB) at cosmological distances. First we use the requirement that burst sources must be optically thin to pair production by photon-photon collisions in order to produce the observed nonthermal spectra. We derive probability distributions for the minimum Lorentz expansion factor, the radiation energy, the maximum baryonic mass, and the maximum surrounding gas density in the events, based on 254 events from the second BATSE catalog. Secondly, the time variabilities of the bursts in the BATSE catalog are used to place an upper bound on the curvature radius of the emitting surface in the events. This is based on the requirement that the emitting region seen by the observer must be sufficiently small to produce the observed variability without violating causality. Finally, we discuss the association of cosmological GRB with galaxies. We consider eight bright and well-localized bursts detected by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter, whose positional error boxes contain no bright galaxies. Using the local luminosity function of galaxies, we calculate the probability for not seeing the GRB host galaxy. This probability tends to increase as the width of the GRB luminosity function increases. However, the allowed width of the GRB luminosity function is restricted by the number-count statistics of the bursts.

description: We apply a new non-parametric technique to reconstruct, with uncertainties, the projected mass distribution of the inner region of Abell 2218, using combined strong and weak lensing constraints from multiple-image systems and arclets with known redshifts. The reconstructed mass map broadly resembles previous, less detailed, parametric models, but when examined in detail shows several sub-structures, not necessarily associated with light but strongly required by the lensing data. In particular, the highest mass peak is offset by about 30 kpc/h50 from the main light peak, and projected mass-to-light in the directions of different cluster galaxies varies by at least a factor of 10. On comparing with mass estimates from models of the X-ray emitting gas, we find that the X-ray models under-predict the enclosed mass profile by, at least a factor of 2.5; the discrepancy gets worse if we assume that mass traces light to the extent allowed by the lensing constraints.

description: Different liquid crystalline phases with long-range orientational but not positional order, so-called nematic phases, are scarce. It rarely occurs that a new nematic phase is discovered and such event is inevitably accompanied by a great interest. Here, we describe a transition from uniaxial to novel nematic phase characterized by a periodic splay modulation of the director. In this new nematic phase, defect structures not present in the uniaxial nematic are observed, which indicates that the new phase has lower symmetry than the ordinary nematic phase. The phase transition is weakly first order with a significant pretransitional behavior, which manifests as strong splay fluctuations. When approaching the phase transition, the splay nematic constant is unusually low and goes towards zero. Analogously to the transition from the uniaxial nematic to the twist-bend nematic phase, this transition is driven by instability towards splay orientational deformation, resulting in a periodically splayed structure. And, similarly, a Landau-de Gennes type of phenomenological theory can be used to describe the phase transition. The modulated splay phase is biaxial and antiferroelectric.

Assessing links between vegetation and dust emission using Earth observation data
Creators: name: Williams, Sian Rhiannon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Mineral dust aerosol is a key component of the Earth system, affecting the planet's radiative balance, weather and biogeochemistry as well as having a significant impact on human health and economic well-being. Despite its importance, it is currently poorly represented in global climate models. As a consequence, predicting future dust loading and any associated physical processes is hampered by a high level of uncertainty. A significant factor underpinning the poor representation of dust in models arises from a lack of understanding of the processes that govern its emission at the resolution of these models. In this thesis, a new global dataset of dust emission is derived using data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue Collection 6 aerosol dataset. Robust thresholding is applied to the dataset in order to distinguish dust at uplift from aged dust and other aerosols. Threshold values are determined through a global statistical analysis of manned observations of dust at uplift. The resulting dataset compares well to other remotely sensed dust uplift datasets. Controls on dust emission are examined by incorporating the new dust emission dataset in a generalised linear model. Candidate predictor variables that have been suggested to play a controlling role in dust emission are regridded to a common monthly 0.5 degree grid for this purpose. For the first time, a global statistical model is used to confirm and quantify a number of expected relationships between vegetation and climate variables and dust uplift frequency. Other quantities often used in the parameterisation of dust emission, such as the presence of pans, are not found to play a key role in suppressing dust emission at the scale of the study. The detection of dust aerosol often relies on its direct radiative effect in the longwave, a characteristic considered unique among aerosols emitted from the land surface. This assumption is interrogated in this thesis through the examination of a longwave signal from a biomass burning plume in Southern Africa. A series of sensitivity studies using a radiative transfer model are performed to establish that a dust component is not required to replicate the signal. The longwave direct radiative efficiency of the pure biomass burning aerosol case tested here is found to have a value of 4.53Wm-2 per unit aerosol optical depth. The longwave direct effect of biomass burning aerosol in the longwave has possible implications for the understanding of the aerosols's impact on climate and suggests further measurements of the optical properties in the longwave are required.

description: Johnson {\it BV} CCD observations have been made of the young Large Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC~2214 and a nearby field using the Anglo-Australian Telescope. It has been suggested in the literature that this elliptical cluster is actually two clusters in the process of merging. No evidence is found from profile fitting or the colour--magnitude diagrams to support this contention. Completeness factors are estimated for the CCD frames. These values are used in conjunction with luminosity functions to estimate the initial mass function (IMF) for NGC~2214. A power law is assumed for the IMF, with a good fit being found for the exponent (1 + $x$) = 2.01~$\pm$ 0.09. There is some indication that the low-mass end (less than or equal to 3 Solar Masses) has a lower gradient than the high-mass end of the derived IMF. This value is in reasonable agreement with literature values for other Magellanic IMFs, and not substantially different from those of the poorly determined Galactic IMFs, suggesting the possibility of a `universal' IMF over the Magellanic Clouds and our Galaxy in the mass range $\sim 1$ to $\sim 10$ Solar Masses.

description: High-K isomers are well known in the rare-earth region and provide unique access to the high spin structures of the nuclei. With the current interest in the study of neutron-rich rare-earth nuclei at Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facilities, we present here theoretical results of the band structures of neutron-rich Gd and Dy nuclei, including the high K-isomers. Apart from the already known K-isomers, we predict some more K-isomers and these are suggested for future studies at RIB facilities. Self-consistent Deformed Hartree-Fock and Angular Momentum Projection theories are used to get the intrinsic structures, band-spectra and electromagnetic transitions probabilities of the ground band as well as bands based on isomers.

description: We present new Fokker-Planck models of the evolution of globular clusters, including gravitational tidal shocks. We extend our calculations beyond the core collapse by adopting three-body binary heating. Effects of the shocks are included by adding the tidal shock diffusion coefficients to the ordinary Fokker-Planck equation: the first order heating term, , and the second order energy dispersion term, . As an example, we investigate the evolution of models for the globular cluster NGC 6254. Using the Hipparcos proper motions, we are now able to construct orbits of this cluster in the Galaxy. Tidal shocks accelerate significantly both core collapse and the evaporation of the cluster and shorten the destruction time from 24 Gyr to 18 Gyr. We examine various types of adiabatic corrections and find that they are critical for accurate calculation of the evolution. Without adiabatic corrections, the destruction time of the cluster is twice as short. We examine cluster evolution for a wide range of the concentration and tidal shock parameters, and determine the region of the parameter space where tidal shocks dominate the evolution. We present fitting formulae for the core collapse time and the destruction time, covering all reasonable initial conditions. In the limit of strong shocks, the typical value of the core collapse time decreases from 10 t_{rh} to 3 t_{rh} or less, while the destruction time is just twice that number. The effects of tidal shocks are rapidly self-limiting: as clusters lose mass and become more compact, the importance of the shocks diminishes. This implies that tidal shocks were more important in the past.

description: This article formulates recommendations for providing assistance to men with chronic prostatitis, taking into account features of etiopathogenesis and clinical picture of this disease. It is substantiated that to increase efficiency treatment should preferably not rely on the traditional classification of prostatitis proposed by the American National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIH NIDDK, 1995), and to the more modern classification UPOINT. The indications for prescribing various drugs and non-drug effects have been clarified: antibiotics, alpha blockers, M-anticholinergics, analgesics, antidepressants, herbal medicines, pelvic floor physiotherapy, psychotherapy.

description: Relying on samples of disk galaxies for which a detailed photometric bulge/disk decomposition has been provided in the literature, we examine the dependence of the bulge-to-disk luminosity ratio (B/D) on the blue absolute luminosity and on the environmental density. In our statistical analysis of various B/D data sets we pay particular attention to disentangling the role played by the galaxy morphology--galaxy density relation. Besides, we focus our attention on nearby ($z<0.01$) galaxies, for which we can provide a three-dimensional characterization of the local galaxy density. We find that the observed tendency of galaxies to have greater B/D with increasing galaxy density simply reflects the average decline of B/D towards later morphological types together with the morphology--density relation. This relation tends to give rise also to a greater proportion of bright bulges in denser regions, because the decrease of B/D towards later types is mostly due to a dimming of the bulge rather than to a brightening of the disk. But when we remove the effect induced by the morphology--density relation, we detect no clear evidence of a dependence of B/D on galaxy density. Furthermore, B/D turns out to be substantially unrelated to the blue absolute magnitude of the galaxy. We briefly discuss to what extent our results (partially) disagree with previous claims.

MEASURING GALAXY MASSES USING GALAXY-GALAXY GRAVITATIONAL LENSING

description: We report a significant detection of weak, tangential distortion of the images of cosmologically distant, faint galaxies due to gravitational lensing by foreground galaxies. A mean image polarisation of $=0.011\pm 0.006$ is measured for 3202 pairs of source galaxies with magnitudes $23< r \le 24$ and lens galaxies with magnitudes $20\le r\le 23$. The signal remains strong for lens-source separations $\lo 90''$, consistent with quasi-isothermal galaxy halos extending to large radii ($\go 100h^{-1}$ kpc). Our observations thus provide the first evidence from weak gravitational lensing of large scale dark halos associated with individual galaxies. The observed polarisation is also consistent with the signal expected on the basis of simulations incorporating measured properties of local galaxies and modest extrapolations of the observed redshift distribution of faint galaxies. From the simulations we derive a best-fit halo circular velocity of $V\sim 220$ km/s and characteristic radial extent of $s \go 100h^{-1}$ kpc. Our best-fit halo parameters imply typical masses for the lens galaxies within a radius of $100h^{-1}$ kpc on the order of $1.0^{+1.1}_{-0.7}\times 10^{12}h^{-1} M_\odot$, in good agreement with recent dynamical estimates of the masses of local spiral galaxies. This is particularly encouraging as the lensing and dynamical mass estimators rely on different sets of assumptions. Contamination of the gravitational lensing signal by a population of tidally distorted satellite galaxies can be ruled out with reasonable confidence. The prospects for corroborating and improving this measurement seem good, especially using deep HST archival data.
