description: We theoretically study the spin-resolved subgap transport properties of a Cooper pair splitter based on a triple quantum dot attached to superconducting and ferromagnetic leads. Using the Keldysh Green's function formalism, we analyze the dependence of the Andreev conductance, Cooper pair splitting efficiency, and tunnel magnetoresistance on the gate and bias voltages applied to the system. We show that the system's transport properties are strongly affected by spin dependence of tunneling processes and quantum interference between different local and nonlocal Andreev reflections. We also study the effects of finite hopping between the side quantum dots on the Andreev current. This allows for identifying the optimal conditions for enhancing the Cooper pair splitting efficiency of the device. We find that the splitting efficiency exhibits a nonmonotonic dependence on the degree of spin polarization of the leads and the magnitude and type of hopping between the dots. An almost perfect splitting efficiency is predicted in the nonlinear response regime when the energies of the side quantum dots are tuned to the energies of the corresponding Andreev bound states. In addition, we analyzed features of the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) for a wide range of the gate and bias voltages, as well as for different model parameters, finding the corresponding sign changes of the TMR in certain transport regimes. The mechanisms leading to these effects are thoroughly discussed.

Robust Portfolio Optimisation using Risk Measures and Applications
Creators: name: Kapsos, Michalis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Portfolio selection is a decision problem that can be formulated as a mathematical optimisation program. Ever since portfolio selection has been first modelled as a mathematical optimisation problem, a number of frameworks have emerged. These different frameworks aim to address the shortfalls and limitations of previous models. However, most of these models rely on the weak assumption, that the input parameters are known exactly. In the existence of uncertainty surrounding the input parameters, the outcome of a deterministic optimisation problem might be overoptimistic with unexpected consequences in certain scenarios. Robust optimisation deals with the uncertainty surrounding the input parameters. This framework approaches the uncertainty as deterministic and the solution provides certain guarantees, given that the realized scenario is within the considered uncertainty set. The consideration of all possible scenarios leads to more sensible decisions. Robust optimisation frameworks are quite popular in engineering, whereas an overoptimistic solution might yield a catastrophic outcome. This thesis aims to investigate the portfolio construction using robust optimisation frameworks. More specifically, we formulate existing deterministic optimisation models as robust optimisation models and show that they remain tractable under several types of uncertainty. In particular, we examine the distributionally robust Omega Ratio maximization (through solving the Omega Ratio as a convex optimisation problem) and we show that it remains tractable under mixture distribution, ellipsoidal and box uncertainty. In order to illustrate this, we first show that the Omega Ratio maximization is a convex optimisation problem. In addition, we show that the robust counterpart of the Equally-weighted Risk Contribution problem can also be formulated as a convex optimisation problem. We finally provide numerical evidence that suggest the existence of a positive premium for the portfolios constructed using robust formulations versus the deterministic models. The numerical evidence is based on real-life data that span the pre-and post- credit crisis periods.

description: Covariant or invariant functions under a compact linear group can be expressed in terms of functions defined in the orbit space of the group. The semialgebraic relations defining the orbit spaces of all finite coregular real linear groups with at most 4 basic invariants are determined. For each group $G$ acting in $\real^n$, the results are obtained through the computation of a metric matrix $\widehat P(p)$, which is defined only in terms of the scalar products between the gradients of a set of basic polynomial invariants $p_1(x),\dots p_q(x),\x\in\real^n$ of $G$; the semi-positivity conditions $\widehat P(p)\ge 0$ are known to determine all the equalities and inequalities defining the orbit space $\real^n/G$ of $G$ as a semi-algebraic variety in the space $\real^q$ spanned by the variables $p_1,\dots ,p_q$. In a recent paper, the $\widehat P$-matrices, for $q\le 4$, have been determined in an alternative way, as solutions of a universal differential equation;the present paper yields a partial, but significant, check on the correctness and completeness of these solutions. Our results can be widely exploited,e.g. in the determination of patterns of spontaneous symmetry breaking, in the analysis of structural phase transitions (Landau's theory),in covariant bifurcation theory,in crystal field theory and in solid state theory where symmetry adapted functions are used.

description: There is demand from patients and clinicians to use the Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) with or without partial enteral nutrition (PEN). However, the therapeutic efficacy and nutritional adequacy of this therapy are rudimentary in an adult population. This review examines the evidence for the CDED in adults with active luminal Crohn's disease and aims to provide practical guidance on the use of the CDED in Australian adults. A working group of nine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) dietitians of DECCAN (Dietitians Crohn's and Colitis Australian Network) and an IBD gastroenterologist was established. A literature review was undertaken to examine (1) clinical indications, (2) monitoring, (3) dietary adequacy, (4) guidance for remission phase, and (5) diet reintroduction after therapy. Each diet phase was compared with Australian reference ranges for food groups and micronutrients. CDED with PEN is nutritionally adequate for adults containing sufficient energy and protein and meeting > 80% of the recommended daily intake of key micronutrients. An optimal care pathway for the clinical use of the CDED in an adult population was developed with accompanying consensus statements, clinician toolkit, and patient education brochure. Recommendations for weaning from the CDED to the Australian dietary guidelines were developed. The CDED + PEN provides an alternate partial food-based therapy for remission induction of active luminal Crohn's disease in an adult population. The CDED + PEN should be prioritized over CDED alone and prescribed by a specialist IBD dietitian. DECCAN cautions against using the maintenance diet beyond 12 weeks until further evidence becomes available.
Supermassive Black Holes in Early-Type Galaxies: Relationship with Radio Emission and Constraints on the Black Hole Mass Function

description: Using recently published estimates - based on high spatial resolution spectroscopy - of the mass M_{BH} of nuclear black holes for a sample of nearby galaxies, we explore the dependence of galaxy nucleus emissivity at various wavelengths on M_{BH}. We confirm an almost linear scaling of the black hole mass with the baryonic mass of the host spheroidal galaxy. A remarkably tight relationship is also found with both nuclear and total radio centimetric flux, with a very steep dependence of the radio flux on M_{BH} (P\propto M_{BH}^{2.5}). The high-frequency radio power is thus a very good tracer of a super-massive black hole, and a good estimator of its mass. This, together with the lack of significant correlations with the low-energy X-ray and far-IR flux, supports the view that advection-dominated accretion is ruling the energy output in the low-accretion rate regime. Using the tight dependence of total radio power on M_{BH} and the rich statistics of radio emission of galaxies, we derive an estimate of the mass function of remnants in the nearby universe. This is compared with current models of quasar and AGN activity and of the origin of the hard X-ray background (HXRB). As for the former, continuous long-lived AGN activity is excluded by the present data with high significance, whereas the assumption of a short-lived, possibly recurrent, activity pattern gives remarkable agreement. The presently estimated black hole mass function also implies that the HXRB has been produced by a numerous population (\sim 10^{-2} Mpc^{-3}) of moderately massive (M_{BH}\sim 10^7 M_\odot) black holes.

Three main sections comprise the report. The first is a brief history of each of the thirty-nine major projects, in order according to dates construction commenced. Each project history gives the reason or reasons for its initiation, location, authority for the work, a description of the work, by whom, how and when it was done and the approximate cost. The second section is composed of descriptions of the twenty main features of construction. Photographs accompanying each feature bear descriptive titles. The third section is a brief analysis of outstanding reconnaissance, surveys, special work and investigations. Each is accompanied by a location map.
Medium-Term Planning in Deregulated Energy Markets with Decision Rules
Creators: name: Martins Da Silva Rocha, Paula Cristina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The ongoing deregulation of energy markets has greatly impacted the power industry. In this new environment, firms shift their focus from cost-efficient energy supply to more profit-oriented goals, trading energy at the price set by the market. Consequently, traditional management approaches based on cost minimisation disregarding market uncertainties and financial risk are no longer applicable. In this thesis, we investigate medium-term planning problems in deregulated energy markets. These problems typically involve taking decisions over many periods and are affected by significant uncertainty, most notably energy price uncertainty. Multistage stochastic programming provides a flexible framework for modelling this type of dynamic decision-making process: it allows for future decisions to be represented as decision rules, that is, as measurable functions of the observable data. Multistage stochastic programs are generally intractable. Instead of using classical scenario tree-based techniques, we reduce their computational complexity by restricting the set of decision rules to those that exhibit an affine or quadratic data dependence. Decision rule approaches typically lead to polynomial-time solution schemes and are therefore ideal to tackle industry-size energy problems. However, the favourable scalability properties of the decision rule approach come at the cost of a loss of optimality. Fortunately, the degree of suboptimality can be measured efficiently by solving the dual of the stochastic program under consideration in linear or quadratic decision rules. The approximation error is then estimated by the gap between the optimal values of the primal and the dual decision rule problems. We develop this dual decision rule technique for general quadratic stochastic programs. Using these techniques, we solve a mean-variance portfolio optimisation problem faced by an electricity retailer. We observe that incorporating adaptivity into the model is beneficial in a risk minimisation framework, especially in the presence of high spot price variability or large market prices of risk. For a problem instance involving six electricity derivatives and a monthly planning horizon with daily trading periods, the solution time amounts to a few seconds. In contrast, scenario tree methods result in excessive run times since they require a prohibitively large number of scenarios to preclude arbitrage. Moreover, we address the medium-term scheduling of a cascaded hydropower system. To reduce computational complexity, we partition the planning horizon into hydrological macroperiods, each of which accommodates many trading microperiods, and we account for intra-stage variability through the use of price duration curves. Using linear decision rules, a solution to a real-sized hydro storage problem with a yearly planning horizon comprising 52 weekly macroperiods can be located in a few minutes, with an approximation error of less than 10%.

description: A maximally supersymmetric configuration of super Yang-Mills living on a noncommutative torus corresponds to a constant curvature connection. On a noncommutative toroidal orbifold there is an additional constraint that the connection be equivariant. We study moduli spaces of (equivariant) constant curvature connections on noncommutative even-dimensional tori and on toroidal orbifolds. As an illustration we work out the cases of Z_{2} and Z_{4} orbifolds in detail. The results we obtain agree with a commutative picture describing systems of branes wrapped on cycles of the torus and branes stuck at exceptional orbifold points.

description: Preliminary results obtained from BeppoSAX observation of the starburst galaxy NGC253 are presented. X-ray emission from the object is clearly extended but most of the emission is concentrated on the optical nucleus. Preliminary analysis of the LECS and MECS data obtained using the central 4' region indicates that the continuum is well fitted by two thermal components at 0.9 keV and 7 keV. Fe K line at 6.7 keV is detected for the first time in this galaxy; the line has an equivalent width of ~300eV. The line energy and the shape of the 2-10 keV continuum strongly support thermal origin of the hard X-ray emission of NGC253. From the measurement of the Fe K line the abundances can be unambiguously constrained to ~0.25 the solar value. Other lines clearly detected are Si, S and Fe XVIII/Ne, in agreement with ASCA results.

Two lower diamondoids (adamantane and diamantane), three adamantane derivatives (amantadine, memantine and rimantadine) and two artificial molecules (Adamantane+Na and Diamantane+Na) are studied separately in 125-molecule simulation systems. We performed DFT calculations to optimize their molecular geometries and obtain atomic electronic charges for the corresponding MD simulation, by which we obtained self-assembly structures and simulation trajectories for the seven molecules. Radial distribution functions and structure factors studies showed clear phase transitions for the seven molecules.

description: The homesteading era is a fascinating, yet little known, period in the history of Elmendorf Air Force Base (AFB). The land originally claimed by the Dena' in and now claimed by the military, provided, for a short time, homes and livelihoods for a group of Alaska pioneers, referred to here as the Elmendorf homesteaders. They began making entry onto their homestead parcels in 1914, when nearby Anchorage was simply a glorified tent city of railroad construction workers. Through the decades of the 1920s and 1930s, many others continued to apply for patent to homestead lands. The era came abruptly to a halt with military build-up at the beginning of World War II and the construction of Elmendorf Field, part of the Army's Fort Richardson, in 1940. Much of the land set aside for the military base was then owned by homesteaders, who had proven up on their claims and held title to their property. This report is one in a series of recent studies undertaken by the air force, in cooperation with the National Park Service, to provide a solid background of information for long-range planning and management of the cultural resources on Elmendorf AFB.

description: The FRA railroad track system was originally constructed in the 1950's with 70 lb. track components, and the majority of the components used to construct the system were used parts obtained from the Copper river and Great Northwestern Railroad which operated between Cordova and Kennecott, Alaska, and which shut down operations in 1938. Most of these components are dated between 1907 and 1928. Some rail and hardware components were obtained from the Panama Canal Zone, and are dated between 1895 and 1897. After a condition assessment of the FRA railroad there have been several track systems that were closed due to track damage, failure, or simple lack of maintenance. This report details results of the conditions assessments with information explaining unoperational and operational parts of the rail system. This document also further explains a plan for removal of unoperational parts of the railroad.

description: Medical devices with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) modulating functionality are highly desirable to restore tissue homeostasis in critical inflammation states, such as chronic wounds, rotator cuff tears and cancer. The introduction of MMP-modulating functionality in such devices is typically achieved via loading of either rapidly-diffusing chelating factors, e.g. EDTA, or MMP-cleavable substrates, raising issues in terms of non-controllable pharmacokinetics and enzymatic degradability, respectively. Aiming to accomplish inherent, long-term, device-induced MMP regulation, this study investigated the synthesis of a hydroxamic acid (HA)-methacrylated collagen conjugate as the building block of a soluble factor-free MMP-modulating hydrogel network with controlled enzymatic degradability. This was realised via a two-step synthetic route: (i) type I collagen was functionalised with photonetwork-inducing methacrylic anhydride (MA) adducts; (ii) this methacrylated product was activated with a water-soluble carbodiimide prior to reaction with hydroxylamine, resulting in MMP-chelating HA functions. Nearly-quantitative methacrylation of collagen amines was observed via 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) assay. The molar content of HA adducts was indirectly quantified via conversion of remaining carboxyl functions into ethylenediamine (EDA), so that 12-16 mol.% HA was revealed in the conjugate. Resulting UV cured, HA-bearing collagen hydrogels proved to induce up to ~13 and ~32 RFU% activity reduction of MMP-9 and MMP-3, respectively, following 4-day incubation in vitro. No hydrogel-induced toxic response was observed following 4-day culture of G292 cells. The novel synthetic strategies described in this work provide a new insight into the systematic chemical manipulation of collagen materials aiming at the design of biomimetic, inflammation-responsive medical devices.

Multi–scale Modelling of Refinery Pre–heat Trains Undergoing Fouling for Improved Energy Efficiency
Creators: name: Coletti, Francesco
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Fouling in pre–heat trains of refinery crude distillation units causes major energy inefficiencies, resulting in increased costs, greenhouse gas emissions, maintenance efforts and health and safety hazards. Although chemical and physical phenomena underlying fouling deposition are extremely complex and several details remain unknown, the understanding of the fouling process has progressed significantly in the past 40 years. However, this knowledge has so far not been exploited to effectively improve heat exchanger and heat exchanger network design and operation. As a result, old methodologies that neglect the local effects and dynamics of fouling, in favour of lumped, steady–state, heuristic models (e.g. using TEMA fouling factors) are still used. In this thesis a novel mathematical model for pre–heat trains undergoing crude oil fouling was developed, validated with plant data and used to propose mitigation strategies. The model is dynamic, distributed and considers simultaneously several scales of investigation. Key phenomena are captured at the tube level as a function of local conditions. These include the dependence of fouling rate on temperature and velocity, the variation of physical properties, the structural changes of the deposits over time (ageing) and the dynamics of surface roughness. The single tube model was then extended to describe a unit–scale heat exchanger geometry. This has been validated against plant data from four units in two refineries operated by major oil companies. The predicted outlet temperatures over extended periods (i.e. 4-16 months) are accurate within ±1% for the tube–side and ± 2% for the shell–side. Model simulations were then used to assist the retrofit of one particular unit for which it was possible to save ca. 22% of the energy losses (not including pumping power) produced by fouling over ca. a year of operation. Finally, the interconnection of single heat exchangers in a network allowed the simulation of the fouling behaviour of two existing pre–heat trains. To systematically assess the impact of fouling on refinery economics, a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) was proposed. Network–level simulations were used in conjunction with the KPIs to unveil complex interactions and propose network retrofit arrangements that improve energy recovery over time whilst reducing fouling. It is concluded that the model can be used with confidence to predict fouling and assist monitoring, design and retrofit of refinery heat exchangers and heat exchanger networks. The results shown indicate that the approach proposed can lead to substantial benefits.

description: We present an observation of competition effect among multiple quantum paths in a Raman-type Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer. By measuring the contrast of interference fringes, the competition effect among multiple interference paths is experimentally investigated. Due to the phase competition, the contrast periodically oscillates when modulating either the phase or the interrogation time between Raman pulses. The multiple quantum paths form because of the imperfect population transfer efficiency in stimulated Raman transitions, and are verified by modulating the duration of Raman pulses. The contrast could be optimized by suppressing the phase competition.

description:  India is blessed with diverse agro-climatic conditions and distinct seasons, enabling us to grow various crops. Food security is a major challenge due to unreliable rainfall and declining soil fertility. Most of the soil resources in the arid region, which constitutes a majority of smallholder farmers' fields, are in degraded condition. Hence, there is a need to identify suitable soils for crop selection and proper interventions. These soils functioned at a moderate and poor capacity in crop cultivation. Soil erosion, low AWC and poor soil fertility are the major limitations for crop production in these regions. In arid zones, soil management is the key to increasing crop yield. Agronomic erosion control measures such as cover crops, mulching, organic manure, and mineral fertilizer application are recommended to improve soil fertility in the arid region of India (Awoonor et al., 2023).

description: This report provides a context and themes for assessing the historic significance of DoD Cold War-era resources for NRHP eligibility. Based on earlier guidelines and investigations, which have highlighted many important military functions, the themes developed for this task allow one to assess the significance of resources within the broader military context common to all DoD Components. It is also beneficial for recognizing the historic significance of resources under and over 50 years of age, and provides a stronger case for the national level of significance as opposed to state and local levels. This document is intended to help all those responsible for DoD Cold War resources to move forward in evaluating resources in a consistent manner.
Self-assembly of a drop pattern from a two-dimensional grid of nanometric metallic filaments

description: We report experiments, modeling and numerical simulations of the self--assembly of particle patterns obtained from a nanometric metallic square grid. Initially, nickel filaments of rectangular cross section are patterned on a SiO$_2$ flat surface, and then they are melted by laser irradiation with $\sim 20$ ns pulses. During this time, the liquefied metal dewets the substrate, leading to a linear array of drops along each side of the squares. The experimental data provides a series of SEM images of the resultant morphology as a function of the number of laser pulses or cumulative liquid lifetime. These data are analyzed in terms of fluid mechanical models that account for mass conservation and consider flow evolution with the aim to predict the final number of drops resulting from each side of the square. The aspect ratio, $δ$, between the square sides' lengths and their widths is an essential parameter of the problem. Our models allow us to predict the $δ$-intervals within which a certain final number of drops are expected. The comparison with experimental data shows a good agreement with the model that explicitly considers the Stokes flow developed in the filaments neck region that lead to breakup points. Also, numerical simulations, that solve the Navier-Stokes equations along with slip boundary condition at the contact lines, are implemented to describe the dynamics of the problem.
A Note on the Path Integral Representation of the Boundary State of D-brane

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In this paper we construct path integral representations of the boundary states in some special backgrounds such as the U(1) gauge field background, the linear dilaton background and the open string tachyon background. The initial purpose of this paper is to construct a general solution of the boundary conformal field theory with the analytical approach, mainly for the constraint equations$(L_{n}-\tilde{L}_{-n}) |B > =0 $ are difficult to be solved to obtain the solution represented by string modes from the pure algebraic approach. However in the path integral representation it is easy transforming those algebraic equations into the differential equations which can be solved. Another purpose of this paper is to try to explore an open question. we do not know how to construct an exact theory of D-branes in the general background until now. However many recent researches show the boundary state description indeed seizes some fundamental features of D-branes in the rather special backgrounds. Since the general background field effects can be easily introduced in the path integral representation, we argue that path integral representation of the boundary state should provide an exact description of D branes in the general backgrounds.

Information-Based Jumps, Asymmetry and Dependence in Financial Modelling
Creators: name: Menguturk, Levent Ali
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: In mathematical finance, economies are often presented with the specification of a probability space equipped with a filtration that encodes information flow. The information-based framework of Brody, Hughston and Macrina (BHM) emphasises the role of market information in deriving asset price dynamics, instead of assuming price behaviour from the start. We extend the BHM framework by (i) modelling the nature of access to information through information blockages and activations of new information sources, and (ii) introducing a new class of multivariate Markov processes that we call Generalised Liouville Processes (GLPs) which can model the flow of information about vectors of assets. The analysis of access to information allows us to derive price dynamics with jumps. It additionally enables us to develop an information-switching framework, and price derivatives under regime-switching economies. We also indicate some geometrical aspects of appearances of new information sources. We represent information jumps on the unit sphere in the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions, and on hyperbolic spaces. We use differential geometry, information theory and what we call n-order piecewise enlargements of filtrations to dynamically quantify the impact of sudden changes in the sources of information. This helps us to model the stochastic evolution of what may be viewed as information asymmetry. In related work, we construct GLPs on finite time horizons by splitting so-called Levy random bridges into non-overlapping subprocesses. The terminal values of GLPs have generalised multivariate Liouville distributions, and GLPs can model a wide spectrum of information-driven dependence structures between assets. The law of an n-dimensional GLP under an equivalent measure is that of an n-vector of independent Levy processes. We focus on a special type of GLPs that we call Archimedean Survival Processes (ASPs). The terminal value of an ASP has an [Symbol appears here.

description: We prove the renormalizability of the Curci-Ferrari model with and without auxiliary fields using BRST methods. In both cases we find 5 $Z$ factors instead of 3. We verify our results by explicit one loop calculations. We determine a set of generators for the ``physical states'', many of which have negative norm. Supersymmetrization is considered.

Gold(III) mediated biaryl formation of unfunctionalised aromatics and the total sythesis of (±)-polysiphenol
Creators: name: Monta, Anna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes the studies towards the functionalisation of arenes using gold(III) chloride and the total synthesis of (±)-polysiphenol, a naturally occurring bromophenol, isolated from Polysiphonia urceolata, a red alga of the family of Rhodomelaceae found in Chinese coastal waters. The first chapter details the optimisation of the auration reaction of benzene and trapping of the intermediate species, PhAuCl2, with the use of a coordinating ligand. The isolation and characterisation of the aurated species, PhAuCl2.lut, is also discussed. The intermediate aurated species is utilised to achieve oxidative homocoupling, yielding biphenyl. The reaction is further expanded to a number of electron rich and mildly electron deficient aromatics. Attempts to render the reaction catalytic and to achieve oxidative heterocoupling are also described. The second chapter illustrates the total synthesis of (±)-polysiphenol, via a biomimetically inspired highly regioselective intramolecular oxidative coupling route. The two bromine atoms are installed prior to oxidative coupling, preventing further oxidation to a planar aromatized phenanthrene, however attempts to brominate the aromatic rings following oxidative coupling, have also been carried out. The first synthesis of 1,1’-ethane-1,2-diylbis(2,5,6-tribromobenzene-3,4-diol), another natural product belonging to the family of Rhodomelaceae, is also described. The last section of each chapter details the experimental protocols and spectral characterisation of all the compounds synthesised in this study.

description: We investigate the many-body states of exciton-polaritons that can be observed by pump-probe spectroscopy. Here, a weak-probe `spin-down' polariton is introduced into a coherent state of `spin-up' polaritons created by a strong pump. We show that the $\downarrow$ impurities become dressed by excitations of the $\uparrow$ medium, and form new polaronic quasiparticles that feature two-point and three-point many-body quantum correlations, which, in the low density regime, arise from coupling to the vacuum biexciton and triexciton states respectively. In particular, we find that these correlations generate additional branches and avoided crossings in the $\downarrow$ optical transmission spectrum that have a characteristic dependence on the $\uparrow$-polariton density. Our results thus demonstrate a way to directly observe correlated many-body states in an exciton-polariton system that go beyond classical mean-field theories.
