Inverse and Forward Modelling of Shallow-Marine Stratigraphy
Creators: name: Charvin, Karl
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis presents the development and application of a numerical inverse and forward model of stratigraphy applied to shallow-marine wave-dominated sedimentary systems. The approach links a “process-based” forward model of stratigraphy (i.e. BARSIM, developed by J.E.A. Storms, University of Delft) to a fully non-linear stochastic inverse scheme. The inverse problem has been formulated using a Bayesian framework in order to sample the full range of uncertainty and explicitly build in prior knowledge. The methodology combines Reversible Jump Markov chain Monte Carlo and Simulated Tempering algorithms which are able to deal with variable dimensional inverse problems and multi-modal posterior probability distributions, respectively. The numerical scheme requires the construction of a likelihood function to quantify the agreement between simulated and observed data (e.g. sediment ages and thicknesses, grain-size distributions). Prior to real case study applications, the method has been successfully validated on different scenarios built from synthetic data, in which the impact of data distribution, quantity and quality on the uncertainty of the inferred environmental parameters were investigated. The numerical scheme has then been applied to two case studies: the outcrop-constrained Lower Cretaceous “Standardville” parasequence of the Aberdeen Member of the Blackhawk Formation (Boock Cliffs, Utah, U.S.A.) and the Emsian sub-surface data of South Algeria. The inverse modelling scheme successfully reproduced stratigraphic architecture in both cases, within the constraints of the input data quality. The inferences of the relative sea level, sediment supply and wave regime histories contribute to the understanding of mechanisms that produced the observed stratigraphy. Of equal importance, the inverse results allowed complete characterisation of uncertainties in these forcing parameters and in the stratigraphic architecture developed in between data constraints. These results suggest that the inverse model may ultimately provide a process-based geological complement to standard geostatistical tools for the static characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs.
A Stochastic Volatility LIBOR Market Model with a Closed Form Solution
Creators: name: Nada, Hazim
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Since its initial publication the SABR model has gained widespread use across asset classes and it has now become the standard pricing framework used in the market to quote interest rate products sensitive to the non flat strike-structure of the market implied volatility. While very simple, the model’s use has always been based on the original study of its authors who derive a formula for pricing European options through a few approximating assumptions which are at times severely violated in the market. This thesis’ main theoretical goal is to set the path for a generalization of the SABR model which possesses a closed form solution free from assumptions about the magnitude of the model’s parameters. We propose such model and derive a closed form solution for the particular case in which the underlying forward rate and its volatility are uncorrelated. After using the solution for pricing caplets within a LIBOR Market Model framework we simplify an approximation for the swap rate developed by Piterbarg in order to use the same solution for the pricing of swaptions. We conduct the model’s calibration for short maturities using a computationally efficient approach which derives an approximation for the model’s implied volatility and uses it to fit the model to market quotes. Finally, we study the properties of the greeks of our model in comparison with those of the classical Black model.

description: Recent numerical and analytic work has highlighted some shortcomings in our understanding of the dynamics of H II region expansion, especially at late times, when the H II region approaches pressure equilibrium with the ambient medium. Here we reconsider the idealized case of a constant radiation source in a uniform and spherically symmetric ambient medium, with an isothermal equation of state. A thick-shell solution is developed which captures the stalling of the ionization front and the decay of the leading shock to a weak compression wave as it escapes to large radii. An acoustic approximation is introduced to capture the late-time damped oscillations of the H II region about the stagnation radius. Putting these together, a matched asymptotic equation is derived for the radius of the ionization front which accounts for both the inertia of the expanding shell and the finite temperature of the ambient medium. The solution to this equation is shown to agree very well with the numerical solution at all times, and is superior to all previously published solutions. The matched asymptotic solution can also accurately model the variation of H II region radius for a time-varying radiation source.

Optimal Planning of Container Terminal Operations
Creators: name: Ma, Nang Laik
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Due to globalization and international trade, moving goods using a mixture of transportation modes has become a norm; today, large vessels transport 95% of the international cargos. In the first part of this thesis, the emphasis is on the sea-land intermodal transport. The availability of different modes of transportation (rail/road/direct) in sea-land intermodal transport and container flows (import, export, transhipment) through the terminal are considered simultaneously within a given planning time horizon. We have also formulated this problem as an Integer Programming (IP) model and the objective is to minimise storage cost, loading and transportation cost from/to the customers. To further understand the computational complexity and performance of the model, we have randomly generated a large number of test instances for extensive experimentation of the algorithm. Since, CPLEX was unable to find the optimal solution for the large test problems; a heuristic algorithm has been devised based on the original IP model to find near „optimal‟ solutions with a relative error of less than 4%. Furthermore, we developed and implemented Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) of the IP formulation of the original problem. The bounds derived from LR were improved using sub-gradient optimisation and computational results are presented. In the second part of the thesis, we consider the combined problems of container assignment and yard crane (YC) deployment within the container terminal. A new IP formulation has been developed using a unified approach with the view to determining optimal container flows and YC requirements within a given planning time horizon. We designed a Branch and Cut (B&C) algorithm to solve the problem to optimality which was computationally evaluated. A novel heuristic approach based on the IP formulation was developed and implemented in C++. Detailed computational results are reported for both the exact and heuristic algorithms using a large number of randomly generated test problems. A practical application of the proposed model in the context of a real case-study is also presented. Finally, a simulation model of container terminal operations based on discrete-event simulation has been developed and implemented with the view of validating the above optimisation model and using it as a test bed for evaluating different operational scenarios.
Valuing changes in utility for non-market outcomes: Experiences alongside preferences
Creators: name: Metcalfe, Robert David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The current practice in economics is to allocate resources on the basis of our preferences as they are expressed in real or hypothetical markets. Our preferences suffer from a number of problems, however, especially when we value non-market goods, such as the environment or health. An alternative way to value non-market goods is through our experiences, or subjective well-being (SWB). SWB is based on our subjective reports of we think and feel about life. This thesis shows how the values of non-market goods may differ according to whether preferences or SWB are used. There are a number of problems with using SWB as an alternative method of valuation but, overall, this thesis concludes that SWB provides a promising way of valuing non-market goods.

Prevalence and treatment of health anxiety in genitourinary medicine
Creators: name: Seivewright, Helen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The concepts of hypochondriasis and health anxiety are described in historical and modern contexts and justification given for the preferred usage of health anxiety, with the condition better classified with the anxiety disorders. The prevalence of hypochondriasis is reviewed and it is noted that most of the data are in primary care with only one paper from genitourinary medicine. The treatments for health anxiety and hypochondriasis are reviewed and noted, until recently, to be relatively limited in efficacy. A prevalence study of health anxiety in genitourinary medicine in two centres found that 8‐ 11% of attenders had significant health anxiety recorded by the Health Anxiety Inventory; that symptoms persisted over a 9 month period, and were associated with higher numbers of medical consultations. This was followed by a randomised controlled trial in a genitourinary medicine clinic in which an adapted form of cognitive behaviour therapy was given by me as a medical practitioner, and compared with a single explanatory interview in a control group. Assessments of clinical symptoms, social functioning and costs were made at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months after randomisation. In 49 patients allocated, greater improvement was seen for the primary outcome of Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) scores in patients treated with CBT (n=23) than in the control group (n=26) (P=0.001). Similar but less marked differences were found for the secondary outcomes of generalised anxiety, depression and social function, and there were fewer health service consultations. These differences were maintained in the six months after treatment was completed. The treatment costs were only partly offset by the savings in clinic appointments and for every unit reduction in HAI score there was an incremental cost of £33. It is concluded that the treatment, given in this manner, has the potential to be generalised.
STRINGY EVIDENCE FOR D=11 STRUCTURE IN STRONGLY COUPLED TYPE II-A SUPERSTRING

description: Witten proposed that the low energy physics of strongly coupled D=10 type-IIA superstring may be described by D=11 supergravity. To explore the stringy aspects of the underlying theory we examine the stringy massive states. We propose a systematic formula for identifying non-perturbative states in D=10 type-IIA superstring theory, such that, together with the elementary excited string states, they form D=11 supersymmetric multiplets multiplets in SO(10) representations. This provides hints for the construction of a weakly coupled D=11 theory that is dual to the strongly coupled D=10 type IIA superstring.

Detailed and simplified chemical kinetics of aviation fuels and surrogates
Creators: name: Markaki, Valentini
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The chemistries of aviation fuels are invariably complex due to large hydrocarbon molecules. There are also large variations for a given fuel type. Furthermore, flow timescales encountered in high performance propulsion devices increasingly lead to difficulties associated with kinetically controlled or influenced phenomena such as flame stability, extinction and re-light. Current indications also suggest that fuel sources will become significantly more diverse in the future and may, for example, encompass Fischer-Tropsch and/or bio-derived components. The combustion properties of such fuels can vary significantly from those in current use and this work outlines a route towards surrogate fuel mechanisms of sufficient accuracy and generality to support the development of practical devices. A reaction class based route to the derivation of detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms for alkyl-substituted aromatics is outlined and applied to the cyclopentadiene/indene, benzene/naphthalene, toluene/1-methyl naphthalene systems. Work has also been extended to the n-propyl benzene system as well. These reaction classes were applied to model the oxidation of the above fuels with encouraging results. Important reaction channels during oxidation were identified and specifically, the methyl groups on aromatic rings have been identified as important in the context of radical scavenging. Furthermore, 1-methyl naphthalene may also be used to modulate sooting tendencies in aviation and Diesel surrogates. Results obtained from chemical kinetic modelling of cyclopentadiene, toluene, npropyl benzene, naphthalene and 1-methyl naphthalene oxidation in shock tubes, jet-stirred and plug-flow reactors at various sets of representative stoichiometries and temperatures are reported.

description: We analyze the breakdown of causality for the perfect fluid limit in a medium with polarizeability. We show that to restore causality a relaxation term linking vorticity and polarization, analogous to the Israel-Stewart term linking viscous forces and gradients,is required. This term provides a minimum amount of dissipation a locally thermalized relativistic medium with polarizeability must have, independently of its underlying degrees of freedom. For ferromagnetic materials an infrared acausal mode remains, which we interpret as a Banks-Casher mode signaling spontaneous magnetization. With these ingredients, we propose a candidate for a fully causal Lagrangian of a relativistic polarizeable system near the perfect fluid limit.

description: A cranked shell model approach for the description of rotational bands in $N\approx Z$ nuclei is formulated. The isovector neutron-proton pairing is taken into account explicitly. The concept of spontaneous breaking and subsequent restoration of the isospin symmetry turns out to be crucial. The general rules to construct the near yrast-spectra for rotating nuclei are presented. For the model case of particles in a j-shell, it is shown that excitation spectra and the alignment processes are well described as compared to the exact shell model calculation. Realistic cranked shell model calculations are able to describe the experimental spectra of $^{72,73}$Kr and $^{74}$Rb isotopes. \

description: Controlled-release urea (CRU) and normal urea have been shown to improve yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice. However, the effects of combined fertilizers (CRU and normal urea, at different N ratios) on rice yield, temperature and solar radiation utilization efficiency (TSRUE) and NUEs remain unclear. In this study, CRU with release periods of 60 days and 100 days were mixed with urea at N ratios of 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6 and 3:7 and applied during the rice-growing season in a rice-wheat cropping system. Rice yield, dry matter accumulation (DMA), TSRUE and NUEs were investigated. The yields under one-time fertilization mode 2 (OFM2) and OFM8 were 5.36%-9.70% higher than that of farmer fertilization practices (FFP) on average across 2018 and 2019. The NUEs under OFM2 and OFM8 was 3.87%-35.56% and 6.26%-58.56% higher than that under FFP, respectively, across 2018 and 2019. Correlation analysis showed that TSRUE were significantly positively correlated with yield, DMA and NUEs. The higher TSRUE under OFM2 and OFM8 contributed to the synergistic improvement of yield and NUEs. Both OFM2 and OFM8 improved rice yields and NUEs compared to FFP while having lower fertilizer and labor costs; therefore, these treatments are worthy of promotion and application.

description: A 256-channel time-of-flight (TOF) electronics system has been developed for a beam line facility called "Back-n WNS" in China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). This paper shows the structure and performance of electronics system and the test results in CSNS. A 256-channel photomultiplier tube (PMT) is chosen as the detector in this system. In order to acquire the time information from the PMT, an electronics system has been designed. The electronics system mainly includes one front-end board (FEB), four time-to-digital converter (TDC) boards and one clock distribution module (CDM). There are 256 channels on FEB and 64 channels on each TDC board. The FEB is connected to the PMT with high-density connectors and the TDC boards are connected to the FEB through 2m cables. The TDC boards are 6U size so that they can be PCI extensions for Instrumentation (PXI) cards. Data from TDC boards can be transferred to the PXI control card through the backboard. In order to make four TDC boards work synchronously, a CDM outputs four clock signals to TDC boards which are distributed from one clock source. The TDC boards achieve a timing resolution of 3.5ns by test with a signal generator. The TOF measurement system has been used in CSNS.
Structural studies on the monotopic membrane protein, rotenone-insensitive NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: Lee, Yang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses three mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductases. The rotenone-insensitive internal NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase [Ndi1] is solely responsible for the reduction of ubiquinone by mitochondrial matrix-derived NADH during the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Its homologues from Plasmodium and Mycobacterium bear particular relevance to the treatment of malaria and tuberculosis. It has also been proposed as an agent in gene therapy against mitochondrial complex I dysfunction in disease states such as sporadic Parkinsonism. The work presented in this thesis describes the structural analysis of Ndi1 using x-ray crystallography. The structure of Ndi1 was determined by molecular replacement to 2.5 A resolution. The monomer shares the same fold with the glutathione reductase-structural family. It has a unique C-terminal domain, which contains two amphiphatic helices that lie paralell to the membrane and mediate insertion into the top leaf of the lipid bilayer. The structure depicts a parallel homodimeric biological unit with each protomer presenting a hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrate channel. The dimer arrangement positions the substrate channels in the same orientation relative to the membrane. The flavin ring is positioned at the juncture of the two substrate channels. Only its re-face is accessible to nucleophilic attack. Ndi1 was co-crystallised with NAD+ [2.9 A] and ubiqinone-2 [3.0 A]. Ndi1 quinone-binding and activation is likely to be facilitated by two active-site Thr residues. The ping-pong reaction mechanism of Ndi1 is accounted for by the overlap observed between the pyridine and benzoquinone moieties in the ligand-complexes. This mechanism is similar to quinone reductase NQ01.

description: This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Dogs, as the first domesticated species, have held a wide range of roles in human societies including hunting assistants, guardians, companions, and food sources. In this poster we will explore their ceremonial roles through a comparative analysis of the life histories of ritually deposited dogs. Specifically, we will compare Southwest dog burials to a late Pithouse Period (A.D. 550-1000) dog internment from Kipp Ruin, a multi-component Mogollon site on the Mimbres river of southwest New Mexico. These dog remains exhibit traces of human-caused physical trauma including skinning, bludgeoning, and dismemberment followed by ceremonial disposal. We will also contextualize the Kipp Ruin dog through morphological, chemical, and genetic testing to assess potential evidence of breed, coat type, fur color, diet, and possible migration of dogs with people across the region.

description: The core concept of IoT is to equip real world objects with computing, processing and communicating capabilities to enable socializing between them. Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an adherent of IoT that has realized significant advancements using communication technologies. Vehicles connected through Internet are capable of sharing information that can substantially enhance the quality of traffic on roads. Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is an instance of IoT that deals specifically in socialization of connected objects. SIoT enables the notion of Social Internet of Vehicles (SIoV) where vehicles are the key entities for sharing information between themselves and the infrastructure (commonly known as Road Side Units (RSUs)). Vehicles in SIoV socialize by exchanging data such as traffic congestions, weather conditions, infotainment, vacant parking slots, alternate routes and discount coupons for restaurants etc. In SIoV, vehicles can communicate with other vehicles and infrastructure through traditional communication technologies like Wi-Fi, Cellular networks or through Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) etc. SIoV will be confronted with ethical dilemmas and expected to function in an ethically responsible manner. This paper highlights the ethical implications of SIoV systems. Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) involves autonomous decision making that requires setting ethical and moral rules before taking verdict. The article discusses the lack of ethical guidelines in designing and deploying of SIoV systems that are of utmost importance. Finally, an addition to SIoV architecture is proposed to incorporate the ethical and moral principles for scheming the SIoV systems.

description: We report an alternative scheme for implementing generalized quantum measurements that does not require the usage of auxiliary system. Our method utilizes solely: (a) classical randomness and post-processing, (b) projective measurements on a relevant quantum system and (c) postselection on non-observing certain outcomes. The scheme implements arbitrary quantum measurement in dimension $d$ with the optimal success probability $1/d$. We apply our results to bound the relative power of projective and generalised measurements for unambiguous state discrimination. Finally, we test our scheme experimentally on IBM's quantum processor. Interestingly, due to noise involved in the implementation of entangling gates, the quality with which our scheme implements generalized qubit measurements outperforms the standard construction using the auxiliary system.

description: We propose that it should be possible to use the CMB to discriminate between dark energy models with different equations of state, including distinguishing a cosmological constant from many models of quintessence. The separation of peaks in the CMB anisotropies can be parametrised by three quantities: the amount of quintessence today, the amount at last scattering, and the averaged equation of state of quintessence. In particular, we show that the CMB peaks can be used to measure the amount of dark energy present before last scattering.

description: We present the rest-frame UV and optical photometry and morphology of low-redshift broad-line quasar host galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping project. Our sample consists of 103 quasars at $z<0.8$, spanning a luminosity range of $-25\le M_g\le -17$ mag. We stack the multi-epoch images in the $g$ and $i$ bands taken by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The combined $g$-band ($i$-band) images reach a $5σ$ depth of 26.2 (25.2) mag, with a typical PSF size of $0.7"$ ($0.6"$). Each quasar is decomposed into a PSF and a Sérsic profile, representing the central AGN and the host galaxy components, respectively. The systematic errors of the measured host galaxy flux in the two bands are 0.23 and 0.18 mag. The relative errors of the measured galaxy half-light radii ($R_e$) are about 13%. We estimate the rest-frame $u$- and $g$-band flux of the host galaxies, and find that the AGN-to-galaxy flux ratios in the $g$ band are between 0.9 to 4.4 (68.3% confidence). These galaxies have high stellar masses $M_\ast = 10^{10}\sim10^{11}\, M_\odot$. They have similar color with star-forming galaxies at similar redshifts, in consistent with AGN positive feedback in these quasars. We find that the $M_*-M_\text{BH}$ relation in our sample is shallower than the local $M_\text{Bulge}-M_\text{BH}$ relation. The Sérsic indices and the $M_*-R_e$ relation indicate that the majority of the host galaxies are disk-like.

description: Particles are accelerated to very high, non-thermal energies in solar and space plasma environments. While energy spectra of accelerated electrons often exhibit a power law, it remains unclear how electrons are accelerated to high energies and what processes determine the power-law index $δ$. Here, we review previous observations of the power-law index $δ$ in a variety of different plasma environments with a particular focus on sub-relativistic electrons. It appears that in regions more closely related to magnetic reconnection (such as the `above-the-looptop' solar hard X-ray source and the plasma sheet in Earth's magnetotail), the spectra are typically soft ($δ\gtrsim$ 4). This is in contrast to the typically hard spectra ($δ\lesssim$ 4) that are observed in coincidence with shocks. The difference implies that shocks are more efficient in producing a larger non-thermal fraction of electron energies when compared to magnetic reconnection. A caveat is that during active times in Earth's magnetotail, $δ$ values seem spatially uniform in the plasma sheet, while power-law distributions still exist even in quiet times. The role of magnetotail reconnection in the electron power-law formation could therefore be confounded with these background conditions. Because different regions have been studied with different instrumentations and methodologies, we point out a need for more systematic and coordinated studies of power-law distributions for a better understanding of possible scaling laws in particle acceleration as well as their universality.

Low Energy Theorems For Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering

description: Low energy theorems are derived for the coefficients of the effective range expansion in s-wave nucleon-nucleon scattering valid to leading order in an expansion in which both $m_π$ and $1/a$ (where $a$ is the scattering length) are treated as small mass scales. Comparisons with phase shift data, however, reveal a pattern of gross violations of the theorems for all coefficients in both the $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ channels. Analogous theorems are developed for the energy dependence $ε$ parameter which describes $^3S_1 - ^3D_1$ mixing. These theorems are also violated. These failures strongly suggest that the physical value of $m_π$ is too large for the chiral expansion to be valid in this context. Comparisons of $m_π$ with phenomenological scales known to arise in the two-nucleon problem support this conjecture.

description: Recommendation systems based on image recognition could prove a vital tool in enhancing the experience of museum audiences. However, for practical systems utilizing wearable cameras, a number of challenges exist which affect the quality of image recognition. In this pilot study, we focus on recognition of museum collections by using a wearable camera in three different museum spaces. We discuss the application of wearable cameras, and the practical and technical challenges in devising a robust system that can recognize artworks viewed by the visitors to create a detailed record of their visit. Specifically, to illustrate the impact of different kinds of museum spaces on image recognition, we collect three training datasets of museum exhibits containing variety of paintings, clocks, and sculptures. Subsequently, we equip selected visitors with wearable cameras to capture artworks viewed by them as they stroll along exhibitions. We use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) which are pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset and fine-tuned on each of the training sets for the purpose of artwork identification. In the testing stage, we use CNNs to identify artworks captured by the visitors with a wearable camera. We analyze the accuracy of their recognition and provide an insight into the applicability of such a system to further engage audiences with museum exhibitions.

description: The energy spectrum for high energy $γ$-rays ($E_γ\geq 10$ MeV) from the process $pp \to γγX$ emitted at $90^0$ in the laboratory frame has been measured at an energy below the pion production threshold, namely, at 216 MeV. The resulting photon energy spectrum extracted from $γ-γ$ coincidence events consists of a narrow peak at a photon energy of about 24 MeV and a relatively broad peak in the energy range of (50 - 70) MeV. The statistical significances for the narrow and broad peaks are 5.3$σ$ and 3.5$σ$, respectively. This behavior of the photon energy spectrum is interpreted as a signature of the exotic dibaryon resonance $d^\star_1$ with a mass of about 1956 MeV which is assumed to be formed in the radiative process $pp \to γd^\star_1$ followed by its electromagnetic decay via the $d^\star_1 \to pp γ$ mode. The experimental spectrum is compared with those obtained by means of Monte Carlo simulations.
