Non-equilibrium thermodynamics as gauge fixing
Creators: name: Katagiri, So

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By considering a thermodynamic force as gauge field, we extend constitutive equations of Onsager's non-equilibrium thermodynamics to non-linear equations. In Onsager's non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the thermodynamic force corresponds to a pure gauge, for which the constitutive equations are obtained by gauge fixing. If we extend the thermodynamic force from pure gauge to physical one, we obtain the non-linear constitutive equations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

Mid-Infrared Emission Features in the ISM: Feature-to-Feature Flux Ratios
Creators: name: Lu, Nanyao Y.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using a limited, but representative sample of sources in the ISM of our Galaxy with published spectra from the Infrared Space Observatory, we analyze flux ratios between the major mid-IR emission features (EFs) centered around 6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.3 microns, respectively. In a flux ratio-to-flux ratio plot of EF(6.2)/EF(7.7) as a function of EF(11.3)/EF(7.7), the sample sources form roughly a $Λ$-shaped locus which appear to trace, on an overall basis, the hardness of a local heating radiation field. But some driving parameters other than the radiation field may also be required for a full interpretation of this trend. On the other hand, the flux ratio of EF(8.6)/EF(7.7) shows little variation over the sample sources, except for two HII regions which have much higher values for this ratio due to an ``EF(8.6\um) anomaly,'' a phenomenon clearly associated with environments of an intense far-UV radiation field. If further confirmed on a larger database, these trends should provide crucial information on how the EF carriers collectively respond to a changing environment.

description: Axions, originally proposed to solve the strong CP problem of quantum chromodynamics, emerge now as leading candidates of WISP dark matter. The rich phenomenology associated to the light and stable QCD axion can be described as an effective magnetic field that can be experimentally investigated. For the QUAX experiment, dark matter axions are searched by means of their resonant interactions with electronic spins in a magnetized sample. In principle, axion-induced magnetization changes can be detected by embedding a sample in an rf cavity in a static magnetic field. In this work we describe the operation of a prototype ferromagnetic haloscope, with a sensitivity limited by thermal fluctuations and receiver noise. With a preliminary dark matter search, we are able to set an upper limit on the coupling constant of DFSZ axions to electrons $g_{aee}<4.9\times10^{-10}$ at 95\% C.L. for a mass of $58\,μ$eV (i.\,e. 14\,GHz). This is the first experimental result with an apparatus exploiting the coupling between cosmological axions and electrons.

description: Time crystals are quantum many-body systems which are able to self-organize their motion in a periodic way in time. Discrete time crystals have been experimentally demonstrated in spin systems. However, the first idea of spontaneous breaking of discrete time translation symmetry, in ultra-cold atoms bouncing on an oscillating mirror, still awaits experimental demonstration. Here, we perform a detailed analysis of the experimental conditions needed for the realization of such a discrete time crystal. Importantly, the considered system allows for the realization of dramatic breaking of discrete time translation symmetry where a symmetry broken state evolves with a period tens of times longer than the driving period. Moreover, atoms bouncing on an oscillating mirror constitute a suitable system for the realization of dynamical quantum phase transitions in discrete time crystals and for the demonstration of various non-trivial condensed matter phenomena in the time domain. We show that Anderson localization effects, which are typically associated with spatial disorder and exponential localization of eigenstates of a particle in configuration space, can be observed in the time domain when ultra-cold atoms are bouncing on a randomly moving mirror.

Predicting the Future of Superhumps in Classical Nova Systems

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Oscillations observed in the light curve of Nova V1974 Cygni 1992 since summer 1994 have been interpreted as permanent superhumps. From simple calculations based on the Tidal-Disk Instability model of Osaki, and assuming that the accretion disc is the dominant optical source in the binary system, we predict that the nova will evolve to become an SU UMa system as its brightness declines from its present luminosity by another 2-3 magnitudes. Linear extrapolation of its current rate of fading (in magnitude units) puts the time of this phase transition within the next 2-4 years. Alternatively, the brightness decline will stop before the nova reaches that level, and the system will continue to show permanent superhumps in its light curve. It will then be similar to two other old novae, V603 Aql and CP Pup, that still display the permanent superhumps phenomenon 79 and 55 years, respectively, after their eruptions. We suggest that non-magnetic novae with short orbital periods could be progenitors of permanent superhump systems.

The calculation has been carried out at fixed volume and three lattice spacings corresponding to $β=5.7$, $6.0$ and $6.2$. We make comparisons with the conventional SW--clover scheme.

description: We study the behaviour of Rényi entropies in a generic thermodynamic macrostate of an integrable model. In the standard quench action approach to quench dynamics, the Rényi entropies may be derived from the overlaps of the initial state with Bethe eigenstates. These overlaps fix the driving term in the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) formalism. We show that this driving term can be also reconstructed starting from the macrostate's particle densities. We then compute explicitly the stationary Rényi entropies after the quench from the dimer and the tilted Néel state in XXZ spin chains. For the former state we employ the overlap TBA approach, while for the latter we reconstruct the driving terms from the macrostate. We discuss in full details the limits that can be analytically handled and we use numerical simulations to check our results against the large time limit of the entanglement entropies.

Our formalism also provides for a well-determined and unique way to relate the results to the perturbation theory. We measure the critical temperature, latent heat and interface tension for Higgs masses up to 70 GeV.

description: Most hadronic particles are resonances: for example, the rho meson appears as a resonance in the elastic scattering of two pions. A method by Luescher enables one to measure the properties of the resonance particles from finite lattices. We present here a more general method which includes scattering processes where the total momentum of the particles is non-zero. The main advantage is that the resonance scattering can be observed in a considerably smaller spatial volume. We test the method with a simple 3+1 dimensional spin model, and find excellent agreement between the zero momentum and the non-zero momentum scattering sectors.

Polarization of the Lyman alpha line from an anisotropically expanding H~I shell in primeval galaxies
Creators: name: Lee, Hee-Won

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We compute the polarization of the Lyman alpha line photons emerging from an anisotropically expanding and optically thick medium, which is expected to operate in many Lyman alpha emitting objects including the primeval galaxy DLA~2233+131 and Lyman break galaxies. In the case of a highly optically thick medium, the escape of resonance line photons is achieved by a large number of resonant local scatterings followed by a small number of scatterings in the damping wing. We show that some polarization can develop because the wing scatterings are coupled with strong spatial diffusion which depends on the scattering geometry and kinematics. The case of a slab with a finite scattering optical depth and expansion velocity of ~ 100 kms^{-1} is investigated and it is found that Lyman alpha photons are emergent with the linear degree of polarization up to 10% when the typical scattering optical depth tau>=10^5. We subsequently investigate the polarization of Lyman alpha photons emerging from a spherical shell obscured partially by an opaque component and we obtain ~ 5 % of polarization. It is proposed that a positive detection of polarized Lyman alpha with with P-Cygni type profile from cosmological objects can be a strong test of the expanding shell structure obscured by a disk-like component.

description: The phase diagram of the Schwinger model on the lattice with Wilson fermions is investigated in the Hartree-Fock approximation. In case of single flavour (not directly amenable to simulations), the calculation indicates the existence of the parity violating phase at both weak and intermediate-to-strong couplings. Hartree-Fock vacuum sustains a nonzero electric field in this broken phase. The phase structure of the model with two flavours is also discussed.

description: We have measured the mass distribution in the central 35" = 1.7 kpc of the E5 galaxy NGC 3377. Stellar rotation velocity and velocity dispersion profiles (seeing sigma_* = 0.20 - 0.56 arcsec) and V-band surface photometry (sigma_* = 0.20 - 0.26 arcsec) have been obtained with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. NGC 3377 is kinematically similar to M32: the central kinematic gradients are steep. The apparent velocity dispersion rises from 95 +- 2 km/s at 1" <= r <= 4" to 178 +- 10 km/s at the center. To search for a central black hole, we derive three-dimensional velocity and velocity dispersion fields that fit our observations and Hubble Space Telescope surface photometry after projection and seeing convolution. Isotropic models imply that the mass-to-light ratio rises by a factor of ~ 4 at r < 2" to M/L_V > 10. If the mass-to-light ratio of the stars is constant with radius, then NGC 3377 contains a central massive dark object (MDO), probably a black hole, of mass (1.8 +- 0.8) x 10**8 M_Sun. Several arguments suggest that NGC 3377 is likely to be nearly isotropic. However, flattened, anisotropic maximum entropy models can fit the data without an MDO. Therefore the MDO detection in NGC 3377 is weaker than those in M31, M32, or NGC 3115. The above MDO mass is corrected for the E5 shape of the galaxy and for the difference between velocity moments and velocities given by Gaussian fits to the line profiles. We show that the latter correction does not affect the strength of the MDO detection, but it slightly reduces the mass and mass-to-light ratio. At 3" <= r <= 35", M/L_V is constant at ~ 2.4. Therefore the inner parts of NGC 3377 are dominated by a normal old stellar population, not by halo dark matter.

description: We determine the critical point and the ratios $β/ν$ and $γ/ν$ of critical exponents of the deconfinement transition in $SU(2)$ gauge theory by applying the $χ^2$-method to Monte Carlo data of the modulus and the square of the Polyakov loop. With the same technique we find from the Binder cumulant $g_r$ its universal value at the critical point in the thermodynamical limit to $-1.403(16)$ and for the next-to-leading exponent $ω=1\pm0.1$. From the derivatives of the Polyakov loop dependent quantities we estimate then $1/ν$. The result from the derivative of $g_r$ is $1/ν=0.63\pm0.01$, in complete agreement with that of the $3d$ Ising model.

Brain-machine interface using electrocorticography in humans
Creators: name: Milekovic, Tomislav
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Paralysis has a severe impact on a patient’s quality of life and entails a high emotional burden and life-long social and financial costs. More than 5 million people in the USA suffer from some form of paralysis and about 50% of the people older than 65 experience difficulties or inabilities with movement. Restoring movement and communication for patients with neurological and motor disorders, stroke and spinal cord injuries remains a challenging clinical problem without an adequate solution. A brain-machine interface (BMI) allows subjects to control a device, such as a computer cursor or an artificial hand, exclusively by their brain activity. BMIs can be used to control communication and prosthetic devices, thereby restoring the communication and movement capabilities of the paralyzed patients. So far, most powerful BMIs have been realized by extracting movement parameters from the activity of single neurons. To record such activity, electrodes have to penetrate the brain tissue, thereby generating risk of brain injury. In addition, recording instability, due to small movements of the electrodes within the brain and the neuronal tissue response to the electrode implant, is also an issue. In this thesis, I investigate whether electrocorticography (ECoG), an alternative recording technique, can be used to achieve BMIs with similar accuracy. First, I demonstrate a BMI based on the approach of extracting movement parameters from ECoG signals. Such ECoG based BMI can further be improved using supervised adaptive algorithms. To implement such algorithms, it is necessary to continuously receive feedback from the subject whether the BMI-decoded trajectory was correct or incorrect. I show that, by using the same ECoG recordings, neuronal responses to trajectory errors can be recorded, detected and differentiated from other types of errors. Finally, I devise a method that could be used to improve the detection of error related neuronal responses.

Smart panels for active noise control in aircraft cabin
Creators: name: Dimino, Ignazio
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Active noise control is a key technology to enhance aircraft cabin comfort. This reflects the view of a vast amount of research aimed at reducing cabin noise levels by tackling structural vibration of the fuselage sidewalls. Aircraft interior trim panels and windows are characterized by poor sound transmission loss behaviour at low frequencies as a result of the mass-air-mass resonance phenomena. For next-generation transport aircraft, their impact on the cabin vibroacoustic environment is expected to become increasingly important with the upcoming use of larger passive windows providing a weak link in protecting aircraft interior from outside noise. This thesis presents a novel active structural acoustic control (ASAC) concept to reduce sound transmission through aircraft-type windows at low frequencies. The structural control inputs are achieved by piezoelectric actuators applied to the structure while the radiating pressure field is minimized. The control concept is developed by means of numerical and experimental investigations. A theoretical analysis of the fluid-structure interaction of vibrating structures is presented. A simulation procedure for the numerical evaluation of the sound transmission loss behaviour of plate-like multi wall structures is developed. The method is based on a hybrid FEM/Rayleigh methodology and utilises numerically calculated sound transmission loss of flat multi panel partitions and box like cavities with idealized boundary conditions. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed technique. A suitable control algorithm based on an adaptive feed-forward Multi-Input Multi- Output control strategy is developed and implemented on a real-time Digital Signal Processing control board. The control strategy is based on the minimization of the sum of square outputs of a number of field microphones. Active noise control experiments are conducted for tonal and narrowband excitations by mounting the structure on a reference test suite. The sound power transmitted through the structure is determined by intensity measurements in anechoic chamber. Focus is finally given to the potential impact of active noise and vibration reduction on passengers from the point of view of comfort perception.

Improving the resistance to progressive collapse of steel and composite frames
Creators: name: Vidalis, Carolos Antonios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Several well publicised examples of progressive collapse have heightened concerns about the need to address robustness as a design requirement. Although research around the subject has been aimed at understanding the mechanics of progressive collapse, little work has been done on translating findings into better guidance on how to ensure adequate resistance without relying on the current prescriptive rules. Based on the Imperial College London method, which provides a soundly based analysis framework for calculating and comparing the performance of different designs, the work presented herein introduces a methodology for making realistic and effective design interventions, in order to allow designers to effectively enhance the robustness of their structure. This strategy is illustrated for both steel and composite frames and covers structures designed for both seismic and non seismic locations. Using the proposed step-by-step methodology, it is possible to redesign a simply designed composite frame in a way that it will be sufficiently robust to cope with any sudden column removal scenario. Comparison with simply increasing tying capacity reveals that the latter does not have a direct and proportional effect on the frame’s resistance and should be used within a more informed context. With the aim of performing a complementary study for moment resisting steel frames, three types of popular welded connections are modelled under progressive collapse loading conditions using the Component Method. Also, an analytical solution for the prediction of the response of irregular beam systems under sudden column loss is presented. Despite the excellent performance of most floor systems, moment frames are found vulnerable to certain column loss scenarios. Thus, these scenarios are further examined with the express purpose of identifying how the frame might best be configured so as to provide the necessary resistance. The findings show how design for seismic resistance and design to resist progressive collapse do not necessarily align and highlight which structural properties are the most important to consider in each frame type, therefore encouraging the use of the proposed redesigning methodology, which is capable of effectively remediating robustness by efficiently addressing localised weaknesses.

description: In his 1971 interview with Henry La Brie, Hubbard briefly describes his education before discussing the history of the Norfolk Journal and Guide. Later, Hubbard discusses black higher education and divestment from job training to explain the scarcity of trained black operators in the job market. Outlining the ways the Journal attracts both advertisers and readership, Hubbard discusses the changes in mainstream coverage of African-American issues and the continuing importance of the black press in African-American communities. Hubbard delves into the technical aspects of his work, discussing how he trains employees and adapts to technological advancements. In the final portion of this interview, Hubbard discusses black newspaper families; the idea of a black news service; his decision to become a linotype operator; whether black newspapers are supplementary or complementary to the black reader's news diet; Northern bias and regionalism; and the exclusion of black mechanics from labor unions.
Bayesian latent variable models with applications

description: The massive increases in computational power that have occurred over the last two decades have contributed to the increasing prevalence of Bayesian reasoning in statistics. The often intractable integrals required as part of the Bayesian approach to inference can be approximated or estimated using intensive sampling or optimisation routines. This has extended the realm of applications beyond simple models for which fully analytic solutions are possible. Latent variable models are ideally suited to this approach as it provides a principled method for resolving one of the more difficult issues associated with this class of models, the question of the appropriate number of latent variables. This thesis explores the use of latent variable models in a number of different settings employing Bayesian methods for inference. The first strand of this research focusses on the use of a latent variable model to perform simultaneous clustering and latent structure analysis of multivariate data. In this setting the latent variables are of key interest providing information on the number of sub-populations within a heterogeneous data set and also the differences in latent structure that define them. In the second strand latent variable models are used as a tool to study relational or network data. The analysis of this type of data, which describes the interconnections between different entities or nodes, is complicated due to the dependencies between nodes induced by these connections. The conditional independence assumptions of the latent variable framework provide a means of taking these dependencies into account, the nodes are independent conditioned on an associated latent variable. This allows us to perform model based clustering of a network making inference on the number of clusters. Finally the latent variable representation of the network, which captures the structure of the network in a different form, can be studied as part of a latent variable framework for detecting differences between networks. Approximation schemes are required as part of the Bayesian approach to model estimation. The two methods that are considered in this thesis are stochastic Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and deterministic variational approximations. Where possible these are extended to incorporate model selection over the number of latent variables and a comparison, the first of its kind in this setting, of their relative performance in unsupervised model selection for a range of different settings is presented. The findings of the study help to ascertain in which settings one method may be preferred to the other.

description: Background: Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) increases the complexity of inpatient medical care. Baclofen has shown promise in previous studies to modulate the symptoms of AWS. Our objective was to determine if baclofen, when added to symptom triggered benzodiazepines, could prevent medical inpatients at risk for AWS from progressing to moderate or severe AWS. Methods: Double Blind, placebo controlled, randomized trial. Trial registered at ClinicalTrials.gov registration ID NCT02052440. Medical inpatients at a University-affiliated, urban public safety net hospital who were at risk for, or with mild, AWS received Baclofen 10 mg or placebo by mouth every 8 h plus usual care. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients progressing to moderate or severe AWS. Secondary outcomes included the difference in the mean AWS assessment scores at 24, 48, and 72 h and peak and total dosages of benzodiazepines. Results: 101 of 166 targeted patients were enrolled. The primary outcome occurred in 13 of 50 (26%) patients receiving baclofen and 16 of 51 (31%) receiving placebo (p = 0.55). Mean cumulative diazepam administered was 66 mg (±51 SD) in the baclofen group and 85 mg (±63) in the placebo group (p = 0.13). Mean highest dose diazepam was 11 mg (±3) in the baclofen group and 12 mg (±7) in the placebo group (p = 0.14). Conclusion: The addition of baclofen to usual care did not result in a significant difference in progression to moderate or severe AWS but we interpret this result with caution given that we did not meet the enrollment goal.

A new instability of accretion disks around compact magnetic stars

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Aperiodic variability and Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) are observed from accretion disks orbiting white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, suggesting that the flow is universally broken up into discrete blobs. We consider the interaction of these blobs with the magnetic field of a compact, accreting star, where diamagnetic blobs suffer a drag. We show that when the magnetic moment is not aligned with the spin axis, the resulting force is pulsed, and this can lead to resonance with the oscillation of the blobs around the equatorial plane; a resonance condition where energy is effectively pumped into non--equatorial motions is then derived. We show that the same resonance condition applies for the quadrupolar component of the magnetic field. We discuss the conditions of applicability of this result, showing that they are quite wide. We also show that realistic complications, such as chaotic magnetic fields, buoyancy, radiation pressure, evaporation, Kelvin--Helmholtz instability, and shear stresses due to differential rotation do not affect our results. In accreting neutron stars with millisecond periods, we show that this instability leads to Lense-Thirring precession of the blobs, and that damping by viscosity can be neglected.

The infective pulmonary exacerbation in cystic fibrosis : an ecological perspective
Creators: name: Jones, Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Introduction: In CF, infective pulmonary exacerbations are common. Despite this, significant aspects of pathogenesis and patient responses to treatment remain poorly understood. This study examined a cohort of subjects receiving antibiotic therapy for exacerbations, correlated clinical findings with microbiological data and examined the factors leading to non-response to treatment. Methods: Subjects were recruited when they commenced IV antibiotics. Measures of lung function, inflammatory markers and quality of life scores were collected with sputum samples during treatment. Samples were analysed for (i) routine microbiology, (ii) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) hypermutator frequency (ii) 16S rRNA gene sequences to identify bacteria present, (iv) PA quorum-sensing (QS) molecule concentrations using LC-MS/MS. Results: Patients who failed to return lung function to baseline at the end of treatment were shown to have a larger decline in FEV1 at exacerbation and a longer time since stable measures. In treatment success, no significant improvement in lung function was seen after 7 days treatment. No association was seen between severity of exacerbation or treatment response and PA mucoidy or presence of Staphylococcus aureus. Hypermutator PA was seen more in older patients and associated with milder exacerbations. Bacterial diversity was shown not to change significantly during antibiotic treatment but there was a significant relationship between the change in diversity and change in PA bacterial density. Meropenem was shown to have greater effect on diversity than ceftazidime. A significant association between QS molecule concentration and lung function decline at exacerbation was shown. QS concentrations were seen to decrease significantly during antibiotic treatment which was not associated with a decline in bacterial numbers. Discussion: Current durations of antibiotic treatment may not be appropriate as most improvement is seen within 7 days. The effect of repeated course of meropenem on bacterial diversity requires investigation. QS inhibition may provide alternative therapeutic options to exacerbation treatments.
The interaction of oceanic jets with the midlatitude storm tracks
Creators: name: O'Reilly, Christopher Horkesley
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Two mechanisms through which oceanic jets and the atmospheric storm tracks interact in midlatitudes are considered. Firstly, the response of a two-layer ocean model to large- scale stochastic forcing, a simplified model of forcing by the North Atlantic Oscillation, is investigated. Long Rossby waves are excited at the eastern boundary of the square model basin and the waves are baroclinically unstable. A novel aspect is that the instability leads to the generation of zonal jets throughout the domain. Unlike other theories of jet generation, the jets are actually wave-like in nature, and result directly from the instability. The “jets” appear when averaging the zonal velocity field over fixed periods of time. The longer the averaging period, the weaker the jets as the latter are actually time-varying. The jets occur for a wide range of stochastic forcing strength and the presence or not of a time mean circulation. The mechanism described here thereby provides an explanation for the recent observations of alternating zonal jets. The response of the Pacific storm track to the variability of the Kuroshio Extension jet is then studied. An index of the Kuroshio Extension front strength is produced using sea surface temperature and sea surface height observations. The index reflects the strengthening and weakening of the SST gradient associated with the bimodal states of the Kuroshio, and composites of the atmospheric state are presented during its positive and negative phases. The anomalous response of the transient eddy heat transport resembles a zonal dipole structure. With a weaker (stronger) SST front, the eddy heat transport is increased in the eastern (western) Pacific region, consistent with reduced (enhanced) low- level baroclinicity. The response of the large-scale atmospheric circulation is a barotropic blocking-type pattern in the east Pacific, which is interpreted in terms of the barotropic “eddy-straining” mechanism and eddy-mean flow interaction.
