description: We describe the equations of motion of elastodynamic bounded bodies in 3-space, and their linearizations at a stationary point. Using the latter as an approximation to model small motions, we develop a scheme to find numerical solutions of these equations. We discretize the solution in the space of PL vector fields associated to the oriented faces of the first barycentric subdivision of a given smooth initial triangulation of the body, in order to exploit the algebraic topology properties of the body that these vector fields encode into the sought after solution, and solve a weak version of the linearized equations in that context. We apply our scheme to a couple of relevant examples of thin bodies, bodies where one of the dimensions is at least one order of magnitude in size less than the other two, and determine numerical approximations to some of their resonance modes of vibration. The results obtained are consistent with known vibration patterns for these bodies derived experimentally.

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: The radial distributions of the Mg2 and Fe5270 Lick spectral indices have been measured to large radial distances on the disks of NGC 4303 and NGC 4535 using an imaging technique based on interference filters. These data, added to those of NGC 4321 previously published in Paper I of this series are used to constraint chemical (multiphase) evolutionary models for these galaxies. Because the integrated light of a stellar disk is a time average over the history of the galaxy weighted by the star formation rate, these constraints complement the information on chemical gradients provided by the study of HII regions which, by themselves, can only provide the alpha-elements abundance accumulate over the life of the galaxy. The agreement between the observations and the model predictions shown here lends confidence to the models which are then used to describe the time evolution of galaxy parameters such as star formation rates, chemical gradients, and gradients in the mean age of the stellar population.

description: In the present paper we extend the definition of slice-torus invariant to links. We prove a few properties of the newly-defined slice-torus link invariants: the behaviour under crossing change, a slice genus bound, an obstruction to strong sliceness, and a combinatorial bound. Furthermore, we provide an application to the computation of the splitting number. Finally, we use the slice-torus link invariants, and the Whitehead doubling to define new strong concordance invariants for links, which are proven to be independent from the corresponding slice-torus link invariant.

Finite element, adaptive spectral wave modelling
Creators: name: Adam, Alexandros
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The ability to predict the wave climate has a great impact on a wide range of sectors, including coastal and offshore engineering, marine renewable energy and shipping. The state of the art in wave prediction is called spectral wave modelling and is based on a phase-averaged, spectral description of the sea-surface elevation. The governing equation, called the action balance equation, is five-dimensional and describes the generation, propagation and evolution of action density in geographic space, spectral space and time. Due to the multidimensional nature of the equation the feasible resolutions are restricted by the computational costs. The aim of this work is to propose schemes which can increase the range of possible resolutions in spectral wave modelling, with the use of adaptivity in space and angle. Thus, this work focuses on the development of an unstructured, adaptive finite element spectral wave model (Fluidity-SW). A sub-grid scale model for the spatial discretisation is used, which retains the stability of discontinuous systems, with continuous degrees of freedom. Then, a new framework for angular adaptivity is developed, with results in dynamic angular and spatial anisotropy of the angular mesh. Finally a spatially h−adaptive scheme is implemented, which can dynamically treat the spatial gradients of the solution fields. The resulting framework is thoroughly verified and validated in a wide range of test cases and realistic scenarios, against analytical solutions, wave measurements and the results obtained with the widely used SWAN model. Thus, the overall ability of the code to simulate surface gravity wind-waves in fixed and adaptive spatial and angular meshes is demonstrated.
Enhancing risk stratification and decision making in elderly patients undergoing colorectal surgery
Creators: name: Bagnall, Nigel Mark
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Little is known about what are the most important factors that influence recovery in older patients after surgery. Patients in England aged 75 years or more undergoing elective colorectal surgery have a 30 day mortality of 7%. However, by one year this substantially increases to 18%. If older patients who are vulnerable to poor recovery are identified either pre-operatively or at an early stage when recovery is failing, hospital and/or community interventions may be implemented. Elderly patients vary widely in physical, functional and cognitive performance. Quantifying the requirements of an individual to withstand the insult of major surgery is dependent upon a comprehensive understanding of their baseline functional capacity. In multiple large-scale community-based studies, frailty has been recognised as an independent predictor of falls, hospitalisation, need for institutional care and death. Furthermore, studies suggest that frailty is modifiable. Frailty has only recently begun to be investigated in surgical populations. There are currently no studies evaluating the effect of pre-operative functional status on outcome and quality of life in elderly patients up to one year following colorectal resection. Also there are no high quality studies that evaluate the trajectory of recovery in elderly patients after colorectal surgery and in the community. The primary aim of the proposed thesis is to evaluate the recovery of elderly patients with varying degrees of preoperative frailty, in terms of quality of life after major elective colorectal resection. The secondary aims of the thesis are to investigate the relationship between preoperative frailty and mortality, complications and recovery. This will improve the quality of information available to patients with regards to their expected functional quality of life after surgery.
Helioseismic analysis of the hydrogen partition function in the solar interior

description: The difference in the adiabatic gradient gamma_1 between inverted solar data and solar models is analyzed. To obtain deeper insight into the issues of plasma physics, the so-called ``intrinsic'' difference in gamma_1 is extracted, that is, the difference due to the change in the equation of state alone. Our method uses reference models based on two equations of state currently used in solar modeling, the Mihalas-Hummer-Dappen (MHD) equation of state, and the OPAL equation of state (developed at Livermore). Solar oscillation frequencies from the SOI/MDI instrument on board the SOHO spacecraft during its first 144 days in operation are used. Our results confirm the existence of a subtle effect of the excited states in hydrogen that was previously studied only theoretically (Nayfonov & Dappen 1998). The effect stems from internal partition function of hydrogen, as used in the MHD equation of state. Although it is a pure-hydrogen effect, it takes place in somewhat deeper layers of the Sun, where more than 90% of hydrogen is ionized, and where the second ionization zone of helium is located. Therefore, the effect will have to be taken into account in reliable helioseismic determinations of the astrophysically relevant helium-abundance of the solar convection zone.

description: Cooper instability associated with superconductivity in the two-dimensional semi-Dirac semimetals is attentively studied in the presence of attractive Cooper-pairing interaction, which is the projection of an attractive fermion-fermion interaction. Performing the standard renormalization group analysis shows that the Cooper theorem is violated at zero chemical potential but instead Cooper instability can be generated only if the absolute strength of fermion-fermion coupling exceeds certain critical value and transfer momentum is restricted to a confined region, which is determined by the initial conditions. Rather, the Cooper theorem would be instantly restored once a finite chemical potential is introduced and thus a chemical potential-tuned phase transition is expected. Additionally, we briefly examine the effects of impurity scatterings on the Cooper instability at zero chemical potential, which in principle are harmful to Cooper instability although they can enhance the density of states of systems. Furthermore, the influence of competition between a finite chemical potential and impurities upon the Cooper instability is also simply investigated. These results are expected to provide instructive clues for exploring unconventional superconductors in the kinds of semimetals.

A multigrid approach to SDP relaxations of sparse polynomial optimization problems
Creators: name: Campos Salazar, Juan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: We propose two multigrid approaches for the global optimization of polynomial op- timization problems. In our first contribution we consider problems that arise from the discretization of infinite dimensional optimization problems, such as PDE optimiza- tion problems, boundary value problems and some global optimization applications. In many of these applications, the level of discretization can be used to obtain a hierarchy of optimization models that captures the underlying infinite dimensional problem at different degrees of fidelity. This approach, inspired by multigrid methods, has been successfully used for decades to solve large systems of linear equations. However, it has not been adapted to SDP relaxations of polynomial optimization problems. The main difficulty is that the geometric information between grids is lost when the original problem is approximated via an SDP relaxation. Despite the loss of geometric infor- mation, we show how a multigrid approach can be applied by developing prolongation operators to relate the primal and dual variables of the SDP relaxation between lower and higher levels in the hierarchy of discretizations. We develop sufficient conditions for the operators to be useful in applications. Our conditions are easy to verify in prac- tice, and we discuss how they can be used to reduce the complexity of infeasible interior iv point methods. Following the same reasoning, the second approach does not assume any particular structure of the underlying polynomial problem, but instead considers the hierarchy of sparse SDP relaxations that can be obtained for any unconstrained polynomial optimizations problem with structured sparsity. Prolongation operators are defined for this type of hierarchy, and theoretical results that show their usefulness are proved. Our preliminary results highlight two promising advantages of following a multigrid approach in contrast with a pure interior point method: the percentage of problems that can be solved to a high accuracy is much higher, and the time necessary to find a solution can be reduced significantly, especially for large scale problems.

description: The Hubble Space Telescope has been used to obtain WFPC2 (V,I) photometry for a sample of 10,000 red giant stars in the outer halo of the giant elliptical NGC 5128. Comparison with the fiducial RGBs of Milky Way globular clusters and model isochrones demonstrates that this outer-halo population is completely dominated by old stars, with an extremely broad metallicity range extending from the most metal-poor Galactic globulars at [Fe/H] = -2 up to Solar abundance. By interpolation within the fiducial lines we derive the metallicity distribution function (MDF) for the halo, which turns out to have a distinct two-component structure: about 2/3 of the stars belong to a sharply peaked metal-richer component ([Fe/H] = -0.3, sigma = 0.22 dex), while the remaining one-third belong to a more extended metal-poor distribution sloping gradually down to low metallicity. The MDF can be remarkably well matched by a simple closed-box model of chemical enrichment, where the first component starts with an initial abundance Z_0 =0 and the second component with Z_0 = 0.18 Z_Sun. A basic "in situ" formation picture with two distinct epochs of star formation fits the observations better than other models involving major contributions from accretions or mergers.

Regulation of cellular energy metabolism – implications for Parkinson’s Disease
Creators: name: Weinert, Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Mutations in DJ-1 (PARK7) gene cause recessive, early-onset Parkinson‘s disease. DJ-1 is a neuroprotective oncogene that translocates from the cytoplasm to mitochondria under cellular stress conditions. The neuroprotective role of DJ-1 against reactive oxygen species has been extensively studied but its normal, physiological function is not fully understood. 14-3-3beta is a conserved protein of the 14-3-3 family of chaperones that are implicated in regulation of metabolism in part through regulation of subcellular localisation of their targets. We found that 14-3-3beta interacts with DJ-1 in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Furthermore, 14-3-3beta inhibits the translocation of DJ-1 to mitochondria under normal cell physiological conditions. The knockdown of 14-3-3beta leads to increased mitochondrial membrane potential, likely through the enhanced mitochondrial translocation of DJ-1. 14-3-3beta knockdown cells show increased proliferation rates under normoxia and hypoxia and are more sensitive to chemical inhibition of mitochondrial ATP production compared to control cell lines. These results suggest that the interaction between DJ-1 and 14-3-3beta plays a role in cellular metabolic balance by influencing the cellular preference for glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation as the two main modes of ATP production. We also postulate that the neuronal metabolic balance, regulated by the interaction between DJ-1 and 14-3-3beta, is required for cellular adaptation to environmental stress or synaptic activity.

description: This study explores climate-smart agriculture (CSA) adoption and the application of agroecology (AE) principles among Tanzanian smallholders, using a survey of 315 households (HHs). Findings reveal that most CSA adopters integrate several AE principles, though application varies by CSA practices. Socioeconomic factors, like HH head, HH size, land ownership, training access, CSA interventions, and local initiatives, influence and shape adoption patterns. Integrating different CSA practices improves alignment with AE principles, increasing farm income and creating ecological-economic synergies. Highlighting CSA’s and AE’s potential to enhance smallholder livelihoods and mitigate climate change, the study stresses horizontal knowledge sharing in promoting integrated approaches.
Catchment-scale fine sediment dynamics and its implications for flood management

description: The impact of fine sediment on catchment flood risk is often neglected when designing and implementing catchment managements plans. Yet, the accumulation of fine sediment can diminish channel capacity, causing an increase in flood risk. To successfully transition away from costly and invasive sediment management methods towards an integrated Natural Flood Management (NFM) approach, the dynamics of fine sediment and its implications for flood risk management must be explored. This thesis employs a novel geomorphological, hydrological, engineering and social approach to explore the influence of fine sediment on flood risk.Hydrological modelling of connectivity and erosion risk was conducted to determine the potential sources of fine sediment using SCIMAP. The model found the River Eye has relatively low hydrological connectivity, suggesting sources of sediment in-channel are likely derived from local sources such as river banks. The sub-catchments of Burton Brook and Langham Brook as the areas of highest connectivity and erosion risk indicating likely source areas. To explore patterns of spatial and temporal fine sediment transport an intensive field monitoring campaign was conducted using Time Integrated Mass Sediment samplers (TIMS) across the River Eye catchment. The suspended sediment samples found the sites upstream of the silt trap had higher sediment loads than downstream, indicating the silt traps effectiveness in reducing fine sediment transfer. Sediment yield analysis found the Burton Brook tributary is a significant contributor of fine sediments delivering 17.4 g km2 day-1. The TIMS were analysed for their relative efficiency and found sediment load between samplers to vary by 4%-171%. However, analysis of physical sediment properties was found to be consistent. At a reach scale, three flood defences were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in terms of fine sediment transport. Water level monitors installed upstream of the silt trap observed flow backing-up behind the silt trap >200m in high flow events. TIMS were installed up and downstream of two silt traps and found the silt traps were effective in reducing sediment load by 59.7-98.0% on 7/8 occasions (Burton Brook) and 32.5-71.9% on 5/8 occasions (Ham Bridge). A complementary qualitative study was undertaken to assess the non-technical barriers to changes in flood risk and sediment management. A catchment wide survey was used to investigate attitudes of awareness, resilience and responsibility. Response analysis identified potential barriers to future NFM installation such as preference to traditional engineering structures and dredging to manage sediment delivery. The outcomes from all four approaches were used to create a series of recommendations on future flood risk and fine sediment management for catchment managers in lowland catchments.

Energy Momentum Localization in Quantum Gravity

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce quantum spatio-temporal dynamics (QSD) as modeled by the Nexus Paradigm (NP) of quantum gravity to resolve the problem of energy-momentum localization in a gravitational field. Currently, the gravitational field as described using the language of geometry modeled under General Relativity (GR) fails to provide a generally accepted definition of energy-momentum. Attempts at resolving this problem using geometric methods have resulted in various energy-momentum complexes whose physical meaning remain dubious since the resulting complexes are non-tensorial under a general coordinate transformation. In QSD, the tangential manifold is the affine connection field in which energy-momentum localization is readily defined. We also discover that the positive mass condition is a natural consequence of quantization and that dark energy is a Higgs like field with negative energy density everywhere. Finally, energy-momentum localization in quantum gravity shows that a free falling object will experience larger vacuum fluctuations (uncertainties in location) in strong gravity than in weak gravity and that the amplitudes of these oscillations define the energy of the free falling object.

description: We consider the inverse problem of determining the fragmentation rate from noisy measurements in the growth-fragmentation equation. We use Fourier transform theory on locally compact groups to treat this problem for general fragmentation probabilities. We develop a regularization method based on spectral filtering, which allows us to deal with the inverse problem in weighted ${L}^2$ spaces. %Our approach regularizes the signal generated by differential operators in the frequency domain. As a result, we obtain a regularization method with error of order $O(\varepsilon^{\frac{2m}{2m+1}})$, where $\varepsilon$ is the noise level and $m>0$ is the {\em a priori} regularity order of the fragmentation rate.

description: We calculate spectral models of advection-dominated accretion flows, taking into account the possibility that significant mass may be lost to a wind. We apply the models to the soft X-ray transient V404 Cyg in quiescence and the Galactic center source Sgr A*. We show that there are qualitative degeneracies between the mass loss rate in the wind and parameters characterizing the microphysics of the accretion flow; of particular importance is $δ$, the fraction of the turbulent energy which heats the electrons. For small $δ$, current observations of soft X-ray transients and Sgr A* suggest that at least $\sim 10 %$ of the mass originating at large radii must reach the central object. For large $δ\sim 0.3$, however, models with significantly more mass loss are in agreement with the observations. We also discuss constraints on advection-dominated accretion flow models imposed by recent radio observations of NGC 4649 and other nearby elliptical galaxies. We conclude by highlighting future observations which may clarify the importance of mass loss in sub-Eddington accretion flows.

Identification of potential novel biomarkers in neuroendocrine tumours of the gastroenteropancreatic system.
Creators: name: Miller, Helen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET) are rare tumours arising in the neuroendocrine cells of the digestive system. Chromosomal instability is rarely observed in GEP-NET suggesting epigenetic changes, such as changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression, may be drivers of disease pathology. There is an unmet clinical need for novel prognostic biomarkers to enable further stratification of GEP-NET patients based on tumour behaviour and to inform treatment options. In this thesis a study of 161 GEP-NET patients demonstrates that liver metastases remain a common event despite the majority of tumours having low proliferation levels as assessed by the proliferation marker Ki-67. 28 % of the GEP-NET patients with a Ki-67 % of ≤ 2 % (G1) had stage IV disease. The results are even more striking for patients with small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (SBNET) with 54 % of G1 SBNET patients having stage IV disease. In order to identify novel prognostic biomarkers for use in patients with SBNET, 800 miRNA are quantified in 90 different tissue samples from 37 SBNET patients. This work represents the most comprehensive investigation of miRNA expression in SBNET to date. Novel miRNA are identified that have not been previously associated with SBNET tumourigenesis and disease progression. These miRNA warrant further study to better understand their contribution to disease pathology in SBNET. The most promising potential biomarkers associated with disease progression in SBNET are validated in two independent populations of SBNET patients to ensure that the results are reproducible. Further analysis demonstrates that miR-1 and miR-143-3p are the most promising candidates for use as potential novel prognostic biomarkers in SBNET patients. Further studies are warranted to determine the clinical utility of miR-1 and miR-143-3p as prognostic biomarkers and to determine if they can be used to identify patients with more aggressive disease subtypes and enable tailored treatment.

description: We present the rest-frame colour-magnitude diagram for 35 early-type galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field with median redshift 0.9. Although with considerable scatter, a red sequence well-described by the passive evolution of an intrinsically old stellar population is observed. Comparison with the passively evolved colour-magnitude relation of the rich Coma cluster ($z=0.023$) indicates that around half of the early-type galaxies in the field at this redshift are as old as those in rich clusters.

Gradual evaluation in argumentation frameworks: Methods, properties and applications
Creators: name: Rago, Antonio
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Gradual evaluation methods in argumentation frameworks provide semantics for assessing the gradual acceptance of arguments, differing from the qualitative semantics that have been used in argument evaluation since argumentation’s conception. These methods and their semantics are wide-ranging; they comprise those for group acceptance, probabilistic measures and game-theoretical strength, amongst many others. This affords numerous application areas and so the requisite behaviour for each needs to be justified by theoretical proofs of useful properties for a specific application. Our contributions to this field span three interweaving sub-categories, namely methods, properties and applications. For gradual evaluation methods, we develop a number of novel and useful methods themselves. For each method we detail the semantics’ and the frameworks’ definitions then undertake theoretical evaluations based on their properties, before applications targeting real-world problems are suggested for each method. As for gradual evaluation properties, we undertake a systematic analysis for this research landscape by first identifying groups of conceptually related properties in the literature and provide a simplifying and unifying perspective for these properties by showing that all the considered literature properties are implied by four, novel parametric principles. We then validate these principles by showing that they are satisfied by several quantitative argumentation formalisms in the literature. We also instantiate the extensive number of implied properties of these principles which are not present in the literature. These properties are also used to extract argumentation explanations for recommendations in recommender systems, a novel concept and application.

description: The existence of backscattering-immune spin-wave modes is demonstrated in magnetic thin films of nano-scale thickness. Our results reveal that chiral Magneto Static Surface Waves (cMSSWs), which propagate perpendicular to the magnetization direction in an in-plane magnetized thin film, are robust against backscattering from surface defects. cMSSWs are protected against various types of surface inhomogeneities and defects as long as their frequency lies inside the gap of the volume modes. Our explanation is independent of the topology of the modes and predicts that this robustness is a consequence of symmetry breaking of the dynamic magnetic fields of cMSSWs due to the off-diagonal part of the dipolar interaction tensor, which is present both for long- (dipole dominated) and short-wavelength (exchange dominated) spin waves. Micromagnetic simulations confirm the robust character of the cMSSWs. Our results open a new direction in designing highly efficient magnonic logic elements and devices employing cMSSWs in nano-scale thin films.

The role of iron in pulmonary hypertension
Creators: name: Watson, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Introduction: Iron is a critical ion in the regulation of many cellular processes and iron deficiency (ID) has been shown to be a powerful predictor of survival in many diseases. It has been shown that ID, defined by increased soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels impacts on outcomes in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). sTfR is not widely available as an assay. It is also not known how common ID is in other forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and whether it impacts on function and survival. Aims: 1) To identify the best routinely-available biomarker of ID in patients with IPAH; 2) Assess the prevalence of ID in common forms of PH; 3) Explore the relationship between ID and function and survival in PH; 4) Run a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial of iv iron in IPAH. Methods: Data were collected historically from patients in the PH service at Hammersmith Hospital and analysed to provide the best clinical criteria to identify patients with ID. Subsequently, a larger cohort of patients with IPAH as well as other forms of PH was analysed to assess the prevalence of ID at diagnosis and the impact on functional status and survival. A crossover trial was run to assess the impact of iv iron on haemodynamics and exercise in IPAH. Results: ID can be best identified by using red cell distribution width (RDW) in IPAH. RDW is associated with exercise capacity in IPAH, but more so, is associated with functional changes in chronic thromboembolic PH. RDW was a strong marker of survival across all groups but independence could not be established from other markers. The clinical trial did not complete in time, but unblinded data suggest improvements in aerobic exercise, but no change in haemodynamics. Conclusion: ID is common in all forms of PH, and has functional and survival implications. Iron replacement in IPAH may improve exercise function but complete results from the trial are awaited.

description: This paper addresses the mode collapse for generative adversarial networks (GANs). We view modes as a geometric structure of data distribution in a metric space. Under this geometric lens, we embed subsamples of the dataset from an arbitrary metric space into the l2 space, while preserving their pairwise distance distribution. Not only does this metric embedding determine the dimensionality of the latent space automatically, it also enables us to construct a mixture of Gaussians to draw latent space random vectors. We use the Gaussian mixture model in tandem with a simple augmentation of the objective function to train GANs. Every major step of our method is supported by theoretical analysis, and our experiments on real and synthetic data confirm that the generator is able to produce samples spreading over most of the modes while avoiding unwanted samples, outperforming several recent GAN variants on a number of metrics and offering new features.
