description: This paper examines the influence of neutral dynamics on the high latitude ionosphere. Using a longitudinal chain of ionosondes at high northern latitudes ($52\,^{\circ}{\rm}$-$65\,^{\circ}{\rm}$N), planetary wave-like structures were observed in the spatial structure of the peak electron density in the ionosphere. Longitudinal wavenumbers S$_{0}$, S$_{1}$ and S$_{2}$ have been extracted from these variations of the F layer. The observed wave activity in wavenumber one and two does not show any significant correlation with indices of magnetic activity, suggesting that this is not the primary driver. In addition, the motion of the S$_{1}$ ionospheric wave structures parallels that of the S$_{1}$ planetary waves observed in the winds of the mesosphere-lower-thermosphere derived from a longitudinal array of SuperDARN meteor-radar wind measurements. The time delay between the motions of the wave structures would indicate a indirect coupling, commensurate with the diffusion to the ionosphere of mesospheric atomic oxygen perturbations.

description: Depression is the leading cause of disability in the world. Diagnosis and treatment of depression remain challenging due to the fact that the pathophysiology of the disease is not fully understood. As a result, effective diagnosis and development of efficacious treatments remain elusive. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the frontline depression treatment and inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, alleviating the symptoms of depression. SSRI efficacy is suboptimal, and usually takes time for effectiveness. This exemplifies the need for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of depression to improve treatment strategies. This thesis develops computational strategies to study serotonin using fast voltammetry signals. We develop web-based software for rapid and quantitative analysis of fast-scan cyclic-voltammetry data, and artificial neural networks for predicting tonic serotonin concentrations using fast-scan controlled-adsorption voltammetry. We then use our web platform to study how antidepressants with different mechanisms of action affect serotonin dynamics \textit{in vivo} in mice. We find that all increase extracellular serotonin levels, but through different mechanisms. SSRIs (fluoxetine and escitalopram) increase extracellular serotonin by inhibiting serotonin transporters, while reboxetine inhibits norepinephrine transporters, which are also able to reuptake serotonin. Ketamine significantly reduces histamine release, resulting in the disinhibition of serotonin. Finally, we develop a mathematical model that mimics relevant processes involved in serotonin and histamine dynamics, including synthesis, release, reuptake, and autoreceptor modulation. We add a pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics model of escitalopram to simulate the effects of the drug on the serotonin dynamics modelled in the system. Extrapolating the PK model to oral chronic dosing, we study potential mechanisms that explain the delayed onset of action and variable clinical efficacy of SSRIs. This work has used computational approaches to improve our understanding of serotonin dynamics in depression and the mechanisms of antidepressants, with potential implications for their efficacy and onset of action.

description: We describe an all-fiber nonlinear interferometer based on four-wave mixing in highly nonlinear fiber. Our configuration realizes phase-sensitive interference with 97% peak visibility and >90% visibility over a broad 554 GHz optical band. By comparing the output noise power to the shot-noise level, we confirm noise cancellation at dark interference fringes, as required for quantum-enhanced sensitivity. Our device extends nonlinear interferometry to the important platform of highly nonlinear optical fiber, and could find application in a variety of fiber-based sensors.

description: Objectives: To compare comorbidity-related outcomes, adherence to APs, healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and costs pre- and post-transition to once-every-three-month paliperidone palmitate (PP3M) in commercially-insured patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Adults with ≥1 claim for PP3M, ≥2 schizophrenia diagnoses, and adequate treatment with once-monthly paliperidone palmitate (PP1M; i.e., no gap of >45 days in PP1M coverage for ≥4 months, same PP1M dosage for the last two PP1M claims, and appropriate PP1M to PP3M dosing conversion) were selected from the IQVIATM PharMetrics Plus database (05/2014-02/2018). Generalized estimating equation models adjusted for repeated measurements were used to compare patient characteristics, adherence to antipsychotics, HRU, and costs during the 6-month period pre- versus post-transition to PP3M. Results: Of 152 included patients, mean age was 41.0 years and 36.2% were females. Post-PP3M transition, patients were less likely to have a claim with a diagnosis for substance-related and addictive disorders (odds ratio [OR] = 0.57), psychoses (OR =0.57), diabetes without chronic complication (OR =0.72), and drug abuse (OR =0.64; all P P = 0.007), compared to the period pre-PP3M transition. There was no significant difference in HRU pre- versus post-transition. All-cause total (mean monthly cost difference [MMCD]=$242), pre-rebate pharmacy (MMCD=$65), and medical costs (MMCD=$176) remained similar pre- versus post-transition (all P > 0.05). Conclusions: Transitioning to PP3M was associated with an improvement in adherence and in comorbidity-related outcomes related to substance-related and addictive disorders, psychoses, diabetes without chronic complication, and drug abuse. These findings suggest PP3M may enhance comorbidity-related outcomes and adherence while remaining cost neutral.

description: This dissertation provides insights and analysis from a qualitative study about workplace writing transfer during career change. The study relies on narrative-driven, long-form interviews with professionals across fields and roles who have changed careers at least once, about their writing, writing development, and experiences with communication in the workplace. The findings of this research suggest that the workplace-to-workplace writing transfer process is very different from other, earlier transitions. In situating this study, the researcher first calls for a transdisciplinary approach to transfer and workplace writing between the writing studies subfields of rhetoric and composition and technical and professional communication. Next, this project offers up a new theory, specifically targeted toward professional and technical communication scholars as both guidance and encouragement for further study in workplace transfer: Dynamic Workplace Writing Transfer Theory. This theory encompasses both more traditionally studied transfer elements, such as rhetorical awareness and metacognition, but also under and un-studied elements, such as personal writing as workplace transfer mechanism and invention processes in organizations. The dissertation ends on recommendations for teachers, scholars, and organizations.

description: The meatpacking industry is a crucial intermediary between ranchers and the downstream supply chain, and concentration within the industry has significant implications for stakeholders in terms of competition and transmission of efficiencies. Due to constraints on the efficient transportation of live animals over long distances, ranchers primarily operate within regional markets. In this paper we provide new knowledge about the degree of regional concentration in the beef packing industry and propose a model to examine its impact on the wholesale farm-price spread. Findings indicate a significant increase in concentration across all regions, with some regions experiencing up to a 300 percent rise in the Herfindahl index, although concentration levels vary considerably among the different regions.

description: A direct consequence of the occurrence of fermion families is the invariance of currents under certain groups of (universality) transformations. We show how these universality groups can themselves be used to find and study grand family unification models. Identifying two independent - weak and strong - universality groups and assuming that the grand unification group is SU(8N), its subgroup respecting either weak or strong universality is shown to be G = SU(2)xU(1)xSU(3). The fundamental representation of SU(8N) decomposes as N families of leptons and quarks. In the G-invariant limit, all fermions are left-handed. A mechanism for generating the correct number of right-handed fermions with the correct couplings so as to give pure vector colour and electromagnetic currents is exhibited. Universality is shown to result most naturally from a preonic structure of fermions. In such a preonic picture there are no ultraheavy gauge bosons and no anomaly or hierarchy problem.

description: Organic/inorganic hybrid systems offer great potential for novel solar cell design combining the tunability of organic chromophore absorption properties with high charge carrier mobilities of inorganic semiconductors. However, often such material combinations do not show the expected performance: while ZnO, for example, basically exhibits all necessary properties for a successful application in light-harvesting, it was clearly outpaced by TiO2 in terms of charge separation efficiency. The origin of this deficiency has long been debated. This study employs femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and many-body ab initio calculations to identify and quantify all elementary steps leading to the suppression of charge separation at an exemplary organic/ZnO interface. It is demonstrated that charge separation indeed occurs efficiently on ultrafast (350 fs) timescales, but that electrons are recaptured at the interface on a 100 ps timescale and subsequently trapped in a strongly bound (0.7 eV) hybrid exciton state with a lifetime exceeding 5 µs. Thus, initially successful charge separation is followed by delayed electron capture at the interface, leading to apparently low charge separation efficiencies. This finding provides a sufficiently large time frame for counter-measures in device design to successfully implement specifically ZnO and, moreover, invites material scientists to revisit charge separation in various kinds of previously discarded hybrid systems.
Bio-inspired functional materials with special interfacial properties
Creators: name: Li, Ming
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Nature's ingenuity in optimizing the interfacial and structural characteristics of organisms is a rich source of inspiration for biomimetic functional materials. By mimicking multi-scale hierarchical structures and interface designs found in nature, materials with unique interfacial properties in aqueous environments can be developed, advancing both science and technology. This thesis focuses on manipulating the interaction between solid surfaces and the third phase in aqueous environments, achieving interface adhesion/wetting control through structural and chemical design. The research explores two key biomimetic material developments: 1. Drawing inspiration from shark teeth distribution and natural oil-resistant surfaces, a shape-controllable Al2O3 substrate is created using sol dispersion/transfer and gel stereotyping/sintering methods. The substrate, hydrophilic in air, transforms into a superoleophobic surface underwater, exhibiting low oil adhesion. Its ceramic traits, including resistance to acids/alkalis, salt, and high loads, make it versatile for various liquid environments. Remarkably, even under specific wear conditions, the substrate retains its underwater super-oleophobicity due to the creation of new surfaces with similar surface roughness. This scalable approach offers a promising avenue for crafting practical underwater interfacial materials with enduring functionality. 2. Inspired by mussel's underwater wet adhesion mechanism, a sweat resistant bioelectronic skin sensor (SRBSS) is developed for detecting bioelectrical signals and limb movements with high sensitivity. This sensor exhibits strong adhesion to dry, oily, and sweaty human skin while maintaining stable and sensitive electrical signal responsiveness. The hydrogel sensor, with low swelling behavior and antibacterial properties, serves as an anti-sweating electronic skin interface for long-term real-time monitoring of bioelectric signals. Notably, it boasts high stretchability, rapid self-healing, covalent bonds remodeling, moisture-proofing, and anti-freezing capabilities, making it suitable for wearable anti-sweating bioelectronic sensors. This innovation offers a fresh perspective on designing wearable electronic sensors for human-computer interaction in complex conditions.

description: This thesis is an exploration of my parents' decision to emigrate from apartheid South Africa in the early 1980s for political/ideological reasons, and within that context, the role and function of "apologist" stories. To that point, the thesis meditates on the limits of and what it means to tell "true" stories, in ways that will hopefully reflect on the guiding principles of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). These themes are developed across short essays, poems that privilege sound and linguistic play, and longer poems that work within both abstract representational and epic narrative modes. I plan to develop this thesis into a longer manuscript that more explicitly draws connections to the TRC, continues my parents' narrative into the present day, and also reflects more directly on the racial politics of contemporary America after the death of Michael Brown.
Violation of SUSY equivalence in triple gauge boson and gaugino couplings
Creators: name: Mahanta, Uma
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Supersymmetry implies that the trilinear couplings between gauge bosons and gauginos are equal to all orders in perturbation theory. However if SUSY is broken and some of the superpartners have large SUSY breaking masses then they can induce non-decoupling deviations in this relation through radiative corrections. In this article we show that the deviation in the ratio of triple gauge to gaugino couplings from unity can be around 2.3% (3.3%) in heavy QCD models (2-1 models). Precision measurements of triple gaugino couplings at furture high energy colliders can therefore probe such violations and the existence of heavy superparticles in the multi Tev region which would otherwise be inaccessible.

description: Raman spectroscopy is among the top analytical techniques for ultra-low-dense organic matter, crucial to the search for life and analysis of celestial body surfaces in space exploration missions. Achieving the ultimate sensitivity of in-situ Raman spectroscopy necessitates a breakthrough in detecting inelastically scattered light. Single-photon detectors (SPDs) operating in photon counting mode, which can differentiate between Raman and luminescence responses, are promising candidates for the challenging scientific requirements. Since large SPD arrays are not yet commercially available, a dispersive element can be adapted to a single-pixel detector. By exploiting chromatic dispersion in optical fibers and picosecond-pulsed excitation, we delay the arrivals of different spectral components onto a single-pixel SPD. This method also separates weak Raman signals from stronger luminescence through correlated time-domain measurements. We study the impact of fiber properties and the excitation wavelength of a pulsed laser on the spectral resolution of the fiber-dispersive Raman spectrometer (FDRS). Additionally, we demonstrate the FDRS’s potential for studying biomarkers and discuss its feasibility for analyzing inclusions in ice matrices.
Structural health monitoring of composite structures with distributed fibre optic sensing
Creators: name: Li, Yingwu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: The utilization of Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) in aircraft structures has increased due to their advantageous properties, including being lightweight, strong, and cost-effective. However, CFRP materials are more complex than aluminium alloys and are susceptible to damage issues such as delamination, debonding, and matrix cracking, making structural health monitoring (SHM) essential. Strain measurement is a critical SHM technique as it detects structural damage by measuring changes in strain distribution. One effective sensor for strain measurement in CFRP is the single mode fibre that can be interrogated using the optical frequency domain reflectometer technique, which provides high spatial accuracy and continuous high-precision sensing. At present, limited research has been conducted on the analysis of measurement accuracy in the presence of complex environmental conditions, such as thermal and vibration variations. Moreover, SMFs are sensitive to both mechanical and thermal loads. Therefore, this thesis focuses on fundamental research at first, including improving the sensitivity of strain measurements, calibration of strain measurement accuracy, and consistency of strain measurement on different structures. Upon obtaining an accurate strain distribution based on fundamental research mentioned above, the next step of this thesis focuses on damage detection and shape sensing of CFRP shells using the inverse finite element method. The detection of damage is achieved by detecting sudden changes in the strain field under loading. In addition, a widely applicable and high-accuracy shape sensing scheme based on distributed fibre optic sensing has been proposed in this thesis. This scheme combines a block-based strain acquisition method with strain extrapolation based on single image super resolution algorithms to obtain displacement fields with high accuracy and high spatial resolution. The research objectives are geared towards enhancing the SHM of CFRP structures using distributed fibre optic sensing, which improves their performance and durability in aerospace applications.
Non-monotonicity in case-based reasoning and explanations with applications to legal reasoning
Creators: name: Paulino Passos, Guilherme
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: In the goal of capturing patterns of human reasoning, the artificial intelligence (AI) community coined the idea of non-monotonic reasoning (NMR): reasoning that may retract conclusions given new information. This was proposed as more adequately modelling human-style reasoning, including legal reasoning. In this thesis, we propose non-monotonic reasoning analyses of subfields of AI not typically seen as such. The NMR view yields both new criteria of agreement to human-style reasoning for evaluation of models, and new models developed with such criteria in mind. In particular, we cover: i) classification models, focusing on case-based reasoning (CBR) systems, and; ii) interactive explanation models in explainable AI (XAI). In CBR, we analyse abstract argumentation models for case-based reasoning (AA-CBR) as a reasoning system and prove that it does not satisfy cautious monotonicity, a property proposed in the NMR literature. We present a new alternative to AA-CBR that is provably cautiously monotonic, and satisfies as well other NMR properties, such as cut and cumulativity. This alternative also results in a principled treatment of noise in ``incoherent'' casebases. We present ways by which AA-CBR models can be mined from data, and compare with this new cautious version of AA-CBR, using the COMPAS dataset of criminal recidivism. In XAI, we analyse explanations as objects subject to reasoning and present a formal model of an interactive scenario for explanation between user and system. We analyse explanations as committing to some model behaviour, suggesting a form of entailment, which, we argue, can be non-monotonic. We illustrate the approach with arbitrated dispute trees for AA-CBR. Thus, we argue that NMR brings considerations to a wider scope of problems in AI, including AI and law, at a time in which recent systems show impressive capacities but no guarantees on behaviour.

description: Novelty is an important characteristic of a creative idea, forming a core component of creativity. Measurement of novelty is therefore essential to assess creativity. We found deficiencies in a frequently cited method of novelty assessment found in the literature. We refine this method by proposing four modifications, supported by drawing on examples of products and ideas. The refined method and the original method are evaluated by benchmarking them against the collective, intuitive assessment of product novelty by experienced designers. The overall achievement of the refined method as presented in this paper is its contribution to a better assessment of product novelty.

description: The search for thermodynamic admissibility moreover reveals a fundamental difference between liquids and gases in relativistic fluid dynamics, as the reversible convection mechanism is much simpler for liquids than for gases. In relativistic fluid mechanics, positive entropy production is known to be insufficient for guaranteeing stability. Much more restrictive criteria for thermodynamic admissibility have become available in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We here perform a linear stability analysis for a model of relativistic hydrodynamics that is based on the GENERIC (general equation for the nonequilibrium reversible-irreversible coupling) framework of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Assuming a simple form of the entropy function, we find stability for the entire range of physically meaningful model parameters. For relativistic fluid dynamics, full thermodynamic admissibility indeed leads to stability.

description: There has been a significant increase over the past decade in worldwide demand for rapid and efficient capturing of 3D geospatial data. Until recently the technology and training essential to acquire 3D geospatial data was severely limited to government agencies or large corporations. Increasingly affordable tools and methods have given 3D geospatial capabilities to the public, which can be observed within numerous fields of research and industry, such as: military operations, emergency response, humanitarian aid, municipal upkeep, topographic surveying, and cultural heritage. With applicable 3D data the ability to visualize surroundings, perform simulations, conduct crucial research, and gain invaluable knowledge becomes possible. This thesis focuses on developing an accessible, affordable workflow for rapidly creating 3D scenes constructed from captured image series by an aerial platform. By using open source software and simple to operate aerial vehicles such as kites, this workflow is able to be used in nearly any application while requiring minimal training and funding.

description: Pseudorandom number generators are required to generate pseudorandom numbers which have good statistical properties as well as unpredictability in cryptography. An m-sequence is a linear feedback shift register sequence with maximal period over a finite field. M-sequences have good statistical properties, however we must nonlinearize m-sequences for cryptographic purposes. A geometric sequence is a sequence given by applying a nonlinear feedforward function to an m-sequence. Nogami, Tada and Uehara proposed a geometric sequence whose nonlinear feedforward function is given by the Legendre symbol, and showed the period, periodic autocorrelation and linear complexity of the sequence. Furthermore, Nogami et al. proposed a generalization of the sequence, and showed the period and periodic autocorrelation. In this paper, we first investigate linear complexity of the geometric sequences. In the case that the Chan--Games formula which describes linear complexity of geometric sequences does not hold, we show the new formula by considering the sequence of complement numbers, Hasse derivative and cyclotomic classes. Under some conditions, we can ensure that the geometric sequences have a large linear complexity from the results on linear complexity of Sidel'nikov sequences. The geometric sequences have a long period and large linear complexity under some conditions, however they do not have the balance property. In order to construct sequences that have the balance property, we propose interleaved sequences of the geometric sequence and its complement. Furthermore, we show the periodic autocorrelation and linear complexity of the proposed sequences. The proposed sequences have the balance property, and have a large linear complexity if the geometric sequences have a large one.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We present the first correlated-electron theory of metamagnetism in strongly anisotropic antiferromagnets. Quantum-Monte-Carlo techniques are used to calculate the field vs. temperature phase diagram of the infinite-dimensional Hubbard model with easy axis. A metamagnetic transition scenario with 1.~order and 2.~order phase transitions is found. The apparent similarities to the phase diagram of FeBr$_2$ and to mean-field results for the Ising model with competing interactions are discussed.

Supersymmetry Signatures with Tau Jets at the Tevatron

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the supersymmetry reach of the Tevatron in channels containing both isolated leptons and identified tau jets. In the most challenging case, where the branching ratios of gauginos to taus dominate, we find that searches for two leptons, a tau jet and a large amount of missing transverse energy have a much better reach than the classic trilepton signature. With total integrated luminosity of ${\rm L} \gsim 4 {\rm fb}^{-1}$, the Tevatron will start extending the expected LEP-II reach for supersymmetry.

description: We have already developed the recommendation system of sightseeing information on SNS by using smartphone based user participatory sensing system. The system can post the attractive information for tourists to the specified Facebook page by our developed smartphone application. The users in Facebook, who are interested in sightseeing, can come flocking through information space from far and near. However, the activities in the community on SNS are only supported by the specified people called a hub. We proposed the method of vitalization of tourist behaviors to give a stimulus to the people. We developed the simulation system for multi agent system with altruistic behaviors inspired by the Army Ants. The army ant takes feeding action with altruistic behaviors to suppress selfish behavior to a common object used by a plurality of users in common. In this paper, we introduced the altruism behavior determined by some simulation to vitalize the SNS community. The efficiency of the revitalization process of the community was investigated by some experimental simulation results.

description: The D0 preshower detector consists of scintillator strips with embedded wavelength-shifting fibers, and a readout using Visible Light Photon Counters. The response to minimum ionizing particles has been tested with cosmic ray muons. We report results on the gain calibration and light-yield distributions. The spatial resolution is investigated taking into account the light sharing between strips, the effects of multiple scattering and various systematic uncertainties. The detection efficiency and noise contamination are also investigated.

description: This article contributes to the increasing traction of social justice in marine spatial planning (MSP) by exploring perceptions and experiences of social justice from the viewpoint of planners and different social groups who were included and (self)excluded in MSP processes. The study builds on empirical material from Poland, Latvia, and Germany consisting of interviews, MSP legislation, and documents that were analysed through the lens of a multidimensional social justice framework centring on recognition, representation, distribution, and capabilities. Results indicate that MSP institutional arrangements constrain possibilities for marginalised and less consolidated actor groups (residents, coastal tourism, and small-scale fisheries) to enjoy the same degree of recognition that is given to groups representing strategic national interests (renewable energy and shipping). We also highlight the role of planners’ self-reflectivity in enhancing/depriving capabilities of vulnerable social groups whose wellbeing and multidimensional relationships with the sea call for institutional responses adaptive to specific planning contexts.
The LHMC Algorithm for Free Field Theory: Reexamining Overrelaxation
Creators: name: Horvath, Ivan
name: Kennedy, A. D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the autocorrelations for the LHMC algorithm in the context of free field theory. In this case this is just Adler's overrelaxation algorithm. We consider the algorithm with even/odd, lexicographic, and random updates, and show that its efficiency depends crucially on this ordering of sites when optimized for a given class of operators. In particular, we show that, contrary to previous expectations, it is possible to eliminate critical slowing down (z[int]=0) for a class of interesting observables, including the magnetic susceptibility: this can be done with lexicographic updates but is not possible with even/odd (z[int]=1) or random (z[int]=2) updates. We are considering the dynamical critical exponent z[int] for integrated autocorrelations rather than for the exponential autocorrelation time; this is reasonable because it is the integrated autocorrelation which determines the cost of a Monte Carlo computation.
