Mechanics of cortical bone: exploring the micro- and nano-scale
Creators: name: Rodriguez Florez, Naiara
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This PhD aimed at characterising mechanical, structural and compositional properties of cortical bone at the micro- and nano-scale employing various techniques applied to mouse models of ageing and disease. Nanoindentation was used to probe bone at the micro-scale. Nanoindentation properties of the same control mouse bones were measured using a range of preparation, testing and analysis options. This was the first time that such systematic study was conducted. It was concluded that although the measured values were influenced by experimental and analysis choices, nanoindentation was capable of capturing relative trends in bone’s mechanical properties. Nanoindentation was then coupled to a poroelastic approach to measure age-related changes in mouse bone permeability. Permeability is key to understanding fluid flow in bone, which may indicate how bone cells sense changes in the mechanical environment. These first permeability measurements in mouse bone demonstrated that the permeability caused by fluid flowing through bone’s lacunar-canalicular porosity decreases with age. Porosity is expected to also affect bone’s ability to resist fracture at the micro-scale. The influence of intra-cortical porosity on crack propagation was explored via extended finite element methods. A novel technique was suggested to propagate cracks through holes and applied to 2D models of the porosity of osteogenesis imperfecta mouse bone. Results showed that vascular canals affect crack propagation and might contribute to the brittleness of osteogenesis impefecta bone. Skeletal pathologies often cause alterations in bone’s building blocks leading to deteriorated whole-bone toughness. Mineral properties of brittle and ductile mouse bone (models of osteogenesis imperfecta and rickets respectively) were evaluated. Results revealed that deviations in size, composition and organisation of bone mineral reduce bone’s mechanical integrity both in brittle and ductile pathologic bone. The outcomes of this thesis provide a deeper understanding of bone material, which is required for future improvements in treatments for skeletal diseases.

description: Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is an important climate parameter indicative of available moisture in the atmosphere, it is also an important greenhouse gas. Observations of precipitable water vapor in sub-Sahel West Africa are almost non-existent. Several Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) sites have been established across West Africa, and observations from four of them, namely, Ilorin (4.34o E, 8.32o N), Cinzana (5.93o W, 13.28o N), Banizoumbou (2.67o E, 13.54o N) and Dakar (16.96o W, 14.39o N) are being used in this study. Data spanning the period from 2004 to 2014 have been selected, they include conventional humidity parameters, remotely sensed aerosol and precipitable water information and numerical model outputs. Since in Africa, only conventional information on humidity parameters is available, it is important to utilize the unique observations from the AERONET network to calibrate empirical formulas frequently used to estimate precipitable water vapor from humidity measurements. An empirical formula of the form PWV=aT_d+b where T_d is the surface dew point temperature, a and b are constants, was fitted to the data and is proposed as applicable to the climatic condition of the sub-Sahel. Moreover, we have also used the AERONET information to evaluate the capabilities of well-established numerical weather prediction (NWP) models such as ERA Interim Reanalysis, NCEP-DOE Reanalysis II and NCEP-CFSR, to estimate precipitable water vapor in the sub-Sahel West Africa, it was found that the models tend to overestimate the amount of precipitable water at the selected sites by about 25 %.

description: We compute the luminosity function of galaxies in groups. The data consists in two samples of groups of galaxies selected in distance and redshift space comprising a total number of 66 groups. The assignment of galaxies to the groups were derived from the Edinburgh-Durham Southern Galaxy Catalog, considering a limiting apparent magnitude $m_{lim}=19.4$. We find a flat faint end of the mean galaxy luminosity function in groups in contrast to the mean galaxy LF in clusters where a large relative number of faint galaxies is present. We find that a Schechter function with parameters $M^{*}\simeq -19.6\pm 0.2,$ $α\simeq -1.0\pm $ 0.2 provides a satisfactory fit to the galaxy LF of our total sample of groups in the range of absolute magnitudes $-22

description: Methane and nitrogen have critically important biogeochemical cycles. Methane is a strong greenhouse gas, while nitrogen is a eutrophication agent in estuarine and coastal systems. This thesis investigates the presence of methane and nitrogen in groundwater and streams as well as any linkages between these biogeochemical cycles. In agricultural groundwater with elevated nitrogen concentrations, dissolved methane concentrations ranged from 0 to over 400 M. Restored streams in forested and urban watersheds had a range of methane concentrations from 0 to 5.37 M. The impact of land use was investigated as well, finding that within 3-5 years after the cessation of intensive grain production, groundwater nitrate concentrations in the top of the surface unconfined aquifer dropped from 11 mg NO3--N L-1 to 0.5 mg NO3--N L-1. Biogeochemical methods were used to investigate the process of anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to denitrification in agricultural soils and groundwater.

description: Wildland fires in the WUI present a constant threat to life and property in the United States and across the globe. Many wildland fires are caused by ember spotting, a process in which firebrands are lofted significant distances away from the fire front by combinations of winds and gas flows. These firebrands have the potential to collect and cause new spot fires independent of the original wildland fire. While firebrand mechanisms such as ember generation and transport have been thoroughly studied and quantified, the capacity in which firebrands cause these fires is not as well known. Recent studies have made progress towards determining the surface temperature of these firebrands; however, none have provided repeatable temperature data from a variety of test conditions. This paper presents firebrand surface temperature using color imaging ember pyrometry techniques for various imaging distances and illuminations. A digital color camera was calibrated to a blackbody furnace with a temperature range of 600 – 1200 °C. Calibration to the blackbody allows the normalized pixel values of each image to be converted to temperature using G/R ratio, grayscale, and hybrid pyrometry. Signal to noise ratios of around 850 and 46 for grayscale and ratio pyrometry were obtained. Two simultaneous images of a single ember from distances of 0.5 and 1 m, as well as additional images from 4 m were observed and quantified. The firebrand surface temperature was determined to be independent of imaging distance. The mean surface temperature across all imaging distances was calculated to be 931 ± 6.2 °C. Ratio pyrometry was observed to be the preferred method of imaging pyrometry due to its independence from surface emissivity and transmissivity as well as it’s applicability to real fire scenarios for future research. Firebrands were also imaged in sequences containing various illumination and background color. Illumination was observed to disrupt G/R ratio pyrometry due to an overwhelming increase in green pixel values.
Cosmic microwave background anisotropies in the CDM model: a covariant and gauge-invariant approach

description: We present a fully covariant and gauge-invariant calculation of the evolution of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. We use the physically appealing covariant approach to cosmological perturbations, which ensures that all variables are gauge-invariant and have a clear physical interpretation. We derive the complete set of frame-independent, linearised equations describing the (Boltzmann) evolution of anisotropy and inhomogeneity in an almost Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cold dark matter (CDM) universe. These equations include the contributions of scalar, vector and tensor modes in a unified manner. Frame-independent equations for scalar and tensor perturbations, which are valid for any value of the background curvature, are obtained straightforwardly from the complete set of equations. We discuss the scalar equations in detail, including the integral solution and relation with the line of sight approach, analytic solutions in the early radiation dominated era, and the numerical solution in the standard CDM model. Our results confirm those obtained by other groups, who have worked carefully with non-covariant methods in specific gauges, but are derived here in a completely transparent fashion.

description: We study a stochastic model of biosynthesis of proteins in generic bacterial operons. The stochasticity arises from two different processes, namely from `bursting' production of either mRNA and/or protein (in the transcription/translation process) and from standard diffusive fluctuations. The amount of protein follows the Feller diffusion, while the bursting introduces random jumps between trajectories of the diffusion process. The combined effect leads to a process commonly known as a diffusion process with jumps. We study existence of invariant densities and the long time behavior of distributions of the corresponding Markov process, proving asymptotic stability in the evolution of the density.

Transitions in $^{194}$Po were identified and placed using $γ$-ray singles and coincidence data gated on the mass of the evaporation residues. A level spectrum up to J$\approx$10$\hbar$ was established. The structure of $^{194}$Po is more collective than that observed in the heavier polonium isotopes and indicates that the structure has started to evolve towards the more collective nature expected for deformed nuclei.

description: Near-infrared surveys have revealed a substantial population of enigmatic faint galaxies with extremely red optical-to-near-infrared colours and with a sky surface density comparable to that of faint quasars. There are two scenarios for these extreme colours: (i) these distant galaxies have formed virtually all their stars at very high redshifts and, due to the absence of recently formed stars, the colours are extremely red and (ii) these distant galaxies contain large amounts of dust, severely reddening the rest-frame UV--optical spectrum. HR10 ($z = 1.44$) is considered the archetype of the extremely red galaxies. Here we report the detection of the continuum emission from HR10 at 850$μ$m and at 1250$μ$m, demonstrating that HR10 is a very dusty galaxy undergoing a major episode of star formation. Our result provides a clear example of a high-redshift galaxy where the star formation rate inferred from the ultraviolet luminosity would be underestimated by a factor up to 1000, and shows that great caution should be used to infer the global star formation history of the Universe from optical observations only.

description: Our work is motivated by predicting the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) based on a series of longitudinally observed brain scan images. Existing works on dynamic prediction for AD focus primarily on extracting predictive information from multivariate longitudinal biomarker values or brain imaging data at the baseline; whereas in practice, the subject’s brain scan image represented by a multi-dimensional data matrix is collected at each follow-up visit. It is of great interest to predict the progression of AD directly from a series of longitudinally observed images. We propose a novel multi-dimensional functional principal component analysis based on alternating regression on tensor-product B-spline, which circumvents the computational difficulty of doing eigendecomposition, and offers the flexibility of accommodating sparsely and irregularly observed image series. We then use the functional principal component scores as features in the Cox proportional hazards model. We further develop a dynamic prediction framework to provide a personalized prediction that can be updated as new images are collected. Our method extracts visibly interpretable images of the functional principal components and offers an accurate prediction of the conversion to AD. We examine the effectiveness of our method via simulation studies and illustrate its application on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative data. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

The neutron energies, measured via time-of-flight, give information on states in $^{17}$C above the $^{16}$C + neutron threshold. States in $^{17}$C were found at excitation energies of 2.25(2) MeV, 2.64(2) MeV and 3.82(5) MeV, and possibly at 1.18(1) MeV.

description: Three body systems with short-range interactions display universal features that have been extensively explored in atomic physics, but apply to hadron physics as well. Systems composed of two non-interacting identical particles (species H) of mass $M$ and a third particle (species P) of mass $m$ that interacts attractively with the other two have the property that they are more likely to bind for larger values of the mass ratio $M/m$. This is particularly striking if the HHP system is in P-wave (while the interacting pair is in S-wave), in which case one would not normally expect the formation of a three body state. If we assume that the $B^* \bar{K}$ binds to form the $B^*_{s1}$ heavy meson and notice that the mass ratio of the $B^*$ to $\bar{K}$ is $M /m = 10.8$, concrete calculations indicate that there should be a three body $B^* B^* \bar{K}$ bound state between $30-40\,{\rm MeV}$ below the $B^*_{s1} B^*$ threshold. For the $Ξ_{bb} Ξ_{bb} \bar{K}$ system the mass imbalance is about $M /m = 20.5$ and two bound states are expected to appear, a fundamental and an excited one located at $50-90$ and $5-15\,{\rm MeV}$ below the $Ξ_{bb} Ω^*_{bb\frac{1}{2}}$ threshold (where $Ω^*_{bb\frac{1}{2}}$ denotes the $Ξ_{bb} \bar{K}$ bound state). We indicate the possibility of analogous P-wave three body bound states composed of two heavy baryons and a kaon or antikaon and investigate the conditions under which the Efimov effect could appear in these systems.

Quantitative analysis and statistical mechanics of granular pack structures
Creators: name: Jordan, Joseph Francis Patrick
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Disordered granular packs present many challenges over regular structures in description, analysis and modelling. Within the granular statistical mechanics, which aims to compute bulk properties from details of the local structure, the quadron description was defined over a decade ago. This quantitative characterisation of disordered systems enumerates the structural degrees of freedom, by dividing the system into tessellating volume elements, quadrons, and assigning each a quantitative structure tensor computed from its shape. Presented in this work is a theoretical derivation of an equipartition principle of the volume, which is the analogue of the well known 3kT/2 in thermal physics. This computation is included in full, for two-dimensional systems, using the quadron description. Following this, quadron tensors and statistics in three dimensional disordered structures are computed and analysed for the first time. A new computer program to achieve this was developed, requiring a new class of solution for cell/pore identification, a custom 3D rendering engine, and several extensions to the quadron description as originally defined. The program was successful in analysing structures from simulations, experimental colloidal suspensions and granular systems of a few thousand grains. By a subsystem-based parallelisation method, much larger data-sets were successfully analysed, including an X-ray tomography experiment with 60,000 non-spherical grains. The quadron statistics of a triaxial shear experiment were computed at multiple stages, and the chirality, a pseudo-vector computed from the structure tensor which measures the deviation from orthogonality of the volume element boundary, develops an anisotropy during the formation of a shear band. While the software performed very well on dense granular packs, its performance in less dense systems or regions, like a shear band, was both slower and less reliable. This was traced to the increased ambiguity in cell structure as the density decreases, and is something that future analysis could improve.

description: We present a real-time, data-driven algorithm to enhance the social-invisibility of robots within crowds. Our approach is based on prior psychological research, which reveals that people notice and--importantly--react negatively to groups of social actors when they have high entitativity, moving in a tight group with similar appearances and trajectories. In order to evaluate that behavior, we performed a user study to develop navigational algorithms that minimize entitativity. This study establishes a mapping between emotional reactions and multi-robot trajectories and appearances and further generalizes the finding across various environmental conditions. We demonstrate the applicability of our entitativity modeling for trajectory computation for active surveillance and dynamic intervention in simulated robot-human interaction scenarios. Our approach empirically shows that various levels of entitative robots can be used to both avoid and influence pedestrians while not eliciting strong emotional reactions, giving multi-robot systems socially-invisibility.

Cet observatoire est constitué de 9 hydrophones autonomes répartis sur 5 sites ; 2 antennes de 3 hydrophones distants de 30 km ont été installées sur 2 des sites (N-CRO et W-KER). Ce réseau avait été déployé en 2009/2010 lors des missions VT109-MD174 (déc.-janv. 2010) et VT112-MD175 (fév. 2010).En raison d'une évacuation sanitaire d'urgence, seuls 7 mouillages sur les 9 ont pu être relevés et redéployés (cf. carte jointe). La mission a donc été réalisée en 2 parties : du 14/01/2011 au 16/02/2011 puis du 17/02/2011 au 20/02/2011.Cette campagne a été réalisée au cours de la campagne MD 185 / INDIEN SUD.
The survival of the Sgr dwarf galaxy and the flatness of the rotation curve of the Galaxy

description: How has the ``fluffy'' core of the Sgr dwarf galaxy survived multiple strong shocks from the tidal force of the Galactic halo and disc since the formation of the core a Hubble time ago? A scenario that Sgr was deflected to its current orbit by the Magellanic Clouds after a rendezvous on the north Galactic pole 2-3 Gyrs ago is examined. It is shown that the conditions of the collision fix both the sense of circulation of Sgr and the LMC around the Galaxy and the slope of the Galactic rotation curve. The model argues that the two orthogonal polar circles traced by a dozen or so Galactic halo dwarf galaxies and globular clusters (LMC-SMC-Magellanic Stream-Draco-Ursa Minor along $l \approx 270^o$ and M54-Ter 7-Ter 8-Arp 2-NGC 2419-Pal 15 along $l \approx 0^o$) are streams of tidal relics from two ancient galaxies which was captured on two intersecting polar rosette orbits by the Galaxy. Our results favor the interpretation of microlensing towards the LMC being due to source or lens stars in tidal features of the Magellanic Clouds. We discuss direct and indirect observations to test the collision scenario.

description: We study the holographic dual of a two parameter family of quantities known as the $α$-$z$ divergences. Many familiar information theoretic quantities occur within this family, including the relative entropy, fidelity, and collision relative entropy. We find explicit bulk expressions for the boundary divergences to second order in a state perturbation whenever $α$ is an integer and $z\geq0$, as well as when $z\in\{0,\infty\}$ and $α\in \mathbb{R}$. Our results apply for perturbations around an arbitrary background state and in any dimension, under the assumption of the equality of bulk and boundary modular flows.

PERFORMANCE OF REPAIRED CONCRETE COLUMNS UNDER AXIAL LOADING

description: The purpose of this research was to determine the performance and axial load capacity of repaired reinforced concrete columns under compressive loading. While various concrete column strengthening methods, using concrete or carbon fiber reinforcing polymer (CFRP) jacketing, have been exhaustively researched, there is an insufficient amount of research regarding the performance of column repairs utilizing concrete removal and replacement. To research this topic, nine reinforced, one-third scale concrete columns were cast; and, six of these columns were repaired with conventional concrete repair methods recommended by the American Concrete Institute’s Guide to Concrete Repair (546-14). Shallow (extending up to the exterior faces of column ties) and deep repairs (extending behind the vertical bars) were performed at the bases of the columns by chipping the concrete with a handheld chipping hammer and patching with a shrinkage compensated repair mortar as it is commonly done for repairing corrosion related spalls. Results of the axial compression loading tests and failure patterns of the repaired columns were compared to that of the control samples. It was found that all repaired concrete columns achieved comparable load capacity values and exhibited the same failure mode as the intact columns.

description: Particles with strange quark content produced in the system 1.93 AGeV $^{58}$Ni on $^{58}$Ni have been investigated at GSI Darmstadt with the FOPI detector system. The correlation of these produced particles was analyzed with respect to the reaction plane. Lambda baryons exhibit a very pronounced sideward flow pattern which is qualitatively similar to the proton flow. However, the kaon ($K^+$,$K^0_S$) flow patterns are significantly different from that of the protons, and their form may be useful to restrict theoretical models on the form of the kaon potential in the nuclear medium.
