description: A series of chiral morpholino [4, 3-a] benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized effectively from (S)-(-)-2-(α-hydroxyethyl)-benzimidazole and phenacyl bromide derivatives using an efficient synthetic protocol in good yields and moderate diastereoselectivities. The substrate controlled diastereoselective route makes available structurally attractive morpholine-fused benzimidazole derivatives with two chiral centers in enantiomerically enriched forms. The preliminary biological evaluation shows scope for potential applications.

description: Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is one of the enabling technologies for 5G networks that support proximity-based service (ProSe) for wireless network communications. This paper proposes a power control algorithm based on the Nash equilibrium and game theory to eliminate the interference between the cellular user device and D2D links. This leads to reliable connectivity with minimal power consumption in wireless communication. The power control in D2D is modeled as a non-cooperative game. Each device is allowed to independently select and transmit its power to maximize (or minimize) user utility. The aim is to guide user devices to converge with the Nash equilibrium by establishing connectivity with network resources. The proposed algorithm with pricing factors is used for power consumption and reduces overall interference of D2Ds communication. The proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of the energy efficiency of the average power consumption, the number of D2D communication, and the number of iterations. Besides, the algorithm has a relatively fast convergence with the Nash Equilibrium rate. It guarantees that the user devices can achieve their required Quality of Service (QoS) by adjusting the residual cost coefficient and residual energy factor. Simulation results show that the power control shows a significant reduction in power consumption that has been achieved by approximately 20% compared with algorithms in [11].

description: Magnetic phase transitions are a test bed for exploring the physics of non-equilibrium phenomena in condensed matter, which become even more complex when topological constraints are involved. In particular, the investigation of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices offers insight into fundamental processes of topological-charge creation and annihilation upon changing the magnetic state. Nonetheless, the exact physical mechanisms behind these phase transitions remain unresolved. Here, we have systematically compared ultra-thin films with isotropic and anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI), demonstrating a nearly identical behavior in technologically relevant materials such as interfacial systems. We numerically show that in perfect systems skyrmion lattices can be inverted in a field-induced first-order phase transition. The existence of even a single defect, however, replaces the inversion with a second-order phase transition of defect-induced lattice melting. This radical change in the system's behavior from a first-order to a second-order phase transition signifies the importance of such an analysis for all realistic systems in order to correctly interpret experimental data. Our results shed light on complex topological charge annihilation mechanisms that mediate transitions between magnetic states and pave the way for an experimental realization of these phenomena.

description: In early February 1986, Archaeological Research Services, Inc. (ARS) performed an archaeological survey of an approximately 525 acre parcel of Salt River Project-owned land located in northwest Tempe, Maricopa County, Arizona. The results of this survey were reported in March 1986. A portion of the parcel, the former "Legend City" property, was unsurveyable at the time of field investigation due to extensive blacktop and other ground cover, and ARS recommended that this property be archaeologically surveyed at such time as these surface obstructions were removed. In late October, Salt River Project notified ARS that the blacktop and other recent cultural remains had been removed from the property, and authorized ARS to perform an archaeological survey. This survey was performed by Lyle M. Stone on December 11, 1986, and involved walking across the approximately 51 acre parcel in north-south oriented parallel transects spaced 50 to 75 ft apart in order to observe surface evidence of cultural resources. In addition to the field survey, archaeological and historical site files and records had been previously consulted to determine if cultural resources had been previously located on the parcel. At the time of field investigation for this study, all existing blacktop and other recent cultural remains (e.g., "Legend City" facilities) had been removed and the ground surface was cleared for inspection.

description: We consider the problem of making inferences on the common mean of several heterogeneous log-normal populations. We apply the parametric bootstrap (PB) approach and the method of variance estimate recovery (MOVER) to construct confidence intervals for the log-normal common mean. We then compare the performances of the proposed confidence intervals with the existing confidence intervals via an extensive simulation study. Simulation results show that our proposed MOVER and PB confidence intervals can be recommended generally for different sample sizes and number of populations.

description: Existing oriented object detection methods commonly use metric AP$_{50}$ to measure the performance of the model. We argue that AP$_{50}$ is inherently unsuitable for oriented object detection due to its large tolerance in angle deviation. Therefore, we advocate using high-precision metric, e.g. AP$_{75}$, to measure the performance of models. In this paper, we propose an Aspect Ratio Sensitive Oriented Object Detector with Transformer, termed ARS-DETR, which exhibits a competitive performance in high-precision oriented object detection. Specifically, a new angle classification method, calling Aspect Ratio aware Circle Smooth Label (AR-CSL), is proposed to smooth the angle label in a more reasonable way and discard the hyperparameter that introduced by previous work (e.g. CSL). Then, a rotated deformable attention module is designed to rotate the sampling points with the corresponding angles and eliminate the misalignment between region features and sampling points. Moreover, a dynamic weight coefficient according to the aspect ratio is adopted to calculate the angle loss. Comprehensive experiments on several challenging datasets show that our method achieves competitive performance on the high-precision oriented object detection task.

description: In topological field theories determinants of maps with negative as well as positive eigenvalues arise. We give a generalisation of the zeta-regularisation technique to derive expressions for the phase and scaling-dependence of these determinants. For theories on odd-dimensional manifolds a simple formula for the scaling dependence is obtained in terms of the dimensions of certain cohomology spaces. This enables a non-perturbative feature of Chern-Simons gauge theory to be reproduced by path-integral methods.

description: Heart failure is a serious and life-threatening condition that can lead to elevated pressure in the left ventricle. Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure (PAWP) is an important surrogate marker indicating high pressure in the left ventricle. PAWP is determined by Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) but it is an invasive procedure. A non-invasive method is useful in quickly identifying high-risk patients from a large population. In this work, we develop a tensor learning-based pipeline for identifying PAWP from multimodal cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This pipeline extracts spatial and temporal features from high-dimensional scans. For quality control, we incorporate an epistemic uncertainty-based binning strategy to identify poor-quality training samples. To improve the performance, we learn complementary information by integrating features from multimodal data: cardiac MRI with short-axis and four-chamber views, and Electronic Health Records. The experimental analysis on a large cohort of $1346$ subjects who underwent the RHC procedure for PAWP estimation indicates that the proposed pipeline has a diagnostic value and can produce promising performance with significant improvement over the baseline in clinical practice (i.e., $Δ$AUC $=0.10$, $Δ$Accuracy $=0.06$, and $Δ$MCC $=0.39$). The decision curve analysis further confirms the clinical utility of our method.
Extensions of the Principal Fiber Bundle Model for Locomoting Robots

description: Our goal is to establish a rigorous formulation for modeling the locomotion of a broad class of robotic systems. Recent research has identifi ed a number of systems with the structure of a principal fiber bundle. This framework has led to a number of tools for analysis and motion planning applicable to various robotic confi gurations in diff erent environments, but it also requires a number of assumptions that limit its usefulness to certain \idealized" systems. Systems that cannot be fully described with a principal fi ber bundle or cannot make full use of the subsequent tools include those whose joints are not fully controllable, those with control inputs or dynamics external to their mechanism, and those whose external con figurations do not form
a symmetry group. In addition, the motion planning techniques derived from this structure have traditionally assumed a mapping from internal joint confi gurations to
external position con figurations. The reverse of this mapping will be discussed in this thesis, as well as the analysis and solutions for problems violating each of the above
assumptions in turn. For each case, we introduce one or two motivating examples of robotic systems and discuss novel locomotive characteristics that do not previously
appear under the standard assumptions. This thesis expands the applicability of the principal fiber bundle model, as well as derivative tools for analysis and motion
planning, to a larger variety of locomoting systems.

description: We study the neutrino-induced production of nuclides in explosive supernova nucleosynthesis for progenitor stars with solar metallicity including neutrino nucleus reactions for all nuclei with charge numbers $Z < 76$ with average neutrino energies in agreement with modern Supernova simulations. Considering progenitors with initial main sequence masses between 13~M$_\odot$ and 30~M$_\odot$, we find a significant production of $^{11}$B, $^{138}$La, and $^{180}$Ta by neutrino nucleosynthesis, despite the significantly reduced neutrino energies. The production of $^{19}$F turns out to be more sensitive to the progenitor mass and structure than to the $ν$ process. With our complete set of cross sections we have identified effects of the $ν$~process on several stable nuclei including $^{33}$S, $^{40}$Ar, $^{41}$K, $^{59}$Co, and $^{113}$In at the 10\% level. Neutrino-induced reactions contribute to a similar extent to the production of radioactive ${}^{26}$Al and increase the yield of $^{22}$Na by 50\%. Future $γ$~ray astronomy missions may reach the precision at which the contribution from the $ν$~process becomes relevant. We find that the production of $^{22}$Na by the $ν$~process could explain the Ne-E(L) component of meteoritic graphite grains. The $ν$~process enhances the yield of $^{36}$Cl and we point out that the resulting $^{36}$Cl/$^{35}$Cl ratio is in agreement with the values infrerred for the early solar system. Our extended set of neutrino-nucleus interactions also allows us to exclude any further effects of the $ν$ process on stable nuclei and to quantify the effects on numerous, hitherto unconsidered radioactive nuclei, e.g., $^{36}$Cl, $^{72}$As, $^{84}$Rb, and $^{88}$Y.

description: In this paper, we report the theoretical investigation and experimental realization of a new spin-gapless semiconductor (SGSs) compound CoFeMnSn belonging to the family of quaternary Heusler alloys. Through the use of several ground-state energy calculations, the most stable structure has been identified. Calculations of the spin-polarized band structure in optimized structure's reveals the SGS nature of the compound. The compound form in an ordered crystal structure and exhibit a high ferromagnetic transition temperature (T$_{\rm C}$ = 560 K), making the material excellent for room temperature applications. Adherence of saturation magnetization to the Slater-Pauling rule, together with the nearly temperature-independent resistivity, conductivity, and carrier concentration of the compound in the temperature regime 5$-$300 K along with the low value of anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) further confirms the SGS nature. Theoretical calculations also reveal the robustness of the SGS state due to lattice contraction and one can obtain a high value of intrinsic AHC using hole doping. Combined SGS and topological properties of the compound make CoFeMnSn suitable for spintronics and magneto-electronics devices.

description: Quantitative theory of interbilayer interactions is essential to interpret x-ray scattering data and to elucidate these interactions for biologically relevant systems. For this purpose Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to obtain pressure P and positional fluctuations sigma. A new method, called Fourier Monte-Carlo (FMC), that is based on a Fourier representation of the displacement field, is developed and its superiority over the standard method is demonstrated. The FMC method is applied to simulating a single membrane between two hard walls, which models a stack of lipid bilayer membranes with non-harmonic interactions. Finite size scaling is demonstrated and used to obtain accurate values for P and sigma in the limit of a large continuous membrane. The results are compared with perturbation theory approximations, and numerical differences are found in the non-harmonic case. Therefore, the FMC method, rather than the approximations, should be used for establishing the connection between model potentials and observable quantities, as well as for pure modeling purposes.

description: Candida albicans is a commensal fungus that can cause life-threatening illnesses for those that are immunocompromised, have had major surgery, or have in-dwelling medical devices. C. albicans lives on most mucosal surfaces in the body where it employs drastically
different transcriptional patterns depending on which body site it inhabits, or whether it acts as a commensal or a pathogenic organism. The ability of C. albicans to alter its
transcriptional landscape to live in these diverse niches within the body is a testament to its genetic flexibility. This thesis will attempt to understand the functions of three
distinct transcription factors Mig1, Mig2, and Zfu2 that enable C. albicans to coordinate proper gene expression in vivo and in vitro. These transcription factors play distinct roles in controlling proper gene expression in two different contexts. Zfu2 may control gene expression in the context of in vivo biofilm formation, while Mig1 and Mig2 are repressors of alternative carbon source utilization genes and control cell wall integrity. All three of these transcription factors play a role in virulence and therefore are of importance to study.

description: Stationary solitary waves are studied in an array of $M$ linearly-coupled one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) by means of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Solitary wave solutions with the character of overlapping dark solitons, Josephson vortex - antivortex arrays, and arrays of half-dark solitons are constructed for $M>2$ from known solutions for two coupled BECs. Additional solutions resembling vortex dipoles and rarefaction pulses are found numerically. Stability analysis of the solitary waves reveals that overlapping dark solitons can become unstable and susceptible to decay into arrays of Josephson vortices. The Josephson vortex arrays have mixed stability but for all parameters we find at least one stationary solitary wave configuration that is dynamically stable. The different families of nonlinear standing waves bifurcate from one another. In particular we demonstrate that Josephson-vortex arrays bifurcate from dark soliton solutions at instability thresholds. The stability thresholds for dark soliton and Josephson-vortex type solutions are provided, suggesting the feasibility of realization with optical lattice experiments.

description: The rising presence of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on public roads necessitates the development of advanced control strategies that account for the unpredictable nature of human-driven vehicles (HVs). This study introduces a learning-based method for modeling HV behavior, combining a traditional first-principles approach with a Gaussian process (GP) learning component. This hybrid model enhances the accuracy of velocity predictions and provides measurable uncertainty estimates. We leverage this model to develop a GP-based model predictive control (GP-MPC) strategy to improve safety in mixed vehicle platoons by integrating uncertainty assessments into distance constraints. Comparative simulations between our GP-MPC approach and a conventional model predictive control (MPC) strategy reveal that the GP-MPC ensures safer distancing and more efficient travel within the mixed platoon. By incorporating sparse GP modeling for HVs and a dynamic GP prediction in MPC, we significantly reduce the computation time of GP-MPC, making it only marginally longer than standard MPC and approximately 100 times faster than previous models not employing these techniques. Our findings underscore the effectiveness of learning-based HV modeling in enhancing safety and efficiency in mixed-traffic environments involving AV and HV interactions.

description: Generating correlated photon pairs at the nanoscale is a prerequisite to creating highly integrated optoelectronic circuits that perform quantum computing tasks based on heralded single-photons. Here we demonstrate fulfilling this requirement with a generic tip-surface metal junction. When the junction is luminescing under DC bias, inelastic tunneling events of single electrons produce a photon stream in the visible spectrum whose super-bunching index is 17 when measured with a 53 picosecond instrumental resolution limit. These photon bunches contain true photon pairs of plasmonic origin, distinct from accidental photon coincidences. The effect is electrically rather than optically driven - completely absent are pulsed lasers, down-conversions, and four-wave mixing schemes. This discovery has immediate and profound implications for quantum optics and cryptography, notwithstanding its fundamental importance to basic science and its ushering in of heralded photon experiments on the nanometer scale.

Monsieur Francony, notaire de cette ville, va à Montpellier par curiosité et passe à Nîmes. Je profite de sa complaisance pour vous faire savoir que le sieur Mazuel orfevre de la rue des Gantiers est possesseur depuis huit jours d'une médaille d'or trouvée près de Saint-Rémi. Il l'a mise au feu et semble sortir du moule, si bien elle est conservée. Elle est à peu près de l'épaisseur et du diamètre d'une pièce de douze sols. Il me l'a montré hier et la pesa devant moi. Elle pèse un gros et douze grains. D'un côté est la tête d'un empereur entravée ou ceinte d'un tour de perle. La légende est ainsi : D.N. THEODOSIVS P.F.AVG dans le revers est une espèce de soldat ou capitaine vêtu à la romaine, foulant au pied un homme qui regarde son vainqueur en suppliant. Le vainqueur tient de la main gauche une renommée et de la droite une haste ou pique dont voici exactement la figure, que je ne crois pas être le labarum. La légende est ainsi: VICTORIA AVG. CCL. Peut-être ne rends-je pas bien les trois dernières lettres. Dans le champ d'un côté est la lettre S, de l'autre un M et sans l'exergue ou dans le bas ce mot ou ces lettres COMOB. Quoique j'eusse mis ici les points, il n'y en aucun sur la médaille. Monsieur de Lioncel a eu quelque envie de la voir, mais ayant prié Monsieur Manuel d'attendre votre réponse, je vous prie de me faire savoir par Monsieur Francony, qui repassera dimanche à Nîmes, et qui vous dira en vous rendant cette lettre s'il loge à l'Orange comme il se le propose. Je vous prie, dis-je, de me faire savoir si vous voulez l'acheter et dans ce cas le prix que vous voulez y donner, car ledit orfèvre en veut quelque chose de plus que le poids de l'or. Sur vos ordres, je la laisserai ou la prendrai et dans ce dernier cas je tirerai aussi bas que je pourrai et je paierai sur le champ, sauf à me rembourser à la première occasion. Soyez persuadé, Monsieur que j'aurai toujours du zèle et une vivacité provençale à courir après tout ce que je m'imaginerai pouvoir vous faire plaisir. Gardez le sceau tant que vous en aurez besoin, il ne risque rien entre vos mains. Je vous renvoie votre boîte que j'avais oublié de remettre à la personne qui vous remit ma lettre samedi et m'a rendu votre réponse. Conservez s.v.p votre santé. Elle est précieuse à la République des lettres, à ceux qui ont le bonheur de vous connaître et en particulier à

description: Tumours have been shown to have a number of mechanisms to suppress immunosurveillance allowing them to survive and grow. One of these mechanisms involves expression of molecules which inhibit T cells such as the molecules involved in the PD-1 pathway. PD-1 is expressed on activated T cells and one of its ligands, PD-L1 has been shown to be expressed on a wide range of cell types including antigen presenting cells (APCs), endothelial cells as well as tumour cells. This pathway is important in maintaining T cell tolerance and homeostasis and as a result we hypothesised that this pathway may be an important target for immunotherapy in ovarian cancer. Ascites and blood from patients with ovarian cancer were collected over a two year period and analysis into the phenotype of immune cells and the cytokine content of the ascites was carried out. The major finding during this analysis was that APCs from ascites and blood of patients with malignant cancer showed a significantly higher level of PD-L1 than on APCs from patients with benign/borderline cancer. Furthermore the monocytes from ascites could suppress T cell proliferation in a co-culture which could be partially reversed when blocking PD-1. The cytokine content of the tumour revealed high levels of immunosuppressive (TGF-β and IL-10 correlated with malignancy) and pro-angiogenic cytokines which may contribute to the suppression of T cell proliferation observed when stimulated T cells were cultured in the ascites supernatant. These cytokines may also be responsible for the upregulation of PD-L1 observed on normal blood monocytes following culture in the ascites supernatant. Real time PCR analysis of tumour mass mRNA revealed higher levels of PD-L1 in borderline and malignant mRNA compared to normal ovary and flow cytometry showed that PD-L1 is expressed on ovarian cancer cell lines of serous histology. The second part of this project concentrated on the cloning of a PD-1 KDEL construct. PD-1 KDEL was to be used as a novel mechanism to down regulate PD-1 ligands on ovarian cancer cell lines. The construct was not successful in knocking down expression of PD-L1 on cancer cell lines and reasons were put forward for this lack of functionality. Each reason was tested experimentally and a hypothesis is put forward as to the reason of its lack of function. Alternatives to PD-1 KDEL were also tested.

description: This paper considers the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear dynamic string equation of Kirchhoff-type with time-varying coefficients. The objective of this work is to develop a time domain discretization algorithm capable of approximating a solution to this initial-boundary value problem. To this end, a symmetric three-layer semi-discrete scheme is employed with respect to the temporal variable, wherein the value of a nonlinear term is evaluated at the middle node point. This approach enables the numerical solutions per temporal step to be obtained by inverting the linear operators, yielding a system of second-order linear ordinary differential equations. Local convergence of the proposed scheme is established, and it achieves quadratic convergence regarding the step size of the discretization of time on the local temporal interval. We have conducted several numerical experiments using the proposed algorithm for various test problems to validate its performance. It can be said that the obtained numerical results are in accordance with the theoretical findings.
description: In the introduction section, we have included discussions on the physical relevance and applications of the problem. Additionally, we have completed a study on the stability of the three-point system obtained through the spatial discretization algorithm. The literature list has been expanded, with a focus on containing recent applications in engineering and physics
Testing SDLCQ in 2+1 dimensions

description: The SDLCQ regularization is known to explicitly preserve supersymmetry in 1+1 dimensions. To test this property in higher dimensions, we consider supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on R x S^1 x S^1. In particular, we choose one of the compact directions to be light-like and another to be space-like. This theory is totally finite, and thus we can solve for bound state wave functions and masses numerically without renormalizing. We present the masses as functions of the longitudinal and transverse resolutions and show that the masses converge rapidly in both resolutions. We study the behavior of the spectrum as a function of the coupling and find that at strong coupling there is a stable, well-defined spectrum which we present. We discuss also the massless spectrum and find several unphysical states that decouple at large transverse resolution.

description: The unsteady Poiseuille flow of Carreau-Yasuda fluid in a pipe, caused by a variable pressure gradient, is studied theoretically. In a particular case, the steady flow is considered separately. It is proved that at some values of the viscosity model parameters, the problem has a generalized solution, while at others - classical solution. For the latter, a necessary and sufficient condition is found, which depends on the maximum pressure gradient and on the Carreau-Yasuda model parameters.

description: In this paper, we prove a new generalized Mikhlin multiplier theorem whose conditions are given with respect to fractional derivatives in integral forms with two different integration intervals. We also discuss the connection between fractional derivatives and stable processes and prove a version of Mikhlin theorem under a condition given in terms of the infinitesimal generator of symmetric stable process. The classical Mikhlin theorem is shown to be a corollary of this new generalized version in this paper.

description: A new convenient method of describing flat convex compact sets is proposed. It generalizes classical trigonometric functions $\sin$ and $\cos$. Apparently, this method may be very useful for explicit description of solutions of optimal control problems with two-dimensional control. Using this method a series of sub-Finsler problems with two-dimensional control lying in an arbitrary convex set $Ω$ is investigated. Namely, problems on the Heisenberg, Engel, and Cartan groups and also Grushin's and Martinet's cases are considered. A particular attention is paid to the case when $Ω$ is a polygon.

Modelling shell and oscillation mark formation during continuous casting via explicit incorporation of slag infiltration
Creators: name: Ramirez Lopez, Pavel Ernesto
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The development of reliable numerical models is vital to improve the quality of continuously cast products and to increase the productivity of the casting machine. In order to provide accurate predictions, these models must include detailed descriptions of the physical phenomena occurring inside the mould, such as metal flow, heat transfer and solidification. However, these topics are often treated separately during modelling due to their complexity. This has a negative impact on the accuracy of the predictions. To address this issue, a numerical model capable of coupling the flow dynamics with both the heat transfer to the mould walls and solidification has been developed. The 2‐dimenional model is based on a commercial CFD code that solves the Navier‐Stokes Equations coupled with a Volume of Fluid interface tracking technique for the multiphase system slag‐steel‐air under transient conditions within a conventional slab mould. The use of an extremely fine mesh in the meniscus region (~50 μm) allows, for the first time, the explicit calculation of liquid slag infiltration into the shell‐mould gap. Heat transfer through the solid mould faces and mould oscillation were also included in the model to provide a more realistic representation of the process. The model developed was tested in two case studies. In the first case, the predicted values were compared to prior numerical models and laboratory experiments directed to casting of conventional slabs. Excellent agreement was found for characteristics such as slag film development and heat flux variations during mould oscillation. Furthermore, predicted values for shell thickness, consumption and heat flux were also found to be in good agreement with plant measurements. The findings of this case study provided improved, fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in slag infiltration and solidification inside the mould and how these affect key process parameters, such as powder consumption and shell growth. The second case study consisted of a sensitivity study, where casting conditions (e.g. casting speed, mould cooling, steel/slag properties and oscillation settings) were varied in the simulations to determine their effect on both powder consumption and the formation of defects. The simulations predicted the initial formation of typical casting defects known as oscillation marks, without the aid of any external data fitting. The key result drawn from the sensitivity study was the determination of simple rules for the calculation of consumption, heat flux and defect formation as a function of the casting conditions. This opens the possibility of using the model as a diagnostic tool and for process optimisation.

The existence of a low odd-parity L=1 excited state with the spins of the two electrons coupled to s1=1 and the two positrons coupled to s2=0 (or s1=0 and s2=1) and a low even-parity L=0 excited state with s1=s2=1 have been predicted. The discussion is generalized to 2-dimensional (e+e+e-e-) systems.
