Design Synthesis of Advanced Technology, Flying Wing Seaplanes
Creators: name: Levis, Errikos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Over the past decades there has been increasing pressure for ever more efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft to be designed. The use of waterborne aircraft could be a means of satisfying those requirements in the future. The aim of the PhD research program presented in this thesis was to develop the methodologies necessary for the preliminary design of large passenger seaplanes and evaluate the performance of such an aircraft compared to the current state of the art. The major technological and operational constraints in designing large waterborne aircraft were identified through an extensive feasibility study. A number of subject areas necessitating further investigation were also identified. To ensure that waterborne takeoff distance requirements are met, a novel initial sizing methodology was generated, relating the aircraft's thrust and lifting characteristics to the takeoff Balanced Field Length. To allow the design of a broad family of aircraft based on a predefined baseline configuration, the seaplane geometry was fully parameterized. The aerodynamic properties of the entire aircraft were determined using a vortex-lattice potential flow solver, written specifically for the configuration being investigated, combined with other commonly used empirical methods. Novel methodologies for estimating the hydrodynamic characteristics of a broad range of parametric hulls were developed using the wealth of experimental hydrodynamic test data available. These methods can be used not only to predict the resistance and trim characteristics of a seaplane throughout the entire takeoff and landing manoeuvre but also give an initial estimate of the attitudes where hydrodynamic instabilities may be encountered. The airborne and waterborne performance characteristics of each resulting aircraft design were estimated using the aforementioned methods. The resulting design synthesis has been integrated into a single algorithm, written in FORTRAN, intended to allow the easy and prompt analysis of any parametric variant of the baseline configuration.

description: It is advocated that the superembedding approach is a generic covariant method for the description of superbranes as models of (partial) spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. As an illustration we construct (in the framework of superembeddings) an n=1, d=3 worldvolume superfield action for a supermembrane propagating in N=1, D=4,5,7 and 11-dimensional supergravity backgrounds. We then show how in the case of an N=1, D=4 target superspace gauge fixing local worldvolume superdiffeomorphisms in the covariant supermembrane action results in an effective N=2, d=3 supersymmetric field theory with N=2 supersymmetry being spontaneously broken down to N=1. The broken part of N=2, d=3 supersymmetry is nonlinearly realized when acting on Goldstone N=1, d=3 superfields, which describe physical degrees of freedom of the model. As an introduction to the formalism, the procedure of getting effective field theories with partially broken supersymmetry by gauge fixing covariant superbrane actions is also demonstrated with a simpler example of a massive N=2, D=2 superparticle.

description: Molecular docking screening identified ochnaflavone, madreselvin B and hydnocarpin as key components for treating COVID-19 with diabetes in honeysuckle using 3 C-like protease (Mpro), angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) as molecular docking targets, ACE2, DPP4, IL2, NFKB1, PLG, TBK1, TLR4 and TNF were the core targets, and multiple antiviral and anti-inflammatory signalling pathways were involved. Further, the levels of IL-1β and DPP4 in cell supernatant that had been activated by LPS was decreased by hypnocarpin, and ACE2 protein and DPP4 mRNA in cells were down-regulated. Overall, we have identified three components from honeysuckle that have potency to treat COVID-19 combined with diabetes. SARS-CoV-2 transcription may be inhibited by these components in honeysuckle, reducing virus invasion, inhibiting inflammatory factors, and improving immune response. Our findings could provide a basis for the clinical application and further development of honeysuckle.
Charge Carrier Dynamics in Hematite Photoanodes for Solar Water Oxidation
Creators: name: Pendlebury, Stephanie R.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Although the field of solar water splitting is now forty years old, in recent years there has been an upsurge of research in this area, with the aim of using sunlight to produce hydrogen cheaply and efficiently. Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is of particular interest as a photoanode material for solar water splitting, due to its optimum band gap (2.0-2.2 eV) and visible light absorption and stability. Various modifications – including nanostructuring and doping – have been investigated as routes to improved efficiencies, thought to be limited by long visible light absorption depths, low charge carrier mobilities and slow hole-transfer kinetics. Additionally, an anodic applied bias is required for water oxidation to occur on hematite. Improved understanding of the role of applied bias and the processes limiting the performance of hematite photoanodes will lead to more directed routes to photoanode architectures with increased efficiencies. This Thesis describes the results of transient absorption spectroscopy studies, in conjunction with photoelectrochemical measurements, of hematite photoanodes. Transient absorption spectroscopy on microsecond-second timescales allows direct monitoring of the recombination, trapping and reaction of photogenerated holes, both in isolated hematite films, and in photoanodes in a fully functional photoelectrochemical cell. Transient photocurrent measurements probe electron extraction from the photoanode on microsecond-millisecond timescales. The charge carrier dynamics are found to be strongly dependent on the electron density, which is controlled by applied electrical bias. The photocurrent generated is found to correlate with the population of long-lived holes, determined by the kinetics of electron-hole recombination. Generally, effects which lower electron density result in retarded electron-hole recombination kinetics, increasing the population of long-lived holes and hence increasing the photocurrent. Following an introduction and review of the literature, the first results chapter reports that the effect of a positive applied bias is to retard the otherwise dominant electron-hole recombination, increasing the lifetime of photogenerated holes such that water oxidation can occur. The relative timescales of recombination, electron extraction and water oxidation as a function of applied bias are discussed in the following chapter, in conjunction with the results of excitation density studies. The third results chapter compares the charge carrier dynamics in photoanodes with different nanomorphologies. The fourth results chapter discusses the effect of an energetic trap state on charge carrier dynamics, while the effects of surface treatment with cobalt, which is shown to retard recombination at low applied bias, is reported in the final results chapter. Overall conclusions are drawn and the implications of these for photoelectrode design are discussed.

description: This paper employs a novel method for the empirical analysis of political discourse and develops a model that demonstrates dynamics comparable with the empirical data. Applying a set of binary text classifiers based on convolutional neural networks, we label statements in the political programs of the Democratic and the Republican Party in the United States. Extending the framework of the Colonel Blotto game by a stochastic activation structure, we show that, under a simple learning rule, the simulated game exhibits dynamics that resemble the empirical data.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) assistants such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT, built on large language models like GPT-4, are revolutionizing how programming tasks are performed, raising questions about whether code is authored by generative AI models. Such questions are of particular interest to educators, who worry that these tools enable a new form of academic dishonesty, in which students submit AI generated code as their own work. Our research explores the viability of using code stylometry and machine learning to distinguish between GPT-4 generated and human-authored code. Our dataset comprises human-authored solutions from CodeChef and AI-authored solutions generated by GPT-4. Our classifier outperforms baselines, with an F1-score and AUC-ROC score of 0.91. A variant of our classifier that excludes gameable features (e.g., empty lines, whitespace) still performs well with an F1-score and AUC-ROC score of 0.89. We also evaluated our classifier with respect to the difficulty of the programming problem and found that there was almost no difference between easier and intermediate problems, and the classifier performed only slightly worse on harder problems. Our study shows that code stylometry is a promising approach for distinguishing between GPT-4 generated code and human-authored code.

The twistor description of the latter naturally connects with the BRST approach to string quantization, providing an interpretation of the picture phenomenon in terms of the moduli space of string backgrounds.

description: The recent advancements in Generative AI have significantly advanced the field of text-to-image generation. The state-of-the-art text-to-image model, Stable Diffusion, is now capable of synthesizing high-quality images with a strong sense of aesthetics. Crafting text prompts that align with the model's interpretation and the user's intent thus becomes crucial. However, prompting remains challenging for novice users due to the complexity of the stable diffusion model and the non-trivial efforts required for iteratively editing and refining the text prompts. To address these challenges, we propose PromptCharm, a mixed-initiative system that facilitates text-to-image creation through multi-modal prompt engineering and refinement. To assist novice users in prompting, PromptCharm first automatically refines and optimizes the user's initial prompt. Furthermore, PromptCharm supports the user in exploring and selecting different image styles within a large database. To assist users in effectively refining their prompts and images, PromptCharm renders model explanations by visualizing the model's attention values. If the user notices any unsatisfactory areas in the generated images, they can further refine the images through model attention adjustment or image inpainting within the rich feedback loop of PromptCharm. To evaluate the effectiveness and usability of PromptCharm, we conducted a controlled user study with 12 participants and an exploratory user study with another 12 participants. These two studies show that participants using PromptCharm were able to create images with higher quality and better aligned with the user's expectations compared with using two variants of PromptCharm that lacked interaction or visualization support.

Combined impact of land cover, precipitation, and catchment area on discharge and phosphorus in the Mississippi basin's subcatchments
Creators: name: Allafta, Hadi

description: Phosphorus (P) supplies (concentrations and fluxes) are essential drivers for biological activities in rivers and should be controlled to prevent eutrophication that usually results from urbanization and agricultural expansion. In this study, data from 26 subcatchments in the Mississippi basin were compiled from 2013 to 2017 to identify how catchment area, precipitation, and land cover affect discharge and total P (TP) and how TP yield diverges from a generalized local response mode. Results revealed that area‐weighted discharge (Qarea) is controlled by precipitation and land cover (i.e., increases with precipitation and with both urban and forestland covers and decreases with both shrub/scrub and pasture/grassland covers). Total P concentration increases with agricultural land cover and decreases with both forest and water/wetland covers. Total P yield (Qarea × concentration) is governed mainly by Qarea because the latter changes by a higher order of magnitude compared with concentration in the current study. Hence, TP yield follows the same trends that Qarea exhibits with precipitation and land cover. In all catchments, TP yield varied significantly (p

description: We present results from spectroscopic follow-up observations of stars identified in the Kepler field and carried out by teams of the Kepler Follow-Up Observation Program. Two samples of stars were observed over six years (2009-2015): 614 standard stars (divided into "platinum" and "gold" categories) selected based on their asteroseismic detections and 2667 host stars of Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), most of them planet candidates. Four data analysis pipelines were used to derive stellar parameters for the observed stars. We compare the $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$, $\log$(g), and [Fe/H] values derived for the same stars by different pipelines; from the average of the standard deviations of the differences in these parameter values, we derive error floors of $\sim$ 100 K, 0.2 dex, and 0.1 dex for $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$, $\log$(g), and [Fe/H], respectively. Noticeable disagreements are seen mostly at the largest and smallest parameter values (e.g., in the giant star regime). Most of the $\log$(g) values derived from spectra for the platinum stars agree on average within 0.025 dex (but with a spread of 0.1-0.2 dex) with the asteroseismic $\log$(g) values. Compared to the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC), the spectroscopically derived stellar parameters agree within the uncertainties of the KIC, but are more precise and are thus an important contribution towards deriving more reliable planetary radii.

description: We derive a geometric integration formula for the partition function of a classical dynamical system and use it to show that corrections to the WKB approximation vanish for any Hamiltonian which generates conformal motions of some Riemannian geometry on the phase space. This generalizes previous cases where the Hamiltonian was taken as an isometry generator. We show that this conformal symmetry is similar to the usual formulations of the Duistermaat-Heckman integration formula in terms of a supersymmetric Ward identity for the dynamical system. We present an explicit example of a localizable Hamiltonian system in this context and use it to demonstrate how the dynamics of such systems differ from previous examples of the Duistermaat-Heckman theorem.

description: The dynamics of the diffusion flow of holes photoinjected into a mesoscopic GaAs channel of variable width, where they, together with background electrons, form a hydrodynamic electron-hole fluid, is studied using time-resolved microphotoluminescence. It is found that the rate of recombination of photoinjected holes, which is proportional to the rate of their flow, decreases when holes pass through the expanded sections of the channel. In fact, this is the Venturi effect, which consists in a decrease in the velocity of the fluid in the expanded sections of the pipe. Moreover, a non-uniform diffusion velocity profile is observed, similar to the parabolic Hagen-Poiseuille velocity profile, which indicates a viscous hydrodynamic flow. It is shown that in argeement with a theory, the magnetic field strongly suppresses the viscosity of the electron-hole fluid. Additional evidence of the viscous nature of the studied electron-hole fluid is the observed increase in the recombination rate with increasing temperature, which is similar to the decrease in the electrical resistance of viscous electrons with temperature.

description: We present an Arctic ocean–sea ice reanalysis covering the period 2007–2016 based on the adjoint approach of the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) consortium. The spatiotemporal variation of Arctic sea surface temperature (SST), sea ice concentration (SIC), and sea ice thickness (SIT) is substantially improved after the assimilation of ocean and sea ice observations. By assimilating additional World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA18) hydrographic data, the freshwater content of the Canadian Basin becomes closer to the observations and translates into changes of the ocean circulation and of transports through the Fram and Davis straits. This new reanalysis compares well with previous filter‐based (TOPAZ4) and nudging‐based (PIOMAS) reanalyses regarding SIC and SST. Benefiting from using the adjoint of the sea ice model, our reanalysis is superior to the ECCOv4r4 product considering sea ice parameters. However, the mean state and variability of the freshwater content and the transport properties of our reanalysis remain different from TOPAZ4 and ECCOv4r4, likely because of a lack of hydrographic observations.
description: Arctic sea ice has declined rapidly and reached a record minimum in September, 2012. Arctic ocean–sea ice reanalyses are invaluable sources for understanding the Arctic sea ice changes. We produce an Arctic ocean–sea ice reanalysis of the years 2007–2016 using the adjoint method. The reanalysis is dynamically consistent without introducing unphysical mass and energy discontinuities as in filter‐based data assimilation methods.

description: In this 1971 interview with Henry G. La Brie III, Brown discusses her experiences in Des Moines and Sioux City Iowa, as well as the purpose of black newspapers such as the Omaha Star. Brown briefly describes her upbringing in Birmingham, Alabama and her degree in teachers training and English from Miles College. After graduating from Miles in 1932, Brown left with her husband, pharmacist S. Edward Gilbert, for Chicago, Illinois and Des Moines, Iowa. Brown recalls the difficulty of obtaining a storefront for a black-run pharmacy and speaks on the distinctions between Northern and Southern racism. Also discussed is her education at Drake University, which was supported by Harvey Ingram. Regarding her time in Sioux City, Brown describes her relationship with Robert E. O'Brian, then President of Morningside College, and her work with Reverend D.H. Harris of Malone A.M.E. Church, with whom she provided child care and opened a community center. Brown explains how Reverend Harris motivated her to start a black newspaper and his ideas as a black leader. She goes on recalling the events leading to the first Omaha Star 1938. Also discussed is Reverend John Markoe, the DePorres Club, the her role as a black employer, and the discrimination she faced throughout her career. In the last portion of the interview, Brown discusses the need of the black press, how she measures success, the circulation of the Omaha Star, and the role of white readership.

description: A crucial step in order to achieve fast and low-energy switching operations in resistive random access memory (RRAM) memories is the reduction of the programming pulse width. In this study, the incremental step pulse with verify algorithm (ISPVA) was implemented by using different pulse widths between 10 µs and 50 ns and assessed on Al-doped HfO2 4 kbit RRAM memory arrays. The switching stability was assessed by means of an endurance test of 1k cycles. Both conductive levels and voltages needed for switching showed a remarkable good behavior along 1k reset/set cycles regardless the programming pulse width implemented. Nevertheless, the distributions of voltages as well as the amount of energy required to carry out the switching operations were definitely affected by the value of the pulse width. In addition, the data retention was evaluated after the endurance analysis by annealing the RRAM devices at 150oC along 100 h. Just an almost negligible increase on the rate of degradation of about 1 µA at the end of the 100 h of annealing was reported between those samples programmed by employing a pulse width of 10 µs and those employing 50 ns. Finally, an endurance performance of 200k cycles without any degradation was achieved on 128 RRAM devices by using programming pulses of 100 ns width. © 2020 by the authors.

Learning Definite and Normal Logic Programs by Induction on Failure
Creators: name: Kimber, Timothy
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis presents two novel inductive logic programming (ILP) approaches, based on the notion of a connected theory. A connected theory contains clauses that depend on one another, either directly or via clauses in the background knowledge. Generalisation of such a theory is proved to be a sound and complete method for learning definite ILP hypotheses. The Induction on Failure (IOF) proof procedure, based on the connected theory generalisation method, adds secondary examples into the hypothesis, and generates auxiliary clauses to explain them. These concepts, novel to IOF, address the issues of incompleteness present in previous definite ILP methods. The concept of the connected theory is also applied to the non-monotonic, normal program setting. Thus, the method of generalisation of a normal connected theory is presented. Fundamental to this is the assertion that a partial non-monotonic hypothesis must include both positive and negative information, which the general hypothesis should preserve. This has resulted in, as far as the author is aware, the most complete semantic characterisation available of non-monotonic ILP using a bridge formula. It is proved that generalisation of such a formula to a set of completed definitions is a sound method of generating normal program hypotheses. In the course of establishing a completeness result for this latter approach, the semantics of the supported consequences of a normal program are defined, and the support tree method is presented and shown to be a sound and complete proof procedure for supported consequences. Using these results, it is shown that, for function-free programs, any correct hypothesis for which the examples are supported consequences of the learned program can be derived via a normal connected theory.

Monsieur,

à l'exemple de Monsieur Legouz, j'ai pris de l'inclination pour les antiquités. Comme j'ai peu de temps à moi, je n'ai pas celui d'étudier cette partie comme il faudrait, mais je ramasse surtout quand je suis à Paris les morceaux qui viennent se présenter quand ils sont à portée de mes petits moyens. J'ai donc un commencement de cabinet où il y a bien des pièces que mes connaissances ne suffisent par à expliquer. J'aurais dessein petit à petit de faire graver par suite ce que je possède et comme vous êtes tout à fait obligeant, communicatif et éclairé, j'espère, sous la protection de Monsieur Legouz que [fol. 9 v] vous voudrez bien me permettre de prendre la liberté de vous présenter tous les ans les gravures que j'aurais fait faire, avec la note de ce que j'ai pu apprendre sur chaque article, laquelle sans doute vous ne trouverez pas bien savante, mais vous excuserez mon ignorance que vous trouverez grande sur ma bonne volonté. Vous savez par votre expérience ce qu'il en coûte et combien il faut d'années pour parvenir à une certaine érudition. Il n'est pas donné à tout le monde d'y atteindre. Ceux qui sont peu habiles ne peuvent donc mieux faire que de recevoir à ceux qui ont éminement la science et l'intelligence.

J'ai l'honneur d'être très respectueusement,

Monsieur,

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

De Migieu

A Dijon, le 30 novembre 1772.

Determinants of, and outcomes associated with antihypertensive‐associated incident diabetes and metabolic syndrome in hypertensive patients in the ASCOT‐trial
Creators: name: Gupta, Ajay Kumar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Controversy exists whether the adverse effects on glucose metabolism and the increased incidence of new‐onset diabetes (NOD) associated with beta‐blockers and/or diuretics translate into adverse cardiovascular (CV) events, and thereby seriously detract from the beneficial effects of the these agents. Furthermore, little is known about the determinants of NOD among hypertensive patients. Controversy also surrounds the clinical utility of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its role in predicting NOD and CV outcomes. In this thesis I present an evaluation of these issues using the database of the Anglo‐Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial. Increase in the baseline fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body mass index, serum triglyceride and systolic blood pressure significantly increased the risk for NOD. In contrast, randomisation to amlodipine ± perindopril treatment (in comparison with atenolol ± thiazide), high HDL ‐cholesterol, alcohol use and age over 55 years were significant protective factors. On further analysis, cumulative‐mean glucose (CMG) and FPG were found to be independent and significant risk factors for CV outcomes and death. Allocation to atenolol‐based treatment (vs. amlodipine‐based treatment) was associated with a significantly greater increase in CMG levels, and a progressive worsening of glycaemic status (normoglycaemia, impaired glycaemia and NOD) after 1 year of follow‐up. Worsening glycaemic status was found to have a significant and linear relationship with increased risk of CV outcomes and death. The MetS, after adjustment for its constituent components, was found to be an independent predictor for stroke and death, but not for coronary outcomes. Furthermore, the MetS was associated with a 22% increased risk of NOD, after adjusting for its individual components, and was found to be a significantly better predictor of NOD than impaired fasting glucose. In summary, these data suggest that among hypertensive patients, antihypertensive agents are important determinants for the development of NOD, and the antihypertensive-associated in‐trial glycaemic worsening is associated with increased risk of CV outcomes and death. I have also shown that, in routine clinical practice, the MetS has an important role as an easy‐to‐use predictor for the risk of NOD, CV outcomes and death; and that the increased risk of CV outcomes and death associated with the MetS is independent of the influence of its constituent components.
