description: Automating the radiotherapy treatment planning process is a technically challenging problem. The majority of automated approaches have focused on customizing and inferring dose volume objectives to used in plan optimization. In this work we outline a multi-patient atlas-based dose prediction approach that learns to predict the dose-per-voxel for a novel patient directly from the computed tomography (CT) planning scan without the requirement of specifying any objectives. Our method learns to automatically select the most effective atlases for a novel patient, and then map the dose from those atlases onto the novel patient. We extend our previous work to include a conditional random field for the optimization of a joint distribution prior that matches the complementary goals of an accurately spatially distributed dose distribution while still adhering to the desired dose volume histograms. The resulting distribution can then be used for inverse-planning with a new spatial dose objective, or to create typical dose volume objectives for the canonical optimization pipeline. We investigated six treatment sites (633 patients for training and 113 patients for testing) and evaluated the mean absolute difference (MAD) in all DVHs for the clinical and predicted dose distribution. The results on average are favorable in comparison to our previous approach (1.91 vs 2.57). Comparing our method with and without atlas-selection further validates that atlas-selection improved dose prediction on average in Whole Breast (0.64 vs 1.59), Prostate (2.13 vs 4.07), and Rectum (1.46 vs 3.29) while it is less important in Breast Cavity (0.79 vs 0.92) and Lung (1.33 vs 1.27) for which there is high conformity and minimal dose shaping. In CNS Brain, atlas-selection has the potential to be impactful (3.65 vs 5.09), but selecting the ideal atlas is the most challenging.

Mantle pyroxenites: deformation and seismic properties
Creators: name: Henry, Hadrien
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The physical properties of peridotite are approximated by those of olivine for most mantle models. However, significant volumes of pyroxene-rich lithologies suggest a rheologically heterogeneous upper mantle, and thus interpretations of upper mantle properties that provide constraints to model large-scale processes, may be inaccurate. This study endeavours to better constrain the physical properties of pyroxenites by characterising their microstructure and by assessing different textural states at different stages of microstructural evolution in the "subduction factory".For that purpose and for consistency of methodology, I developed an automated script to process quantified microstructural data. I then applied this to two contrasting peridotite and ophiolite massifs bearing large volumes of pyroxenites.In the Cabo Ortegal complex, Spain, dunites and layered pyroxenites crop out in what is interpreted as a preserved paleo-arc root that experienced deformation in the deep parts of a subducting slab. Investigation of pyroxenite microstructures reveals that they all reacted to deformation in a similar way, independent of composition. Petrofabrics suggest that layered pyroxenites can preserve structures and textures inherited from high-temperature deformation, could help to localize shearing, and may represent preferred pathways for later fluid percolation.In the Trinity ophiolite, California, USA, well-preserved outcrops of mantle and crustal lithologies were studied. Microstructures from the mantle domains of the ophiolite reveal that peridotites and pyroxenites recorded high temperature plastic deformation involving melt percolation. In the crustal section, cumulate pyroxenites occur in the Bear Creek magma chamber. The microstructures of layered cumulate pyroxenites from the crustal section have a strong planar fabric with a weak linear component and likely formed by compaction and crystal-settling. Microstructural data from the Cabo Ortegal complex and the Trinity ophiolite are then used to compute models of seismic properties for a layered pyroxenite-rich domain. The effect of compositional layering on seismic properties was incorporated into the models to produce the most geologically realistic results. The models suggest that layered pyroxeniterich domains should induce distinctive signal deviations relative to peridotite domains devoid of pyroxenites. Using these data from Cabo Ortegal and Trinity, I investigated the relative influence of the textural state and the modal abundance on the seismic properties. The models suggest that plastically deformed and poorly-oriented pyroxenites have comparable seismic properties whereas pyroxenites affected by compaction would yield the most anisotropic seismic signal.This quantification of pyroxenite microstructures with implications for the rheology and seismicity, is a novel step towards a better understanding of the role of heterogeneities in the geodynamic behaviour of the upper mantle.

description: The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA), at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, measures the radio emission of extensive air showers in the 30-80 MHz frequency range. AERA consists of more than 150 antenna stations distributed over 17 km$^2$. Together with the Auger surface detector, the fluorescence detector and the under-ground muon detector (AMIGA), AERA is able to measure cosmic rays with energies above 10$^{17}$ eV in a hybrid detection mode. AERA is optimized for the detection of air showers up to 60$^{\circ}$ zenith angle, however, using the reconstruction of horizontal air showers with the Auger surface array, very inclined showers can also be measured. In this contribution an analysis of the AERA data in the zenith angle range from 62$^{\circ}$ to 80$^{\circ}$ will be presented. CoREAS simulations predict radio emission footprints of several km$^2$ for horizontal air showers, which are now confirmed by AERA measurements. This can lead to radio-based composition measurements and energy determination of horizontal showers in the future and the radio detection of neutrino induced showers is possible.

description: Solid solution compounds along the Li1–x Na x FeGe2O6 clinopyroxene series have been prepared by solid state ceramic sintering and investigated by bulk magnetic and calorimetric methods; the Na-rich samples with x(Na) > 0.7 were also investigated by low-temperature neutron diffraction experiments in a temperature range of 4–20 K. For samples with x(Na) > 0.76 the crystal structure adopts the C2/c symmetry at all measuring temperatures, while the samples display P21/c symmetry for smaller Na contents. Magnetic ordering is observed for all samples below 20 K with a slight decrease of T N with increasing Na content. The magnetic spin structures change distinctly as a function of chemical composition: up to x(Na) = 0.72 the magnetic structure can be described by a commensurate arrangement of magnetic spins with propagation vector k = (½, 0 0), an antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling within the Fe3+O6 octahedra zig-zag chains and an alternating AFM and ferromagnetic (FM) interaction between the chains, depending on the nature of the tetrahedral GeO4 chains. The magnetic structure can be described in magnetic space group P a21/c. Close to the structural phase transition for sample with x(Na) = 0.75, magnetic ordering is observed below 15 K; however, it becomes incommensurately modulated with k = (0.344, 0, 0.063). At 4 K, the magnetic spin structure best can be described by a cycloidal arrangement within the M1 chains, the spins are within the a–c plane. Around 12 K the cycloidal structure transforms to a spin density wave (SDW) structure. For the C2/c structures, a coexistence of a simple collinear and an incommensurately modulated structure is observed down to lowest temperatures. For 0.78 ≤ x(Na) ≤ 0.82, a collinear magnetic structure with k = (0 1 0), space group P C21/c and an AFM spin structure within the M1 chains and an FM one between the spins is dominating, while the incommensurately modulated structure becomes dominating the collinear one in the samples with x(Na) = 0.88. Here the magnetic propagation vector is k = (0.28, 1, 0.07) and the spin structure corresponds again to a cycloidal structure within the M1 chains. As for the other samples, a transition from the cycloidal to a SDW structure is observed. Based on the neutron diffraction data, the appearance of two peaks in the heat capacity of Na-rich samples can now be interpreted as a transition from a cycloidal magnetic structure to a spin density wave structure of the magnetically ordered phase for the Na-rich part of the solid solution series.

Spin- and valley-dependent Goos-Hanchen effect in silicene and gapped graphene structures

description: We investigate the Goos-Hänchen shift for ballistic electrons (i) reflected from a step-like inhomogeneity of the potential energy and (or) effective mass, and (ii) transmitted through a ferromagnetic barrier region in monolayer silicene or gapped graphene. For the electrons reflected from a single interface we found that the Goos-Hänchen shift is valley-polarized for gapped graphene structure, and valley- and spin-polarized for silicene due to the spin-valley coupling. Incontrast, for example, to gapless graphene the lateral beam shift in gapped structures occurs not only in the case of total, but also of partial, reflection, i.e. at the angles smaller than the critical angle of total reflection. We have also demonstrated that the valley- and spin-polarized displacement of the electron beam, transmitted through a ferromagnetic silicene barrier, resonantly depends on the barrier width. The resonant values of the displacement can be controlled by adjusting the electric potential, the external perpendicular electric field, and the exchange field induced by an insulating ferromagnetic substrate.

Building resilient tourism destination futures in a world of uncertainty: assessing destination vulnerability in Khao Lak, Patong and Phi Phi Don, Thailand to the 2004 Tsunami

description: The vulnerability of tourism destinations to compounding shocks and stressors is an ongoing concern for researchers, industry stakeholders, and local operators. The impact of the 2004 tsunami on the three Thai tourism destinations of Khao Lak, Patong, and Phi Phi Don, serves as a striking reminder of the vulnerability of tourism-dependent destination communities. However, the causal factors contributing to destination vulnerability are under-researched and there are few theoretical parameters for assessing destination vulnerability. To redress these fundamental gaps, this thesis: i. combines theoretical advances from vulnerability approaches, resilience thinking, sustainability science, and tourism studies with geographical theories of place, scale and time to develop a new and innovative Destinaton Sustainability Framework; and ii. applies this framework to guide a case-study based comparative destination vulnerability assessment (DVA) of the tsunami-affected destinations of Khao Lak, Patong, and Phi Phi Don to better understand destination vulnerability and its evolution in different places and developmental contexts. -- The findings from this thesis indicate that destination vulnerability is created and perpetuated by a combination of multiple, dynamic, and interacting factors, including geographical exposure, destination-specific development characteristics, social structures, and governance processes. Underlying these factors and processes are competing stakeholder agendas and actions, historically-embedded cultural norms, institutional preferences, and power structures that entrench and perpetuate unequal access to resources, all of which play out at multiple scales of social organisation. But most importantly, this thesis demonstrates that context matters; it is how the factors combine in a particular place-based setting that matters the most in determining destination vulnerability. -- Through the unique combination of current systems approaches with geographical theories of relational scale, place and time, this thesis makes several important empirical and conceptual contributions to the analysis of vulnerability in the context of sustainable tourism development.

description: A major failure reason for structural materials is fatigue-related damage due to repeatedly changing mechanical loads. During cyclic loading dislocations self-organize into characteristic ordered structures, which play a decisive role for the materials lifetime. These heterogeneous dislocation structures can be identified using advanced electron microscopy and synchrotron techniques. A detailed characterization of the microstructure during cyclic loading by in-situ monitoring the internal structure within individual grains with high energy x-rays can help to understand and predict the materials behavior during cyclic deformation and to improve the material design. While monitoring macroscopic stress and strain during cyclic loading, reciprocal space maps of diffraction peaks from single grains are obtained with high resolution. High Resolution Reciprocal Space Mapping was applied successfully in-situ during cyclic deformation of macroscopic aluminium samples at the Advanced Photon Source to reveal the structural reorganization within single grains embedded in the bulk material during fatigue.

description: The manifestation of granularity in the superconducting properties of pulsed laser deposited YBCO films on commercially available metallic templates was investigated by scanning Hall probe microscopy at 5 K and was related to local orientation mapping of the YBCO layer. The YBCO films on stainless steel templates with a textured buffer layer of yttrium stabilized ZrO2 grown by alternating beam assisted deposition have a mean grain size of less than with a sharp texture. This results in a homogeneous trapped field profile and spatial distribution of the current density. On the other hand, YBCO films on biaxially textured NiW substrates show magnetic granularity that persists down to a temperature of 5 K and up to an applied magnetic field of 4 T. The origin of the granular field profile is directly correlated to the microstructural properties of the YBCO layer adopted from the granular NiW substrate which leads to a spatially inhomogeneous current density. Grain-to-grain in-plane tilts lead to grain boundaries that obstruct the current while out-of-plane tilts mainly affect the grain properties, resulting in areas with low . Hence, not all grain boundaries cause detrimental effects on since the orientation of individual NiW grains also contributes to observed inhomogeneity and granularity.

description: We investigate magnetic reconnection in systems simultaneously containing asymmetric (anti-parallel) magnetic fields, asymmetric plasma densities and temperatures, and arbitrary in-plane bulk flow of plasma in the upstream regions. Such configurations are common in the high-latitudes of Earth's magnetopause and in tokamaks. We investigate the convection speed of the X-line, the scaling of the reconnection rate, and the condition for which the flow suppresses reconnection as a function of upstream flow speeds. We use two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations to capture the mixing of plasma in the outflow regions better than is possible in fluid modeling. We perform simulations with asymmetric magnetic fields, simulations with asymmetric densities, and simulations with magnetopause-like parameters where both are asymmetric. For flow speeds below the predicted cutoff velocity, we find good scaling agreement with the theory presented in Doss et al., J.~Geophys.~Res., 120, 7748 (2015). Applications to planetary magnetospheres, tokamaks, and the solar wind are discussed.

The single phase spinel structure of the double sintered ferrites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD). The ferrite series was studied in terms of DC electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power in the temperature ranging from room temperature to 300 °C and 400 °C, respectively. It was observed that DC electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient α decreased with the increase in x. DC electrical conductivity was found to decrease by about 4 orders. All the compositions showed a negative Seebeck coefficient exhibiting n-type semiconducting nature. From the above experimental results, activation energy and mobility of all the samples were estimated. Small polaron hopping conduction mechanism was suggested for the series of ferrites. Owing to their low conductivity the nonstoichiometric MgCuZn ferrites are the best materials for transformer core and high definition television deflection yokes. © 2017 Wroclaw University of Science and Technology.

description: We have obtained three epochs of Chandra ACIS-I observations (totaling $\sim$184 ks) of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC~300 to study the logN-logS distributions of its X-ray point source population down to $\sim$2$\times$10$^{-15}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ in the 0.35-8 keV band (equivalent to $\sim$10$^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$). The individual epoch logN-logS distributions are best described as the sum of a background AGN component, a simple power law, and a broken power law, with the shape of the logN-logS distributions sometimes varying between observations. The simple power law and AGN components produce a good fit for "persistent" sources (i.e., with fluxes that remain constant within a factor of $\sim$2). The differential power law index of $\sim$1.2 and high fluxes suggest that the persistent sources intrinsic to NGC~300 are dominated by Roche lobe overflowing low mass X-ray binaries. The variable X-ray sources are described by a broken power law, with a faint-end power law index of $\sim$1.7, a bright-end index of $\sim$2.8-4.9, and a break flux of $\sim$8$\times10^{-15}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ ($\sim$4$\times10^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$), suggesting they are mostly outbursting, wind-fed high mass X-ray binaries, although the logN-logS distribution of variable sources likely also contains low-mass X-ray binaries. We generate model logN-logS distributions for synthetic X-ray binaries and constrain the distribution of maximum X-ray fluxes attained during outburst. Our observations suggest that the majority of outbursting X-ray binaries occur at sub-Eddington luminosities, where mass transfer likely occurs through direct wind accretion at $\sim$1-3% of the Eddington rate.

description: We consider stochastic optimization problems in multi-agent settings, where a network of agents aims to learn parameters which are optimal in terms of a global objective, while giving preference to locally observed streaming information. To do so, we depart from the canonical decentralized optimization framework where agreement constraints are enforced, and instead formulate a problem where each agent minimizes a global objective while enforcing network proximity constraints. This formulation includes online consensus optimization as a special case, but allows for the more general hypothesis that there is data heterogeneity across the network. To solve this problem, we propose using a stochastic saddle point algorithm inspired by Arrow and Hurwicz. This method yields a decentralized algorithm for processing observations sequentially received at each node of the network. Using Lagrange multipliers to penalize the discrepancy between them, only neighboring nodes exchange model information. We establish that under a constant step-size regime the time-average suboptimality and constraint violation are contained in a neighborhood whose radius vanishes with increasing number of iterations. As a consequence, we prove that the time-average primal vectors converge to the optimal objective while satisfying the network proximity constraints. We apply this method to the problem of sequentially estimating a correlated random field in a sensor network, as well as an online source localization problem, both of which demonstrate the empirical validity of the aforementioned convergence results.

description: We present an observational estimate of the fraction and distribution of dark mass in the innermost region of the two Galactic globular clusters NGC 6218 (M12) and NGC 288. Such an assessment has been made by comparing the dynamical and luminous mass profiles derived from an accurate analysis of the most extensive spectroscopic and photometric surveys performed on these stellar systems. We find that non-luminous matter constitutes more than 60% of the total mass in the region probed by our data (R<1.6 arcmin~r_h) in both clusters. We have carefully analyzed the effects of binaries and tidal heating on our estimate and ruled out the possibility that our result is a spurious consequence of these effects. The dark component appears to be more concentrated than the most massive stars suggesting that it is likely composed of dark remnants segregated in the cluster core.

description: Nonlinear optical phenomena in nanostructured materials have been challenging our perceptions of nonlinear optical processes that have been explored since the invention of lasers. For example, the ability to control optical field confinement, enhancement, and scattering almost independently, allows nonlinear frequency conversion efficiencies to be enhanced by many orders of magnitude compared to bulk materials. Also, the subwavelength length scale renders phase matching issues irrelevant. Compared with plasmonic nanostructures, dielectric resonator metamaterials show great promise for enhanced nonlinear optical processes due to their larger mode volumes. Here, we present, for the first time, resonantly enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG) using Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) based dielectric metasurfaces. Using arrays of cylindrical resonators we observe SHG enhancement factors as large as 104 relative to unpatterned GaAs. At the magnetic dipole resonance we measure an absolute nonlinear conversion efficiency of ~2X10^(-5) with ~3.4 GW/cm2 pump intensity. The polarization properties of the SHG reveal that both bulk and surface nonlinearities play important roles in the observed nonlinear process.

title: Research, development and manufacturing potential of the general aviation aircraft industry in the Czech Republic
Creators: name: Smrcek, Ladislav
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

Subjects: subject: Operations research, East European studies, Industrial engineering.

description: The Czech aircraft industry was influenced by several negative factors at the end of the eighties. The collapse of the Eastern European market, the world recession in air transport and a consequent reduction in output of aircraft were signs of the deep crisis. Conversely, the removal of trade barriers between eastern and western Europe [Ref. 20] offered new opportunities to this industry. This dissertation examines the potential of the Czech aircraft industry to respond to this new challenge. The historical development of the Czech aircraft industry is presented and its evolution explored. The present day structure of the industry is discussed in detail and this discussion provides the basis for a subsequent evaluation of the marketing potential there. The ability of the industry to respond to its marketing opportunities is then examined in terms of a development and production cost analysis. This analysis is contrasted with the current economics of aircraft production in the West. Configuration studies of a four-seater light aircraft formed a logical focus for market research and development cost studies. In particular, the configuration and design specifications of an aircraft designated TP41 are presented as an example of the type of aircraft currently targeted by the Czech aircraft industry. Through this research know-how data have been collected in the University of Glasgow Eastern European database. Unique knowledge of the development and manufacturing potential of the general aviation aircraft industry in the Czech Republic, together with its research capabilities, gives the Department of Aerospace Engineering unlimited opportunities to establish novel consultancy and research activities using the know-how database presented in this dissertation.

description: Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides present a complex electronic band structure with a rich orbital contribution to their valence and conduction bands. The possibility to consider the electronic states from a tight-binding model is highly useful for the calculation of many physical properties, for which first principle calculations are more demanding in computational terms when having a large number of atoms. Here, we present a set of Slater-Koster parameters for a tight-binding model that accurately reproduce the structure and the orbital character of the valence and conduction bands of single layer MX$_2$, where M = Mo,Wand X = S, Se. The fit of the analytical tight-binding Hamiltonian is done based on band structure from ab initio calculations. The model is used to calculate the optical conductivity of the different compounds from the Kubo formula.

description: The objective of this work is to analyze the technical feasibility of solar pumping systems for their expansion in small-scale irrigation in Tillabéri (Niger Republic). The study area concerned all irrigable listed land in that region. The agro-climatic data, contained in the CLIMWAT 2.0 software, allowed to analyze the environment’s solar energy potential on the one hand, and to estimate the tomato, onion, potato and pepper crops water needs by using the CROPWAT 8.0 software, on the other hand. The solar energy requirements, the power of the photovoltaic generator and the number of required panels by the generator to cover the crops water needs during the peak periods, were determined according to the total hydraulic head to be overcome by the pumping system. This results in monthly average sunshine duration values ranging from 7 hours/day in August to 8.5 hours/day in May. The solar energy is 5 kWh/m2 /day in December and 6.22 kWh/m2 /day in May. The required energy for the irrigation water lifting during the peak periods, the power of the photovoltaic generator and the number of panels required for the generator varied according to the total hydraulic head (Ht) across different crops. Thus, for Ht between 15-120 m, the required energy varies between 3.62-29.00 kWh/day/ha for tomato; 3.56- 28.48 kWh/day/ha for onion; 3.23-25.83 kWh/ha/day for potato and 2.74-21.89 kWh/day/ha for pepper. The required power for the photovoltaic generator varies between 1.08-8.64 kW/ha for tomato; 1.06-8.48 kW/ha for onion; 0.96-7.69 kW/ha for potato and 0.82-6.52 kW/ha for pepper. Likewise, the number of panels varies between 4-27 panels/ha for tomato and onion; 4-25 panels/ha for potato and 3-21 panels/ha for pepper. These results indicate a considerable solar energy potential, characterized by a relatively high duration of sunshine throughout the year and a high energy production capacity per square meter. This would promote the proper functioning of the solar pumping systems as well as their expansion. However, the cost of acquiring the panels required for the generator can be an obstacle to the expansion of this technology, especially in conditions of considerable groundwater depth.
A Review of Vascular Networks for Self-Healing Applications

description: Increasing awareness for sustainability has led to the development of smart self-healing materials, which can extend the service life and improve safety without human intervention. Vascular networks are observed in biological systems, such as leaf venation and blood vascular systems, and provide inspiration for self-healing mechanisms in engineered systems. Embedding a vascular network in a host material has the advantage of addressing varying magnitudes of damage and allowing for an indefinite replenishment of the healing agent, which are current limitations of intrinsic and capsule-based self-healing systems. These networks are demonstrated in polymer and composite materials, with fabrication methods including removal of sacrificial elements, electrospinning, and an array of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. Advances in AM allow more complex network configurations to be realized that optimize fluid distribution and healing potential. This review intends to provide a comprehensive overview of the current progress and limitations of the design approaches, fabrication methods, healing mechanisms, and relevant applications of embedded vascular networks. Additionally, significant research gaps and future research directions for vascular self-healing materials are described.
