description: We report on a gated single-photon detector based on InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with a single-photon detection efficiency exceeding 55% at 1550 nm. Our detector is gated at 1 GHz and employs the self-differencing technique for gate transient suppression. It can operate nearly dead time free, except for the one clock cycle dead time intrinsic to self-differencing, and we demonstrate a count rate of 500 Mcps. We present a careful analysis of the optimal driving conditions of the APD measured with a dead time free detector characterization setup. It is found that a shortened gate width of 360 ps together with an increased driving signal amplitude and operation at higher temperatures leads to improved performance of the detector. We achieve an afterpulse probability of 7% at 50% detection efficiency with dead time free measurement and a record efficiency for InGaAs/InP APDs of 55% at an afterpulse probability of only 10.2% with a moderate dead time of 10 ns.

description: Cruces is a short film exploring the geographies and stories composing Latin Americans' challenges to reach and live on US soil. By weaving together oral histories, environmental sounds, and the landscape, the film's structure highlights the constitutive elements of transit, such as trains and rivers, and the obstacles immigrants face in their transit, such as forests, deserts, and border regimes. Recorded during 2019 and early 2020, this multivocal ethnography comprises the distributed yet relational geographies of immigrants' quests and settling, reflecting a raw exploration of the regions and testimonies in the midst of one of our age's defining, challenging, and politicized phenomena. In this MA report, I discuss different topics related to Cruces conception, research process, and editing. First, I talk about the set of personal and contextual events in Colombia that related my life to immigration, the US-Mexico border, and the United States. Secondly, concepts regarding testimonies, sounds, images and the long cinematic take, and the politics behind immigrants' representation are discussed. Third, film excerpts and conversations are taken as starting points to discuss immigration, borderlands, and the US surveillance policies in the US-Mexico border areas and the inland-US cities. Connections to prisons, risky geographies, hyper and invisibility, and necro-politics and existence are explored. The document is closed with a chapter containing extended ideas about media creation, research, and public anthropology. Furthermore, debating future personal work and describing how the border premises are dramatically expanding, north and south of the international line, with surveillance, displacement, and precarity far away from the international limit.
Self-adaptive isogeometric spatial discretisations of the first and second-order forms of the neutron transport equation with dual-weighted residual error measures and diffusion acceleration
Creators: name: Wilson, Seth G.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: As implemented in a new modern-Fortran code, NURBS-based isogeometric analysis (IGA) spatial discretisations and self-adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithms are developed in the application to the first-order and second-order forms of the neutron transport equation (NTE). These AMR algorithms are shown to be computationally efficient and numerically accurate when compared to standard approaches. IGA methods are very competitive and offer certain unique advantages over standard finite element methods (FEM), not least of all because the numerical analysis is performed over an exact representation of the underlying geometry, which is generally available in some computer-aided design (CAD) software description. Furthermore, mesh refinement can be performed within the analysis program at run-time, without the need to revisit any ancillary mesh generator. Two error measures are described for the IGA-based AMR algorithms, both of which can be employed in conjunction with energy-dependent meshes. The first heuristically minimises any local contributions to the global discretisation error, as per some appropriate user-prescribed norm. The second employs duality arguments to minimise important local contributions to the error as measured in some quantity of interest; this is commonly known as a dual-weighted residual (DWR) error measure and it demands the solution to both the forward (primal) and the adjoint (dual) NTE. Finally, convergent and stable diffusion acceleration and generalised minimal residual (GMRes) algorithms, compatible with the aforementioned AMR algorithms, are introduced to accelerate the convergence of the within-group self-scattering sources for scattering-dominated problems for the first and second-order forms of the NTE. A variety of verification benchmark problems are analysed to demonstrate the computational performance and efficiency of these acceleration techniques.

description: In sub-Saharan Africa, although male involvement in antenatal care is associated with positive outcomes for HIV-infected women and their infants, men rarely accompany female partners. We implemented a project to increase the number of male partners attending an antenatal clinic at Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi. We evaluated changes in the proportion of women who came with a partner over three periods. During period 1 (January 2007 – June 2008) there was didactic peer education. During period 2 (July 2008 – September 2009) a peer-led male-involvement drama was introduced into patient waiting areas. During period 3 (October 2009 – December 2009) changes to clinical infrastructure were introduced to make the clinic more male-friendly. The proportion of women attending ANC with a male partner increased from 0.7% to 5.7% to 10.7% over the three periods. Peer education through drama and male-friendly hospital infrastructure coincided with substantially greater male participation, although further gains are necessary.

description: In free-space quantum key distribution (QKD), the sensitivity of the receiver's detector channels may depend differently on the spatial mode of incoming photons. Consequently, an attacker can control the spatial mode to break security. We experimentally investigate a standard polarization QKD receiver, and identify sources of efficiency mismatch in its optical scheme. We model a practical intercept-and-resend attack and show that it would break security in most situations. We show experimentally that adding an appropriately chosen spatial filter at the receiver's entrance is an effective countermeasure.

description: We propose a model for heterogeneous cellular networks assuming a space-time Poisson process of call arrivals, independently marked by data volumes, and served by different types of base stations (having different transmission powers) represented by the superposition of independent Poisson processes on the plane. Each station applies a processor sharing policy to serve users arriving in its vicinity, modeled by the Voronoi cell perturbed by some random signal propagation effects (shadowing). Users' peak service rates depend on their signal-to-interference-and-noise ratios (SINR) with respect to the serving station. The mutual-dependence of the cells (due to the extra-cell interference) is captured via some system of cell-load equations impacting the spatial distribution of the SINR. We use this model to study in a semi-analytic way (involving only static simulations, with the temporal evolution handled by the queuing theoretic results) network performance metrics (cell loads, mean number of users) and the quality of service perceived by the users (mean throughput) served by different types of base stations. Our goal is to identify macroscopic laws regarding these performance metrics, involving averaging both over time and the network geometry. The reveled laws are validated against real field measurement in an operational network.

description: The objective of our intervention was to examine the benefits of incorporating traditional birth attendants (TBA) in HIV Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) service delivery. We developed a training curriculum for TBAs related to PMTCT and current TBA roles in Malawi. Fourteen TBAs and seven TBA assistants serving 4 urban health centre catchment areas were assessed, trained and supervised. Focus group discussions with the TBAs were conducted after implementation of the program. From March 2008 to August 2009, a total of 4017 pregnant women visited TBAs, out of which 2133 (53.1%) were directly referred to health facilities and 1,884 (46.9%) women delivered at TBAs and subsequently referred. 168 HIV positive women were identified by TBAs. Of these, 86/168 (51.2%) women received nevirapine and 46/168 (27.4%) HIV exposed infants received nevirapine. The challenges in providing PMTCT services included lack of transportation for referrals and absence of a reporting system to confirm the woman’s arrival at the health center. Non-disclosure of HIV status by patients to the TBAs resulted in inability to assist nevirapine uptake. TBAs, when trained and well-supervised, can supplement efforts to provide PMTCT services in communities.

description: Exposure to mold-contaminated indoor air has been associated with various respiratory diseases, and there is a need for experimental data to confirm these associations. The pro-inflammatory properties of well-characterized aerosolized spores and hyphal fragments from Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus versicolor were examined and compared using various human macrophage cell models including phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 macrophages (THP-1 Ma), primary peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM), and primary airway macrophages (AM) from induced sputum. X-ray treated samples of the two mold species induced different responses with A. fumigatus displaying the most potent induction of pro-inflammatory responses. While hyphal fragments from A. fumigatus were more potent than spores, similar responses were produced by the two growth stages of A. versicolor. THP-1 Ma was the most sensitive model releasing a broad range of cytokines/chemokines. MDM exhibited a similar cytokine/chemokine profile as THP-1 Ma, except for a low-quantity release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β). In contrast, AM appeared to be nonresponsive and yielded a different pattern of pro-inflammatory markers. Toll-like receptor (TLR)4, but also to a certain degree TLR2, was involved in several responses induced by spores and aerosolized hyphal fragments of A. fumigatus in MDM. Taken together, MDM seems to be the most promising experimental macrophage model.

description: ABSTRACTIt is common belief that “throwing more money” at public schools will do a lot improve them. It is also the belief in other quarters that increasing the funding in the education sector will do little or nothing to improve the system. While more money is put into the educational system and directly into the schools system, the ability of the managers and drivers of the school system i.e the principals to manage such funds successfully and whether such financial management skills which they were exposed to at the Basic Accounting Course Training of the Eko project has anything to do with the academic achievements of students has been a major point of debate, therefore this study aimed to check this on the students in mathematics in Epe zone of the Educational District 111. Multi staged sampling procedure was used in this study to select the schools and senior school principals in the zone used for the study. Three instruments: Principals Financial Management Skills Questionnaire (r=0.89), Mathematics Academic Achievement Test (r=0.81), and WAEC Result Subject Analysis were used for the study. The analysis of the data was carried out using One Way ANOVA and Paired Sample T-test. All the hypotheses were tested at 5% level of significance. The results, F(7,18) = 0.823, p>0.05), showed that the financial management skills of public school principals have no significant effect on the academic achievements of the students. It also revealed that the WASSCE results of students in Pre-LESEP period did not differed significantly from the WASSCE results of students in Post-LESEP period (t=1.356, df=4, p<0.05). It was recommended more efforts should be geared towards making the Lagos Eko project impactful in all zones and educational districts of the state.

description: Dating of four adhered crusts of siliceous rock and one calcareous rock is requested using uranium series analysis. The pieces are received on December 17, 2020.
Each of the specimens is subsampled, using a manual tungsten carbide bur, 0.8 mm in diameter. First, the most superficial part of the sampling area was removed with the drill itself, discarding it, and then an amount of between 10-50 mg of material was extracted, avoiding reaching the quartzite.In the stalagtite, the furthest part of the growth zone, usually considered an open system, was chosen.
                                                         APPLIED METHODOLOGY
PREPARATION OF SAMPLE
The sampled materials are collected in low-density plastic centrifuge tubes and treated in a metal-free clean room, where radiotracers are added, homogenized, carbonate removed, digestion and separation of the analytes of interest using resins. ion exchange, following the internal PE-06SU method.
Once the uranium and thorium fractions of each sample have been separated and purified, the isotopic ratios and elemental concentration of the solutions obtained are determined, following the internal method PE-07SU.
INSTRUMENTATION
Measurements of isotopic ratios and quantification of uranium and thorium were performed using a dual-focus magnetic sector mass spectrometer, multi-collector detector system, and plasma ionization mode generated by inductive coupling MC ICP-MS Thermo NEPTUNE .
The equipment configuration included the use of an RPQ filter and detection of 238U, 232Th in Faraday cups and 230Th and 234Th in addition to the spikes 236U, 229Th, in ion counters. The equipment is configured with a jet interface system with type
RESULTS OBTAINED
The measurements of isotopic ratios and uranium and thorium content were carried out in two sequences per element in static and quantification by the standard bracketing method. The concentration of 238U and 232Th was carried out using the isotopic dilution method (IDMS). The spikes and standards used are gravimetrically obtained dilutions of standards and certified reference materials owned by CENIEH, with direct traceability to NIST and IRMM.
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS
The interpretation of the analytical results and translation into dating key has been carried out by applying the general radioactive decay equation and solving it using graphical methods. The agreement of the dates obtained graphically was checked by comparing them with those obtained using the Isoplot software. The decay constants and the results visualization scheme are those recommended by Prof. H. Cheng et al. (2013).

description: To identify under what conditions guiding-centre or full-orbit tracing should be used, an estimation of the spatial variation of the magnetic field is proposed, not only taking into account gradient and curvature terms but also parallel currents and the local shearing of field-lines. The criterion is derived for general three-dimensional magnetic equilibria including stellarator plasmas. Details are provided on how to implement it in cylindrical coordinates, and in flux coordinates that rely on the geometric toroidal angle. A means of switching between guiding-centre and full-orbit equations at first order in Larmor radius with minimal discrepancy is shown. Techniques are applied to a MAST (Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak) helical core equilibrium in which the inner kinked flux-surfaces are tightly compressed against the outer axisymmetric mantle and where the parallel current peaks at the nearly rational surface. This is put in relation with the simpler situation $\vec{B}(x,y,z) = B_0 [\sin(kx) \vec{e_y} + \cos(kx)\vec{e_z}]$, for which full orbits and lowest order drifts are obtained analytically. In the kinked equilibrium, the full orbits of NBI fast ions are solved numerically and shown to follow helical drift surfaces. This result partially explains the off-axis redistribution of NBI fast particles in the presence of MAST Long-Lived Modes (LLM).

We describe two spectral algorithms for this task based on the non-backtracking and the Bethe Hessian operators. These algorithms are shown to be asymptotically optimal for the partial recovery problem, in that they detect the hidden assignment as soon as it is information theoretically possible to do so.

description: Non-LTE calculations for Mg I in red supergiant stellar atmospheres are presented to investigate the importance of non-LTE for the formation of Mg I lines in the NIR J-band. Recent work using medium resolution spectroscopy of atomic lines in the J-band of individual red supergiant stars has demonstrated that technique is a very promising tool to investigate the chemical composition of the young stellar population in star forming galaxies. As in previous work, where non-LTE effects were studied for iron, titanium and silicon, substantial effects are found resulting in significantly stronger Mg I absorption lines. For the quantitative spectral analysis the non-LTE effects lead to magnesium abundances significantly smaller than in LTE with the non-LTE abundance corrections varying smoothly between -0.4 dex and -0.1 dex for effective temperatures between 3400 K and 4400 K. We discuss the physical reasons of the non-LTE effects and the consequences for extragalactic J-band abundance studies using individual red supergiants in the young massive galactic double cluster h and chi Persei.

description: The planet candidate Fomalhaut b is bright in optical light but undetected in longer wavelengths, requiring a large, reflective dust cloud. The most recent observations find an extremely eccentric orbit (e ~ 0.8), indicating that Fomalhaut b cannot be the planet that is constraining the system's eccentric debris ring. An irregular satellite swarm around a super-Earth has been proposed, however, explaining the well-constrained debris ring requires an additional planet on an orbit that crosses that of the putative super-Earth. This paper expands upon a second theory: Fomalhaut b is a transient dust cloud produced by a catastrophic collision between planetesimals in the disk. We perform collisional probability simulations of the Fomalhaut debris disk based on the structure of our Kuiper belt, finding that the catastrophic disruption rate of d ~ 100 km bodies in the high-eccentricity scattering component is several per decade. This model paints a picture of the Fomalhaut system as having recently (within ~10-100 Myr) experienced a dynamical instability within its planetary system, which scattered a massive number of planetesimals onto large, high eccentricity orbits similar to that of Fom b. If Fomalhaut b is indeed a dust cloud produced by such a collision, we should soon see another appear, while Fomalhaut b will expand until it is either resolved or becomes too faint to be seen.

description: Unter dem Selbstkonzept eines Menschen versteht Mummendey (2006) die Gesamtheit aller selbstbezogenen Einstellungen. Somit sind die Wahrnehmung, das Erinnern, das Beurteilen oder das Bewerten einer Person stets selbstbezogen. Diese selbstbezogenen Einstellungen unterliegen einem lebenslangen Wandel, in dem sich zu jeder Zeit auch Selbstdiskrepanzen ergeben können (Higgins, 1987). Gemäß Kraus (2000) geschieht die Konstruktion eines kohärenten Selbstbilds in Narrationen. Stimmen die Geschlechtsidentität einer Person nicht mit dem bei der Geburt zugewiesenem Geschlecht überein, kann von einer Trans*Identität gesprochen werden (Flütsch, 2019). Für das Forschungsvorhaben in dieser Arbeit wurden narrativ-(autobiografische) Interviews mit zwei Trans*Männern geführt. Es wurde der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich narrative Selbstkonzepte von Trans*Personen darstellen. Dabei wurden die selbstbezogenen Einstellungen in den Kategorien Selbstkognition, Selbstkonsistenz, Selbstwert, Soziale Interaktion, Selbstdarstellung und Selbstkontrolle und Selbstregulation untersucht und somit phänomenologisch aufgezeigt, dass das Selbst eine Narration ist. Ein entscheidender Faktor war dabei, dass die Aufgabe, ein kohärentes Selbst zu schaffen, als eine lebenslange Entwicklungsaufgabe erachtet wird. Die Stabilität der Selbstkonzepte geschieht wesentlich im Erwachsenenalter. Um weitere Rückschlüsse zu narrativen Selbstkonzepten von Trans*Identität ziehen zu können, sollten in zukünftigen Untersuchungen Trans*Frauen berücksichtigt werden, damit aussagekräftige Ergebnisse erzielt werden können.
description: According to Mummendey (2006), a person's self-concept is the totality of all selfrelated attitudes. Thus, the perception, remembering, judging or evaluating of a person are always self-related. These self-related attitudes are subject to lifelong change, in which self-discrepancies can also arise at any time (Higgins, 1987). According to Kraus (2000), the construction of a coherent self-image subsequently occurs in narrations. Should a person's gender identity not match the gender assigned at birth, one can speak of a trans* identity (Flütsch, 2019). To undertake the research project in this thesis, narrative (autobiographical) interviews were conducted with two trans* men. Questions were explored about how trans* people's narrative self-concepts are expressed. Self-related attitudes were examined in the categories of self-cognition, self-consistency, self-worth, social interaction, selfpresentation, and self-control and self-regulation, thus demonstrating phenomenologically that the self is a narration. A crucial factor here was that the task of creating a coherent self is considered a lifelong developmental task. The stability of self-concepts occurs substantially in adulthood. In order to draw further conclusions about narrative self-concepts of trans* identity, future research should include trans* women in order to obtain meaningful results.

description: We have examined the impact of intermolecular vibrational coupling effects of the O-H stretch modes, as obtained by the surface-specific velocity-velocity correlation function approach, on the simulated sum-frequency generation spectra of the water/air interface. Our study shows that the inclusion of intermolecular coupling effects within the first three water layers, i.e. from the water/air interface up to a distance of 6 Å towards the bulk, is essential to reproduce the experimental SFG spectra. In particular, we find that these intermolecular vibrational contributions to the SFG spectra of the water/air interface are dominated by the coupling between the SFG active interfacial and SFG inactive bulk water molecules. Moreover, we find that most of the intermolecular vibrational contributions to the spectra originate from the coupling between double-donor water molecules only, whereas the remaining contributions originate mainly from the coupling between single-donor and double-donor water molecules.

description: The present study is aimed at the development of a sunscreen cream for use in high altitude areas which have been found to possess superior sun protection factor (SPF) along with remarkable antioxidant activity. The topical formulation is a standard oil-in-water emulsion of a combination of United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) approved ultraviolet filters; along with melatonin and pumpkin seed oil. The in-silico optimized formulation was characterized using established methods and the stability study was carried out as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The formulation was prepared after requisite pre-formulation analysis by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetric and thermogravimetric analyses; followed by characterization based on color, odor, phase separation, spreadability, specific gravity, homogeneicity, centrifugation and sensitivity. For the stability study, a total of three samples from three batches of the finished product were subjected to the stability study. The samples were analyzed for content uniformity, pH, in vitro SPF, rheology, zeta potential, droplet diameter and microbial analysis of the 0th day and also the the end of the storage period. Results obtained from the stability study indicated that the formulation possesses 50+ in vitro SPF value and remained stable for 6 months and 12 months under storage at 40 ± 2 °C and 75 ± 5% relative humidity; and −20 °C ± 5 °C respectively.

SCRAMJET

description: Scramjets are of growing interest for their application in defense and space explorations [1], [2]. Research on supersonic combustors is of significant importance for the development of scramjets. To have sustainable stable thrust, the flame should stabilize within the combustor and have minimum ignition delay. The flame stabilization in the supersonic combustor is highly transient in nature. Hence, a significant amount of research is focused on ignition and flame stabilization in supersonic combustors[3]. Different stabilization modes can exist in a supersonic combustor. These combustion modes are sensitive to parameters such as injection method, injection pressure, and equivalence ratio (ER). Therefore, the current research aims to study the transient nature of flame stabilization in a strut stabilized supersonic combustor. The experiments are performed using H2-O2 combustion to vitiate the air to stagnation properties of 1450K and 8 bar. The H2 fuel is injected into an M 2.5 flow through ten 2.5 mm holes on either side of a strut. High-speed flame imaging is used to detect the flame transitions between two modes. Simultaneous OH* chemiluminescence and OH PLIF imaging are used to study the flame structure at the strut. For low ER, the flame anchors at the wake of the strut. The recirculation zone at the base of the strut provides free radicals and hot products for the flame to be stabilized at the wake. The region of heat release is observed in the recirculation zone and the shear layer using OH* chemiluminescence images. As the ER increases, the flame flashes back and stabilizes at the fuel jet. As the ER increases the strength of the injection shock increases, thereby decreasing the local velocity and increasing the static temperature, which in turn increases the flame speed of the mixture. Thus, the flame flashes back to the fuel jet. The flame is stabilized at the jet wake by the free radicals and hot products supplied to it by the horseshoe vortices produced by the jet. The post flame structure at the wake of the strut is studied using 10 Hz OH PLIF imaging. The presence of OH radicals in the wake indicates the availability of the hot products that will be supplied to stabilize the flame. Hence the flame is stabilized at the strut wake even at very low ERs. The paper summarizes the transient behavior of flame stabilization in a supersonic combustor.

Perinatal Epigenetic Determinants of Cognitive and Metabolic Disorders

description: Multiple cues from the environment of our indirect and immediate ancestors, which often persist throughout the prenatal period and adulthood, are shaping our phenotypes through either direct, parent-to-child influences, or transgenerational inheritance. These effects are due to gene-environment interactions, which are intended to be a predictive tool and a mechanism of quick adaptation to the environment, as compared with genetic variations that are inherited over many generations. In certain circumstances the influences induced by the gene-environment interactions can have deleterious effects upon the health status, in the context of a radical change in the environment that does not fit with the predicted conditions, via epigenetic alterations. Conversely the best fit to the expected environment might have a delayed aging process and a longer life span. This review will touch upon the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DoHAD) concept, while discussing recent advances in the understanding of metabolic and cognitive disruptions, with a focus on epigenetic factors, their transgenerational effects, and the consequences they might have upon the onset of chronic disease and premature exitus.

description: We present a simple construction of solutions to the supersymmetric higher spin theory based on solutions to bosonic theories. We illustrate this for the case of the Didenko-Vasiliev solution in arXiv:0906.3898, for which we have found a striking simplification where the higher-spin connection takes the vacuum value. Studying these solutions further, we check under which conditions they preserve some supersymmetry in the bulk, and when they are compatible with the boundary conditions conjectured to be dual to certain 3d SUSY Chern-Simons-matter theories. We perform the analysis for a variety of theories with $\mathcal{N}$ = 2, $\mathcal{N}$ = 3, $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 and $\mathcal{N}$ = 6 and find a rich spectrum of $1/4$, $1/3$ and $1/2$-BPS solutions.

description: Articulation problems are seen in 80% of dentofacial deformity (DFD) subjects and 5% of the general public. We hypothesize significant differences exist in acoustic properties of consonants between anterior open bite (AOB) and Class III DFD subjects compared to controls, and AOB and Class III severity correlates with degree of speech abnormality. Orthodontic and audio records were collected and analyzed using spectral moment analysis (SMA) to assess frequency distortions (n=39 AOB, 102 Class III, and 62 controls). A majority of AOB and Class III subjects exhibit visual and auditory distortions. A significant (p<0.01) increase in the centroid sound frequency (M1) was seen in consonant sounds of AOB and Class III patients. Stratifying by anterior-posterior (AP), M1 differences also exist for /s/ and /ʃ/ sounds in Class II and III AOB subgroups, suggesting AP-vertical interaction. Linear correlations between AOB and Class III skeletal severity and articulation distortion exist for /k/ and /t/. AOB and Class III patients have significant shifts in consonant frequencies and AOB and Class III severity correlates with degree of distortion. This is the first demonstration that severity of malocclusion is quantitatively correlated with degree of articulation distortion for consonant sounds, suggesting causation.  These findings offer insight into the complex relationship between craniofacial structures and speech distortions.
