Model order reduction of wind farms
Creators: name: Ali, Husni Rois
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Despite its rapid increase, large-scale wind farm to grid integration remains a technically challenging issue. A detailed or full order model (FOM) of wind farm plays a key role in understanding this problem and finding appropriate solutions. However, the detailed model is extremely complex and not convenient for large-scale simulation. This thesis aims to develop a simple, accurate, and manageable reduced order model (ROM) of wind farm. In the first part of the thesis, linear model order reduction (MOR) of wind farm which can capture oscillatory dynamics of FOM during a small disturbance is considered. Effectiveness of five linear MOR techniques, namely balanced truncation (BT), alternating direction implicit (ADI)-based BT, rational Krylov (RK), iterative rational Krylov algorithm (IRKA), and subspace accelerated multi-input multi-output (MIMO) dominant pole (SAMDP) algorithm, are investigated on practical-sized wind farms with 90, 120, and 210 type-3 or doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs). Merits and demerits of each method are discussed in detail. The ROM of wind farm is validated against the FOM in term of frequency domain indices and waveform agreement at the point of common coupling (PCC). Further, the use of IRKA method is extended to perform MOR of a multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) system connected to two large-scale wind farms with each having 48 DFIGs. The second part of the thesis presents a method to develop a computationally efficient dynamic model of wind farm suitable for a large disturbance simulation. The method based on a trajectory piecewise linear (TPWL) approximation uses single and multiple training trajectories to develop a nonlinear ROM. Simulation results using a small demonstration wind farm system with 2 DFIGs and a large practical wind farm system with 120 DFIGs are discussed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in capturing dynamic behaviour of wind farm following large disturbances.

description: The burn-up for SC56-1472 sample of the natural Oklo reactor zone 3 was calculated using the modern Monte Carlo codes. We reconstructed the neutron spectrum in the core by means of the isotope ratios: $^{147}$Sm/$^{148}$Sm and $^{176}$Lu/$^{175}$Lu. These ratios unambiguously determine the spectrum index and core temperature. The effective neutron absorption cross section of $^{149}$Sm calculated using this spectrum was compared with experimental one. The disagreement between these two values allows to limit a possible shift of the low laying resonance of $^{149}$Sm even more . Then, these limits were converted to the limits for the change of the fine structure constant $α$. We found that for the rate of $α$ change the inequality $|δ\dotα/α| \le 5\cdot 10^{-18}$ is fulfilled, which is of the next higher order than our previous limit.

description: The school choice mechanism design problem focuses on assignment mechanisms matching students to public schools in a given school district. The well-known Gale Shapley Student Optimal Stable Matching Mechanism (SOSM) is the most efficient stable mechanism proposed so far as a solution to this problem. However its inefficiency is well-documented, and recently the Efficiency Adjusted Deferred Acceptance Mechanism (EADAM) was proposed as a remedy for this weakness. In this note we describe two related adjustments to SOSM with the intention to address the same inefficiency issue. In one we create possibly artificial coalitions among students where some students modify their preference profiles in order to improve the outcome for some other students. Our second approach involves trading cliques among students where those involved improve their assignments by waiving some of their priorities. The coalition method yields the EADAM outcome among other Pareto dominations of the SOSM outcome, while the clique method yields all possible Pareto optimal Pareto dominations of SOSM. The clique method furthermore incorporates a natural solution to the problem of breaking possible ties within preference and priority profiles. We discuss the practical implications and limitations of our approach in the final section of the article.

The near-miss effect in online slot-machine gambling : a series of conceptual replications
Creators: name: Palmer, Lucas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The field of gambling studies is beginning to recognize the need to conduct targeted replications of influential effects throughout the field. Given the limited resources afforded to researchers, we must be systematic in our approach to selecting which effects are most in need of replication. Following a systematic approach to replication selection, a series of conceptual replications of the ‘near-miss effect’ in slot machine gambling was conducted, on online community samples. Near-miss outcomes on a slot machine are those that appear proximal to a win, though they are functionally identical to other losing outcomes (herein termed ‘full misses’). Near-misses have been shown to elicit a range of differential psychological effects compared to full-misses. Experiment 1a and 1b attempted to replicate a previous study by Clark et al. 2009 that 1) near-misses are experienced as more negative, 2) near-misses are rated as more motivating to continue playing a slot machine. Experiment 2 tested the effects on speed of gambling (a replication of Dixon et al. 2013) that near-miss outcomes speed up participant speed of play compared to full miss outcomes. Experiment 3 tested whether near-miss outcomes influence subsequent bet size. I replicated the motivation hypothesis of Clark et el., (2009), but found a significant effect in the opposite direction for the valence hypothesis. Across both study 1a and 1b, near-miss outcomes were more positive relative to full-misses. Experiment 2 replicated the hypothesis that near-miss outcomes increase speed of play (Dixon et al., 2013). Experiment 3 observed near-miss outcomes led to a significant increase in bet size on the subsequent spin relative to full-miss outcomes. I consider how this pattern of results across 3 different dependent variables speak to the different theoretical accounts of how near-misses operate.
Epigenetic regulation of the immune system by histone deacetylase inhibition in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Creators: name: Yeh, Fu-Chiang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by overgrowth of vascular cells, deposition of extracellular matrix and infiltration of inflammatory cells, challenging current available treatments. Immune dysregulation is recognized in the pathogenesis of PAH, e.g. PAH is a complication of connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone acetylation, are emerging as key players in maintaining immune homeostasis. This thesis examines epigenetic regulation of the immune system by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition in PAH. We firstly demonstrated aberrant expressions of class II HDACs along with decreased circulating regulatory T (Treg) cells in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from idiopathic PAH patients. Follow on ex vivo experiment showed that broad spectrum HDAC inhibition by suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) treatment in isolated CD4+CD25- conventional T cells induced significantly higher Foxp3 expression and Treg conversion in the cells from idiopathic PAH patients compared with healthy donors. I established the first autoimmune disorder associated pulmonary hypertension (PH) rat model, the R-SU PH model. This model demonstrates severe PH and recapitulates important pathology of human PAH including complex pulmonary vascular remodeling with exaggerated perivascular inflammation in addition to multi-system autoimmune conditions, including glomerulonephritis and massive splenomegaly. This model will be valuable for exploring the impact of autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of PAH. It can be employed specifically as a preclinical model for studying targeted treatment for CTD associated PAH. Aberrant expressions of HDACs and decreased circulating Treg cells in the PBMCs were recapitulated by PH animal models, including the R-SU rat model. Treatment of SAHA restored Treg activity and suppressed inflammatory responses in the lung, attenuating the PH phenotypes in three PH rodent models. My results demonstrated that immune dysregulation is involved in the development of PAH pathology. HDAC inhibitor SAHA modulates immune homeostasis and has the therapeutic potential for PAH.

description: We report the detection of a pair of degree-long tidal tails associated with the globular cluster Palomar 14, using images obtained at the CFHT. We reveal a power-law departure from a King profile at large distances to the cluster center. The density map constructed with the optimal matched filter technique shows a nearly symmetrical and elongated distribution of stars on both sides of the cluster, forming a S-shape characteristic of mass loss. This evidence may be the telltale signature of tidal stripping in action. This, together with its large Galactocentric distance, imposes strong constraints on its orbit and/or origin: i) it must follow an external orbit confined to the peripheral region of the Galactic halo and/or ii) it formed in a satellite galaxy later accreted by the Milky Way.

Rules versus risk : why perceptions of pedestrian comfort and safety differ for interactions with self-driven vehicles, human-driven vehicles, and bicycles
Creators: name: Bardutz, Emily
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This thesis aims to inform fully autonomous self-driving vehicle (SDV) policy with respect to pedestrian comfort and safety. To pursue new insights, the novel approach of Structural Topic Modeling is used to organize open-response comments into prominent topics, or themes, and explore the factors affecting the prevalence and content of topics. This thesis is comprised of two parts. In both parts, participants in an online survey rated the comfort and safety of pedestrian interactions shown in short video clips and provided open-response comments clarifying their ratings. In part 1, the video clips showed pedestrian interactions with human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and bicycles. In Part 2, the video clips only showed interactions with HDVs, except participants were told that half of the videos involved SDVS. This deception-based survey design allowed for isolation of the intrinsic effect of SDV technology on comfort and safety perceptions across a broad sample of the population, separate from potential operating differences from HDVs. Results indicate that pedestrian interactions with each of the three types of road users were perceived as fundamentally different and should be treated as such in future research and analysis. Interactions with bicycles elicited topics mainly concerned with yielding; interactions with HDVs elicited topics mainly concerned with risk; and interactions with SDVs elicited topics mainly concerned with rule compliance. Participants increasingly ascribed more responsibility to the pedestrian as the degree of detachment (physically and conceptually) between the pedestrian and the interacting road user increased – from cyclist to HDV to SDV. To ensure that the integration of SDVs into the existing transportation system does not undermine efforts to prioritize and promote active transportation, SDVs should be programmed to strictly comply with road rules.

Organisational identification and professional image construction in a hybrid organisation
Creators: name: Silvestri, Cleo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation is based on three papers, which examine the challenges individuals face when belonging to a hybrid organisation. Hybrid organisations are characterised by their multiple, sometimes contradictory goals and by employees’ engagement in multiple sets of activities, not always consistent among each other. The first paper investigates the factors that determine organisational members’ identification with their hybrid organisation. In particular, the study draws on institutional and self-affirmation theories, and shows that being committed to only one of the embedded logics (“purism”) threatens an individual’s identification with his or her hybrid organisation. We show that the negative effect of purism is mitigated by individual perception of a low degree of organisational hybridity and perception of compatibility among the logics present. The second and third papers investigate the issues confronting individuals in their construction of a public professional image after they have been engaging in secondary activities alongside their professional duties. Engagement in such activities is often allowed – if not encouraged – in hybrid organisations. Specifically, the second paper explores the factors that result in a personal image that includes information on secondary activities. I find an inverted U-shaped relationship between an individual’s reputation within their professional domain and the likelihood of including information on secondary activities. This result is moderated by the normative awareness of the individual, either endogenous to them or exogenously encouraged. The third paper examines the framing used by individuals in the construction of a broad professional image. I find a U-shaped relationship between the individual’s reputation in their professional domain and the likelihood of framing information on secondary activities to address the interests of a secondary audience. This result is moderated by the strength of the secondary audience and its influence on the focal actors.

description: The force sensor is key to the performance of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Nowadays, most AFMs use micro-machined force sensors made from silicon, but piezoelectric quartz sensors are applied at an increasing rate, mainly in vacuum. These self sensing force sensors allow a relatively easy upgrade of a scanning tunneling microscope to a combined scanning tunneling/atomic force microscope. Two fundamentally different types of quartz sensors have achieved atomic resolution: the 'needle sensor' that is based on a length extensional resonator and the 'qPlus sensor' that is based on a tuning fork. Here, we calculate and measure the noise characteristics of these sensors. We find four noise sources: deflection detector noise, thermal noise, oscillator noise and thermal drift noise. We calculate the effect of these noise sources as a factor of sensor stiffness, bandwidth and oscillation amplitude. We find that for self sensing quartz sensors, the deflection detector noise is independent of sensor stiffness, while the remaining three noise sources increase strongly with sensor stiffness. Deflection detector noise increases with bandwidth to the power of 1.5, while thermal noise and oscillator noise are proportional to the square root of the bandwidth. Thermal drift noise, however, is inversely proportional to bandwidth. The first three noise sources are inversely proportional to amplitude while thermal drift noise is independent of the amplitude. Thus, we show that the earlier finding that quoted optimal signal-to-noise ratio for oscillation amplitudes similar to the range of the forces is still correct when considering all four frequency noise contributions. Finally, we suggest how the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensors can be further improved and briefly discuss the challenges of mounting tips.

The traditional financial approach seeks to understand financial markets by using models where investors are rational. But in reality, people tend to be irrational when investing. Studies have shown that people show similar irrationality, inconsistency and inadequacy when they encounter uncertainty due to unpredictable results when making decisions. Behavioral finance seeks to find the causes of such non-rational human behavior, to better understand and explain how emotions and cognitive dynamics affect investors, and to focus on their psychological aspects. In addition, behavioral finance with the help of psychology and other social sciences can shed significant light on explaining many financial market anomalies, market bubbles, and financial crises. In this article, the meaning and importance of behavioral finance and its impact on investment decisions will be examined especially for investors trading on Istanbul Stock Exchange. As the method of the study, the questionnaire which was prepared according to a 5-point Likert scale and passed the reliability test was applied. The aim of this study is to investigate how investors are affected by psychological and sociological factors and how they shape their investments as a result of these effects.

description: A highly potent  donor-acceptor biaryl TADF dye is accessible by a concise two-step sequence, employing twofold Ullmann arylation and a sequentially Pd-catalyzed Masuda borylation-Suzuki arylation (MBSA). Photophysical investigations show efficient TADF at ambient temperature due to the sterical hindrance between the donor and acceptor moieties. The photoluminescence quantum yield amounts to FPL = 80 % in toluene and 90 % in PMMA arising from prompt and delayed fluorescence with decay times of 21 ns and 30 µs, respectively. From an Arrhenius plot, the energy gap DE(S1-T1) between the lowest excited singlet S1 and triplet T1 state was determined to 980 cm-1 (120 meV). A new procedure is proposed that allows us to estimate the intersystem crossing time to ≈ 102 ns.

description: According to the no-hair theorem, astrophysical black holes are uniquely described by their masses and spins. An observational test of the no-hair theorem can be performed by measuring at least three different multipole moments of the spacetime of a black hole and verifying whether their values are consistent with the unique combinations of the Kerr solution. In this paper, we study quasi-periodic variability observed in the emission from black holes across the electromagnetic spectrum as a test of the no-hair theorem. We derive expressions for the Keplerian and epicyclic frequencies in a quasi-Kerr spacetime, in which the quadrupole moment is a free parameter in addition to mass and spin. We show that, for moderate spins, the Keplerian frequency is practically independent of small deviations of the quadrupole moment from the Kerr value, while the epicyclic frequencies exhibit significant variations. We apply this framework to quasi-periodic oscillations in black-hole X-ray binaries in two different scenarios. In the case that a pair of quasi-periodic oscillations can be identified as the fundamental g- and c-modes in the accretion disk, we show that the no-hair theorem can be tested in conjunction with an independent mass measurement. If, on the other hand, the pairs of oscillations are identified with non-parametric resonance of dynamical frequencies in the accretion disk, then testing the no-hair theorem also requires an independent measurement of the black-hole spin. In addition, we argue that VLBI observations of Sgr A* may test the no-hair theorem through a combination of imaging observations and the detection of quasi-periodic variability.

Here $f$ is a positive nondecreasing convex function, exploding at a finite value $a\in (0, \infty)$. We show that the extremal solution is regular in low dimensional case. In particular, we prove that for the radial case, all extremal solution is regular in dimension two.

description: In contemporary society, the influence of social media on young people, along with its impact on interpersonal dynamics and self-perception, is classified as a pervasive phenomenon that not only shapes everyday interactions, but also significantly shapes the construction identity and virtual socialization patterns. In particular, TikTok has become a prominent platform for the younger population. Taking this into account, the present research focuses on the effects of TikTok on the identity construction and virtual socialization of students between 18 and 26 years old enrolled at the University of Ankara. To empirically address these objectives, a total of 30 students from Ankara University actively participated in this research by completing a questionnaire based on the object of study. This instrument was designed to elucidate the intricate relationship between TikTok use and the resulting dynamics of identity formation, virtual socialization, and perceived popularity. Furthermore, the findings illuminate a discernible correlation between identity formation and virtual socialization, as well as between the latter and the subjective sense of popularity associated with TikTok use. Statistical analyses, performed using the Chi-square tool, demonstrated a significance level of less than 0.05, reinforcing the substantial interaction between these variables. These results not only provide valuable insights into the contemporary digital landscape, but also underscore the nuanced connections that shape adolescents' social and identity-related experiences in virtual environments.

description: We present an experiment of nonclassical interference between a pure heralded single-photon state and a weak coherent state. Our experiment is the first to demonstrate that spectrally pure single photons can have high interference visibility, 89.4 \pm 0.5%, with weak coherent photons. Our scheme lays the groundwork for future experiments requiring quantum interference between photons in nonclassical states and those in coherent states.

Essays on auditing : the matching of partners with clients, and the effects of mandatory auditing on the strategic decisions of banks
Creators: name: Wu, Yiqin (Pauline)

description: This thesis is a set of two essays on auditing. Chapter 2 explores how audit firms match audit partners with client firms. I use machine learning algorithms to predict audit quality for every client-partner pair within audit offices. I find that a partner who has a higher predicted audit quality on the focal client is more likely to be selected to audit it. In addition, audit firms prioritize large clients with higher potential litigation risks when allocating partners. On average, client-partner matching quality is higher for Big 4 audit firms and large audit offices. I also find that mandatory partner rotation improves partner matching quality, highlighting the bright side of the policy. Lastly, there are real implications of client-partner matching on ex-post audit quality. Lower matching quality is associated with worse ex-post audit quality, suggesting that machine learning algorithms might help human decision-makers improve their personnel management inside firms. Chapter 3 examines the real effects of mandatory audit regulation in the banking industry. Section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Act requires banks with assets above $500 million to have a mandatory audit. We find that banks around the threshold strategically slow their asset growth, suggesting a perceived net cost of growing to be audited. In the cross-section, we find less strategic growth behavior in banks with a higher cost of capital, implying a substitution effect between the monitoring from investors and auditors. In addition, we find more prevalent strategic growth behavior in banks operating in poor-performing local economies and less competitive markets, highlighting the negative impact of the regulation on liquidity provision in those areas. We also find contagion effects of strategic growth among banks in the same area, suggesting that banks learn from their peers in making output decisions. Finally, we examine banks that voluntarily obtain an independent audit before crossing the threshold, where the empirical results corroborate our mandatory audit tests.

description: We show that the relativistic dynamics in a Gaussian random electromagnetic field can be approximated by the relativistic diffusion of Schay and Dudley. Lorentz invariant dynamics in the proper time leads to the diffusion in the proper time. The dynamics in the laboratory time gives the diffusive transport equation corresponding to the Juettner equilibrium at the inverse temperature β^{-1}=mc^{2}. The diffusion constant is expressed by the field strength correlation function (Kubo's formula).

description: Numerical simulations of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) with zero initial net flux in a non-stratified isothermal cubic domain are used to demonstrate the importance of magnetic boundary conditions.In fully periodic systems the level of turbulence generated by the MRI strongly decreases as the magnetic Prandtl number (Pm), which is the ratio of kinematic viscosity and magnetic diffusion, is decreased. No MRI or dynamo action below Pm=1 is found, agreeing with earlier investigations. Using vertical field conditions, which allow the generation of a net toroidal flux and magnetic helicity fluxes out of the system, the MRI is found to be excited in the range 0.1 < Pm < 10, and that the saturation level is independent of Pm. In the vertical field runs strong mean-field dynamo develops and helps to sustain the MRI.

description: Soliton dynamics in a large variety of longitudinally modulated lattices are studied in terms of phase space analysis for an effective particle approach and direct numerical simulations. Complex soliton dynamics are shown to depend strongly on both their power/width and their initial momentum as well as on lattice parameters. A rish set of qualitatively distinct dynamical features of soliton propagation that have no counterpart in longitudinally uniform lattices is illustrated. This set includes cases of enhanced soliton mobility, dynamical switching, extended trapping in several transverse lattice periods, and quasiperiodic trapping, which are promising for soliton control applications.

description: Let (R; m; k) be a local noetherian domain with field of fractions K and R_v a valuation ring, dominating R (not necessarily birationally). Let v|K be the restriction of v to K; by definition, v|K is centered at R. Let \hat{R} denote the m-adic completion of R. In the applications of valuation theory to commutative algebra and the study of singularities, one is often induced to replace R by its m-adic completion \hat{R} and v by a suitable extension \hat{v} to \hat{R}/P for a suitably chosen prime ideal P, such that P \cap R = (0). The purpose of this paper is to give, assuming that R is excellent, a systematic description of all such extensions \hat{v} and to identify certain classes of extensions which are of particular interest for applications.

description: The low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) system FIRST J102347.6+003841 hosts a newly born millisecond pulsar (MSP) PSR J1023+0038 that was revealed as the first and only known rotation-powered MSP in a quiescent LMXB. While the system is shown to have an accretion disk before 2002, it remains unclear how the accretion disk has been removed in order to reveal the radio pulsation in 2007. In this Letter, we report the discovery of gamma-rays spatially consistent with FIRST J102347.6+003841, at a significance of 7 standard deviations, using data obtained by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The gamma-ray spectrum can be described by a power law (PL) with a photon index of 2.9+-0.2, resulting in an energy flux above 200 MeV of (5.5+-0.9)x10^{-12} erg cm^{-2}s^{-1}. The gamma-rays likely originate from the MSP PSR J1023+0038, but also possibly from an intrabinary shock between the pulsar and its companion star. To complement the gamma-ray study, we also re-investigate the XMM-Newton data taken in 2004 and 2008. Our X-ray spectral analysis suggests that a broken PL with two distinct photon indices describes the X-ray data significantly better than a single PL. This indicates that there exists two components and that both components appear to vary with the orbital phase. The evidence for gamma-ray emission conforms with a recent suggestion that gamma-rays from PSR J1023+0038 may be responsible for ejecting the disk material out of the system.
