Toughening Epoxy Polymers and Carbon Fibre Composites with Core-Shell Particles, Block Copolymers and Silica Nanoparticles
Creators: name: Chen, Jing
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Epoxies are a class of high-performance thermosetting polymers which have been widely used in many industrial applications. However, unmodified epoxies are susceptible to brittle fracture due to their highly crosslinked structure. As a result, epoxies are normally toughened to ensure the feasibility of these materials for practical applications. Recently, a new generation of toughening agents such as polysiloxane based core-shell rubber (CSR) particles, amphiphilic block copolymers and silica nanoparticles have been developed to toughen epoxies. These new toughening agents will be studied in this thesis to pursue ultra-tough and stiff epoxies without compromising other desirable properties. Polysiloxane based CSR particles were able to toughen an anhydride cured epoxy over a wide range of temperatures from -109 °C to 20 °C. At -109 °C, the fracture energy of the epoxy could still be increased from 174 to 481 J/m2 with the addition of 20 wt% of the CSR particles. The toughening mechanisms of these CSR particle modified epoxies were identified as shear band yielding and plastic void growth. A series of commercial poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(butylacrylate)-b-poly( methyl methacrylate) (MAM) triblock copolymers were studied as toughening agents in two epoxy systems. The fracture toughness was generally increased by these block copolymers, although their toughening performance was dependent on the crosslink density of the epoxies and the morphologies of the modified epoxies. The MAM modified epoxies were also studied as the matrix materials in fibre-reinforced composites to investigate the transfer of toughness from the matrix materials to the composites. Full (1 to 1) and nearly full toughness transfer was obtained for the composites. Hybrid toughening using a combination of the MAM block copolymer and silica nanoparticles has also been investigated in the same epoxy systems. The addition of the silica nanoparticles further increased the toughness of the MAM modified epoxies if micron-sized MAM particles present.

description: An expeditious approach for the synthesis of thiazolidin-2-imines and 1,3-thiazinan-2-imines through three-components coupling (TCC) of amines, isothiocynates and dihalides under metal-free conditions has been described. Dichloroethane (DCE) employed as two carbon (C2) source for the annulation and obtained saturated five membered heterocycles.With 1,3-dibromopropane, six membered heterocycles were obtained in good yields. The metal-free, broad substrate scope, functional group tolerance and applicability at gram scale synthesis are the advantages of the present protocol.

description: Abstract© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. Mebidangro is a metropolitan area in Sumatera Utara Province that consists of some regencies and cities of Medan, Binjai, Deli Serdang, and Karo. The region becomes one of the national strategic developments that have been assigned by The President. In the planning, a part of the spatial arrangement refers to the role of Kualanamu International airport as the international transportation hub. Meanwhile, PT Angkasapura proposes the aerotropolis, a new town concept that based on the strategic function of the airport. The model is derived from John Kasada's idea about the airport influence in generating and accelerating economic activity in a "city airport." The study aims to explore ideas on planning and design a new town in Mebidangro that applies some aerotropolis theories, including spatial structure, land use and urban design guidelines. The result of the study indicates that aerotropolis can fit the vision of Mebidangro development in improving economic activity as well as community quality of life. However, the implementation should deal with some problems of land ownership and the community readiness. The research can contribute to enrich the way to implement any "import" town planning and design theory that corresponds to local environment condition.

description: Pat Jordan begins her interview with recollections from young adulthood. Throughout the interview, Jordan describes the challenges faced by poor, rural-based youth in Missouri and across the country. She shares anecdotes of sexist and classist treatment in Lebanon High School to illustrate the social dynamics in 1950s Missouri. Jordan gives special attention to the areas of Laclede County. Jordan speaks of her early interest in agriculture and the stigma around it within her high school. Jordan chronicles her move to St. Louis, where she joined the NAACP. Jordan recalls the NAACP's picket of White Castle, the help of NAACP activist Pearlie Evans in securing her housing at Pruitt-Igoe in 1960, and her involvement in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. She describes how she joined CORE in 1963 and the work she did there until 1967. Jordan recalls the changes of CORE in the late 1960s, including the election of W. Charles Ray Howard and the Oakland Conference in 1967. Jordan explains what led her to leave the group and her decision to move to Eminence, Missouri. For the rest of the interview, Jordan describes her life after 1967, including her employment with the Citizen's Equal Rights Alliance. She also describes community uplift efforts within St. Louis. Jordan describes the courses she took at Forest Park Community College and Webster University, as well as her love of history. Other topics of discussion include: Maslow's hierarchy of needs; community gardening and agriculture; truck and service car strikes; and Jordan's relationship with her brother. The interview concludes with Jordan's accounts of FBI surveillance and the circumstances of her last two arrests

description: The conditions for the cancellation of all gauge, gravitational, and mixed anomalies of $N=1$ supersymmetric models in six dimensions are reviewed and illustrated by a number of examples. Of particular interest are models that cannot be realized perturbatively in string theory. An example of this type, which we verify satisfies the anomaly cancellation conditions, is the K3 compactification of the $SO(32)$ theory with small instantons recently proposed by Witten. When the instantons coincide it has gauge group $SO(32) \times Sp(24)$. Two new classes of models, for which non-perturbative string constructions are not yet known, are also presented. They have gauge groups $SO(2n+8)\times Sp(n)$ and $SU(n)\times SU(n)$, where $n$ is an arbitrary positive integer.

description: Selected configuration interaction (sCI) methods including second-order perturbative corrections provide near full CI (FCI) quality energies with only a small fraction of the determinants of the FCI space. Here, we introduce both a state-specific and a multi-state sCI method based on the CIPSI (Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively) algorithm. The present method revises the reference (internal) space under the effect of its interaction with the outer space via the construction of an effective Hamiltonian, following the shifted-Bk philosophy of Davidson and coworkers. In particular, the multi-state algorithm removes the storage bottleneck of the effective Hamiltonian via a low-rank factorization of the dressing matrix.

Instrument Tracking and Navigation for MRI-guided Interventions
Creators: name: Galassi, Francesca
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Interventional MRI requires accurate and fast localization of medical instruments within the imaging volume of the MR scanner. Furthermore, in view of tissue motion and target dislocation, accurate intra-operative imaging is demanded. The research presented in this thesis addresses these issues with reference to a proposed MRI-guided transrectal prostate biopsy system. As the instrument is not visible in the MR images, RF fiducial markers embedded within the instrument are used to determine its pose. A novel localization method to compute the location of N fiducial markers using 1D projections is presented. The method is shown to yield significant improvements over previously proposed methods. Computational complexity was significantly reduced by avoiding cluster analysis, while high accuracy was achieved by using a set of optimally chosen projections and by applying Gaussian interpolation in peak detection. The method was analyzed and validated using a combination of experiments and Monte Carlo simulations. Experiments in 1.5 T and 2.9 T MR scanners involved both water phantoms and volunteer subjects. High robustness and sub-pixel accuracy were demonstrated while the computational time showed an improvement of up to a factor of 100 over existing solutions. This method was employed as the basis for tracking the endorectal probe during the prostate biopsy procedure. The probe was positioned by means of a remotely actuated manipulator. Miniature semiactive markers were embedded within the probe in a rigid known geometrical configuration and tracked by means of the localization method. At each position, Least-Squares fitting of the probe model with the localized one was performed in order to achieve more accurate tracking. Navigation of the probe and biopsy needle was realized through a dedicated graphical user interface. This interface displayed interpolated cross sections through the MR imaging volume and simplified graphical models of the instruments overlaid on the anatomy. Visual guidance was further improved by filtering of the markers' positions, which was enabled by the high tracking rate. In order to improve intra-operative imaging a novel external receiver array was designed and a prototype was built, as an alternative to the more conventional endorectal and pelvic receivers. This new array coil was optimized for imaging of the prostatic area for a patient in the prone position by combining a buttery coil and three single trapezoidal loops. The design is suitable for positioning the endorectal probe and does not introduce any spatial limitation to the range of movements. Experiments in a 1.5 T MR scanner and simulations demonstrated higher receiver sensitivity and homogeneity than conventional coils and also a significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio.

description: Using a geometric realization of the $SU(2)_R$ symmetry and a procedure of factorisation of the gauge and $SU(2)_R$ charges, we study the small instanton singularities of the Higgs branch of supersymmetric $U(1)^r$ gauge theories with eight supercharges. We derive new solutions for the moduli space of vacua preserving manifestly the eight supercharges. In particular, we obtain an extension of the ordinary ADE singularities for hyperKahler manifolds and show that the classical moduli space of vacua is in general given by cotangent bundles of compact weighted projective spaces.

Ionic Liquid Effects on Nucleophilic Substitutions
Creators: name: Fraser, Georgina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis we demonstrate a fundamental difference between nucleophilic substitution reaction mechanisms in ionic liquids versus conventional solvents. Reported herein are the effects of ionic liquid solvents on substitution reactions between a cationic electrophile and the chloride anion of various organic and inorganic salts. We have combined novel quantitative studies of the nucleophilic source [Cat]Cl with our studies of [C4C1im]Cl and compared their reactivities, k2. For the first time, Eyring activation parameters have been calculated for substitution reactions between charged species in ionic liquid solvents and reveal a hitherto unprecedented role of the cation in the transition state. The activation parameters (ΔH≠ and ΔS≠) suggest the reactivity of the chloride anion can be manipulated by varying the size and chemical nature of the cation, and also shed light on cation hydrogen bond donating effects. The superior ability of ionic liquid solvents to fully screen the charges of reactant ions is shown to break down as ions become larger, less charge dense and display a tendency to self-aggregate.

description: The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) of white dwarfs (WDs) plays an important role in stellar evolution. To derive precise estimates of IFMRs and explore how they may vary among star clusters, we propose a Bayesian hierarchical model that pools photo- metric data from multiple star clusters. After performing a simulation study to show the benefits of the Bayesian hierarchical model, we apply this model to five star clus- ters: the Hyades, M67, NGC 188, NGC 2168, and NGC 2477, leading to reasonable and consistent estimates of IFMRs for these clusters. We illustrate how a cluster-specific analysis of NGC 188 using its own photometric data can produce an unreasonable IFMR since its WDs have a narrow range of zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) masses. However, the Bayesian hierarchical model corrects the cluster-specific analysis by bor- rowing strength from other clusters, thus generating more reliable estimates of IFMR parameters. The data analysis presents the benefits of Bayesian hierarchical modelling over conventional cluster-specific methods, which motivates us to elaborate the pow- erful statistical techniques in this article.

title: The Poverty in USA: An In-Depth Analysis of the Last Two Decades
Creators: name: Negri, Sara
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Poverty is a global problem that affects not only the undeveloped states but also the most developed ones. This research paper will analyze this problem in depth, trying to summarize several definitions, several causes that can lead to an increase in the poverty rate, and policies implemented by the government in order to reduce the total number of poor people. The author analyzed the poverty rate in each state of the United States from 1990 to 2019 using a panel data analysis. She found out that California is the state with the highest value of poor people in the U.S. The independent variables analyzed in this paper are the unemployment rate, personal income, total number of residents, total number of violent crimes, and Gini coefficient.

At the end of our analysis, the author discovered that the total number of poor people is positively affected by population size, the total number of violent crimes, the Gini coefficient, and the unemployment rate (for relatively poor people only). In particular, the Gini coefficient has a standard error high, so it needs further studies. The last chapter will analyze the difference in poverty rate between the U.S. and Italy and possible causes that can explain the differences. The results show that the U.S. had a higher poverty rate than Italy from 1997 to 2019, and the author concludes with some suggestions to encourage further studies about the topic.

We consider invariance under the finite modular group $Γ_4 \simeq S_4$ and focus on the minimal scenario where the expectation value of the modulus is the only source of symmetry breaking, such that no flavons need to be introduced. After constructing a basis for the lowest weight modular forms, we build two minimal models, one of which successfully accommodates charged lepton masses and neutrino oscillation data, while predicting the values of the Dirac and Majorana CPV phases.

Investigation of the molecular mechanism of VGF-derived peptides in the pain pathway
Creators: name: Chen, Ya-Chun
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Pain is the major reason patients seek for medical care. Neuropathic pain is a form of chronic pain associated with neuropathy, which remains an area of considerable therapeutic need. The lack of effective therapeutic treatment for neuropathic pain is largely due to the fact that the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. Recent studies revealed vgf is the commonly upregulated gene in different animal models of neuropathic pain. In addition, VGF-derived peptides, TLQP-21, LQEQ-19 and TLQP-62 have recently been demonstrated to modulate pain pathways when applied in vivo. However, the precise underlying mechanisms of VGF-derived peptides in neuropathic pain and the molecular identity of the receptor for VGF-derived peptides have not yet been investigated. Here, I demonstrated that TLQP-21, but not LQEQ-19 nor TLQP-62, acts on the primary macrophage in a calcium-dependent and dose-dependent manner. The peptide induces release of calcium from the intracellular stores, and repetitive treatment of TLQP-21 desensitises the calcium response in macrophages. In addition, intraplantar injection of TLQP-21-treated macrophages to the rat hind paw is demonstrated to elicit mechanical hypersensitivity. I have also verified GC1qR, the globular heads of the C1q receptor, is the potential receptor for TLQP-21 on macrophages by neutralising antibody and siRNA knock-down techniques. Moreover, application of the GC1qR neutralising antibody to partial sciatic nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain is shown to potentially delay the onset of mechanical hypersensitivity in vivo. Furthermore, I demonstrated TLQP-21 treatment induces differential gene expression in the primary macrophages by microarray. The results presented in this thesis highlighted the importance of VGF-deriveid peptide, TLQP-21 and its receptor, GC1qR, in the neuropathic pain development through, at least partly, activation of macrophages. The findings furthered our current understanding of the peripheral mechanism of neuropathic pain development, thus suggesting new potential target, and shed lights, for new neuropathic pain analgesic development.

description: In this interview with Sheila Michaels, Patricia Smith discusses her family background and her involvement in the civil rights movement, especially with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Smith reminisces about the women who influenced her growing up, including her career-woman mother, her grandmother, and her older sister Carlene, who was her primary caregiver. Smith describes how her sister instilled in her a sense of mission, and helped her recognize the inequality in their hometown of New Orleans. She recounts an early childhood encounter with a white grocer. Smith reflects on the support she received from her high school, enabling her to miss classes and participate in protest activity while she was still a student. Smith discusses her attendance at the Louisiana Military Political Camp during her sophomore year. The camp, focused on government and organizing, admitted Black and white students but housed and trained them separately. Smith recalls her picket activity at Woolworth's and McCrory's, and details her rank and file role in this action. She discusses New Orleans' role as a stopping point for CORE activists and her role in coordinating housing for movement volunteers. Smith also discusses an incident in 1961 where she, Frank Nelson, and Alice Thompson were arrested, tried, and nearly lynched in Poplarville, Mississippi. They were there testing the Southern states' compliance with a ruling from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) that banned discrimination on buses. Smith also discusses her father's arrest and ninety-day prison sentence because of her and her sister's protest activity. Smith also speaks about her former husband Frank Nelson: the details of their wedding and his hunger strike after his arrest for testing Howard Johnson's and Holiday Inn's along the interstate highway

description: We investigate certain fixed points in the boundary conformal field theory representation of type IIA D-branes on Gepner points of K3. They correspond geometrically to degenerate brane configurations, and physically lead to enhanced gauge symmetries on the world-volume. Non-abelian gauge groups arise if the stabilizer group of the fixed points is realized projectively, which is similar to D-branes on orbifolds with discrete torsion. Moreover, the fixed point boundary states can be resolved into several irreducible components. These correspond to bound states at threshold and can be viewed as (non-locally free) sub-sheaves of semi-stable sheaves. Thus, the BCFT fixed points appear to carry two-fold geometrical information: on the one hand they probe the boundary of the instanton moduli space on K3, on the other hand they probe discrete torsion in D-geometry.

description: The BRST anomaly which may be present in the induced $W_n$ gravity quantized on the light-cone is evaluated in the geometrical framework of Zucchini. The cocycles linked by the cohomology of the BRST operator to the anomaly are straightforwardly calculated thanks to the analogy between this formulation and the Yang-Mills theory. We give also a conformally covariant formulation of these quantities including the anomaly, which is valid on arbitrary Riemann surfaces. The example of the $W_3$ theory is discussed and a comparison with other candidates for the anomaly available in the literature is presented.

description: Measurement is one of the key concepts which discriminates classical and quantum physics. Unlike classical systems, a measurement on a quantum system typically alters it drastically as a result of wave function collapse. Here we suggest that this feature can be exploited for inducing quench dynamics in a many-body system while leaving its Hamiltonian unchanged. Importantly, by doing away with dedicated macroscopic devices for inducing a quench -- using instead the indispensable measurement apparatus only -- the protocol is expected to be easier to implement and more resilient against decoherence. By way of various case studies, we show that our scheme also has decisive advantages beyond reducing decoherence -- for spectroscopy purposes and probing nonequilibrium scaling of critical and quantum impurity many-body systems.

description: We investigate Big Bang nucleosynthesis (hereafter, BBN) in a cosmic environment characterized by a distribution of small-scale matter/antimatter domains. Production of antimatter domains in a baryo-asymmetric universe is predicted in some electroweak baryogenesis scenarios. We find that cosmic antimatter domains of size exceeding the neutron-diffusion length at temperature T approx. 1 MeV significantly affect the light-element production. Annihilation of antimatter preferentially occurs on neutrons such that antimatter domains may yield a reduction of the He-4 abundance relative to a standard BBN scenario. In the limiting case, all neutrons will be removed before the onset of light-element production, and a universe with net baryon number but without production of light elements results. In general, antimatter domains spoil agreement between BBN abundance yields and observationally inferred primordial abundances limits which allows us to derive limits on their presence in the early universe. However, if only small amounts of antimatter are present, BBN with low deuterium and low He-4, as seemingly favored by current observational data, is possible.

description: The detailed observational analysis of a homologous Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave event is presented to study the driving mechanism and the physical property of the EUV waves, combining high resolution data taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory. It is observed that four homologous EUV waves originated from the same active region AR11476 within about one hour, and the time separations between consecutive waves were of 8 - 20 minutes. The waves showed narrow arc-shaped wavefronts and propagated in the same direction along a large-scale transequatorial loop system at a speed of 648 - 712 km/s and a deceleration of 0.985 - 1.219 km/s2. The EUV waves were accompanied by weak flares, coronal jets, and radio type III bursts, in which the EUV waves were delayed with respect to the start times of the radio type III bursts and coronal jets about 2 - 13 and 4 - 9 minutes, respectively. Different to previous studies of homologous EUV waves, no coronal mass ejections were found in the present event. Based on the observational results and the close temporal the spatial relationship between the EUV waves and the coronal jets, for the first time, we propose that the observed homologous EUV waves were large-amplitude nonlinear fast-mode magnetosonic waves or shocks driven by the associated recurrent coronal jets, resemble the generation mechanism of a piston shock in a tube. In addition, it is found that the recurrent jets were tightly associated with the alternating flux cancellation and emergence in the eruption source region and radio type III bursts.

description: Data integration is often performed to consolidate information from multiple disparate data sources during visual data analysis. However, integration operations are usually separate from visual analytics operations such as encode and filter in both interface design and empirical research. We conducted a preliminary user study to investigate whether and how data integration should be incorporated directly into the visual analytics process. We used two interface alternatives featuring contrasting approaches to the data preparation and analysis workflow: manual file-based ex-situ integration as a separate step from visual analytics operations; and automatic UI-based in-situ integration merged with visual analytics operations. Participants were asked to complete specific and free-form tasks with each interface, browsing for patterns, generating insights, and summarizing relationships between attributes distributed across multiple files. Analyzing participants' interactions and feedback, we found both task completion time and total interactions to be similar across interfaces and tasks, as well as unique integration strategies between interfaces and emergent behaviors related to satisficing and cognitive bias. Participants' time spent and interactions revealed that in-situ integration enabled users to spend more time on analysis tasks compared with ex-situ integration. Participants' integration strategies and analytical behaviors revealed differences in interface usage for generating and tracking hypotheses and insights. With these results, we synthesized preliminary guidelines for designing future visual analytics interfaces that can support integrating attributes throughout an active analysis process.

description: Recent growth in the popularity of large language models has led to their increased usage for summarizing, predicting, and generating text, making it vital to help researchers and engineers understand how and why they work. We present KnowledgeVis, a human-in-the-loop visual analytics system for interpreting language models using fill-in-the-blank sentences as prompts. By comparing predictions between sentences, KnowledgeVis reveals learned associations that intuitively connect what language models learn during training to natural language tasks downstream, helping users create and test multiple prompt variations, analyze predicted words using a novel semantic clustering technique, and discover insights using interactive visualizations. Collectively, these visualizations help users identify the likelihood and uniqueness of individual predictions, compare sets of predictions between prompts, and summarize patterns and relationships between predictions across all prompts. We demonstrate the capabilities of KnowledgeVis with feedback from six NLP experts as well as three different use cases: (1) probing biomedical knowledge in two domain-adapted models; and (2) evaluating harmful identity stereotypes and (3) discovering facts and relationships between three general-purpose models.
