description: The advent of foundation models signals a new era in artificial intelligence. The Segment Anything Model (SAM) is the first foundation model for image segmentation. In this study, we evaluate SAM's ability to segment features from eye images recorded in virtual reality setups. The increasing requirement for annotated eye-image datasets presents a significant opportunity for SAM to redefine the landscape of data annotation in gaze estimation. Our investigation centers on SAM's zero-shot learning abilities and the effectiveness of prompts like bounding boxes or point clicks. Our results are consistent with studies in other domains, demonstrating that SAM's segmentation effectiveness can be on-par with specialized models depending on the feature, with prompts improving its performance, evidenced by an IoU of 93.34% for pupil segmentation in one dataset. Foundation models like SAM could revolutionize gaze estimation by enabling quick and easy image segmentation, reducing reliance on specialized models and extensive manual annotation.

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning network L1-(2D)2PCANet for face recognition, which is based on L1-norm-based two-directional two-dimensional principal component analysis (L1-(2D)2PCA). In our network, the role of L1-(2D)2PCA is to learn the filters of multiple convolution layers. After the convolution layers, we deploy binary hashing and block-wise histogram for pooling. We test our network on some benchmark facial datasets YALE, AR, Extended Yale B, LFW-a and FERET with CNN, PCANet, 2DPCANet and L1-PCANet as comparison. The results show that the recognition performance of L1-(2D)2PCANet in all tests is better than baseline networks, especially when there are outliers in the test data. Owing to the L1-norm, L1-2D2PCANet is robust to outliers and changes of the training images.

description: We present two dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of 2D Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) modes, which are exact nonlinear steady-state solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson equations, on a 2D plane perpendicular to a background magnetic field, with a cylindrically symmetric electric potential localized on the plane. PIC simulations are initialized using analytic electron distributions and electric potentials from the theory. We confirm the validity of such solutions using high-resolutions up to a 2048^2 grid. We show that the solutions are dynamically stable for a stronger background magnetic field, while keeping other parameters of the model fixed, but become unstable when the field strength is weaker than a certain value. When a mode becomes unstable, we observe that the instability begins with the excitation of azimuthal electrostatic waves that ends with a spiral pattern.

description: The derivation of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos by Hardy and Melrose, Phys.Rev.D v.54, p.6491 (1996) is based on a flawed analysis of the ponderomotive force concept. Their conclusions also contain an erroneous physical assumption related to the neutrino emission in supernovae. A correct analysis shows the importance of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos in type II supernovae explosions.

Dysfunction of contractile proteins in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Creators: name: Bayliss, Christopher Richard
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The contractility of human heart samples from patients diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were studied using a quantitative in vitro motility assay. The aim of this work was to investigate the molecular phenotype of thin filament proteins in the HCM heart. Three biopsy samples with thin filament mutations were studied alongside samples acquired from a subset of HCM patients classified with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The primary effect of thin filament mutations was investigated by reconstituting Factin with ACTC E99K into thin filament with donor troponin. The E99K actin filaments had a higher Ca2+-sensitivity then filaments composed of donor F-actin (with no mutation) (EC50 E99K/donor 0.78±0.14, p=0.02). A similar higher Ca2+- sensitivity was found when recombinant TnT K273N was incorporated into donor troponin and compared to native donor troponin (EC50 K273N/donor 0.54±0.17, p=0.006). Troponin was also purified from HOCM heart samples. This troponin did not contain a causative mutation but behaved abnormally in the response of thin filament Ca2+- sensitivity to changes in TnI phosphorylation (EC50 PKA-HOCM/HOCM 1.08±0.25, p=0.3) as mean TnI phosphorylation of PKA-HOCM was 1.56 molsPi/molsTnI and HOCM was 0.29 molsPi/molsTnI. Thus, thin filament Ca2+-sensitivity was uncoupled from TnI phosphorylation in thin filaments with HOCM troponin. When the native TnT subunits were replaced with recombinant TnT this coupling was restored (EC50 HOCM rTnT/HOCM 0.63±0.26, p=0.03). It would appear that the result of HCM-causing mutations are two-fold. The primary effect of the HCM-causing mutations is to increase thin filament Ca2+-sensitivity. However, the contraction machinery appears to be the target of secondary modifications, that occur due to the pathology of the disease. Resulting in further changes, such as changes in protein composition and post-translational modification. One major consequence of these modifications may be to uncouple the relatively labile regulation of thin filament Ca2+-sensitivity by TnI phosphorylation.
Non-perturbative monodromies in N=2 heterotic string vacua

description: We address non-perturbative effects and duality symmetries in $N=2$ heterotic string theories in four dimensions. Specifically, we consider how each of the four lines of enhanced gauge symmetries in the perturbative moduli space of $N=2$ $T_2$ compactifications is split into 2 lines where monopoles and dyons become massless. This amounts to considering non-perturbative effects originating from enhanced gauge symmetries at the microscopic string level. We show that the perturbative and non-perturbative monodromies consistently lead to the results of Seiberg-Witten upon identication of a consistent truncation procedure from local to rigid $N=2$ supersymmetry.

Electronic Friction Near Metal Surface: Incorporating Nuclear Quantum Effect with Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics

description: Molecular dynamics with electronic friction (MDEF) approach can describe nonadiabatic effects accurately at metal surfaces in the weak nonadiabatic limit. That being said, MDEF treats nuclear motion classically, such that the nuclear quantum effects are missing completely in the approach. To address this limitation, we combine electronic friction with Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics (RPMD). In particular, we apply the averaged electronic friction from the metal surface to the centroid mode of the ring polymer. We benchmark our approach against quantum dynamics to show that electronic friction with RPMD (EF-RPMD) can capture zero-point energy as well as transition dynamics accurately. In addition, we show EF-RPMD can correctly predict the electronic transfer rate near metal surfaces in the tunneling limit as well as the barrier crossing limit. We expect our approach will be very useful to study nonadiabatic dynamics near metal surface when nuclear quantum effects become essential.
Abstraction in Model Checking Multi-Agent Systems
Creators: name: Russo, Francesco
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis presents existential abstraction techniques for multi-agent systems preserving temporal-epistemic specifications. Multi-agent systems, defined in the interpreted system frameworks, are abstracted by collapsing the local states and actions of each agent. The goal of abstraction is to reduce the state space of the system under investigation in order to cope with the state explosion problem that impedes the verification of very large state space systems. Theoretical results show that the resulting abstract system simulates the concrete one. Preservation and correctness theorems are proved in this thesis. These theorems assure that if a temporal-epistemic formula holds on the abstract system, then the formula also holds on the concrete one. These results permit to verify temporal-epistemic formulas in abstract systems instead of the concrete ones, therefore saving time and space in the verification process. In order to test the applicability, usefulness, suitability, power and effectiveness of the abstraction method presented, two different implementations are presented: a tool for data-abstraction and one for variable-abstraction. The first technique achieves a state space reduction by collapsing the values of the domains of the system variables. The second technique performs a reduction on the size of the model by collapsing groups of two or more variables. Therefore, the abstract system has a reduced number of variables. Each new variable in the abstract system takes values belonging to a new domain built automatically by the tool. Both implementations perform abstraction in a fully automatic way. They operate on multi agents models specified in a formal language, called ISPL (Interpreted System Programming Language). This is the input language for MCMAS, a model checker for multi-agent systems. The output is an ISPL file as well (with a reduced state space). This thesis also presents several suitable temporal-epistemic examples to evaluate both techniques. The experiments show good results and point to the attractiveness of the temporal-epistemic abstraction techniques developed in this thesis. In particular, the contributions of the thesis are the following ones: • We produced correctness and preservation theoretical results for existential abstraction. • We introduced two algorithms to perform data-abstraction and variable-abstraction on multi-agent systems. • We developed two software toolkits for automatic abstraction on multi-agent scenarios: one tool performing data-abstraction and the second performing variable-abstraction. • We evaluated the methodologies introduced in this thesis by running experiments on several multi-agent system examples.
3-point functions of universal scalars in maximal SCFTs at large N

description: We compute all 3-point functions of the ``universal'' scalar operators contained in the interacting, maximally supersymmetric CFTs at large N by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. These SCFTs are related to the low energy description of M5, M2 and D3 branes, and the common set of universal scalars corresponds through the AdS/CFT relation to the fluctuations of the metric and the magnetic potential along the internal manifold. For the interacting (0,2) SCFT_6 at large N, which is related to M5 branes, this set of scalars is complete, while additional non-universal scalar operators are present in the d=4, N=4 super Yang-Mills theory and in the N=8 SCFT_3, related to D3 and M2 branes, respectively.

Classification and Anomaly Detection for Astronomical Datasets
Creators: name: Henrion, Marc Yves Romain
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This work develops two new statistical techniques for astronomical problems: a star / galaxy separator for the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) and a novel anomaly detection method for cross-matched astronomical datasets. The star / galaxy separator is a statistical classification method which outputs class membership probabilities rather than class labels and allows the use of prior knowledge about the source populations. Deep Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data from the multiply imaged Stripe 82 region is used to check the results from our classifier, which compares favourably with the UKIDSS pipeline classification algorithm. The anomaly detection method addresses the problem posed by objects having different sets of recorded variables in cross-matched datasets. This prevents the use of methods unable to handle missing values and makes direct comparison between objects difficult. For each source, our method computes anomaly scores in subspaces of the observed feature space and combines them to an overall anomaly score. The proposed technique is very general and can easily be used in applications other than astronomy. The properties and performance of our method are investigated using both real and simulated datasets.

description: A formula of Doetsch ({\em Math. Zeitschr.} {\bf 42}, 263 (1937)) is generalized and used to numerically invert the one-sided Laplace transform ${\hat C}(β)$. The necessary input is only the values of ${\hat C}(β)$ on the positive real axis. The method is applicable provided that the functions $\hat{C}(β)$ belong to the function space $L^2_α$ defined by the condition that $ G(x) = e^{xα}\hat{C}(e^x),~ α> 0$ has to be square integrable. This space includes sums of exponential decays ${\hat C}(β)=\sum_n^{\infty}a_n e^{-βE_n}$, e.g. partition functions with $a_n = 1$. In practice, the inversion algorithm consists of two subsequent fast Fourier transforms. High accuracy inverted data can be obtained, provided that the signal is also highly accurate. The method is demonstrated for a harmonic partition function and resonant transmission through a barrier. We find accurately inverted functions even in the presence of noise.

description: A strictly strategy-proof mechanism is one that asks agents to use strictly dominant strategies. In the canonical one-dimensional mechanism design setting with private values, we show that strict strategy-proofness is equivalent to strict monotonicity plus the envelope formula, echoing a well-known characterisation of (weak) strategy-proofness. A consequence is that strategy-proofness can be made strict by an arbitrarily small modification, so that strictness is 'essentially for free'.

J'ai essuyé, Monsieur, un refus invincible de la part du libraire de qui vous désiriez avoir les feuilles du 2e volume du recueil des antiquités de M. de Caylus, qui contiennent les inscriptions greques des marbres de la bibliothèque du roi: et nous ne pouvions guères nous attendre à autre chose. Ces sortes de gens ne négligent pas ainsi leurs intérêts, et sçavent forcer à acheter tout un volume, à quelqu'un qui n'auroit besoin que d'une ligne. Mais j'ai trouvé le moyen et la voye de nous passer de ce libraire. J'ai parlé de votre désir à M. de Caylus même. Il vous connoit de réputation; et je sçais combien il aime à obliger les gens de lettres, de manière qu'il m'a aussitôt offert le 2d volume entier. J'ai accepté son offre; et deux jours après il a fait porter le volume tout broché à l'académie et l'a fait mettre à ma place. J'ai trouvé ce présent en y arrivant; dont je l'ai excessivement remercié et en votre nom et au mien. Vous pouvez si vous le jugez à propos, joindre à ce premier remerciement une lettre particulière. J'ai aussitôt après fait porter le volume chez le libraire qui est ici le correspondant et le commissionnaire du sr Gaude, afin de vous le faire parvenir. Il s'est heureusement trouvé qu'il faisoit un envoi pour lui, et qu'il doit faire partir une caisse de livres qui le regardoient mardi prochain 24 de ce mois. Votre volume y sera dedans. Ainsi prévenez en le sr Gaude, pour qu'il vous le remette à l'arrivée et ouverture de la caisse. Voilà, mon cher monsieur, quelle a été toute ma négociation. Je compte qu'elle vous sera agréable.

Au reste je vous dois bien des remerciemens de la peine que vous avez prise de dessiner la petite médaille de M. Boudon. Le dessein est très bien fait, et me paroit fort exact. Il n'appartient qu'à vous de réunir ainsi tous les talens à la fois.

description: Most of the recent power line communication (PLC) systems and standards, both narrow-band and broadband, are based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). This multiplexing scheme however suffers from the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which can considerably impact the energy efficiency, size and cost of PLC modems as well as cause electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues. This paper investigates the performance of vector OFDM (VOFDM), which has inherently better PAPR properties, over non-Gaussian broadband PLC channels equipped with two nonlinear preprocessors at the receiver. In addition, the low PAPR property of the VOFDM system is exploited to further enhance the efficiency of the nonlinear preprocessors. The achievable gains are studied in terms of the complementary cumulative distribution function of the PAPR, probability of noise detection error and the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the nonlinear preprocessors. For comparison's sake, the performance of conventional OFDM systems is also presented throughout the paper. Results reveal that the proposed system is able to provide up to 2 dB saving in the transmit power relative to the conventional OFDM under same system conditions, which eventually also translates into a system that is more resilient to EMC limits, reduced cost and size of PLC modems. It is also shown that the achievable gains become more significant as the vector block (VB) size of the VOFDM system is increased.
Risk awareness in secondary stroke prevention
Creators: name: Slark, Julia Suzanne
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Stroke is the single largest cause of disability and second highest cause of death globally. It is estimated that 10 million people a year are affected by stroke in the United Kingdom (UK). Of the 130,000 annual new stroke occurrences in the UK, one third will go on to have a further stroke. Recurrent stroke is more likely to be fatal than first stroke and survivors are more likely to be left with major disability. Many stroke patients do not adhere to secondary prevention strategies due to complex reasons, including lack of appreciation of their high risk of a secondary cardiovascular event. Long-term secondary prevention remains a desired goal in the management of stroke survivors, however, studies have shown that current strategies are not routinely and universally working. Hypothesis: Raising awareness of secondary stroke risk may improve stroke survivor’s adherence to secondary prevention strategies after stroke. Results: A survey of the general public (n=1019) and a population-based study of over 600 stroke survivors found that knowledge about Blood Pressure (BP) and stroke risk factors was poor in high risk populations. Only 55% of stroke survivors were able to cite any well-known vascular risk factors. However, those who were appropriately risk-aware significantly improved their health behaviour post-stroke by consuming less alcohol (P<0.001), less salt (P=0.05) and eating a healthy diet (P=0.02). Further, In a Randomised Controlled Trial setting an intervention to increase risk awareness was successful in increasing awareness (P=0.04) and resulted in a significant increase in knowledge of stroke sub-type (95% CI 0.72-0.677, P<0.001), risk factor control of systolic BP (95% CI 12.1-10.4, P=0.01) and increased the number of healthy lifestyle behaviour changes made at follow-up (P<0.001). Conclusions: Increasing risk awareness is potentially an important mechanism to improve health behaviour following stroke and may improve risk factor control as part of secondary stroke prevention.

description: We solve the non-linear monopole equation of the Born-Infeld theory to all orders in the NS 2-form and give physical implications of the result. The solution is constructed by extending the earlier idea of rotating the brane configuration of the Dirac monopole in the target space. After establishing the non-linear monopole, we explore the non-commutative monopole by the Seiberg-Witten map.

description: The classical H surfaces of H. A. Schwarz form a 1-parameter family of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) that are usually described as close relatives to his more famous P surface. However, a crucial distinction between these surfaces is that the P surface belongs to a 5-dimensional smooth family of embedded TPMS of genus three discovered by W. Meeks, while the H surfaces are among the few known examples outside this family. We construct a 2-parameter family of embedded TPMS of genus three that contains the H family and meets the Meeks family. In particular, we prove that H surfaces can be deformed continuously within the space of TPMS of genus three into Meeks surfaces.

description: We review various applications of dispersion relations (DRs) to the electromagnetic structure of hadrons. We discuss the way DRs allow one to extract information on hadron structure constants by connecting information from complementary scattering processes. We consider the real and virtual Compton scattering processes off the proton, and summarize recent advances in the DR analysis of experimental data to extract the proton polarizabilities, in comparison with alternative studies based on chiral effective field theories. We discuss a multipole analysis of real Compton scattering data, along with a DR fit of the energy-dependent dynamical polarizabilities. Furthermore, we review new sum rules for the double-virtual Compton scattering process off the proton, which allow for model independent relations between polarizabilities in real and virtual Compton scattering, and moments of nucleon structure functions. The information on the double-virtual Compton scattering is used to predict and constrain the polarizability corrections to muonic hydrogen spectroscopy.

Nonadiabatic dynamics in evaporative cooling of trapped atoms by a radio frequency field

description: Magnetically trapped neutral atoms can be cooled with the evaporation technique. This is typically done by using a radiofrequency (rf) field that adiabatically couples trapped and untrapped internal atomic states for atoms with kinetic energies above a value set by the field frequency. The rf-field can also induce nonadiabatic changes of internal atomic spin states (F,M) that lead to heating and enhanced loss of atoms. In this paper we use wave packet simulations to show that the evaporation process can induce these nonadiabatic transitions which change the internal spin state of doubly spin-polarized (2,2) trapped atoms. We also verify the validity of a multistate Landau-Zener model in describing the nonadiabatic dynamics. In addition, we calculate exchange relaxation rate coefficients for collisions between atoms in the (2,M) states of 23-Na atoms. Large exchange relaxation coefficients for 23-Na as compared to 87-Rb F=2 suggest that evaporative cooling of (2,2) Na will be more difficult than for the corresponding state of Rb.

N=2 Type II- Heterotic duality and Higher derivative F-terms

description: We test the recently conjectured duality between $N=2$ supersymmetric type II and heterotic string models by analysing a class of higher dimensional interactions in the respective low-energy Lagrangians. These are $F$-terms of the form $F_g W^{2g}$ where $W$ is the gravitational superfield. On the type II side these terms are generated at the $g$-loop level and in fact are given by topological partition functions of the twisted Calabi-Yau sigma model. We show that on the heterotic side these terms arise at the one-loop level. We study in detail a rank 3 example and show that the corresponding couplings $F_g$ satisfy the same holomorphic anomaly equations as in the type II case. Moreover we study the leading singularities of $F_g$'s on the heterotic side, near the enhanced symmetry point and show that they are universal poles of order $2g{-}2$ with coefficients that are given by the Euler number of the moduli space of genus-$g$ Riemann surfaces. This confirms a recent conjecture that the physics near conifold singularity is governed by $c{=}1$ string theory at the self-dual point.

Emergent modified gravity coupled to scalar matter

description: Emergent modified gravity presents a new set of generally covariant gravitational theories in which the space-time metric is not directly given by one of the fundamental fields. A metric compatible with the modified dynamics of gravity is instead derived from covariance conditions for space-time in canonical form. This paper presents a significant extension of existing vacuum models to the case of a scalar field coupled to emergent modified gravity in a spherically symmetric setting. Unlike in previous attempts for instance in models of loop quantum gravity, it is possible to maintain general covariance in the presence of modified gravity-scalar couplings. In general, however, the emergent space-time metric depends not only on the phase-space degrees of freedom of the gravitational part of the coupled theory, but also on the scalar field. Matter therefore directly and profoundly affects the geometry of space-time, not only through the well-known dynamical coupling of stress-energy to curvature as in Einstein's equation, but even on a kinematical level before equations of motion are solved. This paper introduces further physical requirements that may be imposed for a reduction of modified theories to more specific classes, in some cases eliminating certain modifications that would be possible in a vacuum situation. With minimal coupling, results about the removal of classical black-hole singularities in vacuum emergent modified gravity are found to be unstable under the inclusion of matter, but alternative modifications exist in which singularities are removed even in the presence of matter. Emergent modified gravity is seen to provide a large class of new scalar-tensor theories with second-order field equations.
