description: Within the standard V - A theory of weak interactions, Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and the linear sigma-model (LsM) of strong low-energy hadronic interactions we analyse gauge properties of hadronic structure of the neutron and proton in the neutron radiative beta-decay. We show that the Feynman diagrams, describing contributions of hadronic structure to the amplitude of the neutron radiative beta-decay in the tree-approximation for strong low-energy interactions in the LsM, are gauge invariant. In turn, the complete set of Feynman diagrams, describing the contributions of hadron-photon interactions in the one-hadron-loop approximation, is not gauge invariant. In the infinite limit of the scalar sigma-meson, reproducing the current algebra results (Weinberg, Phys. Rev. Lett. 18, 188 (1967)), and to leading order in the large nucleon mass expansion the Feynman diagrams, violating gauge invariance, do not contribute to the amplitude of the neutron radiative beta-decay in agreement with Sirlin's analysis of strong low-energy interactions in neutron beta decays. We assert that the problem of appearance of gauge non-invariant Feynman diagrams of hadronic structure of the neutron and proton is related to the following. The vertex of the effective V-A weak interactions does not belong to the combined quantum field theory including the LsM and QED. We argue that gauge invariant set of Feynman diagrams of hadrons, coupled to real and virtual photons in neutron beta decays, can be obtained within the combined quantum field theory including the Standard Electroweak Model (SEM) and the LsM, where the effective V-A vertex of weak interactions is a result of the W^- - electroweak boson exchange.

A Benchmarking Study of the Impacts of Security Regulations on Container Port Efficiency
Creators: name: Bichou, Khalid
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Since the terrorist attacks in the USA in September 2001, several regulations have been introduced with a special emphasis on the security of containerised port operations. Global security measures specifically targeting container-port operations include the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) code, the Container Security Initiative (CSI), and the 24-hour Advance Vessel Manifest Rule (the 24-hour rule). Nevertheless, no attempt has been made to-date to investigate the ex-post impacts of security on the operational efficiency of container ports and terminals. This PhD research seeks to adopt an approach that incorporates within an analytical framework the association of security with operational efficiency, tools for modelling procedural security, and techniques for benchmarking container-port efficiency. A panel data set of 39 ports and 60 container terminals from 2000 until 2006 is used resulting into 420 container-terminal decision-making units (DMUs). In order to account equally for container terminal operational configurations and the multi-input/ multi-output nature of container port production, we apply both process modelling and analytical benchmarking techniques. These are the Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing Definition (IDEF0) for operational and security modelling, and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for efficiency measurement and benchmarking. Based on the results of IDEF0 modelling, we disaggregate container-port operations by terminal sites (quay, yard and gate) and spatial scope of security and apply alternative DEA models to analyse (i) the operational impact of individual and aggregate security regulations and (ii) the influence of operating and exogenous factors on port efficiency. We then estimate a Malmquist productivity index (MPI) to measure and decompose productivity changes following the introduction of new security measures. The results of the research confirm that both handling configurations and operating procedures have a direct effect on container terminal’s productive efficiency. The analysis of the impact of security on operational efficiency shows that the latter varies greatly by security regulation and terminal group but there is evidence of generalised productivity gains from the technological progress prompted by investments in the new security technology. More importantly, the implementation of the new port security measures revealed several inherent logistical inefficiencies especially in the way terminal policies and work procedures are being designed, operated, and managed.

description: A number of 2d and 3d four-fermion models which are renormalizable ---in the $1/N$ expansion--- in a maximally symmetric constant curvature space, are investigated. To this purpose, a powerful method for the exact study of spinor heat kernels and propagators on maximally symmetric spaces is reviewed. The renormalized effective potential is found for any value of the curvature and its asymptotic expansion is given explicitly, both for small and for strong curvature. The influence of gravity on the dynamical symmetry breaking pattern of some U(2) flavor-like and discrete symmetries is described in detail. %It is seen explicitly that the effect of a %negative curvature is similar to that of a magnetic field. The phase diagram in $S^2$ is constructed and it is shown that, for any value of the coupling constant, a curvature exists above which chiral symmetry is restored. For the case of $H^2$, chiral symmetry is always broken. In three dimensions, in the case of positive curvature, $S^3$, it is seen that some values of the coupling constants lead to a gap equation which has no solutions. Both for $H^3$ and $S^3$ the configuration given by the auxiliary fields equated to zero is not a solution of the gap equation.

Graphon Control of Large-scale Networks of Linear Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: To achieve control objectives for extremely large-scale complex networks using standard methods is essentially intractable. In this work a theory of the approximate control of complex network systems is proposed and developed by the use of graphon theory and the theory of infinite dimensional systems. First, graphon dynamical system models are formulated in an appropriate infinite dimensional space in order to represent arbitrary-size networks of linear dynamical systems, and to define the convergence of sequences of network systems with limits in the space. Exact controllability and approximate controllability of graphon dynamical systems are then investigated. Second, the minimum energy state-to-state control problem and the linear quadratic regulator problem for systems on complex networks are considered. The control problem for graphon limit systems is solved in each case and approximations are defined which yield control laws for the original control problems. Furthermore, convergence properties of the approximation schemes are established. A systematic control design methodology is developed within this framework. Finally, numerical examples of networks with randomly sampled weightings are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the graphon control methodology.

Research Software Engineering

description: Research software plays a crucial role in advancing various disciplines and driving scientific progress. Typically developed by scientists with a focus on short-term objectives, due to the pressure to publish results as fast as possible. Therefore, such software often faces challenges in regard to software quality and suffers from reproducibility issues caused by the rushed implementation and the developers’ limited training in software engineering. This hampers its widespread and enduring usage, thereby impeding the quality and pace of scientific research. The SURESOFT project aims to tackle these issues by establishing a cohesive methodology and infrastructure applicable to most research software projects. While leveraging tools and principles from the discipline of software engineering like version control, continuous integration, containerization, software design principles and patterns as well as testing and Test Driven Development, SURESOFT seeks to enable researchers to enhance the quality of research software to ensure its long-term sustainability and availability.
Tools to Examine Mechanotransduction

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 69999 Biological Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Organisms experience acute and chronic mechanical forces. Acute mechanical stimulation in Drosophila induces the ectopic expression of developmental regulatory genes. Chronic exposure to microgravity and hypergravity causes many changes in mRNA levels and cell behavior.
These transcriptional changes occur downstream of mechanical transduction pathways yet to be identified. To investigate pathways of mechanotransduction, this thesis developed tools to apply acute and chronic mechanical stimulation in vivo with high-throughput:
• A mesofluidic device to automatic align, immobilize, compress,
image, and recover hundreds of live Drosophila embryos
• A custom centrifuge to apply hypergravity to hundreds of Drosophila
and zebrafish embryos
• A 3D-printed stamp to align zebrafish embryos for imaging
• A visual processing algorithm to segment Rohon-Beard neurons
• A series of macros to automate hyperstack and DIGE analysis
Using these methods, we:
• Show mechanical induction of twist in Drosophila
• Show gravitational induction of neurogenin in zebrafish
• Map and quantify the ectopic distribution of twist
• Measure Drosophila embryo stiffness
• Blueprint the development of future mesofluidic devices
• Run comparative proteomics across three mechanical modes, identifying
14 reciprocal changes between simulated microgravity and
hypergravity, 7 of which are shared with compression
Taken together, this thesis is a study in interdisciplinary collaboration to create a pipeline of tools. The unifying theme is high-throughput in vivo mechanotransduction. A ”mesomechanics” approach combines
the high-throughput automation and precision of microfluidics, automated image processing, and proteomics, with the biological relevance of live embryos to examine mechanotransduction. The long-term goal is to uncover and dissect pathways of mechanotransduction required
for normal cell function, development, and disease.

description: In the zero temperature Glauber dynamics of the ferromagnetic Ising or $q$-state Potts model, the size of domains is known to grow like $t^{1/2}$. Recent simulations have shown that the fraction $r(q,t)$ of spins which have never flipped up to time $t$ decays like a power law $r(q,t) \sim t^{-θ(q)}$ with a non-trivial dependence of the exponent $θ(q)$ on $q$ and on space dimension. By mapping the problem on an exactly soluble one-species coagulation model ($A+A\rightarrow A$), we obtain the exact expression of $θ(q)$ in dimension one.

description: The U(1) gauge theory on a D3-brane with non-commutative worldvolume is shown to admit BIon-like solutions which saturate a BPS bound on the energy. The mapping of these solutions to ordinary fields is found exactly, namely non-perturbatively in the non-commutativity parameters. The result is precisely an ordinary supersymmetric BIon in the presence of a background B-field. We argue that the result provides evidence in favour of the exact equivalence of the non-commutative and the ordinary descriptions of D-branes.

description: Some questions arising in the application of the thermal model to hadron production in heavy ion collisions are studied. We do so by applying the thermal model of hadron production to particle yields calculated by the microscopic transport model RQMD(v2.3). We study the bias of incomplete information about the final hadronic state on the extraction of thermal parameters.It is found that the subset of particles measured typically in the experiments looks more thermal than the complete set of stable particles. The hadrons which show the largest deviations from thermal behaviour in RQMD(v2.3) are the multistrange baryons and antibaryons. We also looked at the influence of rapidity cuts on the extraction of thermal parameters and found that they lead to different thermal parameters and larger disagreement between the RQMD yields and the thermal model.

description: Objectives: The Seegene AllplexTM Respiratory panel was retrospectively challenged using a collection of quality control samples (QCMD) and clinical samples previously analysed with validated routine methods. Methods: A collection of 111 samples [43 QCMD samples, 13 bronchoalveolar lavage fluids and 55 nasopharyngeal aspirates/swabs] was tested with Seegene AllplexTM. The clinical samples were tested previously using either FTD® Respiratory Pathogens 21 qPCR assay (Fast Track Diagnostics), an in-house multiplex PCR for Bordetella, or BioGX Sample-ReadyTM Atypical pneumo panel (Becton Dickinson). Samples were stored at −80°C prior to analysis with Seegene Allplex™, nucleic acids were automatically extracted with NucliSENS Easymag (bioMérieux). Samples returning discordant results were subjected to repeat testing and/or additional testing by reference laboratories. Results: Seegene correctly identified 41/43 QCMD samples (95.4%); two samples positive for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus, respectively, were only correctly identified following repeat testing. In the 56 clinical samples, overall, 97 pathogens were identified: 65 pathogens (67.0%) were detected both by routine methods and Seegene, 24 pathogens (24.7%) only by routine methods, and 8 pathogens (8.2%) only by Seegene. The majority of discordant results was detected in samples with low pathogen load (22/32, 68.8%) and in samples containing multiple pathogens (25/32, 78.1%). Full agreement between methods was observed for influenza, RSV, adenovirus, Bordetella (para)pertussis and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Discordance was observed for human metapneumovirus, coronavirus OC43, bocavirus and parainfluenza virus, mainly type 4. Conclusion: Overall, the Seegene AllplexTM assay performed well for routine detection of important respiratory targets. Acceptable agreement was observed between Seegene and other routine assays.

description: Nonadiabatic transition dynamics lies at the core of many electron/hole transfer, photoactivated, and vacuum field-coupled processes. About a century after Ehrenfest proposed "Phasenraum" and the Ehrenfest theorem, we report a conceptually novel trajectory-based nonadiabatic dynamics approach, nonadiabatic field (NaF), based on a generalized exact coordinate-momentum phase space formulation of quantum mechanics. It does not employ the conventional Born-Oppenheimer or Ehrenfest trajectory in the nonadiabatic coupling region. Instead, in NaF the equations of motion of the independent trajectory involve a nonadiabatic nuclear force term in addition to an adiabatic nuclear force term of a single electronic state. A few benchmark tests for gas phase and condensed phase systems indicate that NaF offers a practical tool to capture the correct correlation of electronic and nuclear dynamics for processes where the states remain coupled all the time as well as for the asymptotic region where the coupling of electronic states vanishes.

description: Industrial PID consists of three elements: Lag (integrator), Lead (Differentiator) and Low Pass Filters (LPF). PID being a linear control method is inherently bounded by the waterbed effect due to which there exists a trade-off between precision \& tracking, provided by Lag and LPF on one side and stability \& robustness, provided by Lead on the other side. Nonlinear reset strategies applied in Lag and LPF elements have been very effective in reducing this trade-off. However, there is lack of study in developing a reset Lead element. In this paper, we develop a novel lead element which provides higher precision and stability compared to the linear lead filter and can be used as a replacement for the same. The concept is presented and validated on a Lorentz-actuated nanometer precision stage. Improvements in precision, tracking and bandwidth are shown through two separate designs. Performance is validated in both time and frequency domain to ensure that phase margin achieved on the practical setup matches design theories.

The interface between innate and adaptive immune responses: the role of coagulation proteins
Creators: name: Shrivastava, Seema
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: The role of coagulation proteins (CPs) in systems other than haemostasis is now recognised. Many of these cellular effects are through protease activated receptors (PARs). This project investigates how CPs influence the adaptive immune response, firstly through the expression of tissue factor (TF) on DCs; secondly through the action of PARs on dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells; and thirdly by examining the direct effect of anti-thrombin (AT) on DCs. This work identified for the first time a subset of mouse DCs that expresses TF. The form of TF changed from cryptic to pro-coagulant as DCs matured. In addition it was found that blocking TF on immature but not mature DCs enhanced their stimulatory capacity, possibly through PAR-2 signalling. In vivo studies supported this finding and suggest that inhibiting TF breaks T cell tolerance. Thrombin enhanced the T cell response through an effect on DCs but not T cells. Both primary and secondary responses increased but there was no change when stimulated T cells were rechallenged with thrombin-incubated DCs. This mechanism was not through changes in MHCII, co-stimulatory molecules or cytokine production. Although DCs expressed PAR, individual PAR-1 or PAR-4 activation did not affect DC stimulatory capacity. Anti-thrombin was found to reduce T cell activation in vivo. When DCs were treated with AT alone there was no change in T cell response, whereas treatment with AT before LPS led to an increase in IL-4 and IL-10 from T cells suggesting induction of tolerance. Anergy and T cell suppressor assays, however, failed to demonstrate a tolerant phenotype. Overall the findings demonstrate that DCs have the ability to generate and respond to CPs and thus influence the T cell response. This work identifies potential new targets in the innate system which may be used to influence the adaptive immune response.
Olfactory basis of host-recognition in the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae
Creators: name: Webster, Ben
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Behavioural and electrophysiological responses of winged virginoparous Aphis fabae to volatile compounds of faba bean, Vicia faba, were studied and semiochemicals used in host location identified. In olfactometer bioassays, aphids responded positively to V. faba volatiles from an intact plant. This response also occurred when volatiles from an air entrainment sample of a V. faba plant were tested. Coupled gas chromatography-electroantennography revealed the presence of 16 electrophysiologically active volatile compounds in the air entrainment sample and 15 of these were identified as (E)-2-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, 1-hexanol, benzaldehyde, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, octanal, (Z)-3-hexen-1-yl acetate, (R)-linalool, methyl salicylate, decanal, undecanal, (E)-caryophyllene, (E)-β-farnesene, (S)-germacrene D, and (E,E,)-4,8,12-trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene. A synthetic blend consisting of all identified compounds in the same concentration and ratio as in the air entrainment sample elicited a similar behavioural response from the aphids as the air entrainment sample. Each compound was tested for behavioural activity individually at the same concentration as in the air entrainment sample and subsequently over a range of different doses. It was found that the response to the complete blend was not due to a response to a single compound. Dose response experiments also revealed ten of the compounds elicited negative behavioural responses from aphids. Further behavioural experiments revealed that these responses were context-specific and behavioural activity of individual compounds was different when they were presented alongside other compounds in the blend. It was hypothesised that a blend of host volatiles in a species-specific ratio may be used by A. fabae to recognise its host. To determine whether or not ratios of volatiles could provide a reliable cue to host seeking aphids, intra-specific and diurnal variation of ratios of volatiles emitted were investigated. Although considerable variation in ratios was observed the quantities of some pairs of compounds were positively correlated, indicating a degree of consistency in the ratios.

description: The physio-pathological role of mitochondria in aging and age-related diseases has stimulated the search for compounds able to promote mitochondrial functionality. Our study was designed to evaluate the effect of a white grape juice extract (WGJe) on mitochondrial activity, in an ex vivo experimental model consisting of activated lymphocytes obtained from a younger age group and an older age group of subjects. WGJe steadily decreased the lymphocytic mitochondrial mass in the older subjects, without a relevant effect in their younger counterpart, and significantly enhanced Δψm in both groups investigated. Finally, WGJe reduced the endogenous mitochondrial production of H2O2 in all subjects. The results support the potential use of WGJe to improve mitochondrial functionality, thus maintaining human health and slowing down aging.

Nanotechnology and Institutional Change: The Co-Industrial and Institutional Emergence of Nanotechnology as a Demonstrative Case of a New Form of Institutional Entrepreneurship
Creators: name: Auplat, Claire Aimee
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: This study provides a conceptual framework of the combined actions of various groups of stakeholders to account for a new field of institutional emergence: technology-centred institutional emergence. The aim is to gain better understanding of the process of the coinstitutional and industrial emergence of a new technology. Rather than focusing on a particular group of stakeholders, the institutional entrepreneurial ‘heroes’, the chosen perspective is to provide evidence that institutional entrepreneurship is a complex process which results from a multifaceted web of interactions. By focusing on the particular empirical case of the co-industrial and institutional emergence of nanotechnology, it reveals some of the characteristics of this process. The empirical field of nanotechnology is the nexus of a whole range of technical, economic and social activities and is at the core of much debate relating to ethics, regulation, economics and politics. Therefore it constitutes an excellent domain of research to enable the replicability of the findings. The scope of the study is global, with a particular focus on Europe and the United States. In this research, I draw mainly from the theoretical frameworks of new institutionalism and entrepreneurship. New institutionalism claims that institutions operate in an environment consisting of other institutions which influence them and that to survive in such an environment, organisations need to establish legitimacy within the world of institutions. The establishment of legitimacy is at the heart of this research and I show that in the field of nanotechnology ventures, institutional legitimacy arises from close interactions between entrepreneurship and institutional entrepreneurship. Building on this conceptual framework I show that: • The process of nanotechnology institutional emergence is co-evolutionary with that of industrial emergence. • Institutional emergence in nanotechnologies results from a specific web of interactions where increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable development constitutes an overlapping area of the distinct visions of each group of stakeholders and may be seen as the connecting element which keeps otherwise potentially diverging agendas together. My demonstration rests on a model which postulates that nanotechnology institutional emergence results from the combined interactions of mainly five groups of stakeholders: entrepreneurs, commentators, end users, scientists and policy makers.
A note on the analyticity of AdS scalar exchange graphs in the crossed channel

description: We discuss the analytic properties of AdS scalar exchange graphs in the crossed channel. We show that the possible non-analytic terms drop out by virtue of non-trivial properties of generalized hypergeometric functions. The absence of non-analytic terms is a necessary condition for the existence of an operator product expansion for CFT amplitudes obtained from AdS/CFT correspondence.

Bessel beams: a novel approach to periodic structures
Creators: name: Norfolk, Andrew W. G.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Bessel and Bessel-like beams in Kerr-like nonlinear materials are numerically investigated. This is conducted with a view to exploiting the behaviour of such profiles for the direct laser writing of periodic structures in highly nonlinear glasses. A highly efficient numerical model is developed for the propagation of radially symmetric profiles based on the quasi-discrete Hankel transform (QDHT), making use of a reconstruction relation to allow the field to be sampled at arbitrary positions that do not coincide with the numerical grid. This Hankel-based Adaptive Radial Propagator (HARP) is shown to be up to 1000 times faster than standard FFT-based methods. The critical self-focusing of the Gaussian beam is reproduced to confirm the accuracy of HARP. Following this the critical self-focusing behaviour of a Bessel-Gauss beam is investigated. It is observed that, for certain parameters, increasing the beam power may prevent blowup in the Bessel-Gauss beam. Below the threshold for self-focusing the Bessel-Gauss beam exhibits periodic modulation in the direction of propagation. The existing equation describing this behaviour is shown to be inaccurate and a modification is proposed based on a power dependent beat-length. This modified beat-length equation is demonstrated to be accurate in both the paraxial and quasi-nonparaxial regime. As the beam decays, the intensity modulation appears negatively chirped. It is demonstrated that this chirp may be controlled through careful shaping of the window. It is also shown that a small Gaussian seed beam may be used to control the positions of the maxima. It is demonstrated that a set of nonlinear Bessel functions exist that exhibit a similar quasi-stationary behaviour in a nonlinear medium to the linear Bessel beam in a linear medium. Furthermore it is shown for the first time that higher-order, Bessel-like, stationary solutions exist for beams with azimuthal phase, and boundary conditions for these functions are derived.

description: The isospin-invariant interacting boson model IBM-3 is analyzed in situations where $SU_T(3)$ charge symmetry [or, equivalently, $U_L(6)$ $sd$ symmetry] is conserved. Analytic expressions for energies, electromagnetic transitions, two-nucleon transfer probabilities, and boson-number expectation values are obtained for the three possible dynamical symmetry limits, U(5), SU(3), and O(6). Results found in IBM-3 are related to corresponding ones in IBM-1 and IBM-2. Numerical calculations are presented for $f_{7/2}$-shell nuclei and some features that distinguish IBM-3 from its predecessors IBM-1 and IBM-2 are pointed out.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
