description: We propose a simple but effective mechanism to realize an inflationary early universe consistent with the observed WMAP, Planck and/or BICEP2 data, which would be incorporated in various supersymmetric models of elementary particles constructed in the (effective) five-dimensional spacetime. In our scenario, the inflaton field is identified with one of the moduli appearing when the fifth direction is compactified, and a successful cosmological inflation without the so-called eta problem can be achieved by a very simple moduli stabilization potential. We also discuss the related particle cosmology during and (just) after the inflation, such as the (no) cosmological moduli problem.

Microscopic Estimation of Freeway Vehicle Positions from the Behaviors of Connected Vehicles
Publisher: name: University of Virginia
Year: 2012

description: The modern passenger vehicle is an incredibly sophisticated machine, with computer monitoring and control of most of its functions, including speed, acceleration, heading, and GPS-enabled position. Vehicles are beginning to communicate these data wirelessly to other vehicles and to roadside equipment. These communicating “probe” vehicles will drastically impact the way traffic is managed, allowing for more responsive traffic signals, more comprehensive traffic information, and more accurate travel time prediction. Research suggests that to begin experiencing these benefits, at least 20% of vehicles must act as probes, with benefits increasing with higher participation rates. Because of bandwidth limitations of and slow rollout of the technology, only a portion of vehicles on the roadway will be able to act as probes. Fortunately, the behavior of these probe vehicles may suggest the locations of nearby non-probe vehicles, thereby artificially augmenting the penetration rate and generating greater benefits. We propose an algorithm to predict the location of non-communicating vehicles based on the behaviors of nearby probe vehicles. By employing driver behavior models and rolling estimation techniques, the algorithm is able to predict the locations of 30% of vehicles with 9-meter accuracy when only 10% of vehicles are communicating, theoretically leading to immediate improvements in many probe vehicle applications.

description: The Orion-Eridanus superbubble, formed by the nearby Orion high mass star-forming region, contains multiple bright H$α$ filaments on the Eridanus side of the superbubble. We examine the implications of the H$α$ brightnesses and sizes of these filaments, the Eridanus filaments. We find that either the filaments must be highly elongated along the line of sight or they cannot be equilibrium structures illuminated solely by the Orion star-forming region. The Eridanus filaments may, instead, have formed when the Orion-Eridanus superbubble encountered and compressed a pre-existing, ionized gas cloud, such that the filaments are now out of equilibrium and slowly recombining.

description: Hollow fiber membrane contactors have emerged as an attractive and promising technology for post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture by contacting exhaust gas with amines. This study focuses on investigating the performance of a modularized PTFE hollow fiber membrane contactor developed by Ionada. Comparative analyses were conducted between Ionada's technology and a traditional packed bed column. Results from simulations indicate a remarkable 20% reduction in solvent regeneration requirement and a 28% decrease in amine losses when employing Ionada's contactor, while maintaining the same operating conditions and target CO2 removal as the packed bed column. Consequently, these findings translate into substantial operational cost savings for carbon capture processes. The simulation results were validated through experimental runs, revealing an average absolute deviation of only 4% when comparing CO2 mass flux. Furthermore, the technology exhibits scalability, as an increase in the number of modules allows for the treatment of flue gas streams with higher flowrates without necessitating a complete unit change. Notably, scaling up the system correspondingly enhances absorption efficiency.

description: Our vision for AISP Innovation is to facilitate a network of jurisdictions and evaluators from across the United States in working together to further a culture of evidence-based decision making in government. This document proposes a series of technology solutions that help achieve this vision. The purpose of this document is to inform any site who might want to develop such a system. We recommend that jurisdictions seeking to develop this solution either join the AISP effort or work as a coordinating entity for a shared infrastructure. We pay particular attention to system workflow and technology components, but ultimately, our aim is to provide enough information for a developer to offer their own technology solutions to our proposed model.
Separable solutions of force-free spheres and applications to solar active regions

description: In this paper, we present a systematic study of the force-free field equation for simple axisymmetric configurations in spherical geometry and apply it to the solar active regions. The condition of separability of solutions in the radial and angular variables leads to two classes of solutions: linear and nonlinear force-free fields. We have studied these linear solutions and extended the nonlinear solutions for the radial power law index to the irreducible rational form $n= p/q$, which is allowed for all cases of odd $p$ and cases of $q>p$ for even $p$, where the poloidal flux $ψ\propto1/r^n$ and field $\mathbf{B}\propto 1/r^{n+2}$). We apply these solutions to simulate photospheric vector magnetograms obtained using the spectropolarimeter on board Hinode. The effectiveness of our search strategy is first demonstrated on test inputs of dipolar, axisymmetric,and non axisymmetric linear force-free fields. Using the best-fit to these magnetograms, we build three-dimensional axisymmetric field configurations and calculate the energy and relative helicity with two independent methods, which are in agreement. We have analyzed five magnetograms for AR 10930 spanning a period of three days during which two X-class flares occurred which allowed us to find the free energy and relative helicity of the active region before and after the flare; our analysis indicates a peak in these quantities before the flare events which is consistent with the results mentioned in literature. We also analyzed single-polarity regions AR 10923 and 10933, which showed very good fits with potential fields. This method can provide useful reconstruction of the nonlinear force-free (NLFF) fields as well as reasonably good input fields for other numerical techniques.

Epidemiology and management of Chronic Venous Disease in the UK
Creators: name: Salim, Safa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Clinician perspectives, and high-quality clinical practice guidelines, are concordant in how best to manage Chronic Venous Disease (CVD); but there are concerns that the implementation of best practice is failing. To improve venous service provision, an evaluation of current management practices is needed, alongside epidemiological studies which help to understand trends in disease frequency, causation, and natural history. Methods: National datasets composed of electronic healthcare records (EHR) were used to evaluate the epidemiology and management of CVD. Datasets included Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), UK Biobank (UKB) and Whole Systems Integrated Care (WSIC). Analytics were performed using statistical methods and unsupervised machine learning methods. Results: CVD has an annual period prevalence of 5-6%; this is 2% for symptomatic Varicose Veins (C2), and 0.65% for Venous ulceration (C6). Between 2008-2018, the incidence of C2 has remained consistent (300 per 100,000 person years) whilst the incidence of C6 has decreased from 106 to 90 per 100,000 person years. There are seasonal and regional variations in these trends. Primary care management of CVD appears to have improved during this time, whilst secondary care treatment has deteriorated. Clinical progression of CVD occurs in approximately 12% of individuals with 28% of C6 patients experiencing ulcer recurrence. CVD is associated with advanced age, obesity, deprivation, frailty, and female gender; although progression to ulceration is more likely to occur in males and in white ethnic groups. CVD patients require more healthcare resources, and C6 is associated with a poorer quality and quantity of life. Conclusion: EHRs assist in understanding CVD epidemiology and identifying areas for improving service provision. EHRs can be hypothesis generating when evaluating factors associated with CVD, but the causal inference is difficult to ascertain. There is scope to optimise the efficiency and usability of EHRs.

Traffic Signal Control with Connected Vehicles
Publisher: name: Transportation Research Board
Year: 2013

description: The operation of traffic signals is currently limited by the data available from traditional point sensors. Point detectors, often in-ground inductive loop sensors, can provide only limited vehicle information at a fixed location. The most advanced adaptive control strategies are often not implemented in the field due to their operational complexity and high-resolution detection requirements. However, a new initiative known as connected vehicles would allow for the wireless transmission of vehicles’ positions, headings, and speeds to be used by the traffic controller. A new traffic control algorithm, the predictive microscopic simulation algorithm (PMSA), was developed in this research to utilize these new, more robust data. The decentralized, fully adaptive traffic control algorithm uses a rolling horizon strategy, where the phasing is chosen to optimize an objective function over a 15-second period in the future. The objective function uses either delay-only, or a combination of delay, stops, and decelerations. To measure the objective function, the algorithm uses a microscopic simulation driven by present vehicle positions, headings, and speeds. Unlike most adaptive control strategies, the algorithm is relatively simple, does not require point detectors or signal-to-signal communication, and is completely responsive to immediate vehicle demands. To ensure drivers’ privacy, the algorithm stores no memory of individual or aggregate vehicle locations. Results from simulation show that the algorithm maintains or improves performance compared to a state-of-practice coordinated-actuated timing plan optimized by Synchro at low- and mid-level volumes, but performance worsens during saturated and oversaturated conditions. Testing also showed improved performance during periods of unexpected high demand and the ability to automatically respond to year-to-year growth without retiming.

description: Ionada’s patented carbon capture technology utilizes microporous hollow fibres membrane contactors (HFMC). Ionada's membrane absorption technology maximizes the benefits of HFMCs by simply passing an absorbent liquid through the lumen side of the hollow fiber membranes with a pressure difference across the membranes. This is a promising alternative to the conventional packed bed technologies, mainly due to the high specific surface area (the ratio of gas-liquid contact area to the contactor’s volume) provided by membranes.A thorough parametric research study was conducted to understand the principles of HFMCs and develop a simulation model for the Ionada membrane contactor. Simulation work was completed with partners SINTEF and BRE in the simulation model development. An experimental test system at Haliburton was utilized to obtain physical data to correlate simulation modeling.The advantages of HFMC mentioned in literature were observed as the results obtained prove Ionada’s innovative HFMC offers a significantly higher surface area per unit volume, with faster mass transfer rates.The results demonstrate HFMC performance, price and ease of operation benefits over traditional column packing for carbon capture.

Heterogeneity and early diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma
Creators: name: Zhang, Yu Zhi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Background: Diffuse pleural mesothelioma is a thoracic malignancy associated with aggressive clinical behaviour and a lack of treatment options. It is hypothesised that the diverse spectrum of observed clinical and biological characteristics in the literature could be explained by inter-tumoural and intra-tumoural heterogeneity. Consequently there is scope to improve the contemporary classification of these tumours, especially a subset of those representing minimally or superficially invasive pleural mesothelioma, allowing the disease to be diagnosed earlier in its natural history. Materials and methods: Using a number of databases (including an institutional mesothelioma database that I retrospectively curated and prospectively maintained) and datasets linked to the diagnostic practice at an academic centre over a period of 30 years, the clinical, histopathological and molecular characteristics of pleural mesothelioma were interrogated via a multidisciplinary approach. The emphasis of the approach was on the outcomes following multimodality therapy including radical surgery, histological heterogeneity of epithelioid pleural mesothelioma and proposal of a minimal sampling requirement, histology-molecular correlation of key genomic alterations, and the development of a risk stratification system for atypical mesothelial proliferation of the pleura. Results: The histological subtype of mesothelioma predicted outcome following multimodality therapy and influenced key surgical and oncological parameters. It was also determined that the epithelioid subtype, the most common subtype of mesothelioma, can be classified using a nuclear grading system based on the morphology of tumour cell nucleus, mitotic activity and the presence of tumour necrosis. This can be reliably performed on biopsies provided the minimum sampling requirement is met. Epithelioid mesothelioma exhibits extensive heterogeneity in architectural growth patterns and cytological features, although most of which is a function of nuclear grade. A morphology-based classification stratified atypical mesothelial proliferation into high risk and low risk categories, the latter demonstrating significantly superior survival outcomes and supports the hypothesised existence of a minimally invasive stage of pleural mesothelioma. Conclusions: This thesis expands the evidence base in several aspects central to the future iterations of mesothelioma classification and highlights the importance of accurate and informative histopathological diagnosis in its multidisciplinary management. Furthermore, the findings lay a cornerstone to the establishment of future academic-clinical partnerships, of multi-dimensional and multi-parametric nature, integrating the expertise of fundamental science, clinical specialities and histopathology in the research of this disease.
You’re My Scum Sweetheart: Audio Adrenaline, Contemporary Christian Music,  and White Jesus
Publisher: name: University of Virginia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Contemporary Christian Music

description: The two decades on either side of the turn of the 21st century in the United States have in large part been politically defined by white evangelicalism. This political power depended on mass mobilization of people, and evangelical teenage pop culture was an important part of this mobilization. 

This thesis examines the music and mission of evangelical Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline to explore how the Christian music industry, although releasing music that appeared to be race neutral, was actually used to turn evangelical millennials into white culture warriors and saviors. At a time when white evangelicals were using the court system, ballot box, and churches to actively fight a culture war in order to consolidate white conservative political power, promoting an evangelical Jesus meant promoting whiteness. 

A close reading of lyrics and album themes, as well as analysis of a 40 year relationship between the band and the nation of Haiti reveals how the culture of the times and the power dynamics of the Christian music industry establish dominant white cultural boundaries around faith. The albums created by Audio Adrenaline contain lyrics that are permeated by references to colonialism, wealth, power, innocence, and a defiant sense of persecution. The Jesus they describe often seems to resemble a white American god, and the lack of awareness about this means that despite claims to being counter-cultural, this music maintains the status quo of a white supremacist society. The disparity between the intention to promote the Jesus of the Bible and the impact of doing so in an industry designed to promote whiteness might help explain why today evangelical membership is declining, while the problems caused by white supremacy are not.

description: This thesis demonstrates how and to what effect social structures of religiosity and economy coexist and coalesce at Tirupati Temple, a popular pilgrimage and tourism centre in South India. The Temple functions as a sanctum for both ritual devotion and touristic pleasures; accordingly, networks of commerce and commodities interlace with structure of piety and ritual. This thesis illustrates how the Temple’s enduring religious traditions are facilitated by modern capitalist logistics, and the resulting processes of commodification offer new meaning to the participants of this site. For example, in e-commerce platforms for religious donation, pre-booked tickets for pilgrimage, and sanctification of hotel chains. The unity of religion and market seems, at first, uncomfortable and often raises questions of authenticity and integrity in sites of religious and touristic appeal. To respond to this widely discussed tension, this thesis offers ethnographic analysis based on participant observation and unstructured interviews in Tirupati Temple and its urban surrounds. These empirical findings show how the mass performances of ritual piety in the Temple is underscored by the protocols of modern global capitalism such as standardised arrangements of time, space, and demand. I offer an empirical perspective on theorised analytical categories which are often dichotomised in scholarly literature, such as that between ‘economic’ and ‘non-economic’; this broad category is embodied within those such as ‘pilgrimage’ and ‘tourism’, ‘gift’ and ‘commodity’, and ‘sacred’ and ‘commercial’. In Tirupati, these categories work in interdependence to embody the meaning-making experience of the Temple’s visitors and facilitate the religiosity of the masses. With a contemporary empirical understanding Tirupati’s religious and touristic functions, this thesis demonstrates close inter-relations between culture and economy which are essential in the nuanced understanding of modern social systems.

description: In elite professional firms, minorities are actively recruited but struggle to move upward.  We argue that initiatives aimed at general skill development can have unintended consequences for firm diversity.  Specifically, we contend that approaches that win partner support through motivational significance and interpretive clarity will provide a more effective avenue to skill development for minorities, who have less access than whites to informal developmental opportunities.  We also argue that a longer “partnership track,” which imposes a time limit on skill development, will benefit minority professionals.   Using data on 600 offices of large U.S. law firms in 1996 and 2005, we investigate the effects of five developmental initiatives and partnership track length on the representation of African-Americans, Latinxs, and Asian-Americans among partners.  Observed effects are consistent with expectations, but patterns vary across racial-ethnic groups.

description: We discuss anomalous decoherence effects at zero and finite temperatures in driven coupled quantum spin systems. By numerical simulations of the quantum master equation, it is found that the entanglement of two coupled spin qubits exhibits a non-monotonic behaviour as a function of the noise strength. The effects of noise strength, the detuning and finite temperature of independent environments on the steady state entanglement are addressed in detail. Pumped by an external field drive, non-trivial steady states can be found, the steady state entanglement increases monotonically up to a maximum at certain optimal noise strength and decreases steadily for higher values. Furthermore, increasing the detuning can not only induce but also suppress steady state entanglement, which depends on the value of noise strength. At last, we delimit the border between presence or absence of steady state entanglement and discuss the related experimental temperatures where typical biomolecular systems exhibit long-lived coherences and quantum entanglement in photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes.

description: In this paper we mathematically characterize through a Lie formalism the local errors induced by operator splitting when solving nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations, especially in the non-asymptotic regime. The non-asymptotic regime is often attained in practice when the splitting time step is much larger than some of the scales associated with either source terms or the diffusion operator when large gradients are present. In a series of previous works a reduction of the asymptotic orders for a range of large splitting time steps related to very short time scales in the nonlinear source term has been studied, as well as that associated with large gradients but for linearized equations. This study provides a key theoretical step forward since it characterizes the numerical behavior of splitting errors within a more general nonlinear framework, for which new error estimates can be derived by coupling Lie formalism and regularizing effects of the heat equation. The validity of these theoretical results is then assessed in the framework of two numerical applications, a KPP-type reaction wave where the influence of stiffness on local error estimates can be thoroughly investigated; and a much more complex problem, related to premixed flame dynamics in the low Mach number regime with complex chemistry and detailed transport, for which the present theoretical study shows to provide relevant insights.

description: Abstract Genetic science has provided new knowledge that has the potential to reduce ‘race’ discrimination. This includes findings that around 95% of human genetic variability is present within any population; and that most human traits are influenced by a complex combination of many genetic and environmental factors. Despite this knowledge, racially discriminatory practices persist internationally, including segregation; unfair sentencing; state surveillance of children; and involuntary sterilisation. Moreover, there is an emerging risk that DNA may be used to propel harmful discriminatory practices. For example, new ‘DNA-based’ groups may emerge in the context of polygenic prediction – aggregating multiple genetic risks into individuals’ combined risk indexes. Such DNA-based groups could be viewed as ‘new races’ - adding yet another category to the already heterogenous definition of ‘race’. This paper reviews the genetic advances directly relevant to, and their impact on, ‘race’ and other group discrimination; and assesses current UK and international discrimination practices and effectiveness of the laws in place prior to and in the genomic era. The paper concludes that current laws provide insufficient protection from ‘race’ and other group discrimination and still reflect people’s beliefs in entrenched differences between ‘races’. The paper asserts that the very use of the term ‘race’ in equality legislation is problematic due to inconsistencies in definition across key legislations; and history of its association with domination. Justice systems must update laws to reflect current genetic knowledge and to address existing and emerging risks of discrimination.

description: Accurate rotation-vibration line lists for two molecules, NaCl and KCl, in their ground electronic states are presented. These line lists are suitable for temperatures relevant to exoplanetary atmospheres and cool stars (up to 3000 K). Isotopologues $^{23}$Na$^{35}$Cl, $^{23}$Na$^{37}$Cl, $^{39}$K$^{35}$Cl, $^{39}$K$^{37}$Cl, $^{41}$K$^{35}$Cl and $^{41}$K$^{37}$Cl are considered. Laboratory data was used to refine ab initio potential energy curves in order to compute accurate ro-vibrational energy levels. Einstein A coefficients are generated using newly determined ab initio dipole moment curves calculated using the CCSD(T) method. New Dunham Y$_{ij}$ constants for KCl are generated by a reanalysis of a published Fourier transform infrared emission spectra. Partition functions plus full line lists of ro-vibration transitions are made available in an electronic form as supplementary data to this article and at www.exomol.com.

Two-photon spectroscopy for high-efficiency quantum ratchet solar cells
Creators: name: Hughes, Kenneth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis, experimental work on two quantum-ratchet intermediate band solar cell (QR-IBSC) devices is presented, the results of which represent significant progress in the development high-efficiency solar photovoltaics (PV). An original quantitative analysis of the need for such high-efficiency PV is also presented. The QR-IBSC implements an irreversible separation of electrons and holes to reduce non-radiative recombination [1]. In this work, this is achieved by spatial separation of electrons and holes using a nanostructure of doped GaAs layers to form a quantum well superlattice in the i-region of a p-i-n junction. The QR-IBSC was first experimentally demonstrated to work by Vaquero-Stainer et al in 2018 [2]. The work presented in this thesis is a direct continuation of the experimental work done by Vaquero-Stainer et al [2]. The first new sample – the Strong Field device – was found to successfully increase the resistance of the two-photon photocurrent against saturation at high interband pulse energies by a factor of ∼10 (∼4 nJ vs. ∼0.3 nJ [2]). The second new sample – the High Barrier device – significantly increased intermediate-state lifetimes by a factor of ∼1 × 10^7 over those in [2] at low temperatures, leading to observation of a two-photon photocurrent at room temperature. This is the first evidence of such long intermediate lifetimes, and of sequential absorption of two sub-bandgap photons in an IBSC at room temperature using a double-demodulation technique. These results, in particular the long lifetime and high-temperature operation of the sequential absorption mechanism, represent significant progress on the path towards real-world operation of the QR-IBSC.

description: We analyze the renormalization group flow in a recently constructed class of integrable sigma-models which interpolate between WZW current algebra models and the non-Abelian T-duals of PCM for a simple group G. They are characterized by the integer level k of the current algebra, a deformation parameter lambda and they exhibit a remarkable invariance involving the inversion of lambda. We compute the beta-function for lambda to leading order in 1/k. Based on agreement with previous results for the exact beta-function of the non-Abelian bosonized Thirring model and matching global symmetries, we state that our integrable models are the resummed version (capturing all counterterms in perturbation theory) of the non-Abelian bosonized Thirring model for a simple group G. Finally, we present an analogous treatment in a simple example of a closely related class of models interpolating between gauged WZW coset CFTs and the non-Abelian T-duals of PCM for the coset G/H.

description: The study provides new function tested on labetalol in large infusion volumes (Vinf = 80-115 µL) via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, tandem MS2–MS7 operation modes and collision energy: 0, 0.1, 10, 20, 25, 26, 30 and 35 eV, respectively. It is derived from the stochastic dynamic mass spectrometric equation D”SD = 2.6388.10-17.(2>-2), which exactly quantifies analyte concentration in solution. Also, it determines 3D conformations and electronic structures. The description of mass spectrometric intensity data as random variables and the shown relation, there are written two new linear functions among D”SD parameters, average total intensity values of fragmentation peaks, infusion volume, and collision energy. They introduce covariance of datasets of variables per short span of scan time of ions in any experimental conditions “l” and “m”. They are: D”SD;m,l = D”SD,l + D”SD,m + 5.2776.10-17.{l.Im>–l>.m>}≈l>+m> and l>+m>≈|rl,m|.sd(yEr±)1.sd(yEr±)m. Those relations yields to new formula D”SD,l+ D”SD,m = |rl,m|.sd(yEr±)l.sd(yEr±)m, providing exact function of mass spectrometric variable intensity of any peaks of analyte ion in any two sets of experimental conditions of measurements and diffusion parameters according to the first formula. Correlation between theory and experiment of fragmentation processes of labetalol shows |r|=1–0.99999. Chemometrics is used.

description: How important is information disclosure through patents for subsequent innovation? To answer this question, we examine the expansion of the USPTO Patent Library system after 1975. Before the Internet, patent libraries gave inventors access to patent documents. We find that after patent library opening, local patenting increases by 17% relative to control regions. Additional analyses suggest that the disclosure of technical information is the mechanism underlying this effect: inventors start to cite more distant prior art and the effect ceases after the introduction of the Internet. Our analyses thus provide evidence that disclosure plays an important role in cumulative innovation.

Origin of the peculiar eccentricity distribution of the inner cold Kuiper belt

description: Dawson and Murray-Clay (2012) pointed out that the inner part of the cold population in the Kuiper belt (that with semi major axis a<43.5 AU) has orbital eccentricities significantly smaller than the limit imposed by stability constraints. Here, we confirm their result by looking at the orbital distribution and stability properties in proper element space. We show that the observed distribution could have been produced by the slow sweeping of the 4/7 mean motion resonance with Neptune that accompanied the end of Neptune's migration process. The orbital distribution of the hot Kuiper belt is not significantly affected in this process, for the reasons discussed in the main text. Therefore, the peculiar eccentricity distribution of the inner cold population can not be unequivocally interpreted as evidence that the cold population formed in-situ and was only moderately excited in eccentricity; it can simply be the signature of Neptune's radial motion, starting from a moderately eccentric orbit. We discuss how this agrees with a scenario of giant planet evolution following a dynamical instability and, possibly, with the radial transport of the cold population.
