description: Modular integrated construction (MiC) is an innovative construction approach which transforms the fragmented linear site-based construction of buildings into an integrated production and assembly of value-added prefabricated prefinished modules. As MiC has gained attention in the construction industry, more in-depth knowledge of the critical success factors (CSFs) for implementing MiC projects is imperative. This research reviewed studies on the CSFs for implementing MiC projects during the period 1993–2019. Analysis showed that the US, UK, Malaysia, Australia, and Hong Kong are the largest contributors to the MiC CSFs studies. Further analysis generated 35 CSFs for implementing MiC projects. Of these, the six most cited CSFs shared between countries and MiC projects include good working collaboration and effective communication among project participants; effective supply chain management; accurate design and early design freeze; involvement of key project participants throughout the project; suitable procurement strategy and contracting; and standardization & benchmarking of best practices. These shared CSFs can be used to develop decision support systems, enabling the prediction of project success. The developed checklists and conceptual model of the CSFs could help to guide and improve the successful implementation of MiC projects and may form a useful basis for future empirical studies.

description: We present WSRT observations of the neutral hydrogen in the nearby radio galaxy B2 0648+27. In emission, we detect a very large amount of HI (M_HI = 1.1 x 10^10 M_sun) that is distributed in a very extended disk, or ring-like structure, of about 160 kpc in size. We also detect HI absorption against the central radio continuum component. The detection of the HI, its structure and kinematics, give us key information for building a possible evolutionary scenario. The characteristics of the detected HI are explained as the result of a major merger event that is likely to have occurred <10^9 yr ago. Interestinly, we find that, when observed in radio continuum at higher resolution, this galaxy has a double lobed, steep spectrum structure of about 1 kpc in size. Thus, despite its low radio power, B2 0648+27 bears striking similarities with Compact Symmetric Objects, i.e. objects believed to represent the early phase of radio galaxies (< few thousand yrs old). B2~0648+27 is one of the few nearby radio galaxies where extended neutral hydrogen has been detected so far. This, and other recent results, appear however to indicate that nearby radio galaxies are more often gas rich than commonly assumed. The phenomena described are likely to be much more common at high redshift and galaxies like B2 0648+27 may provide valuable information on the evolution of high redshift radio sources.

Making Many-Body Interactions Nearly Pairwise Additive: The Polarized Many-Body Expansion Approach

description: The Many-Body Expansion (MBE) is a useful tool to simulate condensed phase chemical systems, often avoiding the steep computational cost of usual electronic structure methods. However, it often requires higher than 2-body terms to achieve quantitative accuracy. In this work, we propose the Polarized MBE (PolBE) method where each MBE energy contribution is treated as an embedding problem. In each energy term, a smaller fragment is embedded into a larger, polarized environment and only a small region is treated at the high-level of theory using embedded mean-field theory. The role of polarized environment was found to be crucial in providing quantitative accuracy at the 2-body level. PolBE accurately predicts non-covalent interaction energies for a number of systems, including CO$_2$, water, and hydrated ion clusters, with a variety of interaction mechanisms, from weak dispersion to strong electrostatics considered in this work. We further demonstrate that the PolBE interaction energy is predominantly pairwise unlike the usual vacuum MBE which requires higher-order terms to achieve similar accuracy. We numerically show that PolBE often performs better than other widely used embedded MBE methods such as the electrostatically embedded MBE. Owing to the lack of expensive diagonalization of Fock matrices and its embarrassingly parallel nature, PolBE is a promising way to access condensed phase systems with hybrid density functionals that are difficult to treat with currently available methods.

description: We have constructed a very deep K'-selected multicolor BVRIz'JK' sample of 439 field galaxies. Photometric redshifts for sample galaxies were estimated. The overall redshift distribution N(z) for the K'<21.0 sample is consistent with previous observations, and for the first time we derive the N(z) down to K'=24.0. After taking account of the dust extinction and selection effects of the sample, the observed N(z) distribution is well described with the PLE model, while the hierarchical galaxy formation model shows an apparent deficiency of galaxies especially at z>2. The photometric redshift and the best-fit SED model evaluations allow the derivation of the rest-frame K', B, and UV(2000A) luminosity functions (LFs) and their evolutions. The rest-K' LF shows almost no evolution up to z=3, while the rest B LF shows mild luminosity evolution, and the rest UV LF shows strong luminosity evolution. This trend corresponds to the evolution of the rest UV-K' color, which gets bluer with increasing redshift. We also found that more massive galaxies are redder in this rest-frame color in every epoch. The rest-UV LF of our K'-selected galaxies shows a much shallower faint end slope at z=3 than that of previous estimations for rest-UV selected Lyman break galaxies. As a consequence, the contribution to the global star formation rate of our K'-selected galaxies is about 42% of that derived from the integration of LF of Lyman break galaxies at z=3. This result suggests that a large fraction of the star formation rate density at z>1.5 comes from the contribution from the faint (M_2000A>-20) blue galaxy population at high redshift universe that have not yet obviously been identified.

Adiabatic electron charge transfer between two quantum dots in presence of 1/f noise

description: Controlled adiabatic transfer of a single electron through a chain of quantum dots has been recently achieved in GaAs and Si/SiGe based quantum dots, opening prospects for turning stationary spin qubits into mobile ones, and solving in this way the problem of long-distance communication between quantum registers in a scalable quantum computing architecture based on quantum dots. We consider theoretically the process of such an electron transfer between two tunnel-coupled quantum dots, focusing on control by slowly varying the detuning of energy levels in the dots. We take into account the fluctuations in detuning caused by $1/f$-type noise that is ubiquitous in semiconductor nanostructures, and analyze their influence on probability of successful transfer of an electron in a spin eigenstate. With numerical and analytical calculations we show that probability of electron not being transferred due to $1/f^β$ noise in detuning is $\propto σ^2 t^{β-1}/v$, where $σ$ characterizes the noise amplitude, $t$ is the interdot tunnel coupling, and $v$ is the detuning sweep rate. Interestingly, this means that the noise-induced errors in charge transfer are independent of $t$ for $1/f$ noise. For realistic parameters taken from experiments on silicon-based quantum dots, we obtain the minimal probability of charge transfer failure between a pair of dots is limited by $1/f$ noise in detuning to be the on order of $0.01$. This means that in order to reliably transfer charges across many quantum dots, charge noise in the devices should be further suppressed, or tunnel couplings should be increased, in order to allow for faster transfer (and less exposure to noise), while not triggering the deterministic Landau-Zener excitation.

description: The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[α] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $α$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[α]$ in terms of the functions induced by their coordinate polynomials ($f_1,f_2\in R[x]$, where $f=f_1+αf_2$) and their formal derivatives on $R$. We derive explicit formulas for the number of polynomial functions and the number of polynomial permutations on $\mathbb{Z}_{p^n}[α]$ for $n\le p$ ($p$ prime).

description: The earlier-described cluster methods are used to generalize the Ginzburg-Landau gradient expansion for the free energy of an inhomogeneous alloy to the case of not small values of order parameters and variations of composition. The results obtained reveale a number of important differences with the expressions used in the phenomenological phase-field approach. Differential equations relating the local values of concentration and order parameters within the antiphase or interphase boundary (APB or IPB) are derived. These equations are applied to study the segregation at APBs near the phase transition lines; the structure of APBs and IPBs near tricritical points; pre-wetting and wetting APBs in phases with single and several order parameters; and also some effects of anisotropy of APBs under L1$_0$ and L1$_2$-type orderings.

description: The development of policies promoting smart meter adoption is essential to guide the transition towards sustainable use of resources such as water, electricity and gas, as well as inform smart-city initiatives. This article explores household preferences in terms of different smart meters and identifies the amounts that households are willing to pay for different smart meter configurations to monitor electricity, water and gas based on the features of their home including dwelling type, size and property value. To this aim, we employ a mixed multinomial logit model that accounts for the heterogeneity in customers’ preferences for different smart meters. As a proof of concept, the proposed model is applied to a survey incorporating a discrete choice experiment carried out with 232 respondents in the Florianopolis metropolitan region, located in the south of Brazil. Our approach offers a number of advantages to facilitate the broader implementation of smart grid systems that would otherwise be overlooked using traditional approaches that rely on aggregated estimates for demand and willingness to pay for proposed schemes.

Here we discuss how capturing the postures of animals - pose estimation - has been rapidly advancing with new deep learning methods. While challenges still remain, we envision that the fast-paced development of new deep learning tools will rapidly change the landscape of realizable real-world neuroscience.

description: We evolve a scalar field in a fixed Kerr-Schild background geometry to test simple $(3+1)$-dimensional algorithms for singularity excision. We compare both centered and upwind schemes for handling the shift (advection) terms, as well as different approaches for implementing the excision boundary conditions, for both static and boosted black holes. By first determining the scalar field evolution in a static frame with a $(1+1)$-dimensional code, we obtain the solution to very high precision. This solution then provides a useful testbed for simulations in full $(3+1)$ dimensions. We show that some algorithms which are stable for non-boosted black holes become unstable when the boost velocity becomes high.

description: At universities worldwide, creating a ‘smart campus’ is gaining significance. This is a response to the increasingly dynamic use of the campus and the pressure on resources: energy, financial and human resources. The university community has become more mobile, student numbers more unpredictable and funding more uncertain. Consequently, campus strategies focus on resource efficiency and sharing space, requiring investment in management information to improve decision making. The Internet of Things (IoT) can help to provide big data about use patterns: by collecting real-time data on space utilization, users can make better use of current spaces and real estate managers can make better decisions about long-term demand. Furthermore, space utilisation data can be complemented with user feedback data and environmental variables, e.g. noise levels, luminance. In this research we identify the capabilities of existing IoT applications through a literature study. Literature also suggests that information from IoT applications is not utilized in organisational decision-making processes. Through four case studies we analyse these decision-making processes and identify the process-level requirements to make strategic decisions in campus management. Then we show how information from the IoT can be directly connected to these processes, thus providing a valuable addition of real-time data as input.

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.

description: Complex polar structures of incommensurate modulations (ICMs) are revealed in chemically modified PbZrO$_3$ perovskite antiferroelectrics using advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques. The Pb-cation displacements, previously assumed to arrange in a fully-compensated antiparallel fashion, are found to be either antiparallel but with different magnitudes, or in a nearly orthogonal arrangement in adjacent stripes in the ICMs. Ab initio calculations corroborate the low-energy state of these arrangements. Our discovery corrects the atomic understanding of ICMs in PbZrO$_3$-based perovskite antiferroelectrics.

description: We discuss physical properties of strongly correlated electron states for a linear chain obtained with the help of the recently proposed new method combining the exact diagonalization in the Fock space with an ab initio readjustment of the single-particle orbitals in the correlated state. The method extends the current discussion of the correlated states since the properties are obtained with varying lattice spacing. The finite system of N atoms evolves with the increasing interatomic distance from a Fermi-liquid-like state into the Mott insulator. The criteria of the localization are discussed in detail since the results are already convergent for N>=8. During this process the Fermi-Dirac distribution gets smeared out, the effective band mass increases by ~50%, and the spin-spin correlation functions reduce to those for the Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Values of the microscopic parameters such as the hopping and the kinetic-exchange integrals, as well as the magnitude of both intra- and inter-atomic Coulomb and exchange interactions are calculated. We also determine the values of various local electron-lattice couplings and show that they are comparable to the kinetic exchange contribution in the strong-correlation limit. The magnitudes of the dimerization and the zero-point motion are also discussed. Our results provide a canonical example of a tractable strongly correlated system with a precise, first-principle description as a function of interatomic distance of a model system involving all hopping integrals, all pair-site interactions, and the exact one-band Wannier functions.

description: Certain polymer models are known to exhibit path localization in the sense that at low temperatures, the average fractional overlap of two independent samples from the Gibbs measure is bounded away from $0$. Nevertheless, the question of where along the path this overlap takes place has remained unaddressed. In this article, we prove that on linear scales, overlap occurs along the entire length of the polymer. Namely, we consider time intervals of length $\varepsilon N$, where $\varepsilon>0$ is fixed but arbitrarily small. We then identify a constant number of distinguished trajectories such that the Gibbs measure is concentrated on paths having, with one of these distinguished paths, a fixed positive overlap simultaneously in every such interval. This result is obtained in all dimensions for a Gaussian random environment by using a recent non-local result as a key input.

description: We discuss the allowed decays of a hybrid meson in the heavy quark limit. We deduce that an important decay will be into a heavy quark non-hybrid state and a light quark meson, in other words, the de-excitation of an excited gluonic string by emission of a light quark-antiquark pair. We discuss the study of hadronic decays from the lattice in the heavy quark limit and apply this approach to explore the transitions from a spin-exotic hybrid to $χ_b η$ and $χ_b S$ where $S$ is a scalar meson. We obtain a signal for the transition emitting a scalar meson and we discuss the phenomenological implications.

description: The recent comprehensive numerical study of critical points of the scalar potential of four-dimensional N=8, SO(8) gauged supergravity using Machine Learning software has led to a discovery of a new N=1 vacuum with a triality-invariant SO(3) symmetry. Guided by the numerical data for that point, we obtain a consistent SO(3)xZ2-invariant truncation of the N=8 theory to an N=1 supergravity with three chiral multiplets. Critical points of the truncated scalar potential include both the N=1 point as well as two new non-supersymmetric and perturbatively unstable points not found by previous searches. Studying the structure of the submanifold of SO(3)xZ2-invariant supergravity scalars, we find that it has a simple interpretation as a submanifold of the 14-dimensional Z2^3-invariant scalar manifold (SU(1,1)/U(1))^7, for which we find a rather remarkable superpotential whose structure matches the single bit error correcting (7, 4) Hamming code. This 14-dimensional scalar manifold contains approximately one quarter of the known critical points. We also show that there exists a smooth supersymmetric domain wall which interpolates between the new N=1 AdS4 solution and the maximally supersymmetric AdS4 vacuum. Using holography, this result indicates the existence of an N=1 RG flow from the ABJM SCFT to a new strongly interacting conformal fixed point in the IR.

description: Detection of gravitational waves (GW) opened new windows on fundamental physics and it would be natural to search how the role of extra dimensional effects can be traced to gravitational wave physics. In this article, we consider a toy model of five dimensional pure gravity theory compactified on a circle. The resulting four dimensional theory is a scalar-Maxwell theory which is minimally coupled with gravity. By finding the equations of motion for scalar, electric and magnetic fields , we would be able to find exact wave solutions of coupled equations which are zero mode solutions. We also perform perturbation in order to consider non-zero modes of electromagnetic fields .\\ Having these solutions at hand, we study the recombination of scalar-affected electromagnetic waves (EWs) in a typical Michelson interferometer. In particular , we obtain, up to to first order , the change of amplitude of electromagnetic power due to presence of this scalar field which may reveal some signals of extra dimension.

description: We study shock formation in vertically oscillated granular layers, using both molecular dynamics simulations and numerical solutions of continuum equations to Navier-Stokes order. A flat layer of grains is thrown up from an oscillating plate during each oscillation cycle and collides with the plate later in the cycle. The collisions produce layer compaction near the plate and a high temperature shock front that rapidly propagates upward through the layer. The shock is highly time-dependent, propagating through the layer in only a quarter of the cycle. We compare numerical solutions of the continuum equations to molecular dynamics simulations that assume binary, instantaneous collisions between frictionless hard spheres. The two simulations yield results for the shock position, shape, and speed that agree well. An investigation of the effect of inelasticity shows that the shock velocity increases continuously with decreasing inelasticity; the elastic limit is not singular.

description: Starting from a spherically symmetric tetrad with three unknown functions of the radial coordinate, a general solution of Møller's field equations in case of spherical symmetry nonsingular black hole is derived. The previously obtained solutions are verified as special cases of the general solution. The general solution is characterized by an arbitrary function and two constants of integration. The general solution gives no more than the spherically symmetric nonsingular black hole solution. The energy content of the general solution depends on the asymptotic behavior of the arbitrary function, and is different from the standard one.

Essays in empirical market microstructure

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a deeper understanding of the structure and interconnectedness of credit markets, with a particular focus on the sterling corporate bond market. In the first chapter, I explore how corporate bond investors react to a change in yields, and how this behaviour differs in times of market-wide stress. Using proprietary sterling corporate bond transaction data, I show that insurance companies, hedge funds and asset managers are typically net buyers when corporate bond yields rise. Dealer banks clear the market by being net sellers. However, I find evidence for this behaviour reversing in times of stress. During the 2013 'taper tantrum', asset managers were net sellers of corporate bonds in response to a sharp rise in yields, potentially amplifying price changes. Second, I provide evidence for a liquidity spillover effect between CDS and bond markets. Bond trading volumes are larger for investors with CDS positions written on the debt issuer, in particular around rating downgrades. I use a quasi-natural experiment to validate these findings. The termination of CDS positions in response to new higher margin requirements leads to increasing sell volumes and decreasing buy volumes in the bonds of the reference entity. The results of the experiment therefore lend strong support to the liquidity spillover hypothesis. In the third and last chapter, I provide causal evidence that CDS mark-to-market losses lead to fire sales in the corporate bond market. I instrument for the prevalence of mark-to-market losses with the ratio of non-centrally cleared CDS contracts of an individual counterparty. The monthly bond sell volumes of investors exposed to large mark-to-market losses are three times higher compared to those of unexposed investors. Returns decrease by more than 100 bps for bonds sold by exposed investors, compared to same-issuer bonds sold by unexposed investors. My findings underline the risk of a liquidity spiral in the credit market.

description: Optimal intertemporal investment behaviour ofAustralian pastoralists is modelled using panel data for the period 1979–1993.Results indicate that quasi-fixity of inputs of labour, capital, sheep numbers and cattle numbers is characteristic of production in the pastoral region. It takes about two years for labour, four years for capital and a little over two years for both sheep numbers and cattle numbers to adjust towards long-run optimal levels. Results also indicate that, after accounting for adjustment costs, own-price product supply and input demand responses are inelastic in both the short and long run.
Aqueous humour outflow dynamics in mice

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The major risk factor of glaucoma is sustained elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP), and lowering IOP is the only proven method for halting the progression of glaucomatous blindness. IOP is determined by the balance between aqueous humour (AH) production and drainage through pressure-dependent and pressure-independent outflow pathways. Elevated IOP is caused by increased hydraulic resistance through the pressure-dependent outflow pathway. Most glaucoma therapies aimed at lowering IOP do not effectively target pressure-dependent outflow due to an incomplete understanding of its regulation. We aim to use mice to study outflow regulation in the context of glaucoma. Mice are commonly used to study IOP regulation due to their resemblance to human ocular anatomy, genetics and pharmacology. However, while the bulk of AH drainage passes through the pressure-dependent pathway in humans, it has been reported to predominantly flow through the pressure-independent pathway in mice, which if true would invalidate the mouse as a model for studying outflow as occurs in humans. Here we present the first direct measurement of pressure-independent outflow in mice, showing it to be indistinguishable from zero which supports the mouse being a good model for pressure-dependent outflow as occurs in humans. We also investigated the role of the ocular pulse in outflow facility regulation, which arises due to cardiac pulsations in ocular blood volume. To do this we designed an apparatus to apply a sinusoidal pressure waveform superimposed onto a steady pressure whilst simultaneously measuring outflow resistance. We show that the ocular pulse leads to immediate decrease in outflow resistance in mice, and the effect was partly mediated through nitric oxide synthase. Finally, we developed a new apparatus and method to measure outflow resistance in living mice accounting for the influence of anaesthesia that introduces time-dependent changes in AH physiology.
Simple Model for the Variation of Superfluid Density with Zn Concentration in YBCO

description: We describe a simple model for calculating the zero-temperature superfluid density of Zn-doped YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-δ} as a function of the fraction x of in-plane Cu atoms which are replaced by Zn. The basis of the calculation is a ``Swiss cheese'' picture of a single CuO_2 layer, in which a substitutional Zn impurity creates a normal region of area $πξ_{ab}^2$ around it as originally suggested by Nachumi et al. Here $ξ_{ab}$ is the zero-temperature in-plane coherence length at x = 0. We use this picture to calculate the variation of the in-plane superfluid density with x at temperature T = 0, using both a numerical approach and an analytical approximation. For $δ= 0.37$, if we use the value $ξ_{ab}$ = 18.3 angstrom, we find that the in-plane superfluid decreases with increasing x and vanishes near $x_c = 0.01$ in the analytical approximation, and near $x_c = 0.014$ in the numerical approach. $x_c$ is quite sensitive to $ξ_{ab}$, whose value is not widely agreed upon. The model also predicts a peak in the real part of the conductivity, Re$σ_e(ω, x)$, at concentrations $x \sim x_c$, and low frequencies, and a variation of critical current density with x of the form $J_c(x) \propto n_{S,e}(x)^{7/4}$ near percolation, where $n_{S,e}(x)$ is the in-plane superfluid density.

Numerical modelling of flash-boiling fuel sprays
Creators: name: Price, Christopher James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Flash-boiling of fuel sprays can occur when a liquid is discharged into an ambient environment with pressure lower than the fuels saturation pressure. The fuel enters a metastable superheated state which promotes atomisation and evaporation due to rapid phase change. The flash-boiling mechanism typically refers to high temperature thermally driven phase-change in the form of superheat, as opposed to mechanically driven low pressure phase-change associated with cavitation. Flash-boiling can exist in direct-injection spark-ignition engines operating at low in-cylinder pressures and/or high fuel temperatures. The addition of even small amounts of novel high volatile additives/fuels may also promote the onset of flash-boiling. Within multi-hole injectors flash-boiling can significantly vary spray formation, causing individual plumes to interact and collapse which can be both advantageous and detrimental to engine operation. The modelling of flash-boiling fuel sprays using a Lagrangian Particle Tracking framework within the CFD code of STAR-CD in the context of direct-injection spark-ignition engines was investigated in the current work. This included parametric studies into important aspects of flash-boiling as well as the development of flash-boiling sub-models which introduced thermal mechanisms such as in-nozzle phase-change, near-nozzle plume expansion through droplet shattering and increased evaporation rates. The parametric study highlighted the importance of increased atomisation and evaporation rates within flash-boiling sprays. This led to the development of two flash-boiling models which were applied to a wide range of operating conditions, single-component fuels and injector configurations. The models included a flash-boiling spray effective nozzle model and a flash-boiling breakup model which attempted to quantify both in-nozzle phase change effects and near-nozzle thermal atomisation, respectively. Both modelling techniques showed promise individually but also as a combination of in-nozzle and near-nozzle mechanisms. Important flash-boiling spray characteristics including complex plume interactions, spray collapse, droplet recirculation and effects on penetration lengths were captured and where possible quantitative and qualitative comparisons were made to experimental data. The developed flash-boiling capability was used to investigate spray and mixture formation within a direct-injection spark-ignition engine and the potential improvements in mixture homogeneity were confirmed.
